Fl DAY.

Senator Baird introduced a concurrent
resolution to provide for the sale by the
State of the property known as the
Parchman or Suniower farm, which Is
the State penitentiary property, by. di-
viding it into lots or parcels convenient:
for sale and conveyance.
The House, by a vote of almost 2 to
1, voted to indefinitely postpone the bill
to exempt from taxation money loaned
at 6 per cent, either actual cash in bank,
solvent credits or vendors lien. This
was the Harrell bill which passed the
Senate three weeks ago. The House also
put a negative on the Mcdonald bill to
reduce the rate of compensation of the
State revenue agent from 20 to 10 per
cent on all collections through his de.
partment. The House refused to place
a tax on dogs, the majority holding that
while in theory the matter was all right,
in practice it would be a failure. The
House also passed the revenue bill fixing
the State tax levy at six mills for each
of the next two years. 1t refused, how
ever, to pass a bill authorizing the gov
ernor to borrow money to help in carry
ing on the State government.
Chairman Morrison, of the appropria-
ton committee, then called up the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College bill, for
the purpose of considering the Senate
amendments to that measure. He de-
clared that between all the institutions
they have been given more than $780,
600 more than they ever received be-
fore, and the House committee had, in
his opinion, been very liberal with all.
The amendments were then placed before
the House and all rejected

F~IFTY-FIRST DAY.

1t was a day of activity in both
branches. with the evident desire of
senators and representatives to buckle
down to work and clear the calendars
The most significant action of the day
was that of the senate in refusing to
concur in the House amendments to
the university and college appropriation
bills.
The senate also passed, after an inter
-esting debate, the bill to appropriate the
sum of S. 5000 for the purpose OF secur-
ing a silver service for the battleshlp
Mississippi, a measure that was defeated
in the house committee on approprla-
lions.
The senate, also, by a very positive
vote, passed the bill to repeal the Harri-
son county double court district bill,
which makes it final, the matter having
come up on a motion to reconsider, n
has already passed the house.
The house by a vote of So to 80 adopt
ed a resolution offered by Mr.. Moody
of Lowndes, the effect of which was to
call UP as a special order the house bill
providing for a 2h-cent passenger rate
an the state.
At the morning session the bill appro-
priating money to the Vicksburg State
Charity Hospital for the next two years,
the bill for the maintenance and sup
mort of the state insane hospital and
other appropriation measures passed.

En- route to Vladlvostok, three Of the
cars crossed Japan by road, distance
OF 20 miles. The Prot9s shipped oil

Arriving st Kobe, the Thomas,
though a tour OF Japan was not inclpd-
ed IN the prescribed route, tore across
the Flowery Kingdom and reshipped at
Tsurga for Viadivostok. 1t was here
that the American crew learned of the
allowance of thirty days given them
over the Protos and the probable with
drawal OF the De Dion from the race
under instructions from headquarters
in Paris; also. that all the other cars
had been ordered t. await the arrival

that came unheralded along the tracks.
The American car then suffered a Sc
rious accident and was forced to lie
idle for five days while the Germans
were drawing away from them.
At Chita the American car was oni,,

riders Of Baltimore and Richmond have
signifed their intention Of taking part
and the management hopes for others
from Philadelphia, New York, and even
Boston.

cided upon and IL is likely that several

number OF competitors. Then will come
a 15-miIe race for double and single
