Dsggett deny the people the right to
spend their money as they please IL addi-
tien to his sspersion Of their good sense
and patriotism?
The one question for the Council to de-
eide is the necessity for such bridge. II
there is need Of it the need is 6 public
one. This is the view the Commissioners
court took CT the matter and, to benefit q
large country population IN the northern
part Of the county. the court voted $4,000
of the cost. This was the response Of
the peoples servants to the peo-
PIES demand. Alderman Daggett
has been known as q special
friend of the country citizen Of Tsrrant,
but he now occupies the attitude OF hos
tility to measure which the Commits
sioners' court has voted 4 necessity to
country people north Of the river.
And why? Says Alderman Dsgsett:
"If the gentlemen who own this land will
brig it within the corporate limits, pay
the city taxes thereon, improve if popu-
late 1t and make it part Of Fort Worth,
then nc man will contribute more FOR
such an acquisition than l will" All the
opposition, all the arguments, OF Mr..
Daggett will melt away if only the own
ers Of property outside the corporation
will bring it inside. That is to say, Mr..
Daggett will favor q public improvement
inside the present lines if some zen on
the outside viii come in.
The bridge is inside the corporate
limits and so is much CT the
land OF North Fort Worth. This
bridge project is Identical with one to i'm
prove street, and there never has been
an improved street run to the corporate
limits on the South Side which did not add
TO the vslue of property lying outside cen
tiguous to the line, but no alderman
ev er opposed such Improvement inside
the corporation because those on the oa:-
side refused to cOEe in.
When citiz ems Of the South Side beyond
the corporate limits asked for water con-
nections, no alderman rose up and said,
"Come into the corporation and you csn
have it," but the city to-day is furnish
ing people outside the city with water at
the regular rates.
What alderman has ever protested
against the attendance in city schools Of
oh ut HrTin nntejSo
city, and demanded what Mr. Dsggett
now demands as the consideration of his
support?
These schools and this water is made
possible by the taxes Of men within the
corporate lines. Shall not aldermen pro-
tect these taxpayers against the
"favored few" who live beyond the cor
porate limits on the South Side, who toll
not, neither do they spin, 10 pay city
school and water taxes, and yet no in
slider gets better tuition or purer water
than any of these? Surely patriotism
snd regard for public funds shall not be
determined by the points of the compass.
This bridge IS puollc necessity to city
snd county. 1t could not be located else
where than It is and give the same fair
to the travel over it. Il is
inside the corporate limits. The county
has agreed to psy one-third the cost OF 8
city improvement. The city should meet
the county halfway, or confess that ell
its professions of desire for unity with
the county are sound and fury signifying
nothing.

dent whenever, in his opinion, such
expenditure will tend to the eradication of
the epidemic Of yellow fever, now existing
in the United States, or prevent its spread
from state to state.
Mr. Kllgore of Texas raised the point of
order that the resolution was not properly
in conference He bad objected to con-
sideration of the Senate resolution because
he considered it out of harmony with the
constitution. The resolution had gone to
the committee on appropriations, which
had reported back an original resolution
which was supposed to be in harmony with
the constitution, and that resolution the
House had passed. The point of order was
overruled.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY INTERESTED.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama hoped that the
report would be agreed to. The resolution
was intended not only to aid the people of
the stricken districts, but to protect all the
people of the country, including the people
of the state of Texas.
Mr.. Dougherty of Florida expressed the
thanks of the people of Florida for the
liberal spirit exhibited by congress in pro-
viding money for the handling of the
scourge of yellow fever.
The report was agreed to.

BECK'SHIT ON THETARIFF
HIS MINORITY REPORT SENT IN
FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

One of His Colleagues Says 1t Could
Not be Improved Senators Harris
and Vance May Supplement- 1t by
Some Comments of Their Own-Its
Drift.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Senator Becks
draft of the minority report on the Senate
tariff bill was received from Fortress Mon
roe this morning and read and approved by
the other democrats Of the committee. They
determined to adopt the report of the MI
nority, and will present it as such to the
committee on finance tomorrow. Mr.. Beck
is the recognized leader Of his side in eco
nomic and financial matters, and as one Of
his colleagues said tonight: His report
could not be improved" 1t may be, how
ever that before it is submitted to the SEN
ate Messrs. Harris and Vance may add some
comments of their own.
DRIFT OF THE REPORT.
Mr.. Beck's report dissects the republican
tariff bill in his most vigorous style. He
points out the concession by tho republicans
that the taxes should be reduced, and that
the tariff should be revised and then shows
how unsatisfactory they go about this
work. He tells how the bill was formed by
the representatives of the trusts and monop-
olists so that none of their interests should
suffer, regardless of the demands of tho
people for relief from their burdens. He
shows that the bill ignores the popular de-
sire for free raw material aud for reduced
taxation on necessarles.
THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
He dwells especially on the increase in
the duty on fine woods as retrogressive; says
the reduction in the duties on sugar and
rice is disproportionate, and generally stig-
matizes tue bill as in the interest of the
classes as against the masses. He holds up
tie Mills bill in contrast with the Senate
bill as being what the people really want.
The republican bill will probably make its
appearance tomorrow, and the republican
report on Thursday and the democratic on
Friday. They will all be ordered printed
so that the sixty speeches may begin next
week. The discussion will run into the last
week in October, when recess over election
will be taken.
QUAY AND THE BILL.
Chairman Quays chief business here yes
terday was to read the republican tariff re-
port, which has been at last brought into
shape. He remarked several things in il
which he thought ought to be changed, and
which were changed accordingly, and he
finally recommended that it be presented as
the report of the republicans of the finance
committee and not of the republicans of the
Senate. This will leave the others free t.
| disavow it, if they please.

of the Howard Association said to-day:

DR.. Neal Mitchell should express
himself as in the interview with the Jack
sonville correspondent of the NEWS in its
issue of Oct. /, in the paragraph headed
"Fernandina's Error" on a subject upon
which he had but slight knowledge. Ap-
pearances may be against us, but we EN-.
phatically deny every allegation contained
in the interview, and know we can
disprove them, and that the evidence
will be shortly forthcoming that will set US
right before the world. We know that our
health authorities and physicians have

them being veterans Upon this first evil

SURGEON ROSS TELEGRAM.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2-Surgeon j. w.
Ross, United States navy, telegraphed to-
day that the uncertainty at Fernandina
was largely due to the fact that yellow
fever appeared there about the same time
with a widespread epidemic of dengue.
"Yellow fever was, he says, Officially an

of the Fernandina board of health became
convinced of its existence. Doctors Star
buck and Horsey are members of said
board. TO deaths and but few new cases
have occurred since Sept. 26. The new
cases to-day are six, and they are under
treatment. Some of these are undoubtedly
dengue. There is no immediate need OF
government relief here. The report OF
smallpox here is entirely unfOunded."

Hundreds of Bad Places In the Work
Known OF by the Workmen.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The work Of in
vestigating the acqueduct tunnel frauds is
progressing slowly. The army of engineers
who have had charge of the construction of
the acqueduct and who are now making the
investigation, today discovered several
pieces of bad work, as we'll as some which
seem to meet the requirements of the con-
tract. Some Of tue workmen through
whom the defective work was
first made known have stated that there are
dozens of such "caverns" as have already
been discovered scattered all through the
tunnel, and that there are many places
hundreds of feet in length where no packing
of any kind was used.
READY TO POINT THEM OUT.
These workmen declare their ability and
readiness to point out to any proper au-
thority the location of these places. Aching
Secretary of War MacFeey said to-day
that in view of the proposed investigation
by congress the war department probably
would not take any further action ia the
matter until that investigation was COM
pleted and reported upon. He thought that
the reference Of the charges to Maj.
Lydecacker, the engineer in charge, with
instructions for an investigation and report,
Is all that Is necessary at present.

particulars satisfactory, and it was unani-,
mously agreed that a lease to the Richmond

pointed TO arrange the details, which will be
done substantially In accordance with
President SCOTS proposition. The junior
securities of the East Tennessee were
largely represented at to-day's meeting and
heartily approved the programme
