The Joint Fire Committee De-
cides to Recommend Increase.
Will Ask the Two Boards to DO
All the Underwriters Have
Suggested.
ALDERMEN TO VOTE TONIGHT

The joint fire committee Of the gen.
eral council held meeting yesterday
afternoon at the city hall, as told in
The Sun and present were a number
Of merchants, insurance men and
others. The object was to decide
what to recommend to the council
and aldermen in regard to the de-
mands made by the insurance under
writers, and the decision of the com
mittee was to recommend to the
boards that the various things asked
by the companies, be granted, which
will leave it to the boards whether
or not to comply. or to allow the 20
per cent. increase to remain in force
indefinitely.
In the discussion of the matter, it
was clearly pointed out that the I'M
derwriters only wanted to protect
their own interests and not o get
more money, and that the demands
they made were reasonable, and only
asked Paducah to provide fire facili-
ties commensurate with her size
and population.
The committee saw the wisdom
in doing what the boards asked, and
decided to recommend it. This will
mean besides the new fire station
at Tenth and Clay streets, another
near Eleventh and Tennessee streets,
and the addition Of new appliances,
etc. The city has already appropri
ated si7. 900 for the fire departments
this year, and it 10 estimated that the
additions recommended by the insur
snce men will require $4,000 more
which the city can doubtless get. In
fact, the tax rate could have beer
made large enough to provide it if th'
boards had wanted it to be raised II
that way.
The recommendation Of the join
committee to do what the insuranc,
companies ask and thus have tn
heavy rate reduced will come up il
the Board Of Aldermen for the frs
time tonight, and it is believed viii
be ooncurred in.
The merchants, especially, seen
very glad lover the turn affairs hav
taken. The increases in INSURANCE
would cost them in year about cas-,
900 more, where less than $40. 90
would make the additions demanded
and not only save them the s25. 200
but give the people spendid fire pro
lection as well.

PAY BACK THE MONEY

In passing on the habeas corpus case ofC. E. wyun-Johuson against James NJ. Shoup, as United States Marshal the supreme court ot the United States held that the occupation license tax in Alaska was levied not as a federal tax but as a local tax for the payment oi the expenses Of local government, and therefore, the terms of the constitu- tiou, which provides that taxes must be uniform throughout the United States, do not apply to the tax.
 Well. if the supreme court knows and it Is presumed that it does, the right of the people of Alaska to the re- turn of the l,OOO,O 900 or more, that have been collected from them by the federal government on account of that tax in excess of the expenditures in the dis trict, has been clearly established. The people of this district not only have the right to have territorial government established here, but they have a just demand that all the moneys collected from the district on account of the license tax, which have been converted into the federal treasury instead of be- ing paid ou, for the expenses of gov ernmeut in the district, be paid into the territorial treasury for the use of the territory, If the supreme court IS right, all that money belongs to this district and not to the federal govern ment,

BRYAN MAY BECOME SENATOR

It is feared by the republicans and some of the democrats that William Jennings Bryan will win out in his fight for the senatorship in Nebraska. Mir. Bryan is conceded to be very Popu- lar in his state and the republicans are handicapped because Of interuecene strife in which Senator Dietrich is very badly mixed.
 Senator N. B. Scott, who has been selected to manage the eastern branch of the republican national campaign, is very doubtful about the ability of the republicans to prevent NIr. Bryan from going to the upper branch of the na- tional legislature. He recently re- turned to the east from a western tour. In speaking of the political outlook in Nebraska he said.
 ''In Nebraska it is just possible that Bryan, riding his government-cgntro. oF-railroads hobby, will win the legis a. ture, but the state is sure for the prest- dent.
 'Pryan is preparing to make a great effort to get the senatOrship. and he has the republicans scared. There IS no doubt about that
 There are many people iu the United States who do not agree with the views for which Mr. Bryan has stood, but who are warm admirers of the mans trau- scendent abilities as an orator and his courage as a politician who would be pleased to have him serve one term at least in the United States senate It would give them an opportunity to guage him that they have never had, and it would put him in a position where he would have to keep up with the procession of political events. One of the defects in Mr. Bryau's make up as a leader has been his disposition Go hold on to old issues after they have been fought out and decided, In the senate he would have to be ready to meet the issues as they arise,

According to recent reports from Dawson a labor shortage prevails in the Klondike. A dispatch bearing date a week ago from Dawson to the Seattle Times, says:
 "A shortage of men exists in the KIondike, and since the drain made by the Panama stampede there has been a demand on all creeks for labor. Never since '97 has there been such demand for labor. As many as forty men are advertised for on single claims, and wages have advanced from Si and board to S5, 50 and board for ordinary miners.
 ''Fears are entertained that there are not enough men to carry on winter op- eratiOns."
