SPECIAL SESSION DoINos.

The extraordinary session of the leg
islature convened on the morning of
the 18th. There were no railroad lob
byists present on the opening day and
little time was lost in settling down to
business. There were the usual relig-
ious exercises in the opening of both
houses, and at noon Lieut.. Gov. Robl-
son merely told the senate that the
governors call would tell them why
they were there. In the house Speaker
Adams made a formal address. When
the house convened in the afternoon
Rep. Burch, of Detroit, offered reso-
luton instructing the clerk of the
house to notify the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ingham county and the members
of the grand jury now in session in that
county, that the members of the house
waive all claims of privilege in the SER
vice of any process that might issue
from the said grand jury. The resolu-
ton was adopted without a dissenting
vote. After the reading of the COVER
nor's message by himself, a joint reso-
luton was introduced by Rep. Wayne,
of Midland, under which it is proposed
to amend the constitution so as to com
pei railroads and other corporations to
pay an equal proportion of the states

MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
Doings of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING,
The November Report of the Deaths In
Our State Shows a Total of 1850
The Death Rate was 1879 Per
1000 Estimated Population.
Our State ROBBED of $4,000.

, Developments of most startling ma
ture have come out in connection with
the grand jury's investigation of the
affairs of the state military board, and
indictments against at least seven II
not 10 of the men most prominently
identified with the work of equipping
and sending Michigan's troops to the
front, arc. sure to be returned.
The trouble with the Legislative in
vestigation last season seems to have
been failure to secure any positive
evidence that any one man or party OF
men, in conclusion or otherwise, added
to his or their earthly possession at the
expense of the state as a whole, al
though there were all kinds of rumors
that Michigan was MIXED right and
left in the purchase of supplies and
subsistence for it's soldiers.
From the evidence now in hand it APP
pears that on July II the military
board held a meeting at which it was
decided to sell large part of the state
stores, valued at thousands of dollars.
A few days later a deal was fixed and the
supplies, mostly clothing were boxed
and shipped TO the Illinois Supply Co..
at Chicago. There the goods were re-
ceipted for in the name of the supply
company by Addison c. Cobb, former
Kalamazoo man, who was then and is
now a clerk at the Ocean Beach hotel.
Without being unpacked, the goods
were promptly reshipped to the Hen
derson-Ames Co., at Kalamazoo. The
price paid the state for this big ship
ment 10y the Illinois Supply company
which is in reality the Henderson-Ame'
company, was Sl0,500.
The grand jury has proof that al
Kalamazoo the clothing was unpaclSeo
and with four women hired for the pur
pose, the original makers tags were
cut off and Henderson-Ames tags sewec
on. Then the goods were repacked ano
resold 20 the state by the Henderson
Ames people for So 900, a cold dizzy o
just S.51 900, which it is charged wen
into the pockets of the private individ
uals mixed up in the deal.

TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

At London when the army corps first
went out to Africa Gen Gatacre was
generally regarded in military circles
as the strongest of the three division
commanders Gen Methuen was called
the the ideal guardsman and tacticlan
of the parade ground Gen Clery was
known as the schoolmaster in strategy.
owing to his connection with the staff
college and with manuals on military
science, and also as the best dressed
officer in the army and the most pcru'

two have had an opportunity to show
their ability. and Gen. Clery's turn Will

were severe. The Beers followed their
usual custom of appearing uneXp ,ctedly
and opened heavy fire at close range

pelling them to withdraw and leave
their artillery behind.
! Gen. Gatacre has been heard from,
and he shoulders the British loss at
Stromberg Junction himself, saying
| that it was an error on his part, which
frees his guides from the charges of
perfidy. He says that he underesti-
mated the distance to Stromberg.
There are current rumors in high
circles that Lord Salisbury, Sir Mich

the cabinet are now angry with Mr.
Chamberlain for not warning them oi
the magnitude of what was before the

Whitman Defeats q. of I.

, Whitman Defeats U. of I.
The second game of the inter
collegiate series of football was
played at Moscow last Saturday
between the husky representatives
of Whitman College and the Uni
versity Of Idaho. Whitman final
ly won by plucky uphill fighting,
at the end of the game the score be,
ing w. c., 16.-U. of l., 6. The
entire first half was bitterly con-
tested by both sides, but the super
Tor weight of the Moscow team was
more than Whitman could with
stand and her men were slowly but
surely pushed back over their goal
line. Horton of the L. of l. made
touchdown and kicked a neat
goal An idea of the fierce playing
at this stage of the game may be
given from the fact that for eight
successive downs Moscow hammer
ed the Whitman line, making
small gains of /, 2 and 3 yards
finally losing it on down, when
within but one yard from the covet-
ed goal. Whitman, however,
fumbled few moments later and
the U. of |. boys, by supreme eff
fort, went over the line. All dur
ing the first and early part of the
second half the odds were in favor
of Moscow as her attacks
were fierce and we'll sustained but
an unlucky tumble gave the ball to
their opponents, at the critical
moment, who by series Of round
end plays made a touch down.
After this the Whitman team was
invincible and u. of /. could dc
nothing with them. Twice more
the former rushed the pigskin
across the gridiron for touch downs
| and were again rapidly approach
, ing to U. of |. goal when the game
was called. .Whitman's victory
was due to the fine condition of her
team, which enabled them to stand
up against the savage smashing Of

ing put out of the game. Their in.
