There was an act passed In the House

!. IL. Gates Macamoose Company. This
is peculiar title, a. the company IL q
simple drug firm Incorporated mainly
for the manufacture of Macamoose,
which Is supposed To be a sort OF
patent medicine.
This Is what Mr.. Richards says the
bill Is, and he's chairman OF the commit
tee which had the bill in charge. But
little story was told on tho floor OF the
House last night, which gives another
meaning to the word Macamoose.
IT'S said that Macamoose Is bird
larger than goose, but that the Hon.
George " Massey Is the only man in
Delaware who ever went out to shoot
one, sand he did It on "AIacamoose"
day, years ugo, when he was boy.
Well, the Five Commissioners hill

fere Tuesday or Wednesday. II is GER
tain the bill will not, however come up
before that time for Senator Rose, who
has 1t In charge says thnt out at eour- :
tesy to Senator Filling he will not
allow IL.
The Factory bill was recommitted

| MIR. Higgins made an earnest plea
for the bills. He held that the world
was moving and Delaware must move
whit; the bill was in the interest OF
humanity.
Mr.. Hickman thought that the bill
needed further ventilation. 1t created
another Office In the first place. This
| we did not want. There were already
n slificiency OF oiilcos. He moved
that the bill he recominitted.
Mr.. Cranston seconded the motion.
He had several amendments he wished
to offer to 1t.
needed in either Kent or Sussex. IL
New Castle wanted it he was willing To
vote for it. lie wished to give the New
Castle members what they wanted.
Mr.. Smith, who always has his eycs
open. got in ten strike just here on
Mr.. Jackson. am glad that the gem
tleman believes the New Castle MEM
bGrs know just what their county
wants, sai1 he, and hope he will re-
member it on any. other occasion TINT
may arise. The bill was rocommitted.
The Senate eoncurred in the House
resolution to provide for a Topographic
cal survey OF the State this afternoon,
but they had discussion on it before
coucurring.
Senators Hall, McMullin and Will
liams opposed it, senator McMullin
making an earnest speech against 1t.
We will simply get map of tho State
said he, or several maps OF localities,
ard for this we pay $4,000, Then this
work is all TODD overagain, II good
system of drainage is devised l will
vote for II, but cannot vote for this
bill. Senator Hall was of tho same
opinion. The people in the various
localities know just what they wanted
in the drainage line and how to drain.
IL was the means that was lacking.
The drawing OF these maps would not
aid them.
Senator Williams also entered pro-
test against tina re solution.
| On the vote, Senators Ross. Houe-
ton, Richardson, Filling and Speaker
Donahoe voted aye, and Senators
Moore, McMullin. Hall and Williams
nay.
There was strong petition from Che
Farmers Alliance here presented
yesterday by Mr. Eisenbrey asking
FOR the passage of ballot law and
an equalization OF taxation law.
The new registration law fer VIII
mington came in yesterday. 1t sim
ply applies to tho general elections md
briefly divides the city into districts of
800 votes each. The Governor is to
appoint three commissioners who are
to constitute Board of Election and
Registration, but two of them arc to
belong to one political party. These
arc to appoint inspectors not over
three for each precinct-to make up In
the same way. The rest OF the ma
chlnery is to be like tho municipal
law.
A peculiar thing happened to the bill
appointing notary for the Exchange
building, 1t was drawn to read-'His
duties shall not be confined to the
building, ETC.. When the enrolled
copy came In to be examined, there
was blot in the original bill over the
word "bill' and of course tho change
was observable as tho, mot docs not
appear in the enrolled bill. The bill
was lost on Tuesday night and hunted
for everywhere, but IL could not be
found. II suddenly turned up yester-
day morning, when a substitute was
about being prepared.
The least said just now about 1t the
soonest mended, but day is coming
when the detailed history OF that bill
will make very interesting reading and
that day will come.
Il Yesterday afternoon John Craig.
Republican, was appointed notary for.
the buildings. The Governor madeup
his mind to appoint him Governor
