Advantages Of Municipal Owner.
ship of Public Utilities.

Municipal ownership gives the
people the service at cost; or if there
is profit it inures to the benefit of
all the people, instead of going to en-
rich an individual or corporation.
In case of an electric light plant for
our city municipal ownership II ran
in connection with our water works,
the plant could be operated by the
person having that in charge, and it
should be operated both day and
night. Then in case of fire the person
in charge would be on the ground,
and at the first alarm could arouse
the people by blowing the whistle
and applying the pressure to the
pumps, so that the water could be
immediately available. At the re-
cent fire in the destruction of the
Lutheran church the person employ
ed was absent, and when he
reached the water works did not
understand how to apply the pressure
to the pump and the consequence
was no volume of water to extinguish
the fire until too late to be of any
avail. Aud in the recent fire Mt
Byrnes store had the person in
charge been in the engine room when
the alarm was given and Immediate
ly applied the pressure the probabili.
ties that most of that valuable stock
OF goods might have been saved, and
possibly the building. For the water
works alone the city cannot afford
the expense of an engineer there at
all hours, but if the water works and
electric light plant are both owned
by the city and operated in copjunc-
tion an engineer could be In con-
slant attendance ready for any emer-
gency that might arise.

BIG RUSH OF BILLS.
Many Measures Passed in Both
Branches of Congress.
An UNUSUAL SCENE In THE SENATE.
Senators Display Great Eagerness to
Secure Passage OF Their Pet Bills

Washington, March IA frenzy of
DAY. The bills passed were principally
blll-passing was on in the senate Tues
public building measures, and at times
during the day and night the scenes in
the senate were remarkable. Senators,
usually staid and dignified sticklers for
order and decorum in the chamber,
clamored for consideration of bills pro-
viding for the erection of government
buildings in which they We're interest
ed. Late in the afternoon large batch
OF such measures passed by the house
was received by the senate. Instantly
confusion reigned. Senators crowded
about the clerks desk, and began to
sort over the bills from the house, pick
ing them out as they found their own
as it they We're choosing valentines
from a bargain counter. In the area in
front of the president of the senate a
half dozen senator's were waving bills,
and endeavor:ng to obtain recognition
from the chair. The unusual proceed
ing called out a protest from Senator
Platt (Conn.), who demanded that SEN
ators take their seats, and that order
be restored. At times throughout the
sessions of the day and night the scenes
were repeated, as more building bills
were reported from the house. Bills
carrying an aggregate of $s,ooO,O00 or
Sl0,000,O0o were passed, and many more
thathad not been passed by both houses
of congress were placed as amendments
on the sundry civil appropriation bill.
Finally, at late hour, an amendment
to the sundry civil bill was adopted APP
propriating nearly $4,OoO,OOo for the
preliminary work on the buildings
which had been authorized. The sun

House.
Washington, March 1.-The house
spent practically the entire time of the
seven-hour session Tuesday passing the
public building bills favorably acted
upon by the committee of the whole 10
days ago. The opposition sought in
vain to consume time by roll calls and
other filibustering tactics at various
times Tuesday, but their numbers were
SO slim that in no case could they Sc
cure roll call. AT last their efforts to
impede the passing of the bills was
abandoned, and they were passed with
great rapidity. sixty-one bills, in all,
were passed, carrying $9,352,0oo, $780,
900 of which, however, (the amountap-
propriated for the New York custom
house, is to be repaid from the proceeds
of the sale of the old building. Only
one bill failed, that appropriating $685.
600 for building at Bluefield, w. Va.
The conference report upon the post
Office appropriation bill agreeing to the
senate amendment making an appro-
priation for the southern mail subsidy
was adopted. The general deficiency
appropriation was reported, and will be
considered to-day. 1t is the last of the
budgets to be acted upon by the house,
and will probably be passed under sus-
pension of the rules.
The Claims Bill.
Washington, March 1.-After many
struggles the committee of the house
on the general claims appropriation
bill Tuesday reached an agreement.
The bill as agreed upon appropriates
$3,1o0,768, or about one-third of the
amount carried by the omnibus claims
bill which originally passed the senate.
The conference bill includes all the
claims allowed TO date under the Bow
man and Tucker acts, the French spolia-
ton claims and also number of mis-
cellaneous claims. All the state and
school and church claims were elm
mated from the bill. The bill as it
passed the house carried 81 100000
The Deficiency Bill.
Washington, March 1.-The general
deficiency appropriation bill was re-
ported to the house Tuesday. 1t carries
S21, os9,3s4. Two most important items
were inserted, one provides $1,50O,00O
as an increase to the appropriation for
army transportation and is specifically
designed to pay the cost of transporting
back to Spain the Spanish prisoners
held in the Philippines by the in
surgents, and the other appropriates
$1,31o.oo0 to satisfy the balance due on
judgment of the court of claims in favor
of the Southern Pacific railroad, which
has been held up pending an adjust
ment between the government and the
Central Pacific.
