THE HOUSE..

The House met at 1 o'clock, with
Speaker Bates in the chair.
"Ought not to pass" was reported on
the valued policy" bill of Mr.. Mellen of
Worcester on a resolve to refund to
Albert Tuson of Worcester S2l00 for
felt on bail bond.
The House had a discussion over the
adverse report on the bill to repeal the
street watering act of 1897 assessing the
expense upon the abutters, Mr.. Clarke
of Boston objected to the present law,
which was an attempt to evade the
debt limit
Mr.. Puffer of Springfield hoped an ad-
verse report would be accepted. There
was no opposition to the law except
what came from Boston. It worked
well everywhere, and was a satisfactory
law.
Mr. Clerke of Boston offered a sub
stitute bill, and said if the bill were
substituted he would amend to except
the other cities In the state.
The House refused to substitute and
accepted the adverse report
The House adjourned at 2.4O o'clock.

Germany has not actually demanded
the recall of Mr.. Chambers, the Amer
lean chief Justice at Samoa, but has
merely intimated that such action is
desired. The distinction IS chiefly dip
lomatic in character. 1t does not APP
pear that Mr.. Chambers conduct has
been always judicious, and there seems
to be no pretence that it has been. On
the other hand, so far as our govern
ment is at present informed, the chief
otfense lies at the door OF the Ger
mans, and If Consul Rose is recalled,
as Raffel has been, and the action of
the German agents disavowed, it is
said in Washington that our govern
ment would acquiesce, and then bust
ness would be resumed with a new deal

The Texas Senate is the first to make
torma proposition for new federal
constitution to meet the needs Of the
country at the present day. 1t is true,
the old thing has been patched in six
teen places, and by constant use has
been stretched considerably from It's
original shape, but, like an aged gar
ment. it fits the better and is the more
comfortable and adjustable to our joints
and limbs on that account. Moreover,
1t is by no means certain that we would
get a more convenient and serviceable
instrument if an attempt should be
made. There are enough political and
social fads and isms clamoring for rec
ognition to keep a convention in SEES
sion for a generation, and as much
more time would be required to secure
Its adoption by the several states. This
is one of the things that cannot be
damned through"

Recent events have not given any
perceptible boom to that pleasing but
illusory democratic scheme Of enlist
ing Porto Ricans, Cubans and Filipi-
nos to fight our battles for US in the
colonies, and thus relieving us of the
necessity of maintaining an army COM
mensurate with our responsibilities.
The time may come when natives will
be useful, but dispatches of the last
two or three days indicate that we may
yet have to send over an American fire
department to help the army.

mittee on mercantile affairs.

first witness. He said the charges IN

SIZE. This year, having q few more
calls, it was about 5000.
Samuel L. Powers, counsel of the
New England Telephone Company
said on the theory of the petitioners,
there ought to be state supervision of
hotels, water companies, groceries, ex-
press companies, etc. The Massachu-
sets Telephone Company was going to
furnish competition in Boston. He said
the actual profit was less than five
cents day per instrument, and where
il years ago a message cost the sub
scriber five cents, today it only cost
him a cent and a half.

CiTlES.

The committee on cities heard AS
sistant City Solicitor Morgan of Wor-
cester on bill to permit Worcester
TO change the grade of Belmont and
shrewsbury streets over the land of
the commonwealth. He submitted
plans and the matter was left open to
await a communication from Gen.
lockwood Hoar on the matter, The
bill allows the city council to change
the grade of Belmont street from Lake
Quinsigamond to Shrewsbury street
and Shrewsbury street from Belmont
to East Central streets to loo feet wide.
Assistant City Solicitor Morgan ex-
planned the need of the change, show
ing plans of the streets, and there was
no oppOsition.

Quay, or a democratic senator within
ten days, is said to be the ultimatum

Congressman Joe Sibley's notification to
Wanamaker and the allied anti-Quay
forces. Inasmuch as Joe has himself
been at various times the reputed re-
cipfent of favors at the hands of Quay,
the announcement may be given quite

tor corralled his expected democratic
following? What was the price?

ARBITRATION.

The state board of arbitration and
Cancellation submitted to the House it's
18th annual report.
The controversies to which the atten-
ton of the board has been directed has
been fewer during 1898 than for several
years past, but the strikes at New Bed
ford, Brockton, Marlboro, have been
unusually noteworthy.
The controversies Of which the board
has taken active cognizance during the
year involve more or less directly en-
ployes whose yearly earnings are esti-
mated at $4227, $50. The total earnings
under ordinary conditions of the fac
tories involved are estimated at
l,S49, l03. The expense of maintaining
the state board for the year has been
$S,14. The report contains no recon-
mendationS.

The metropolitan parks commission
has spent 100000 in the six years of
its existence. and it's last report sug-
gests that it has about reached the end
OF its rope. In fact, it advises that no
more reservations be acquired till the
tax payers have had time TO count the
cost and balance accounts. The me-
tropolitan park system may be deemed
the seven wonders of the state. A
commission that deliberately recon-
mends cessation of expenditures,
however. stands in class by itself.
There are no others like II.

LEGISLATURE.
Uneventful Day at Great
and General Court.

Boston, Feb. 24.-But little routine
business was transacted in either house
today, but the committees We're kept
busy giving hearings.
Assistant City Solicitor Morgan of
Worcester was before the committee on
cities in support of the bill to change
the grade of Belmont and Shrewsbury
streets of that city.
The discussion of the adverse report
on the bill to repeal the street watering
tax of 1897 caused practically the only
debate in the House.

gent and others for repeal of the license

Gov. Wolcott's veto of the bill re-
storing the three days of grace for the
payment of sight drafts is at variance
with the sentiment Of the state board
Of trade and of some portion of the
business community. Yet it must be
confessed that the governor makes a
good presentation of his side of the
case, especially when he emphasizes
the desirabillty of uniformity In com
mercial usage and cites the practice of
two-thirds of the states. The expedl-
ent of making sight drafts specifically
payable three days after sight would,
as the governor says, remove about all
the cause Of complaint.
