The senate was called to order at 1890
o'clock yesterday by Lieutenant Cover
nor Dewell. Prayer was offered by
Chaplain Thompson.
The house sent to the senate reso-
luton instructing the committee on
Joint rules to report rules for procedure
necessary under the specific appropria-
ton law.
Senator Converse said there was a
question whether under the present
rules appropriations from other com
mittees should be passed without refer
ence to the committee on appropria-
lions.
The senate concurred in the resolu-
ton.
The bill providing that the elector
may strike out the printed word mo
or yes on the ballot and write it
therein was tabled on motion of Sena-
tor Herman. 1t was reported favora-
bly, by the committee on temperance.
Senate resolution incorporating the
Hartford and Torrington Tramway
company, WIN auIHOTlLy 10 Duliu lloili
Torrington to connection in Farming

passed. The capital stock may be from
100000 to 100000.
House bill providing that there shall
be a punishment for the theft of cleo
tricity, or for using the same for pur-
poses other than those specified, was
passed.
Senator Herman provoked an audible
smile when he objected to the passage
of the bill prohibiting the killing OF
rabbits and squirrels. 1t was a house
bill and the senator did not base his OBJ
jections on the antipathy he felt to-
ward the subjects of the measure, but
to the fact that the bill specified that
gunpowder should not be used in the
killing. The bill allowed the use of a
gun. He thought the bill should GER
tainly be rejected.
Senator Lewis explained that the only
merit that the committee discovered
was that it might lessen the number
of woodland fires.
Senator Woodruff argued that the bill
had merits and that squirrels should

Madrid: AT meeting of the Spanish
cabinet it was decided to demand an
explanation from Gen. Weyler of the
remarks he made in his farewell adj
dress on leaving Havana, andif he con-
firms the press reports he will be court
martialed. The words attributed to
Gen. Weyler are, in part, as follows:

sibilities did not surprise me. had ex-
pected il from the death of Senior Can
ovas, not believing that any political
leader would be strong enough to sus-
tain me when the United States and
the rebels were together constantly
demanding that Spain should come to
a settlement"
Havana: The steamer Monserrat, on
which Gen. Weyler sailed for Spain,
reached Gibara on the north west coast
of Cuba with her engines disabled, and
may be compelled to return to Havana,
in which case it is likely that there
will be interesting developments.

An Aerial Battleship for Cuba.

Lieut.. Kungel, an ex-officer of the
German army who lives in Hobolxen,
n. Y, thinks he has invented sue
cessful air battleship. The affair is a
combination of balloon, flying ma
chine, steam locomotive and bomb
thrower. 1t has the power TO raise
itself from the ground, and is so con-
structed that after raising up it can be
lowered again by the action of the en-
gines without allowing the gas to es-
cape. Every part of the ship is com
posed of aluminium. Should the ship
drop into the sea it would float. The
inventor believes that the ship which
he has constructed would free Cuba in
the space of week. He would use it
to drop bombs in the midst of Spanish
strongholds and on Spanish warships.

IT'S A BIG SUCCESS.
The Sugar Beet Growing Experiment
in the United States.

The Sugar Beet Growing Experiment,
in the United States.
The report of the secretary of agri-
culture is unusually important this
year because of the efforts Secre tary
Wilson has been making TO increase
the exports of agricultural products
and still further stimulate the cultiva-
tion of sugar beets. He has firm con
viction that the people of the United
States can provide their own sugar,
without being dependent upon Cuba or
any foreign country for their supplies.
The production of cane sugar must al
ways be limited but the capacity of
the United States for the production
of beet sugar is practically unlimited;
and with the object of ascertaining the
most favorable localities for its growth
Secretary Wilson distributed seven tons
of imported sugar-beet seeds among
$4,000 farmers in 81 states. The re.
turns have been far beyond his most
sanguine expectations, and to his graf
ification the most favorable results
have been obtained from those sections
of the United States where new indus.
tries were demanded for the farmer
and where the manufacture of beets
into sugar can be accomplished with
the greatest economy as TO labor and
transportation.

An Important Decision.

The last legislature changed the
time for selling lands delinquent for
taxes, from the first Monday in May to
the first Tuesday in December, and re-
enacted the old law providing that the
sale shall continue from day to day
until SO much of each parcel shall be
sold as shall be sufficient to pay the
amount due. In engrossing the bill
the clerk inserted the word mot, ("
thus making it read that the sale
shall not continue" from day to day,
etc. In this shape the bill was APP
proved Atty. Gen. Maynard has filed
an opinion in which he holds that the
word mot" is to be disregarded, as re-
pugnant to the clear and unmistakable
intent Of the legislature.

The situation between Great Britain

territory belonging to the United
Kingdom at all hazards, and has adj
