THE CASHIER SHORT. He Was Not Known to Howe Any Evil Habits. Atlanta, Deo. 7.—(Special.)—Today was one of sensational occurrences In the legslature. First, the house was thrown into a flurry by the submission of a plan by Speaker Fleming whereby the question of constitutionality could not he ra sed on the exposition nppropr’atlon. The proposition was hardly made before it was accepted and $17,500 given to the agricultural department for u state ex hibit at the b g exposition. This aotion bad Sartlly been taken when the news came into the bouee that the Judiciary committee of tho sen ate had tabled the general regstratlon bill for tho session. Later on the Boolsn bill aimed at the prise the Southern system was with drawn by Its author. Then when tile house met in the af ternoon It found Itself In tho midst of a bitter fight w.tb the senate on ac count of the action of the senate com mittee n throttling the registration bill. In a spirit of retaliation the house jud oisry committee had refused to read the Venable insurance bill, tho pet moasuro of the upper house, a second time, but openly declared that that measure would be held back until tho senate committee took up the registra tion W.1L nils feature of the day Involves the legislature in a sensat on tfiat may de velop Into a chapter of political h story to be handled w.th gloves by future generations. LEGISLATION IS BLOCKED. To fully understand the situat on, it Is necessary to refer lo tho fact that Speaker Fleming has been the leading champion of the registration bill. In view of the great general Importance of the question and the special import ance of having a registration law to guide tlie special congress onal election to be held in the Tenth district ,be has devoted himself with unCrlng energy to the perfrofon and p.itv-igo of the bill. It is tin- one piece of legislation of pre-eminent p’roin.ncnce in the Iioiwc, and yesterday, when the bill -was passed, the bouse oonsdered (hat it had done a good day’s work for tho people of the state. The members nil felt that they had done their duty well In passing a bill that would make un clean elections a UlDg of the past in this state. Just as the rogistrafon bill Ins been the chief work of the house, so his (he Venable Insurance bill been regarded in the senate. It was the ono tli.ng to which President Venable devoted ills great energes, and when the senate passed the bill they felt that they de served the thanks of the people, for wboee sake they had boarded the Southeastern Tariff Association Kon In his den. At this point the Pcpul su of the two bouses appear to take a hind. In the house the Populists have fought the registration bill unmialngly. Es pecially has the opposlt on from the members from the Terfrb district teen strong. They did not want a registra tion It. 11 pasted, and yesterday were sorely disapponled when It went through But the exposition appropriation gave th* Populists an opportunity. Coffee ^ ^ that tv. F.

TMs afternoon, when Mr. Venable heard of She action of (he house Judi ciary committee In retaliating on the senate by refusing to put Me Mil be fore the (aouse, he called upon Speaker Fleming, who was presiding over (he house. The two held a lively conversa tion. In width Mr. Fleming told the president or the senate pointedly that the house Intended to have her rights at dhe hands of the eeaate. If the* body attempted to crush the registra tion Mil the House would retaliate on the Insurance bill. President Venehle (hen got a friendly member to request (be house to take up the bill, but the house overwhelmingly voted (he mo tion dawn, and tt remains In the com mittee's hands. Speaker Fleming argues that If the senate Hbs not time to oonafder the registration bill, wMoh was Ihe ex- cuse given by the committee In tabling It. neither has She house time to pass upon suoh an Important measure as the Venable Insurance Ml, which has heen under discussion by the senate ever since iht session berm.
