TWO REPORTS IN SENATE.

The first results in the great battle oye

sion by the Counties, Cities and TOWN.

vided and voted ten to two in favor OF the
Gardner bill for popular elections. yet the
minority members will yield in tho lower
branch and will make no minority report.
The vote stood as follows on tho two
propositions:
Dor the Gardner bill: House members
Messrs. Jordan, Allen. Gardner. Diam,
Taylor Moore Burns, Smith. Mays,
Goodwin. Senators Hobbs. Dinwiddie.
Tor the Anderson bill: Messrs. Christian,
Edmundson, from the House, and Senators
Opie, Hnlsey, Chapman. Gold and Walker.
LOOKS FAVORABLH.
Il looks as If the Gardner bill will pass
both houses and become law, and tho
advocates. of this measure were very hap
by over the outlook last night and OK
pressed themselves as confident Of vjo-
tory. The Gardner li;l provides Tor de-
teimlning all the questions relating to
annexation by vote OF the people, while
the bill OF Colonel Anderson confers the
jurisdiction upon nonresident circuit
Judges.
Messrs. Gardner, Allen and Owens were
appointed rs subcommittee to perfect
tho bill in some minor particulars before
] 1t is finally reported to tho House,
& The fight over these bills In the com.
mittees has been long AMI spirited, and Q
great number OF speeches have been made.
Not long ago Hon. A. P. 1.rhom, OF Nor
folk, appeared for the Gardner bill. and
the Anderson measure was advocated by
Hon. Charles v. Meredith, OF this city.
The matter Is ono of great interest to
the people OF the cities and towns. of TIA

(By Associated Fress)
CHICAGO. rILL, January 27.-The bull
campaign In May wheat received SO.
we're set back to-day. and decline OF
over two cents was registered in that
delivery. The main reason for tho de.
cline was tho disappointing toreiRn adj
vnnces which caused considerable anxiety
among the longs, resulting in the unload
Ing OF heavy lines upon an already weak
market. The let UP In the export de-
mand was tho principal bear factor nd
Vices from France being to the effect that
tho wheat which has been sold here tl:s
past few days. presumably for French
consumption, was intended for grinding
In bond and to DO exported aEnin as
flour. The leader fhtc bull campaign,
who has been an active buyer for the
past few weeks. took but small part in tho
trading to-day. and as result tho mar
ket lacked any material support.
RUSH FOR PROFITS.
When It was learned later in the ses-
sion that the operator who had been
leading the bull movement was selling
through brokers'. there was great rush
to secure profits, and an enormous
amount Of long wheat was dumped upon
the market. There was Il slight rally to-
ward the close on covering by shorts.
Late in tho day It was reported that
Armour who had been the leader In the
bull movement. had disposed of any
where from 100000 to 15,oM,ooo bushels
Of May wheat during the day, and the
Interference was that he was endeavor-
ing to shake out tho smaller traders. and
from tho appearance OF the market to-
day it would seem that he had been Sue
cessfu. The line which was held by
this leading house was purchased from
IS cents up, and estimating his profits at
cents per bushel. which Is conser-
vative figure, the net profits on the deal
as shown by days sales would amount

A BIG IMPROVEMENT.
Sulkhead at Foot Of IOhn Street Has Been
Long Needed.

The bulkhead at the foot of John

corner and George street, is going to
be a big Improvement. Formerly
here was no path at all, then a board
walk was built; but now there will
be road which takes off the side of
the yard of the bingham property,
making it bad for the tenants, but
fine for parties driving into town with
vegetables, etc. as they can drive over
the George street bridge and around
to John street without driving over
the John street crossing and perhaps
standiug several minutes with restless
horses when the street is blocked
with freight traius. They can drive
around from other streets. The ap-
pearance of the streets at the shore
end will be greatly improved too, as
it has been rather unsightly down
that way for years.

Cattle In the West.

"More cattle are being raised in the
west than ever before. Ranches of
thousands of acres have been divided
into small farms, but each farmer
raises much more in the aggregate, /"
said Robert S. Faulkner, of Kansas
City. at is true the big ranches of 90
years ago have disappeared, but these
lands are held in smaller parcels by
farmers who are largely engaged in
raising corn and feeding stock Where
there were formerly herds of several
thousand cattle there are now many
small farmers who raise from 20 to SO
head of cattle annually. The horse and
mule business has been on the boom
