THAT TEMPORARY LOAN
MAY BE AUTHORIZED At SPECIAL
COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.
Mr.. Evans Objects to ailroadin
Ordinance ThrOugh-Favorable Re-
port from Finance Committee.

President Grail. of the City Council, an
nounced last night that he will call d spe-
oial meeting of the Council for tonight
to take action on the ordinance providing
for a temporary loan OF $4,000 to pay the
necessary expenses of the city administra-
ton. There seems TO be no doubt that the
ordinance will pass.
Messrs- Kaiser, Evans. Dickson and Nc
Grew, members of the finance committee,
met last night To discuss the ordinance.
The meeting was held in the private office
Of the city clerk and it is said there was
a misunderstanding as to the report to be
a on the ordinance. After a great deal
of discussion Kaiser, Dickson and McGrew
signed a report f~avoring the passage of
the ordinance. Mr.. Evans left the room
end said he would not sign the report last
night. He may consider it to-day before
1t goes TO the Council. Mr.. Evans was op-
posed to calling a special meeting of the
Council and "railroading" the ordinance
through this week, as he said City Control
Ter johnson had told him the money was
not needed until next week. Mr.. Evans,
therefore, refused TO consent to a special
meeting of the Council to rush the matter
through. He said he was in favor of the
lean TO pay the necessary debts of the adj
HtlnlSiTdllOH III OTQeT TO prevent the GILL
zens of Indianapolis suffering from the ex-
travagant methods employed by the Demo-
cratic administration, but he did not be-
lieve in "railroading" the ordinance
through at another special meeting. Other
Republican councilmen said last night that
they would vote for the passage of the or
oinance, as the Democratic city fathers are
IN desperate circumstances and need help.
1t is said a plan was suggested TO mem
bers OF the finance committee a few days
ago, when the ordinance asking for a loan
or $4,000 was before the committee on
which the committee made a report favor
ing a temporary loan of a little over $780,
WO. that would have made II necessary for
the controller to use the bridge funds, but
the suggestion was not Incorporated in the
report. The city charter provides that the
Council can supervise and direct the ex-
penditure of the various funds and under
this provision, it is said, the Council could
have ordered the city controller TO use the
bridge money for meeting current expenses
and then provided later for reimbursing this
fund. Had this been done the sd, 900 would
rot have to be borrowed and the city's
money would be spent as the Council or
dered.

not throw any further light on the tragedy.

the virtues of King Humbert and recapit-

Bresci was fully responsible for his acts
and that the former deliberately premedi-
tated the crime and had a~ccomplices. After
denouncing the Anarchist theories which
brought about such fearful crimes, the
public prosecutor denied that Brescj had
misery as an excuse. also asserting that he
was not a man of impulse or a fanatic. but
had a calm, cynical and obstinate mind,
and that his aim was infamous. In conclu-
sion the prosecutor asked for a verdict CT

cumstances for the accused man. Signor
MarteIn asked thai the verdict be tempered
with indulgence towards an irresponsible
man condemned of a crime committed in a
state of exaltation. He spoke of Bresci's
previous good conduct and implored pity
for the guilty man.
Bresci was given an opportunity to speak
and said: Sentence me. l am Indifferent.

The persons who were to deliberate on
the verdict then retired.
Bresci escaped with life Imprisonment,
as that penalty is the most severe which
can be imposed under the laws of Italy for
murder. on which charge the Anarchist
was tried. 1t was at first thought Bresci
would be tried on the charge of treason, in
which case the penalty would have been
death.

EXCESS FARES ARE JUST
TRUNK-LINE OFFICIALS SAY THEY
WILL O BE ABANDONED.
Over One ScaIpers Operating
This Week in Chicago-Homeseek-
ers' Rates kin Trouble.

Since the decision of the arbitrator,
the extra fares should be charged on all
trains which run the distance from Chicago
to New York or in the opposite direction
in less than twenty-eight hours, an agita-
ton has been kept up by. some of the Chi
cage newspapers against this policy, based
on the ground that Chicago suffers through
charging of excess fares by several of its
lines, while st. Louis lines IA no trains
in which excess fare is demanded. and
threats of revenge have been made against
the Chicago roads responsible for this
policy. So far, however, these threats
have not been carried out. An eastern
paper publishes a number of interviews in
relation to this matter, among them that
of d. L. Roberts, general passenger agent.
of the Erie. which line would suffer If any
did in its business, through the fast ser
vice. He said he had read the various
stories, but that he attached no Importance
to them. Chicago merchants" he said.
have more important things to think
about than the question of whether or not
they shall pay one or two dollars more
for the privilege of using faster trains than
the average express trains. There has been
positively no attempt at retaliation, and all
such talk is nonsense. Neither has there
been any falling off in passenger traffic on
Chicago-New York trains. The excess fares
are recognized as just by all who under
stand the situation. and the decision was
made by such fair-minded men as Presi-
dent Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania, and
President Galloway, of the New York Cen
trail, after due consideration Of the most
complete evidence
Commissioner L. p. Farmer. of the trunk
line passenger committee said i'm speak
ing of this matter that the excess fares
had come to stay, that the rule was not
a new one, but that the only innovation
was the ~stricter enforcement of its re-
~eme He said. that there had been
no violations of the rule reported by any of
the roads,.

The homeseekers' rate question has again
come to the front in Central Passenger
Association territory and is likely to re-
suit in the readoption by the lines in the
association of the old rates, as a protection
against the Western lines. Early in the
spring the general passenger agents of the
Central Passenger Association roads agreed
TO abolish the homeseekers' rates, and at
an association meeting final action was
taken whereby all roads in the territory
agreed to discontinue the sale of these
ickets. The same matter was referred TO
the general passenger agents of the West
ern Association of western lines, and an
agreement between the two associations
was reached, but now il appears that some
of the Western roads have not complied
with the new policy, and as a matter OF
protection the Central Passenger Associa-
ton lines has practically decided to re-
sumo the sale of homeseekers' tickets.

TO-MOrrov Morning.
The mayors abine will meet tomorrow
morning at $50 o'clock to discuss the mat
ter of appropriations for next year. which
will be asked FOR at the Council meeting
Monday night. Controller Johnson yester-
day received from City Attorney John w.
Kern a statement of the probable expense
money needed by the legal department
for 1901. He asks for S11, 140, which is Sc, 900
more than last year. The estimates from
all of the departments of city affairs are
now in the hands of the controller and the
total is 81. 604. $685. 81. The total of the ap-
preparations for 1900, under the 59-cent
levy. was $1.131, 150.03. Controller Johnson
has been figuring on a 65-cent levy for 1901,
but on the basis of property valuation of
Sl2S,oo0 600. the estimates would require a
levy much in excess of that allowed under
the city charter, which is 90 cents. The es-
Inmates are. of course. made with the idea
that reductions will be made, but If the 10
cent levy which is now being considered as
a mark is decided upon heavy reductions in
