LAW MAKING
OF THE WEEK
SENATORS GROW ELOQUENT ON
THE PENSION BILL.
$25o,O0O RECOMMENDED.
S250,000 Recommended. Bill to Di-
vide Pike County into two Circuit
and Chancery Districts, With Coun-
ty Site, McComb City to be Fought.
MONDAY.

There was a food Of oratory in the
senate this morning, the occasion be-
ing the General Pension Bill, which
came over from the house a few days
ago. The House bill fixed the amount
to be disburse1 in pensions by the
state at $250,000. The senate wanted
to do Just twice as much for the vet
Grams as the House, end after consid-
erable debate an amendment was
adopted fixing the amount to be dis
bursed at 100000, or $1,000,00O for
the. next two years. The amendment
was adopted, but when it came to the
passage of the bill, it failed to pass,
as there was only slim attendance
in the Senate, and it did not receive
the number of votes that the consti-
tuition requires. A motion was made
to reconsider and it will be passed
later. The Deaf and Dumb and the
Insane Hospital Bills were passed by
the Senate.
In the House the resolution intro
duced on Saturday providing for sine
die adjournment on March Is was
adopted. similar resolution was
introduced in the Senate, but it was
not acted on. A large number of un-
important bills were passed by the
House at the morning session. 1t in
definitely postponed bill to increase
the salaries of judges and chancel-
lors. 1t also passed the Senate bill
taking the governor off the Board of
Trustees of the various institutions.
The House this afternoon, after a
spirited debate, passed the bill divid-
ing Pike county into two circuit and
chancery court districts, with the
county site for the new district at
McComb City. The bill now goes to
the Senate for action, and it will be
vigorously fought there.
The Senate spent good part of the
evening in discussing bill to license
"pistol toters," and killed it, only
four votes being recorded in its favor.

SATURDAY.

This afternoon the Senate confer
ence committee on the uniform text
book bill notified the conference COM
mittee from the House that they
would accept the House amendment to
the Senate uniform text book bill and
Monday the committee will so make
their report. The disagreement arose
over the school book commission, the
senate bill providing that the attorney
general, superintendent Of education
and governor should select the COM
mission. The house amended the bill
providing that the governor shall ap-
point the commission. The senate re-
fused to accept this amendment and
though many conferences have been
held, the two have been at dead
lock until this afternoon. The bill
now comes up in the Senate and a
hard fight will be made there for its
passage. The House spent the entire
morning discussing bills of private ma
ture
The Senate this afternoon passed a
bill appropriating $50, 200 for beauti-
flying the capitol grounds and fur
nishing the building.

FRIDAY.

The House this morning reconsid.
cred its action on the Bond Bill, anG
the same was passed. 1t provides fol
an issue of bonds to the amount OF
$500, 1000 at 3 IL per cent, the same to
be taken up after ten years, if deemed
advisable.
Notwithstanding the session is draw.
ing TO a close, the introduction of bills
continues, there being quite number
introduced in the House this morn
ing.
The Senate did very little this morn
ing. 1t passed the House bill for the
support of the Vicksburg Hospital
The Senate this afternoon reconsid-
cred the vote whereby it passed the
Boundary Dispute Fee Bill, which car
ries with it an appropriation of $15,-
600 for attorneys fees and $4,000 for
expenses. 1t also has in it a provis-
ion that the Oyster Commission is to
pay another $4,000 for attorneys
fees. The bill was debated nearly all
the afternoon in the Senate and was
reconsidered, ana a committee ap-
pointed to look into the matter and
see if the bill as at present drawn pro-
vides that the money should be con-
tingent fee or whether it was a
straight fee. Some of the lawyers in
the Senate took the position that as
soon as the bill received the signature
Of the governor the lawyers could get
their money, whereas it was not de-
signed that they should do this. Tho
Senate seems to have trouble with this
bill, as this is the second special COM
mittee.
A few local bills were passed by the
Senate after it got through debating
the Boundary Bill.
The House spent the afternoon in
passing few unimportant measures.

groes in Chicago.

Chicago-At meeting of the COM
mittee having charge of the arrange
ments of the general conference of
the African Methodist church, which
is to be held in Chicago in May, it was
decided to ask President Robert L,
Lincoln, of the Pullman Company, td
grant to colored people equal rights
in sleeping and dining cars while trav-
cling through the south. Large num-
bers of the delegates from the south
are expected to attend the conference
and the railroads have planned to pro-
vide special sleeping and dining cars
for their use. II was decided at the
meeting of the committee today that
the plans would not be satisfactory.
The appeal to President Lincoln will
be based on the general rights Of In
terstate passengers.

Chicago. "A dispatch to the Trib-

Peculiar glass in the windows of the
new $25O,0OO factory Of local watch
company may lead to a strike which
will involve 500 employees.
When the building was opened six
weeks it was found the windows were
of a peculiar manufacture and would
admit light readily, but could not be
seen through.
Because of the glamour in the rooms
the employees objected. Foreman ad-
vised them to wait until trial had
been made. Five weeks test has re-
suited in severe eye trouble, and it is
said, severe headaches. A mass meet
ing was held and committees appoint
ed to draft resolution for presenta-
tion to the company's officials.
