CONSIDERATION OF TAX BILL.
RESOLUTIONS WE'RE ADOPTED

QUIET FROM SENATE.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 1S.-The sen
ate went right after the blanket tax
bill when it came over from the house
Monday night, Senator Sayre moving
q suspension of the rules to refer 1t to
the committee of the whole in accord
ance with program arranged by the
opponents of the measure during the
afternoon and early evening.
Senator David opposed the motion
He wanted the bill to go to the judic.
larry and taxation committees jointly
saying that there was no reason e
refer It to the committee of the whole
unless it is to kill the bill. and he
could not see how any senator who
voted to submit the constitutional
amendment could vote for such refer.
ence.
Senator Lyon favored careful con.
sideration by the Joint committees. He
had read the bill only in part, but had
already found unconstitutional pro-
visions that would never stand the
test of the courts. He was in favor
of having the bill considered, and If
this was not to be the program, then
he urged that the bill be killed out
right and at once.
Senator Wagar also opposed send
ing to the committee of the whole.
The vote on the suspension of the
rules was as follows: Yeas-Atwood,
Baker, Brown, Collingwood, Head,
Humphrey, Latimer, Moore, Perren,
Potter, Sayre, Sheldon and Charles
Smith-13. Nays-Davis, Giddings,
Helme, Loomis, Lyon, Leidlein, Nc
Graw, Monaghan and Wagar-9.
Observation-Disclosures Flood, Graham,
McMullen, Maitland, Milliken. A. G..
Smith, Stoll, Wagner and Ward-10.
A motion to go into committee of
the whole was then carried, and Sen
ator Sayre was called to the chair, but
the reading of the bill had proceeded
only a moment when Senator Potter
raised the point of order that two
thirds vote of the senate was neces-
sary to suspend the rules, and only 10
voted on this occasion.
The force of this point was recog
nized and the committee rose.
Subsequently a motion was adopted
to indefinitely postpone consideration
Of the bill. This was adopted by a
vote of ~ ayes to 10 nays, 10 senators
being absent.
A resolution was offered and adopt
ed fixing tuesday as the time for sus-
pension of business and Thursday for
final adjournment.
The senate also, by vote of II to 5,
adopted resolution disappearing of
the governors proposed dinner and re-
fusing the use of the senate chamber
in which to hold it.

without being able to make head or
tail of the thing he whispered:
"The others will be here inside of
two days, and we will have a meeting.

nothing to alarm me. trust matters
In London are all right?"
"As far as know" replied as re-
turned his card and wondered whether
he was trying to cheek me or had real
ly mistaken me for somebody else.
"Good. We can settle all the details
In an hour after the others get here. 1t
will be as well that we are not seen to-
gether, but I will notify you when we
are ready"
When he had gone, made up my
mind that he had mistaken me for an
other man, but l could not quite catch
on to his expressions, He was evident
ly in Stockholm by appointment, and
others were to arrive LATER and Mr..
Grelling. who was probably an Eng
lishman, was mixed up In the affair, If
not the leader. The matter puzzled
and annoyed me for half an hour, and
then dismissed 1t from my mind.
Three hours later, as | retired to my
room, the stolid faced and wooden
headed waiter who carried my light
hung about in queer way after set
ting the candle down, and ! finally
gave him a small coin and waved him
out. Instead of going he whispered to
me:
II wish to warn you. Strange men
have been here for week. think
they are waiting for you"
EBut who can be looking for meT
queried in reply.
"You know best. Good night and

ears open for you"
wanted to question the man, but he
hurried away and left me more befog-
ged than before. l spent an hour try
ing to figure out some satisfactory con-
clusion and then fell asleep. Next
morning at breakfast the same man
waited on me. I had little table by
myself, and while bringing my dishes
the waiter whispered in my ear:
1.-THE two strange men are at the
fourth table. | am sure they are Rus
sian spies and will watch YOU"
Now | had the key to the mystery.
There was some sort Of conspiracy
on foot. probably against the peace Of
the car. and the conspirators were to
meet at Stockholm. From what had
read and heard of such affairs the
plans and plots generally originated In
England or Switzerland. but these men
bad selected nearer ground Their plot
must have been suspected, or the Rus

Yes. the two men were Russians, and
though their idea seemed to be to pass

spy can always be spotted offhand, but
I do assert that utter one of them has

last November, stating what he vented
to do for the 5lst and asking if they
would pass an act to reimberse him If
he could raise the money to pay the
boys transportation from California to
Iowa. In answer TO his requesta large
majority of answers came back ''yes."
Il remember seeing Ii. A. Bigelow's
letter, which was very Characteristic OF
the man. 1T read, "I will do anything
/ can to help soldier.",, Gov. Shaw
then asked the bankers of Iowa for a
loan Of 500 each 10 pay the railroad
companies. This was promptly hon
ored, the boys were brought home, and
their fare paid, amounting to $3S, 600.
Last week a bill was init oduced to re-
imberse the Governor and his hackers.
Amendment after amendment was
tackled OH, mostly to pay the transpor
alton of the other regiments, and when
the original bill was called up for final
passage it was defeated to a standstill
Members who had promised to support
the governor in his action in the mat
ter, just went back on their word. Old
WinneshIek's honorable representative
stood by his word like Gen. Thomas
lid at Cbicamauga.
The Building and Loan bill passed
the senate by vote of Al too. You
might say that was easy. Let me tell
you it was one of the hardest fought
bills that has been before either house
this winter, and it took two days from
the time it was taken up for passage
until it passed. The opponents after
the battle saw that they Were beaten
so they got in line and voted for it. 1t
will pass the House. The credit of this
bill is due to the persistent fight made
by that little queen of fighters, Mrs.
EdwOrth, the Quaker lady spoke of
in one of my former letters.

That Great Play.

In writing up the history of Augustin
Daly's famous theatre it was comment
ed upon that James A. Herne's beauti-
full play, Shore Acres, scored the long
est consecutive run ever made there.
1t was also at that playhouse that Sir
Henry Irving saw the piece, and was
so impressed with it that he offered to
produce it at the Lyceum theatre, in
London. Mr.. Herne has had other
London offers for the play, and con-
tract had been signed with Mr.. Will
liam Terriss for its production in the
British metropolis, which was annul-
led by his unfortunate death. "Shore
Acres" is spoken Of abroad as that
great American play. II will be seen
