The following bills were introduced : an By Sodern To amend tho statute re- garding grand and petit jurie By Suter—Defining the habilities of rail- road companies and abolishing the fellov servant doctrine and providing attorney fees in such action to recover.

After the joint convention the house took a recess until 2 o'clock. For the relief of James H. Recommended for Passage. At the afternoon session the house went ¢ into committe of the whole to take up the special order of cousideration of bills on the general file. The first, bill was No. 11, the anti-Pinker- ton bill introduced by Irwin. A full hour | was devoted toit, but it was not changed 3 except 80 as to make tho meaniug cleaver, ) after which it was decided to recommend it for passage. Barry felt called upon during the discus- sion to question Cornish’s good faith in seeking to amend the ill. Cornish retorted 3 by saying that he hoped the gentleman | would think more of him and that he would be able to reciprocate that fecling when they knew each other better. House roll No. 41, Lynch's bill, setting E forth the liability of corporations for in- juries received by their employes, was recommended for passage without amend- | ment. | House roll No. 74, Suter’s hill regulating railroads and compelling the building of transfer switches, s taken up and dis- cussed at length, after which it went over for further consideration at the request of the mover of the bill. Brought on ilot Argument. House roll No. 20, Dobson's usury bill, pre- cipitated trouble. Farnsworth was opposed toit on the ground that it was imprac- ticable, and would result in hardship to the borrower. Dobson jumped on the gentleman from | Keya Paha rough shod, and denounced him —wga [ | as recreant to the trust reposed in him. Ho | ‘R declared that if Farnsworth was recreant | to_his duty he would be doomed to eternal § “obvilion.” Cornish called attention to the manner of pounding the independents into line at the | session two years ago, and deprecated a re- turn to it at this session. Howe and Ricketts made pleas for the bill, setting forth the gricvous wrongs practiced under the present system that alloas the taking of all household furniture under the chattel mortgage that is given to insure the payment of interest ut the rate of 150 pe cent. Rhodes opposed 1t as drafted, stating that it would not provent the evil now ex- q) ists. He took Dobson to tusk for berating 2 Farnsworth, and maintained that th Tarmers allidnce did not demand the passage | of such a bill as the one proposed Stevens, who was in the chair, at once called the speaker down, asking him by what authority he made his statement s to the | recommendations of the report of the | armers alliance. | Rhodes produced a roll of papers, stating that he held the report in his hand. What the Farmers Want, Stevens immeaiately discovered that he was thinking of the roport of two and three years ago, and begged pardon for the inter- ruption, but Rhodes nailed him again on the last statement, saying that it was true that the alliance had demanded these things | two and thiee . years ago, but H bad found out that this law 'y was not what it wanted, and had expressed a wish for something alto gether different this year. He said that he H would say no more on the subject at this time if the mover would allow the matter to go over for a day without prejudice in orde 1o give the spewker an opportunity to make such amendments as he desired 10 mako, but Dobson would not consent It was fiually tajen out of Dobson's hands, however, by th ion of a motion to riso and report nd ask leave to sit again on tho The committee rose and | reportod on the bills uader consideration and adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

Frank Roberson's Interesting Lecture on “Land of the Rising San, Pereival Lowen in his wonderfully well vrritten book, “The Soul of the Far East,” says: *The Japanese makes love to nature, and it almost seems as if nature heard his silent prayer and smiled upon him in accept- ance, as if the love light lent her face the added beauty that it lends the maid's. For nowhere in this world, probably, is she lov- lier than in Japan; a climate of long happy means and short extremes, months of spring and months of autumn, a land of flowers where the lotus and the cherry, the plum and the wistaria grow wantonly side by side; a land where the bamboo em- bosoms the maple, where the pine at last has found it palm tree, and the tropic and the temperate zones forget their separating identity in one long self-obliterating kiss," and it was of this country, rich in a history of twenty centuries, that Mr. Frank Rober- ked last evening at the Lininger gal- audience that followed him ngs over the “land of the ris ing sun" with pleasing interest Interesting as the lecture was, full of bright bits of fancy, of brilliant descriptions of the Latins of the oricnt, of towns of temples, pagodas, of the colossal statue of Buddha, the dai butou of Fuji yama, the divine mountain, tho thrown upon the canvass added material the enjoyment of the lecture, for it gaye Roberson's listene @ intelligent idea of this wonderful t lies across the cific Dressed in the costume of a native of Japan, with the ever present wmbreila and fan, indispensible adjuncts to tho Japanese toilot, Mr. Roberson in a modest way o ried o room full of people with him on his three months’ tour of the mikado's empire, and it is quite safe to say that not one regretted Being part of the company that made the trip ciccroned by this_young man who has a bright fature before him as a pop- wlar lecturer, The eighty and odd views shown were colored to nature, and it is safe to sy that more people know something of the islands of porcelain —of Shikishima-~the country of the chrysanthemums, this morn ing than eyer before.

Jan, 26.—There is | a diversity of opinion, not only among | the senators, but among the members | of the committee on privileges and elections | as to the exact standiug of Mr. Martin of Kansas, who is credited with being the sen- ator-elect from that state to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Plumb and now temporarily filled by Mr. Perkins, by appointment of the governor. The appear- ance of Mr, Martin at the senate chamber | bearing the certificate of the governor may be looked for any day, and may precipitate a prolonged and bitter election contest similar | to those of some years ago. The fact that | every vote in the senate will be contested by | the demoerats in furtherance of their inten- tion to, if possible, organize the next senate, gives the case of Mr. Martin immediate im. portance. 1t has escaped the mind of some of the members of the committee that the Kunsas | election was to fill the vacaucy caused by death of Mr. Plumb, whose term of of- did not expire until the 4th of Maurch, 1805, and that Mr. Perkins, the present in- cumbent, wis oniy serving until the legie ve this | many | ture should ‘mest in regular session and choose his sucpgssor. As soon as that su cessor has beon! fegularly and legitimatoly elected, Mr. Pethins censes to be a United States senator. Uuder the peculiar condi tions that exist in Kansas, the probable ac | tion of the senaje becomes an interesting | matter for conf®ture. The question is now | being asked, will the senate recognize tho certificate issued by the governor of tho state, in which two legislatures aro contest- | ing for recognitipn and both claiming to have been logally orgAhized? 1t is at this point that even the members of the committes | disagree and fail to interpret the procedents | alige 11 g Ong Member's O on. One prominent member of the eommittee on privileges and clections thinks the .pres as of the legality of the sentation of the'@ertificate will be taken primafacia evidence election and that upon this the new memb | may be seated. Iu caso of a contest, the member himself not voting, the sonate will | pass upon the case on its merits | Another member, whe has given o great deal of attention to these con tested cases, says that body must of itself | take cognizance of the existence of the dual legislature of Kansas, which is sufficient | to put the title of the man holding | the certificates under a cloud and cause the | semmate to refrain from swearing him in un til the cloud has lifted and the senate def mines which body sitting as a legislature is | entitled to select the senator from Kansas | Under this view of the case, which it is b lieved is held by the majority of the commit- tee, the credentials of Mr. Martin will be | sent to the committee on privileges and elec tions and remain there until the mooted ques tion is disposed of. In the meantime M. | Perkins wiil hold the seat appointed until his successor | aualified to which he was is elected and Mr, Perkins is not, from all accounts, dis posed to forego his stat in the senate with out a strugrle, and will not cease his resist ance to judgment of ouster until ho and | the republican members of the senate are | satisfied that the credentials of the senator from Kansas are good and that he was chosen by a body duly organized. So it ¢ happen that in the event of this sort of ontest Mr. Perkins may remain in the | senate until the close of the present con gress; it is just possible, too, that Mr, Mar tin may refrain from presenting himsclf untilafter the organization of the next sen- ate. XED THE TIME, On February 9 and 10 the silver Repoal Will Bo Discussed - Washington Notes. WasiiNaton, D. C., Jan. 20.—By mutual agreement between the free silver democrats and anti-silver democrats there will be a con- sideration in the house on the9th and 10th of February of the s Andrew-Cate ban or question, with the ug and Sherman bullion repeal bill as the basis of consideration and of possible action. A resolution reached the rules committee this morning and this after. | noon both sides to the silver question were called before Messrs, Crisp and Catchings | and McMillan, the democratic members of | the committee. The resolution had by inad | vertence named February 8 as the day | which under the constitutional electoral vote | for the president, must unted, and both pro-silver and anti-sitver men were w ing to concede that the election of Grover velind was more important th | silver question to the dem change in the date . essity In the house Mr: Bacon and his supporters will move to amend the report so as to have cloture ordered by tho house. This course will be resisted by Mr. Bland and the free coinage men, aided probably by a good many | others, if the motion is made, as it is a matter_of speculation, but it will require a great deal of work to carry the motion for cloture. Wants the Sugar Trust Prosecuted. | Mr. Hopkins of 'Penusylvania introduced in the house toduy a resolution directing the attorney general to inform that body wha the persons originating aud controlling the American Sugar, Refining company or Sugar trust were not proceaded against as are other persons chieged with crime. “The democratitt majority of the committee on rules has deédided ‘to report back the Fellows resolutinn! “providing for an investi- gation of the Panhma railroad and canal matter, with an amendment dimiting the inquiry to the effect of recent operations on American commerce and providing for an examination of the trafic agreements made between the Pacific Mail Steamship com- pany and the transcontinental railronds nd their bearing upon the steamship sub- sidy act. Will Rush the Measure Through. Tt is the intention of the friends of the anti-option bill to make quick work of that measure when it is passed by the senate on next Tuesday and is upon the speaker’s desk in the house on Wednesaay or Thursday. Tnstead of asking fora conference with a view to a compromise upon the senate amendments they will aslk to take the bill from the speaker’s desk and_concur in the amendments withont pralonged debate. Th fear that should the bill go to a conferenc committes there might be delay and conten- tions and that it would be lost in the'legis- lative blockade. % Washington Notes. All matters relating to the resolution of- fered by Mr. Burrows proposing an_investi- gation of the Whisky trust have been re- ferred to Mr. Reed, one of the republican members of the committee on rules, to look over. The democratic members are not in- clined to report a recommendation for an in- vestigation, preferring simply to refer it to the judiciary committeo for_ consideration, but if Mr. Roed states he believes an inves: tigation should be ordered it is likely that this course will be adopted. It will be con- ducted by the judiciary committee if ordered, Nominations: Alex C. Bishop, judge of probate in the county of Weber, Utah. Wil liam D.
