Representative Clark said he doubted
the propriety of authorizing the gov
ernor to appoint SO many additional
notaries public. After while, every bust.
Less mao will want one in his office.
The notaries public are now dividing
up the work so that 1t soon will not be
remunerative 10 anybody.
Representative Robertson said the
General Assembly should be careful.
Most of the espplicants are clerks in law
Offices, who are attempting to Absorb
the emoluments Of others.
Representative llolocmb said he would
oppose the creation of additional
notaries public. Already. the rates have
been cut from one-fourth to one eighth.

VICTORIA'S BODY AT REST.

Windsor, Eng. Feb. 4.-Hundreds a.
of people poured into Windsor through
out the morning and by O'Clock the
long walk was already black with
spectators, mostly from the surround
ing country, waiting for a last glance
at the coffin containing the remains of
Queen Victoria. The sun was shining
brightly.
The representatives of royal families
arrived from London at about O'Clock
and drove to Windsor Castle.
The streets of the old town were still
hung with wreaths, sadly faded since
Saturday. The stores were closed dur.
ing the interim.
The kings OF Portugal, Belgium and
Greece returned to Windsor this morE-
ing, to attend the ceremony OF placing
Queen Viotoria's remains beside those
of the prince consort at Frogmore.
The duke of Cornwall and York has
recovered enough TO sit up for brief
period today.
The final rites over the dead queen
were concluded at $50 p. M, and the
body was laid to rest in the FIogmore
mausoleum.
King Edward Queen Alexandra,
Emperor William and others of the
royal family attended the services
beside the coffin at an early hour this
morning.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
Interesting Items of Legislative Business
Briefly Stated.

Briefly stated.
Dover, Feb. 5.-Senators Allee and
Clements have been appointed com
mittee to purchase safe as reposi-
tory for bills. The safe will be- put in
the State House psrlor, and the use of
the former will be restricted to the
secretary of the Senate and the clerk OF
the House. This will lessen the danger
OF bills going astray.
In moving that the House joint reso-
luton appointing State directors of
the Wilmington branch OF the Farmers
Bank be laid over for one day, Repre-
sentative Baynard, it is said, was
prompted by desire to secure the SUE
stitution of the name of William Law
ton for that of William Baxter. The
House, however, substituted the name
of Edmund Mitchell, Jr.
The Senate has passed, with an
amendment, the Senate bill prohibit
ing the laying of railway tracks on West
Ninth street. Wilmington. The amend
ment says the act shall not be con-
strued as meaning that railways on
other streets snail not cross West Ninth
street.
Senator Alice has introduced an act
incorporating the Kent Savings Bank.
Ii. A. Richardson, GD,. Hum, Dr.
James H. Wilson, Henry Ridgey, Jr.
and ii, Ridgely Harrington are the in-
corporators. The capital stock is s25, :
