NOT A RIPPLE ON BUSINESS OF
MORNING.
Notices of Bills, New Bills, Reports, Pc
titions, and The Like, Take Up All
The Time-Very Severe Session.

The Senate session this morning was
as serene as one of Tennysons hollow
fields" on a clear day in June, or one
of those gems Gray tells about as being
in the dark unfathomed depths" In
other words, there was nothing to
quake anybody's nerves. Not Sen
ator wanted to fight, apparently; Sen
ator White did not seem to want to
break anybodys nose Russelintsky
had no Dispensary bill to further. Car
teritsky and Crabbeitsky seemed to be
friendly. The situation soon disguised
the visitors in the gallery and the crowd
that had gathered to witness some
thing else unusual cleared out.
1t must be said that the Senate did a
good deal of work this morning. In the
two hours of the session more matters
came up and were disposed of, in one
way and another, than on any day this
session.

morning Senator Achi introduced the

there, whereas ii was only proposed [
allow $4,000. The Legislature might
withhold the appropriation for the goo
