THE SENATE.

There were applicants for admission to the
Senate galleries long before IL o'clock, when
they were opened. In a few minutes the
old stand-bys had taken their places on the
front rows and We're preparing for their an
nual course of study I'm craftsmanship and
somnolence. There were half a hundred
ladies on hand early and they had to amuse
themselves by watching the pages as they
placed the stationery and arranged the
bouquets that began to arrive before IL
O'Clock.
The Senate chamber has taken on a rich
warm tone of old rose. now that the Garnet
has replaced the mating. There is n small
vague figure. something like a feur de lis
but the effect is pleasantly smooth. The
Vice Presidents rostrum is carpeted With
the same pattern, but OF darker tone
These carpets are very well matched to the
general effect of the dark furniture
There was remarkably little excitement or
interest shown today in the preliminary
proceedings. The edge of the Importance of
the occasion seems to have been worn off
by the very recent adjournment.
Fragrant Flowers.
Flowers began to arrive for Senators
early. There first came a large horseshoe
of roses for Senator Voorhees,. and for some
time it reposed on his desk, the only spot
of color in the dark chamber. Then there
came an open book of the same flowers for
Senator Turpie. which gave the Indiana
delegation great handicap in the floral
| race. The Vice President, however swept
the field by receiving two handsome bo-
quets, similar in shape and size and COM
position, but from different sources. One of
these was put on the desk In the chamber
and the other was put in his private ROOM
Senator Berry's desk was .ornamented with
| simple but tasteful bunch of roses and
similar tributes lay on the desks of Sena-
| tors Kyle, Allen, Pasco and Vance
few minutes before the session was
opened messenger came in laden with
two huge baskets and bunch of beautiful
| pink roses. One of the baskets, of red
pink and yellow roses, was put on the desk
! of Senator Harris, and the other. of the
same colors, on that of Senator Hansbrough. h.
The bunch of roses was laid on the desk of
| Senator Dolph. Soon there came another
| enormous basket which graced the seat
] occupied by MIR. Stewart. A tasteful ba asket
was sent to Mr.. Lodges desk and dainty
| bunch of American beauties was placed in
front of Senator Cullom's chair
| Senator Proctor caught up with the fold
| before IL o'clock, when three boquets had
| been piled on his desk 1t was Completely
covered and the pretty tributes were in
| The air soon became fragrant with the
odors from the flowers and made the at
mosphere of the Senate dangerously soft.
| The First 10 Appear.
! Senator Cameron was the first to appear
! on the floor of the Senate, but he only made
a comet-like trip from the republican cloak
room to the north lobby. Senators Hoar
and Dixon strolled in together, the youth
and age of New England, but they did not
tarry long beneath the concentrated gaze

What's Become of that Fast Boat:

No mention has been heard this
spring of the new fast passenger
packet the Diamond 10 line is going
to build ut Dubuque. This old story
has been sprung on the people all
the way between st. Louis and St.
Paul every spring for the past six or
seven wears. This is the first skason
it has missed repetition. There was
originally some foundation for it.
Diamond 10 Reynolds did do some
talking at one time to the effect that
steam boat that would make 20
miles an hour for 4 regular thing
that could be made to do business
six months in the year at large
profit. 1t was good while ago that
this remark was made, but the men,
ory of it has warmed the hearts of
the newsgathers along the river
ever year, as they desparingly com
pare the five columns of space with
the three columns of matter on dull
days, and just as often as they did
this the old fable has been dug up
and passed around again.-Quincy

| For some time past there has been
more or less complaint expressed by
taxpayers in different parts of the
county in regards to the habit that
public officers handling public funds
have lapsed into OF neglecting to
publish their annual statements as
required by law. For a time after
the passage of the act requiring them

publication is an exception rather
than the rule. hence the complaint.
For the benefit of those interested the
clause requiring these statements to

the Revised Statutes of 1891. which
reads as follows:
