( Special Tele gram. ) The first fight of the acsalon came up today Irv the senate on a Joint resolution to repeal article xx of the constitution and nubmlt to tlio people at the next tsencral election. A number of bills were Introduced In the senate providing for amendments of the election laws and purity of the ballot.

A number of bills were also presented In the house providing for reform of the ballot and for punishment of election enemies.

They will organize as soon as they can BO- cure the attendance of the old secretary nnd the records of the ofllce , possibly Mon day. Senator Palmer took advantage of the first opportunity to Introduce the railroad mrns- uro on which ho made the principal part of his campaign , and It was given Its first leading In the nenato yesterday afternoon. The joint resolution Introduced In the house by Representative Olcson for an amendment of the constitution , making full citizenship a qualification for suffrage , Is largely duo to the fact that under the prra- tnt law numbers of foreigners are rushed In and their first papers paid for by cam paign committees just about election time , and this often gives a partisan advantage on this vote where It could bo secured by the votco of "gehulno" citizens.

AIIGUINC ; WATSO.VS COVI'HST CASK. I.nfe Ciinillilate for Vice I'ri-Hlilent Seekx u Sent In ( In * IIollHe. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. Arguments In the election contest of Thoinaa E. Watson , late candidate for vice president onlho populltt ticket , against James C. Black of the Tenth congressional district ot Georgia , were begun today before the house elections committee. It was thought Mr. Watson would bo pres ent , but he did not put In an appearance. The sitting member , Mr. Black , was among those who heard the arguments of a formid able array of counsel , Messrs. Cross , West , Glenn and Rountrco appearing for Watson nnd Meesrs. Cummlngs , Lamar , Cohen and Wright for Black. Mr. Glenn. In behalf of Watson , argued that the entire vote of the city of Augusta should be thrown out Jbccawie of a number of alleged Irregularltlcn in registration and of the ballot boxes , lack of representation on the boards , etc. In behalf of Black the entire regularity of the V election waa argued by Mr. Cummlngs , who V maintained that the entire theory of Wat- N son's case that a widespread conspiracy of fraud existed , was not justified by the facts. The committee Is not likely to vote on the contest for the present. The arguments took a wide range , going into the general political conditions of the south nnd the progress of the populist party. Mr. Glenn contended that Watson exempli fied this new clement , which had turned Its back on the old regime represented by the wealth and aristocracy of the south. Tl\o latter clement looked upon the new comers as revolutionists and every power t of the old machine , ho said , was directed A * toward crushing them. Whtlo conceding I Representative Black's personal Integrity , Mr. Glenn asserted that Mr. Black was a beneficiary of the methods employed by the old regime ot the south to perpetuate Ita power. \ortli DnUotn .Senatorial Situation.

The senate re publicans met In caucus , perfected organiza tion and appointed a committee of two to confer with n committee from the house ai to the tlmo for holding the senatorial caucus. The Indications are tint Hanebrou.ih will succeed himself , but an effort will bo made by the populists to get enough Ola- satisfied republicans to prevent a caucus , In tha hopeof helping elect a republican who will concede something to them for their support. The republicans of the oBscmoly have called a caucus to choceo a nominee for United States senator for Saturday , January 9.

INDIANAPOLIS , Jan. 8. The last mcs- Bago of Governor Claude Matthews was sub mitted to the legislature todayi After mak ing a detailed report of the condition of the various state Institution certain recom mendations arc made. Notable among these arc a compulsory education law and a law prohibiting the formation of trusts or their operation within the state , a violation of wlilch should , he says , bo met with heavy penalties. The message does not fecommcnd the celebration of the Indiana centennial , which was considered at the last session of the legislature , but urges careful consid eration of the proposals submitted by the committee already In existence , and If It Is deemed that the present depressed times will not Interfere with the undertaking an elab orate celebration should bo had. The men- sage asks for on accounting by the Vandnlla railroad as to the matter of Its alleged debt to the state under an old charter , nnd that the attorney general be empowered to em ploy help needed In any legal procedure lookIng - Ing to this end. The governor expressed strong sympathy with the Cuban Insurgents nnd recommends that the legislature at least adopt a resolution requesting congress to use every effort that nt least belligerent rights bo accorded them by our government.

COMES INTO HER FORTUNE Eomanco in tlio Life of on Estimable Tonng Lady , GOOD LUCK OF A SEOALIA CHAMBERMAID Clrniulnlccc of John Jncoti AMor Will Soon Abandon n Menlnl INiMl- tlon In n Ml * llonlelry. SCDALIA , Mo. , Jan. 8. Miss L. Draytou Aetor , an heiress and descendant of tlio late John Jacob Astor of Now York , Is em ployed ns a chambermaid nt the Hotel Slcher here , under the name of "Draytlc Langdon. " She Is a daughter of W. D. Astor , who died lu St. Louts twenty-three years ago , leav ing hla only child In charge of her aunt , wife of the late Major Langdon. Six years later the aunt died , leaving Draytlc to fight her way In the World. She ncaulrcd a common echool education nnd was sfnt out as n public speaker by the National He- form association. Three years ago she suffered a severe attack of pneumonia and was compelled to abandon her vocation on account of a weak voice. Then she went to live with her aunt's relatives In Sallno county , Missouri. Attorney Garrcscho of St. Louis , who has Miss Astor's Interests In charge , says she will receive a legacy of $20,000 In June , 1897 , left her by a cousin , Miss Drexel of Philadelphia , who recently entered a con vent. She will also receive in October the deeds and full title to a 4SO-ncre tract of land In Saline county , Missouri , which Is In a high state of cultivation and Is very valuable. The land Is part of the estate of Miss Astor's aunt and has been In litiga tion for thirteen years. Recently the case has been decided In favor of Miss Astor , It having been shown that It was purchased with money belonging to her father. Law yer Garrescho says that by August next ho will have disposed of three wills , which will leave Miss Astor In possession of $70- 000 , besides which she will receive , after the first of May next , an annual Income of $ G,000 from the estate of the loto J. J. Astor of New York. Mies Astor Is a grand niece of the lalo John Jacob Astor , deceased. Her mother was n Drexel. Her father was connected with Blows' lead factory at St. Louts , and at the tlmo of his death was studying law. Miss Astor was 12 years old when her father died. She says she prefers doing the work of a domestic to living on the bounty of relatives until she comes Into her property. The girl's story Is generally discredited here. The first Intimation of It came to a newspaper In an anonymous letter , date ! Jefferson City , nnd postmarked Sedalla. Lot- tic , Leon or Droytle Langdon she Is known by all of these names tellii the story of her great connections haltingly. She Is not qulto certain of the Initials or given name ? . She says she knows William Waldorf As tor , who came to St. Louis for her when her father died , and when she refused to go with him ho got very angry nnd said she should have nothing. The anonymous letter Is re garded by thosu who received It as a hoax. It was the badly disguised writing of a person who writes a good hand , and the spelling Is obviously the Illiteracy of an educated person , KANSAS CITY , Jan. 8. A special to the Star from Scdnlla says : Miss L. Drayton Astor , who has been working In a hotel here , awaiting the time when she should legally become heir to part of the Astor tstatc , Is greatly chagrined at the news paper notoriety accorded her here and abroad. She says she does not wish the Idea to gain currency that she has relatives with whom she could bo living , but prefers to work in a hotel. Her father , she says , was alienated from his family by his mar- rlago to a Catholic , and during hc.r lifetime she has had nothing to do with her relatives. Relatives with whom she resided In her early days , she says , arc all dead , and she docs not care to burden friends pending the settlement of her father's claims to the Astor estate and payment of the legacy left by her cousin. She decs not think It a disgrace to work , and Is content to wait a few months longer for the Inheritance. NEW YORK , Jan. 8. Representatives of the Astorsl deny the story sent out from So- dalla , Mo. , to the effect that Miss Drayton Astor , a chambermaid In a hotel there , was an heiress , Inheriting an annuity of $5,000 a year from the estate of John Jacob Astor. The eMato knows no such person . IX TIIU VMTBU STATES COUUT. AilniiiK Convleteil of StenlliiK Money from n I'ONtolllco. A Jury In the federal court yesterday returned a verdict , finding Charles Adams guilty of stealing money from a postoOlce. A motion will be made for a' new trial. On May 30 last , whllo tbo postmaster at Millard - lard was momentarily absent Jroin his ofllce , Adams went Into the postodico and helped himself to about $90 of government money. He was shortly afterward arrested , but the money was not found on his person. It was presumed that ho throw It away when tbo officers approached him. The attorney for James Dally withdrew the plea set up that the former Jury which tried Dally had been discharged , without his consent , and the case will proceed to trial. The district attorney telegraphed for Judge Eblras , who presided at the former trial , to como and hear the argument on the pica , but after It had been withdrawn Judge Shlras was notified that ho need not come. Apropos to the near approach of the ex piration of the sentence of Charles W. Masher for the wrecking of the Capital Na tional bank at Lincoln , there arc two cases against him now on the docket of the fed eral court , but District Attorney Sawyer said yesterday that It was hardly possi ble that they would be pushed , as ho thought the points In them had been practically covered In the former Indictments. District Attorney Sawyer admitted yes terday that It would bo almost Impossible to reach the cases against Frank M. Horsey nnd Ezra Higgles , charged with the wreck ing of the First National bank of Ponca , at this term , but as the term at Lincoln Is not much more than a continuance of the ono here , he hopes to bo able to arrange far trial there. HIgglns Is still In Jail here , having been unable to secure a bond since his rearrcst In Missouri several weeks ago. Judge McIIugh yesterday heard arguments In the case of Herman R. Vandecar against the Omaha & Republican Valley railroad , wherein It Is asked that the case bo re manded back to the state court In Valley county. It Is a damage suit. IM3HSONAI , IMHAnit.XIMIS. L.

"A Friend" has written the following trlbuto to the memory of UIG dead man : "llllly" Shull has Joined the silent ma jority. Ills life wont out sweetly nnd 'cncefttlly , nnd , Mtiough not unexpected , the news brought n P.UIB of pmlnos.i to hla rent number of friends. In poor "llllly" ยง hull's soul the spirit of humanity nml good fellowship wis predominant. He socmed the embodiment of litownlng's Idnnl when he rorote : "Hand Krnsjm hand , eye lights cyo In good friendship , And great hearts expand. And crow ono In the sense of this world's fife. " Ho coula not have existed without con genial companionship , and the sad death of the beloved companion of hlo life a few- years ago doubtless hastened his own tak ing off. "Billy's" mission on earth ( and every man has one ) , It always seemed to me , was to disseminate pleasure and sunshine to cheer hla fellowtnan and lighten the load of care and trouble In this sorrowing world of outn. Many a ono who has como under his fra ternizing Influence will miss the sunny old face , the strung grasp ot friendship , the cheering words , the hearty congeniality ot "Billy" Shull , nnd yesterday many a. tear fell from eyelids that seldom glvo outward expression to grief nJ the frame that but a short time ago held his great soul was ten derly laid away by loving friends. "Billy" had great griefs of his own , but ho bore them manfully. Never n word of complaint escaped his lips , but during the last days of his life he seemed to derive great comfort In the hope that ho would soon bo with his wife. I am sure that the good God of us all will judge "Billy" Shull by his overflowing goodness ot heart , and that these qualities of soul which fie exercised so charitably hereon on earth will secure for him a title to the home beyond the mists. Vale , "Billy , " till we meet again. "Leaves have their times to fall , And ( lowers to wither nt the north wind's breath , And slurs to set but nil , Thou linst nil seasons for thine own , O dcnth.

Two English officers Captain Welby of the Eighteenth Hussars nnd Lieutenant Mal colm of the Twenty-third Highlanders who left Lch In Ladakh last April to travel from Thibet to Peking , reached the Chinese capi tal December 22 , having been eight months enroutc. At starting they hud a rcttnuo of twelve Arganns , and their equipment was packed on thirty-seven mules. Ou arrival at Peking they had three Arganns and three mules , the men having deserted or died and the animals perished.

She equipped him with a strong body nnd n clear intellect. Every mother may do ns much for her son. The first btcp in this direction is perfect health for her self. Perfect health in n womanly way. She must take thought for the most important mid delicate organs of the body. She must keep them strongly healthy for the perform ance of the greatest nnd most wonderful work in the world.
