The votes of four men in the House yes- terday afternoon gave the Metropolitan Railway Company @ chance of saving $147,000 and interest. A motion to compel the railway company to pay to the city this amount, claimed to be due the city, before granting the road any further privileges, Was defeated on a yea and nay vote of 113 nays and 109 yeas, Those who voted for the proposition to compel the company to settle with the city, by the payment of the full amount claimed without further litigation were: Aitken, Anderson, Bailey, Baker (Kan.), Baker (N. H.), Barnes Bartholdt, Barwig, Bell (Texas), Berry, Boatner, Branch, Breckinridge (Ky.), Bretz, Broderick, Bryan, Bunn, Bynum, Cabaniss, Cannon (Cal.), Coffeen, Coombs, Cooper (Texas), Davey, Davis, De Armond, De Forest, Denson, Dinsmore, Donovan, Dunn, Durborow, English (N.J.), Enloe, Epes, Fyan, Geary, Goldzier, Grady, Hager, Hainer, Hammond,Hare, Harris, Hitt, Hop- kins (ill), Hopkins (Pa.), Houk, Hudson, Hunter, Ikirt, Johnson (N.D.), Kem, Kil- gore, Kribbs, Kyle, Lane, Latimer, Lawson, Layton, Lefever, Lester, Lucas, Maddox, Mallory, Marvin (N.Y.), McAleer, McCul- loch, McDearmon, McGann, McKeighan, MeMillin, McRae, Mercer, Moses, Neill, O'Neill Gfo.), Paschal, Payne, Pearson, Pendleton (Texas), Pendleton (W.

C.), Tate, Terry, Turner (Ga.), Turner (Va.), Updegraff, Warner, Weadock, Whiting, Williams (I.), Willams (Miss.), Woomer. Those who voted to give the case, barring the pleas of the statute of limitation and lack of notice, a new trial in court were Abbott, Alexander, Avery, Babcock, Bankhead, Belden, Bingham, Black (Ga.), Blair, Breckinridge (Ark.), Brookshire, Bundy, Cadmus, Cald- well, Caminetti, Campbell, Cannon (iil.), Caruth, Catchings, Causey, Clark (Mo.), Cobb (Ala.), Cockran, Cockrell, Cogswell, Compton, Conn, Cooper (Fla.), Cooper (Wis.), Covert, Cox, Crain, Curtis (Kan.), Curtis (N. ¥.), Dolliver, Doolittle, Dunphy, Ellis (Ky.), Ellis (Ore.), Erdman, Everett, Funk, Gardner, Gear, Geissenhainer, Gillett (Mass.), Gresham, Grout, Harmer, #laugen, Hayes, Heard, Hermann, Hooker (Miss.), Hulick, Hutcheson, Iztar, dind.), Jones, Kiefer, Lapham, Livingston, Loud, Loudenslager, Maguire, Mahon, Marsh, Martin (ind.), McCall, McCreary (Ky.), McDannold, McDowell, McKaig, McNagny, Meredith, Milliken, Money, Montgomery, Northway, O'Neil (Mass.), Page, Patterson, Paynter, Perkins, Pickler, Post, Randall, Reed, Reyburn, Richardson (Tenn.), bins, Scranton, Shell, Sperry, Stephenson, Stone, W. A., Stone (Ky.), Strong, Sweet, Taylor (Tenn. Haheaad Tucker, Tyler, Van Voorhis(Ohio), Walker, Washington, Waugh, Wever, Wheeler (Ala.), Wilson (Ohio), Wil- son (Wash.), Wise, Wright (Mass.). The Star's report closed yesterday after- noon as the roll call on this motion com- menced. Whea the motion was lost Mr. Williams of Mississippi moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to report a bill offering railroad franchises for sale, which was ruled out on a point of order. Other Amendments, Mr. Hepburn offered an amendment, per- mitting the use of the tracks of the Metro- politan Company's line by other roads, un- der the direction of the Commissioners or the court, which was agreed to, with a further amendment applying the same pro- vision to othcr roads now operating or hereafter to be operated in the District. Mr. Washington offered an amendment taxing the company $500 per year for every horse car operated on the line if the com- pany fails to change the motive power within the required time. This amendment was lost—ayes, 35, noes, 52. The bill as amended was then passed. The full text of it is as follows: Fail Text of the Bill, That the Metropolitan Railroad Company, incorporated under the act of Congress ap- proved the first day of July, anno domini 1864, be, and the same is hereby, author- ized, empowered and required to equip and of | operate the lines of their cars upon and along all the streets and avenues of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, within the District of Columbia, where the | lines of their read, or any part thereof, are now laid and operated, and as hereinafter provided, with an underground electric sys- tem for propulsion of such cars: Provided that the change to an underground system shall be completed within one year after the date of the approval of this act. Pro- vided there shall be completed an extension thereof on East Capitol street, from 9th street east to 15th street east, around both sides of Lincoln square, and in default of such completion ail acts or parts of acts chartering or extending the said road are j hereby repealed. Sec. 2. That the sald company is hereby |authorized and empowered to issue its bonds, secured by a mortgage on its fran- chises and other property, to such amount as may be necessary to pay the cost of the | work to be done and of the materials re- quired and the expenses incident to the | change to be made, as provided in this act, j but not in excess of such cost, and said bonds shall not be sold or disposed of at less jthan their face or par value. | Sec. 3. That a transcript of the record of the case of the District of Columbia against the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany, of the District of Columbia, at law ‘22458, in the Supreme Court of the Dis- | trict of Columbia, together with the orig- inal papers and record entries therein, duly certified, shall, by appropriate orders duly entered of record, be transferred and de- | livered to the Court of Appeals of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which said Court of Ap- peals is hereby vested with original au- thority and jurisdiction to hear and deter- mine sald case without pleas and issues and proofs therein other statute of limitations or a plea of failure of notice to said company of any act re- quired of it, and to determine from and upon said record and pleadings and proofs therein contained, and such other proof in dispose of the case upon its merits, what, f y, indebtedness is due to the District of Columbia from the id railroad com- pany in respect of the cause of action stat- ed in the declarations filed in said case, as- suming that due and proper notice may be given to said company of all acts required in the premises, and to enter judgment against said company in favor of the Dis- trict of Columbia for any sum or sums of money that said Court of Appeals shall find due from said company in respect of said cause of action, for the amount of which said judgment execution may issue out of said court, and said judgment shall |tmmediatély become a len upon all the |property of said company, to be enforced in the manner now provided by law for the enforcement of other liens, and shall be paid within ninety days from the date | thereof. Provided that unless said company | shall file in said Court of Appeals its con- sent in writing to the aforesaid transfer of the said case, and also a waiver of all its limitations, hereinbefore provided for, and also a waiver of all rights, benefits, advantages and de- fenses that it has or may have by reason of the decision and judgment of the Su- and entered in said case, within thirty days after the approval of this act, then ail rights granted to said company by this act shall cease and be determined. Provided that the judgment of the said Court of Ap- peals shall be final and that there shal that the cost of said transfer and of the Rob- | a jury upon the | jthan the pleas and issues relating to the | the course of said hearing as said court | may determine to be necessary in order to | rights and defenses under the statute of | and from want of notice as | preme Court of the United States made be no appeal therefrom. And provided further hearing of said case in the Court of Appeals shall be paid by said railroad company. Sec, 4. That the District Commissioners shall have the power to permit the use of the tracks of the Metropolitan Railroad | Company by other railroad companies in the said District upon such terms and conditions as said Commissioners shall deem just, to the end that the greater convenience of the public may be subserved | without the duplication or unnecessary in- | crease of railroad wacks in the business and residence portions of the cities of Washington and Georgetown. If either party is dissatisfied with the compensation for such use so fixed by the Commissioners, the compensation may be determined by the District Court of the United States the provisions of this section shall apply to all street railroad companies now or hereafter operated within the District of Columbia. The Race Track Bill Lost. A rather warm controversy ensued upon the consideration of the bill to permit pool selling at race tracks within the District for eighteen days in each yeer. Mr. Hayes of lowa stood sponsor for the bill and was closely cross-questioned by Mr, Burroughs and others for the purpose of eliciting the fact that this bill is to permit gambling at certain times and that the passage of it is not at all necessary to permit racing without gambling. Mr. Bourke Cockran said: understand the purpose of this legislation it is to give certain privileges in the way I have not any objections myself—at least none that I care to discuss now—to the general principle of bookmaking, but I never could recognize the propriety of al- lowing persons to make bets upon one spot, as the legitimate exercise of a commercial instinct, while making it felony to do the same thing within a stone's throw, of that spot. The Ives pool law in New York has legalized pool selling and bookmaking on certain race tracks, and my colleague (Gir. Campbell) says that law is highly approved by the Coney Island race track, the Je- rome Park race track and every other race track in New York—” Mr. Campbell—"Of good reputation.” Mr. Cockran—“Yes; every race track ‘of good reputation,’ I will add that, and 1 may say that I know of no race track that is not ‘of good reputation; they are ‘all, all honorable’ race tracks!” (Laugh- ter.) “But I do know that the Ives pool law of the state of New York is a measure of doubtful constitutionality. It is a measure which the race tracks have never yet been willing to submit to the arbitrament of a court. I do say that it is repugnant to the sense of justice of every person whose conception of law is based on the principles of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, to find that a thing which is made felony by the law in one spot is made innocent in another. in the city of New York for registering a to the pains and penalties of felony when they could have recorded the same bet within three-quarters of a mile of where they stood and have defied the law, or at least have secured exemption from its operations. “In this matter, as in reference to other propositions to change vur statutes, I stand upon the principle of the absolute equality before the law of all citizens everywhere. “If it be proper to bet at Benning, it is equally proper to bet on Capitol Hill. If it be proper to make betting a felony in this | Rieice, I do not recognize the right of | Congress to license felony anywhere, and 1 protest emphatically against a measure which enabies a private corporation to li- | cense felony. This measure allows me, if I pay admission to a race track, to indulge in the luxury of betting. and in the freest ex- ercise of the betting instinct. I am opposed to granting to any institution or corpora- | tion or individual any license or privilege or exemption under the criminal law which cannot be extended equally to all other cit- izens. will not prevail.” (Applause.) After some further debate the bill was de- feated by a vote of 87 noes to 64 ayes. Water Main Assessment Bill Passed. The bill relating to water main assess- ments was then passed. It is follows: That hereafter assessments levied for lay- | ing water mains in the District of Columbia stall be at the rate of $1.25 per linear front foot against all lots or land abutting upon the street, road or alley in which a water main shall be laid: Provided, That corner lots shall be taxed only on their front, with a depth of not exceeding 100 feet; any ex- cess of the other front over 100 feet shall be subject to the above rate of assessment: And provided further, That in all cases now pending where assessments have been regu- jarly made, and where there has not been paid a sum equal to $1.25 per linear foot, as estimated above, then only so be collected will make the whole paid equal to $1.25 per linear foot. But th act is not intended to give any ground ot action for the refunding of any sum already paid in excess of $1.25 per linear foot. ‘The House then adjourned. — FALLS CHURCH, Mr. J. E.

POLITICS IN OHIO Feeling Regarding Senator Brice's Stand on the Wilson Bill. | Democrats Who Feel as He Does=—A Poll of the House—In the ‘ Third District, > Special Correspondence of The Evening Star, COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23, 1804. Opposition to Senator Brice, because of his opposition to the Wilson tariff bill, seems to be growing among the Ohio democrats, an@ unless the Senator “squares” himself in some way, or the developments justify his | course, he is likely to encounter a stronger protest to his candidacy for a second term than he did when he was a candidate for the first time. It will be remembered that | @ petition to the legislature was prepared, asking that Brice be not sent to the United | States Senate, and it received the signatures | of several hundred of the most prominent democrats in the state. Its publication seemed to put a serious obstacle in Mr. | Brice’s path to the Senate, but he had put in the time prior to the legislative election energetically traveling over the state in person and by proxy seeing the democratic general assembly candidates, and so solid j had he made himself with them that the mountain in his way vanished like a milst before the legislature assembled, and he was nominated with no opposition. “Feeling the Public Pulse.” The Senator seems to be meeting this op. position in his characteristic way. In quest of news here, The Star correspondent acci- @entally discovered a young man who was employed by the Senator to interview the leading democrats in this vicinity as to his attitude toward the turiff bill. These were to be printed in the organ, it was explained; but a little probing was sufficient to con- vince one that only those interviews which } warmly indorsed the Senator’s course were to be printed, with just enough of the op- posite tenor to make it appear that the in- terviews were taken at random—the latter also to be the expressions of obscure mem- bers of the party. The same course is doubtless being followed in other cities, and the result of the Senator's method of ascer- taining public sentiment will fon 3 doubt, {soon appear. Those who h dared to |take issue with him in this matter will probably be surprised to see how badly | down in the minority they are. Anti-Wilson Bill Democrats. A number of prominent Ohio democrats who will always be credited, when they | Speak, with expressing their honest con- victions, do, however, indorse the Senator | in his stand against the iariff bill. Among these is James P. Seward, chairman of the state executive committee. Mr. Sew- ard says the bill is too much like the Me- | Kinley law, so far as protection is con- | cerned, and the income tax feature will, if it becomes a law, finally disrupt the demo- cratic party. | Chairman John McBride of the Unite@ Mine Workers of America, who is a demo- | crat, and held the office of labor commis- sioner of Ohio by appointment from Gov, Campbell, laughs at Senator Brice’s alarm at the prospect of free coal. The great Nova Scotia mines, about which so much is now being said, McBride claims, do not pro- duce as much coal as Perry county, in this State. The bituminous coal mines of the United States, he says, supply more than half the coal used in the dominion, and to compete to this exteat and so successfully with Canada coal the United States coal must pay a duty of 6) cents per ton. The fact is, that the quality of the Nova Scotia coal is by no means as g00d as that mine@ in the states. The Question of Free Coal. McBride makes the statement that if admitting coal free would secure free ene trance for United States coal into the do- minion, the effect would simply be that @ market for 5,000,000 tons per year would | be opened to the coal mines of Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and West Virginia that they cannot reach now. hio general assembly is generally ce to go to get a quick report ng of the people or of a party question plic or party inter- ul political prophe- ed upon a counting of The present general as- solidly republican, and it is, therefore, best prepared to express re publican party feeling. Polling the Ohio House. A poll of the republican members just made shows the following: In the house, on preference for governor to succeed McKin- }ley, the poll stood: Lieutenant Governor | Harris, 7; ex-Congressman John A. Cald- well, 9; ex-Speaker Loylin, 7; ex-At- | torney General G. K. Nash, 4; Avditor of | State Poe, 3; scattering, 14; non-committal, tive noses. sembly is alm Ex-Gov.

The republicans managing the third éle- trict congressional campaign seem to have | wisely abandoned the brass band and hur rah style of campaigning that was outline? two weeks ago. The only hope the repub- licans have of carrying the district is by o siet_ contest. The district is hopelessly democratic, and the democrats will come | out and vote the straight ticket, if they are aroused. Nothing would be better calculate led to arouse them than the appearance of 'such noted ublicans upon the stump there as ex-Speaker Reed, ¥. McKinley nd Congressman J. C. Burrows. It is now unced that Reed and Burrows will not and so far ni ict for Gov. . Campbeil is going about the dis- trict with the d ndidate, Paul J, | Sorg, and giving his entire time to the cam- |paign.
