Senator Millard Introduced today a bill making Omaha a general depot for the quartermaster's department of the army and appropriating $60,000 for carrying the same Into effect There has been con siderable agitation lately along the linos of the proposed measure, a number of lead-'-s-wifm oltlsens of Omaha having written let- (era to Senator Millard urging! that the de partment depot In that city be made a a-uneral dopot In view of Its railroad fa culties and the number of nearby gar risons which could be immediately supplied from Omaha, Owing to the lateness of the esalon it ia extremely doubtful If the bill will receive consideration, although Quartermaster General Humphrey has fa vored the project for years. Senate Hears Railroaders. The senate committee on territories today had under consideration Senator Dietrich's bill granting a charter to the Transalaaka Railroad company to build a road from Yaldea to Eagle City, Alaska. Senator Dietrich presented the reasons why the raeaaure should be passed and referred to several amendments , to the bill regarding the guarantee of bonds by the govern ment to conform to legislation recently enacted.

It la expected that Chairman Beverldne of the senate committee will appoint a sub committee to consider the several bill granting charters to prospective railroad companies, but the chances of legislation are not roseate. Fight oa Bridge Bill. Senator Millard Is more than ever dc tcrmlned that the bill permitting a new bridge to be built across the Missouri at Omaha shall not be passed, even though the contention is that both ends of the structure will be on Iowa soil. He will make use of the statement of Mr. Wads worth before the city council of Council Bluffs, wherein the latter stated that there was no money back of the project at pres ent, but as soon as a charter was given to construct the bridge he would guaran tee money enough to construct the bridge James E.
