The Depot Bog.

The muddy bog on Bay street, near
the depot, has been protested against
any number of times; but it is still
there. The remedy would, 1t appears,
be easy of accomplishment. If the
city authorities would order the rail-
road to correct the evil, the nuisance
would be speedily abated. AS it is
now, walking to the depot on Bay
street is an impossibiity.

Democratic Members Are Still
Kicking Against the
Inevitable.
REPUBLICAN RULES ARE RIGID.
No Extension of the Debate to Be Allowed
The Florida Senator's Credentials
Again Presented.

Washington, March 25.-The fourth
and last day of general debate on the
tariff bill brought forth a request at
the opening of the session by Mr.. Bal
ley for an extension of two hours
of the debate. Mr.. Payne said
that the feeling of the repub-
llcan side had been that it would be
better to devote more time to the five
minutes debate and less to the general
discussion. At least, until Chairman
DIngley arrived, he must object to the
request.
MIR. Talbert opened the discussion
in a tive-minute speech against the
bill. He said this tiresome debate re-
minded him of a preacher of whom he
once read, who discoursed to the peo-
pie on the major and minor prophets.
He dwelt so long on the first list that
when he came to speak of the minor
prophets and asked: "Now, there is
Hosea; where snail we put him?" 4
good old deacon replied: "Well, you
can put him in my seat. I'm going
home" Laughter.)

by the committee on privileges and
elections in the matter of admission Of
senator's under appointment of gov
ernors.
Senator PascO disclaimed any idea
of wishing to find fault with the COM
mitlee on privileges and elections,
and on his motion Mr.. Henderson's
credentials were referred to it.

tor Davis, the senate proceeded TO the

MORRISON ON TRUSTS.
w. r. Morrison, the chairmrn of the
interstate commerce commission, says
that the supreme court decision In the
Trans Missouri case applies as we'll to
joint traffic and southern railway and
steamship associations. If common
carriers may combine and keep up
rates on prices of transportation,
which make part of the price and cost
of goods, why enact an antitrust law
to prevent combinations and agree
ments to control production and keep
up prices?

the Riflemen. When the new uni

until they could button on the regi-
mentals in which they make so neat
an appearance.

According to one of the tourists
