UNPRECEDENTED is said to be the ac-
tivity in the shipyards of the Delaware
river. The three great yards are crowd
ed to their utmost capacity with work, and
since the beginning of the year nineteen
vessels of every sort have been completed
and thirty-nine vessels are now in pro-
cess of construction. Altogether ship
building does not look like an object OF
charity, claimant upon the national
bounty, and disproves the claim that
subsidies ere necessary for the building

The Presidents Amendment

The speech which Senator Long, of
Kansas, intended to deliver ir the SEN
ate Monday on the court review phases
of rsilrosd-rate legislation, bat which
was postponed until yesterday, developed
an almost sensational running debate
when delivered in the Senate. Dir. Long
occupied nearly three hours for his
speech, and of this time oue-tbird was
consumed by a running battle, in which
Senators Knox. Foraker, Bacon. fill
man, Bailey aud CubersOn focused their
attention upon the Kansan, and incl
denta.ly upon venerable Senator Allison,
of Iowa, who came TO the rescue OF Mr..
Long when the other Senators used their
levers in an attempt to have the occur
rences of the White House conference of
Saturday officially lifted into the Senate.

The feeling on both sides OF the Sem
ate respecting this conference has been
one of resentment ever since the an

at the conference, and democrats and
other republicans not invited have prl-
vately protested against the holding of q
conference, which was not only partisan,
but 80 exclusively so that many OF the
Presidents own partisans in the Senate
were not taken into his confidence.
As a climax OF an interesting discus
sion about Saturdays White House cou-
ference, Senator Bailey announced sar-
caslically but complseently that he want
ed "publicIy to complain" because
democrats bad not been invited to help
put into shape the White Heuse amend

Mr.. Bailey INDUCED in criticism OF

of the resolutions read as follows ::
"Your committee desires to repeat and

urge the endorsement at this convention
of such legislation as will so enlarge the
powers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that it shall have authority to
correct any rate, regulation, or practice.
in relation to the transportation OF inter
state commerce which may be found,
after investigation, to be unreasonable
as unjGsily discriminatory, and to sub.

its orders in relation thereto shall be-
come effective. Such legislation, how
ever, shall carefully preserve to the car
rier the protection by the courts of all
its rights under the Constitution. h.
Warner Hill, Of Georgia, chairman Of
the railway commission, presented the
resolution in report on amendments TO

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

OUutT lut result vi tue clCStioh hCiu
in Chicago yesterday, 10 which the
question Of municipal ownership OF the
street railways was The vital issue, the
city of Chicago can proceed to acquire
and control the railways, but cannot
operate them. At the same time the
voters, while declaring that the city
shall not proceed to operate the rail-
roads, declared that as question Of
public policy it would be desirable FIR
the city to do so.
Three propositions were submitted to
the voters, the first of which was:
"ShaIl the city of Chicago proceed to
operate street railways ~
This proposition required GO per cent.
of the total vote cast in order to become
effective The total vote was, approx
mately 2Sl 900 OF this number the
proposition to proceed 10 the immediate
operation of the street railways secured
but 12l 900 votes-about 1900 short
of the n. cessary three-ffIhs.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council providing for
the issue Of street-railway certificates 10
amount not to exceed $75, 900, 900 for
the purchase, ownership aud mainten-
ance Of the street railways.
This was carried by about 3, 500 votes.
The election was one of the most in
teresting to Chicago voters that has beeu
held in many years, The vote was much
larger than had been expected, End all
day the contest for and against munich
pal ownership was bitterly fought.
Party lines were largely ignored, and
the eligibility Of candidates depended
more upon their attitude toward munich
pal operation of street cars and high
licenses for saloons than upon their
party records.
OF the 35 aldermen who were elected
yesterday, Mayor DnnDe claims that 10
are avowed champions of municipal
ownership.
The faction opposed TO municipal
ownership declares that they still hold
the control of the council, and that
Mayor Dunno will have no greater sue
cess in the future than he has had in the
past.
Besides the question Of municipal
ownership the issue WAS mace in many
of the aldermauic contests of whether
the saloon licenses of the city shall be
$500 or 81, 900.
The liquor interests made strong
fight against every alderman who was up
for reelection who had voted for the
license of $1,000. OF the Is men
against whom they put tbeirinfuence II
were elected and defeated. OF the
nine aldermen up for reelection who
voted for the continuance OF the S5OO
license all were returned to their seals in |
tie council. There is little danger
however, that the high license will be re-
pealed.
The total vote cast on the question OF
municipal ownership was 23l, III. Of
this number l20,9ll was cast in favor
of municipal operation OF the street rail-
ways, and 10, 260 against it. In order
to become binding the proposition to
operate the railways should have re-
ceived 1880 votes. 1t, therefore,
Tell short OF the required number by |
II, 1872 votes.
The proposition to issue s75, 900, 600
in street railway certificates was carried
by vote of 10, COS against LOG, 500.
The question OF public policy was car
ried by vote of III, S62 to l08, O25.
