tions that Virginia ought to profit by in

ONE OBJECTION.
Mr.. Baker called attention to the diill-
culties that would be encountered IN seek
ing to separate the races in waiting rooms.
At most stations there is only one repre-
sentative Of the road: he is telegraph
opera1or ticket agent, express agent ana
freight agent. He thought IT would be
better to report the Eppss bill and theh
to pass a separate act requiring the com
Danies to furnish separate waiting rooms
for the two races.
Mr.. Hume offered an amendment pro-
yiding that the act should apply also TO
roads operating cars by electricity. ether
than those doing strictly a street car
business.
Mr.. Epps urged that his bill be not
loaded down with amendments. de was
willing to vote for acts to provide sepa-
rate waiting rooms, and TO require elec-
,ric roads to furnish separate coaches,

that had stood the test of the Supreme
Court of the United States. and he was
unwilling to change its provisions.

work a great hardship upon local rail-
roads on the Virginia side of the Poto-

that nothing in this ac, should apply

other section In the Union--there exists
a compulsory boiler inspection law. but
there is provision In this law that all
boilers under the care OF companies that
have been chartered or organized for
the purpose OF making steam boiler in
spectlons, shall be exempt from the opera
tion OF the State law. There Is a similar
law in the State OF Connecticut. The city
of Philadelphia. with Its large number OF
steam plants, has a city ordinance pro-
viding for compulsory boiler inspections.

the inspection of corporations that have

State The law in effect in the city OF
ST. Louis is substantially the same. An
effort WIS made recently during the con-

Louisiana To pass law requiring all
boilers to be Inspected by officials of
the State, but the steam users heard OF

that they were paying out their money

THE NEW NAVY.
Naval Bill Provides for More New
MnrshipS.

New York, March 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Provision
will be made in this years naval appro-
priation bill for construction pro-
gramme fully equal TO the expectation
OF the friends of the service. The bill
will probably be reported by the house
committee on naval affairs before the end
of the present week. 1t is still subject
to change, but as it stands tonight it pro-
vides for two large battleships, three
armored cruisers of 1850 tons dlsplacs-
ment, three protected cruisers of 5000 tons
displacement, and four gunboats of 800
tons displacement
The committee has not vet fixed The
size of the battlSsnips, but they will prob
ably be 1850 or $4,000 tons. The ar
mored cruisers are to have high speed
and large. GOAL capacities, with the heav-
lest armor and armament possible to be
carried on vessels of Their type. The
three projected cruisers are to be i'm
proved types. The committee was largely
influenced by the suggestions of Admiral
Dewey, who declares that armored cruis-
ers are superior to battleshiys in many
respects, their inferiority in armor and
armament being more than compensated
for, IN his opinion, by their greater radius
of action and their speed aud maneuver-
ing qualities. He said he would be will
ing to fight such an armored cruiser a;
he recommended against any battleship.
Admiral Dewey's experience with thu
Olympia and the other protected cru scr'
in his squadron at the battle OF Manila
led him to recommend the construction OIL
similar vessels TO the Olympia, but with
larger displacement, so as to admit Of
their carrying heavier batteries and more
protection for their guns.
No final decision has yet been reach &c
as to the armor for the new vessels ant
for those authorized in former bills.
