BIG CUT IN EXPENSES

f2K,000 SAVED IX APPROPRIATIONS THIS YEAR. State Tax Rate Will lie Lowered About One and Flve-Elffhths Cents Legislative Matter. DEMOCRATIC SENATORS BOLT BREAK A dlOROI BUT CLAIM IT AVAS OXLY A JOKE. An Attempt to Call the Mcliolson II1H In the Senate Sleets Overvrhelmlngr Defeat. The House yesterday morning. took up the report of the committee of the whole on the appropriation bill, and with some few amendments passed It under suspension of the rules. Mr. Mcintosh, of Wayne and Fayette, made a strong and winning fight for the original report in support of the Eastern Hospital for tue Insane, which provided for a specific appropriation of $30,000 for new buildings and for. an annual maintenance fund of $23,000. The committee of the whole had cut this down to ?35,000 for new buildings and to $17,500 for maintenance. Mr. Stakebake, Mr. Binkley and Mr. Remington maae earnest appeals in behalf of the amendment offered by Mr. Mcintosh, while Mr. Remy, Mr. Harrison, of Shelby and others assailed it. Mr. Rem-" ington told of an Insane man confined in the poorhouse of his county because the hospital does not have room for him. He is violent and has twice broken through the brick walls, terrorizing his family and the neighborhood. He is like a wild beast and will not wear a stitch of clothing. The vote on., the amendment was 48 ayes and 22 nays. t Mr. Thomas, of Rush, moved to amend the bill so as to restore the $3,000 appropriation for the Industrial department for the deaf and dumb. Mr. Binkley gave the amendment earnest support, and Mr. Howe made a strong appeal for the appropriation on the ground that the blind, the deaf and the dumb, being handicapped in life in a most deplorable way, ought to have all encouragement to make themselves self-supporting. The amendment was adopted without opposition in votes. Mr. Gregg made an effort to increase the appropriation from $95,000 to $100,000 for the northern prison. He pointed out that the prison received $100,000 when it held six hundred prisoners, and now it holds nine hundred prisoners. Mr. Cuthbert made the point that the money is merely a loan, the prison being self-sustaining; but the House was not moved by sentiment as to the prison and voted down the amendment. Mr. Duncan moved to increase the reported appropriation from $27,00.)' to $30,000 for the Institute for the Blind. Mr. Allen opposed the idea, saying that the school was falling off in attendance. Mr. Wilson spoke against the amendment, and Mr. Remy and Mr. Dinwiddle supported it. Mr. Lambert urged the House to refuse the increase. The amendment was lost. Mr. Allen then moved that the liUl be ordered engrossed, and on this he moved the previous question. He yielded, however, to the amendment bv Mr. Adams, of Parke, for $100 for the State Board of Education's advertising for competition in the purchase of books. Mr. Booher moved to lay the amendment on the table. Carried. Mr. Allen's motion was renewed, and the bill unanimously ordered engrossed. Mr. Allen moved the suspension of the rules, and the bill was passed by a vote of 70 aves to 8 noes. The nays were voted by Billingslv, Blue, Duncm, Harrison of Shelby, Kell, Kelly and White, all being Democrats. Mr. Allen, chairman of the ways and means committee, says that the appropriation bill, as it passed . the House, makes a net cut of nearly $300,000 in the amount of appropriations. He said the reduction in ' the State tax levy would be 1 5-6 cents. These estimates make allowance for the Soldiers' .Home appropriation and for the direct tax for the educational Institutions. On motion of Mr. Robinson, Senate Bill 303, prohibiting winter racing, was handed down by the Speaker. Mr. Robinson moved a suspension of the rules. The rules were suspended and the bill was passed by a vote of 80 yeas to no nays. The House made Senate BUI 474, relating to the reorganization of the prisons, the special order for 2 o'clock. DEMOCRATS BOLTED. Bnt Explained that It Um All a. Joke and Xot Meant Seriously. The Democrats broke a quorum in the Senate yesterday to defeat consideration of Senator Watson's bill for the organization of the prison boards. It was not a very determined or formidable revolt, and caused a delay of only about five minutes while the doorkeepers were bringing in the runaways. The bill was the special order for 11:30 a. m., . and the word had been passed around that when the speciat order was called the minority was to bolt, and they bolted. Borne of them went to the House, others to the cloak room, and others no one knew where. The lobby was present In large numbers, and the break was not noticed. There was surprise on the Republican side when the Democratic orators passed the opportunity to make political capital. The roll call proceeded, and the Democrats slipped out by twos and threes. The Republicans discovered what was up about the time the roll call had been half completed, and a pause was called until the doorkeepers could bring in the deserters. The Lieutenant Governor sent the doorkeepers after the bolters, and one by one they came in, some with a look of blank innocence, others with an expression of sheepishness, as though they had been caught in the act. It" was explained afterward that the bolt was pimply a joke. To break a quorum maliciously and purposely would involve a liability to a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment, and they wished it understood that they did not mean it. The bill passed by a vote of 29 to 13. Senator Seller was the only Democrat who voted for it. He explained that the management of the prisons had been bad: he expected that it would continue to be bad, and that being the case he wanted it to wear the Republican beard. Senator Alexander explained that he would vote for the bill if itproposed a clean sweep, but since it did not he would vote against it. He believed in the doctrine that to the victors belonged the spoils. Senator Haggard went over and shook the hand of Senator Alexander. J . . FLAGS AS TOYS. Mr. Barber's Little Fins Fail to Ac eoniplish Their Pnrponr. Nearly every member of the House has made a plaything of a flag furnished him by Representative Barber, -who has tried to secure the passage of a bill authorizing the State to buy flags for all the schoolhouses in the State. None of the members have inquired where the silk flags which the Representative is furnishing came from, but there were several sharp speeches when the bill came up for passage yesterday afternoon. Not a little humor arose out of the occasion. The House agreed to suspend the rules and put the bill on passage, but not until Mr. Farrell changed his vote from no to aye. He had received no flag, and Mr. Barber presented him one. "I have received my flag," said Mr. Farrell, "and I therefore change my vote." A call was made for the previous question just as Mr. Robinson was about to make a speech showing that the bill was a very suspicious one. Mr. Robinson managed to say "there appear to be a $5,000 job of some sort in this" before he stopped speaking. Mr. Hamrick made a faux pas that brought down the house. He spoke of his own services in putting down the "holy rebellion." He charged the Democrats with refusing to vote, a dollar to suppress this rebellion, but now nek to foist this job on the. State. Mr. Harrison, an ex-soldlor, refused to vote for the bill, which he thought in the imprest of some concern that wanted to furnish the flags. Mr. Howe arose to speak, and Mr. Williams sent the gentleman an armload of petitions to back up hi asmrrtlnn. This .armload is a standing joke in the House, and ts sent to Mr. Howe on almost every occasion that he speaks. "I cannot vote for this bill," atJ Mr. Me, lendy, chairman of the military committee, "but I admire the spirit of the gentleman who offered it, 2 am sorry he did not dis

play the same spirit thirty-four years ago, as he .seems to have a . splendid physical make-up for a soldier." Mr. Robinson showed that the scheme would lead to a familiarity that would breed contempt. He pointed oat the jesting manner In which the members- had used the flag for waving purposes during the last few days. The bill only received 41 votes on passage, 37 being recorded against It., Thus it failed of a constitutional majority. BLOW AT THE XICIIOLSO BILL.

Resolution Calling: It In Referred, to the Temperance Committee. Senator McDonald stirred up a fight in the Senate yesterday by the introduction of the following resolution: hereas, Several days since this body received from the proper officers of the House of Representatives House bill No. 165. rommoiily known as the Nicholson bill; "Whereas, This bill has been referred to a committee of this body designated in the calendar as the temperance committee, where it now reposes among the other bills so far referred to that committee, and Is keeping company with the thounands of petitions offered by the people of the State asking for its passage; and "Whereas, This committee has had plenty of time to make inquiries Into the provisions of this said House bill No. 165, and that they have full and sufficient knowledge of the provisions of the bill: "Whereas, This honorable body fully and completely understands the provisions of this act so well that there Is no reason of any delay in its consideration, and is now ready to take it up, be it "Resolved, That this committee, called and designated the temperance committee, be hereby instructed to report said House bill No. 165 back to this body, with such reports as they have prepared, with or without amendments, with or without recommendations, and that said bill be made a special order for Monday, Maich 4, 1895." Instantly half a dozen Senators were on their feet demanding recognition. Senator Bird," a Democrat, wanted to table the resolutions. Senator McDonald demanded a yea and nay vote, but his voice was lost in the turmoil. Senator Watson moved the reference of the resolution to the committee on temperance, and it was so referred. PARK RESOLUTION DEFEATED. State's Land Cannot Be I'aed for Park Purposes at the City's Expense. Mr. Leedy Introduced a resolution yesterday morning giving the city the right to Improve the State'3 fifteen-acre tract of ground lying adjacent to the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb as a park until It shall be wanted by the State. The resolution, which was a concurrent one, provided that trees should be planted, flower beds and drives laid out and a pleasant breathing space made. He explained that the city does not ask a title and neither does it ask anything which would stand in the way of the State's reclaiming the ground at any time that it has need of it. Duncan, of Owen, opposed the resolution for a reason which he was soon shown did not exist, and he subsided. Mr. Griffin, of Boone, argued against the idea, with the apparent thought that the city was trying to steal the land. He would not listen to the argument that the resolution expressly provides that the State, under no circumstances, is to be subjected to any expense, or to suffer the least bar to possession of the land on demand, and that at present the ground lies a waste of turf, trash and weeds. He said the land ought to be sold, and the members from Marion county agreed with him that if the land could not be parked for the benefit of those who live in the capital, it shoui be sold. The harangue of Mr. Griffin evidently impressed the Marlon county members as a piece of petty parsimony. The resolution was defeated. LOCAL SELF-GOVERXMEXT. Shiveley Police Bill Grants that Power to the , Small Cities. The metropolitan police bill of Senator Shiveley, which passed the Senate yesterday, is one of the most important measures of the session. Six years ago the Democrats passed a so-called metropolitah police bill, which had reference to the city of Indianapolis alone, and which had for its purpose the ousting of the Republicans, then In control, from the management of the police. Two years later the provisions of the bill were extended to apply to Evansville and Terre Haute, and two years ago the provisions of the bill were further extended to apply to all the cities of the State having a population of 10,000. By the provisions of the Shiveley bill the appointment of metropolitan police commissioners in all cities with a population between 6,000 and 35,000 Is , transferred from the Governor to the mayors of the several cities. In cities above the grade of 35,000 the appointing power had been previously taken from the Governor through the operation of the several charters granted. The bill provides that civilservice rules shall apply in police affairs of the cities affected. In a word, the Shiveley bill means a return to local self-government on a civil-service basis. ' ' AX HOl'R'S WAIT FOR OXE MAX. House Passes Bill for Better Management of Prisons. For over an hour the House was waiting to complete a roll call yesterday on isuspending the constitutional rule to pass the Senate bill placing the appointment of prison directors in the hands of the. State officers Instead of the Governor. Just one vote was necessary to secure the necessary two-thirds. The doors' were all locked by order of Speaker Adams, and doorkeepers skirmished about the Capitol and called up the various hotels by telephone to find one more man. The roll was called over and over again for absentees, and Mr. Pettit, who was in the chair, refused to announce the result of the vote. Finally a doorkeeper found Representative' McCrea, who voted aye, thereby suspending the rule by a 67 to 14 vote. Mr. Watson's bill has a title which provides "for the better management of the prisons," and requires the State officers to meet and select directors within thirty days after the bill becomes a law. Two Republicans, Messrs. Howe and Stakebake, voted against the measure. The vote on passage was: Ayes, 67; nays, 16. This action was clinched by a motion to reconsider, which was laid on the table. AXXEXATIOX OF WOODRUFF. Senate Committee Henri W. H. EnKllsh and General Carnahau. The Senate committee on the affairs of the city of Indianapolis held a session. last night to consider the city charter amendments. Mayor Denny, City Attorney Scott, James R. Carnahan, William H. English and a number of others were present. Of the committee there were present Senators Kern, Stuart, McHugh and Cranor. Mayor Denny talked briefly, saying that the city committee had adopted an amendment to the charter, for submission, raising the city attorney's salary to $5,000, but the House, In passing the bill, had reduced it to the present sum of $3,000. Mr. Scott reviewed the recommendations of the city committee, and told what had been done in the House. The principal change was one touching street improvements, giving the majority, instead of two-thirds, the power to defeat an improvement. The recommendation has been changed so as to make the police authority concurrent with the county lines. The salary of the city treasurer (county treasurer ex officio) had been raised from $2,000 to $4,00. The section in regard to the Board of Health was changed so as to create the office of city sanitarian, at a salary of not to excenl $2,000 a year. A new. section had been added to provide for a way through the Circuit Court of assessing benefits and damages to property owners outside of the corporation lines in case of improvements which must necessarily reach beyond the line. -- When Senator Kern, who was presiding, said that any citizen present could have the floor General Carnahan called attention to an amendment that had been made so as to differentiate incorporated towns from unplatted ground. Mr. English next addressed the committee on the subject of the annexation of the town of Woodruff. The House had changed the bill, he said, so that not the owners of Woodruff real estate, , but the residents there who are qualified voters "could defeat aiirxatlon. There are less than one hundred of thv:e, he said, and the situatton presented a casa of less than one hundred standing out against the hundreds of thousands In the great city of Indianapolis. H showed that the , presence of a town within th city constantly cause friction, and he presented several, yards of petition for annexation. If the committca cannot see its way clear to compel Woodruff to be annexed at once. Mr. English br-jged that the law would hot be made srv that - annexation could not be aocompl'shed at some time In the future If the people of the city believed that it should be done. He said that on the east Mde of Woodruff the town claims. two feet in the center of the fctrip laid out for a street, so - that It is impossible for the city to order an improvement of a street that tne many people liv

ing to the east and north of Woodruff want to see improved. He said this would not be tolerated in any civilized country. He referred to the half mile of unbroken fence shutting out the people from crossing the place, and said this is "an unmitigated, unqualified outrage." It would be an advantage to the people of Woodruff, as well as to those living to the east and north, he said, to have Woodruff annexed. While he had one hundred lots in - thi3 region, he also, he said, owiw property in Woodruff. His petition contains the name of Alexander Hess, who owns an addition to the city lying next to Mr. English's, to the east of Woodruff. General Carnahan replied to Mr. English and the committee rose. . CLEARIXG ITS DOCKET.

House Sends n I,arne Batch of Bills to Third Reading. . Several basketfuls of bills were passed by the House last night from second to third reading at a session which lasted ' till 11 o'clock. Not many of these were amended. The Senate mechanic's Ijen bill was killed after some discussion. This bill adds ditching tile, to the material for which liens may be taken out. Speaker Adams made a vigorous speech against the bill and against an amendment by Mr. Moore, which required material men to give notice to property owners before a lien could be effective. Mr. Crozler said he wanted to add an amendment since the question of selfishness had come up. And he asked that a section be put In the bill applying "to tombstone and cemetery supplies." , The Senate bill compelling township trustees to publish reports was engrossed after some opposition. Mr. Robinson recalled that the townhip frauds some years ago would not have occurred had such a law been in effect. Mr. Cardwill had the satisfaction of seeding his water works bill go to third reading, although opposition developed. It permits New Albany to purchase its water works plant by issuing bonds-with the plant as security, thus enabling the city to go above its constitutional limit of indebtedness. The bill of Mr. Duncan for cqrporal punishment of men who beat their wives was killed. The following are the other bills that are now ready, by virtue of last night's action, for the final consideration of the House: ' Pettit Permitting judges to appoint their own bailiffs.

Adams of Parke Providing fpr free schoolbooks; amended so that cities of 30,000 snd upwards may select different books from those adopted by the country districts. Before the House adjourned the committee on rights and privileges actually reported favorably on one of Mr. Howe's bills. It is an extremely important measure, and seeks to protect robins and red birds, which are said not to be so plentiful in Morgan county now as in years gone by. Judge Cardwill, of New Albany, presided at last night's session. Mr". Bobilya was allowed to introduce s bill, No. 644, amending one section of the city charter of Fort Wayne so as to permit an appeal by citizens to the Circuit Court from the decision of the Board of Public Works refusing to yacate a street. It was referred to the committee on cities and towns. Mr. Allen, chairman of the committee on ways and means, made a report in two forms upon Mr. Kamp's bill for the establishment, by the aid of private donation, of an institution for the deaf at Evansville. A majority was for the indefinite postponement of the bill and a minority for its passage. A motion to substitute the minority for the majority report brought out a speech in Its favor by Mr. Holloway and one against it by Mr. Willis. The latter said that the fraternity, bond incumbent upon the people of the State at this time had been strained to include all the public institutions the State ought to be burdened with, and he was opposed to anything likely to prove an entering wedge for the establishment of another one. The motion, however, was adopted, and the bill will be printed. A large number of Senate bills were referred to appropriate House committees. Then Mr. Williams, who was aching to adjourn, kept interjecting a demand for the ayes and noes, and compelled bill No. 461 to be recalled, In order that the demand might not show a quorum was not present. Then he was good naturedly browbeaten out of this metnod of forcing an adjournment, the House settling down to the consideration on second reading of a large number of bills. H. B. 617, constituting the State Board of Charities a clvil-servlce commission, was passed to engrossment; H. B. 530, prohibiting the sale of horse meat for food, and IL R. 238, creating a Superior Court of Grant county, were passed to engrossment. STATE TAX LEVY. DTouse Fixes It nt Twenty-Eight Cents A Redaction. There was no opposition worth mentioning to the bill passed by the House yesterday afternoon fixing the State tax levy, which was placed at 28 cents. This Is itemized as follows: General, 9 cents; benevolent institutions, 5 cents; school tuition, 11 cents; sinking fund, 3 cents. Aside from this is the direct tax for the support of the State educational institutions, amounting to onesixth of a mill on the dollar. The total reduction of the levy over two years ago is 15-6 cents. Mr. Duncan, Democrat, opposed the bill because it cut the school tuition fund 2 cents. Mr. Allen explained the bill. Passed by the Senate. The Senate passed the following bills yesterday: House Bill 477 To legalize the incorporation of the town of 0."sian, Wells county. By Senator Gifford Fixing the per diem of township trustees and designating the funds from which the same shall be drawn. By Senator Mull To amend the act relating to the sale of tobacco to children.

By .Senator Crumpaoker Legalizing plats to cities and town:1 th.it had not been signed. , "" ;- Failed In the Senate. The Senate yes'erdsy defeated the bill of Senator Baker providing penalties for the pollution, of laken and tstreams. Belief was especially fought for the ;M!sissinewa, Wabash and hlte river, which have been practically depopulated of their lteh by the

poisonous discharges from the strawboard works and the paper mills. The argument against the bill was that it would tend to embarrass great industries that had invested heavily and that give employment to a large number of employes. The vote was: Yeas, 13; nays, 27. Senator McDonald's WH making it a requisite that a county superintendent shall hold a professional license was also defeated by a vote of 14 yeas to 25 nays. The bill to amend the act for the regulation of the practice of dentistry failed for the want of a constitutional majority, the vote standing: Yeas, 21; nays, 15. Status of Political 3Iensures. , Several political measures were yesterday made the special order for Monday in the Senate.

"Lay-Over" Bill Passes. The celebrated "lay-over" bill, compelling drivers on a public highway to allow drivers behind them to pass, went through the House with a few votes to spare, fifty-four voting for it and thirty-four against It. The committee amended the 'measure so that the words of warning should be "turn out" instead, of "lay over," x , In the Governor's Hands. . Governor Matthews received the bill repealing the present legislative apportionment and providing a new one. This gives him Until Tuesday to file his veto, which is considered to be certain to come.
