2 L LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Senate continues to- meet, abuse Gov Bulkeley and perhaps refuse to recognize the Executive Secretary and then adjourn. This is the program first established, and Is carried out with very little variation each day.
 The disadvantage which this action of the Senate is causing the state growA more apparent each week. No appro priatious can be made. A large num- Der of towns were late in sending il. their orders for school money and in consequence received none. The House continues to transact business, but thls amounts to no more than did the action of the Senate in declaring the Democrat ic ticket elected.
 Gov Hill again refused to recognizs. another application of Gov Bulkeley's for rrqnisition papers, this time for horse thief. The only redeeming feature of the trouble is, that New York state is drawing for protection some of ou, worst characters, as the following clip ping. from the Press illustrates.
 elf Governor Bukeley should insist
 On sending convicts here, 'tis plain
 'Twouid swell the Tammany voting list,
 We therefore beg him to refraiu.''

NEWS FROM ALBANY.
The Senate Fight Over Rule Three still
 in Progress.

I00 senate c1SnC OVoT nu1o AnIeO SSAAA
 in Progress.
 ALBANY, March 9-The legislature will reassemble tonight at S:3O o'clock.
 . In the assembly the routine business will go on and there will be nothing of very general interest occurring. In the senate, however, there will be no business transacted, the first order after the prayer being the fight over rule 3, it having been made the pending question for Monday night immediately after the reading of the journal The senate has done no business since last Wednesday morning. and is not likely to do any this week.
 There are over seventy-five assembly bills lying on the desk awaiting disposal, and large number of senate bills on third reading. The Republicans say that they will sit until July to obtain the passage of Senator Sloane's resolution, which prac tically forbids the lieutenant governor to place Democrat in the chair during his temporary absence. The Democrats smile and say they will sit also, but will not allow that amendment to pass
 The governorship is now the mooted question. Gossip is to the effect that Con- gressman James Wadsworth, of Genesee, for governor and Howard Carroll, of New York, for lieutenant governor are the fla vorites for next falls nominations on the Republican ticket. Judge Alton G. Par ker, of the court of appeals, is spoken of as Governor Hills successor. Judge Par ker, as is we'll known, is very close to the governor. Roswell P. Flower for gov ernor and William F. Sheehan for lieuten- ant governor is another ticket named.

Chronic Rain.

Young men who ape English man. ners and customs are reviled daily by newspaper wits. One of them is even represented as carrying an umbrella on a fair day, because it's raining in Lon- don, doncher know!' An equally log. ical reason is ascribed to the artist Fusei :..
 > One of his peculiarities was that of carrying a large gingham umbrella of a conspicuous color, generally red, whether the weather were fine or not. One day friend met him bearing his usual burden, and called to him:
 ''Halloa, Fuselil What do you want that old umbrella for this fine dayq'
 What do I want it for2'' answered he. "Oh, I'm going to see Constable. :"

Raising Sand by Suction.

An improved process for raising sand has been patented in England. A barge is used, having tank to receive drainage or overflow of water there
 from. A pulsometer or other pump is furnished with a suction pipe-part rigid and part flexible-to reach to the bed or bank of sand, which is drawn through it and deposited in the tank. Around the mouth of the suction pipe are placed a number of hollow prongs. suitably connected with another pump. Through these prongs jets of water from the water hole of the barge are forced, and the sand thus loosened is readily taken up by the suction pipe. - New York Telegram.
