In the Senate.

OLYMPIA. Sept. 5.-Senators Clough Of
Vancouver and Watt of Cheney we're in
their p aces when the Senate convened this
morning A resolution was offered by
Senator Gui foil to dispense with the serv-
ices of all officers, unless otherwise ordered,
except the secretary, assistant secretary,
sergeant-at-arms, Waterman, page and
messengers. 1t was adopted. John Gonna,
of Tacoma, was elected sergeant-at-arms,
George Williams Waterman. and Willie
Hagemeyer as the page.
A communication was read from Gov
ernor Ferry, transmitting the census
figures from the department at Washing
ton, with statement from the presiding
officer that the governor had ordered
500 copies of the same TO be
printed and supplied to the mem
bers of both houses. With this
statement the secretary was excused from
reading the long communication. On
motion of Senator Houghton the COM
munication was referred to a special COM
mittee of i've, to be appointed by the presi-
dent, who asked permission to desire the
appointment.
Secretary Lang inquired as to the status
OF Senate bill No. 147, which he believed TO
have passed, but which is not in the official
copy. Secretary Barton made a written
report as follows:

question was called for, and the motion
carried bv thirty-eight to thirty. Long,
however, protested against an increase, ana
although . hoidoyer, was willing to sacrifice
his own interest and ambition. and would
resign his seat if necessary. lApplause.l
Parkinson said he was willing to resign II
necessary. nut that was not the point. A
bird in the hand was worth more than
bird in the bush, and he considered that it
would be q violation of the constitution.
Owines compared Long to Horatius, who
kept the bridge, and recommended that all
the holdovers resign. A general willing
ness was expressed to do that If necessary
as the only solution Long said it was ad-
mitted that some violation must be done the
constitution, and he was in favor of the least
possible departure from it. The point was
made that all this discussion was out of
order. and Wood said they would better
reconsider. This was agreed to. Rine-
hart then offered the following resolution:
Resolped, That Il Is the sense of this caucus
that the basis for an apportionment bill shall
be according to the population under the fed
eral census OF 1890. as provided by the constitu-
ton Of the state of Washington, and that either
or both houses may be increased to q number
uUmClSnt W UCSoBkPtien Tic P1tptsSs
the constitutional limit a. to number.
The second section provoked another
discussion. Shaw left the chair to remind
the members of the necessity of arriving at
such q conclusion as would secure the
two-thirds support necessary for the emer-
gency clause. Long said the legislature
was not to blame for increasing the
representation. The constitution called
for 1t, and the woderful in
crease of population fully justified
it. Grub. Of Spokane, was sure the peo-
pie would approve Of any action taken by
the legislature. He said there was too
much wind at the last session. He would
like to see more solid matter passed. Rine-
harris resolution was then carried by q
unanimous vote. The caucus was pretty
evenly divided on the question whether or
not to increase the representation. Some
of the members agreed with Long, that
they would not be bound by the vote of
the caucus.

Officials Instructed Not to Receive Fill
ings for More Than $50 Acres.
WASHINGTON CITY. Sept. 5.-Land COM
missioner Croft today issued to the regis
tiers and receivers of the land offices
circular releasing from reservation the
lands OF the arid region. II calls attention
to that portion of the act approved August
80, 1890, which repeats SO much of the act
of October 2, 1888. as withdraws the lands
IN the arid regions of the United States
from entry, occupation or settlement, with
the exception that reservation sites hereto.
fore located or selected shall remain and
be reserved from entry or settlement,
until otherwise provided by law, and
reservoir sites located or erected on arid
lands shall in like manner be reserved
from the date of location or selection.
The circulars OF August 5, 1889, and August
8, $780, are resclnded.
The entries validated by the act will be
acted upon in regular order, and all
patents issued on entries made subsequent
to this act and on entries so validated west
OF the Tooth meridian will contain a clause
reserving right-of-way for bitches and
canals constructed by the authority of the
United States.
Particular attention is called to that
portion of the law which restricts the
requirement of title under the land laws to
800 acres in the aggregate. The circular
says:
''You will require from all applicants to
file or enter under any of the land laws of
the United States atfidavits showing that
since August so. 1890, they had not filed
UPON or entered under said laws a quantity
OF land which would make with the tracts
applied for, more than $50 acres, or
provided that the party should claim an
exception as TO settlers prior TO the act of
August 80, 1890, you will require an afti-
dayit establishing the facts.
