Washington Nov lS.-Most OF the current gossip
about the possible reorganization OF the United
States Senate is founded upon the false assumption
that there viii be session next March. immediate
~ after the expiration Of the next regular session
of Congress which begins two weeks from to-
morrow. In fact. however. there Will not be
session OF either House until the first Monday In
December. 1895 unless the President OF the United
States should call special session-an improbable
contingency. Even If for any reason. now unfore-
seen. the President should call a special session
Of the Senate next spring or summer. and even
II the Republicans should have a clear majority
of members sufficient enable them to control the
business OF the Senate there would be no reorSah-
zation of the Offices of that body In Short there
Will be no reorganization OF the Senate earlier than
one year hence, unless the President should call an
extra session Of Congress- and there IS no llkeli-
hood Of such action on the part of Mr. Cleveland

Senate other than in years of Presidential Inaugural

RUSSIAN, THIsTLEs.

How They Were introduced i'm the North
west.
YANKToE, s. D., Oct. 10. The origin
of the Russian thistle in this country
has been talked about for several
months, but it was only recently that
the man responsible for its introduce
ton here was discovered. In 1876
Henry Schantz, a Russian farmer liv-
ing in Yankton county, imported some
flax seed from the old country, which
he planted. One thistle grew that
year In his fax field, and his neighbors
wanted him TO destroy it. He said,
mo, let it grow and see what 1t viii
amount to- From this single plant
has come the pest Of the Northwestern
farmer. There was not q thistle of any
kind In this state prior to that time, In
Russia this weed il cut when young
and packed away to feed 10 stock dur
ing the winter, and it has been sug-
.gested that n cut before the fiber be-
comes hard it could be baled and used
as fuel when dried.
