Legislative Proceedings.

Now that the inaugural cere.
monies are over the Mississippi
legislature will settle down to
work in earnest Taking all in
all it will no doubt be the busiest
session in years.
A free interchange of ideas on
proposed laws of public impor-
tance has been in progress ever
since the two bodies convened,
and it is comparatively easy to
ascertain the sentiment of the
the majority on many of the
measures to which much interest
is attached. One thing especially
is quite apparent. While there
will be no display of niggardly
spirit toward the universities and
colleges, the legislature intends
to inquire more carefully into the
actual needs of these institut tions
than ever before, and statements
of needed improvements, or
amounts necessary for actual
support, made by the boards of
trustees, will not be taken for
granted as correct, which has
been the prevailing custom here
tofOre, and has often resulted in
lavish allowances. The colleges
will be expected to show where
and why the sums they ask are
needed.
There is hardly any doubt as
to the establishment of the de-
partment Of agriculture and i'm
migration, the passage of the
uniform text book bill, revision
Of the insurance and primary
election laws, enactment of pro-
tective measures against the
Mexican boil weevil, establish
ment of one or more agricultural
stations, acceptance of Beauvoir
as a home for INDECENT ex.C .Confed-
crates, enactment of a child labor
bill, creation of new chancery
court districts, sale of at least a
portion of the real estate owned
by the state in Jackson, estab-
lishment of a state normal school,
new codification of the laws of the
state, and passage Of favorable
laws on many minor subjects
that have been generally dis
cussed.

FLEET MAY GET
SHIPS FROM AMERICA.
Danger is Eminent-News Of Seizure

Days-Food Is Contraband of War,
and Russians May Intercept Vessels
With Careoes From Pacific Coast.

Tokio.-The object of the Russian
fleet, which left Nladivostok some
days ago and since reported cruising
off the Japanese main coast, is now
believed to be the capture of several
liners plying between San Francisco
and Seattle and oriental points. These
include the large vessels of the Pacifc
Mail Steamship company and the
Northern Pacific company
Fishermen have sighted the Rus
sian ships during the last few days

The danger to ships trading in The
Japanese ports is decidedly immi.
nent one and the belief is general here
that within very few days news OF
the capture of several well known Pa,
cific liners may be expected There
are few vessels trading with the
western contingent that are fast
enough to keep out of the way of the
Russian fleet, all of the three cruisers
which comprise the latter being better
than 20 knots in speed.

chants have been doing a thriving
business in the latter class of goods,
there is little doubt that most of the
steamships plying between the two
countries violate the spirit if not the
letter of the ruling.
1t is reported here that the Russian
fleet has succeeded in caching a quao
tity of coal at an island in the north
Pacific so that even If VladivostoR
should be blockaded and the feet
could not return there it would be ir
a position to replenish its coal. bunkers

JAPANs INTEREST IN SEIZURE.
Russa's Action Said to Be Insult to
Powers.

The passage of the Dardanelles by
the Russian volunteer feet steamers,
the seizures of German mail and the
capture in the Red Sea by Russia OF
the Peninsular & Oriental steamer Ma
lacca have attracted great attention
throughout Japan. The government Is
watching the situation keenly, but 1t
has not given any form of expression
to its views or indication that it will
take any action in the matter.
The editors of the Toxic newspapers
have met and passed a resolution de-
claring that the passage Of the OAR
danelles by the Russian ships is vio-
lation of treaty obligations and an in
suit to all of the powers, that the seiz-
ures of ships by the Russian volun-
teer vessels jeopardize the interests
of all neutral powers, and that Russia's
action endangers the peace Of the
world.
