Mr.. Springer Talks Upon His Proposed
Change and What IL WIN Accomplish.

NuS"Sc ~uu w nnt IL w accomplish.
"The electoral college. as it now stands, is q
miserable fraud" said Representative Springer
today, and the idea that all the votes in the
electoral college from a great state like New
York should go to one party by a matter of 100
or 200 votes is great frsud upon the
electors Of the country. Some OF the
newspapers misapprehend the proposition
which submitted on this subject. The pop
ular vote contemplated is confined 10, each
state. The states will have the same num-
Der Of electoral votes that they now
have in the election of President and
Vice President. There will be no persons run
ming as candidates FOR electors but the electoral
vote OF each state will be apportioned among
the several candidates according 20 the number
OF popular votes each receives IN that state, the
odd votes going TO the candidates having
the largest fractions. This will pre-
vent the vicious practice Of gerrymsndering
and gives exact weight to the popular vote
which each candidate receives in the state Ii
viii nationaliZe the presidential election and
render contests for the succession next to inn
possible Politically it would give ef-
feet 10 the popular will. limited only
by the just representation which each
state is entitled to in the elect
oral college and would not spread large
majorities in one locality beyond the limits Of
the state. Besides, il would make vote buying
Intellectual and therefore imperative"
Mr.. Springer said that the proposition seemed
to be growing in favor and was certainly at
tracing great deal of interest

A BATTLE OF BILLS.
Measures That VIII lie Pressed for Passas
After the Recess.

Measures That Will lie Pressed for Passage
After the Recess.
After the holiday recess there will be mighty
battle of bills in the Senate. The anticipation
bill, the Nicaragua canal bill, the anti-immi-
grafton bill and the proposition to repeal the
Sherman silver law will all claim the attention
of the Senate soon they reconvene, and
there will be a hot fight for preference.
All the opponents of the anti-option bill will
join with the friends of the other bills. many of
whom will be compelled to vote for anti-option
when it comes to a vote on the passage of the
bill, but will be very glad to delay that vote as
long possible; and it promises to be very
interesting fight for position. 1t is prob able
that the anti-option bill will win the right of
way and will be passed by the Senate very
promptly. 1t is the expectation Of the oppo-
nents of the measure, however. that it will be
amended, and they are counting on a conflict
between the two houses on the amend
ments for a chance to defeat it. IL must
be said that they are not very confident that
their efforts will be successful There is no
doubt that before the session closes some prop
osition for the suspension of immigration vii!
be adopted. The general expectation is that
something similar to the House proposition will
be adopted. There will be a hard fight over
the Nicaraguan canal bill. The proposition for
which hope is entertained is not to secure the
bonds of the company by government guar
antee. but to have the government take the
matter out of the control of private
parties and make it government work.
There is SO much opposition TO the proposition
Ill the House that its success seems improbable.
There does not appear to be the least chance
In the world of securing the repeal of the Sher-
man act without making concessions to the sill
yer men, which the anti-silver men cannot
agree

A NEW ANACOsTIa BRIDGE.
Report of Capt. Fiebeger the Bills lie
ferred to the Commissioners.

Report of Capt. Fiebeger on the Bills Re-
ferred to the Commissioners.
There are few matters of more general local
interest than the scheme outlined in Senate
bill 2l25 and House bill 5443 looking to a recon-
structon of the Anacostia bridge. The files of
the District building are crowded with COM
plants of this bridge. and the story of the
grievances of citizens would fill good-sized
volume.
Recently the Commissioners resolved these
bills for recommendation. Capt. Fiebeger
who has the immediate charge Of bridges. was
delegated to write the report, and he submitted
his report today, which the Commissioners APP
proved and forwarded to Congress.
After giving brief history of the structure.
its present condition and dimensions. he SAYS:
1t seems best after careful and full cousid-
Grafton. 10 adhere 10 the following pian for re-
construction The span Of the new bridge
should be reduced to 800 feet, the channel width
contemplated by the board on harbor lines Of
Anacossia river. by extending the embankment
approach at the south end of the bridge. The
grade should be raised to provide a clear
headroom of twenty feet above low tide. The
type of structure should be plate
girder construction. carrying paved
floor system not less than fifty feet in
width. Such a construction would permit the
go above it, while a draw. should such detail
hereafter be needed. can be interpolated here
after at any desired point without an extraya-
CANT outlay for maintenance, such as its present
construction would involve: while its cost OF
construction al a future time would not exceed
materially its present cost. since the displaced
portions OF the bride could be used elsewhere.
THE ESTIMATED COST.
The estimated cost of this work, including
changes to the approaches, is $3.50. coo, and
recommend that an appropriation be asked for
the purpose. Hesuggests the following changes
in the bill:
Line 3, the sum be changed to 'two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars" Line g. after the
word bridge" be inserted the words
without draw-span." Line s. after the
word same be inserted the words ..and
for such Investigations. surveys, and for
such contingencies as the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia shall deem necessary"
Omit lines 10 and II. which limit the be light
Of the proposed bridge. Line is, after the
word .'ironwork," insert the words ''and other
material" Line 10, after the word "Colum-
bia," insert ''or may be allowed to and become
the property of the contractor for the new
structure In part payment therefor"

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
An fnort to he Made to Bring About
Sort After the Holidays.

An fnOrt to We Made to Bring About
some Sort After the Holidays.
There Is to be an organized effort in the
House after the holiday recess to bring about
some sort of financial legislation. 1t will prob
ably take the shape Of an attempt to repeal the
sherman law. under which the government is
purchasing d. 600. coo ounces of silver year.
The opponents OF free coinage believe that this
law l. daily meEacing The securities of the gov
eminent and inevitably leading TO gigantic
losses. Mr. Har;er of Ohio. one OF the most
pronounced champions Of the repeal Of this
law. will make II his special business during the
recess to endeayor to mold the public aud con-
gre-si0nal sentiment that favorable action
may be taken as soon after recess possible.
For this reason he will not return to Ohio to
enjoy the holiday festivities. but will be found
~ various places throughout the east where he
may be most useful in advocating the repeal Of
TIE lav.
On the other hand, the friends of silver are
not less active and expect to see free coinage
bill forging TO the front before many days Of
the new year have passed. Mr.. Stewart said
only the other day tina, he expected free coin
age bill would soon be cslled up for a vote.
His amendment to the bill Of Mr.. Hill. which
provides for the repeal Of the Sherman act
makes that measure practically free coinage
bill, and Mr.. Stewart thinks that when 1t comes
TO a vote it will pass.

THE wiFE'S ANSWER.
The Defendant in a Divorce Suit Tells Her
Story.


Story.
In the case of Willard NJ Sisson agt. Moilie
VI. Sisson for divorce the respondent has filed
an answer and a petition for alimony through
T. L. Jeffords. She states in her answer that
she is not guilty Of adultery at any of the places
with NJ. c. Burbage or any one else. She admits
that she left the city in October last and went
to st. Louis but denies that she roomed with
Burbage in Chicago, and SAYS all such charges
are wicked, malicious, willful, fraudulent and
untrue. and charges that her husband by con-
nivance. cons piracy, fraud and collision with
Burbage and others contriyed her circum-
stance, and surroundings that the charges might
be made, and says she heard her husband tell
his attorney that he was getting divorce case
ready for him. She states that she was in
duced by impositions and misre presentations to
run away with him and become his wife. and
while in fear she kept the marriage secret from
her parents for nine month. after marriage
when against his wishes and me naces she in
formed her parents. and be then provided her
house till October last, but poorly supported
her and kept her moving from place TO place.
She states that in August she met Burbage at
her husbands fathers in Virginia and he
grossly insulted her and she believes he was
sen; BY her husband to Insult her. She states
that on October l when deserted by her hus-
band she went to ST. Louis 20 her
uncle's, but yielded to her husbands
requests and promises and she returned
October IL, arriving at am, and when
she arrived at his store on Connecticut avenue
he gave her something to warm up and for
twenty-four hours was in u daZed. partially I'M
conscious condition. and when partially re-
covered he gave her another dose of some sort.
and when unconscious he forced her to sign
paper, and while walking with him he told her
that he had brought suit for divorce. She went
70 her fathers. Henry ). Mastbrook, with whom
she has since lived. She further chagres that
while in dazed condition he took the letters
written by him from her pockets.
