B. W. W. IX THE HOUSE. Dill Introduced Xott Xamher 30O Seven More Are Passed. OLYMPIA, Feb. 9. (Staff correspond ence.) The number of new bills intro duced In the House passed the S00 mark today, and the House also established a new record for the session by passing seven bills and defeating the passage of another. The railroad commission bill, which was at the head of the calendar, wis made a special order for 2 o'clock Wednesday, thus carrying out the pro gramme for giving tho Senate the first chance at the bill. An unsuccessful ef fort was made by the friends of the bill to have It made a special order for to morrow, but this move was defeated by a vote of 56 to 32. -The House met at 3 o'clock and after routine preliminaries Gleason of King moved for a reconsideration of the vote on the emergency clause to his street assessment bill, which was passed last Friday. It corrled today by practically a unanimous tyotc. A House Joint resolu tion by Llndsley of Spokane Inviting President Roosevelt to visit the State of Washington on his projected Western tour wis adopted. Roth of Whatcom Introduced a resolu tion stating that the question of a rail road and tax commission having for Its object the equal and Just Imposition of taxes on railroad and other corporate property, was now pending before the Legislature, and that as the power of the Legislature to impose taxes was limited, it is desirable that an opinion of the Attorney-General on the mitter be secured. The resolution asks that the Attorney General, furnish at his earliest conven ience a written opinion as to the power of the Legislature respecting such taxa tion. Flrnf nrhpthpp n nll . commission can be clothed with any great er power than the fixing of the valuation of property for the purposes of assess ments In regard to taxation. .second, whether or not the prescribing of a fixed valuation by a state commis sion upon such corporate property to the local authorities as a basis for the levy for local revenue would be In violation oi arucie u, section 12, or article 9, sec tion 7 of the state constitution, and whether such valuation could be made mandatory upon the local assessment dis tricts for local taxing purposes. The resolution was adopted. Committee reports on a number of bills were received, among the more Important ones being that on the anti-pass bill. As stated Saturday, the committee on privileges and elections split even regard ing its merits, one of thetr'members be ing: absent.

CUT DOWN MEMBERSHIP British Government Claims Ireland Has More Votes Than Her Share. NEW YORK. Feb7"9.-The government has determined to reduce Ireland's repre sentation in Parliament, says the Trib une's London correspondent. The govern ment's hands will be quite full this year with Irish land and London education, and it may be taken for granted that the re distribution scheme is to be the chief measure of 1901. On the basis of the pres ent population England has 35 members too few, Scotland three too many and Ire land 33 too many. There are 103 Irish seats In the Commons today, and It Is an open secret that the government Intends to reduce this number to S5 or less. The Nationalists argue that, as the act of union gave Ireland 100 members the Im perial Parliament has no right to reduce this representation. When the act passed the population of Ireland was XOOOOOO about half that of Great Britain. Today the population is 4.434.000, or a little moro than one-ninth that of Great Britain.

The bond fcwue of J400.000 to build the bridge will cost the city approx imately 118,030 annually In Interest. The Bridge Commission Is to enter Into con tract with the companies. The charge of J1S.0OO on the City & Sub urban Railway Company was regarded a: pretty high by several members of the Legislature. However, the franchise of that company will end In about 12 years and the grant of a new franch!e for or 30 yeam the delegation thought would compensate. The subject was long debated. Some memters thought a flat rate of- 5 cents per car was sufficient, but others overbore them, arguing that the companies might run tew, large cars, and thus cut down the revenue to the city. The Important purpose was to get the Interest charges covered by revenue so that the new bridge wouia se self sustaining. A motion was carried for a special elec tion on the question whether to Issue the bonds, but this action was reminded on account of the cost of a .modal election. The committee which will draft the amendments to the bill is composed of Malarkey. Cobb and Sweek. Men who are likely to be -appointed to the Bridge Com mission are: w. L. Boise, R, L. Gllsan, W. B. Ayer. Herman Wittenberg and N. J. Blagen. The forenamcd committee will report to the delegation Thursday night. The delegation Id of one opinion: That the bridge must be rebuilt, at most within two or three years. The members arguo that the renewal will be a good Invest ment because of the high cast of main tenance of the present structure, and be cause or the large revenue that can be derived from the new bridge. They will see to It that all companies will have equal opportunity to use the new bridge. Port of Portland Commission. The delegation has two bills before It for the reorganization of the Port of Port land. One of these was drawn by. Ellis G. Hughes. It provides for a change In the personnel ot the commission, the members of which are to be elected by me legislature. This board Is to fill vacancies that may occur in its personnel until the next Legislature. The second bill was drafted by the State Federation of Labor. By It the Legislature Is to elect a new commission, whose nowers are to be centralized In a responsible head. This bill is up for third readinir. Tho other Din Has not been introduced. Several members of the delegation manifest a de sire to appoint a new commission. Bill for Comity Advertising-. Consideration of the bill for county ad vertising, introduced by Mr. Hodron. was put off until Thursday. Mr. Malarkey .gave notice that he would introduce a bill to extend the Bancroft bonding net to sidewalks. A letter from Samuel Connell urged the need of a lanrcr ferrv at Alblna. The Scllwood ferry was not discussed. A petition from several members of the Portland Council asked for a general law whereby cities of over 10,000 people could regulate and license gambllnc. The dele gation resolved not to act on the petition. Will Aot RecommentI Harris Bill. The taxation committees of the two houses tonight resolved to report without recommendation the Harris bill for as sessment and taxation of express, tele graph, telephone, railroad, sleeping car, refrigerator car. and oil comnanles. Thev further resolved to recommend passage of the Nottingham bill for a state tax com mission to examine and report to the next Legislature on matters of assessment and taxation, and also passage of the Phelps bill for a naw system of assessment and collection of taxes. The Harris bill follows the Ohio law. and alms to tax Intangible assets. It creates a state board of appraisers, who are to assess such property. Tho total assessment of each corporation Is to be epportlored among: the counties In which It does business, and the tax Is to be col lected in the regular manner. A bill al most similar was Introduced by Mr. Davey. The committees considered for a number of days a bill to tax the gross receipts of corporations ltj per cent, but gave up the matter on the opinion of the Attorney- General that a bill along those lines would be unconstitutional. The appraisers are to be the Secretary of State, State Treas urer and Attorney-General. The .Nottingham bill for a tax commis sion vests the appointment In the Gov ernor. The Phelps bill provides for pay ment or taxes before December 31 or in two payments, the second before the first Monday In April. Tax levies are to be made before September. A rebate of 2 per cent Is to be allowed on taxes paid before December 31. Thirty days after delin quency the penalty Is to be 5 per cent, and interest Is to be charged at 12 per cent. These bills are very likely to pass. FAVORITE IS SHUT OUT. Gold Van Suffers From Bad Riding Jockey Blrkenruth Suspended. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9.

THE OLD RELIABLE POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE XEW BASEBALL LEAGUE. Southwestern Washington Teams Or. Kanizcd for Coming- Season. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb7 9. (SpeclaL) The organization of the Southwest Wash ington Baseball League was consum mated in this city last evening, when rep resentatives from the cities of Hoquiam. Aberdeen. Centralia and Olympla met and adopted a constitution and by-laws and signed articles of agreement. Each city put up a forfeit of C50 to guarantee that the entire season would be finished. Olympla was represented by C. W. Grant, Hoquiam and Aberdeen by A. W. Gregg, and Centitlla by Jesse Latshaw, who will probably be elected by their re spective clubs as members of the board of directors of the league. These gentle men have all had experience in baseball In former years, and will endeavor to make the league a success In every way. Each club now has Its team 'organization well under way, and the managers are hustling to get the best material to fill up the ranks. Olympla reports having all but two ot Its team already signed, and Aber deen and Hoquiam will have practically the same teams as played In those cities last year. Centralia has a number of good men signed, and is In correspondence with others. The league will be organized along the same lines as the Pacific North west League, i8 near as possible, and the towns in the league will recognize the contracts of the other members, so that It will be impossible for one team to steal the players, of another. Captain Will Manage Spokane Team. SPOKANE. Wash.. Feb. 9. It is learned that the Spokane baseball team will iiave no manager for the ccmlng year.

It Is probable that the new field will be put In shape for work this year, although the grounds at Natatorlum Park will be used for Sunday games, as they have al ready leased this park.
