The largest stationary engine ever
built in the United States has just
been turned out at East Pittsburg,
Penn. Though nominally of 5000
horsepower, when occasion demands,
II can deliver 10000 horsepower. The
whole engine weighs more than 1,500.-
600 pounds and stands twenty-seven
feet high. The fly-wheel is twenty
three feet In diameter, and the main
shaft, measuring from twentyslx to
twenty-nine and n half inches In d.

LOTTERY AMENDMENT DE-
FEATED.

The Lottery Amendment came up In
the State Senate last Thursday, and
was defeated by the following vote:
For the amendment Kelly OF Lam
der and Martin OF Douglas.
Against the Amendment-Bell,
Flanagan, Prudential, Gallagher,
Green, HUI, Jackson, Livingston, Nc
Cullough, Pitt and Williams.
Absent-Hardesty of Elko, and Was
son OF Esmeralda.
Many people considered that this
matter had been disposed of early in
the session. After such an expression
by the Assembly as was produced by
the Wilson resolution, we naturally
thought the Senate would be found OF
the same mind. 1t is not safe as a rule
to predict what body OF men will do.
There are all sorts OF unseen currents
at work, and the only time to speak
certainly is after vote has been
taken. We know now what the Senate
thinks, and can almost confidently say
that there will be no lottery in Nevada.
1t Is well enough to re-state here,
what may possibly have been forgotten
by some that the Lottery Amendment
was passed at the last session OF the
Legislature, and under the provisions
OF the State Constitution, it is neces-
sary that all amendments shall be rati-
fed by two succeeding legislative ses-
sions before being submitted to the
people. Therefore, the Lottery
Amendment had, of necessity, to come
before both Houses of the present Leg
islature as unfinished business, the
vote on the resolution not affecting the
bill in any way except as to showing
the sentiment of the members with re-
lation to the measure.

working on the subject; the Board OF
Taxation has had its say; the different
papers have different theories; and
now Mr.. Wells Drury has consented to
write number of articles on the sub
ject for the Carson Appeal. All these
gentlemen are more or less capable OF
discussing the subject. The question
is, how the ordinary Senator or As
semblyman is going to make up his
mind how TO vote, after hearing so
many opinions. Mr.. Drury says II our
laws are not inviting, people will keep
out of the State. He refers to the ten
dency of human beings to conceal or
hurry out OF the State all sorts of
personal property, VIXEN the personal
property tax is burdensome, and adds;
''That is what has depopulated Ne
vada. Your laws have made it impos-
sible for any man to profitably keep
personal property in the State. Your
laws tax money and machinery and
houses so that it is Improbable to
maintain them in Nevada. That is
why there is lack of money, machinery
and houses in Nevada. Whenever
there is scarcity of these things, there
will be scarcity of men, women and
children.
Take the tax off personal property
and put it on land, and you will change
the current OF population forwards Ne
vada. People will begin to flock into
the State instead of getting out Of it as
fast as their legs and the cars can carry

INSPECTOR OF MINES.

Senator Jackson of Washoe, who
seems to have the good of all miners
at heart, has introduced bill provid
ing for an Inspector and sub-Inspector
of mines. Except that it provides for
one or more State officers, when there
are already too many, the NEWS rath-
err approves OF the bill.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment, by the Governor, Of State
Inspector of Mines who shall hold
office for two years. Under him
shall be Deputy Inspector of Mines
for each and every mining dis
trict in the State, who shall be elected
each, severally, by the miners of the
district each deputy is chosen to rep
resent. These deputies shall be elect
ed on the first Monday in January and
hold office for one year, unless removed
in the meantime by two-thirds vote
OF the miners of his district.
The State Inspector of Mines must
be citizen of the United States and OF
the State OF Nevada, and must have
five years experience in mining. He
must also have a practical and thor
ough knowledge of the best methods
of working, ventilating and timbering
mines, and OF the general and modern
systems of reduction of ores.
No man connected with any corpora
ton can hold the Office of Iespector or
Deputy Inspector. The Inspector shall
give bond of $4,000 for the faithful
performance Of his duty.
Upon complaint Of any three miners
in district, the deputy shall examine
any mine, or any establishment for the
metallurgic treatment of ores, and il
he deems that such establishment il
conducted to the danger OF the health
or lives OF the men employed, he shall
notify the Inspector, who shall make
further examination, and If he finds
the charges of the deputy verified by
the facts, he shall then demand an
immediate correction OF the evil, and
even in his judgment, may order work
suspended in the place complained Of
until such evil or danger be removed
II the danger cannot be avoided, the
Inspector shall prescribe or limit the
number OF hours of daily work, in such
special cases as may be necessary fol
the proper protection OF the health and
lives OF the workmen.
A good sized fine is imposed upor
any superintendent who refuses to ad
NIT an Inspector or his deputy to a
mine whenever they see fit to make al
inspection.

BUFFALO EXPOSITION BILL.

The bill appropriating $1,000 for
Nevada's exhibition at Buffalo passed
the Senate with only one protesting
vote. This is what the report says,
and the NEWS supposes the dissenting
vote came from our Senator Green.
Others, however, did not like the
bill.
When the bill was placed on its third
reading Senator Kelly remarked that
he thought that the appropriation of
this big sum of money was too much,
and suggested that it be cut to SO, 900,
but on being informed that the bill had
been engrossed, the amendment was
passed.
Senator Green, OF White Pine, who
seems to be the wit of the Senate, as
well as the economist, stated point
blank that he was opposed to the meas
ure as he thought that the duty oil
legislation was to expend money for
practical purposes. In his argument
he said:
Nevada has expended money for
exhibition purposes at the Centennial,
Chicago, San Francisco and Paris, and
II any Senator in the chamber car
show me where it ever realized one
dollar for the State of Nevada | viii
vote for the bill. " .
Not Senator could tell him where II
resulted in benefit.
Some one reminded the Senator from
White Pine that Nevada contributed
to the show at New Orleans, but W.
received so much benefit from it thai
we had all forgotten the show.
The exhibit that was used in Pars i
now in New York City and it certainly
should not take s., 900 to move it to tn,
city OF Buffalo. Mr.. Green is right.

NEVADA LEGISLATURE.

The bill introduced by Kelly regard
ing the killing of wild horses was pass
ed by the Assembly unanimously. The
recent rise in the price OF horses has
made them too valuable to kill for their
hides and names.
S. b., 4, by Bell, providing that IL
censed minister may marry people, was
taken up and passed.
S. b., 3, by Bell, providing for a
penalty for violation of the law regard
ing the altering of brands, was taken
up and passed.
Platt's bill to appropriate $500 to ir-
rigate the G. A. II. cemetery and for
other necessary repairs, was passed.
Mcdonald introduced bill provi
ding that the County Commissioners
should not throw out any ballots on ac-
count of defects, but should count
them in line with intention of voter.
Assembly Bill, "a, by Plat, authori-
zing a convention of county assessors.
Graham, who introduced bill pro-
yiding grazing OF sheep near the towns
of within a three mile limit, made an
effective speech in its behalf, and it was
unanimously passed.
The Senate is working on its own
wise and independent lines, and passes
bills with great alacrity, and they are
sent to the House where they as quick
ly passed. Then when the House sends
a bill over, the Senate ponders, looks
wise and the Assembly is left in wonder
at what becomes OF its bills.
Mccullough Of Storey, introduced
number of bills relating to elections.
Senate Bill, ., by Flanagan, came up
and was beaten. The prize-fght law
was allowed to stand as it is.
Pitt introduced in the Senate bill
relating to the revenue acts in force,
and adds some to them. 1t is a very
long bill and was carefully drawn.
Senate Bill, 3, by Mr.. Bell, making
it unlawful to mark cattle by cutting
off more than half an ear, violation of
which is misdemeanor. Changes the
existing law by demanding IA penalty.
Carried by unanimous vote.
Senator Hardesty of Elko was taken
seriously i'll today and returned to his
home in Wells. AS he is very old
man, it is feared that his illness may
result seriously.
The fate of the Eight Hour law con-
tinues to excite interest 1t is feared
that it will not pass the Senate 1t is
fairly certain that the Judiciary Com
mittee to which it was consigned will
not report upon it favorably, and it is
known that a majority OF the Senators
are against it as it now stands. Its
friends claim out of the 10 votes in
the Senate.
The Committee on elections have ar
rived at an agreement ON the appor-
tionment measure and reported sub
sttute that will in all probability pass
both Houses. Under the now bill the
apportionment is as follows:
