STATE CAPITOL BILL
HIT IN THE NECK
APPROPRIATION BELL KILLED BY H0USE
SATURDAY MIGHT
OUTSIDE WILL BE FURNISHED
Commissioners Viii Meet And
Determine What Steps To
Take Next.
OUTSIDE WILL De FURNISHED

Little Rock, May 4-The killing
of the state capitol appropriation
bill by the House OF Representa-
tives Saturday night makes it al
most certainty that the new state
house will be about as far from
completion-in in 1903 as it is today.
According to R. w. MeFarlane,
one of the commissioners, the
dome of the capitol will not be
erected in that time, nor will there
be anything but bare brick walls to
confront the members Of the legis-
latare when they convene two years
hence.
Tuesday afternoon the Capitol
Commission will meet and determine
what steps are to be taken in the
light of the recent act of the Gener-
al Assembly. The fear that the
menslsers might re,sign aWing to the
past week appears to-1''s =. -, +
foundation. As one OF the me1f1-
bers of the commission expressed 1t
last night, he would have resigned
if the legislature had passed the
bill and vindicated the men Ill
charge of the work at the building,
hut under the circumstances reSlg-
nation is now out of the question
He declared he is tired of the work
and would gladly withdraw, II the
! legislature had passed the capitol
appropriation bill
The commission is by no means
prepared at present to place 1t
conner dome on the capitol, says
Mr. McFarlane. He did not ex-
plain why, but the fact that copper
has advanced ten cents pound
since the contract was awarded may
hay. something to do with the
matter. Under the law the commi-
sion has the right to change the
specifications, but owing to the
lack of funds, it is probable that
no work will be done on either the
dome or the walls. However, the
contractors will proceed with the
completion of the roof and the other
outside work, but this should oc-
