THE LEGISLATURE IS NOU REA
l»V FOR BUSINESS.
Charleston, Jan. 15.—There Isn’t
niuch to report Both houses got to
work soinowhat leisurely. but as
booh as the mill whoels started the
grist becanfc) prolific.
Some of the measures were of a
general application, but scattered
among them were many bills which
were only Intended to accomplish a
local purifoso. The Governor has a
lot of measures in reserve, which will
be presented later on. Some of them
aro along lines laid down In his
message, and will be withheld a short
time to see If any member on his
own uccouut Introduces such a meas
ure. If none Is so forthcoming then
the executive measures will be pre
sented.
Charleston people aro rather fear
ing than nctunlly anticipating a flood
this year. Usually the legislature
brings a flood.
Senator Elkins Is hore. And the
senatorial caucus has been held, and
now for business.
All talk of opposition to Elkins
Is merely space writing. He was the
unanimous and hurrah candidate,
and after a handshake all around the
pcene closed, and hum drum took Its
plaoe.
The lobby Is here, but not a very
high spirited crowd, rather on the
thirty cent itlan.
TE□OPS ORDER
IS MODIFIED.
PRESIDENT. IN’ SPECIAL MI'S

IN\ *. MIUTV OF OBNOX
IOUS ULAIHE.
Washington, Jan i : Pi Id • i
Roosevelt today sent to the . ■
special message regarding the
Brownsville incident, which gives
the additional evidence collected by
Assistant Attorney General Purdy
and Major Brocksom, who were rent
to Texas by the President to Investi
gate tho affair.
The President submitted with his
message various exhibits, including
maps of Brownsvillo and Fort
Brown, a bandoleer, 33 empty shells,
7 ball cartridges, picked up in the
stroets a few hours after the shoot
Ing; 3 steel jacketed bullets and |
somo scraps of the castings of other j
bullets picked out of the homos of i
tho of the houses into which they j
had been fired.
POSITIVE OF SOLDIERS’ GUILT.
Tho President declares that the
evidence la fiositlve that tho outrage
of August 13th was committed by
some of the colored troops that have
been dismissed and that some or all
of the individuals of tho three com
panies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
had knowledge of tho deed and have
shielded the guilty ones.
Tho negro troops are referred to
by the President in his message ns
"midnight assassins,’* and ho de
dares that very few If any of the
soldiers ho dismissed "without hon
or" could have been ignorant of what
occurred.
PART OF ORDER REVOKED .
That part of "Die order whtch bars
the soldiers from all civil employ
ment under tho government Is re
voked by the President. Tills clause,
tho President snys. was lacking In
validity.
There Is a eertain type of mind
which sees bacilli Iti stones, germs
In tho running brooks, and disease
in everything. These arc tlie people
who tell you not to breath because

the distance exceeds more than five
miles. In the latter case a charge
of ton cents can ho made for any
distance less than flvo miles. Mr.
t'rnlg in his hill makes no mention
of branch lines, which, It seems, haft
hoen the hone of contention between
those who do not favor a two cent
far under any circumstances and
thoso who favor it on the trunk
lines.
The delegate from Pleasnnt is an

Tor ten yoars. Ho emigrated to

OF POLIO A MY.
The first volco raised In the Hon
ato In defense of Rood Rmoot’s right
to retain his sent ns Senator from
Utah, was that of Senator Hopkins,
of Illinois.
In a speech ho declared that tho
Mormon church was undergoing a
change for the better.
“Reed Smoot Is an apostle of this
higher and better ‘Mormonlsm,’ M
said Mr. Hopkins.
“He stands for the sacrod things
In tho ctjurch, and against polygamy
and all the kindred vices connected
with that loathsome practice. In his
position ns a member of the church
and as an apostle and preacher of
the doctrines of the church, he has
done more to stamp out this foul blot
upon tho civilisation of Utah, and tho
other territories where polygamy has
been practiced, than any thousand
men outside of tho church.
“I dissent In toto from the conclu
sions reached by tho Senator from
Michigan (Mr. Burrows), regarding
the Influence of the Mormon church
at the iResent tlmo on the temporal
affairs of Its people."
He also took Issue on the conclu
sion that he sought to establish that
Jolygamy Is still a part of the religion
and practice of the Mormon church,

Senator linlley Is prepared for tho
cxpoHuro of many large flnancfbil
transactions with H. Clay IMorco and
David K. Francis. In a guarded
statement recently he admitted bor
rowing moro than $100,000 from
I’lerco at one time. This week Mr.
l''rnncls, In an intoorvlcw, casually
mentioned that he had burned large
sums to Mr. Malloy.
It Is alleged that these announce
ments aro made in order to forestall
dlscloRurea of alleged complicity with
the Watcrs-lMorce Oil Company that
were asserted to be certain In event
of an Inquiry by tho Legislature. The
result Is In doubt.
Tho weak place In tho opinion Is
tho want of a candidate. Tho linlley
suilporters assert that aH soon ns the
opposition confers on a man for the
Senate the back of their flight will be
broken.
Oov. T. M Campbell, former Oov
J. II. Sayers, former Senator Horace
Chilton and several others are men

Tho investigation is expected to be

of both houses Is favorable to Mr.
