FIFTY.SIXTH LEGISLATURES.
Especial to the Press
SENATE.

Special to the Press.l
SENATE.
AUGUSTA, Jan. %.
Mr.. Keyes President pro. tenn. in the chair.
Prayer by Rev. MI. Sanger of Halowell.
House papers were disposed of in concur
renee.
House order directing general joint commit
tees to report finally by Monday, January Goth,
was tabled.
Order relating to trustee disclosures came
from the House, that branch refusing to con-
cur with the Senate in referring the same to
Committee on Judiciary but referring the order
to the next Legislature. 1t was tabled.
The annual report Of the officers of the State
Prison, was received.
Act to amend the charter of the Log Driving
Company was read and assigned.
Petitions, Bills Etc, Presented and Referred
OF Samuel Robinson et ais. for redress of
wrongs; of Otis S. Tebbetts ct. ais. that the
valuation of township No. IS may be reduced.
HoUsE.
In the absence of a Speaker pro tenn. the
House was called to order by the Clerk.
Owing to the fact that many members had
gone home to pass Sunday, there was no quor-
um.
Mr.. Pike of Calais, was present, however,
and desired that a recess be taken until after
noon. so that the entire day might not be lost.
The clerk ruled that by common consent the
recess could be taken.
Mr.. Hadlock of Cranberry Isle, objected, as
there was no quorum present and demanded a
count of the House.
Mr.. Pike was as usual furious for work and
inclined to jump out of the grooves, hoped that
the gentleman from Cranberry Isle would not
insist and proposed that the House proceed to
business without roll call. He would nomi-
nate the aforementioned gentleman as Speaker
pro tenn.
Mr. Hadlock, who has served in both branch
es of the Legislature, declined to be driven OF
coaxed, and stood by his colors, insisting on
the regularity of the proceedings. In this he
was supported by Mr.. Shepherd of Camden.
Mr.. Stone OF Biddeford, made some remarks
in support of Mr.. Pixies proposition.
The Clerk called the roll and quorum was
found to be lacking. Then Mr.. Pike desired
that the abseDtees be called, and the Sergeant
alarms be despatched for such as could be
found.
The Clerk said if Mr.. Pike would designate
that functionary he would send him. Finally
the Second Messenger was agreed upon as the
most available person to represent that official,
and was despatched for such members as might
be lingering about the State House. His mis-
sion was not very successful, however, and af
ter some sparring between the CLERK, who stood
by Gushing. and Mr. Pike, who endeavored to
keep up the discussion until the mixed traiI
should bring enough members for quorum
the former cut the matter short by declaring
the House adjourned until to-morr ow at II
o'clock a. m.
Speaker Neatly returned to-day.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The principal subject of
interest here is the growing bad feeling between
Germany and France. It is evident tnat Ger
many wishes either to provoke quarrel with
France or to test how far she cav 90 without
meeting with resistance; but whatever the mo-
tive, the unsatisfactory tone of the relation be-
