W. c. Hayes, M. B. Champion and John
DOdd have built an ice boat, and are
scudding over the ice every day. They
say it works like charm, and they are
talking of paying ST. Ignace and Macki-
nae visit.
The Algomah, up to yesterday, had not
left her dock at st. Ignace since reach
ing it last Sunday. AS feared, the storm
of last Saturday morning broke up the
ice and blocked the channel that had
been opened for her.

Tho nomination of Joseph Cusson, of
Bay City, as State Salt Inspector was re-
jected by vote of Ia yeas to IS nays, in

to defeat Mr.. Cusson's confirmation. 1t
is said that Gov. Begole will leave the
matter rest for the present.
The Senatorial conundrum remains
unsolved. Thomas W. Palmer of Detroit
has received quite boom this week, re-
ceiving at one time 81 votes. On the
first ballot yesterday the vote stood,
Crosby 10, Whitney 4, Palmer &c. Stock
bridge ~, Chamberlain 80, Willis II,
Stout 2,Hannah 2, Ferry 5, Lothrop 1. One
objection urged against Palmer is a geo.
graphical one, he residing in the eastern
part of the state. His ability for the
position is not questioned. 1t is time
the business of senator making was fin
ished, so that the members could devote
more of their time to the interests of
the people of the state.
