Lincoln, March 30. (Special.)
Night sessions are very likely to be
, the order in both branches of the
legislature the coming week in order
to clean up the business yet un
disposed. The senate is considerably ahead
i the house on its schedule because
of the smaller membership and
consequently more rapid action in
'disposing of bills. The upper
branch would be able to wind up all
of its work within 10 days at the
latest, inasmuch as it has the big
code bill out of the way and one of
the ifthree big appropriation mea
sures. The second appropriation
bill, the general salaries measure,
has been ironed out by the senate
finance committee and the work has
been done so thoroughly that its
approval in" the senate is but a
formality. .
c i Maintenance Bill.
The third appropriation measure,
the general maintenance bill, car
rying over $1,000,000, is still being
threshed out in the house and re
mains to be disposed of in the sen
ate. The university appropriation
measures, which generally clutter up
the proceedings in the final few tlays
of the session, are out of the way in
both house and senate.
It is certain that the good roads
bills in the senate are bound to give
more trouble than any other because
ot the determined effort of some of
the members to submit amendments.
Chairman Ainlay of the senate
roads committee warned his collo
gues that if the senate started in to
' change the highway measures it
was starting a good chance of block
ing any road legislation since the
house had a hundred amendments
which it desired to tack on the bills
but did not with the understanding
that; the senate would make no
changes.
Highway Fight.
The highway fight is the very first
to come up in the senate when it
reconvenes this week.
In. the house the decks- are all
cleared for the consideration of

orated, showered hand bills; women
filled automobile trucks and with
megaphones proclaimed the names
of their favorite candidates; clowns

British Admiralty Plans
Redistribution of Fleet
London, March 30. The West
minster Gazette says there is to be
a redistribution of the British fleet
which in future will be composed
as follows:
The Atlantic fleet; the home fleet,
the Mediterranean fleet, the West
Atlantic squadron, the China squad
ron, the Cape squadron, the South
American squadron and the East
Indies squadron.
Each of the squadrons, the news
paper says, will include four light
cruisers, but the question of com
mands has not yet been settled.
Cruiser squadrons are again to take
overseas stations.
It is probable, the Gazette says,
that a greater number of ships of the
home fleet will be maintained with
nucleus crews, although it may be
assumed that the admiralty, before
making definite arrangements, is
awaiting the decisions of the Paris
conference and that the present dis
tribution is merely provisional.
