NOW GOES TO HIGGINS.
assembly Passes Bill CITING Rail
roads Po1CerS of Condemnation.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBUNE,l


Albany April 19.-By overwhelming vote
the Assembly to-day passed the GoodseH bill
granting to railroads enormous additional pow
ers for condemnation. This bill character
ized in the Senate permitting the New York
Central the Pennsylvania to build railroad
line down to the Battery and another round the
water 'front.'
In the debate in the Assembly the bill was
opposed by Assemblyman Fuller, who read the
Characterization of the bill in The Tribune Of
to-day, and by Assemblymen Stanley and Rigby,
who both declared that the bill was bad, because
il blind did not state what the corporation
interested after and on this principle should
be opposed. Assembyman Bedell, who in past
years has managed the floor debate on such
measure, gave way to Assemblyman Wade in
this instance, an incident which interpreted
as meaning that the uuceremonious defeat of an
earlier railroad grab of Bedelrs early in the ses-
sion had caused a temporary retirement on his
part
This bill has already passed the Senate and
will go to the Governor.

LOWER BANK SAFEGUARD
amendment Would Make Bonds of
Many Railroads AuaiLable.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuN !

Albany, April Ex-senator Gardner and his
band Of ten who succeeded last week in having
the Savings Bank Investment bill amended for
the benefit Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Railroad made another attack to-day and were
successful to an extent which still remains TO he
estimated.
With the aid Of Senator Bracket they had the
bill still further amended so to let in not only
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois but number
of other railroads. This was accomplished by
lowering the standard provided by the present
law, so that to have it's bonds legalized for saw
ings bank investment, railroad need have a
gross yearly income OF only four. instead of f1ve.
times the fixed charges on these bonds. The
time during which road must have conformed
to this standard remains the same as at present
five years.
The amend nent Senator Bracket introduced
was "a striking one.
THE State has been scandalZed enough"
said he, "by the enactment Of special legisla-
ton for the benefit Of individual railroads. We
want a general standard and a law that will
work automatically. without mentioning any
particular railroad"
His amendment strikes from the law the list
OF roads now named. and makes the reduction in
required earnings already described. The rail-
roads dropped from the list will not suffer. for
they already conform to the standard. which
,Yill work automatically in their favor.
Senator Gardner sought to strengthen the mis-
apprehension regarding the amendment by in
nocently inquiring:
Would not this change strike cut the features
objected to by the Governor"
'I don't know" replied Senator Bracket, with
a great show of independence. "and don't care
7 have not conferred with the Governor. be-
lieve that he has no intention of interfering with
legislation. and. at any rate. his recommends
tions would have no effect on me-"
Senator Raines opposed the amendment, hold
ing that the wishes Of the savings bank people
would be furthered if the Senate struck out the
name Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois from
the measure as previously amended.
The opposition showed a lack Of organization.

worked hard all morning getting their forces

tivities and a number Of them were
present. The supper consisted prin-
cipally Of oysters served In various
styles, with beer to wash them down.
There were two fires during the
holidays. The first alarm came from
the Parish hotel last Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and was sent in by
telephone. The flremen answered
promptly and found the trouble on the
third floor Of the building. Smoke was
Issuing from a partition between two
rooms. A part of the partition was
| torn out and the fire was located In a
wad of cotton blanket. The blanket Is
supposed to have been used to stop a
| hole between two rooms. The origin
of the fire could not be definitely as
certained, as there had been no fire In
the fireplace near by since the night
before. 1t has been suggested that the
mischief Is probably traceable to rats
and matches. The second fire occurred
on Monday afternoon at about 1.30, and
destroyed Mr.. ]. s. Mackorell's darn
The alarm was not given until the fire
had made considerable headway and
although the fire department answered
promptly it was able to accomplish but
little: The building was entirely con-
sumed with its contents, including sew
eral bales of hay, a set Of harness and
other articles. The loss amounted to
between $500 and $500.

SENATOR Tillman is engaged in put
ting up a pretty stiff fight against
President Roosevelt, and there Is rea-
son to believe that the last named
gentleman is becoming more or less
uncomfortable in consequence. The
particular points the senator Is under
taking to ventilate are former Secretary
Paul Morton's alleged criminal con-
aection with the Santa Fe railroad
crookedness, and the presidents neg
lect to prosecute the case with the
vigor that he might have resorted to
had the accused been somebody else,
and also the presidents conduct in
maintaining an administration press
agency in connection with the Panama
canal operations. There seems to be
very little question of the fact that
the administration has been endeavor-
ing to color Panama canal news in con-
formity to his own notions, and that
many of the reports sent out with his
sanction are at wide variance with the
facts. Senator Tillmans fight is meet
ing the approval Of not only all of the
Democratic senator's; but quite num-
Der of influential Republican senators
as WELL and there is belief that If the
South Carolina senator will confine his
attacks to charges that he can prove
he will do the president not a little
hurt, and the country a great deal of
good.
