In connection with its report of n
late council meeting last week the
News stated that the council stood
ready to offer the water company
5000 II year for its service to the CITY.
The amount should have read $500.
Mr.. Norton of the council says that
he offered n resolution to that effect
merely as q starter and to get the
sentiment of the people, but the
agent of the company said he would
not consider such an amount, and
left the room. The resolutions off
cred by Mr.. Norton looking to the
town ownership of water plant is
meeting with favor.

Seminole War Pensions.

The bill granting pensions of IS per
month each to the surviving soldiers
OF the Seminole Indian War of 1867,
and to the widows of deceased soldiers
thereof, enacted in 1902. was the sub.
feet of Senator Taliaferro's constant
care. The result of the passage o.
the bill will be to distribute in Flor
ida annually for some years the sum
of about 100000 to these deserving
and long-neglected patriots and their
surviving representatives The origi-
nal bill for this purpose was introduced
by Mr.. Taliaferro in the seth Con.
gress, and passed the Senate, but was
defeated in the House. At the next
session he incorporated its provisions
in another or general pension bill then
pending, and 1t went through both
Houses in that shape, becoming law.

Cotton Crop Statistics.

When the Senate Census COMMITTEES
Of the 57th Congress was considering
the bill for the establishment of a
permanent Census Bureau, the aggre
gate of the appropriations required
therefor looked so large that Repub-
lican members of the Committee pro-
posed to reduce it by cutting out The
amount provided for the collection
and printing of crop statistics. Sen
ator Talaferro vigorously protested
against this, declaring that 1t was the
one feature of the bill calculated to
benefit the Southern farmers, and gave
notice that if 1t was eliminated he
would oppose the passage of the bill
His protest was effective, the Commit
tee retaining the disputed item, and
the bill containing it becoming law

rotary of War make and state an ac-
count showing the respective amounts
mutually due from the state and from
the United States. With view to
the successful advocacy of the claim,
he planned for a place on the Com
mittee on Claims, which he secured.
After many months of careful study
of the details of the claim and the eX-
listing situation-in which he had the
invaluable assistance of Hon. VIM. ID.
BloXham, who furnished much of the
data and probably knew as much
about the matter as any other person
iving-Senator Taliaforro decided
that the best way to secure favorable
action upon it was to present 1t as an
amendment to the Omnibus Claims
bill. then pending In the House, and
which embraced a large number Of
claims involving the iterests of nearly
every State in the Union. He ac-
cordingly offered an amendment to
that bill, making provision for the
payment of the claim. In this policy,
and throughout the entire course OF
legislation in the matter, he had the
united and enthusiastic cooperation
of the other representatives Of Flori-
da in the Congress.
From the beginning the delegation
encountered active and determined OPP
position from other members who rep
resented claims embraced in the bill.
Du oh hnl
his rights as Senator and upon the
rights of the State Mr.. Taliaferro sue
ceeded in neutralizing such opposition
In the Committee and the Senate, no
tably In the case of prominent Sen
ator OF another State, who feared that
the allowance of Florida's large claim
might endanger the chances of his
own. By carefully studying the mer'
its of this opposing claim he was pre-.
pared to disclose its weaknesses, had
this been necessary; but this claim
was defeated, and the opposition to the
Florida claim did not materialize.
Nevertheless, other obstacles inter
posed. The BILL which originated in
the House, was amended in the Sen
ate W IOuIdlH d pIONlSlOu lot the pay
ment of the "Selfridge claim" fol
moneys lost in building ships for the
| Government during the Civil War
The House refused to concur in the
amendment, and asked for confer
ence. The other Senate amendments
being involved In the conference, Sen
ator Taliaferro and his colleagues la
bored with the conferees for the sal
walton of the bill, the advocates O.
the Selfridge claim having threatened
its defeat If that claim was not in
cluded, Finally, Mr.. Taliaferro sug
gested that the Selfridge Claim be re
ferred for settlement to the Court O.
Claims in separate measure, and this
solution of the controversy being &C
cepted, opposition was withdrawn, thu
Conference Committee reported thu
bill favOrably with the Florida CLAIM
intact, and the bill became a law
Shortly afterwards the Governor O
Florida was enabled to go to Wash
ington and receive the warrant.

Cuban Cattle Duty Reduced.

forget The Committee was consid

offered and ably advocated, the worn

Cuban Cypress Tariff.

When the War Department had mil
itary control of Cuba the provisional
tariff then existing for the Island
classed cypress lumber as cabinet
wood, whereupon the duty was abso
lutely prohibitive Senator Taliafer
70 appeared before the Department
and successfully argued for a change
in the tariff, by means of a ruling
of the Department, whereby cypress
lumber was rated the same as pine
lumber, greatly to the advantage Of
Florida manufacturers and exporters
thereof. and of all persons connected
with the cypress lumber industry in
the State.

So much has been published con-
corning Florida's ancient claim, first
presented in the Senate by Senator
Yulee, in 1859, for moneys expended
in the payment of troops and other
wise in suppressing the Seminoles in
the years Of 1856 and 1857, that little
need be said of its earlier history,
with which all Florldians are familiar.
When Mr.. Taliaferro entered the
Senate the previous efforts OF the
States representatives In the Con-
gress had resulted in having the Sec
