MISSOURI LAWMAKERS.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Feb 2.-Today
the house adopted resolution declaring
that it had entire confidence in Senator
George G. Vest and in his course in the
senate. The house now stands in the
ridiculous attitude of having indOrsed
Senator Cockrell and Congressman Hatch
for favoripg the anti-option bill and Sena-
tor Vest for opposing it.
The house committee on internal i'm
provements having today reported ad-
versely the bill to fix passenger rates at 2
cents per mile, the railroad lobby feels
satisfied that nothing will be done. The
pending freight rate bills will also prob
ably be reported unfavorably, so that any
railroad legislation of Importance Is not
likely to be enacted at this session.
The senate this morning killed a great
many bills. Among them was one to give
jures the right to change the penalty in
murder cases from hanging to life i'm
prisonment.

Mr.. Peery-It cannot be under the rules.
| Mr.. Beatty-I wish to know whether
there is any such rule. The parliamentary
| ians seems to know such rule.
| Mr.. Peery-We had such rule, but the
parliamentarians claims that there was no
| necessity for engrossing the bill.
Mr.. Ormsbse-The object of engrossing
is this: The gentleman from Oklahoma
stated today that two bills had been alb
stracted from his desk. and that he did
not wish it TO occur with this one.
Mr.. Cunningham-The gentleman from
Oklahoma has declared in dulcet tones
that the parliamentarians of this house
adopted these rules. The gentleman him
self was active in preparing the rules to
suit himself. The bill should be en-
crossed before 1t is placed upon its tnal
passage.
TIE bill was ordered engrossed
The house considered house bill No. "a
(revenue) in committee of the whole. The
bill is Of the same nature as the last bill,
except that it includes all real and per-
sonal property.
Mr. Merrick wished to know what the
bill would accomplish.
Mr. Orms bee-The amendment Injected
into the bill is And in the case of ami
mails, the statement should include the
average number and value of each class
owned and controlled during the preced-
Jag year" Mycounty( Beaver is surround
ed by Kansas and Colorado on the north,
New Mexico on the west, Texas on the
south and the Cherokee strip on
the east People living in these
states use the pastures. but about
the middle of December they re-
move their cattle, before the assessor
comes around. They are barnacles upon
our territory and defraud it of its revenue.
We must hold them up and make them
pay it. 1t is the only way you can get any
thing out Of them.
Mr.. Farris thought that man should
not be taxed in two places.
Mr.. Pfaff was friendly to the bill, hut
feared that, in some way, the cattleman
would be worsted. He thought it a good
method of arriving at just average.
Mr.. Johnston-This bill was drafted, as
stated, to meet special emergercy-to
catch these cattle barons, and its object is
TO make them pay taxes.
Mr.. Stoyall heartily indorsed the bill and
believed that it should pass.
Mr.. Brennan was willing for it TO pass
Mr.. Clardy was in favor of the bill as it
stands. Some people in his county had
1000 or 5000 head of cattle, but evaded
the taxes by driving across into the Chero-
kee strip. He wished the bill to pass.
The bill was ordered engrossed.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.

LONDON, Feb. 2-In the commons today
Mr.. Johnston asked the government who
was to be appointed poet laureate. Mr..
Gladstone curtly replied that he had no
intention of advising the queen to appoint
a successor to Lord TennysOn.
Mr.. Haworth, Conservative, attempted
to draw from MIR. Asquith, home secretary,
the reasons for the release from prison of
the dyuamiter Egnn. Mr.. Asquith elected
cheers from the Irish members by stating
that Egan was released under the ordinary
license of the penal seryitude act, There
being no special condition attached to the
release, there was no necessity Ior making
a report TO the house.
Arthur O'CounOr, an Parnellite,
inquired whether Mr.. Morley, chief secre.
tary for Ireland, was preparing q measurs
providing for temporary readjustment
of judicial rents in Ireland. Mr. Morley
replied that he had not prepared such Il
bill, but refused to say whether or not he
would support one Were it introduced.
Joseph Chamberlain charged the govern
ment with shiftv evasion, in retraIning
from giving any declaration on the points
in dispute aud said that he felt certain
that there would be Il rupture among the
home rulers over the bill. He hoped hat
the government would now declare
whether il was prepared to maintain the
supremacy of the imperial parliament in
the act, or whe, her it was about TO sur
reuder to the forces of disloyalty and dis
order.
Mr. Morley described Mr.. Chamberlain's
utterAuces rs mischi=vous and malicious.
and exhorted the opposition not to commit
the crime of wishing aud working Tor the
failure OF the governments policy towards
Ireland.
Lord Londonderry, Conservative, resum-
ing his address in the lords declared that
the men of Ulster were ready TO fight 10 the
last ditch the proposed Dublin parliament
They would shed blood rather than allow
an impairment OF the constitution to
which Ulster owed its present prosperity,
and be could find only words OF commend
alton for their devotion 10 the best inter
ests of the empire.
Lord Hersche, asked the house OF lords
