Washington's legislature Thursday
sent its congratulations to President
Mckinley. This courteous act was
performed by the passage of concur.
rent resolution, copy of which was
sent direct to the president, and he
probably received it soon after his in
auguration. The resolution was intro
duced by Senator Deckenbach, Repub-
lican, and 1t expresses the hope that
through the new administration may
come the prosperity SO necessary to the
people. The resolution follows:
Whereas, On this fourth day of
March. in the year Of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
seven, William Mckinley was inaug-
uarted president Of the United States;
therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the senate of the state
of Washington, the house cOncurring,
that we hereby join in extending to the
president our heartfelt congratulations,
and the earnest and sincere wish that
his administration may be crowned
with the blessings Of the Almighty,
and shall prove the instrument where.
by the people of the United States may
receive the prosperity so necessary to
their welfare and happiness.
''That copy of this resolution be
Immediately transmitted to the presi-
dent, signed by the president, of the sen.
ate and the speaker of the house."
The resolution passed the senate
n ,,o1ry
only few dissenting voices raised in
the house.
The senate devoted nearly all of to-
days session to the reading Of the pub
lie revenue bill and considering and
correcting amendments submitted by
the committee since the bill was intro
duced, and adjournment was effected
until Friday before final action was
taken.
In the interest Of reform" and for
the reduction of the states expenses,
the house devoted two hours to the con-
sideration Of Roberts bill to abolish
the board Of trustees, respectively, Of
the Steilacoom and of the Cheney in
sane asylums, of the school for defect
i've youth, the reform school. the SOL
diers' home and the board of directors
of the penitentiary, and to place these
institutions under one board, to be Gre
ated and to be known as the state board
of control.
The Populists gave the bill undi-
vided support and it passed with an
emergency clause.
T. J. Miller offered a concurrent res
olution for permission to introduce a
bill for the appropriation Of $40, 900. in
addition to the $50, 900 previously APP
propriated and expended, to pay the
expenses of the legislature. The Re-
publicans opposed the resolution, and
it received within one of the constitu-
tional majority, and was declare lost.
Wilson, Republican, gave notice Of .
motion to reconsider the vote.

Fire Fiend's Work.

New York, March "A remarkable
series of fires, all of mysterious origin
and strangely similar in their character
istics, spread terror through section
Of the upper East Side yesterday, and
led to the belief that daring incendi-
airy was abroad, applying his torch for
no other purpose, apparently, than the
destruction Of human life.
Five hres occurred in three hours and
all within the district between Sixty
fifth and Eighty-third streets and First
and Third avenues. All were in tene.
ment-houses, and no one could tell how
the blazes started. Four Of the fires,
the most important. occurred almost
within a stones throw of each other
in thickly populated area.
The clang Of the fire bells and the
sight of engines dashing hither and
thither through the streets naturally
created a panicky feeling among the
tenement-house jewellers, who knew
not where the fire fiend would strike
next. The firemen were exhausted by
the arduous labor exacted from them.

ed to consideration OF appropriations,
and an adjournment was taken before
the consideration of the bill was fin
ished.
Arid Lands Bill Passed the House.
The vote by which Lands bill for
issuing $1,000, 900 in bonds and war
rants to reclaim the arid lands of the
state failed to pass Saturday, was re-
considered in the house Monday, and
after a stirring debate the bill passed
with AZ affirmative votes, just two more
than the constitutional requirement..
A heated discussion arose in the
house over bill by Hansen to reduce
the salary of fish commissioner from
$4,000 to 800. A compromise Of
$1,000 was finally effected, and the bill
passed. Expenses of 81 900 additional
were added.
The house reconsidered the vote by
which Carr's bill, providing for state
wagon road joining Kittitas and Okan-
ogan counties, failed to pass Saturday,
and after a short discussion passed it.
The bill appropriates SIS, 900 for road
from the Wenatchee, along the Column
bia and Methow rivers, to the mouth of
Twisp river.
An effort was made to again bring up
the Turner railroad bill, but it failed.
Roberts bill providing for sessions Of
the state supreme court being held in
Spokane was indefinitely postponed.
The following house bills passed the
house: BY Scott, amending an act rel
alive to irrigation districts by prescrib-
ing more simple manner of issuing
bonds; Moore, regulating the leasing Of
mineral lands belonging to the state;
Koehler, appropriating $4,000 for a
state wagon road in Chehalis county;
DeMattos, providing that all rebates
allowed on taxes under provisions Of

the general county fund; Barlow, pro-
viding for preservation of q. A. r.
mementoes; DeMattos, permitting in
terested persons to sue upon certain

ty; Kincaid, appropriating $40, 900 for
state wagon road in King county;

Fourteen bills were passed BY the
legislature Wednesday and will now 20
to the governor for his approval.
Under the rule Wednesday is devoted
to consideration Of senate bills by tho
house and house bills by the senate.
The result was that the lower branch
made good Roadway, passing twelve
senate bills, while the senate became
clogged considering house bills, and
succeeded in passing only two, one be-
ing for the protection of mon working
in coal mines; the other, fixing the fss
for filing articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state. The latter bill
was aimed at mining companies, and
under its provisions it would cost $76
to incorporate company with 81, 900. :
600 nominal capital stock. This
brought out opposition from the mem
bers from the mining section, and the
bill was completely changed. AS it
passed it fixes a IS fee for filing papers
and levies and $40 as annual license on
all corporations doing business in the
state.
Bush's referendum" bill failed to
pass. though it was one of the measures
demanded in the Ellensburg platform.
Several fusion members voted against
it, as they could not agree upon per
centage of votes required to petition for
laws or to enact them over the adverse
action of the legislature, one element
desiring per cent and the other 25.
A compromise at 8 was attempted, but
failed to catch any Of the members.
The most important bills to pass the
house are the companion senate meas-
ures by Cole and Taylor. Coles bill
regulates the sale of property under
execution and fees, with nondefici-
ency judgment clause. Taylor's limits
the life Of judgment to five years and
prevents renewals of judgments.
Houghton's senate bill, granting q
bounty Of one cent pound for beet
sugar, passed with slight amendment.
Among the other bills passed are:
Warburton's, to prevent the unauthor-
lied tapping Of electric wires; Taylor,
providing for prior lien for employees
against the real or personal property of
employer, and giving such lien prece-
dence over mortgage upon such prop
erty.
The "siftings'' committee of both
houses are having an interesting time.
With only a few days remaining to
accomplish the work of the session,

Greece Massing Her Troops.

Athens, March s.-Feverish activity
continues throughout the whole coun-
try. Large quantities Of arms, ammu-
milton, provisions and military stores
are being conveyed by transports to
Thessaly. The massing Of troops on
the frontier is proceeding with the ut
most speed, and public feeling is at the
highest pitch of excitement. Those
taking the coolest view no longer con-
ceal their opinion that in the event Of
coercion the center of interest will be
transferred to the Turkish frontier,
where the most serious events may be
expected. Many foreign escorts have
already started for Thessaly. Greece
says she will not yield to the demand
of the powers to vacate Crete, even if
she has to fight all Europe.
