The weel. il the senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The senate will this
afternoon consider the Blair educational
bill. 1t comes up at o'clock as the pnfin-
finished business of the senate. The passage
is a foregone conclusion, but II may be do
bated at some length, and its consideration
may eat up two or three afternoons A de-
cision is expected from the supreme court of
the United States in the suit involving the
validity Of the Idaho test OATH In event
this decision is rendered the committee on
territories may dispose Of the bill for the
admission Of Idaho at once. Senator Platt,
the chairman Of the committee, has, however,
more urgent business to bring before the sem
ate. The secretary of the interior, in an in
terview with him last Friday, laid before
him the necessity of pushing 60 passage the
bill already reported from the committee
providing temporary government for Okla
homa. Senator Platt will ask the senate to
consider this measure at an early day.
The customs administration bill, known as
the Mckinley BILL will be reported to the
finance committee Tuesday by the sub-com-
mittee, Senators Allison, Aldrich and Nc
Pherson, and will doubtless be reported to
the senate the same day.
A number Of amendments will be suggest
ed, and when the senate passes the measure
it will be thrown into conference, where it
will stay for some days
The Negro Question Again.
The discussion Of Senator Buffers bill to
assist the emigration of the negro from
southern states may be resumed in some
form or other The senator from South Car
olina himself may make a brief speech ex-
planning the character Of the measure, fur
ther, as he believes it has been seriously
misunderstood by some Of the speakers who
have discussed it in the senate In the Sc
cret session tho nominations of Indian Com
missioner Morgan snd the superintendent OF
Indian schools, Dr. Dorchester, are still
awaiting consideration 1t is believed that
much Of the delay IN consideration OF these

mittee on Tuesday, Feb. 13, but the majority
members have decided to call a meeting and

The violence Of the explosion was such
that the men ON both lifts were dashed about

per or fifth lift they were also wrapped II
flames, and were horribly burned. Like
wildfire the news spread that several mer

OF the town began to flock toward the mine
There were many women in the crowd, anC

ELECTRIC POWER.


The LIGHT was enquired of recent
ly as to the movement for another
electric light and gas plant in san
Antonio. This was probably done
on the very natural suppositiOn that
what the LIGHT does not know IS
not known in this vicinity. In this par
ticular instance the LIGHT could give
no information beyond the general
rumOr. Following up the report ana
conversing with citizens it finds the
Impression is very general that the
city would be none the worse for 4 good
healthy competition in the matter OF
street lighting and lights fer busl-
ness houses, offices and dwellings.
The day of the kerosene lamp is going
by. The gas lamp will soon be a
thing of the past and the elect ic light
will be the sole illumination. In many
ways it is infinitely preferable TO
gas being simpler in its means of APP
pliance, odOrless and capable of being
furnished a a much cheaper rate. 1t
is better illumination, more constant,
less trying to the eyes than either
gas or kerosene and destined to SUI
persede both. Competition is the life
of trade and this is as true in matters
of light as in anything else. \ few
years will see this city girdled with
electric railways and the electric
plants will be multiplied. 1t is Of
the first importance that electric
motor power be furnished this city
at the very lowest living prices. 1t
will foster the Use of such power
and create a demand for it which
cannot be created at prices virtually
prOhibitOry in their character. Par
ties desiring the benefits of electric
power in their business to drive small
machinery have found the cost of
such power an insuperable objection
heretofore. The LIGHT belves that
with the advent Of competitive cleo
trio plants, under intelligent direc-
zion and backed by adequate capital,
new era in the history of electric
appliances would be ushered in tor
this city. Tne use of such appliances
would multiply until The present de-
mand would increase four told and
