FIRE AND POLICE BILL.

The fire and police bill was reached
at this juncture, being the last of the
special orders. Upon the bill being
taken up, Mr.. Morrison moved to
amend by substituting for section 1
of the committee bill, section Of H. b
No. 11S, being the bill prepared by
Judge Powers.
Mr.. Critchlow moved to amend the
amendment by substituting the 5rst
thirty-eight lines of section / of S. b.
No. s, as it came from the senate, for
the first twenty-six lines of section 1
of the committee bill. Mr.. Morrison
accepted the amendment.
A motion by Curtis to indefinitely
postpone, was defeated by a heavy ma
iority.
Mr.. Stevens maintained in opposing
the motion to amend, that for the ap-
pointing power to be reposed in the
governor would tend to keep the COM
mission out of politics, as he believed
it should be- Asked when there was
precedent for such a provision, Mr.
Stevens replied, California and Colo
RADIO"
Mr.. Critchlow explained the differ
enee between the proposed amendment
and the bill as originally introduced
and as amended by the committee. The
former he said. perpetuated the pres
ent board in Office, and the bill as it
came from the house committee IeglS-
lated the board out of office. The pro-
posed amendment removed both con-
tingencies.
DR.. Condor appealed to the gentle
men from outside of cities to support
the bill as it came from committee.
Bolitho was surprised that the dele
cations from the cities could not come
together. He could not conceive the
sense of imposing on the governor the
duty of appointing municipal officers.
Mr.. Nye spoke at length, explaining
his reasons for departing from the
committee recommendations. He was
very much in favor of the proposed
amendment.
Mr.. Monson was pleased with the ac-
ton of the chairman of the commit
tee, Mr.. Nye. He, too, was in favor OF
the amendment, and for the reason
that he was always opposed to cen
tralizing so much authority in the
hands Of the chief executive.
Mr.. Ferguson of Carbon read news
paper contribution in too low a tone
for any one to catch what he said, but
1T was taken to be in opposition to the
governor appointing the board.
Mr.. Gushing favored the amendment.
He had, he said, been one of the So
called repeaiers, but he had founG 1t
the sense of the legislature that the
commission remain fixture; he would
therefore fall in line, but he hoped a
possibility would not be left open for
a recurrence of the experiences of
Denver, when the military had to be
called into service to quell disturbances
among the police themselves.
Messrs. Raddatz and Gibbs, as out
/ side members. paired in favoring and
opposing the amendment respectively.
Mr. Howard thought the amendment
! a good one. The people had elected
the present officers of Salt Lake, who
had appointed the present board, and
ought to take their medicine. The gov
ernor, he believed. was as good a man
as could have been found in the party

"UNBOUNDED GALL"
WHAT GOV. MCCONNELL is CHARGED
WITH.

MOSCOW, Idaho, March 10.-Govern-
or Mcconnell on Sunday telephoned
Sheriff Campbell of this county that he
had heard rumors that mob was or
ganizing to take murderers Smith and
Gordon out and hang them, and that
if the sheriff needed aid he would fur
nish him a regiment to protect the
prisoners and county property, holding
the sheriff responsible for the same.
Sheriff Campbell Immediately sent the
following reply:
There is and has been no founda-

Office will be conducted rigidly in &C
cordance with law. The unbounded
gall you exhibit in seeking to direct
my office is no doubt surprising to those

ALABAMA ELECTIONS.
Senator Chandler Presents the
Views of the Majority of the Com
mfttee on Privileges and EIec-
tiOns.

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator
neges and elections, today presented
to the senate the views of the majority
of the committee, consisting Of the Re
publican members, recommending the
adoption of Senator Aliens resolution
providing for an investigation of the
Alabama state and legislative elections
of 1894. The report makes reference
to the election of 1892. in which Thorn
as c.. Jones, regular Democrat, and
Reuben +. Kolb were the rival candi-
dates for governor. While in this cleo
ton Jones was declared governor, the
committee assert that this was done
by the wholesale Justification of the re-
turns by dishonest election officials in
pursuance of a great conspiracy, DELHI
erately organized, long before the cleo
ton, for the purpose of changing the
political complexion of the state in
case it should appear that Kolb and
his supporters had carried the state"
In 1894, Kolb was again a candidate
for governor, with Hon. w. o. Oates
as his opponent on the regular Demo-
cratic ticket. The report asserts that
Kolb was elected at this time, as were
a majority of the candidates for the
legislature on the same ticket, but theJt
they were not given the offices on ac-
count of the fact that an enormously
fictitious vote was returned
Fifteen counties are mentioned as
giving returns of $4,000 votes, whereas
only 1906 votes were cast. Therefore
Mr. Oates, instead of being elected by
81, 5S2 votes, was defeated by about
1000 majority. The committee say the
Kolb legislature was counted out in
the same way, and that in both cleo
lions the fraudulent returns came
mainly from the "black' counties; that
Kolb and his ticket carried a majority
of the white" counties, and that the
negroes failing to register, false poll
lists were made and .'aEse returns
made and certified favorable to Kolb's
antagonists.
"The case" it is asserted. els not
merely one of local frauds which hap
pened here and there over the state,
but the case made is that of Wilfully
planned and deliberately manufactured
masses of fraudulent returns, based
upon no votes whatever, but made to
apparently defeat state government
that was actually chosen, and to give
apparent title to a state government
defeated by the voters"
The report gives in detail the par
ticulars concerning the organization of
the Kolb legislature and the election
by it of Mr.. w. S. Reese as United
States senator to hold the seat occu-
pied by Senator Morgan. The COM
mittee says that the investigation
should be made. and the facts made
known. If the charges are we'll found
ed. the report says, it may be the duty
of the senate to GUST Mr.. Morgan from
his seat.
The committee took the position that
there can be no doubt of the right of
the senate to make the investigation.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Respecting the Numbering of Houses
Below Tenth South.

Below Ientn SOUTH
Salt Lake City, Utah, March 10, 1896
TO the Editor OF The Herald:
SeIectman Christopherson has made a
move to properly number our Farmers
Ward houses. This is all right as far as
it goes, but 1t occurs to me that it is not
too late to rectify past errors, by re-
numbering the east and west streets from
Ninth to Twelfth South. The distance
nearly equals four city blocks and from
twelfth South on, the blocks are a mile
each. Houses below Tenth South are
numbered in the twelve hundreds instead
Of the ten hundreds and south of Eleventh
South are in the seventeen hundreds. The
numbers are now correct but the streets
ought to be renumbered, and the county
or city engineer given supervision over
new subdtviSi ons to try as much as pos
stble to establish a new Tenth, Eleventh,
Thirteenth and Fourteenth street and i'll
stead OF a Smith street, changing in a
block to Armstrong. then 10 Brown or
Cleveland or some other respected family
name; try and get all plats to line up to
through streets Then too. there is the
duplication of very many streets which
would be avoided. This would cause but
little confusion now compared to the
greater confusion as the countless homes
90 up during the coming good times.
am sure the postmaster will agree with
me On this point. Respectfully,
ADDISON CAIN.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-General Wes-
ley Merritt, commander OF the United
States in the department OF the north
west, is at the Waldorf. He denies that
he has been called to Washington by the
president to receive instructions to visit
Cuba and investigate and report upon the
progress Of the rebellion

and organization.

He regards he@sltuation from an OPP

that elected him. but he should not be
given such power.
The question being put. the amend
ment was adopted upon divisiOn-20 to IA.
POWER TO REMOVE.
Mr.. Morrison moved to further amend
section L by giving the city council power
70 remove a member of the commission
by q twO-thirds vote
Mr.. Crttchlow could see where this
power could be abused. An unScrupulOus
mayor might find one or more of the
members of the board whom it was inn
possible to handle and his party being
in power 1t might be possible to remove
such member OF members and substitute
people more suitable to the administra-
ton.
Mr.. Cushing and Mr. Harris favored
the amendment and Mr.. Lewis opposed
Upon division it was adopted-t7 to II.
The reading then progressed to the
end when Mr.. Curtis offered a substi-
tute for the bill. repeating uncOndition-
ally the present law.
Mr. Nye moved to lay the substitute
on the table and place S. Is. No. on
final passage. The motion prevailed and
the speaker was about to order the roll
call when Mr.. Harris raised the point OF

Mr.. Cromwell then Immediately moved
an amendment to subsidize in add1-
tion to the route from Boston TO New
Orleans, those from Washington TO St
Louis, from Cincinnati to New Orleans,
from Chicago to Council Bluffs, from
Chicago to Minneapolis and from
Kansas City to Newton, Kan, 500, 900.
He could not see, he said,
WHY OTHER LINES
besides the southern carrying fast
mails should not be as much Untitled
to subsidies as that line.
In reply to a question from MI
Cousins Rep.) of Iowa, Mr.. Loud de-
clared that the acknowledgements for
years had condemned mail subsidies.
Mr.. Cousins asked who was responsible
for the proposed subsidy from Chicago
to Council Bluffs? Mr.. Loud replied
that if he knew he would not be at
liberty to say.
Mr. Lorimer (Rep9 of Illinois, now
ever, undertook to enlighten him.
He Gorimer) fathered the provision.
The chair sustained point OF order
against the Cromwell amendment. Mr..
Loud thereupon moved to strike out
the appropriation for southern trunk
line facilities. He reiterated his
statement that every postmaster-gen
eral since 1890 had
CONDEMNED THIS SUBSIDY.
but had accepted what was considered
the direction of congress. The Penn
sylvania road, he said, was the strong
factor behind the subsidy. He ar
gued that the special mail train was
| two hours slower than the regular
train and did not facilitate the mails
Mr.. Crisp. in support of the provision,
called attention to the proviso attach
! ed to the appropriation lodging in the
postma ster- general power to WIthnold
the appropriation, if it was not deemed
necessary ito promote the interest OF
the postal service" If the postmaster
general had condemned this approprla-
ton, why, in view of that provision
| had he expended the money? The
| postmaster general fixed the schedule
of the train which was run for the cole
purpose of facilitating the mails. For
every failure to put the mails through
! on schedule time he enforced pre-
scribed penalty.
Mr.. Kyle (Dem.) Of Wisconsin,
OPPOSED THE APPROPRIATION,
he said, because he believed it wrong
in principle. He quoted Postmaster,
! Generals Dickinson, Wanamaker and
Postmaster General Wilson against the
appropriation.
Mr.. Wellington (Rep.) of Maryland
warmly commended the object and eff
feet Of the appropriation which he
said, tended to cement the union be
tween the north and the south. Con-
gress, he said, could not afford to take
a step backward in this matter. On a
rising vote the Loud resolution tc
strike out the appropriation for the
southern subsidy was carried, 100 tC
&c. Tellers were demanded and the
amendment was defeated, SO to la.
The chair ruled out the two succeed
ing paragraphs appropriating SCI, 00(
for special facilities from Kansas City
to Newton, Kan, and 100000 from Chi
cago to Council Bluffs, Ia.
Mr.. Miller (Rep.) of Kansas. appeal
ed from the decision of the chair but
the chair was sustained 120 to 20. The
appropriation for car fare and bicycle
allowance was increased from 100000
to $4,000.
The committee rose and at $40 the
house adjourned.

Francisco Harbor.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The
coast defense vessel, Monadnock, the
keel of which was laid at Mare Island
navy yard twenty-one years ago, made
her first appearance in San francisco
harbor today. She was on her trial
run. having been made ready for sea
at the navy yard few days ago.
The Monadnock has led a Rip Van

except at time there having been a
spasr1odic awakening aboard Of her.
She was commenced in 1875, and on
lines that would have led TO the COM
pletion Of monitor of that period.
Then came along a delay, succeeded by
short periods Of progress, until in 1885
she was launched. Since she was COM
menced ideas have changed as to naval
fighters, and she is as near the modern
type now as designing and engineers
skill can make her She has two tur-
rets heavily armored and carries four
heavy guns, with a strong battery OF
rapid firing guns. AS a fighter she is
rated well up with the Monterey, and
the two could easily dispatch anything
now in the Pacific.
