Conclusion
SPEAKER WANTS TROOPS
To Repress Mine Memorial from

nation for Calling Soldiers De-
manded from Governor.

Carson City. New. Jan. 22.-Both
houses Of the Nevada legislature held
short sessions yesterday No legislation
came up relative to the 6soldfeld stu
alton, Tor the committee having Ia
charge the measure providing for state
militia has not reported. In the assem-.
Bly, Speaker Skagga, who Inns been much
criticised BY newspapers, left the chair
and made an attack on the wspapers.
he said that he was not in favor Of
troops for the miners, but he believed in
them to repress the mine owners. He
declared that the press Of Nevada was
subsidized by the Mine Owners associa-
ton.
The assembly held half-hour ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. A memorial
from the Tonopath Miners Union was
read. II denounced the action of Gov
ernor Sparks in calling for troops, and
declared that at no time has there been
any lawlessness in the mining camps Of
Nevada. The special committee having
the framing Of the eonst8bulary biz
asked for time. 1t is said in the lobby
that there is grave doubt whether any
such measure can pass the House This
action Of the House in adopting resolus
ton demanding explanations from the
governor for calling troops gives the
general tenor of the assembly. The ques-
ton may come 10 an open issue BY to-
morrow.

STORIES or TENnYSoN.
Showing Some Of the Odd Ways Of the
Famous Poet.


Famous Poet.
In the memoirs Of the late william
Alllnghan, the English poet, appear
some interesting "reminiscences OF Ten
nyson. Allingham's first sight Of him
was at Twickenham. where Tennyson
was then living. He says: Soon came
In tall, broad shouidered, swarthy
man, slightly STOPPING. with loose dark
hair and beard. He wore spectacles
and was obviously very nearsighted.
Hollow cheeks and the dark pallor OF
bis skin gave him an unhealthy appear
ance. He was a strange and almost
spectral figure The great man peered
close at me and then shook hands cor
daily, yet with a profound quietude
Of manner. He was then about forty
one, but looked much older"
In 1886 Allingham visited Tennyson
at the latter's home, Farringford, Ia
Freghwater, Isle Of Wight. One morn
ing they were talking on the downs to-
gether, and Allingham said that be felt
happy. Tennyson said gloomiiy, "I'm
not at all happy-very unhappy The
reason, as Tennyson afterward explain
ed, for his particular unhapplness was
bis uncertainty regarding the condition
and destiny OF man. Allingham was
very anxious to photograph him on
this visit. but Tennyson positively re-
fused. "You make bags under my
eyes" he said
At another time during this visit, as
Allinsham writes, they talked Of
dreams. 'Tennyson said: In my boy
hood ! had intuitiens Of immortality
inexpressiblel ! have never been able
TO express them. shall try some day,
said that l, too had felt something
of that kind, whereat Tennysons being
In one OF his less amiable moods.
growled: I don't believe you have.
You say II out OF rivalry"
Allingham describes Tennyson's fond
ness for strange antics, such as jump
Ing round and round like a pigeon. and
adds. "He is the only person I ever saw
who can do the most lndicrous things
without any loss Of dignity"
