debate on the railroad commission bill
introduced by Mr. Healey Of Nolusia. AMI
providing for an elective commission. The
bill was on second reading and amend
ments poured IN In rapid succession from
the opposition. Mr.. Healey. however. had
the House behind him and was easily
master OF the situation. He declared that
the amendments were introduced simply
70 XIII the bill. and boldly defed the op-
position.
The most important amendments Of
fered We're one giving the governor the
power Ct appointing the commissioners
and one permitting persons Interested In
railroads TO serve.
Mr. HeaIey stamped these down. and
She only important amendments accepted
were of an administrative character. and
one fixing the salary Of the commissioners
al $500 instead OF $3.50.

be troubled.
The Senate enjoyed a sensation to-day
in the shape OF a circular sent up from
Jacksonville and scattered through the
chamber warning senators against the
new charter bill for that city recently
introduced, and declaring that its passage
would open the flood gates Of cOrrup-
ton. The circular was signed "One Hun
dred." and was highly nflammatory ia
tone. A committee of three was appoint
cd to investigate the matter. 1t appears
that Mr.. Weeks a pOpulist senator, re-
ceived the package and he asserts that
ii was opened and it's contents distribu-
ted before he was aware of the character
At the afternoon session the commit
tee substitute for the election bill was
taken up and amended among the more
important notifications being one per-
hitting registration within fifteen and
payment of the poll tax within ten days
OF an election
Among the important bills introduced
was one prescribing the powers of cir
cult courts and one empowering the
trustees of the internal Improvement
fund TO sell tidal marsh land. The Sen

on its hands, and will hereafter meet

Hartridge's Election Bill stirs Up the

Jacksonville, Fla. April 25.-The fac

Senator John r. Hartridge has introduced
in the legislature at Tallahassee, pro-

IAN earnest protest against an infamous

I'VE earnestly protest against the at
tempt on the part Of John Il. Hartridge
TO change the charter of our city as af-
fecting the election laws. The present
law. providing, as 1t does, for a perfectly
fair representation of all classes and fac
tions. must be entirely satisfactory to
every honest, fair minded citizen, and
any attempt TO alter or subvert its pro-
Visions must be taken as an attempt and
a declaration of intention to reopen the
food gates Of local political corruption

fraught with danger and must lead to
most serious consequences. If only the
possession of the offices and the paltry
perquisites pertaining to them were in

ion affecting the Venable insurance law as

placed on view before the insurance com
panies In the Northeastern Tariff Associa-
ton. the agents of the association, would

parties insured by them. which would be
giving their private business to the public
