A NEW DEAL.
MichiGan's Legislature to he Called in
special Session Next Month.

LANSING. Mich. July 3o.-Gov. Winans
has definitely determined to call n special
session Of the legislature to redistrict the
state into senatorial and representative
districts owing to the supreme court de-
cision declaring the acts OF 1885 and 1891 in
valid. Aug. . will probably be the day.
The governor finds that the popula-
ton of the state has SO increased
during the last ten years that the re-
distributing act OF 1881 if again made oper-
alive, would present much greater Unequal
1855 and 1891. The question of calling q
special election in districts made
vacant by resignation is puz-
zling one. 1t does not seem to
be the proper thing to call these elections
under the redislricting act o 1855, which
the supreme court pronounced unconstitu-
tiona and to call them under the act of
1881 will give to some counties two sena-
tors, while at least one will be left without
any at all.
