 m. Numerous minor amendments were of- | fered and passed.
 l The first amendment to cause debate
 was by Senator Screws of Montgomery.
 In the bill, a $4oO license Is charged cleo | tric light companies, another section Of
 the bill provides for a $4Oo license for the | transaction of an electric power business. Senator Screws thought that this work ed an injustice on the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company. and moved
 to amend by putting $4Oo license on both | businesses.
 Senators Craig and Castleberry objected on the ground that they were separate | avocations.
 l The Screws amendment was adopted. l Senator Norman of Chambers, intro-
 duced an amendment providing that the | section, which provides that retail liquor
 dealers be charged q. 900 license be strick- en out. in order that the municipalities
 might fix their own licenses on these bus inesses. He held that 1t worked hard

 charged by towns of the first class. l Senator Craig moved to table. His mo- 1 ton prevailed.

 tabled without debate.

Many Amendments Offered
 and Rejected.
Upper House Stands by It's origi- nal Action as to Statue cf Dr J. .4. N. Curry-Montg .mery
 Circuit Bill Passsd.

From 3:3o o'clock yesterday afternoon until o'clock last night the Senate dis cussed and amended the Recess Commit tee bill. fixing the license or privilege tax upon avocations, occupations and business in municipalities.
 Every Senator in the chamber had ideas as to how much each business should be charged by municipalities and as result no action was taken on the bill.
 Amendments came in floods. Most of them were tabled. Some few passed. About o'clock the Senators became res- tive. Motions to adjourn until various times were proposed but a majority of the Senators were anxious to stick 1t out and get the bill off the calendar. By 6 o'clock. however. even these gave up and the Senate adjourned until 10 o'colck this morning.

 was no debate on the question and the Blackmon motion was adopted, 20 ayes. nays.
 An additional report from the Rules Committee was read, adversing the House resolution, recalling from the Senate the i concurrence of the House in the Curry resolution.
 Senator Blackmvn again moved concur renee.
 Senator Rogers of Sumter said he did | not wish to debate the matter. No words could change the minds of the Senators on the proposition but he said that in fail | ing to allow a coordinate branch of the Legislature to rescind its action on any proposition was laying dangerous predi' cate.
 Senator Smith agreed with the Senator

TARGETS FIRE BACK.
Uniqua Invention of Getman Army
 Officer.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-An extensive system of targets that fire with blank cartridges on a firing line using real cartridges was tested today on the drill grounds of the Queen Elizabeth regiment, Grenadier Guards.
 The targets. which are shaped like the hodies and heads of men armed with rifles, machine guns and artillery, appear and dIsappear at the will of the commanding officer on touching a button in electrical connection with the targets. The prob- lem of the firing line is to make as many hits as possible on these targets, which are irreguIarly visible and which at the same time simulate the conditions of &C., tual war by keeping ur hot blank cart ridge fire on the practicers.
 The apparatus. which was invented by First Lieutenant Tschirschky, is expen- sive, as it uses up much ammunition, but sr the opinion of the numerous high off, cers the trials are admirably adapted to SnstilI composure on the firing line.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-10

The republican program for the in- coming congress is to avoid any politi- cal legislation and adjourn in May. There is to be no tariff or trust legisla- ton, but a financial bill is to be passed. This certainly is not a strenuous pro- gram. Perhaps this do-nothing policy will prevail and then again perhaps it won't. So long as trust prices and starvation wages are the order of the day the democrats are not going to let up in their endeavors to get at the trust-controlled schedules in the Ding ley bill. The republican majority in the next congress will be about thirty, and if sixteen recalcitrant republicans join the democrats some of the trust sheltering schedules will go glimmer- ing so far as the house is concerned, and when the bill strikes the senate there will be tariff music in the air to which the republicans will be com pelled to dance far into the summer. The democrats will have some leader ship in the next congress, and there will be something doing from the very minute the extra session meets in No- yember. Mark the prediction.

A Biological Farm.

An effort is being made to establish a new kind of scientific farm at Woods Hole. It is to be known as ''bioloq- teal farm,' and the purpose is for ex- perimental investigation of heredity. variation and evolution among living organisms, as we'll as for study of the life histories, habits, instincts and in- telligenee of animals. The advocates of the scheme point to the fact that many of the problems involved in such studies and Investigations cannot be settled in a laboratory. It is necessary that the living forms be observed amid natural conditions, and without inter- ruption from year to year. The pro- posed farm" would consist not only of fields and woods, but also of ponds, of g. reach of the sea, and of islands. Many leading evolutionists have long urged the foundation of such an estab- hshment, but hitherto nothing of the kind has been done except by individ- ual effort on a small scale.-Youth's Companion.

AMUSEMENT INSTITUTION.


 All the papers of Europe, without an exception, have praised the won derful character of the Barnun & Bai- ley Greatest Show on Earth. What they have all remarked in praise would fill 8 book of 10000 pages of small print. To transport the vast material, animals and property of the big concern requires S6 railway cars, each nearly 60 feet long. These are made up into five trains of about IS cars, each train nearly 2,000 feet long, so that all the trains if made into one would be over three-quarters of mile in length. All the cars will be seen here when the show arrives on Tues day, June 30. Another novel feature is the tents. Very few persons can form an idea of their magnitude and capacity. When it is stated that the largest building in New York does not seat one-half as many people as the tent where the performances are giy- en- one begins to realize it's enormous size. Nearly fifteen thousand persons can be comfortably seated in the main canvas, which is electrically lighted and has a foot-rest for every seat, while the menagerfe tent is $50 feet long.
 Arranged in the main tent are three equestrian rings, three stages, a race track, and an aerial enclave, and it Is in and upon these the wonderful per formances take place, In the me- nagerie pavilion are other stages, where the huge collection of freaks are exhibited without extra charge, and where also are the handsome cages of wild beasts, the elephants, baby ele- phant two giraffes and other objects of interest. Then there are other tents, with canvas stalls, canvas man. gers, etc, for the 500 horses, and still more tents for dressing-rooms, dining rooms, barbers, blacksmiths and oth- CTS, the whole covering an area of F acres To see all these tents erected in the short space of two hours is in, deed wonderful sight, and but an other instance of the remarkable meth ods and stupendoIls resources of this truly magnificent show. The vast amount of material carried, the great number of employees of all kinds, the army of performers, the commissary department-in fact. all the various parts of the big affair when combined make such colossal, gigantic show that few can possibly comprehend it And it is never divided.

The scandal in the postofice depart ment is still holding the boards as the chief attraction in the nations capital. It has grown to such proportions that some of the republican politicians are beginning to gasp and to ask where it will end and who will be the next vic- tim to land in the tolls. The outcome of this thing has verified all democratic predictions anent the rottenness that would come to the surface, if it were pursued to a logical conclusion. Ever since the return of the postmaster gen eral who was paralyzed by the revela- tions that confronted him, he has been doing his level best to cover up the in vestigation and to suppress it. The top has only been scratched and the people do not know one-tenth Of the corruption that lies beneath.
