occurred in the senate for some time was
INDUCED in during the afternoon when
II. F. No. 20, Representative McGrath's
drainage bill, came before the committee
of the whole. on general orders. The dis
cussion of the bill in committee lasted all
the afternoon, and when the committee
rose it was recommended to pass. The
report was accepted, but a motion for the
second and third readings of the bill and
a vote on it's final passage under a suspen-
sion of the rules failed to receive two
thirds vote, and instead of being finally
disposed of as the friends of the measure
fully hoped it would, the bill will be up
for further consideration on the calendar.
HOUSE-The only sensation of the
house was the report of the Ives impeach-
ment matter, which had been under con.
sideration by the house Judiciary commit
tee for several weeks. The report was not
unanimous, nine members favOring inn
parchment and eight opposing it,
Following are among the bills passed:

lands.

ton in state high schools.
To provide bounty for the arrest and
conviction of chicken and poultry thieves.

The American reflected moment.
The prince was ingenlously beating
him with his own stick. so to say. The
threat of war was probably fact; but
the secret embassy was devised as a
means Of getting rid Of him without
seeming to do so. on the other hand
he could not, after his late magnilo-
quence, decline to do his future father
in-law so ostensibly facile service.
There was but one weak point In his
highness' argument. He put his finger
on that.
"The letter which / am to take to
your ally will make me known also to
your enemy, IL he searches me. He
would treat me as a spy and I should
have no ground of complaint"
The prince smiled an oriental smile.
"You are prudent and far-seeing, Mer-

an expedient for making the affair

"All right" returned Meryon, brief
ly, and the interview ended.
