A BATTLE
ROYAL ON
OVER BRIDGES
Taxpayers League Putting up a
Strong Fight Against the
Republican City Ad-
miniStratiOn

on to carry the election. They will
show that the Republicans have violat-
ed the city charter by passing the limits
Of their budget appropriation. which
makes each alderman personally liable.
The Taxpayers League has also
among its members some who want
city warrants on the market. drawing
iaierest. and possibly at discount, as
that industry known as warrant-sealp-
ing has not fOurished under the Waters
simiais.rstion.
TIE desire 20 put the Republicans in
a hole and put warrants in circulation
has been a factor Of the fight against
permanelt bridges One might put the
Tarpayers League in control, Of the
city council and the other might enable
the warrant dealer to resume his per-
petual harvest.
That the 6ght will 90 on for the con
troll Of the city no one can doubt.
There is going to be an election that
will warm up in every ward to a direct
issue between the Republicans and the
Taxpayers League.
In the meantime the bridges are be
ing closed. The Republican city admin
istration viii not run the risk Of dam
age suits, and will not violate the city
charter by authorizing Illegal eonstrue-
tion, where money has not been appro-
priated for that specific purpose.

The closing Of the wooden bridges on
some Of the principal streets is the
latest step in battle royal between
the Republican city government and
the Salem Taxpayers' League.
II is really a struggle for the polite
VI control Of the city. FIRST the city
goveTnment called attention through
it's bridge committee and a special
committee to the deplorabls condition
Of those structures, and made . report
In favor Of permanent structure, IL the
shape Of steel and concrete.
The Taxpayers League apPointed a
committee that appeared before the
council and made q report, through is
secretary, c. b. Moores, alleging that
al the old wooden bridges could be put
IN safe condition FOR about $500, and
offered 70 do the repair act.
But the Republican city adminisirs-
tion was not ready 10 turn over the
bridge department 10 the Taxpayer
League. unless that organization would
put up a bond that would save the city
from liability in ease Of accidents on
the aforesaid bridges.
The Taxpayers League refused to-
pot up a bond, and the Republican city
administration then took aetion under
the charter, and submitted to a vote
Of the people a proposition to construct
seven modern. reinforced steel and con
crete bridges Tor the sum Of $4,000,
popular loan bonds to be issued 10 pay
for them At four per cent.
Tho Taxpayers League objected 70
shis, and said the bridges could not be
built for that sum, and demanded
guaranty that the bridges could be
kept within the limit Of expense. They
represented IL was impossible 20 build
the bridges ~ contemplated by the city |
FOR twice that amount.
The city government replied with a
statement of contracting firm that
they would guarantee the seven bridges
would not cost more than s35,Oo0, and
that was made public by Mayor Waters.
But that would not satisfy the Tax
payers League, aud they prepared 20
defeat the bond issue az the election,
and made a vigorous campaign, shoI
ing up the bridge proposition Is as IN
favorable a light as possible and Gov.
cred the city With posters and eireu-
lars, at an expense of several hanafea
doIars. and defeated the proposition
20 bond.
The Republican city administration,
having exhausted an legal means 10
construct the bridges permanently, and
being defeated by the Taxpayers
League, which represents some Of the
largest property owners IN the city, Is
simply closing them up.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MAX
ING BUT LITTLE HEADWAY
Cries Go Up for Strong Policy to End
Tyranny of RevoIutionists.

St Petersburg. wednesday, Dec
13.-The government is making but
little headway in crushing the te1e-
graph strike. The wires of the few
lines over which the service has been
temporarily restored, are constantly
being cut, and not single wire was
working out of st. Petersburg this
morning The news from the Baltic
provinces today is to the effect that
many German landlords who have
not fled are establishing network
of small forts and are standing reg
ular siege. There has been much kill.
ing and burning. The Inhabitants of
the Baltic proViRces now residing in
st. Petersburg were Immensely graf
ified at the publication yesterday OF
the Imperial ukase promising local
self government, which they say
means the abandonment of the Rus
sification policy, which began in 1867
to destroy the unity of the old prov
ince of Lithunia
Cries for a strong policy to end the
tyranny of the revolutionary organi
cations are openly taken up by such
men as Charles Won Schwaebecn
former minister of agriculture. In
an interview he denounces Premier
Wittes policy as fatal, declaring that
a strike law will be as useless as
press law, and saying that the only
sane method is to answer by force
the threats of organizations which
are calling on the people to make
armed resistance Such interviews in
crease the feeling that Witte's posi-
ton is almost lost, and rumors of
the Emperor's intention to establish
a dictator exist On the other hand
it is declared by some that the pre-
mier still enjoys the confidence of
the Emperor, despite the canaille
which is fighting him.
Government advices today from
the Baltic provinces, forwarded part
way from Riga by courier, are of a

Philippine Tariff Question.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-Major
Aaron Cove. former superintendent
of schools at Denver, was the chief
speaker at the hearing today before
the Ways and Means Committee on
the Philippine tariff. He said that he
regarded the sugar and tobacco pro-
duction of the islands to be a great
menace to the sugar and tobacco int
crest of the United States, and ex-
pressed the belief that it is absolute
ly impossible to estimate the output
of the rich islands under modern me-
thodS.
The contest between the Ways and
Means Committee and the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
for control of insurance legislation
was continued in the house today.
Payne took the floor to show that
the power to tax was the only way
in which congress could get control
over insurance, and that the Ways
and Means Committee had jurisdic-
ton over the taxing power.

Lady Hartopp was divorced by Sir
Charles after a sensational trial.
Earl Cowley was correspondent in
the case. Before his accession to the
title, Earl Cowley, as Viscount Dan

breach of promise brought by Phyl-
lis Broughton, of the Gaiety, London.
In 1889 he married Lady Violet Ne
Vile, daughter of the Marquis of Abb
ergavenns Eight years later she OBJ
tanned a divorce, and although she
since married Robert Myddleton Bid

use the title Countess Cowley on the
ground that she is the mother of the

who is now Is years old.

Interstate Commerce Report.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
annual report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission was made public
today. The report is made up almost
entirely of comments on a bill for
proposed amendments which has
been submitted to the senate com
mittee on Interstate Commerce The
most important amendment offered
in this bill is the delegation of auth
ority to the Commission to determine
what rate should be substituted for
the future in place Of one found, af-
ter a full hearing, to be unlawful
with the further provision that the
order of the Commission prescribing
such substitute rate shall take effect
within reasonable time, unless va
Gated or set aside by judicial pro-
ceedings. Among the recommends
tions made is that the government
should investigate all train accidents
and promptly furnish facts concern
ing them.
