Cheyenne, Wyo., jan 7.-Members of
the Fifth state legislature are coming in
rapidly, and by Tuesday morning. when
the session convenes, all will have ar
rived. This session of the Wyoming legis-
lature promises to be very interesting
not only because of the senatorial con-
test, which has already aroused great in
terest throughout the west. but also be-
cause of numerous matters which will
come up for adjustment and settlement
Among these, second to the senatorial
contest, the wolf bounty question is next
IN Importance. This is a question which
mas been agitating the citizens of this
state for many years. At every session
the matter of wolf bounty comes up and
sums or money are appropriated with
winch TO pay for the determination of
the pests. but when the next session ar
rlves the wolves are greater in numbers
imam ever before, and the cattlemen and
sheepmen, together with the horse
growers. are clamoring at the doors of
the legislature for another appropriation
Tor wolf bounty. Several delegations from
over the state Will wage a determined
ilght at this session of the legislature TO
nave large appropriation made and
enact law placing the amount of the
bounty at q figure which will insure a
complete determination of wolves on the
ranges or Wyoming.
Another important matter which will
PROBABLY come up at this session will be
the enactment of a law providing for an
SiSSIoil " Dc Helu IN 1SUU 10 decide the
permanent location of the various state
institutions, the capitol. penitentiary

general hospital. state university. etc.
The constitution provides that such an
election may be held, and as there is
considerable difference of opinion as to
where the various Institutions should be
located, it is believed the legislature will
arrange TO leave the matter to a vote of
the people.
A revision of the session laws of Wyom
ing, which was rejected by the Fourth
state legislature, will be presented at this
session.
The constitution provides that the con-
vets may be kept at the penitentiary at
Rawlins. instead of in the old government
institution at Laramie. For several years
the RawlinS and Carbon county deIega-
tions have tried 10 have the convicts
moved. but the matter has never been
definltely settled. During this session
legislation will doubtless be secured
whereby the prisoners will be moved to
the penltentiary at Rawlins which is a
new building and has not been occupied
since its completion several years ago.

a change during the past few days, and

EXTENDING GERMAN TRADE.
Subsidized Steamships Between Ger
man and Chinese Ports.


Washington, Jan. S.-The great inter
est in Asiatic commerce which other
nations as we'll as the United States
are noy feeling, is illustrated in re-
cent subsidy agreement made by the
German government with the Lloyd
steamship line, by which it proposes
to pay more than a million dollars q
year for a fifteen-year term for the es-
adjustment of steamship lines to ply
between its ports and those of Japan,
China, and Australia, and certain ports
of China, Oceanica- The steamers IN
der this contract to be built for the
China and Japanese service are to be
not less than 5000 tons, and those for
the Australian line are to be not less
than $500 tons. All the ships are to be
built in German yards, and German
material is to be used as far as posi-
bic, all admiralty requirements to be
carried out in them. putting them into
condition in which they can readily be
utilized for war purposes when neces-
Sary.
1t is also announced that "a Bremen
firm intends to establish, with steam
ers now being built for that purpose,
a steamship line on the Yang Use
Kiang in China, to ply between Shang-
hal and Hankow. By the aid of the
line, which will connect with the sub
sidized lines running from Hamburg to
Shanghai, German dealers and German
interests will be in direct communica-
ton, not only with Shanghai, which
has two-thirds of the import trade of
China, but also with Hankow, one of
the most important commercial cities
of China, and having a population of
about 100000. 1t is now being con-
nected with Pekin by railroad. Ger
man exports to Asia and Oceanica have
more than quadrupled in the decade
ended in 1896
