NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 18.-
Not since the General Assembly of
1891 elected in 1890, the year that the
Farmers Alliance was at high tide
ana elected It's President, John Price
Buchanan, Governor of the State, have
the farmers so largely predominated
as they do in the present General
Assembly. There are many farmers
in the Senate, where the lawyers have
always had the lead, but 1t is in the
House that the farmers exert the DOM
inant influence OF the ninety-nine
members of the House Of Representa-
tatives forty-six are tillers or the soil,
although a half dozen of these give
some other as their occupation in
addition to calling themselves farm
ers. But the full number of forty-six
state that farming is their principal
occupation or means of living. There
are of course, more farmers In Ten
nessee than there are members OF
any other class or occupation, but
half of the entire population of the
State are not farmers, nothing like
that percentage of the total popula-
ton till the soil, but nearly half of
the Representatives are farmers,
showing that the rural sections are
unusually well represented in this as
sembly.
In the legislature of four years ago
there were about as many lawyers as
there are farmers in the present Gen

eral Assembly, but this time the law.
yers are way behind their colleagues
from the rural sections, there being
only twenty-five lawyers, or just one
fourth of the membership OF the
House, in the list Of Representatives.
In other words there are almost twice
as many farmers as there are lawyers.
As stated this condition has probably
pever existed except in 1891.
There are physicians, and merchants
and newspaper men to make up the
balance with a few scattering profess
sions and occupations represented by
one or two members. In the whole
list theRf are half dozen newspaper
men and but one Journalist" Per-
haps the most unique occupation given
by the officers or members In the
official register is that opposite the
name of the pretty assistant engross-
ing clerk, Miss Elizabeth Harlan She
gives her age as twenty-five and her
occupation as "housekeeper This
ought to make mighty fine comoina-
ton. The oldest member in the list
is T. Bun Carson, of Lauderdaie coun-
ty. whose age is given at 80. There
are two members of the House, Moore,
OF HAYWOOD and Draper, of Jackson,
who are lust old enough to be eligible.
In the Senate Hearn H. Lane, OF VIII
hanson. is the youngest member, hav-
ing arrived at the constitutional age
of thirty just prior to taking his seat
in that body.
When 1t comes to the religious al
fliations Of the members of the House
the Methodists, as is always the case
in Tennessee, predominant. However
the Methodists show decrease az
compared with their membership II
the house two years ago. In 19Ul
there we're thirty-four Methodists II
the House. or one more than third
OF the entire membership. This time
there are twenty-nine Methodists anC
twenty-five Baptlsts. The Methodist
and Baptlsts together compose one
more than majority of the entire
membership of the House. There are
eleven Presbyterians in the House
and the Church of Christ has eigh
adherents. There are four Catholic
Representatives. All of the churches
practically in the State are represent
ed by from two to four or Ave mem

CHICAGO, March 17.-Considerable
decentralization developed in the wheat
market late in the session today and
prices declined more than cent from
the high point of the day, owing to
the general liquidation. The close
was weak, although prices were still
shade to &c to sc above the final
quotations of the previous session.
Corn, oats and provisions also closed
weak.
A sharp rebound from the final
weakness of the previous session oc-
CURED in wheat prices at the open
ing today, initial quotations showing
gains of 1sc to AQBc. Many Of the
smaller traders who had sold short
yesterday were eager bidders for
wheat when trading began, and with
only moderate offerings the market
acquired additional strength during
the first hour. The trade was bullish-
ly affected by decided falling off in
receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth.
The Liverpool market was also not so
weak as had been generally expected,
prices being off only Is to SD. To
ward the middle of the day several of
the leading bulls began to sell freely,
and this started general selling, which
resulted in a quick decline May
dropped from $1.16A to $1151s, while
July sold of from $105A to $1.O3A.
