LOWER HOUSE IN FLORIDA MAKES
APPROPRIATION. IT,
opposition to Spending Money ON Gov.
ernor's Residence Backed by Old
Time Fight for Removal
of Capitol.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 14-fSpeeiaD
The bill, appropriating $4,000 for
completion and furnishing of the Gov
ernor's mansion, took up the entire
morning session of the House. Siren
uous opposition to the appropriation
was developed and this is supposed TO
be backed by the advocates for a re-
moval of the capitol.
The removal fight Is almost as old
as the State and it comes mp at every
session. Heretofore Jacksonville has
been making the effort but this year
so far no bill to remove the State
House to Jacksonville has been made
but a removal bill in favor of Live
Oak was introduced several days ago.
IT is understood that another bill will
be presented which contemplates re-
moval to ST. Augustine.
The appropriation was passed by 81
to rs but Representative MacWilliams
gave notice of reconsideration tomorr
row morning.
The joint investigation committee.
to look into the affairs OF the Inter-
nal IMPROVEMENT. submitted special
report to the House this afternoon
stating that It would be impossible to
complete the investigation before the
end of the session. The resolution,
under which the Committee was ap-
pointed, provided that report should
be made at this session. Discussion
of the special report of the Committee
was made special order for 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The question Will
be upon the granting of additional
time or discharging the Committee
with the work already accomplished.
The Committee reported that the
Investigation of the records had gone
hack only to The first of the year, 1901.
The resolution requires that the inves-s
tigation shall be made from the crea-
ton of the trust in 1853. The COM
mittee has already been at work about
one month.

HOSTILE TO IRISH BILL.
Measure II Denounced by Cardinal
LOgue.

Logue.
Dublin, May 1.-THE active hostility
of the Catholic church against Mr..
Birrell's Irish bill renders especially
difficult John e. Redmonds task Of
securing its approval by the forthcom-
Ing nationalist convention.
Cardinal Logue. primate of all Ire
land has now Joined Archbishop Walsh
and the bishops of Limerick and Kill
dare In denouncing the measure, and
the lead given by the prelates is par
ticularly fateful, as practically every
parish priest in Ireland will be a del
egate to the convention. The Nation
alist revolt Is being assiduously slim
ulated by Timothy M. Healy, William
O'Brien and other politicians. Mr..
Healy, in an open letter, declared that
the introduction OF the bill was the

be a crime against the Irish nation"

Neither the Chief Secretary for Ire
land nor the premier, according to Mr..
Healy, favored the introduction OF the
"stunted bantling, which only saw the
light of day because of the pressure
of the Irish leaders"

Tallahassee. Fla, May 14-(Specialo
There Is less than three weeks re-
naming for the Florida Legislature
70 accomplish the legislation needed.
The needs are taken to be those COW
cred by the recommendations of the
Governors message.
practically nothing recommended by
the Governor has yet been enacted in
to law, although measures to meet
these recommendations are rending.
Six weeks of the session have pass
-, and yet no very impo. tant laws,
have been passed. The time has been
taken up with local bills largely, and
considerable time has been given to
the killing of measures that might
have worked either great good or
great detriment to the State.
As legislatures go the session has
been embarrassing, and has been mark
ed with interest In only two debates.
The one in the Senate was that for
taxing franchises. The measure was
introduced by Senator Trammeli and
he made determined effort to have
1t passed. but the Senate rejected it
by vote of II to TO-. This mea sure
provided for the taxing of the gross
receipts of public utility corporations
at a rate of one and one-half per
cent.
From the time the measure was pre-
scented until II was voted down the
contest was interesting. The Commit
tee on Corporations was opposed to 1t
and made an attempt to sidetrack IL
and the railroads and telegraph COM
panies had a lobby in Tallahassee
working against 1t. 1t is anticipated
that the same measure in another form
VIII be introduced in the House du-
ring the coming week, and 1t is al
most certain that the House will pass
the measure.
Corporations I'm Dispute.
Thus far the Senate and the House
have been unable to get together in
harmonious action upon legislation af-
recting corporations. The Senate has
defeated nearly every measure of such
character and the House has record
ed itself with as much decision in ia
vor OF action to restrict public SER
vice companies. Even If the House
passes the franchise tax bill there In
ample reason to believe that the meas
ure viii be turned down in the Senate
even though 1t be passed to that body
In different dress. There is some
hope that the vote for the measure
viii be larger than 1t was on the first
try out. for in explaining their votes
the Senators, some of them, expressed
desire to vote for a franchise tax
measure, but did not indorse the form
OF the measure which they were asked
to vote on.
The other debate which attracted
occupants to the galleries was that in
the House over the Beard resolution
to amend the Constitution so as to dis
franchise the negro. The Senate
passed this measure but the House
defeated 1t overwhelmingly.

with the Holy Ghost and power.
The power of the Holy Ghost as man
ifested in the early church was of a
'threefold character First it revealed
Jesus Christ in his character and per-
sonality to the consciousness. Second

in the work of God and In furthering

Gle Cal Tfppin, q member of the camp
who resides in Florida, could restrain
himself no longer, but rose from mis-
seat and danced up and down in front
of the rostrum, to the intense merri-

Church. and a Northern
man, addressed the veterans in few
well chosen and appropriate remarks,

the gentleman.
