JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 25.-The
Thirty-sixth general assembly passed
l67 bills and five resolutions, of which
forty-seven bills and two resolutions
have been signed by the governor. The
bulk of the legislation lies upon his
desk. and he has thirty days time after
adjournment to examine the various
measures and express his approval or
disaPpr"val The governor is at
work to-day upon the big pile of bills
before him. The appropriation bills
being the most important are the first
under consideration, and he will get
through with these and sign them by
tomorrow night. 4 few of the senators
and members are yet in the city, and
nearly all of them to-day expressed the
wish that the governor, in calling the
special session. designate January next
instead of October. The feeling is also
prevalent that he should include a num-
ber of subjects for legislation in the
call besides redistricting the congress
sional and judicial circuits, and the most
important of these is the matter of call
ing convention to construct a new
constitution

PLEASED WITH The PLki!.

keison Morris, the Chicago Packer. Is
Pleased with the New i:est Inspection
Law, and MAKES Application for an in
spesSion-He will heartily Cooperate in
Having it Fully Carried Out. Believing
the Result will Rebound to the benefit
Of Our Meat Trade.
WASHINGTON. March 30.--An applica-
ton was received by Secretary Rusk,
yesterday. from Nelson Morris, Of Chi
cago, for inspection under the law Of
March 4. 1891, of hogs and hog products
designed by him for export abroad
The regulations for such inspection are
already drawn up so far as necessary
for compliance with the requirements
of the law. In some details these reg
ulations may be modIfiel as experience
indicates TO be necessary SO as to mini
mize as much as possible any ineoa-
venience or expense entailed upon the
trade, keeping in view, however. the
secretary's determination to carry out
to the full the powers given him under
the law to secure such an inspection as
will absolutely forbid on the part of
any foreign government suspicion or
accusation regarding the healthfulness
of.our animal food products.
So far as Mr.. Morris is concerned he
expresses the utmost confidence in th,
good results of the law and every will
ingness to cooperate in fully carrying It
out Referring to this law and to that
which provides for the regulation by
the secretary of agriculture of the con-
dition of cattle-carrying vessels. he de-
clares his conviction that these laws
will help the farming and eattle-raising
interests beyond anything now possible
to. estimate. Foreign countries. he
says, will not take our animal products
for human food without inspection, and
he is persuaded that by these two bills
becoming law millions will be saved to
this country. He believes another result
will be, by securing a foreign
export demand as an escape valve for
our export products, to greatly mini
mize gambling in hog products. hereto
fore so prevalent. As to the cattle-car-
rying vessel inspection bill, he gives it
as his experience as one of the largest
cattle-shippers in this county, that
heretofore the captain of the vessel has
been absolute master on the ocean with
the result that the poor dumb beasts
have been liable to i'll treatment. an
evil which will be fully remedied under
the provisions of the bill in question.
He adds that whereas he is now killing
$500 hogs per day and hopes to soon
increase that number to 5000, he would
not have killed any had not the in
spection bill become law.
