 The Senate
 The proceedings in the senate. while not lacking interest, were tame in comparison with the activities of the house. There was some discussion in the morning over a bill to relieve Mexicans fifty years of age of the ob- struction to voting placed in their way by the educational qualification law. an extension of a privilege granting Mexican residents who became citizens of Arizona under the Gadsden treaty. The bill was opposed, and after an at tempt to amend it by requiring that only Mexicans sixty years of age should be so relieved the bill was passed.

 Mir.

It is expected that the land bill will be disposed of in the senate tomorrow and be sent to the house.
