 IN THE SUCKER STATE
Started hy Speaker of the Eonse Talk
 ing of Bribery.

Springfield, H., April 23-Slugging and rolling over each other across the speakers platform in a frenzied fist fight at the feet of score of women guests, the members Of the Illinois leg iSlature today surpassed the widest scenes of the Austrian reichsrath. To- night charges by the speaker of the house, Isaac Miller, that attempts had been made to bribe him were formally made as an application for the actions cn his part that precipitated the riot. The interior of the legislative chamber tonight resembled in a measure the track of a tornado, so general was the Wreckage of chairs and desks.
 The Chicago street railway fran chises, more valuable than gold mines, are directly at stake, the federal court receiversh1p proceedings against the Union Traction company of Chicag go yesterday having brought the matter to q sudden issue. The receivership was held by many to indicate an inten- ton by the street railway company to fight out a claim to a ninety nine-year franchise instead of negotiating with the Chicago City council for a renewal
 
 with a municipal ownership option on the part of the city.
 The trouble started over a ruling of Speaker Miller's in favor of the Lindley bill. Indignant members attempted to pull him from the chair, and in the turmoil Miller declared the house ad- iourned Thereupon Representative Murray, a Mueller bill man. called for the election of a speaker pro tenn, and Charles Allen of Vermillion was chosen.
 Then the assembly became the scene of wild confusion. The aisles were filled with q struggling mass.
 Allen with difficulty made his way to the chair. The turbulent session con- tinued until late in the afternoon. when the Mueller bill was finally adopted. Throughout the day fist fights were frequent and epithets were hurled back and forth between the partisans
 The municipal ownership fight is the most exciting the state capital has wit messed in many years. Chicago senti- ment is said to favor the Mueller bill. while the Lindley bill, which was sup ported by the minority, has been force l to the front.

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep in Spain, which each year travel
as much as 200 miles from the plains
to the mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep which have the right to Craze
on all open and common land on the
way. For this purpose a road 80 yards
wide must be left on all inclosed and
private property. The shepherds lead
their focks, which follow after and
around. The flocks are accompanied
by provision mules, and by large dogs,
to guard against wolves. The merino
sheep travel 400 miles to the mountains
and the total time spent on the miera.

it is estimated by various well-in-

about 6,947 were tramps and only 1900
were liners.
A German ornithologist points out
that the diminution in the number of
song birds in his country is not caused
entirely by the Italians who slaughter
the migratory birds in winter by whole
sale. Much is also due to the depreda-

of shrubbery in which the birds could
hatch their eggs.
