Des Moines reports senate panel votes against pardoning Wes ley Hiking and notes House committees plan no recommendation on the case. Expounding on state finance, lawmakers debate appropriations for the St Louis exposition, with bids ranging from 75,000 to 250,000 dollars and linked building allowances.
