 Convict Lease Bill.
Gov Donaghey is Anxiously Waiting for Bill and will Sign it as Soon as
 1t Reaches Him.

Little Rock, Jan. I8.-Special- Opening the second week of the General Assembly, the legislators today maintained the pace of last week and there promises to be plenty popping before the end of the week. There are measures enough prepared or in preparation, to keep the house and senate going for more than double the time al lotted for the transaction of the bus mess. The house this morning took up the cancellation of the convict lease bill, which was read twice Friday and made special order of business for this morning, and passed it without dissenting vote. The senate introduced a resolution on the bill, which was adopted and the bill then brought before the body. It was read twice and tomorrow morning will be ready for the signature of Gov ernor Donaghey. The chief ex- ecutive is anxiously waiting for the

bill and will sign it before the ink is dry upon the senate endorse ment. The committees of both houses were announced by Pres ident Martin and Speaker Brown at the morning session to- day, and the reference of bills which are on the calendar, will begin to be made to these committees today. The committees have been selected with as much a view to work as other branches of the general as sembly, aud they are expected to return the bills with haste, so as to keep the governor busy signing or vetoing them.

During the inauguration yesterday after noon notices were distributed among the new members of the board that chairman John R. lobe had called a special meeting of the board for 4:3o, at which superln tendent and a secretary was to be elected. The five members of the board, Chairman lobe, Governor Donaghey, Commissioner Tucker Secretary Ludwig and the attorney general attended.

 A motion was then made to no tify the senate at once of the ap pointment of the officials. Gov Donaghey asked for week in no tifying the senate, so he could look fully into the law.

Hundreds of applications for par don reach the office ot the governor, yet, few of them being granted they fail to reach the eyes of the public, one was received yesterday from Fort Smith asking for a par don for Ed Dickson, little negro on the state farm. The appeal is a pathetic one, but slipped through the office with little consideration, for the officers know the little negro and the number of months Fort Smith officers were bothered with him before getting him in the pen itentiary. On account of his youth Dixon was permitted to go ahead burglarizing stores and residences in Fort Smith for several years, but just as soon as he reached the Yell, creating levee district in Car dens Bottom. Seamster of Benton legal age he was railroaded to the penitentiary on the first oppor- tunity.
