The other day, In the Senate of New

act was uuder consideration an amendment
was inserted which exempted from taxation
under ii call manufacturing and mining
corporations" Afterward, while the bill
was in the hands of a conference committee,
it was decided to except from this exemp-
ton mining companies doing business in
other States, but organized in this State,
and the exemption proviso was changed to
read so as to exempt misunderstanding COM
panies, and mining companies carrying on
business in this State" The amendment
appears with q distinct comma after the

engrossing the reference committees
amendments into the bill the Assembly
Clerk left but the comma, and the bill as
signed by the Governor and filed in the
Office of the Secretary of State, reads so as
to exempt companies doing business in this
State" Those manufacturing companies.
therefore, which have organized in this
State to carry on business elsewhere are

HAMILTON. May 10.
Ed. SENTINEL: Commodore Jack Gil
mer and Harvey Carpenter arrived here
last night. The Commodore took a
look at all he could see, but the deep
snow and bad roads hindered him from
seeing very much. But judging by what
he heard and by specimens shown
him by your scribe, he was pleased.
He left here with Mr.. Carpenter to-
day for Salt Lake City via Bristol and
Phoebe. He promises to return here in
three weeks to make q thorough inspec-
ton OF the district, to see what can be
done with his interests. He thinks small
teaching works Of say Is or 20 tons capac-
ity would do we'll here for o starter; also,
a furnace Of from 20 to 80 tons capacity
daily.
He has great faith in his property in
Eureka, the Geddes mine. II is his in
tention to find another Eureka Con. or
Richmond in it.
Gilmer's mine here, the Chief, shows
assays, made by Supt. r. D. Clark, rang
ing all the way from SO to $500 per ton;
but not enough work has been done on il
yet to tell anything about it definitely.
Prodigiously rich ore specimens are
brought in from the Patterson District
property, in which W. j. Flower and the
Mathewson brothers are interested. One
piece went So, IA so per ton.
Bob Briggs, Bill McGill and Mike Lyons,
proprietors of the Monitor mine, Taylor

little 10-stamp mill, is the boss bullion
| producer in the State. The owners are

CITIZENS WILL SPEAK.
Congress Will be Again Asked to Re-
move the Railroad Depots


move the Railroad Dcpots.
The senate district committee will to-day
hear the views Of citizens on tho railway
depot question. DIR. Culver will advocate the
Morrill, bill to locate union depot down near
the navy yard, and to remove tho tracks
from the streets Of South Washington. Other
representatives will be heard The following
memorial TO congress is being circulated
among the citizons for signatures:
The undersigned, citizens and taxpayers Of the
Orable bodies that in the bills defining the routes
OF steam railroads within the city limits, now
Columbia, full provision shall BIO made for the
prompt removal OF the tracks and sheds of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad company from
the public park or reservation where they are now
| situated, and also from Sixth street west. This
PARK, from the capitol TO the executive mansion
was one Of the principal features of the original
plan OF tho city and as the city grows In popu-
laton the Importance. both for public health and
pleasure, ofhavng this park in the heart ofthe city
becomes every day more and more evident. At
the time the Baltimore aud Potomac Railroad
| company was allowed to occupy 1t the park
was unimproved, ana II was not realized how
| yenienco. With the completion of tho Washing
ton monument and national museum, and the
Improvement Of the grounds this sacrifice is very
apparant Moreover, the rights and facilities
granted to one railroad must In equity be granted
g. others, and II is, therefore, only question of
| NV spul tuo bIVulcT phIti II NOT tue WnOle
| of the park, will be absorbed for railroad pur-
poses, unless the existing tracts arc promptly re.
| moved. The removal OF the track from Sixth
street Is earnestly prayed for, because there are
only 1--WE streets crossing the park to give access
TO the southern part of the city and the Potomac
water front. and Of these every one except Sixth
street y occupied by street railroad. The pres.
ence OF steam railroads on Sixth street virtually
closes 1t to public travel and It is of the highest
| Importance that this street should be restored to
| inc purposes of public highway, for which
II was dedicated free OF cost by its original
owners in 1901. AT the present time various
causes have consplred to make a settlement of the
railroad question matter Of urgent importance.
! We respectfully petition that this opportunity
snail not be allowed to pass without providing for
the removal of the tracks from the principal part
the city. We are Informed that the commissioners
! ofthe District of Columbia have strongly urged
that the union depot be located ON private prop
erty Just south OF the intersection OF Virginia an
Maryland avenues, and that all the existing track
north of this proposed depot shall be removed.
In our Judgment this solution of the question will
meet the approval Of a very large majority OF th
citizens aud sojourncrs In the national capital,
and we urgently petition that you will enact a
| law to give effect to their views"

A QUEER INVESTIGATION.
Probabilities That tho Commissioners

Probabilities That the Commissioner
VIII Have TO Investigate Themselves.
The house district committee held meet
ingyestorday morning and further considered
the testimony of the district commissioners
relative to district affairs. The subcommittee
appointed to confer with tho appropriation
committee, with q view to securing an avail
able amount embodied in the district appro-
priations to enable the commissioners to make
an investigation, made their report that the
matter should be reported to the house,
The committee then appointed Mr.. Wilson
to report tho matter to tho house at the
earliest opportunity. Mr.. Wilson made an at
tempt to have the matter introduced lator in
the evening" but being unsuccessful he will
mako another attempt this morning.
In his report, after reviewing the evidence
submitted to tho subcommittee on investga-
ton, he recommends that q clause be added
to tho district appropriation bill, giving 81, 300
to continue the search for discrepancies in
the accounts of tho auditors and collector s
office.
He says that the present method Of audit
ing accounts is n perfect one, and that no
fault can be found with II. From the evil
donce, continues Mr.. Wilson, the real trouble
10 in the books Of tho district kept prior to
November last, whom the present system was
inaugurated, and which have not been audited
for more than ton years.
There is already an appropriation of $4,000
being used to further the investigation, and
tho 81 300 if secured will be added to this.
Tho examination of the books will be con-
Quoted under tho supervision of tho commits
sionors and auditor.
The action of tho committee is regarded as
compromise and as done to appease Mr..
Fielder, who was the prime mover in calling
for an investigation. Some Of tho members
are not satisfied, however, and IL is probable
tn at they will attempt to use other means to
SO cure the end in view.
The commissioners consider the action as
an oxoneration of their manner of conduct
ing business, and they are backed up by
some congressman in this belief
The $1,000, if appropriated. will become
available when the district app ropriation bill
is passed, and the examination will DO begun
at once.

The house Judiciary committee submitted
four reports yesterday, Messrs. Reed, L. b.
Taylor, L. NJ. Browne and McCoid being in
favor of extending the inestimable privilege
of tho ballot to the fair sex. An adverse
report, prepared by Mr.. Maybury. is rabidly
opposed to the proposition. Mr. Dorsheimer
thinks it probable that the interests OF society
will soon require that women should have
tho right of suffrage, and am not willing to
say more than that the present is not an
opportune time for submission to the states
of the proposed amendments and Mr.. Poland
reports on his own behalf that he believes
that the office aud duty which nature has
devolved upon woman during all the act i've
and vigorous portion of her life would often
render it impossible, and still more indicate,
for her to appear and act in caucuses, con-
ventions, or elections, or to act as a member
of legislature, or as juror or judge.
