The motive power by which the same may be operated shall be restricted to horse, mule, electric or cuble power. Mr. Raymond said that there is now no provision prohibiting a street rallway from consolidating its lines ‘with those of the street railways, and run- ning their cars where they please, This sub- Btitute provides only a necessary safeguard Mr. Howe said that this bill provides only for lines already built, and it gives them no ndditional mghts. Your city chartor gives you the priviloge of controlling the construc- tion of ines. If this bill gave the right to build, he should oppose it. Mr. Raymoud wanted the bill explicitly to state that only horse, mule, electric or cable power should be used, not steam engines. Mr. Raymond’s substitute was ndopted Mr. Nesbitt offered a resolution that a Bpecial committee of fivebe appointed, whose duty it shall be to ascertain how many clerks, deputies and assistants are emploped in tho exocutive departwent of the state, and tho sums paid in each case and by what author- ity of law. He said that he had heard that there were clerks employed in all the offices, and it is no more than right that theso ofti cers should be heard, and that the senate should kuow what is the practice, Mr. Conner said that he would like also to Xnow how many clerks are needed; reports nre that these officors have more than they need. The amendment was accepted, and the resolution adopted. House.

Mr, McBride introduced a resolution to- day prohibiting the reading of newspapers by members while the house is in session, but the motion was drowned by a large chorus of “noes,” The members whose seats are on the out- side of the circle, complain that they are un- ablo to hear the proceedings.

LixcoLy, Neb., Jan. 17.—|Spocial Tele gram to Tue Bee. | —The lutest scheme in the prohibition busiuess is a shrewd one. As 1 have said, the result of a vote to submit a prohibition amendment to the constitution is doubtful. 1 think the leading prohibitionists do not feel much coufidence iu the result of the vote on that measure in the legislature. Instead of a prohubition amendment the heme now is to enact a prohibitory law, with penalties attached, and to submit that to the peoploe at a spocial election. A ma jority of both houses could pass such a bill, and in that way get prohibition boefore the people and let them vote upon it. It would, it is true, onl, but in default of what they want it mighit be accepted as the best thing they can got. "o AINDO'S piss moeasure inembers anent school iering the head slator.

The Times will allege that sufcient sworn proof was some days ago submitted to the mayor's intimate associates, and that the Times will not now be inveig, into prematurely ex- posing certain proof necessary to a defense of the suits brought aganstit.

The discussion of the amendment was con tinued by Messrs, Vost and Allison The question of the existence of tin in the United Statos was brought up by the asser tion made by Mr. Allison that there wer more extensive deposits of tin in this coun try than in all the rest of the world. Tuere was tin enough Dakota to supply the world Mr. Vest remarked that if the tin mines of the country could be successiully wo would have been developed before in this Teller asserted that there was no question as to the great abundance of tin de posits in Duakota. The troubie about it was in the separation of tin—the mode adopted in Wales not beiog applicable. ~ Fo said that while the tin ore in Wales produces only 4 or 5 per cont of pure tin, that in Dakotw pro- Aueed 25 or 30 per cent. But even if it pro duced only 6 or S per cent, it could be worked with profit Mr. Vest ereased dut argued that the promosed in- on tin plate for the purpose of establishing o non-existent industry was dan- werons and exceptional logislation, Mr. Gorman protested nzainst an_inerease of duty on sucli a necossity as tin plate, and suid tiat for the next ten or fifteen years all the tin that would be used in muking tin plate would have to be imported. The possi bilities were that tin plate could not be man ufactured successfully in the United States, and therefore the proposed increase of duty would only be an additional burden to the poople. ! Mr. Sherman argued in favor of the amend- ment The acbate was further coutinued by Messrs. Platt, Snulsbury, Plumb, Gorman, Aldrich, Mitehell and’Call. Finaily o vote was takeniand the amendment adopted. It iy a duty on tin (tagors' iron and: steel) when valned at 3 cents a pound or less, ti r than No. 10 and not thinner than 20, wire gauge, at 1 cent perpound; on the thinner | at 11-10, 1 310 aud 1 4-10 cents por pound, and on corragated or crimped plates 11-10 cents per pound.; All other iron or steol sheets, plates and hoop (excepting tin plate) when galvanmped;or coated With zine, spelter or other metal, are to pay 2 of a cent por pound additional; and_after Jun 1, 1830, tin plate is to.pay 7 of acent per pound addi- tional The amendment proposing a bounty on su- gar made from beets, sorghum or sugar cane grown in the United States was then taken up. ¢ Ix\ll’ Vestideclared emphatically his onposi- tion to all sach bounties, waish he eonsid ered tho most objectionable form of protec- tion. Mr. Eustis asked Mr. Allison to whether the proposed bount; 1 e pound on sugar produced in this count in direct contradiction of the ground taken by the finance committee for a large re- duction of import duty. that ground being the known and ascertained limit of the sugar capacity of the United States, Mr. Allison did not consider the amend- ment as in any sense a change of position on the part of the committec. The sugar pro duced from sugar cane grown in the United States had not kept pace with the increase of population. Mr. Gibson asked Mr. Allison whethes the committee had not _heard of the increase of 25 per cent in the sugar cane growing urea of Louisiana within the last three or and of the increase of nearly 100 per cent in the yield obtained by fmproved metiods. Mr. Allison replied that the committee had some testimony in that line. But the com- mittee had also learned that there was uo diffusion of the plant in Louisiana except t ereeted by the government of the United States. But even with that diffusion a success, as applied to sugar cane, Spreckles had shown to the committee very clear] he beat that production by the manufacture of sugar from beets. While he admitted Louisiana had taken some recent steps to improve the sugar making process largcly, it should be borne in mind that the iccrease of population and the increase of consumption of sugar per capita was sogreat that 150,- 000,000 pounds of sugar would be required to supply that annual increase of consumption The state of Louisana could notsupply sugar to meet that increase, to say mothing of the 3000,000,000 vounds ‘of sugar now imported. He admitted that there was a strong feeling in the country against a di- rect bounty for the protection of anything. And yet such bounties, as to salt, and flsh and other matters, had been supportod by the most eminent men in the history of the country. He believed that within ten years sugar enongh could be produced in this coun- try to supply the domestic market. He understood that onesixth of the entire weight of beets could be converted into sugar. Was it not, therefore, a desirable thing to encourage the beet sugar indus| in the United States! Notwithstanding t enormous protection, the relative proportion of Louisiana’s production to consumption was 10ss than it was twenty years ago.
