lVhy tho Morrle Franchlso Ja Asked Tho Kentocky Avenn Brldgr Arranszementa For the Line to Hsughvlile. President A. L. Mason, of the Citixens' Street Railroad Company, said to day that some mistakes have been made in discussing the application of the company to some of the White river bridges. J' "Th reason," he said, she company applies to the County Commissioner for the right to use electricity over the bridges is to be lound in the act oi the Legislature of 1S91, which authorizes a.

street railroad to nse electricity, but requires it to get th consent of the Common Council ot the city when it operates in cities, and of the Boaid of County Commissioners when; it operates outside of th limits of incorporated cities. "The street railroad has now a franchise for the Morris street bridge which author ires animal power, but doe not comply with the act of 1891, in that it does not eon sent to the us of electricity. What the company aks is merely to be allowed to ue electricity over the Morris street bridge in the place of animal power for the same time and 'upon the same conditions under which it is now permitted to nse mules. This consent is absolutely necessary to continue to operate the stock yards line. The company has put a considerable amount of money equipping this line across the river, and the stock yards people, tbemselvea have contributed to building the loop which now runs in front of the Stock Yards Hotel.

As the thing now stands, the company is a mere trespasser on the bridge id. using electricity, and such a condition can not continue. No extension of the comnanr'a right ia sought, and the change is simply on which will accommnpate the stockyards people and th West Indianapolis people patrouizing that line." "What of the Keutucky avenu bridge?" "With regard to the Kentucky avenue bridge we ourselves have fallen into error, as it now transpires that the company already has the consent of th. county commissioners to use electricity. over that bridge, and.

hence nothing is asked or needed from the commissioners for the Keutucky avenu bridge. This was not discovered until yesterday, bn examination of the records. i "Concerning the Ilsughvillo bridge, the, request ia dirJerent. We have no rights there now at alL The company has not accepted the Uaughville ordinance, and as yet I have received no authority ito accept it, nor do I know what the outcome of that willba.i In any event, the Heughsrille line conld aot be constructed satisfactorily without the right to nse the Michigan street bridge. It is the people of Haughville who have asked fori and' insist upon this route as being, the only direct, practicable and satisfactory route to the city.

The present" line along the river bank is susceptible only of a simgle track, and the bank of 'the river is liable at any flood to fall in, rendering the route impracticable. Furthermore, large numbers of the Haughville employes live in the neighborhood' of Blake and' Michigan streets, and. ar entitled to a direct route home after their day's work, instead of a long journey to Washington street and a transfer back. i has been suggested that the company wait nntil the bridge is built at First street and then send, the Haughville Roe that way. "This promises to be a good but the Haughville people say that it will not accommodate them.

The population is near Michigan street, and the people are not willing to be carried up to First street in order i to get into the city of Indianapolis. I can not see any good reason why a properly limited, bridge right should' not be granted by the county commissioners, in order' to. accommodate their Haughville constitnents." "One pressing argument forsettling these matters this fall instead waiting until spring, is that the building of the Haughville hue will give work to a large number of Unemployed men. It is largely for this reason that the company has undertaken to do a large amount of additional, construction notwithstanding the lateness of the season. The action was taken directly upon the suggestion and order of Messrs.

McKeeand Verner." I The petition tiled with the county commissioner for the right to operate lines by electricity or ether power which imay be in nse in the city, over the Morris street bridge, makes no reference to any limit ol the time during which the company shall have the right. The order, also, drawn by the company. lor the commissioners to adopt makes no reference the time when th right to cross the bridgh shall expire. The clause in the present grant of a right of way, limiting the company's rights according to th charter and ordinances, does not occur in the new order which the commissioners have been asked to make. No record could be found at the commissioners' office this morning showing that specific permission bad been given to nse electricity on the line over the Kentucky avenue bridge.

The company's petition, which was granted in reference to this bridge, asked permission "to extend, construct, maintain and operate a double track street railroad upon, along and across the bridge." Nothing is said about electricity. In regard to the Morris street bridge, the petition was "to build and operate a street railroad, alse lay. tracks and use the bridge." PLANS FOR GIVING WORK. Commercial Club Considerations Comtnitteo'a Report Approved. "At a meeting of th Commercial Club directors a special committee, consisting of II.

U. Hanna, Eli Lilly and Wm Fortune, appointed to consider the employment of rata out of work, made a report. The report speak with emphasis of the fact that th unemployed are pot charity, but wish employment and desire to give the best services that can be given by a moneyless man in1 return for food. Businesslike methods, it says, are necessary in conducting the work of furnishing employment, and it must he done under the direction of an organization which will have the confidence and loyal support of the public, and with whose plans there will be no in terference, for in this undertaking conflicting eflort will inevitably result in confusion, waste and failure. The report says: All plans, all effort may fail in adequately meeting the needs which now exist and may hereaiter arise, but we believe that much may be done to alleviate extreme condition.

Some oi the methods Which we have considered stated erithout details, include (1) the registration of the unemployed in a comprehensive way; 2) Sorts to secure temporary employment lor them through pub. ic contracts and such work as can be provided by citiiens; i3) leniency toward worthy people, who are known to be unable to meet their obligations in building associations, for rent, etc; Hi protection to home laborers from an influx of outside workinamen seeking employment; (5i the establishment, if It becomes necessary, of a p'ace where substantial tood can be bought at a nominal price; 6) improved arrangements for meaical attention to sick poor. This general reoort of the eommiittee was submitted as a basis for proceeiiing with the development of detail of plans if so directed by the board. The report was approved and referred back to the committee, trith power to act as ifmight deem advisable if the committee receives the report it elievt to be essential. "Voted I'art of Their vera!

Emperor William formally opened the lltichstag to day, aud i made a speech of great interest to Germany I and to those in German stluirs. After prayers, the members oi the l'eichstag assembled in the White Hall of the old castle, where the Lniperor, attended by his suite and by the high officials of State and the court officials, soon after entered, and, ascending the dias, he Spoke as follows: Honored Gentlemen When, in July of this year, I asjtnbied yon about in. I gave expression to my Confidence that you would not refuse me and my exalted allies your co operation in giving to our army system, the development demanded in the interest of the empire's security.

1 rejoice that my confidence was not disappointed, and whi.e I welcome Sou on your meeting tc day, I I eel it incum ent upon me to express to toe Reichstag my imperial thank for Its patriotic willingness. Tne maniiold proofs warm ampathy over which 'Vie bav had tcccasion to zeejoic daring the last tew months in ditlerent parts ot th 'empire, are to me a pledge of the great aatia. faction leit by the nation that ti. derma has obtained an organisation in which is to he found a guarantee of protection lor the Fatherland tnd tor the preservation of peace. It will noV be your chief task to make provision, in associated labor with allied governments, tor procuring the means required to meet the increased needs arising out ol the addition made to the peace eilective of the army.

The proposals which will be submitted to you ia this connection rest on the broad foundation involving a fresh settlement of the financial relation of the empire with its TDK FINANCIAL WKCBSSITIBSV The financial administration of the empir baa not yet been finally regulated in the sens of the imtwrial constitution. Experience baa hitherto proved that th settlement between the empire and the individual elates can not be postponed any longer. The financial system of the empire must be built in such a way that while th present fluctuations are ended the empire's demand upon the several state are placed in permanent proportion to the sums payabl by or to the state, and a share fixed 'by lsw in th revenue of th empire itself musts secured to the indiviaual states, for a considerable period. Such arrangement, barracmixiog with the federative form of our state system, will secure the undisturbed co Deration 'of the empire and the several states, and, without impairing the rights of the Reichstag, will 5reatly lacllnate the financial administration, this end a bill will be submitted providing for th rearrangement of the financial system or the empire, and to furnish the funds required under this re'orra. Bills will also be.

presented relating to 'th taxation, of tobacco and win and the levying of imperial stamps due. I have no doubt that your devoted cooperation willsucceeJ in accomplishing this momentous task, and in consideration of the present financial position ot the empire, the Imperial budget has been drawn up with th nt most regard for economy. The expectation, cncrislied at the time of the conclusion of the eommeie al treaties between' th empire and Austria Hungary, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland, that they also would lorm a connecting point for the regulation, by treaty, of our commercial relatir.na withe other states, has since' been full! Jed in so far that we have succeeded in arranging new commercial treaties with Spam. Roumania and Per via on a basis created by those eonventions. Treaties those ecu tries, giving to our trade the desired stability and possibility of prosperous expansion, will be submitted ft four sanction, in accordance with the consti ution.

othix sicistmii or leoislatiom. In accord with my exalted allies I find myself obliged toraisa the Russian import duties to an exceptional degree, and ordinances issued by ma will be immediately communicated to you. I indulge in the hone that the court of the pending negotiations with Russia will lead to the abrogation ot these measures. Thanks to the vigorous efforts of the allied governments, the devastating epidemic, which, in lht 2 claimed heavy and painful sacrifices, has since then been kept at a distance. Where isolated cases occurred a spread ot the dines has been successfully prevented.

To turn to more effectual account experience gained and to make the prevention permanent and uniiorm is the purpose of a bill which will be submitted to you. The accomplishment of the tasks imposed on you in the domain of financial and political economy, make such large demands upon your powers of work tbat the allied governments have deemed it expedient to restrict so far as possible, bills upon other matters. In the relations between Germany and for e'gn oountrlVe there has been no clmnge, while the cloae friendship with the empires allied to us for the purpose of pursuing common, peaceful object continue. We stand on good and friendly relations with all the powers, end therefore, cherish the. confident hope that, with Ood's help, the blessings of peace may still continue to be preserved to us.

CHEKIl.l FOB TUB EMPEKOK. Only about 150 members of the Ileich stag were present at the opening. The members of the Federal Council, headed by Chancellor Von Caprivi, called for three cheers for the Emperor. The latter bowed in reply. The passage in the Emperor's address which related to foreign atluirs was loudly applauded.

At the conclusion of the Emperor's remarks, Chancellor Von Caprivi declared the session of the Reichstag opened, and the ceremony closed with renewed cheers for the Emperor. PEN9IONS FOn VETERANS.
