Immediately upon the conclusion of
hia address the oath was administered
in usual form by Chief Justice Sim
mons. Ex-Governor Atkinson delivered

Dull In Home and Senate.
This being inauguration day both
houses ot the general assembly were
exceptionally quiet
The senate met at 10 o'clock, Presi
dent Dodson in the chair.
A resolution from Mr. Morrison was
Adopted authoring the messenger to ap
point an assistant doorkeeper for the
rear door of the messeuger’a room.
On motion of Mr. Terrell the senate
took a rece«s of 80 minutes.
At the expiration of the recess the re
port of the committee on ruloa was sub
mitted. It recommendedjhat the com
mittee of the last general assembly fot
the relief ot the supreme court be elimi
nated, and that a u«tw committee to be
known as the committee on the consti
tution be created. The report further
recommended that with these changes
the rules of the last general assembly
be adopted for the government of the
body. The resolution was adoptod.
A sealed communication from the gov
ernor was received and the senate wen!
into executive session to consider it.
The message contained tlio nomina
tion of \Y F. Way to !>e solicitor ot the
county court of Irwin tor the unexpirod
terra of two years from April 15, lb98.
Tho nomination was confirmed.
The message also asked leave to cor
rect an error made in a message sent in
yesterday. It nominated D. 13. Nichol
son for judge of the county court of
Wilcox. The senate confirmed the ap
pointment, thus giving him a place held
by another man. Tnis was an error, as
the governor intended to make him so
licitor for this court. The senato recti
fied the mistake.
Number of Rills Come t'p.
In the house, tho following resolution
was offered bv Mr. Beauchamp of Pike
aud unanimously adopted:
"That so much of the governor's mes
sage as refers lo education and school
books shali be referred to the committee
ou education, mi machot the message ai
refers to elections shall be referred to
the judiciary committee, and so much
as relers to taxation to thecomtmtteoou
finance.”
Mr. Hall of Bibb was granted leave to
introduce four bills providing for the
issuance of now i per cent bonds ta
take the nlaco of bouds now past duo.
Each of tne bills was read and referred
to the committee on fiuauce.
All of the bills are companion bills
and refer to the "Jenkins «>r iw»»—
tiou” bond- and the "McDonald or W.
& A. R. R ” bonds
The bonds referred to amount to
mbont $20,000. The convention bonds
were issued by Governor Jenkins to pay
the expenses of the constitutional con
vention of I sfifi The other bouds were
issued by Governor M--Daniel to the
contractors of the Western and Atlantic
railroad.
One set is now owned by a Mr. Scott
of New York and. the other by a Mr.
Hayes of N wporf, R. I.
For a number of years tho nuestion of
paying these bonds has been'before tho
legislature. Bills for their payment
have repeatedly been offered, referred
to the finance committee and reported
favorably, but have never been passed.
Mr. Hall's bills were referred.
placed in a hermetically sealed casket
immediately. Mr. Murphy also gave
orders that every precaution should be
taken to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. He said that extraordinary pre
cautions would be taken to this end.
Sent to Cuba by McKinley.
Colonel Waring had been sent to the
city of Havana as a special commis
sioner of this government to ascertain
tho exact sanitary conditions 'of that
city and to form ideas for the best
methods for putting the place iu first-
class sanitary shape. He was to report
to the president, and ou the day he re
turned he said that he expected to go
to Washington the next day. He said
be felt unwell, but it was not thought
ho had more than an ordinary illness.
He said that he had a great deal of in
formation which he thought would be
of service to the president.
The plan of the commission was to
place tho city of Havana aud the coasl
towns of Cuba iu such a good sauitary
condition that the recurrence of yellow
fever and its entrance into the gulf
clues of the United States would be
prevented.
Colonel Waring was apparently well
when he left Havaua and ho felt only
slightly ill daring the lattter part ot the
voyage, but when he reached his home
he was obliged to take to his bed. Then
it was discovered that he was suffering
from yellow lever. Ho was isolated in
bis apartments on the the ninth floor of
the Rutherford, the apartment house in
which he lived. Tiieie are nine familie!
in the house.

Nf.w Your, Oct. 20. — The cotton
market ojienod steady with prices 1 to ;!
points lower under heavy receipts, dis
appointing news from tho English cot

mum crop estimate und a very bearish
statement caused a number of discour
aged louga to unload scon alter the
opening.
Tile Lear crowd were not slow to see
their opportunity and, backed up l>v N
European nulling orders, hammered tho
market vigorously tor a time. Price!
went off slowly under this pressure,
with the market feverish and fairly
active. The short factious were stimu
lated also by favorable weather report!
and news relating to harvostitig opera
tions.
