Prohibiting Issue of Passes.

Mr.. Foraker then presented his amend
ment prohibiting the issuance by the rail-
road companies of passes, and extending
the prohibition to passes for the cars of
the officials of one railroad over other
lines, and he asked Mr. Tillman If he
would not accept 1t.
Mr.. Tillman replied that If he had the
committee with him he would accept the
amendment, but he thought that IL would
be better to pass an original bill which
we could send on its way rejoicing to the
other house. SO to avoid the melee in
which the rate bill is sure to be involved Y
Notwithstanding the agreement to let
the matter go over, discussion Of 1t con-
ttnued. Mr. Allison expressed apprehen-
sion that the language of the amendment
was not such to render it effective. He
called attention to the fact that the act of
1887 also had prohibited the granting of
passes.
Mr.. Foraker replied that the prohibition
had failed of effect because it provided
no penalty, whereas his amendment car
ried penalties ranging from 500 to s.. 900.
Mr.. Scott called attention to his amend
ment compelling railroads to make bust
ness connections with other lines and
asked Mr.. Tillman to accept it. The reply
in this case was similar to that made in
would accept If he could. but he had no
authority to do so.
Mr.. Foraker expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Tillman had the right to accept
amendments IL no one objected.
The South Carolina senator expressed
qualification and asked for Mr.. Allison's
opinion, saying: This is the first baby
I have ever had to nurse, and 1 am there
fore green"
Mr. Allison complied with the request
and for a time the Senate devoted itself
TO exchange of views on the method
of procedure.

Present Method Opposed.

Mr.. Tillman expressed his disapproval
of the present method of voting on the bill
and all amendments at the same time and
said that when a time was fixed for voting
on the railroad bill he would ask that the
vote begin on amendments two or thee
days in advance in order to permit time
for explanation.
Mr.. CulbersonE asked to have his amend
ment prohibiting railroads and other cor
porations from making contributions to
campaign funds considered, and indicated
a desire to secure an immediate vote.
Mr.. Tlllman expressed the opinion that,
owing to the absence of many senator's,
there should be no vote at once on any
TO this decision as fair
Mr. Tillman responded that he would,
the following day, ask the Senate to Ak
time to vote and that, when that decree
was issued, he would prepare an order of
proceeding for submission to the Senate.
Mr. Teller spoke of the difficulty of
reaching a speedy agreement on the bill.
saying that practically ell the senators
were lawyers and that 1t was extremely
difficult for them to agree. Indeed, he
declared that no two Of them could agree.
He referred to the pressure for action,
but expressed the opinion that the Senate
should not be influenced by public clamor.
Predicts Success of Some Bill.
"Of one thing we may be certain" he
said, 'and that Is that some rate bill will
become law before the final adjournment
OF Congress"
The Colorado senator expressed the opin-
ion that no senator was opposed to re-
view of the decisions of the interstate
commerce commission by the courts. The
difference of opinion referred only to the
method of proceeding. He referred to the
charge that many of the senators were
railroad attorneys. and added: Il have no
doubt that a large number of senators
have been railroad attorneys and posi-
bly, some of them have been railroad pres
idents. Before coming to the Senate I
was myself an attorney for a railroad and
also president of small road. but severed

MR., TILLMAN WANTS VOTE ON

Discussing Method Of Procedure-Mr
Teller Declares Some Bill Will
Become Law

After The Stars report was closed yes
terday Mr.. Overman continued his address
on the railway rate bill. Mr. Overman
spoke for only an hour, and when he
closed Mr.. Tillman made an effort to get
the Senate to fix time for taking vote
Mr.. kean arose while Mr.. Tillman was
speaking, and the South Carolina senator
addressed his remarks to him. The New
Jersey senator declared that he had no
desire to hinder the fixing of a time for
voting, but on the contrary would help
to get a day fixed soon as those who
wanted to speak have had opportunity
to do so.

Work for New Structure Is
to Begin Some Time
Next Week.
TOWN ENJOYS A BOOM
Visitors Give Interesting Reports of
What Is Going Forward at
Railroad Yards.

Gibson has been promised a Y. NJ.
c. A. building, work on which is to be-
gin next week. This is only one of
the announcements that come from the
railroad yards. In the location of new
factory sites and the talk of consoli-
dating the northern part of Lake coun-
ty, the progress at Gibson is occasion
ally overlooked, and in the past few
weeks 1t has only come under the lime
light when stabbing affair or some
bloody crime was committed.
People who have spent a little time
at the new yards return with reports
OF the work, which characterizes it as
stupendous.
A twenty -five-stan roundhouse is
nearing completion, and is only one
of number that are going up. Work
ers are now at work on the construc-
tion of the office building which is in
tended to be a model structure. The
foundation is at present under con-
struction, and is so large as to add an
other story to the building. In connec-
tion with this water and switch towers
are under construction
| OF not the least Importance, espe-
cially to the country at large, will be
the test station which is now being
contemplated. 1t will be for the pur-
pose of testing all the latest railroad
appliances and devices. In connection
with it the railroad companies will
establish a school in the engineering
lines.
Then there are the machine shops
that are now located at Michigan City,
but which will ultimately be moved to
Gibson. Preparation for all this work
lis under way simultaneously and. be-
ing on a broad scale, is naturally
somewhat slow. The largest gangs of
men at present are employed on the
grading and track-laying work.
/ Like Gary or any other new enter
prise. Gibson and its neighborhood is
daily visited by prospectors. Good
business opportunities are assured, and
real estate is still to be had at reason
able figures. Hammond men especially
! have taken advantage of good open
inss. and gotten hold of good property
for which they have already received
profitable offers
