LITTLE ROCK Jan. %.
The session of the 33d General AS
sembIy has barely gotten into working
condition, but even thus far 1t has not been
without interest. The speakership fight
has been one of the sure things Of the
session for the past sixty days, and the
gentleman from Washington, Mr..
Humphries, merely had to go through the
motions of foretlosing his "einch." He
is splendid young gentleman, possess
ing every qualification of model presld-
ing officer
The president of the senate, Hon. R. J.
Wilson, an old-timer in the legislature, is
also a resident of Washington county.
On the principle that the great honors
should be distributed, the selection OF a
speaker and a president of the senate
flom the same county looks a little I'M
fair, but the best judgment, or at least,
the judgment, of the majority saw fit to
select them, and no one viii object if their
positions are used for the public benefit.
These gentlemen came from section of
the state that Is particularly close to the
pie counter. North Arkansas is "ot 1t. j"
In fact, that section of the state appears
to be IT.
In addition to the president OF the senate
and speaker of the house, they landed an
assistant secretary of the senate, clerk
of the judiciary committee (senatel and in
the house journal clerk and assistant ,
the chaplin, a janitor, enrolling clerk and
a half dozen other positions of less inn

THE GOVERNORS.
Hon. Dan w. Jones, the retiring gov
ernor, delivered a splendid message to the
joint assembly last Friday. II was full of
suggestions which, if acted upon by the
legislature, will result in the accomplish
ment of much good. 1t made your cor
respondent feel that Dan was entitled to
pardon for any real or imaginary short.
eomings while governor.
The inaugural message OF Hon. jeff
Davis pleased his friendS and furnished
an unpleasant surprise to his enemies. 1t
was carefully prepared document, which
blazed the way TOR future legislation upon
all important subjects Of interest to the
people of the state. His suggestion as to
an antitrust law were right to the point,
and if formulated into law, will save the
supreme court the trouble of even guessing
at fits meaning. Allquestions touched up
on in the message were treated in con
sentative and statesmanllke manner, and
the whole was a revelation of the charac'

THE CHAPLAIN.

Rev F. R Noe is wise in his generation.
He is thorough student of character, and
sizes the house up as being largely com
posed of members who are partial to
short prayers" Brother Noe is one of the
noble army of martyrs who has been
trying to exc out an existence on an Ozark
circuit, and no one ever heard him COM
plain. There is no need to say more OF
him, other than that he is an excellent
Christian gentleman.

FIRST BILLS.


The first bill introduced in either branch
of the general assembly was a bill having
tendency to ease the minds and repIenish
the pocketbookS of the members. Ii
appropriated an hundred thousand to
defray theexpenseS of the session, salaries
per diem, etc. Senate Bill No. is the
''felow servent" bill, which created so
much confusion two years ago. The bill
was introduced by Senator Lawrence, and
we predict that it will be the greatest
proposition before the general assembly.
Both sides are lined up for a fight, and
both sides appear confident of victory in
the wind up. In order that every reader
of the TINES may understand exactly the
provisions of the bill, we submit ii in iull:
"Be it enacted, etc,
"Seetion 1. That any person, company
or corporation owning or operating rail-
road in this state transporting freight
and passengers for hire shall be liable
for the death or injury of any employe
caused by the negligence OF any other
agent, servant or employee of such person,
companyor corporation owning or opera
ting such railroad.
"Sec. 2 This act shall take effect from
and after its passage"
Watch for a fight on the fellow ser
wants" bill, for ii is surely coming.
Senator Bob Wilson has introduced an
gambling bill, which If passed will
make gambling or the maintenance Of a
gambling house felony. He promises
to leave no stone unframed to secure its
passage, and Senator Bob has a faculty
of getting nearly everything he goes after.
The republican member from Searey is
entitled to the honor Of FIRST blood In
the house. Monday morning resolution
was introduced expressing sympathy for
the Fippinos. On a motion to table,
the count Of noses by the speaker showed
that the resolution was lost, but Jack was
pregnant with an oratorlcal effort, and the
time Of delivery was at hand. He made
a tip top republican campaign speech, sup
posedly in opposition to the resolution,
and after a breathing spell took second
hitch at the subject. That settled H. a

Miss Stone and Madame
Tsilka are Located.
THEY ARE In BULGARIA
Information Is Reliable and American
Officials Will Dispatch Emissaries to
Treat With the captors of the Amer
ican Missionary for Her Release.

Sofia, Dec. 9.-According to informa-
ton received from Salonica, Miss
Stone and Madam Tsilka are conceal
ed in the vicinity of Rilo, about five
miles south of Dubntza in Bulgarian
territory. The news was brought by
a Macedonian who left there Decem-
Der 1, and furnished precise informa-
tion regarding the hiding place and
the names of the agents supplying
food for the brigands and their cap
tives. 1t is understood the informa-
tion is considered reliable enough to
justify the American officials in Tur-
key dispatching emissaries to treat
with the bandits. 1t is also under
stood that application has already
been made to the Turkish government
for the free passage of emissaries
across the Turkish frontier which is
vigilantly guarded by troops stationed
every hundred yards.
