preme court today. With the excep-

thirty-six thousand dollars a year is

by prominent railroad officials at a
hearing given by the board of rail-

are practically the same as last year,
though in some instances the tax is
increased. Several representatives
entered protests, notably w. l..
Stanley, on the part of the Seaboard
Air Line. Mr.. Stanley proposed that
the board should take a trip over
mis- line. and offered free transporta-
tion therefor. His offer was not &C
cepted. The board adjourned until
tomorrow.

Washington, June 25.-ThiS was an
other of the senate's active working
days. By the time the session had
closed so many schedules had been
considered and disposed of that AL
drich freely predicted that by tomor-
row night all of them will be out OF
the way, leaving the senate free to
begin consideration of the corporation
tax and income tax amendments.
Beginning with an increase OF five
per cent over the house rate of
thirty five per cent ad yalorem on
harness, the senate marched steadily
along throughout the nine hours of
it's session. indulging in little speech
making and acting upon many i'm
portant provisions. Among the
changes were:
Increase of duty on scrap iron from
fifty cents to $3.50 per ton, placing it
on the same basis as pig iron; in
crease of a quarter Of a cent per
pound over the house rate on wire
nails; increase from to cents per
pound on manazite sand and thorite,
and other articles used in the manu-
facture of gas nantes, and substitu-
ton of specific ad vaIuTem rates on
files, rasps, etc. An amendment fix
ing duty of half a cent a gallon on
crude oil was agreed TO after consid-
cradle debate. The iiHefeum and oil
cloth schedules were reEast SO as to
apparently meet the demands of the
insurgents and adopted with the un-
derstanding if they are not satisfac
tory on inspection in the record, it

Pensacola's prospects for securing
one, if not two railroads, are very
bright, President c. w. Lamar. OF
the American National Bank, giving
out the information yesterday after
noon that those with whom he is in
correspondence are none other than
officials of a branch OF the Santa Fe
Railroad. Mr.. Lamar favors the pro-
posed road to Andalusia, which will
not conflict with his plans in the
least. In an interview with a Jour-
nal representative yesterday afternoon
he said:
Some months ago one of the Off
Gals of branch line of the Santa Fe
railroad system, after going over with
his engineer the situation in Pensa-
cola with a view to building a rail-
road to Memphis or some other
point on the Mississippi, requested
me to appear before the city council
and try to place myself in such a po-
sition as to obtain for his associates,
If they should so desire, a concession
from the city for waterfront pTiVi-
leges similar to those previously Of
fered to the Pensacola and Memphis
Railway Company. This have been
successful in doing, ard have been
in hopes OF having some definite in
formation to give to the public, and
especially to the council, in regard to
the intentions of these parties whom
l represented. At that time I stated
TO the council that the franchise de-
sired by this railroad system did not
in any manner involve that portion
nf % vgafRrfTnnf uyhTnh ha
given, or promised to the Pensacola
and Andalusia Railroad Company, the
Santa Fe people having asserted that
they were not interested in this latter
line
A DEFINITE PROPOSITION.
MY reason for bringing this matter
before the public is that Pensacola
now appears to have offered it the
only definite proposition for a railroad
that has yet been made to the city,
and for fear that some may think
that the line from Pensacola to An
dalusia now being promoted would
lessen our chances for a railroad to
the west, I wish to emphasize a part
of my request to the council, namely:
that the people interested in the Pen
sacola and Memphis Railroad specifi-
cally stated that they were in no way
interested in the line between Pensa-
cola and Andalusia.
II should like to add" concluded
Mr.. Lamar. that in my opinion the
Pensacola and AndalUsia railroad, IL
built as agreed upon between Mr..
Tillis and the Pensacola syndicate,
will undoubtedly be a great help TO
this city, and the purchase Of its stock
is an investment which believe every
property holder and every citizen
working for PensacoIa'S welfare
should feel it his duty to make"
