 THE SENATE.
 The senate met at noon and the most in- terestng feature of it's short session was the report from the committee cn con stitution and constitutional amendments favorable to the osteopathy bill. General Harrison of Lee, General Johnston of Tus- caloosa and MT. Long of Henry made a minority report against the bill. The in- dcations are that the bill will have more difficult passage through the senate than it had in the house.
 Senator Halls bill to establish tax on cornn-nte proceedings was passed without consumption of time, being one of his series to perfect and liberalize the corporation laws of the state.
 Then General Harrisons bill to amend the law regulating the analysis of the stomachs of persons who are poisoned was taken up. It seems the code fixes the maximum charge of the state chemist for this service at SIS and the bill fixes the maximum at sl00. The argument for the bill is that the law requires the chem ist to do the work which frequently costs a great deal more than Sou and leaves him no recourse to recover his expenses. The counties have to pay 1t.
 MT Bullock moved to amend by making the maximum $50 where the chemist does not have to appear in court, but he sub sequenty withdrew it.
 An amendment by HIT. Hogue to fix the maximum charge at $50 was lost An amendment by MT. Thomt % make t mandatory on the state chemist to hn- alyze a stomach when ci led on by probate judge, was acceI d MT app offered to amend by dedu ls rom ne salary of the chemist am 7aouni thit might. be paid him in exec Of ais Rftual expenses in making the an iz ot et- tending court.
