THE SENATE ADJOURNS,


Mr.. Aldrich Offers the Bond Provision
-Revenue Bill Laid Aside.
The Senate remained in session yesterday
afternoon until Abs pm, when a short
executive session was held and an adjourn
ment was taken until Monday.
Mr.. Daniel continuing his speech treated
at length the constitutionality and legality
of the excise provisions of the bill. In
times like the present, he said, the govern
ment should proceed upon unquestionable
lines, which certainly would bring the need
ed revenues.
Mr. Daniel said he did not sympathize
with those who were continually denounc-
ing corporations. The laws of the land
clearly showed the people were in favor of
corporations but the people of the country
had a right to expect something in retur n
for the privilege granted TO them.
The reading Of the bill was then pro-
ceeded with.
The committee amendment striking out
the tonnage tax was agreed to.
The committee amendment relating to tie
taxation OF legacies and d.stributfve
shares Of personal property was read. A
committee amendment making the lcga-
cies excepted $4,000 instead of Sa.t00 was
agreed to.
Pending the discussion OF an amendment
by Mr.. Bacon the Inheritance AK para
graph was passed over.
Upon the completion Of tho reading Of
the bill Mr.. Alirich Offered the bond pro-
vision and the provision authorizing GER
tificates of Indebtedness, as substitutes for
the sections of the bill reported by the ma
coinage of the silver seigniofage. the issue
of silver certificates and the issue OF United
States notes
The blIl was then laid aside.

OPPOSE DISCRIMINATION,
Comm fssi0ners' View Concerning n
Messenger COmpany's Wires.

Messenger COmpany's Wires.
In report made by them today to
Chairman Babcock of the House District
committee, on House bill 1O16s, relative to
the Mutual District Messenger Company
the District Commissioners expressed the
opinion that the wires of this company
should be regulated just the same as the
wires of other companies.
THE wires of this company" say the
Commissioners, "are run without any spe-
c;al system across streets and alleys, from
kouse-top to house-top, and occasionally
attached to poles belonging to other COM
panies, and are Disagreement to the city
and danger in case of fire. The COM
pany has refused to comply with the re-
quest of the Commissioners for assistance
in preparing map showing such OF their
legal wires as cross puolic space, and has
attempted, in some instances, successfully,
1t Is believed, to stretch additional wires
across public space without any authority
whatever.
THE Commissioners think" they state,
that the wires of this company should be
regulated just the same as the wires of the
telephone company and for precisely the
same reasons, and that 1t should be au-
thorized and required to rent duct room
in the telegraph. electric light or telephone
coEduits, or to rent the right to attach its
wires to the existing pole lines; and, fur
ther, to comply with the regulations of the
forcement of the acts of Congress relating
to overhead wires. The Commissioners
therefore recommend that the bill be
amended as follows:
Lines to 8, strike out the words and
that said company be empowered to string
wires to such places as may be in need OF
police protection and insert in lieu there
of the following: And said company may
rent and use duct room in any telegraph
electric light or telephone conduit, or at
tach its wires to the poles of any telegraph
or telephone company existing in accord
ance with law, upon agreement with the
owner thereof and under regulations pre-
scribed by the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict of Columbia
The Commissioners also recommend that
the act be amended so as to reserve to Con-
gress the right to alter. amend or repeal It,
With the amendments suggested by them
the Commissioners recommend favorable
action on the measure.
