The senate passed the day on Senator
Worsts educational bill, which is the SUBJ
ject of much discussion and the house
took up short bills, fourteen of which were
passed. The only discussion that stirred

what the outcome of the situation will be,
no one can say at present, but there can be
no doubt OF the genuineness OF the fight.
1t is no hippodrome. The men have en-
tered the ring IN earnest and the black
mailers and spoilers will be given an Op-
p%Ortunity 10 show their metal. There NAV
be compromises, but there is a general sus-

finish.

ough examination and that his testimony
was full and complete. Other important
witnesses have been summoned and will
be taken before the committee during the
