that he cOuld not do other than an
prove the bond presented on behalf of

Surety Co e, of New York. The COVER
nor had given the solvency of the
American Surety Co serious considera-
tion and had secured evidence with re-
lation to it. He said that he could not
DOUBT the solvency of the company.
Since the law made it incumbent upon

would approve it.
The proclamation approving the bond

governor notified the citizens of Sedalia
and Jefferson City to call upon him
and see the proclamation before its

the representatives of the rival cities
were present the governor in sugges-
tive manner declared that different
friends of his, men in whose Judgment
he had great confidence, entertained
various views with relation to the bond
and with reference to its worth as

decided views upon that point that if
the people of Sedalia should fail to
build the buildings, to purchase the

as provided in the amendment to the
constitution of the state of Missouri he
was of the opinion that a Judgment
secured in the courts upon this bond
would have only a nominal value. He
doubted whether it would be capable
of enforcement.

San Sose Scab.

One of the pests most destructive to
scab. The state of California spends
millions of dollars in seeking to rid
this important industry from the
plague that has fastened upon its fruit
trees. 1t has been charged that the
fruit trees of Missouri are infected and
this report has injured the business of
our nurseries to an extent generally un
appreciated. We have three of the
largest nurseries in the United States,
all doing large business outside of
Missouri 1t will be gratifying to the
public to learn that recent investiga-
tions conducted by the state experiment
tai station have proven this charge to
be without foundation. Prof j. NJ
Stedman, the entomologist of the state
agricultural department, has visited
every section of the state and his re-
port shows that the San Jose scab was
found in only one locality and on six
trees. These had been shipped in from
a New Jersey nursery Prof Stedman
is confident that there is absolutely no
ground for the charge that our Mis-
souri, nurseries have this insect. These
nurseries are cooperating with the ex-
pertinent station to prevent the intro
duction of the disease. The report also
shows that many of the eastern states
are threatened with this disease and
these are spending large sums of money

early adjournment Of the senate today was
taken advantage of by some OF the demo

ley 70 be pursued In the senate by the
party during the present session. SsnA-
tors German. Jones Of Arkansas Harris,
cockrell and Walthail remained through
the meeting, and Senators Brice and

Among other questions under considera-

WINGED the republicans Will make every ef-
fort to secure a majority Of the senate
through tine elections In the various state
legislatures this winter. Dnt at today'E
meeting the sentiment was that the reoub-
iicans could not win In enough states to in
sure a majority in the senate.
II was announced as a result of the con-
ference That the democrats had nothing in
view SO far ar the party was concerned.
There will be no caucus called at present
and probably not during the session unIess
some exigencies arise which will make IL
necessary. The opinion was general that
nothing could be done at this session ex-
ceDt 20 pass the appropriation bill. AS to
taking up the DingIey bill. the democrats
Ill vote az they individually may deter
mine. No obstructive tactics Will be EN-
ployed against the ball. but the whole dem
ccratic party undoubtedly would resist liz
passage by votes and by such amend
nents as could be addes 10 the measure.
II Was generally understood that parry
lines would not be drawn tightly during
the present session.
