Legislative Doings in Iowa.

Des Moines, Feb. 19. —The session Tuesday in both houses was uneventful. The senate again struggled with the age of consent bill. Senator Ellis, chairman of the judiciary committee, reported the substitute favored by a majority of the committee. The minority will not make a report, but will introduce amendments when the bill comes up for passage. Senator Druett introduced a bill to tax express companies. It has the same features as the Indiana law, which has been declared constitutional by the Indiana supreme court.
