LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

A singular situation arose in the sen
ate on Saturday over the child labor DIS
After long discussion avote was reacn-
ed on motion by Mr.. Halsey to make tne
Cabell bill substitute for the Lyle bill.
While there were sufficient members
present to defeat the substitute, so many
of them were paired that quorum couid
not be secured, and deadlock was the
consequence. The whole matter Will
therefore have to be gone over and de-
layed.
Mr.. Whitehead offered bill in regard
to liens on the crops of farmers for ad-
vances made them. The new bill seeks
to have the amount involved fixed at the
beginning of the transaction, the same
not to be exceeded.
HOUSE.
The report Of the committee on roads
on the subject of corporations was SUD
mitted to the House and read for the first
time.
Mr.. Angeles bill authorizing NUM-
cipal corporations having not less than
5000 population to issue bonds for the
redemption of outstanding bonds was
taken up out of its order. 1t was order
ed to its engrossment after it had been
materially amended. Mr.. Davis offered
an amendment providing that bonds
shall not be sold at less than par, and,
advocating his amendments, declared
that he desired to guarantee the interests
of the people from the evil juggling with
the finances of any city. The amend
ment was adopted. Mr.. Sipe secured an
amendment striking out the population
limitation and making the bill apply to
all towns and cities of whatever popula-
ton.
Consideration of the general revenue
bill was resumed. Mr.. Cation secured
the adoption of a series of amendments
reducing and equalizing the burden on
foreign and domestic corporations which
are required to pay an annual reglstra-
ton fee. A strong debate preceded
action on section SO, fixing the
annual state franchise tax on domestic
corporations, which the bill put at one
tenth of l per cent. of the total capital
stock market value. The House voted
down all amendments except one which
makes the real estate of corporations as
well as capital subject to the tax. The
bill exempted real estate. Mr.. Cardwell
secured the adoption of amendments to
the section relating to merchants IL
censes, subjecting oyster-packers to the
payment of graduated license tax rang
ing from IS to 500, according to the
business done. Amendments offered by
Mr.. Duke were inserted in the section
imposing a tax of $500 on peddlers by
wagon, making the tax $50 on peddlers
of butter, eggs, poultry, fish, oysters,
game and farm produce.

The Irish land purchase bill to be in
troduced by George Wyndham, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, is perhaps, the
most absorbing topic in political affairs
in England and Ireland. All the parties
interested in it-landlords, tenants,
unionists and nationalists-may be said
to be, for the first time in the history of
Ireland, in agreement upon the lines Of
the Dublin conference. They have also
joined forces in bringing pressure on the
government to make Secretary Wynd-
hams forthcoming bill agree in spirit
with the recommendations of The con-
ference, and all indications point to the
bill conceding those demands. 1t will
be introduced in Parliament at the end
of March, and if passed will accomplish
what Mr.. Redmond and Lord Dunraven
agree in saying will be one Of the "most
extraordinary, peaceful revolutions ever
effected"
