AUSTIN LETTER.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 4.-(Special
correspondence.)-The City of Aus
tin after long waiting at last has
its electric machinery at the pow
erhouse in operation. The lights
in the high iron towers were
turned on for short while Thurs
day afternoon as a test and for
most part proved satisfactory.
With its great towers capped with
a bunch of arc lights Austin is
now the best lighted city in the
state.
Through a mistake OF the clerks
the appropriation bill recently
passed by the Legislature allows
for the state printing only $1,000
instead of $4,000 annually.
Through this error the state print
ing will have to be done on credit
for the next two years.
The county and city governments
here are working hand in hand In
the matter Ola road or drive way
along the lake side to what is
known as Bull creek. The road
will run up and down the hills on
the lake side and will be one of the
most picturesque drives in the
south.
The insurance department Of the
state government, A. J. Rose, com.
missioner, has given the "Ameri.
can Benevolent Legion" which was
being organizad all over the state
a black eye. The Legion is alleged
to have used the name of the Cali
fornia Safe Deposit and Trust Co., Of
San Francisco as Supreme Trustee
but the alleged supreme trustee
says that their name is used with
/ out their consent or knowledge
and that they know nothing about
the alleged $1,000,000 capital
Hence theIorganizers Of the Amer
can Benevolent Legion were or
dered to quit business in Texas.

HILLS AMENDMENT LOST.
Long Struggle Over Refer
ring to Courts Ends in
Defeat.
AS TO IMPEACHING RICKs,
Committees Report Will Be
Considered by the House
Q Saturday.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-After de-
bate covering week, the senate today
voted down Mr.. HilPs proposition to
refer the legality of the income tax to
the courts, only five senators joining
with MIR. Hill i'll supporting the PROPOSE
tion. But the vote was not taken until
late in the day, and up to that time
there was the most spirited debate that
the Hill proposition has called out. Mr..
Vest was the principal speaker Of the
day, and in view Of his service on the
tariff conference committee, there was
great interest manifested in some of
the committee secrets which he felt
justified in disclosing. In the course
of his speech Mr.. Vest called attention
to the gravity Of the tariff war
which foreign countries had begun
against the United States, as result
OF the one-tenth sugar differential. AL
though Mr.. Hill failed in referring the
income tax to the courts he secured the
adoption Of an important amendment
limiting the fnterrogatories Of the Off
GERS seeking to collect the tax. The
amendment will have the effect Of COM
pelling the treasury department TO
change its regulations as to collecting
the income tax Mr. Lodges effort to
have income tax officials placed under
civil service rules was defeated. The
income tax appropriation was then
agreed to and the deficiency appropria-
ton bill passed. Mr.. Aldrlch secured
the passage of a resolution calling on
the president for Information as to the
negotiations with Germany in regard to
the tariff and retaliation

BItte's history. The horrible awful
ness of the scene after the explosions
was beyond description. Words could
give no idea of it. ltpreSented more
the appearance Of a field of battle than
anything else. The dead we're strewD
everywhere and the cries and grOanS
of the injured and dying presented
a scene altogether unearthly. Blood
and brains were Spattered about. Here
were legs and arms scattered around,
and there were pieces of flesh and en-
trails. 1t was Sickening. Between the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
depots, space of 500 feet, the ground
was literally covered with parts Of hui
man beings and with the dead and in
jured. The scene was one OF utter and
absolute destruction. Houses i'll the
vicinity were as thoroughly wrecked as
if a cyclone had passed through them.
One of the rescuing corps gathered
twenty-seven dead bodies in one pile.
Eight were i'll another, two and three in
other piles. The rescuers pulled some
of the bodies outStill q uivering, the
remnants of the human beings still
grOaning. while legs and arms had been
torn OFT.
ShapeIess Trunks Quivered
and died in the arms of the living. The
work of rescue was prosecuted in
earnest. Every vehicle i'll the city was
brought into service to carry away the
scores of dead and the hundreds of in-
jurcd. The hospitals were filed. The
spare rooms in the hotels were taken,
and private houses were thrown open
where it was necessary.
The sights In the undertaking estab-
liShments this morning are something
awful. All are crowded with heaps Of
human flesh. Here was half head
and mutilated trunk below it; in an
other place an armleSS and legleSs
trunk, with the face distorted be-
yOnd all possibility OF recognition.
Scarcely any of the corpses were recoI-
nizable. and the com piete roll Of dead
will probably never be known. There
are twelve dead at the Butte Undertake
ing rooms; ten at the Montana, and
nineteen at the Sherman, Forty-tliree
wounded are in the hospitals, and
twenty eight of them are In critical

THE GLOBE 1XDoRsED.

Those Republican papers which, dur
ing the fall campaign, proclaimed so
loudly and boasted so valiantly of the
great saving which WAS TO be ac-
complished by the pine land investi-
eating committee, are coming to their
senses and beginning 10 take a sober
view Of the case made out by the CON-
mittee. The Minneapolis Tribune, which
was one of the most prominent screech>
erS at that time, and which made its
campaign for the Republican ticket
largely Oh the ground that the party
was pledged to carry out the work be-
gun by the committee, has this to say
of the case which was decided by Judge
Russell Tuesday, in which the state
was completely routed:
In fact, the state was placed in the position
of attempting, by virtue of a legal technical
i!y, 10 hold UP the Sheylin- Carpenter com

NATIONAL ROADS.

A Question That Is Worthy of
Consideration.
To the Editor of the Globe.
We have town roads, county roads
and state roads. Why should we not
not have national roads?
This question is worthy of consider
alton by the ''good roads convention"
A system Of national highways might
be adopted by the general government
to be carried out from time to time as
most required.
AS all roads centered in Rome. so
such national roads might radiate from
the capital to our national borders or
the seacoasts. The needs of the postal
service and Of the transportation of
troops and military supplies and the
Importance of such highways being
under the immediate jurisdiction and
protection OF the federal government
would be. it seems TO me, sufficient
reason for such system. Such roads
might be laid out OF such width as TO
admit of the construction of railroads
upon them without interference with
their use in other respects.
Such roads would be a great conven-
ience to the general public, besides fa-
ciitating the functions Of the govern
ment. H.. J. II.

pany for a large sum of money which IL had
expended upon these logs III the utmost good
faith. The state of Minnesota would not
willingly engage in such all enterprise. In
pre- ecipitating it in the name of the state of
Minnesota the pine land Investigating COM
mittee was not representing the lie, its
character or it's dignity.
If the Tribune and its Republican
contemporaries had taken the pains to
investigate the report Of the committee
at the time it was made, as did the
GLOBE, il would not have been placed
in the humiiating position of having
to now censure committee which it so
recently paraded as representing all the
virtues and greater part of the Wis
dom of the Republican party.
When the bench and the press go
hand in hand it may be accepted as
hopeful indication that the bench is
being gradually but certainly elevated.

feet accord with the GLOBES summing

The Question arising in Connec-

Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - After the
passage of several bills of local i'm
portance the morning hour expired, and
the house went into committee of the
11,hole for the further consideration of
the Indian appropriation bill.
Mr.. Walker (Rep., Mass.) took ad-
vantage of the latitude allowed for de-
bate to discuss the conditions Of the
treasury and the sources of revenue out
of which the enormous expenditures of
the government were to be betrayed.
A long debate followed, i'll which Reed
aud Simpson took prominent part.
Mr.. Bland and MIR. McRae made brief
statements of their position, when MIR.
Cockrell, in whose time the debate had
taken place. claimed the floor and pro-
ceeded to discuss the Indian bill. At
the coeciusion of Mr.. CockrelFs re-
marks the committee rose, and at 4:35
the house adjourned.
