 MT. Boone--I ask that the same words be stricken out of the suhsti@ ute. The consent was given.
 The President-The question Is on the adoption of the substitute.
 MT. Blackwell--I hope that substitute will not be adopted, and I do hope very much that the substitute of the gentleman from Dallas will be adopted. The substitute of the gentleman from Mobile does not cure. So far as can see. the defects in the section at all. It still leaves the power with the Gov- ernor ana the Auditor to prepare this general revenue bill for the Legisla- ture, no matter for what purpose 1t is prepared. and it takes out of the hands of the Legislature the right to prepare that bill. The difference be- tween the separate departments oe government undoubtedly is that while the Legislature enacts the laws, the Executive executes and the Judiciary construes the law. The power of the Governor insofar as the Legislative Department Is concerned, Is confined almost exclusively to the approval of bills. AS the Executive. he communi- cates to the two houses information concerning the condition or tne Stdtes and he may recommend measures to their consideration. but heretofore he has never been allowed to originate or introduce bills, and the power to ap- propriate money, or to provide for the expenses of the government has been | lodged in those that directly represent the people. The power to originate all l bills for the purpose of raising reve- nue has been confined exclusively to the legislative body heretofore. In both houses. the Senate having the right to make amendments to such bills. This section proposes a radical change in this long settled policy. and it proposes that change without any satisfactory reason being offered for it. There is no showing of incompetency upon the part of the Legislature, or of the superior qualities of the Governor and the Auditor to do this. in anS' arguments that have been made upon this floor.

LOCATING IN PHILIPPINES
Many Solder Boys will Remain there
for Business.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-In con-
sequence of representations to
the war department by Gen, Mac
Arthur, who has been in COM
mand of our military forces in
the Philippines, the war depart
ment has made an arrangement
to pay discharged soldiers of the
regular and volunteer army their
travel and pay allowances at Ma
Mia, so that they may remain in
the islands.
The department reports show
that about five hundred soldiers
whose term of enlistment ex-
pires at midnight tonight choose
to remain and engage in indus
trial and agricultural pursuits.
The department officials take
this as an Indication that the SER
vice in the islands has not been
as arduous as has been repre-
sented in some quarters.

because the legality of the sys-
tenn of declaring persons insane
is being questioned.
There is much criticism here
of the mode of conducting insan-
ity hearings, and it is charged
that W. S. Lockman, justice of
the peace, has a monopoly of in
quests 1t is further alleged
that dispensary physicians and a
police surgeon are in an ''insan-
ity trust" all reaping fees.
Attorney General Taylor has
interested himself in the matter,
and yesterday Lyman Parks,
who was recently sent to the in
sane hospital, was released by
the hospital physicians without
the usual habeas corpus proceed
ings.

the telling:
Such a sight | hope never to
see again. he said. Every
one of the bodies was doubled up
and the legs and arms of the
eleven were entwined and twist
ed with each other. There was
no sign Of fire on any of them,
but some were slightly discolor-
ed about the cheeks. Nearly all
had wide-open eyes and had a
CHASTITY look of fear. The stroke
of lightning had fixed each face
in the expression it took on at
the moment the crash came with
death. We were half an hour
getting the bodies out, and all
the while we could hear a boys
voice in the heap, begging us to
help hiul. None of them exper-
fenced any pain in meeting death,

Eleven Meet Death From one Stroke OF
Lightning.

shortly afternoon yesterday by
lightning bolt that struck an old
pier near the foot of Marquette
terrace. stones throw from the
L.ake-view water-works and a
short distance north of the ma
rine hospital. The victims rang
ed IN age from IL to 40 years.
When the terrific storm broke
over Chicago the lads and men
sought refuge undera zinc rooted
shelter at the end of the pier
nearest the shore. A party of
twelve was crouching in the mar
row space when the bolt OF light
ming struck tie roof. Eleven
were instantaneously killed. The
twelfth one, Willie Anderson, had
a marvellous escape from the fate
of his companions. He was made
unconscious by the shock, but fel
underneath the others. He re-
vived in a few minutes, and call
ed for help The bodies of all
the victims had to be removed
before. Anderson was reached.
He was taken to the Alexian
Brothers hospital and will re-
cover.
In the history of lightning
strokes costing human lives there
is no record of eleven meeting
death by one bolt. -Four years
ago four persons were killed by
lightning at the Grant monument
in Lincoln park, but eleven at
one stroke is believed to be the
appalling record in such acci-
dents.
In addition to the miraculous
escape of Anderson, Charles Hey
is notable. He was sitting on
lower portion of the pier that was
struck, but escaped injury He
was stunned for a moment, but
rapidly recovered, and calling
some other boys and young men
to his aid he made an examina-
tion of the shelter hole. One
glance was enough for him. He
saw heap of bodies lying at the
bottom of the place. Blood was
oozing from cut on the forehead
of the one nearest the entrance.
In falling, the head had struck a
sharp pointed stone. Hey was
unable to realize the full catas-
trophe. While running helpless
ly about he was called by Mrs.
Charles NJ. Walworth of No. 90
Marquette Terrace, who told him
to catch horse in a nearby yard
and ride to the Marine hospital.
The young man did as directed,
and Drs. .Sawtelle and Holt of the
hospital staff went at once to the
spot.
Mrs. Charles NJ. Walworth,
wife of the assistant cashier of
the former Union National bank,
acted the part of a heroine in the
first excitement after the fatal
ity. She ran out in the storm
and crashing thunder to the pier
and chafed and rubbed the limbs
of the boys as they lay on the
beach, in the hope of bringing
back a spark of life. Before going
out she tried to ring up the
marine hospital and the ponce,
but the wires in the circ'iit of
the whole district had been burn
ed out by the same flash that had
extinguished eleven lives. and
the instrument would not work.
1t was when she learned this
fact that Mrs. Walworth direct
ed the boy Hey 10 mount the
horse and race for the marine

on the beach when the bolt
struck, was the first to reach the
