Elaborate Report on the Senate Bill
for That Purpose.
TIE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT
Its Object and Effect Reviewed by
Representative jenkins.
GRANTS PARTING WORDS

Mr.. Jenkins of Wisconsin has written an
elaborate report upon Senate bill 457s, for
the removal of disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth article Of the Constitution.
The report says:
THE fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States was proposed
by Congress and submitted to the ratifica-
ton Of the states by the act Of June 18,
1866. On July 20, 1868, Mr.. Seward, then
Secretary Of State. after receiving notice
OF ratification by the reconstructed legisla-
lures, issued his proclamation announcing
that the fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stftution of the United States was in force,
and shortly thereafter Congress declared
the same a part Of the Constitution
Section of the amendment with which
the committee have to deal in effect pro-
vides that any person who had previously
taken an oath as a member of Congress- or
as an officer Of the United States or as a.
member of any state legislature, or as an
executive or judicial officer of any state to
support the Constitution of the United
States, who engaged in insurrection or re-
bellion against the same or gave aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof should not
be a senator, or representative in Congress,
or elector Of President and Vice President,
or hold any Office, civil or military, under the
United States, but Congress might by two
thirds vote of each house remove such dis
ability Thus five classes of persons could
be placed under disability by the amend
ment in question. No doubt the Immediate
object of the amendment was to prevent
the return to public life Of some of the
leaders Of the rebellion, and no doubt Con-
gress was Of the opinion that the security
of the government required. that the per-
sons described In the third section should
for the time being, be excluded from Con-
gress, from the electoral college, and from
all civil and military offices. state and fed

But that it was not intended that this
exclusion should be permanent or universal

RIOTERS IN EVIDENCE

The scene of war was transferred yester-
day afternoon. and for two hours and
half a fierce battle was waged at the Ma
tional Base Ball Park. Armed soldiers by
the hundred marched to and fro, and every
now and then the sharp orders of the COM
manding officers were punctuated with the
rattle Of musketry. Highly polished swords,
bayonets and brass buckles glinted in the
rays of the afternoon sun. and the twelfth
annual competitive drill of the Washington
High School Cadets was on.
The I'd Battalion of Cadets, Companies E,
F, G and H. were put through the long
program of field maneuvers and the man

could agree as to the relative merits of
the different companies. The drill will be
continued at o'clock this afternoon, when
the four companies of the LIST Battalion will
be put through the PAGES. At the conclu-
sion of this afternoons competition the
annual dress parade will take place at the
park, and the prize banner awarded to the

can be said in support of the passage of
this bill than was written in the summer
of 1883 by the victorious general of the ar
mics of the United States when he sat I'm
the chamber of death, confronting with the
lmperturbable character of his nature the
last great adversary. He had but a few

correctness of this prophecy, but 1 fell that

NOT PLEASING TO ALDERMEN
Continued from First Page.


tion of the committee was adopted
was the amendment that the sum to be
expended on Edgewood avenue be not
more than $1,000.
Another matter which aroused con-
siderable interest was the action of the
aldermen in voting to give the mayor
leave to withdraw a petition. The pc
tition was one for the paving of Chapel
street with vitrified brick, a matter in
which the mayor seems to be greatly
interested. This petition had been read
and was being discussed, when Alder
man Pickett arose and read a protest
against the paving of Chapel street.
This protest was signed by the major
ity of the large property owners on
Chapel street between Park and State
streets, the portion of Chapel street for
which the paving was proposed. At
tention was also called to the fact that
when the matter was before the street
committee not a property owner on
Chapel street appeared in favor of it.
1t was finally voted, on motion of Al
derman Dewell, "to give the petitioner
leave to withdraw"
When this motion was offered some
objection was made as to it's wording,
the objection being raised that the mat
ter came in the form Of a recommenda-
ton from the mayor, but Mr.. DeWelrs
contention that it was petition was
sustained and the motion was finally
passed in the form in which Alderman
Dewell put it.
The recommendation of the board of
finance that only $4,000 be transferred
to the account of repair of streets from
the $4,000 in the account for paving
streets met with cold reception from
the aldermen. 1t is practically the
unanimous desire of both boards of the
common council that the entire amount,
$4,000, be transferred, but this is OPP
posed by the mayor and the board of
finance, which recommended that $4,000
be transferred and that the remaining
$4,000 be used to pave wall street,
Temple street on the green and Dixwell
avenue.
The point was raised in the alder
mems meeting by Alderman Chilling
worth that the paving of Temple street
had not been considered by the court
of common council. He moved to
amend the recommendation so that
the 1000 would be transferred.
Alderman Dewell held that the alder
men had no right under the charter to
amend recommendation of the board
of finance.

The chair declared Alderman Dew
ellis point well taken, however, and a
vote on the amendment being taken 1t
resulted in IS for the amendment and
against it. This vote was not suffi-
cient to pass the amendment however,
a five-siXths vote being necessary.
Alderman Pickett then voted to rec
ommend the matter to the board OF
. finance and it was so voted.
Alderman Dewell explained that his
motion was made in good faith. He did
not desire to interfere with the paving
of streets, but he wanted to go by the
charter and did not believe that under
it's provisions money could be trans
ferred except by recommendation of the
board of finance.
At this point Alderman Brennan took
occasion to severely criticise in a gen.
eral way the new charter. He said
that he couldn't see what it meant.
Alderman Rourke said that it was
easy enough to understand it. He said
that by reading between the lines the
words "perpetuation of the republican
party would be found.
Alderman Dewell smilingly remark

remarked that he hardly thought that

Several other matters Of minor i'm
portance We're then considered. 1t was
voted to order the director of public
works to advertise for bids for the
White street sewer and award the con-
tract within thirty days.
A resolution was passed to invite the
National Association of Locomotive
Engineers to hold their national con-
vention for 1900 in this city,
The report of the committee on har-
Dor lines was tabled for printing.
A recommendation from the claims
committee that $3.50 be paid to e. A.
Anketell for damages for an injury re-
ceived by him from falling on an icy
sidewalk was recommitted on motion of
Alderman Pickett.
1t was voted to pay $50 damages to
John A. Mcintyre for damages to his
horse sustained from tree projecting
beyond the curb.
1t was 1870 o'clock when the board
adjourned.
