THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


Senator Sale introduced two bills yes
terdsy looking to perfecting arrange
ments for the proper policing OF the ex-
position grounds and to facilitate Tue
military display during ;be exposition.
The troops Of The United States, OF lore
ign countries and Of the states are there
by permitted to enter aud maneuver In
Virginia during the exposition without
further permit.
Senator Sale also introduced a DILL to
allow the use of voting machines in any
primary or regular election in Norfolk
for receiving, recording and counting the
votes, providing the secrecy ofthe voting
shall not be impaired.
The special order relating to demur-
rers to evidence occupied the main part
of the Senate session. Senator Sims spoke
against the bill and Senator Sears made
an acknowledgement in its favor. II
was finally ordered to its engrossment
aud third reading.
Senator Harmon presented lengthy
petition to the Senate from the Negro
Development aud Exposition Company
of the United States, requesting The
General Assembly TO make sn appro-
priation of 500, 900 for the purpose OF
aiding the association in making credi-
table showing for the negro race at the
jamestown Exposition.
The Senate took up and passed the
bill providing that the judgment OF a
Circuit or Corporation Court, or other
court of record, In any action at law re-
curing plaintiffto remit any part of re-
covery may be subject TO review by the
Supreme Court of Appeals. The Senate
also passed the bill TO establish state
geological and economic survey.
Tie Senate committee on finance re-
ported favorably the House bill which
appropriated $500, 900 for the public
schools of the State for tie primary aud
grammar grades. fhe bill already has
passed the House. The State already
appropriates 100000 direct TO the
schools, and this will double the amount.
The bill was reported just as it passed
the House, and the action OF the COM
mittee presages the passage of the meas
ure by the Senate. The appropri-
alton will be payable during the coming
school year, which will begin Septem-
Der l.
The S nate bill authorizing the coun-
ellis of towGs, villages, or where there
ara no councils, the boards of superyis-
Ors of any county in which there may
be any town or village, to make it un-
Lawful for any railway company to trans
port excursions or picnic parties to such
towns, villages, or other portions OF
this State where there is no adequate
police protection, was favOrably re-
ported.
The House bill concerning public.
service corporations and requiring the
separation of colored and white pas
sengers on cars operated by electricity
also received favorable report.

AMONG the few good items of news,
or atoms of good news, which come froih
Richmond is that the legislature has de-
tcrmined to consider no bills offered after
the 10Th ins.. There have already been
enough bills t. paper the State House
from turret to foundation, many OF them
rs foolish as they would prove ~asteful
if enacted into laws. If tie General AS
semblv had confined itself TO session oil
twenty or thirty days. and devoted that
period to possible correction CT the
errors of the last session, the people
would haze been infinitely better of at
the close OF the present session than they
will be- The lawmakers seem to be
chiefly engaged in making some bad
laws and attempting to amend the con-
stitution faulty as it may be in spots)
before that guide for our government
has had fair trial. The constitution is
the inspiration of the brains and formed
nv the hands of men OF acknowledged
ability. and, concededly, head and
shoulders above the COmmonwealth's
nresent lawmakers. Not satisfied with
passing or trying to pass bills to double
their swn pay, some member has intro
dnced bill increasing the allowance of
serceants of cities and sheriffs OF coun-
ties one hundred per cent. for boarding
prlsontrs One can get an idea OF the
extra cost to the State, cities and coun-
ties from the mere citation of the bills
presented to the Corporation Court OF
Alexandria for allowances for board OF
prisoners in Jail Tor the twelve months
ending January 81, 1906. These bills,
payable out OF the city treasury, amount
ed TO SIG. 90, and from the State treas
ury 80, 2l9, q total of 2,935.5O. Now
if this allowance is doubled, quite a
large sum will fin its way from the
earnings of the people to the pockets Of
the sergeants and sherifs. Remarkable,
indeed, would be the passage of this bill,
when one recalls that the State pays the
physicians for attending, and for the
medicine prescribed the prisoners in
iail The cities and counties erect and
keep in repair jails, furnish water, gas,
-, ..hi~h the meals are cooked.

Richmond Annexes Suburbs.

After hearing ali the evidence, con-
sidering the arguments and viewing the
maps OF the territory TO be made part
of Richmond, Judge G. E. Nicol yester-
day afternoon read bis order 10 the an
nexation case, which has been 10 prog
ress in the Henrico County Court tor
the last two weeks. Almost all the pro-
posed territory is ordered taken in ex-
cept Barton Heights, eChestnut Hill,
River View and the Dooley property.
This adds to the city about $4,000, 600
worth of property and large area Tor
expansion.
Following are the salient features Of

tionsl aud valid.

mo- Reduce Naval strength.

Birmingham, Eng, Feb. l6.-The
Post today says that an exchange IN
views is going on teiweCn The British
aud French governments with the idea
Of further reducing the naval strength
of each country in the lar East Such
step is regarded as desirable on the
ground OF economy. II is considered
that the destruction Of the Russian feet
by Admiral Togo ended the necessity for
maintaining large force IN Chinese
waters. Every effort, however, will be
made to improve the naval bases in these
regions in case of emergency.

The Castellane Case

Paris, Feb. l6. Count Boni De Cas-
tellane was served today with writ in
the suit of his wife, Countess Anna, for
separation. The serving of the writ
marks the end of the time provided by
law within which attempts at reconcil-
iatiou must be made. Under the French
method of procedure, a wife, unless a
femme commercsnte, cannot bring
legal action except with her husbands
consent. Accordingly Countess Anna
had to apply TO the court for leave to
bring the action against Boni. This
was granted on February !. The judge
summoned both parties before him in
the customary effort TO bring about an
agreement. On the failure of this at
tempt, the countess had twenty days in
which to file writ. This was done to-
day. Present indications point to quiet
issue of the case Count Boni is not
expected to interpose any defense, aud
il is believed the case can be settled
without bringing in a third name. The
counts attorneys we're anxious for
conference with the countess lawyers
today or tomorrow TO discuss terms of
the separation, but the latter replied
that they were not prepared to grant the
request.

in his appeal to his party friends in the

hoped aud expected that he will closely

Progress Of the Chinese.


A competent authority on the far East
declares that the Chinese have made more
progress during the last 5 years than any
other nation on esrtb, not excepting Ja-
pan. He admits that China has not made
such advance in iron and coal production
as has the United States, but he contends
that China has made wider and more
profound change in her whole attitude
toward western civilization than has any
other nation. The latest proof that
China's face Ia set toward progress Is
found in the imperial decree issued re-
Gently promising: change of laws.
While this decree does not promise q
constitution, as careless readers have in
ferred, nevertheless it points in that d.
rection. A more stirling indication OF
the adoption of not only western civil
zstion, but of Christianity, is found in the
decree Just issued by Chang Chih-tung,
ordering the New Testamet taught along
side the Confucisn classics among the
5000, 900 people over whom he rules.
