A RECESS PROPOSED
A New Solution of the Early Ad-
jOurnment Problem.
YOUNG SAYS IT CAN'T BE DONE
Life of Present Legislature Ends
After 30 Legislative Days,
Save for Extra Session.

A brilliant idea has struck several
members of the house. who propose to
solve the early adjournment problem. Ac-
cording to report current at the capt.
tol to-day, this is the way they expect
to do it:
Tuesday some member will introduce
a concurrent resolution in the house, pro-
viding that the legislature shall take a
recess from April to Feb. 1, 1902. Then
the session next year would not be an
extra session, but an adjourned session.
All business remaining unfinished April
would go over and be taken up at the
adjourned session. This would remove
the opposition of those who have bills
that need plenty Of time to get through.
A Novel Proposition.
The proposition is novel one. At
first glance it seems practicable. But
when it was submitted to Senator Young
he declared at once that it could not be
done. He said:
The duration of the legislature is fixed by
the constitution at ninety legislative days.
When a recess is taken our time goes on
just the same Ninety days after our as
sembling, excluding Sundays and holidays.
our term is over and we have no further
existence as legislature unless the governor
calls us into extra session.
A Report ON the Point
The house judiciary committee in 1889
made report interpreting the language
Of the constitution, as follows:
1t was clearly the purpose of the legislature
which proposed this amendment to the con-
stitution to the people and plainly the inten-
ton Of the people, when voting for its adop-
ton, to limit the sessions of the legislature
to ninety days, excluding only Sundays and
legal holidays.
Senator Young was a member of the
committee that framed this report. He
also calls attention to the language of
the constitution in article 4, section 6,
which says that neither house shall,
during a session of the legislature, ad-
journ for more than three days, Sundays
excepted without the
consent of the other house, The phrase
during a session of the legislature.
Senator Young holds, means that ses-
sions are to be continuous.
The introduction of such a resolution
would only becloud the matter 1t would
have to be referred to the judiciary COM
mittee for an opinion, and the settlement
of the early adjournment question would
be deferred so long as to make it impos
sible to finish up the business on hand
in less than the ninety days,

England Now Regards 1t as
a Probability.
BOTH READY TO STRIKE
Situation at Tientsin Reaches the
Acute Stage.
POSITION OF GERMANY AND JAPAN
American Order to Withdraw Troops
is Regarded Very
Significant.

London, March 16.-News from China
this morning is of such extremely
grave tenor that talk of an Anglo Russian
war veers from possibility to probability.
That the czar is determined to retain
the disputed railway land in Tientsin at
whatever cost is evidenced by the fact that
Russian troops are now in an intrenehed
position there.
That Great Britain is equally resolved to
have possession of this strip of territory,
by force of arms if necessary, is proved by
her ranks of soldiers, with fixed bayonets,
standing in line of battle only a stones
throw from the Russians and only await
ing the order to strike.
Tientsin reports this as the present sen
sational situation, and adds that both
sides ARE awaiting instructions from
their governments" Russia has not been
heard from openly, though secret orders
have undoubtedly been sent from St.
Petersburg.

Count Won Buelow reiterates Teutonic
adherence to the Anglo German pact, an
essential feature of which is mainten-
ance of the integrity of China, while dip
lomats in the United States already fore
cast Japan as fighting side by side with
Britain.
Count Won Buelow categorically denies
there is any secret clause in the Anglo
German agreement, and then specifically
and significantly adds that Manchuria is
not mentioned therein. AS permanent
Russian possession of Manchuria will be
first step toward dismemberment, officials
in Downing street assert that under pres
ent conditions the kaiser is in honor
bound to sustain Britain's position.
stands From Under.
Despite the fact that the United States
government announced several months
ago that her troops would be withdrawn
from China at the earliest opportunity,
yesterdays orders to General Chaffee to
leave only legation guard of $50 in that
country by the end of. next month is re-
garded here as highly significant
1t is interpreted here as meaning that
the United States realizes the imminence
of international war in the Orient and is
resolved not to be involved therein.
