MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
sixty one Bus introduced In the House
In Ono -iIection Reform.

in ono Day-flection Reform.
JEFFERSON CRY. Mo, Jan. Yes
terday the house kept up its record
by introducing sixty-onc measures
Few were OF any Importance, the ma
jority being local measures Mr.
Short Of Cole wants 20 establish a
state board Of pharmacy, and Mr..
Atkins, to prevent life insurance
companies from taking risks on chill
dren under II years OF age.
Mr.. Tatum introduced an election
bill, providing for the appointment Of
a board Of election commissioners in
cities of the first and second class,
not more than two Of them TO be of
one political faith They snail have
absolute charge Of elections and all
90 be appointed by the county court,
except in ST. Louis, where they are TO
be appointed by the circuit court
Under the bill, cities are divided into
election districts Of not over 800 voters
each.
The bill is very comprehens i've,
contains 10000 words, and a report
circulated that IL comes from Filley's
hands gave to il an intense interest
in the legislative mind. The one
great objection heard against the
b n IS that it is too comprehensive
anu probably too complex.
In the senate, upon invitation of
senator Baskett, the invitation Of the
people of Columbia that the senate in
a body visit the state university was
accepted.
Senator Landrum offered Joint
and concurrent resolution that the
attorney general be required to give
an opinion as 90 whether members Of
the general assembly, as has been
the custom, are entitled TO pay for
Sunday.
senator Geater introduced a bill
providing that not more than five of
the nine curators of the state uni
versity be of the same polit ical party.

SO Declares senator Vest About Cur
renoy Bnl Passing the senate.
WAsHINGroN, Jan. 0.-Senator Vest
is not optimistic as to the chances of
financial legislation by this congress.
Asked about the story published in
some of the morning papers that a
compromise bill had been agreed
upon in the senate, he said: 1t is
all rot. / suppose you mean the stuff
about financial measure to
be offered in the senate
by certain Democratic senators.
There is nothing in it, Furthermore,
i'm my opinion there is no possibility
Of passing any financial bill in the
senate. We have no rules, and five
senators can prevent action on any
bill during the session. The only
hope for prompt and efficient action
was in the Democratic party, and we
failed at the outset Of the session.
Instead of changing the senate rules
so as to provide for stopping debate
and then resolutcly taking up the
tariff bills from the house, the Demo
cratic caucus OF the senate deliberate
ly refused TO do anything of the kind.
"As matters are now IN the senate
nothing will be done except by unan-
imous consent. II the yeas and nays
could be called on taking off the diff
ferential duties of one-teuth and one
eighth on sugar, the majority would
be for the removal"

the number exceeded 100000 per
