Harrisburg, Jan. 30. Senator Giady's

to libel and Us punishments, was
passed by the senate today by a oto j
of 2tl to IP, after considerable debate.
"When the bill was called up In Its ,
regular order on tho calendar, Mr.
Grady asked that It go over for tho
time being. Ho gave no reason. Later
on, h? Interrupted the second rending
of bills and called up bU measure. Mr.
Grady gave what he called a history of
the libel law. He said that under the
constitution tho law was quite liberal.
Injuries' were done under tho old law
and many suits were brought, but the
public knew very little how such things
were sottled. The press of the stale
was not unanimous for tho Act of 1&!'7.
believing that the old law wns a better
one for the newspapers and the public.
The present net, Mr. Grady said, was
Inadequate for tb reason that few. If
any, persons have been criminally or
ivilly convicted for violation of the
law.
Senator Grady then read Hrpicseu
tative Cooper's statement. In which ho
said he was opposed to the repealing
of tho law. because it would make op
erative laws passed n geneiatlou ago,
and characterized Mr. r'oopei's pos'tloii
as ridiculous. Senator Sprout, of Dcbi
wai opposed the repeal of the law
until something better is offc-ed.
Senator Foeht, Union, woh U fi news
paper proprietor, ns is alo Mr. Sprout,
aid that he wn heartily In favor of
the repeal bill. He maintained that
the exhibition of "eertuln crnporatloii
newspapers" In Philadelphia, bi hound
ing men and blackening their Ciiaiuo
ters, was 11 disgrace. Ilf also thought
the present law Inadequate bccnix- no
man ran recover until be can prove
damage done.
Senator Flinu questioned if ony man

There was considerable debate upon
proposed amendments to the senate bill
allowing corporations to Increase their
capital stock and Indebtedness. This Is I
svnat is known as the Pennsylvania
bill and Is Intended to permit that cor
poration to Increase its capitU stock
to $100,000,000. Mr. Creasy, of Colum
bia, offcied an amendment to the third
section, ptovldlng that tho return of
me increnso to tlie secretary of tho
commonwealth should show tlw terms
upon which tho additional stock Is
Issued. Mr. Cooper, of Delaware, sug
gested that this amendment was super
fluous, Inasmuch us the entlmbili was
Intended to make clear tho purpose of
the Increase. He aid Jt was well
known that the Pennsylvania ltnllroad
company desired to act under this bill
and that this grent corporation would
not go beyond iti needs In tho matter
of Increasing Its capital stock. Tho In
creasing demand upon tho great rail
road lines grossing out of the export
tiade, especially In tho matter of coal
and steel and Iron, made necessary this
proposed Increase. Ho at sued that the

dition to the bonus should be Imposed
for any omission or nejjle.-t to mako a
mturn of the Increase 'to seoietnry of

Mr. nedford, of Philadelphia, wanted
to further amend by providing that a
bonus of one-tlilr I of one per cent,
should be paid on the actual Increase,
ns shown by tho return. He said that
Inasmuch ns tho supporters of the bill
had practically conceded that this was
a proper bonus there was no reason
why it should not bo Inserted In tho

"Washington, .Tun. "0, A conference
of Democrats and their associates of
tlie Populist and Silver Hcpubllcnn
faith, svill b" held (omoirow as a re
sult of the declaration yesterday by
Mr. I'rye that be Intended to push the
consideration of the ship subsidy bill
to the exclusion of nil other businofr'?.
iobUng only to a vote of the sen
ate. This conference will p termlne tho
fate of the bill. If the opponents of
the measure decide to continue a stiff
fight and dobaa the bill at great
length, It will me,m defeat in this ses
sion, with tho short time remaining
to pass tho appropriation bills. Tho
conffiicnce also will take into consid
eration tlie micstlou whether the mi
nority will desire to tako tho respon
sibility of defeating n parly measure
of the majority. tJoine ot the oppo
nents of the bill 011 the Democratic
i-lde feel that If the Itupublleans are
determined to pass the bill, the minor
ity should not s' further tlmn to state
their objections fully mid vote ngains:
It. nnd to let the Republicans take tlie
l'-tponilblllty which Is theirs.
It also develops that no one wants
an extra session and that one will
bo avoided If there Is any possible
way of doing so. It Is even said that
the Hpooner bill will bo passed in or
der to avoid such session as tho -1th
of March. Republican leaders say
that they believe 1111 extra seaslon can
bo avoided. They also say that the
Democrats must decide whether they
will take tho responsibility of defeating
the subsidy bill, and If It Is demon
strated that they are willing to tako
that responsibility, then other neces
sary legislation will be pressed rapidly
to avoid an extra session.

Anti-Polygamy Crusade Extends to
the Agricultural Appropriation Bill
in the House Mr. King's Fight to
Head off an Amendmont Against!
tho Utah Citizens Who Practice
Polygamy The Friends of the Far
mer iu Evidence.
By Txcluilvo Wire fiom The Aswiclaled 1'ieM.
Washington, Jan. SO. Tho shipplnH
bill was kept at tho front In tho senatn
through today. No appreciable pro
gress wns made, most of the time be
ing occupied by Mr. Turlcy, of Ten
nessee, and Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, In
speeches opposing tho bill and severely
arraigning Its nllegod favoritism. Mr.
Jones declared It should be entitled a
bill to permit a select coterie of shlp
osvners to loot tho United States treas
ury. After the speeches tho formal read
ing of tho bill was completed, but the
consideration of amendments was not
entered upon. L'arly In tho day an un
successful effort was made to secutc an
agreement to the confcienco repot t on
the army reorganization bill.
Tho nntl-polygamy crusade, which
resulted iu drMtig Mr, Roberts, Utah's
representative, from his seat at tho last
session, had an echo In tho house to
day, during tho consideration of the
agricultural appropriation bill. When
Ihc section making the appropriation
for agricultural colleges of tho several
states was reached. Mr. Landls, of In
diana, offered nn amendment provid
ing that iu money should bo paid to
the collego In Utah until the pecretary
of agriculture waa satlsllcd that no
tiusteo or teacher In the Institution
practiced polygamy. The Intendment
came as a complete surprise. Mr. King,
who iiiireec-dedi Mr. Robot tH, tiled In
v.iln to bend It off with a point of
order and then inveighed against It as
simply an aflermath of the Roberts
crusade. Ho Insisted that polygamy
was a thing of tho past. Mr. Landls
replied by alleging that two of tho pro
fessois of the Utah Agricultural col
lege svere polyg.imlsts and that one ot
the trustees had seven wives and
thlrty-nlnii children. Upon this show
ing the house adopted tho amendment,
wlieieupon Mr. King retaliated by
offering an amendment providing that
none ot the money should go to agri
cultural colleges In any statu whose In
structors or trustees huvo engaged In
lynching or been guilty of adultery or
fornication. He aftcrsvards modified It
so an to apply only to tho agricultural
college of Indiana. It ss'iis, of course,
overwhelmingly defeated. Subsequent
ly, when tho bill "nus reported to tlm
house, the Landls amendment was
stricken out by a vote of CO to 10. The
"friends of tho farmer" seio very
much In evidence during tho duy and
against an aggressive opposition led by
Mr. Mahon, of Pennsylvania, voted Into
the bill nn additional apptoprlation of
$5,000 for "farmers' bulletins." Thero
was also considerables discussion of tho
question of tlie Irrigation of tho aild
lands In connection with the paragraph
providing for an Investigation ot thai
subject. The bill passed.
