SENATOR WARNER WILL FURNISH
 INTERESTING DATA.

The senate was called to order at l2;3O o'clock by Lieutenant Governor Dewell Prayer was offered by Chap lain Thompson. Several matters were received from the house and concurrent action was taken upon all of them. Very little time was taken up by com mittee reports and the senate soon passed to the calendar. When the house joint resolution granting a pen sion to Henry Barnard was reached Senator Warner asked that it be laid over until to-day, as he had been pre- vented by business and one days ill- ness from looking up certain data con- corning the subject of the resolution which he wished to bring before the senate. He thought the senators should have this matter presented to them, however they might dispose of the resolution.
 Senator Converse said he deprecated exceedingly the action of the senator oShIIiS lOI c pOSl lpCllelliClIl OL tllC 1llhl- ter, as 1t had already gone over twice. He hoped the senator from the Nine teenth would without fail bring the matter up to-day.
 Senator Marigold, with the merry twinkle in his eyes that is seen when he is about to spring some unanswera- ble question on his sedate colleagues, arose and said: "Mr. President, what will be the consequence if the sena- tor from the Nineteenth does not bring the matter up?" The Park City states man was informed by the lieutenant governor that he was not in a position to answer the question.
