END OF FIRST WEEK
 IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY Many New Laws We're Proposed,
 But None Enacted. Ninety-Eight Bills, Independent of Joint Resolutions, Introduced
 During First Week.

Little Rock, Jan. 14.-At noon today the House adjourned until 9 o'clock Monday morning The Senate was not in session today. having adjourned Friday evening until Monday morning.
 Twenty-eight bills were intro duced in the House today, making total of sixty-two bills introduc- ed in the House. Thirty-six have been introduced in the Senate, making a total of 9S bills introduce ed in both bodies during the first week.
 The Senate has passed several bills, among the number being the famous King antitrust bill. which was passed Friday. No bills have passed the House, however, except two or three of local na- ture.
 Among the bills introduced to- day was one (H. B. 49) by Hon. T. J. Raney, of Independence county. It provides for the regu- lation of mutual insurance com panies, and differs from the pres ent law by requiring that 50 per cent of all premiums be set aside to pay losses, and that an indem- nity bond be furnished as a guar antee. 1t also provides for an ex- animation of the affairs of each company by the state auditor ev- cry six months, the company so examined to pay aII expenses of such examination.
 It Is very probable that the question of establishing a state re- form school will be referred to joint committee, with instructions to draft bill covering the matter. A proposition is also pending for the appointment of q joint commit tee to frame q general road im- proyement law As usual, joint committee will be appointed to visit and report upon the Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 Of the bills and joint resolutions already introduced and awaiting reference to committees there are a number bearing on the subject of dividing the school taxes paid by whites and negroes. Mr. Fields of Columbia county has of fered a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution so as to empower the legislature to segregate the taxes paid for common school purposes.
 Thus far no bill for convention to frame new constitution has been offered, but such a measure is certain to be presented soon. Mir. Garrett of Cleveland county proposes to introduce bill on that line.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
 TO THE LEGISLATURE It Was Lengthy Document, But Weak in rIany Places. Few Good Suggestions and Much Hot Air Contained in Governors
 Inaugural Address.

the legislature was one of the most lengthly documents ever inflicted upon that body. It fills fourteen columns set in type two points smaller than the regular body type used in The Journal, and is, therefore, too lengthly to repro duce in full. But we present be- low a brief synopsis of the mes- sage, as published by the Little Rock Democrat
 Governor Davis began his inaug- ural address with the assertion that with him the bitter feeling engendered during the late cam paign was ended. Later on in the address he showed unmistakably that the sentiments he entertained for certain departments of the state government was anything but the most friendly.
 The governor congratulated the state on its unrivaled prosperity. When he went into office the state owed S64, GOO, and that amount has been paid with the exception of S12,50O outstanding in bonds, which cannot be located. The state is therefore practically out of debt.
 Tax valuations have increased fifty million dollars within four years.
 An appropriation is recommend ed for q boys dormitory at the deaf mute institute.
 It is recommended that a home for incurable insane people be erected away from Little Rock, somewhere in the mountains on the railroad.
 An operating room is urged for the insane asylum.
 The governor wants fund of s, 300 to be placed at the disposal of himself and the superintendent of the asylum and to be used in paying for surgical skill among the patients at the asylum. It IS not suggested that the assembly might supply the demand.
 The governor recommends re- form school, urging that only a small appropriation be used for that purpose at the beginning, His arguments in favor of such school were quite plausible. However, he wants the governor authorized to appoint the commissioners to in- augurate the movement.
 The antitrust recommendation was very strong and pronounced. He recommends the passage of the King bill by the assembly.
 It is recommended that law be enacted permitting the taxation of the franchises of corporations. Banks should be assessed at the actual value of their paidup capi- tai stock.
 The legislature is asked to pass q bill paying the amounts borrow ed to run the Deaf Mute Institute and to cover unpaid salaries to employees of that institution.
 The state is asked to appropri- ate $50 per month to care of Tom my Southerland, a poor deaf mute and blind boy whom the governor discovered in one of his country trips,
 \ fellow-seryants' law IS strong ly urged, and the best of reasons advanced why such law should be enacted.
 The legislature is urged to pass law requiring what IS termed wild eat mutual insurance compan-

Converting a Horse
By SMITH d. FRY

n
~ ing to fire-engine company de-
Veloped vicious desire to bite everyone
that came near him; and he ALWAYS was
careful to subdue his criminal desires until
the back of his victim was turned to him.
There was no better horse in the
service, for he always was ready to rush
to his place and do his whole duty, which
was great deal, as he was powerful and
swift. The excitement was alluring to
him, and he enjoyed fire duty. He was
dignihed and placid at fires, but when
back In his stall he always was ready for
biting, and biting viciously too.
One afternoon a stranger entered the
engine-hOuSe and asked to see the fore
man. When that official arrived, the
stranger told him that he had come to
cure his biting horse, and that he would
cure him in one day for five dollars. The
foreman looked at his credentials and
permitted him to take the horse away
with him, with the understanding that
the animal was to be brought back that
night cured.
Only three hours elapsed when the
stranger returned with the horse, ard
pronounced him entirely cured. He
stood beside the horse and rubbed his
shoulder against the nose of the animal,
turned his back, and finally induced
Others to do the same; and the horse
merely looked meekly on. His eyes were
suffused with tears, and he kept on weep
ing, while he glanced reproachfully at
the man who had cured him
What have you done to the horse
that has changed him thus?" inquired
the foreman
"Oh, we had a revival of religion, and
l made him cry and come up to the
mourners' bench. He is converted
That's all nonsense" said the fore
man.
You ask the horse if it is. He is a
converted horse, sorry for his sins, and
anxious to be taken into full communion.
After SIX months probation, we shall
take him into our church for converted
horses. He's all right.
The man was paid his fee of five dollars,
and went away. Two or three days
elapsed, and he appeared again, asking
for the foreman, and when that official
appeared, he told him that for another
fee of five dollars he would tell him how
to cure biting horses. The agreement
was made, and the stranger said:
4 took your horse out to my little
suburban place, hitched him to buggy
drove down the road. got out and left
him within about ten feet Of dummy
man, stuffed with straw. l got over the
fence and watched for developments
Your horse gradually stepped up to the
dummy and suddenly grabbed 1t anc
gave it a vicious shaking; but only toi
a half minute Then he began to cough
and snort and weep. He had grabbed anc
shaken up full pound of cayenne pepper
He got enough to last him a lifetime.

Poverty VS.. Riches

Upon a tattered dollar bill

Three million frisky little germs
In brotherly communion
They knew the hand of fellowship
In homely circles Travelled,
On simple plenty Jared, nor yet
The sleeve of care unraveled-
Upon a thousand-dollar bill,
From vulgar touch protected,
a single microbe had with care
His costly home erected.
He feared that he would lose his

He overworked-no question
He held himself aloOf, and soon
Developed indigestion.
OF course, the kind of life he led
For him was most unhealthy,
And so he died, a victim OF

The Governments Edict Commands OmcIaIs to Take Measures for Its SuppresMiOn--Mfnist Rock
 hIII's CabIeGFam.

oyster Bay. N. Y, Sept. 1.-china has placed the boycott of American products under an imperial ban. An edict has been issued by the govern ment viceroys and governors of prov inces to take measures for the sup pression of the boycott and holding them strictly responsible.
 The State department at Washing ton has received a cablegram from Minister Rockhill at Pekin giving a summary of the edict. The cablegram was forwarded immediately to the President and by his direction Secre- tary Loeb made 1t public today. The text of the cablegram follows:
 Imperial edict published yesterday states that the long and deep friend ship between the United States and China has never been tried as now. The United States government has promised to revise treaty and people should peacefully await action of both governments. Boycott wrong and harminE friendly relations.

 Secretary Wilson made immediate re- ply. his letter being dated at the de partment, Aug. 23. He said:
 T have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Aug. 22 relative to the cotton reports Issued by this department After mature consid- eration it seems to me that the estab- lishment of a crop estimating board was the wisest step the department could take under existing circum- stances. Sc far the arrangement has worked admirably. I am still consider ing the question. which has been raised in several quarters. whether we can or can not give out the reports as they come to us. No little discussion has been provoked among cotton mer- chants and cotton growers respecting the determination of the Department of Agriculture to handle the compilation and giving out of the crop estimates and reports through a board. Inquiry at the department today was met with the statement that for the present the arrangement was for the next report, which is to issue on the 5th inst. to be prepared by a board consisting of As sistant Secretary W. N. Hayes. Chair man; stephen Fessenden, Assistant Sta tistician; George K. Holmes. Chief of the Division of Domestic Crop Reports; Victor H. Olmsted. Chief of the Df- vision of Foreign Markets. and P. L.. Hutchinson. Expert Field Agent. re- gently appointed from Louisiana.

 The board of consulting engineers had referred to 1t all the data thai nao been collected by the commission pear ing upon the subject of type or canai. This data may be sufficient TOT tne board to determine whether tne cana, should be constructed with looks or should be a sea-leveI canal, ana IF the former should be recommended then details as to the character of locks VIII be taken under discussion The recom- mendations of the consulting engineers was not final. but was made to the lstn- milan Canal Commission. which In turn will use its own judgment In q report and recommendations to the President The final conclusions as to. the type of canal will be settled by the Presi- dent and Congress. In calling the board of consulting engineers together the President directed that in case there was difference of opinion among mem bers of the board there should be mi- nority reports. It was also stated that the board might visit the Isthmus be- fore making its final report if 1t should be deemed necessary.
 The Duties.
 The board of copsulting engineers did not have referred to 1t detailed questions of engineering connected with the construction of the canal at- ter the type that has been determined. Beyond making recommendations as to the type of canal, whether locks or sea level, together with suggestions as to the method om constructing the LOCK canal. its duty as defined and under stood by the commission ceased.
 The executive work of the Isthmian canal commission was much simplihed by the retirement of Mir. Wallace as chief engineer. Previous to that time the duties of the commission as an executive body were distributed be- tween Chairman Shonts. Chief Engi- neer Wallace and Governor Masoon, Chairman Shonts having general su- perytsion of the work of the other com missioners. Wallace was a member of the commission, but when John F. stew ems was made his successor as cnieI engineer. he was not made menues of the commission, but was employed hy Chairman Shonts and the engineer ing and construction work is un. der the direction instead Of general supervision of Chairman Shonts. Chiet Engineer Stevens, unlike Mir, Wallace. is not a member of the Executive boaro of the Commission. While the engineer ing work of the Commission will De un- der the immediate supervision or Chiei Stavens. he will be assisted by com mittse on engineering consisting oi Generals Haines and Ernest Admiral Endicott and Major Harrod, who are also members of the Commission:

The problems which will be submitted to the en- Eineering committee will not be n9mer- ans untii after the type of canal has baen determined, although 1t was ex- nected that the board which met toaay would avail itself of the experiences ana advice of the enslueering comm,e r.s,cS tSs HS fsfssr had with the canal since the ITnited states 0overnment took hold oi the enterprise.

Forfx-Three Cnaen.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-Forty-three cases of cholera in all have been reported. Nine persons have died from the disease, and many suspicious cases are under sur veillance.
 The legal and medical machinery for dealing with this invasion of the Asian bacillus is TOW working with full eff feet. Professor Sonnenberg said to the Associated Press tonight that no one need fear an epidemic. such as that of 1S92-9s. because the health authorities since that time had built up an organi- zation quite adequate to grasp the be- ginning of cholera and to put down the disease with precision and firmness. The health machinery, to which Professor Sonnenberg alludes. Is working in CO., operation with the police and other pub lie services. With the exception of the one death at Hamburg the cholera is confined to the West Prussian districts. The State has now detained under medi- cal observation I4eariy 1000 persons, in- cluding emigrants at Brunshaven.
 If the same agencies and the same spirit were at work beyond the Russian frontier, the Prussian health authorities would feel satisfied with what Is being done. A doubt. almost amounting to conviction, exists that Russia has not yet been aroused to the danger and that It's task of dealing with the problem Is much more difficult than that which confronts the authorities here.

 A repetition of the trouble is an- ticipated as. though large numbers of students who desire to resume their studies have made application to do so, the radical clement especially the socialisttc students. will undoubtedly attempt to prevent the re-opening of the universities, etc, especially since the goverment has made no change in inc administrative regulations.
