Senate said that the resolution was brought into the Senate Monday afternoon with this indormenient on the back "amended and passed" that when he attmrwaril examined the resolution he found that there was no amendment to It He called the attention of Speaker Ewing to this fact They then carefullly examined the teeolution to diecover whether or not the body of the resolution had been altered in conformity with the amendment and found nothing of that sort They then supposed that the indorsement was placed upon it by niletake and the resolution was signed by Mr Ewing in Butt shape Speaker Clapp the next day signed it as did the tiovernor Speaker Clapp states that the House heard nothing more of the roolution after it was amended The disappearance of the amendment whose importance its mover emphasized is exceedingly hrifortimate It is to be said regarding Mr ilurney's connection with the subject ofpublic printing that as Chairman of the Conimittee on PubliOrinting he had given a great deal of attention to the matter and had prepared an independent resolution embodying the same provisions contained in the amendment above referred to which resolution passed the House but was ne'ver acted oti in the Senate When the Senate resolution came before the House Mr Burney saw the opportunity of getting in the substance of his original resolution in the form of an amendment which

appointment of the Appropriation Conference Committee which has excited comment in some qitartere Mr Clapp said: "In the forenoon of Monday I aot)ointed a Committee of Conference on the Revenue bill Col Eavage was Chairman of that committee When I returned to the afternoon session I was notified by Mr Wade that the Senate had returned the Appropriation bill to the House and asked for a conference Immediately I appointed that committee When the announcement was made that the Senate had returned the bill with the requeet for a conference quite a number of Representatives came to me and suggested as to who should be on that committee I refilled to appoint any man who had occupied either extreme but uudertook to select only those who had been conservntive throughout the entire consideration of the measure men who occupied a middle grouud Mr Fort did not ask to be appointed and was chosen by me because he bad not spoken on the appropriation of the $500 for the traveling expenses of Mr Smith nor for the appropriation for Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture but had spoken in favor of allowing the Commissioner $5000 when an attempt bad been made to cut it down to $3500 This amendment to make It $5000 was offered by Mr Ligon Mr Fort did not ask for the appointment of a single member of the committee We only had a few hours before final adjournment and I of course wanted the appropriation bill to pass so as to avoid an extra session I myself had voted straight along to sustain both the Revenue and Appropriation bills as reported by the Finance Committee and had voted to allow $500 for the traveling expenses of the Superintendent of Education If I had been going to "stock" the committee I would certainly have selected only men who believed as I did I appointed Mr Irwin at his request as he told me he desired to procure the allowance of a claim of $2S0 of one of his constituents which had twice been allowed by the House" SOCIETY Arkangas State Debt LIMA RoCK

relent certified lattoq or unte ot the LEGISLATIVE NOTES To The American: About a year ago several gentlemen of Pittsburg and Wheeling becomingintereeted through Mr Hillman of this city in the natural gas probabilities of Middle Tennessee it was determined to form a company for the eyetematic and thorough search for gas in the vicinity of Nashville Tbe company was formed and duly incorporated but owing to the legal inability of tho city to give such encouragement as was deemed necessary to repay the great risk of the Venture the undertaking came to naught and gradually It ceased to be a matter of thought or care whether we had the gas near us or not Thus matters stood for nearly a year when some of those interested in the former organization enteredinto correspondence with the gas men of Pennsylvania and West Virginia asking them to again enter the search with their skill aided by the money of a strong body of local capitalists in Nashville at the same tline setting on foot measures for the passage of a bill through the Legislature amending the charter of the city of Nashville giving it the power to grant certain rights and immunities to a company engaged in the search for natural gas whereby the said company would be encouraged to proceed as rapidly as possible with the task This amendment was passed almost unanimously by both houses of the Legislature and received the signature of the tiovernor thus becoming a law In its passage much was done to hinder and retard it to change and vitiate it by certain parties interested in its defeat but it safely passed the dangers attendant upon the birth of all things good and now tbe city has the right to aid and encourage an enterprise calculated to do more good to Nashville than all the other things it has ever known combined This risking of money in an untried field is surely deserving of aid and those who were the first in the movement surely deserve to be first thought of in the granting of what- ever rights may be necessary to secure this boon It however remains to be seen whether the machinations of those whose interests are supposed to be antagonized by natural gas shall outweigh the great interests at stake and prevent the attempt being made to find it In the organization of this company there has been shown the greatest liberality no one being denied its stock who in good faith wished to risk his money in the sinking of experimental wells in various parts of Central Tennessee If the gas be not found this money so sunk will surely remain sunk forever It Is a venture offering great gain to the whole community without a chance to lose a cent while to those interested it holds out the risk of losing all put in Verily should it not be encouraged by all who hold any sentiment of interest In the growth of Nashville? The expert in whose care wM be placed the sinking of the wells is a man of national reputation in the business thus lessening in so far as it can be done the risk of loos the foolish waste of money in places not likely to yield gas while it Increase the rapidity of the consummation of the work a thousand fold In conclusion it will be sufficient to say that this company in appearing before the city and asking privileges legally within the power of the city to grant does so as an honest corporation with honest purposes and as such it should' be met and couraged To others getting up companies with purposes of an opposite nature the city should cry with a loud voice hands off and see to it that they be kept off To others honestly getting up companies we would say join these gentlemen and reap the bone-fit of their work an honeet straightforward manner PROGRESS ISI6m1ng Thousands NEW YORK March World will say to-morrow: Financial circles are exerCiSed over the report that e650000 of toe Tunis of the Ilcirn Silver Mining Company In which Allen Washington is interested have disappeared The story runs that Culver and Washington are now trying to find where the money has gone They are
