DAMAGE TO The TEXAS.
The Boilers Seriously Damaged but
Not Much Else.

RICHMOND, Va. January 16.-The damage
to the machinery for the battle ship Texas,
injured in the fire last night at the Richmond
Locomotive Works, will not be heavy, nor
will the ships completion be delayed to any
great extent by the fire. The principal dam
age to the Texas machinery will be in pol.
ished rod work, bars and plates. There are
% boilers for the new ship Texas in the
ruins. Experts are of the opinion that they
are not damaged to any great extent, but
Chief Engineer Brooke, United States Navy,
buiIt. said that. while to all appearances the
furnaces had not been injured, they had been
heated by fire and suddenly cooled by water
and the probabilities were that they were In
jured to such an extent that IL would not be

Mr.. Ciason's Bill.

On motion of Mr.. Clason of Gardiner, the
Australian ballot bill, which had been laid
on the table for printing, was taken up today
aud referred to the judiciary committee. The
printed copies were distributed to the mem
bers of the House this morning. Petitions
in favor of the measure are coming in.
There was time when the friecds eff the
Australian bill expected that its course in
the legislature would be an easy one. but
this rosy view of the prospect has changed
as time goes on. The opposition will come
mostly from the eastern part Of the state,
1t will be a determined one, and those
members who compose its ranks will be aid
ed, so it is said. by a large contingent of the
third house. While the opinion here il that
the bill will be passed, this opposition means
that It's progress through the various stages
will be slow one. Long speeches In oppo.
sition must be answered by he friends of
the measure, and the amendments which
may be presented with view to change the
effect of the bill will retard its becoming
law. But the bill has been launched early,
and will probably get into the legislature,
from the committee before the taxation bill
comes along.

An Opinion by Attorney lcenerAI
miller.

WASHINGTON, January l6.-Attorney
General Miller has rendered an opinion as
TO whether the tariff act Of October 1, 1890.
authorizes the commissioner Of internal rev.
enue to issue the licenses therein provided
Tor prior to April 1, 1891, and to pay manu-
1acturers' bounty on sugar produced between
March 81 and July /, 1891. The attorney
general says that sugar produced between
tnose dates entitled to the bounty under the
act Is sugar of domestic manufacture. The
only sugar so produced between the dates
given Is maple sugar. To pay bounty on
maple sugar and not on other sugars, he
nolds, is not the intention Of Congress. 1t
seems clear. concluded the attorney general,
tnat II was not intended that bounties should
be d. mandable on sugars produced prior to
the first of July next.
