BOARD DID NOT MEET
Yesterday as the Hallway Ordinance
Was Not Prepared.

yesterday as the halfway ordinance
Was Not Prepared.
The special meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners, called for yes
terday morning, was not held. The Dur
pose of the meeting was to consider
the report Of the Finance Committee,
including the ordinance for the sub
mission to voters of proposition to
subscribe half million dollars to the
capital stock of the proposed Union
town, Waynesburg and West Virginia
railroad. The attorneys were too bus
lily engaged to devote the time re-
quired for the preparation of the ordi-
nance. 1t is not known when the spe-
cial melting will be held, but it will be
within a few days.
There appears to be a division Of
sentiment relative to certain features
of the proposed subscription, but Mr..
Protzman assured the Board that the
promoters of the road will accept any
reasonable conditions. At the meeting
Monday night Mr.. Gutman objected TO
paying any part of Ohio County's $780,
000 until the road is completed and
proper terminals provided. He laid
particular stress upon the terminals,
and incidentally remarked that the
city and county have been treated out
rageously in this respect by other rail-
way companies. Mr.. Protzman said
such proposition could not be con-
sidered at all, adding that he did not
doubt that the county would be will
ing to have the road in operation and
paying dividends, and then pay for its
stock out of the dividends. That
would be a nice scheme, but not bus
mess method.

He was Senate Clnrk's Manager and
Spent $4,000 in the Senatorial

Contest.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-Mr.
John B. Welcome, Senator Clark's
manager in his senatorial contest, was
the only witness before the Senate
Committee in the Clark case to-day.
His testimony was at no time startling.
Mr.. Welcome placed his expenditures
for the Senatorial campaign at not
to exceed $25, 900 and at the request of
the committee produced his bank book
and old checks to substantiate this
statement.
These documents were taken in hand
by a subcommittee and were not
made public. He said he suspected Mr..
Daily of supplying the money used In
the Whiteside expose. He also said
that he had concluded that the Mon
tana Supreme Court was prejudiced
against him and that this was the rea-
son why he had not gone upon the
stand in his disarment trial. At the
conclusion of the days sitting 1t was
announced that Senator Clark's son, C.
w. Clark, would go on the stand to-
morrow.

BY A CLOSE SHAVE
Or Not mt all, Will the Porte Ricau
Tariff Bill Pass the House.


Tariff Bill Pass the House.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-For
the first time in the debate upon the
Puerto Rican tariff bill, the voice Of
a Republican was raised to-day
against the measure, Mr.. Cromwell,
(0hio) spoke against the bill. He OPP
posed it IN the ~ground'of policy and
not of constitutionality. His hostility
however, was not SO absolute but that
he announced his attention of voting
for it if the substitute failed. The
other speakers to-day were Mr.. Ray
New York; and Mr.. Long (Kansas)
for the bill and Mr.. Henry (Texas)
against it.
The Republicans have decided to
hold a caucus or conference on the
bill Saturday night. Although there
are said to be between twenty and
thirty Republicans who are hostile to
the measure, the Republican leaders
who are %canvassing the situation say
that not more than four or five will
cast their votes against 1t. They also
say several Democrats will support it.
The only Democrat who is %outspok-
en- in his advocacy of the bill is Mr..
Davey Gouisiana). He represents
one of the largest cane sugar districts
in the south. Some others including
Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Broussard CLouis-
lanai, Mr.. Devries California;, Mr..
Davis, and Mr.. Sparkman (Florida),
are said to be in the doubtful column
but the Democratic whip says that
only Mr.. Davey and Mr.. Sibley penn
s~ylvania), will vote for it. Mr.. Will
son of Idaho. a silver Republican. is
also said to be inclined to vote for the
bill. Some of the Republican oppon-
ents of the bill who dislike to go on
| record against their party believe that
the way out of the dilemma in which
they find themselves is to vote to re-
| commit the measure. On ccount OF
the pressure for time the debate here
| after will begin at II o'clock and there
| will be night sessions Thursday and
Friday.
