THE LEGISLATURE.

The Special Session to Begin at High Noon
Yo-Day List Of Members In the City
Last MISREPRESENTATION as to the Prob
able Action.
A majority of the members of the legisla-
ture, which is to meet in extra session this
morning at II O'Clock, have arrived in the city
and are comfortably housed in the several
hotels. The remainder will make their ap-
pearance, probably, on the early trains this
morning.
The preparations for the session in the tenn
porary capitol, the new market house, have
been made as complete as possible under the
rcumstances. The senate will meet in the
same room that served for the two closing
days of the last regular session. Some con-
veniences have been added, and it is probable
that there will be little cause of complaint
from that body. The House will convene in
the main market nall, which has, however,
been partitioned off about midway between the
stage and the St. Peter street entrance, so that
there will not be as great difficulty in hearing
what is uttered on the floor as during the con-
Guiding hours of the last session. The fl or
has been covered with thick layer of saw
dust--a direct importation from Minneapolis
and there will be no interruption of the pro-
ceedings on account of the footsteps of the
members who may desire to confer with their
| associates. Considering the utter destruction
of the capitol last March, no better arrange
| ments for both branches could be expected at
the present time. The desks consist of plain
deah tables covered with green bombazine, and
| in front of each members chair is tackled a
| heavy blotting pad. Thou gh these accommO
| datiOns are somewhat primitive and may be
| little incOnvenent they will probably. be &C.
| cepted for the short session as the best that
| could be offered in the emergency
| There is good deal of uncertainty as to
| what action the legislature will pursue. 1t
appears to be agreed that the officers of the
last House will be reappointed to the positions
| they held at that time by an omnibus resOlu
ton. II is probable that after that the cleo
ton of United States Senator in place of
Gen. Edg+rton will b. proceeded with. The
| prevailing opinion is that Window will carry
off The cake, although there is well defined
| opposition to his candidacy, and if Gen.
Edgerton would positively Announce his can
ddacy there is no doubt but he would develop
considerable strength, notwithstanding the
| dlcta of the party managers.
On the bond QUESTION there appears to be
a great diversity of opinion. A great many
| Of the Republican members are in favor of ad-
| Journing as soon as the question comes up,
| and leaving the decision to the next legisla-
ture, and it is possible this course will be pur-
| sued. No caucus has yet been determined
upon, but one will be held, unquestionably,
| within a day or two. The Democratic men,
| bers generally, as far as the GLOBE reporter
could ascertain. regarded the resolutions of
| the state convention as tantamount to express
| Instructions, and were in favor of opposing all
| delays and providing for the payment of the
bonds without unnecessary delay. Mr.. Selah
Chamberlain was on hand early, accompanied
by his attorney, Gordon E. Cole, and was as
anxious as ever for the settlement of the
vexed question. But whether or not it will
he settled is one of those things no fellow can
find ont.
1t was evident from the expressions of
| those who arrived on the late trains that a
determined effort would be made to stave off
action on the bond question till new legisla-
ture could he electe d. Nevertheless MAORI
| ty of those in the city were considerably at
sea, and were unwilling to express an opinion
on the subject. They were rather seeking for
information, and were willing to receive 1t at
1t will take several days to concentrate opin
| ion, and perhaps-but no matter.
