TO SPUR LAW MAKERS
Adjournment Resolution Intro.
duced in the House.
NECESSITY FOR SAVING WOOD.

Hardly Probable That the Two Houses
VIII Agree to Fix IA Date for Adjourn
ment just ut Present-GoverDor Pin
gree's Nominations for Railway Asses
sors-Much Interest in Senator Gra-
hams Inheritance Tax Bill.
Lansing. Mich, March 21.-The. legis-
,ature has been reminded that time is
still adhering TO its old habit of flying
ard that due consideration to the rights
of the taxpayers of the state requires
that something be done. This reminder
came in the shape Of a resolution Of
fered by Representative Chamberlain
providing that final adjournment be
fixed for Wednesday, May II. This date
is two weeks to a day earlier than ad-
journment was reached two years ago.
when business was considerably further
advanced at this date than it is this
year. For this reason it is hardly prob
able that the two houses will agree to
fix date for final adjournment just at
present. 1t is doubtful if the introducer
really expects favorable action, his
principal object being to bring his fell
low Legislators to a realizing sense Of
the necessity for saving wood very
ment is to be reached before midsum-
mer.
Now that the Atkinson bill has become
law there is much speculation as to
what Governor Pingree's slogan will
be in the next campaign. the impression
being general that he will be a candi-
date for a third term A member Of his
cabinet for the past ewo years and who
has just been nominated for another
term, told me the other day that 1t
will probably be the repeal Of the spe-
cial charter of the Michigan Central
Railway company.
Belief of the Pingree Man.
There are bills TO repeal this charter
pending in both houses at the present
time but this Pingree man expressed
the belief that they cannot pass this
legislature. If they do not, he said
the governor will. in his opinion, go be-
fore the people on that issue and fight
for a legislature that will repeal this
charter. Without such repeal the Mich
igan Central cannot be made subject to
the provisions of the Atkinson law, al
though it is the particular road the
friends OF the new system of taxation
desire to reach.
Speaking of the Atkinson bill sug-
gests the thought that it will not be
long before the supreme court will hand
down a decision disposing Of several
points raised as to its constitutionality,
If, indeed, the opinion does not cover
the entire question. The cases involv-
ing the validity Of the law of 1881 under
which telephone and telegraph compan-
ies are taxed, which were instituted by
Governor Pingree and the Tecumseh
Telephone company, were argued last
week by some Of the most eminent
lawyers in the state. The array Of
counsel included Attorney General May
nard. Alfred Russell, Benton Hanchett,
Ashley Pond, Henry NJ. Cheever,
Charles Flowers and John j. Speed. 1t
is supposed that all the constitutional
objections to the new law were present
ed 10 the court, but ii may develop that
the railroad attorneys have retained a
few cards up their sleeves for use fur
ther on i'm the game.

The Board of Assessors.

II does not look much as if the board
which is to make the assessments under
the Atkinson law will get to work be-
fore the legislature finally adjourns,
and if this proves to be the case there
will be q chance for the opponents of
the law to fight the legality Of the
board. Governor Pingree failed to sat
isfy the senate when he nominated
Robert Oakman Of Detroit and Colonel
T.. NJ. Irish of Kalamazoo for places on
this board. The nominees succeeded in
capturing only five votes between them,
thus making their rejection by the sem
ate almost unanimous. Pingreeites, an
ti-Pingreeites and Democrats appeared
to have objections to them There was
some doubt as to their confirmation, but
the unanimity Of the vote was a great
surprise to everybody. Equally as sur
prising was the fact that George B.
Horton Of Fruit Ridge, master Of the
state grange, was confirmed without a
dissenting vote, although two sena-
tors refrained from voting. The fact
that Mr. Horton strayed away for
time during the last campaign OF 1896
led to the belief that he would encounter
some opposition in the senate Just
what will happen next i'm this connec-
tion is probematical. Governor Pin
gree has said that he will keep on send
Ing in the names of Irish and Oakman
until the senate gives some reason for
rejecting them. 1nasmuch as the SEN
ate does not give any reason. and is
well aware OF this fact. II is quite i'm
probable that the governor will be able
to ever gain anything by this pro-
gramme. Another proposition is that
4

what Mr.. Oakman Says.


Mr.. Oakman declares that he has COM
petent legal advice to the effect that the
provision Of the law relative TO these
appointments is so worded that ii is
not necessary for the governor TO send
the names 20 the senate at all unless he
wants to- and that he (Oalman) is just
as much an assessor now as II the sem
ate had confirmed him. In fact, he de-
clares that he is already working at the
job. and will proceed to draw his salary
at the proper time. 1t will be seen from
all this that there are interesting de-
velopments ahead In this connection.
IL is probable that the nominations
of Milo ID. Campbell for Insurance COM
missioner. Mrs. Mary c. Spencer for
state librarian. and Joseph l.. Cox for
labor commissioners will be confirmed
without opposition. except possibly that

road commissioner and Elliott o. Gros-

have some enemies in the senate who
may make trouble for them.
The first round of the fight over the
bill to repeal the law of 1897 establishing
closed season for whitefish and trout
in the great lakes has been fought, the
result being victory for the CONNER

tatives OF the so-called fish trust made
a two-months' fight against the bill,
but succeeded in rounding up only
eighteen votes against 1t in the house.

THE MISSING STEAMERS.
Passenger Thinks the Bulgaria
FOundered-The PavOnia.

LONDON, Feb 1.-THE Daily Mail pub
fishes the following dispatch from Ponta
del Gada John HILL one of the rescued
passengers of the Hamburg-American linsr
Bulgaria, in an interview describing the
dangers attending the rescue by the Wee
hawken, says: The stewardess refused to
leave so long as any of the women re-
manned. Two other steamers were standing
by, but offered no assistance. The chief en-
gineer was heard to say that the Bulgaria
could last only another four hours. There
was no confusion and excellent discipline
prevailed. 1 saved myself by jumping into
the Weehaken boat, the chief officer having
announced that any man who wished to
save his life might jump. In my opinion the
Bulgaria foundered on the night of Feb s. 3"

CAUTIONED BY BRITAIN
SULTAN OF OMAN WARNED NOT To
FAVOR OTHER NATIONS.
III He Codes COalinE station to
OH-ResignatiOn of Senior Rios.

BOMBAY, Feb 16.-The Persian gulf mail
steamer, which has just arrived here,
brings news that a British ultimatum was
presented to the Sultan of Oman on Satur-
day. owing to his having leased to France
a coaling station on the coast of OMAN
which is a semi-independent state in south
east Of Arabia Oman is considered to be
under British protection, as the Sultan has
been receiving a subsidy from Great Brit
ain.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, replying to a question on the
subject, the Right Hon. William St. John
Brodrick, under secretary of state for for
eign affairs, said that, so far as her Ma jes-
tvs government knew, the Sultan of Oman
had not ceded nor was he about to cede, to
France d coalng station or harbor on the
coast of Oman.
Inquiry made in official circles shows that
the under secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs appears to have been juggling with
words in the House of Commons yesterday.
AS matter of fact, the Sultan of Oman al
lowed France to establish a coaling station
hapS, there has been no lease and no cession
of territory. The officials here also say the
word "ultimatum" in the dispatch from
Bombay to-day. referring to Oman, is too
strong" 1t is understood that the British
mote" informed the Sultan that IF he ia
Vored other nations the British subsidy OF
$4,000 $4,000 would be stopped"

lions, which relate to the method of ac-
quirement of the right of way. The provi-
sion. in the Hepburn bill recurring purchase
of the right of way from Costa RIGA and
Nicaragua is stricken out and the first sec
ton is changed to read as follows:
THAT the President of the United States
be and is hereby authorized to acquire for
and in behalf of the United States such por-
ton OF territory now belonging to Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua, or such rights, ease
ments or privileges therein or connected
Herewith as may be desirable and necessary
to eXcavate, construct, control and defend a
canal of such depth and capacity as will be
sufficient for the movements of ships, ETC."
The remaining language Of the amend
ment is substantially that of the Hepburn
bill 1t was hurried to the public printer,
and when printed copies were received they
were taken to the room of the committee
on commerce. The committee promptly took
up the subject for discussion and various
members expressed themselves as favorable
to the amendment as such. Senator Caffery
was the one notable exception. He indicated
such determined opposition as to create the
impression that if the amendment should be
added he would defeat the entire river and
harbor bill. In view of this attitude on the
part of the Louisiana senator the committee
deferred final action on the amendment, but
the indications now are that it will not be
added TO the bill.

BRITAIN's FOOD SUPPLY
In Little Danger of Being Cut on In
Event of War.


LONDON, Feb. 16.-The president of the
Board of Trade, Right Hon. c. T. Richie,
speaking in the House Of Commons to-day
on the amendment proposed by Henry Seton
Kari, Conservative member for st. Hclens,
to the address to the Queen in reply to the
speech from the throne at the opening of
Parliament relative to the dependence of
Great Britain on foreign imports for food
supply and the danger therefrom in the
event of war. said her Majesty's govern
ment had fully inquired into the existing
conditions and did not believe that the fears
expressed in some quarters were justified.
The government, however would be glad
if some arrangement could be made by
which a larger supply of food from the colo
MES might be received. If, however, any
thing in the nature of protection was neceS-
sary in order to obtain this desired end, he
feared that it was not likely to be fulfilled.
Mr. Richie added that If foreign power
attempted to prevent the transshipment of
grain in time of war, or declared it contra
band of war, it would arouse the hostility
of the United States and possibly Of others.
AS 80 to 60 per cent. of the grain exports
Of the United States entered Great Britain,
1t was not to be supposed for a moment
that the United States would remain
be contraband of war; Therefore, accord
ing to Mr.. Ritchie, there was no chance
of starvation. as long as grain can be intro
duced as freely in war time as in peace.
The system of bountieS upon home grain,
he added was not within the range of prac-
teal politics. Mr.. Richie then dwelt upon
the practical difficulties in the way of the
establishment of a system of marine insur-
ance or national granaries, saying If the
navy were kept sufficiently strong to pro-
tect the trade routes and prevent block
ade Of the British coast, there was not the
remotest danger of starvation, though, pos
sibly, there might be temporary high prices.
Mr.. Seton Kar's amendment was mega
tlVeO without division.
