OPPOSITION TO IT IN PRESENT FORM fSTsr Grullsg Any Rensonnble Con cession to Tabor Interareaa, bat Proposed Croat to Volt Uu la la Disfavor. Mayor Morgan yesterday Issued a call for a special meeting of tha committee of the v-hc-le of tha city council for this even ing to take up and discuss tha ordinance granting a franchise to the Interurban Ter minal and Belt Una company. There seems little chance of tha ordinance In Its present shape being approved by tho aldermen, as several of them have expressed themselves as being unalterably opposed to granting any corporation a practical monopoly of all the streets In tho city. If tho Tabor electrlo lino desires to enter Council Bluffs and makes a bona fide prop osition, It certainly should be encouraged. but I for one am opposed to granting any corporation the right to practically monopo Use any or all of our streets. According to tho ordinance now before the city council It would, if passed and approved by the peo ple at a special election give the proposed Interurban company to all Intents and pur poses a nine years' option on all of tho streets of the city, to the prscticai exciu slon of all other companiea," is tha ex pressed view of tho proposed ordinance by one of the aldermen who are opposea to u In its present form. Section Faar To Broad. dne feature of the ordinance which tin doubtedly will meet with tho greatest op position, according to statements of several members of tho city council, is thai oesig nated aa "subdivision i." In designating the streets which the company asks to bo permitted to occupy for Us belt lino the or dinance divides tho list into three sun divisions. Division 4, however, Is a blanket grant to practically any or all of tha streeta of the city. It reads as follows: Such other streets aa the said company shall from time to time select and desig nate to the city council by alxty days notice In writing irom me prolix e ... nmnanv in the selection of which the said city council shall give its consent and authority. The section. It Is contended, gives the city no option In the premises, but compels It to grant away any or all of the atreets of the city to tha company provided tha company so selects after giving tho city sixty daya' fitlce. , That the aldermen are ready to assist the Tabor line to enter 'Council Bluffs there is no question, but several of them are op poaed to tha proposition of a belt line at this time. Thoae oppoaed to tho belt lino proposition say that If the Tabor company seeks to enter Council Bluffs It should apply Itself for a franchise and not through an other corporation aald to bo auxiliary to It. The Interurban Terminal and Belt Line company haa not yet been Incorporated and the only information the members of tho city council state they have In regard to It is that It will be composed of men closely ldntlfled with the Tabor lino. There la a suspicion In the minds of sev eral of the alderman that the company Is waiting to secure vsluable assets In the nature of tho proposed franchise before In corporating and that unless tho franchise sought Is granted tho company will never get as far as Incorporating. The Council Bluffa, Tabor ft Southern Electric Railway company has been Incor porated in Fremont county and its articles of Incorporation have been filed with tha secretary of state. Its capital stock Is placed at $300,000. ' . . a to Pacific Junction, wnere mey secur work In a grading camp.

The second occurred about four . hours later In a building In course of erection at Broadway and Forty-third atreet. The con cussion roused the residents of hotels and dwellings within a radlua of several blocks. The explosion resulted In some slight dam age to a hoisting engine and the breaking of a rear window In an adjacent hotel. The explosive, which Is believed to have been a dynamite bomb, was apparently placed cloae to the engine and Ignited by means ot a time fuse, a fragment of which was found near by.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-When the sen ate convened today Mr. Bailey (Tex.) spoke on the Cuban bill. He opposed the meas ure, declaring It to be vicious both as a matter of law and of policy. In the course of a colloquy with Mr. Stew art, Mr. Bailey said that the president be lieved Just aa the Nevada senator did. "Then he is a good lawyer," responded Senator Stewart. "I never heard that he was a lawyer at all," mswered Mr. Bailey. "While I have heard that he spent some days and nights at literature I waa not aware that he has encountered the drudgery of the law and more's the pity for It." ' He declared that the course followed in this treaty had been an Insolent usurpation of the privileges of the house, ' The proceeding, ha declared, amounted to moral and political coercion, and It la a matter of little wonder that the house did not substitute for the present measure ths bill which It passed under Independent ac tion less than two years ago. Why did the house forego Its independent Judgment of less than two years ago? he asked. Why did It so mildly execute the president's will? It was because the house was under ths stripes of the legislative lash. Mr. Baftey said that the first argument advanced In support of the bill waa that It was a duty to the suffering Cubans, but driven from the friends of the bill say that It Is a great commercial stroke. Berth Sides Are Hen est. "But." said Mr. Bailey. "I any those who win reap ths benefits are tho sugar and tobacco trusts, and they have no tight to It. I believe the republican senators axe hon est In their support. In fact, I do not think there Is any difference between the two sides of this chamber on questions of hon esty. I believe the sole difference is one of Intelligence." Senator Spooner observed: "You pay us a high compliment." In discussing the benefits of the bill, Mr. Bailey said that every time the bill was about to pass sugar stock went up and whenever the bill waa about to fall the stock went down. Mr. Bailey announced- at 1:45 that owing to the condition of hla throat he would not continue hla speech until tomorrow. Mr. Depew remarked that many speeches against the bill had contained statements that the Industries of four or five great states were In danger of being destroyed by reason of competition with Cuba. Cuba was only half as large as the state of New Tork and It stood to reason that such a territory could not work absolute disaster to the states making the complaint. Mr, Teller replied that Cuba was capable of supporting a population of 15,000,000, that New Tork had bnly 7,000.000 and was not capable of supporting that number. Senator Lodge said he had been looking up the matter of Cuban laws relative to ths immigration of Chinese, and had been In formed by the Cuban minister that tho is- fautd had adopted the exemsran btw of th country on that nbject. ' At 4:10 o'clock, no Bwnator dealiinjr to speak on the hill, the ornate went Into ex ecutive session and at 4.-45 adjnurnrd.
