Members of the late opposition called

on Mr. Fairbanks to-day and congratulated him pleasantly on the terimnaton of the contest.

He declined to be Interviewed and said that bis speech to the caucus contained all that

he cared to say in a formal way. Mr. Fairbanks left this afternoon for

the East on an important case at law, and w.ll return probably et the end of the

Senator Shively’s Bill Changing the Control of Prisons. One of the important bills introduced in the Legislature, that of Senator Shively, providing for “the better government, control, management and general supervision of the State’s prisons at Michigan City and Jeffersonville; providing for the apphbitment of boards of control for said prisons and fixing the terms of office of tha members of the board of control.” The bill provides that the office of board of prison directors be abolished, and that all persons occupying the office of member of board of control of the State’s prisons be removed. The bill places the management of the prisons In the hands of a board of control for each of the prisons, consisting of three members to be appointed by the Governor, not more than two of whom shall be appointed from members of the same political party. It provides that all members shall reside In the district of the prison for which they are appointed; shall hold their offices for three years. It is also provided that no . one shall be eligible An either of the boards of control who has been a contractor or is the relative of a contractor in either prison, or is interested either directly or indirectly In any business carried on In either of the prisons. The terms are to be so arranged as to require one appointment on each board each year. The bill directs that the appointment of wardens and assistants shall be without regard to political affiliations, but prescribes no rules for appointment.

The. first call for bills was completed at 10 o’clock. Ninety-four bills had been in-troduced—forty-four yesterday and fifty to da ^ | ^ 01|ed Haaty Action. Among the Senate Mils taken up was the one by Senator Ellison authorising the issue of $500,000 of bonds with which to complete the Allen county court-house, th* Allen county representatives desired the bill passed by the House immediately, and by a vote of 51 to 37 the rules were suspended. Representative Ryan, of Allen, said It was the unanimous desire of the citizens of the county that the bill be passed. The county, he aald, bad taken * vote on the question. Many of the members were afraid of th* MU, and Representatives Reynolds and Harris

Representative Laxbert expressed the opinion that th* bill might effect other counties, and he urged the House to re-

qu.re the MU to take Its regular course, and stand investigation. Tne bill was

finally referred.

_*he next Senate bill provided a change of time for holding court in the counties of Dubois and Pike. Representative Reynolds took a stand against passing any of these Senate bills Without reference, and several members took the same position, and the House refused to suspend

the rules. 'J < Passed After All.

The Senate bill changing the time of holding court in the counties of Scott. Jennings and Ripley waa passed Immediately after the House had refused to pass the bill for Dubois and Pike counties, indicating, some of the older members said, that the House really did not know Just what it wished to do.

Albany, N. Y.. January Ui.-tThe Legislature is to re-aasemhle this evening. The members will, to-morrow evening, hold caucuses for the selection of a successor to United States Senator Hill, whose term expires in March. The task it not likely to be an arduous one, the preliminaries being all arranged in advance, so far as the majority are concerned, all that remains to be done being to formally name Thomas C. Platt for the position. The Union League Club’s delegation, in the-interest of Joseph H. Choate’s candidacy, reached th# city this afternoon.

Odds Offered Ttanf He Is the Best Horseman In the Legislature. Special to The Indianapolis New*. Jeffersonville, Ind., January 13.—Down here in Clark county Senator Watson is one of the most popular men among the Republicans. The Senator is a devoted field sportsman and perhaps the beat horseman in the Indiana Senate, if not m nny legislative body in the United States. He Is as plucky on horseback as any man ever was, and The News correspondent la willing to wager that he can ride ’down any man in Indianapolis and jump higher over a fence and^stick than the best English fox-hunter. In fact, Senator Watson Is a devotee of the gentle art of fox-hunting, and the tooting of the horn Is sure to bring him out. He has been seen to Jump a staked-and-ridered fence In pursuit of Reynard, which none of the bovs were willing to tackle, and many a time has he missed his dinner following the mellow note of the hounds.

Tw Legislators Who Drink. The old drink quesUon came up again in the Indiana Senate this morning in an amusing way. A majority of the Senators received letters from the Senate postmaster, sent from * liquor house In Terre Haute. The letters were all the same. They conveyed the information that “under separate cover, four drinks of our celebrated pure rye whisky.” We see by the press that you are a memberelect of the Legislature. While at Indianapolis yoii can find the pure rye at the following hotels and saloons.” Then followed a list of the places where the “celebrated” pure rye could be had. The letter concludes with: “If you drink, do not drink any other whisky. pure rye nevei* leaves any bad effect.

Senator Allison’s Oundldate. Washington, D. C., January 13.—Sena-

tor Allison says that the report that President-elect McKinley had decided to Invite ex-Repreeentativ# Wilaonrof Iowa, to a place in his Cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture, at his (Senator Alliwn’s) suggestion, has for’ It* foundation th# fact that he had recommended Mr. WU»on for this office to Mr. McKinley. » He said, however, that he had received no verification of the report that th# nomination had been decided on. t The Senator added that Major McKinley had asked him If he knew a practical farmer from the West. He hod then suggested Mr. Wilson, whom Mr. McKinley had known as a member of Ahe House, but that the President-elect had not indoated any decision. ”1 hope, however,” he added, “that Mr. Wilson’s fitness has so grown upon Major McKin-i key as to decide him to make the aonointJ

Had the mines closed during th# days of war; had they ceased to yield In the days of resumption, the history of ou* country might have hem changed. Should they cease now to send their glittering millions into th# avenues of trade, It would take a lurid brush to. paint the disaster that would come to our finances.

Montreal, January 13.—For several days put the Canadian Pacific railway officials have been trying to locate G. V. Nickon, who bqught a Ucket on November 1® from Minneapolis to New York, but who. while on his way East, was missed shortly after passing St. Martin Junction. His luggage was brought to Montreal, and after waiting two weeks.for the owner to turn up, his valise waa opened, and revealed the fact that he had bought a ticket for Hamburg. The Grand Trunk officials have a similar case. On November 1 a man. giving the name of Peter Nansen, was transferred from the Canadian Pacific railway to the Grand Trunk. He also held a ticket from Minneapolis to New York, and wu en route to Germany, but owing to. his eccentric conduct, he was put in Jail for eight days. He left a silver watch. $45 and a certified check wl’h the police and a valise and box with the Grand Trunk authorities. aU of which remain unclaimed.

He Insisted That It Should Be Without Any DUplay. Olympia. WMh.. January 13.—Govern-or-elect John R. Rogers was Inaugurate!! this afternoon. Heretofore, retiring and Incoming Governors have always headed a procession of State officials, in carriages. to the Capitol where the inaugural ceremonies are held. A committee of arrangements planned the ceremonies this time In conformity with the established custom, but Governor-elect Rogers refused to consider the carriage proposition, saying he preferred to start his official career with the utmost simplicity. He walked from his boarding-house to the Capitol as if he were going on an ordinary mission, accompanied by a number of his friends. The military feature* of the Inauguration have been dispensed with, at Rogers's request, and there was no parade. The Governor will take no part in th# inaugural ball, contenting himself with receiving the pubHc at a reception in the evening. The Governor’s position with regard to the arrangements has entirely upset the committee on program, and has caused no end of comment.
