As the reading of these two commun-
ications proceeded the sentences were
frequently punctuated with laughter.
III the meanwhile Representative Tate
and Senator Bacon were fearful that
something would intervene to prevent
a vote being reached on their bill. The
Senate, however, was disposed to be
in a playful. and at the same time a
generous mood, and they proceeded to
have 800 worth of fun before they re-
lieved the suspense which was percep-
tibly affecting the two statesmen from
Georgia. Here is the colloquy which
preceded the final passage of the bill
Mr. Platt of Connecticut Would the
senator from Georgia be willing to
make an amendment putting in at the
sworn value of the horse SIS?
Mr. Bacon. The owner os the horse,
who is presumed to know most about
it, says that he was worth 500.
Mr.. Aldrich. About 800.
Mr. Bacon. The senator recognizes
the fact that to amend the bill is to
Kill it. OF course. if he takes this
method of doing it l have no redress.
Mr.. Plat of Connecticut The bill
has one merit, and only one-that it is
only for 500.

great one.
Mr.. Spooner The amount of the
claim is not what troubles me about
it. I am willing that the Senate should
adopt the value by the owner of the
horse that was killed dead Qaughter)
but if it were not for the fact that an
amendment would kill the bill, l think
it ought to be amended so as to re-

500 to release any claim for damages

The bill was reported to the Senate

SAY THE LEGISLATURE

Dovel, Del, March 5.-The status Of
the Delaware Legislature is under con-
sideration by the judges of the state
courts, who will decide the constitu-
tienality of the act of the minority in
adjourning the assembly for more than
one day.
The constitution does not authorize
minority to adjourn either branch
of the Legislature, except from day
to day. The Legislature adjourned
Monday, after the lection of two
United States senators to meet the fol-
lowing day. On Tuesday. however, a
ma jority of the members went to
Washington to see the new senators
sworn in. AS only few legislators
were present at Tuesdays session,
Representative Holcomb adjourned he

Legal authorities say that act is I'M
Constitutional, and has rendered the

Wilmington, Del, March 5.-Five of
the Supreme Court judges met here to-
day TO consider the legality of the mi
nority of the Delaware Legislature in
adjourning thea session of the House
from Tuesday until to-day. Their de-
cision, announced tonight, was that as
the state constitution gives a minority
the right only to adjourn the assembly
from day to day, there was no adjourn
ment of the body on Tuesday, the Leg
islature technically remaining in ses-
sion until legally adjourned to-day by
the ma jority.

NO STRIKE AS YET.
Matters on the Wabash Have Seen
No Change.

ST. Louis. March 5.-No change in the
Wabash situation developed to-day
President Ramsey had nothing new to
report saying that all his force is at
work as usual, and that the matter of
strike was in the United States
courts.
Some progress was made by the I'M
ion leaders, who have secured as asso-
ciate counsel, F. N. Judson, a promi-
nent attorney of this city. to aid their
lawyers, Messrs. Penney and Irwin, in
the preparation of the motion and am
davits to be filed in Judge Adams
court to secure the dissolution of. his
sweeping injunction.
These formal papers, which will be
carefully prepared, will not be ready
for presentation for several days. I'm
til then there will be no change in the
situation, it be believed.
What course will be pursued should
the injunction be dissolved is as vet
undecided. but it is generally conceded
by those in authority that a strike will
be declared without further communi-
cation with the Wabash officials.

Havana, March 5.-Minister Souiers

Monday to learn the extent of Ameri-

those who are urging the sovereignty
OF the United States over the island.
The attorneys of the American set

sovereignty is conceded in the perma-

its ratification by the United States
Senate.

Cuba of the 900 remaining United
State artillerymen still guarding the
coast batteries at all the principal
ports is much discussed here. but the

to have them call and permit us to ex-
plain what we know about Vinol and

beneficially Vinol acted in one instance:
~ had a severe cough of long stand
ing. was advised by friends to give
your Vinol trial, which did. Before
taking it had tried many other reme-
dies for coughs without obtaining any
relief. With Vinol it was different. 1

am pleased to say my cough has almost
entirely left me. l have been decidedly
benefited by it's use in every way. Very
truly yours. H. E. SMALL, Boston,

he had aided Daniel j. Kelley, the
legislative agent of the Baking Pow
der trust, in disbursing money used
to defeat the repeal of the anti-alum

according to one source of informa-
ton. about March IS, 1901, received
fro m Legislative Agent Kelley $4,000.
1t was all in bills of denominations of
$100 or less, and was given to Lee
with the express understanding that
he should distribute it among the
ser ators. This was when the first
repeal bill was introduced, and it is
alleged that Lee accepted the money
at hotel in this city and two days
later repaired to the Laclede hotel.
where he called meeting of the IAN
ti-alum combine" After accepting the
money, Lee is said to have quailed at
the job and requested Senator Frank
H. Farris to distribute the coin. This
the latter is said to have done, and
it is alleged that each senator pres
ent received $1,000, while the remain
der of the money was "whacked up"
between Lee and Farris.

ACT HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Illinois Supreme Court Delivers an
Opinion on the Free Employ
ment Agency Measure.

Springfield, Ill.,, April 25.-The su-
preme court, Friday, handed down an
opinion in which it holds that the
free employment agency act passed
by the legislature in 1899 is unconsti-
tutional in its entirety. A suit was
appealed from the criminal court of
Cook county by Murray Matthews,
who was convicted of having violated
the act in failing to file with the sec
retary of state a bond of $1,000 to
conduct an employment agency. The
constitutionality of the act was at
tackled ON section s, which provides
that agents shall not furnish en-
ployes in cases of strikes or lockouts.
The court holds that this section is
without rational basis in law. At
Hamlin, in arguments
before the court, said that this sec
tion could be stricken out, but the
court holds otherwise, and says the
whole act must fall.
