BAY STATE LEGISLATURE.
A Batch of Interesting HearIngs-Bien'
NAL Elections Up Again.

BOSTON, Feb. 1S.-There was an inter.
esting hearing before the committee Oh
counties yesterday relative to the proposed
new courthouse at Worcester. Not only
was al apparently lax state of things
shown up in Worcester, but the hearing
had a wider application than that county
alone, inasmuch as IL illustrated how
county affairs are or can be conducted
under present conditions. Another hear
ipg was the continued hearing before N.
committee on public health on the bill2
regulate the practice Of pharmacy. The
other hearings were OF less Importance.
In the house an adverse report was re-
ceived on the petition that the new bridge
TO Charlestown shall go over the railroad
tracks and not cross at grade, and the
committee on ways and means reported
the bill for the expense OF the state board
OF education, emitting the appropriation
for state agents, in regard to which there
is likely TO be a lively discussion because
of the charge that some Of the agents have
made text books that have been adopted
In the schools, the imputation being that
these agents have had nm understanding
with publishers for their mutual advan'
tage.
The committee on insurance were pre-
pared to give u hearing on the bill to au'
thorize the insurance commissioner at any
time TO suspend from doing business In
this state any insurance company char
tered in any foreign state, which state at
the time prohibits or unduly restraints
from doing business within its limits any
insurance company chartered in the United
States. There were several parties ready
80 address the committee in remonstrance,
but no one appeared TO support or advo-
cate the measure, and the hearing wa
closed.
The greater part of the afternoon In the
house was given to debate of the proposed
amendment Of the constitution for bien.
NAL elections. The question on agree.
nent will ho tokcn.t this afternoon.

LONDON. Feb. ia Washington dis
patch to The Times, commenting upon the
newspaper suggestion that Great Britain
should appoint a commission oil It's own
TO examine into and report upon tho
Guiana boundary, asserts that the Wash
tngton government would propose n plan,
IL there were reason to believe that 10
would be accepted by England, TO create n
new commission OF I'VE Engiishmen and
two Americans. not TO fix the boundary, but
to ascertain the facts and report to their
governments. II they should fail TO agree,
a fifth member could be appointed by tho
President OF the Swiss Republic, or some
other acceptable parsonage, the findings OF
the commission to be binding and to serve
as n basis for subsequent direct nego-
tiations to fix the boundary.
An editorial in The Times dwells on the
Importance of the foregoing, and says:
The plan In many Of its features Is such
as England can honorably accept, and
offers excellent prospects OF an ultimate
agreement. Lord Salisbury has already
limited at something Of the kind, and 10
may be assumed that on the main ques.
ton OF procedure the two governments
have agreed. Happily, parliament has
given the ministers a free hand.
