He is most entertaining conversational

is always a gathering Of admirers. Every
body feels at home with him aud every
body is stuck on being In his company
When he showed M IN the house the

The governor will tomorrow sign the

The free cor ference committee on tho

for several hours today, and reports hav-
ing made some progress. The committee
expects to have It's report ready for the
printer tomorrow night, but the members
thereof are not SO sure that said report
will be unanimous all along the line. The
general impression Is that a report will
be sent in to the effect that the committee
has agreed on everything except the uni
verslty, and possibly two other itoms, and
that another committee viii have to be
appointed to further consider said items.
