Brooklyn, Riverside, East Jacksonville.
Fairfield. Lavilla are still operated by
mule power, although the new iron is
laid and the poles and wires are in posi-
ton for the troIleys.
The change to electric power on the
Bay street line was made necessary by
the opening of the union passenger sta
tion for traffic. Four railroads now have
their terminals in this station, the Jack
sonville, St Augustine and Indian river
the Savannah, Florida and Western, the
Florida Central and Peninsular and the
Jacksonville. Tampa and Key West The

To Investigate the Water Supply

Mr.. Arthur P. Davis, photographer of the
geological survey, has been detailed as an
expert, at the request of the Indian bureau,
to Investigate the water supply ana to plan
a system of irrigation for the Gila river
Indian reservation in southern Arizona.
The Gila river Indians, consisting of Pimas,
Maricopas and Papagos, are a peaceable
and industrious race, and have from pre-
historic times used the waters of the Gia
river for irrigation. OF recent years the
white settlers have been gradually encroach-
ing upon their ancient rights, by diverting
the Gila waters above the Indian reser-
vation, until the Indians are almost entirely
deprived of water for irrigation and re-
duced to a starving condition. For several
years the government has issued them ra-
tons, and must either continue this prac-
tice or provide water supply by storage
or otherwise 1t is to the sol ltion of the
latter problem that Mr.. Davis will direct his
energies. Mr.. Davis returned home about
a month ago, after prolonged season of
photographic investigation in the north
west, and he started yesterday for his new
field in Arizona. where he will remain for
several months.

THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS
They Will Hold Caucus Tomorrow AZ
ternoon at 8 O'CLOCK, .r.
simply TO Give Complimentary Nomi-
Determine the Patronage.

A cali has been issued for caucus of the
democrats of the House to meet at o clock
Saturday afternoon. They have little to do
and will be through in ample time to sur
render the hall to the republicans for their
caucus at o'clock. All the democrati tic
caucus has to do is to give complimentary
nomination to their old officers, to select the
four employees awarded the minority and to
elect chairman of the caucus. The chair
manship of the caucus is permanent Of
flee, vacated Eow by the retirement of Judge
Holman from Congress. 1t is thought that
Amos Cummings may be selected. There is
u fight over the four little slices of patron
age the minority are to get an effort being
made to GUST Ike Hill, who has for years
been The democratic whip.
EX-Speaker Crisp reached Washington
this morning, and received many calls from
democrats who wanted to consult about the
situation. He says he does not expect
much legislation to come from this session.
From the general tone of what republicans
are saying, he concludes that they will
probably do a little sonnet ething with the
tariff, and possibly authorize short term
low-interest bonds to meet the deficiency.
Whether anything of the sort will run the
gauntlet to finished legislation is a ques-
ton. He does not look for the republicans
to depart from their general policy as to
legislation. He says that the people in
Georgia are thinking only of their eXposi-
ton and saying little about politics.

May Not Be Elected.
The placing of Mr.. Fishers name in the
combinations list Goes not absolutely guar
artee his election, although, of course, it
gives him great advantage over any
other candidate. 1t will be remembered
that in the Fifty-first Congress the Rev.
Mr.. Ramsdeil was the candidate of large
number of members and received the eau
Gus nomination. When it came time to
vote, however, Mr.. Chadie of Indiana bolt
ed the caucus. He said that he was good
party man and would stand by the party
or all political issues, but that when it
came to selecting a man to pray for his
immortal soul politics did not enter into
it, and he would take the liberty of voting
for whom he pleased. Mr.. Chadle made
his case good, AMI elected the Rev. DR..
Milburn, whose success as chaplain
caused the Senate to break one of the ten
commandments in Coveting its neighbor' S
chaplain, and subsequently taking him away
from the House. o..

THE "NEAR SIDE" RULE.
1t Will BE Incorporated in the New
Police Regulations.

AS announced in The Star of Wednesday,
the Commissioners have agreed upon a
police regulation governing the stoppage of
cars on rapid transit lines. After mature
deliberation and consultation by letter with
the mayors of most of the principal cites,
they came to the conclusion that the best
side of the street for the cars to stop on
was the near side. and as soon as the Police
Regulations (Which have recently been
amendedD are returned from the printer,
they will be published as an advertisement
in the newspapers, and after the thirty
days prescribed by law have expired they
viii. become law.
This regulation caused more discussion
than all the rest of the amendments put
together. The two big lines of rapid transit
had rules that differed, and this caused
much confusion to the travelling public.
Many arguments were advanced on both
sides tending to show which side of the
street vas more acceptable. The Commits
sioDers sought from the municipal heads of
the large cities where rapid transit cars
were in operation their views in regard to
the matter. majority of the replies re-
ceived favored the near side.
1t was decided to hold the matter over
until the return of Commissioner Ross, who
was TO settle the matter by his vote. The
other features Of the regulations however,
were decided upon, and this regulation re-
ferring to the stoppage of the street cars
was prepared, with a blank space left for
the insertion of the word far side" or
near side as future agreement decided
The final decision in the matter was only
recently made known, and Prosecuting At
torney Pugh, who had immediate charge
of the revision of the regulations, was in
formed of the Commissioners action He
thereupou inserted the words near side
IN the blank space left in the regula tions
and sent them off to Philadelphia to be
printed. 1t is expected that the new regu-
latons Will be returned this week If SO
an advertisement will be Immediately in
serted in the newspapers. and the new
regulations will go into effect with the new
year.

ment of Grade Crossings.

The Commissioners We're not at home to
visitors today. All day long they kept in
their respective rooms at the District build
ing and waded through the details of their
subordinates' reports, preparatory to writ
ing their chapters to their annual report.
Yesterday Commissioner Ross labored in
dustriously at the District building for some
time with his part of the report. Commits
sioners Truesdell and Powell each Put in
considerable time at their respective homes
getting up the data for their part Of the
report.
The report will urgently recommend a
bond bill. That has been practically de-
cided upon. Commissioner Truesdeli is
drafting the bill. A new municipal building
will also be urged, and the absolute needs
of the same pointed out. The Commits
sioners also have under consideration the
subject of removal of ashes by the munich
pality, and it is understood reference to
this matter will be made in the report
Grade crossings will be treated at length,
ard Congress urged to enact a law requiring
steam railroads to operate their respective
lines within the city limits by other means
than grade crossings. The report will con-
tain resume of the years work, and the
report of the subordinates.
