Affairs in the Senate
WASHINGTON, Jan. At begins to be
apparent that the present unsatisfactory
state of affairs in the Senate must soon be
terminated. Fifty working days will be the
life of the fifty-first Congress- Yet the first
OF the regular annual appropriation bills re-
mains to be acted upon by the Senate. The
feeling of impatience which this condition
oil public business has aroused, has gathered
strength every day Significant remarks
uttered In debate the past week by Senators
OF recognized influence, appear to have had
the effect Of bringing the Senate nearer to
change OF the programme than has held
sway since Congress met in December last.
PROPOSED CAUCUS.
a caucus of Republican Senators is to be
held, probably Monday evening, aud il is
confidently expected by mos. OF the Repub-
licau Senators that as q result of it before
the week expires q crisis will have been
reached with respect to the Elections Bill,
and the Senate will have arrived at clear
understanding of what course it is to pur-
sue for the remainder of the session. The
lines of battle are narrowing, and there is a
gathering of forces. Absent Republican
Senators have been requested to return, and
preparations are making on both sides of
the chamber for final struggle. Part of
the campaign. it is believed, will be a series

expected however, that this order will not
be made before Tuesday, as a night session
Monday would interfere with the desired
caucus.
HOUSE PROGRAMME.

an opportunity to pass measures of local in

position to defer final action on the bill as

Herman Eberhartinger, sailor of the

Then she lifted her head from her hand, and with longing eyes looked after his re- treating form until it faded out in the distance, and when she saw him no longcr she placed her hand on her heart and moaned in the deepest an- guish.
 That meeting had been sore trial for the poor girl, but she steeled her heart against itself, and with the great est effort withstood its pleadings. She felt more than once that if the inter view was prolonged she must break down and give way to her love. But she had come through itsafely and the worst was passed.
 All day she watched and waited fer Pcarson's visit, but night came on and Pearson failed to appear. Was it pos siblc, she wondered, that he had changed his mind, and that after all she would escape him? But Pearson had not changed his mind. He remained away for another and more urgent reason.
 As Paul galloped back in the direc- ton of Magic City he met Pearson on his way to Greens. Pearson recognized Paul and stopped to speak to him. He rightly guessed where Paul had been, and he knew full well from his looks what had been the result of his visit.

THE WILL EsROBATED.
Mr. Langevin Declared Capable OF
Disposing of His Property.

The hearing of testimony in the Ian
gevin will case was concluded yester-
day, and Judge Corrigan decided to adj
nit the will to probate. Nearly the
whole day was taken up by the pro-
ponents of the will. with testimony in
rebuttal, and with the arguments. T.
j. Flanagan testified that J. Le-
vasseur, who acted as secre-
tary Of Nj. I.angevin, and who
thought him of unsOund mind, had been
discharged because of incompetent
Work. the inference being that Levas-
seur was biased in judgment. L. l..
Lamprey had known Langevin for years
and believed him to be of sound mind
at the time the will was made. DIR.
Ohage treated him for cancer of the
stomach in July, 1889, but did not think
him mentally unbalanced.
AnSel Oppenheim spoke III detail of
business transactions with INN. They
had closed a deal for property worth
$4,000 on Aug. 6, few days after the
date of the will, and at that time he no.
ticed no change in his mental ability.
Desire Michaud said Mr.. Langevin
was eccentric, and spoke of working
with him all night on one occasion to
consummate real estate deal. and it
resulted in Langeyin buying property
at Red Lake Falls for S25, GOO less than
the price asked of him at first.

PECULIAR LEGISLATION.
A GrandmOtherIy Bill Denounced
by Practical Men.

There was and important meeting of
engineers and boilermakers last even
ing, at the court house, the object of
which was to discuss House File 21S. a
/ bill to amend the law rela sing to the
inspection of steam boilers. There are
provisions in this bill which are report
ed to be highly Objectionable. especially
the amendment which provides
All steam boilers constructed or sold or
brought into this state for use shall have the
, name of the manufacturer of iron or steel,
with the estimated tensile strength rolled in
the sheets or plates OF steel or iron. subject
to such rules as the board of inspectors may
direct.
This provision. by practical engineers,
sis regarded as positively absurd-in
fact there was no one last evening who
could say anything in favor of it. The
boilermakerS, who are said TO be favor
ing the passage of the bill. were sim
guIary silent respecting it. AS far as
the discussion. generally upon the bill,
the engineers had the best of the argu-
ment. The following provision was
also vigorously denounced:
Every person operating or having charge
of any steam boilers. or any person repairing
or experimenting the repairs on any steam
boilers for use in this state. shah be regis
tered by the board of inspectors and receive
acertlucate OF the same. Any person found
evadins the provisions of this section shall
be fined before any justice OF the peace the
sum of 500 or thirty days i'm Imprisonment.
The engineers were very strong in
their denunciation of this provision,
which, it was claimed, would work very
harshly. and could not but be i'm
practical if passed. A number of legis-
latorS were present, aud it is pretty Ger
tain that the bill will meet with strenu-
Gus opposition in the house. The one
opposition that it is impractical. which
clearly demonstrated, ought TO be suffi-
