MAY NOT GET INCREASE
INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC BUILDING AP-
PRECIPITATION In PERIL.
Speaker Henderson and His Lfeuten-
ants Are Against It-Mr. Over
street Hard mt Work.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-It is extremely
doubtful that the proposed increases of
limit of cost of certain public buildings,
among them the indianapolis building, from
s1.5OoOo0 to s2.25OOO0. will become law at
this session. Senator Fairbanks will, no
doubt, succeed in having these increases
attached to the civil sundry bill as an
amendment. but. inasmuch as Speaker Hen
derson has declared against any public
building legislation at this session. the
chances are the amendment will be stricken
out in conference. Representative Over
street has worked hard TO secure an in
crease at the hands of the house committee
on public buildings and grounds and. so far
as the committee is concerned successfully,
but the speaker refuses TO let the commit
tee call up it's bill for for consideration. Mr..
Overstreet will do all ne can to save the
increase when 1t comes over to the House,
provided the Senate puts 1t on the sundry
civil bill, and may succeed. There will be
number of representatives from different
States interested in the amendment be-
cause of increases for buildings in their
States. Mr.. Overstreet will endeavor to
bring about concert OF action among them
when the time comes, and may i'm this way
manage TO secure the increase in spite of
the hostile attitude of the speaker and
some OF his lieutenants.
The contest over the postoffice at VIM
cennes wakes warm. Editor Adams. who
is also postmaster, is still here and so are
his lieutenants-Nat u. Hill. of Blooming
ton chairman of the Republican committee
of the Second congressional district, and
James w Ellison. of vincennes. Adams
has the support also, he says, Of the chair
man and secretary OF the Republican coun-
ty committee. They have not the field 10
themselves, for Editor George Cook is still
here looking after his own interests. for
he thinks one term Is enough for Adams
He claims the support OF a majority OF
the members OF the Republican committee
men of Knox county. Meantime Benjamin
willoughby, OF Vincennes. former menu
ber OF the State Legislature, is waiting
around In the hope that Adams and Cook
will kill each other of and the prize fall
TO him. AS Adamss term does not expire
until uext January they are all wasting
time and money by staying in Washington
now.

son, in the joint raid at Wildwood. last

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The House to-
day jettisoned the authorizations for two
battleships and two cruisers which were in
the naval appropriation bill as it passed
that body. The Senate had rejected the
proposition, and against the appeals Of the
House conferees the House to-day voted
by a big majority to agree to the Senate
amendment striking out the authorizations.
Chairman Cannon, of the appropriations
committee, contributed largely to this re-
suit by vigorous speech in favor Of the
Senate amendment. He said the real ques-

TIE STATE SEMINARY

On the first page of this issue of
The TAILAHAssEEAN is enumerated
some OF the results accomplished by,
and the present needs of the Sem
lnary West of the Suwannee River
better known as the West Florida
seminary. As will be seen by ref
eFence to the article mentioned, this
institution is doing great work, ac-
comPlishing much good in the edu-
cationai field, and is capable of more
than doubling its usefulness, if the
State will only supply the funds nee
essary.
Only few days ago the Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 for gym
nasum at the Florida Agricultural
college that being to supplement
the donation of the public spirited
Flagler, of the East Coast, for the
same purpose -and the act was
applsuded by many as the proper
dhingto do.
The late Judge Westcott be-
queathed quite a handsome sum to
the West Florida Seminary, but be
failed to make it a condition that the
State should appropriate an equal
sumin order to get this endowment.
As a consequence Legislatures pre-
ceding this have been stingy with
their appropriations and the institu.
don has all along been cramped for
funds.
This is condition that should not
exist. The West Florida Seminary
is one of the really meritorious
educational institutions in the
State, and the benevolence
of the late lamented Wescott should
be supplemented by State appro-
Pnation large enough to secure dorm
itories for the school and provide all
the other things necessary for carry
ing on the great work the institution
has undertaken. It is confidently
hoped that the members of the pres
ent Legislature will recognize the
wisdom of supplying these necessi-
ties, and govern themselves accord
ingly.

EAcETloUs LEGISLATION.

Representative Jacoby, of Jackson
county, created a ripple of merri-
ment in the House of Representatives
yesterday by introducing a measure
providing for the annexation of the
State of Alabama to West Florida
"with the consent of the Legislature
of Alabama and the Congress of the
United States" Of course the meas
ure was tabled at once, but it has
served to renew the talk about the
Alabama scheme to annex West
Florida, and the fact is developed
that West Floridians regard that
proposition as a collosal joke. They
are perfectly satisfied where they
are, they declare, and do not want to
be annexed to Alabama or any other
State in the Union.
Commenting on the subject last
night to the editor of the ITALIA
HAssEEAN, prominent resident of
Pensacola who enjoys also a more
than local reputation as a political
prognosticator, said: eff it should
ever come to vote of the people, l
venture the assertion there would
not be two hundred votes cast for
annexation in EScambia county"
Verify, the whole matter seems to
have been either a huge joke or a
piece of political buncombe on the
part of certain West Florida persons
in need of an "issue." The most
surprising part of it all is that Ala
bama should have played her part in
it with such earnestness.

men OF the State of Florida, responding

memorabilia and petition that the age

Mr.. MacWilIiams introduced the fol-
lowing: 1--WE, the undersigned, believ-
ing that the foundation of education

that school wherein children at an
early age have their plays syste natized
and their activities directed, where or
der is given to their ideas, where their
faculties are harmOniously developed,
and where they are prepared for the
work of the ordinary schOUl, is neces-
sity in this State, would, therefore,
respectfully petition that the school
laws of the State of Florida be 50 amend
ed that kindergarten schools can and
shall be instituted in the cities of the
State of Florida having a population OF
more than one thousand people,. and
that said schools shall be maintained at
the public expense; and that ali child
ren of not less then four years of age
and not exceeding seven years of age,

There had been taken from the men a

The trial was held the next day, and
the future senator made a brilliant
speech to the jqry. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
jury returned verdict of ''Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
Boys" said :AIr. Spooner as they
were about to separate, Il am curious
to know why you carry that Bible and

listened with astOnishment to the his

Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr.

manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at a late hour. they found thar
the house had been entered By bur
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought a letter which read:

THE CONVICT MuDnIE

For several weeks preceding the
assembling of the Legislature there
were rnmOrs and counter rumorS
concerning the leasing of the con-
victs held in the custody of the State
:agthorities. 1t was but natural,
therefore, that the Legislature should
take the matter up and insist upon
AN investigation. Had it failed to
do so the consequence would
have been an almost universal con-
.demnation of the members thereof
for direliction of a duty which
seemed imperative to those into
whose ears these various rumOrs
had been poured.
That mistakes have been made in
the management Of the matter there
Is no room to doubt. But that ad-
vantages will accrue from the muddle
into which it has fallen if the con-
victs are leased, is equally as evident.
For instance, the Board of State In
stitutions, in submitting to the Legis-
1ature record of their doings rela-
tive to the leasing of the State con-
victs, for the nextfour years, says:
"In 1893, all the State prisoners
were leased for s21, 900 per annum
1n 1897, all the State prisoners; were
LEASED for $4,000 per annum."

notice that Commissioner of Agri-
culture reports the he has received

"It is the opinion Of the Board thai
