SHELDON IN HOUSE.
Governor of Nebraska Makes
Speech.

Governor Sheldon of Nebraska
visited the house and senate this
morning, and was discovered in the
house by Representative Leland who
moved that a committee be appointed
to escort him to the chair. Speaker
Simmons appointed Leland, Mitchell
and Cunningham, and they grabbed
the Nebraskan as he was making his
escape.
Governor Sheldon addressed the
house for about five minutes He
praised the architecture of the SEN
ate chamber; said the state offices
looked good to him, and expressed the
hope that Nebraska would clean up
its state house and make it look as
we'll as this one. He also, praised the
legislature, and said that Kansas and
Nebraska were so near alike that a
Kansas legislature could be trusted to
make laws for the state of Nebraska
at which the house cheered.
The house Of representatives will
finish up its business this evening.
Most of the members are likely to go
home tonight. Some of them have
gone already.
There will be nothing much doing
Friday, though the session will prob
ably not come to an official end till
saturday noon. With tonight will end
the active consideration of bills.
This morning the house passed a
lot of bills, some in omnibus and
some singly
Three of the important bills passed
were the senate bills by Senator
Quincy, two relating to the state bank
commissioners department. and one
changing the state fiscal agency from
New York to Topeka. There was
not any very serious opposition to
these bills.
The house concurred in the senate
amendments to house bills 129 and
1872, but refused to concur in amend
ments to the bill for the insurance of
bank deposits, for technical reasons.
The bill is a house bill, and technically
the house can not consider it. So a
conference committee will agree to
to the senate amendments and the re-
port will be adopted.
This afternoon the principal discus
sion is expected on the bill for the tax
on mortgages, which has been passed
by the senate.
The ways and means committee will
recommend an appropriation of $500
to pay the states share of expense in
the primary election law

RECEIVER ASKED FOR.
Petition Filed Against the Consolidated
Steamship Company.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 30.-Petitions
for receivers for the Metropolitan
Steamship company. the Eastern
Steamship and the Consolidated
Steamship lines of Maine. were filed
in the federal court today. The court
has issued restraining orders to pro-
tect the properties, to prevent inter-
ference or intermeddling in any way
with the affairs or properties of the
corporations. ~ -
The Consolidated Steamship COM
pany,. chartered under the laws OF
Maine, was formed by Charles w
Morse to carry out his plans looking
to the control of practically all coast
steamship business. The aggregate
capitalization of the company consists
of $60,000.000 collateral trust 4 per
cent bonds and an equal amount in
stock. making the grand total $780,
100000.
Up to within comparatively few
months the ambition of Morse appear
ed to be in fair way toward realiza-
ton. One after another, half dozen
of the big companies which operated
steamship lines along the Atlantic coast
and from New York to Cuba and Porto
Rico had come under his, direct COM
mand. With the financial crash of Oc-
tober, however. support was withdrawn
from his steamship enterprises and
talk of a reorganization gained wide
circulation. AS a result of the trou-
bles which came to the big holding
company the January interest of the
$50, 900 900 issue of collateral bonds, was
not paid.

Burbank Now Grows Tubers on a

Santa Rosa. Cal, Jan. 30.-Seedless
oranges, seed1ess apples, the creation
Of new flowers, the production OF the
thornless edible cactus-these wonders
constitute only part of the miracles
which Luther Burbank has performed
at his Santa Rosa estate in California.
His chief work has been with the po-
tato. He created the Burbank potato,
which, it is estimated, has added to the
wealth of the nation upward of $780,
600, 900. His latest success is with the
socaHed aerial potatoes. He grows po-
tatoes on a tomato vine in the air. in
stead of in the ground While the po-
tato and tomato are very closely allied
in family ties, being indeed not far
separated blood relations. they are as
far apart as the poles when it comes to
any satisfactory ama1gamation, but
some very remarkable results have de-
veloped in his attempts to cross the
two. For example. he has produced
tomatoes from the seeds of plants pol
lenated only from potato pollen. He
has produced what he aptly calls
aerial potatoes" most peculiar in
form, growing on Burbank potato
vine, grated on a tomato plant. These
open air potatoes are of different
shapes and sizes. as we'll as colors.
