LAST FOUR DATS
OF THE ASSEMBLY
Many Important Measures Await Legislative Action
Before Next Thursday, When the Session Expires
by Constitutional Limitation—Many are Bound
to Fail for Lack of Time to Consider Them—Some
to be Passed.
SAVANNAH RAILWAYS
NOW IN NEW HANDS
ATLANTA, Dec. S.—The coming week
Is the last, and will be the busiest of
the session. A volume of work will ho
crowded in the space of the next five
days equal In amount to what has been
accomplished In the preceding forty—
that Is, If history repeats Itself In this
respect.
The more Important measures are
yet'todome. There are the amendments
to tho constitution which are expected
to reach the house by tomorrow or
Tuesday. Then there is the redistrlct-
1ns bill which will have to pass the
house by Tuesday in order to be acted
on In the senate,- but so far as the re
sults to bo accomplished are concerned
It were Just as well that It had never
been Introduced, for the senate pro
poses to trim oft all changes sug
gested.
Another Important measure ahead is
the senate bill of Senator Chappell lim
iting the power of the legislature to
levy taxes to five mills, which awaits
Its third reading in the house. This
measure Is liable to stir up opposition
In the house because of the idea that
has gone abroad that It is aimed at tho
school and pension funds.
What ho* become of the celebrated
tax commission bill? It seems to have
been left to its fate and died a natural
death. There Is no possibility of res
urrecting It now, as it Is so bulky that
it would take at least a week to prop
erly consider it, if It could be done In
that time. .
The Blalock resolution Is on tho cal
endar for a second hearing and the
committee on rule* will probably give It
another hearing after the redistrlcdng
bill. This latter measure, it now ap
pears, will be made the special con
tinuing order for tomorrow morning
until disposed of. Debate, very likely,
will be limited on this, as on the depot
bill and tho Blalock resolution.
Another measure Just Introduced yes
terday that will be pressed tor consid
eration is the bill of Mr. Miller of Mt»>
cogee appropriating an additional J63,-
600 for the Indigent fund for next year,
making the total fund for that purpose
for 1902 »362,500. ,
Kelly's Australian ballot bill Is again
before the bouse for action, being
amended in the committee on privileges
and elections, to which It was referred
a second time, so that It would meet
the objections of certain members who
were deposed toward the measure with
certain feature* eliminated or modified.
It is expected that the attendance on
this the last week of the session, will
be somewhat better than It has been
for the session so far, and that many
measures can new be put through In a
whirlwind. Even In cases where there
i.. a contest the meaures ought to have
a better show of passing, for the next
five days will no doubt show a pretty
lull house. . ^ . -
Another measure that has dropped
out of sight sirfee Its Introduction Is the
bill by Hal! of Fannin to raise the poll
tax from $1 to $3 per bead. It hasn’t
the ghost of a show. The membera
wouldn't touch It with a forty-foot pole.
A member said that the man who vot?d
for that measure had Just as well make
up his mind to stay at home the bal
ance of his day*.
Some of the members are a little skit-,
tlsh too. on the Hitch inheritance tax
bill ’ which though like the Kelly Aus
tralian ballot bill and the Blalock reso
lution. was defeated and reconsidered,
new stands for another hearing. This
In a revenue getter that would b/lng In
from $400 000 to 1500.000 pear year, but
It is doubtful if the legislature will
keeps to the end, there will be as many
as thirty members of the house aspir
ing for seats in the senate. As that
body is, composed of only forty-four
members, it would seem that there will
he very few new faces around the up
per body.
It Is funny how these house member?,
when they go over to the tonate, Im
bibe the superior senatorial feeling, but
we have had a few such Instances of
late.
There are many other Important mat
ters ahead, ouch as the agricultural
college at Griffin, the teaching of a
text book on farming nnd farm life in
the public schools, and many others,i
which may never be reached at all.

THE SENATE.
The passage in tho senate yesterday
of the house resolution Introduced by
Mr, Toomer of Ware county authoriz
ing the state of Georgia to receive and
hold any bequests of lands 1n South
Georgia, given as a site for the estab
lishment of on experiment station In
that pectlon of tho state foreshadows
a strong effort that will be made at
an early day to show that South Geor
gia Is tho natural home of sugar cane.
The property the state is authorized to
receive under the resolution, nnd to
hold for the purposes already Indicated,
Is located nenr Waycrosft The people
of that section are In deep earnest In
the development of South Georgia In
this line. In passing the bill Mr. Toom
er made a most Interesting speech, and
was attentively listened to. He showed
that that what was most needed to In
sure the success of this Industry was
an experiment station, located In the
heart of the territory to be devoted to
tho business of growing cane nnd mik
ing syrup, and called the attention of
the members of the house to the fact
that the people of South Georgia were
willing to contribute in any way that
they could to Insure the success of the
Industry. The house showed its endorse
ment of the undertaking by passing the
measuro unanimously.
When the bill reached the senate It
found a warm friend and advocate
ready to help It along In the person of
Senator L. Johnson of the Fifth dis
trict, who Is regarded as one of the
most able and conservative members
of the upper branch of the general as
sembly of Georgia.
Senator Johnson called the attention
of the senate to the great advantages
that South Georgia offered In the way
of growing sugar cane and long staple
cotton and other products of like char
acter.
lie said that the soil and climate of
that section of the state was well adap*
ted to this business, and that his sec
tlon had an abundance of both. The
senator said that the section of the
state that he In part had the honor to
represent was an agricultural and stock
raising territory and that south Geor
gia was rapidly forging its way to the
front not only in this line, but also In
the way of population.
He called the attention of the mem
bers of the senate to the fact that there
were In his section of the state hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
from which the timber had been fcut
and that these were being rapidly taken
up by a thrifty class of farmers, who
were doing well. He said that when
the lumbermen left these lands they did
so under the Impression that they had
carried away all* that was of value,
when as a matter of fact they had left
more than they had haufed off, in the
lands that they had devastated of their
timber. He said that the real value of
these lands Is In the soli, and that they
are more valuable for farming and gra
zing purposes now than when they had
timber on them.
The senator's earnestness In this
matter had the effect of commanding
■a m-mtSWr the house in discussing the closest ®«entlon the members of
legislation considered at this se«*Ion tj»« tenet*, and when he had conc luded
•Llatastnight that It was a noticeable i the resolution was passed by a unanl-
Uct that th* present house had passed nious vote,
no anti-railroad legislation this
SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 8.—It was au
thoritatively announced this morning
that tho Edison Electric Illuminating
Company had acquired and taken over
the street railway Interests in this city.
The Edison Company Is owned prin
cipally In Boston and Savannah. George
Parsons of New York was president
and majority owner of the street rail
way company. It Is understood that he
got considerably more than $1,000,000
for his Interest. The city and subur
ban railway lines aggregate more than
twenty-five miles.
Tho Edison Company now operates a
lighting plant here and has the city
contract. The two companies are capi
talized at about $3,500,000. They will be
consolidated end new securities Issued.
George J. Baldwin, president of the Ed
ison Company, will bo president of tho
new corporation.
This consolidated Interest a few
weeks ago secured control of the elec
tric lighting and street railways In

that Texas oil will be uqed as fuel, and
that n line of tank steamers will be put
on between this city and Galveston or
Port Arthur.

Chief Moore Tells of the Progress
Made Especially In Wireless Tele

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Tho annual
report of Professor Willis L. Moore,
chief of tho United States weather bu
reau, says that substantial Improve
ments have been made during the past
year In the weather bureau systc*m of
wireless telegraphy. Such progress has
been made by tho government experi
menters that, with no Interference by
private systems, stations can be oper
ated successfully over at least 150 miles
of coast line and are now In operation
along the Virginia and North Carolina
coasts and soon will be Instituted be

Tho report says n system of merit
and discipline has been gradually devel
oped In the bureau which not only con
forms to the letter of tho civil service
law, but carrier Its spirit to a logical
conclusion. The system compels each
employe or official to work out his own
official salvation. Tho line of work
pursued In previous years by the cli
mate and crop service of the weather
bureau were continued, and extensive
Improvements made wherever possible.
The cotton region service has been ex

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—American
commerce with China seemn to have
suffered more during tho disturbances
of last year thun that of other coun
tries. It Is well known that tho ex
ports from tho United States to China
last year showed a marked reduction,
but It is only through the official fig
ures of the Chinese government Just
received by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics that a comparifon of tho depres
sion In our own Chlnet-e trade with that
of other countries can be obtained. Im
ports Into China from Great Britain
in 1900 exceeded those of 1899 by more
than five million Halkwan taels, those
from Russia Increased a million
Halkwan taels, thoso from Turkey
In Asia, Persia, Egypt, Algiers, et., ft
considerable increase, and thoso from
continental Europe a slight inci\iie;
while from the United States the Im
ports fell from 22,288,743 Halkwan taels
In 1899 to 16,724.493 In 1900. This was
was a reduction In Imports from tho
United States of about 25 per cent.,
while the United Kingdom showed an
increase of more than 10 per cent.,
Russia more than 25 per cont., the
Asiatic countries above mentioned -ID
per cent., and continental Europe u
slight Increase.
An examination of the details of the
Import trade with China In 1900 com
pared with that of preceding years,
also Justifies tho conclusion that Amer
ican trade suffered more than that of
other countrlea during the year 1900.
Cotton, goods and kerosene are the
largest Imports Into China from the
United States, and they come Into com
petition with English, Dutch and Jap
anese cotton and Russian and Suma
tran kerosene.
The figures Just received by the treas
ury bureau of statistics show that In
cotton drills the tmporta of English
goods fell from 78,887 pieces In 189$ to
69,043 In 1900, a reduction of less {nan
10,000 pieces; that the Imports of Dutch
drills Increased from 40,170 plecet In
1899 to 44,624 In 1900. but that those of
American drills fell from 1,626,107 pieces
In 1899 to 805.892 In 1900, a reduction of
more than one-half In American goods;
while those from England showed & re
duction of less than 15 per cent., and
these from the Netherlands an actual
gain of more than 10 jwr cent.
In sheetings, those of English manu
facture fell from 762,762 pieces In 1899
to 603,199 In 1900, a decrease of about
160,000 pieces, while those of the Unite I
States fell from 2,975,902 pieces to 2.212,-
494. a reduction of more than u million
and a half pieces.
Kerosene oil Importations of the
American product fell from 40,724,959
gallons to 34,447,112 gallons, a decrease
of more than six million gallons; that
from Russia fell from 35,605,116 to 32,*
708.757 gallons, a decrease of about
3,000.000 gallons; while? that from Su
matra showed an Increase of over
4/<00.000 gallons, the figures for Suma
tra n oil being for 1899 11,993,202 gallons
and for 1900 16,424,155.
