IN THE SENATE.
The senate had busy day and passed
a number of important measures. Sena-
tor Cunningham's joint irrigation bill
providing that the district court may in
certain emergencies fix the water rates,
was passed without opposition
Senator Wyman's mining bill, following
the Colorado law very closely, was passed
and 1t now goes to the governor

SENATORIAL VOTE.
The month has closed with no change
in the senatorial vote. Baxter and
Thomas were paired. and Heitfeid and
Hanrahan were absent. The result was:
Shoup 10, Sweet Is, Clagett 10. There is a
rumor afioat tonight that Mr.. Sweet has
secured two more of the populists. There
is no likelihood. however. of the populists
making a break. 1t is pretty well set
tied that the agricultural bill and the APP
portonment bill will go through both
houses before the senatorial deadlock is
broken. Other measures may also in
tervene, though the two named are the
important ones This view of the case
postpones the election as far as next
Tuesday. though there is nothing certain
from day to daV
