MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Chicago People Will Vote on Street
Railway Purchase.

Chicago.-The City Council at spe-
cial meeting Wednesday took action
on three important propositions affect
ing the city. An order fixing the
price to be paid for gas by consumers
at S5 cents instead of 80 cents and 81
as heretofore, was passed over the
veto of Mayor Dunno, 81 to 10.
An ordinance raising the liquor H.
cense from $500 to $609 was passed,
but not by constitutional majority,
and when it comes up again the $1,000
advocates expect to win.
1t was decided to have the people,
vote on issuing bonds of $75OO0,0 900 to
purchase street railways.
The ordinance placing the saloon IL
cense at 5000 instead of $500, the pres
ent figure, was passed by vote of 35
to SO, but Mayor Dunno ruled that the
measure had failed of passage because
it did not receive &c votes, the con-
stitutional majority.
The $1,000 ordinance was then REIN
troduced, but it was referred to the Ii
cense committee, to be presented again
at the next meeting of the Council,
February Goth.

NEW LINES.
FIVE REPUBLICANS BOLT
Thirteen New Contract Mail Lines Es-
tablished-Subvention to Vessels
in Foreign and Philippine Trade
Naval Reserve Force Created.


Washington.-At few minutes af-
ter 6 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
the Senate cast its first ballot on the
subsidy shipping bill, which was passed
by vote of 3S to 27. All the votes for
the bill were by Republican senator's,
and five Republican senators voted
with the Democrats in opposition.
They We're Messrs. Burkett, Dolliver,
LaFollette, Spooner and Warner.
| The vote on the bill was preceded by
action on a number of amendments,
and this by an entire day of debate.
Many important amendments were ac-
cepted, but only in one case was a
modification agreed to that was not in
accordance with the wishes of the
managers of the bill. The exception
was on an amendment offered by Mr..
Spooner eliminating the provision Civ
ing half pay to members of the naval
reserve who have served less than six
months.
AS passed the bill establishes thir-
teen new contract mail lines and in
creases the subvention of the Oce-
anic line. running from the Pacific
coast tc Australasia.
OF the thirteen new lines three
three leave Atlantic coast ports, one
running to Brazil, one to Uruguay and
Argentina, and one to south Africa;
six from ports on the Gulf of Mexico,
embracing one to Brazil, one to Cuba,
one to Mexico and three to Central
America and the Isthmus of Panama; !;
four from Pacific coast ports, embrac-
ing two to Japan, China and the Phil
ippines direct; one to Japan, China,
and the Philippines via Hawaii, and
one to Mexico, Central America aad
the Isthmus of Panama.
| The bill also grants subvention at
the rate of S5 per gross ton per year
to cargo vessels engaged in the for
eign trade of the United States and at
the rate of $3.50 per ton to vessels en-
gagged In the Philippine trade, the Phil
ippine coastwise law being postponed
until 1909.
Another feature of the bill is that
creating a naval reserve force of 10,-
900 officers and men, who are to re-
ceive retainers after the British prac-
| tice. Vessels receiving subsidies are
| required to carry a certain proportion
of naval reserve men among their
crews. The aggregate compensation
for mail lines is about 100000 an
nually. No steam vessels of less than
1000 tons is to receive aid under the
bill.
