THE GANAL ARTIOLE ADOPTED.
The Home Rule For ‘Clties Amend-nut
Goes Through Amid the fine-rs of the
Minority—Tallulah: Brian Up the Anti-
pool Bailing Bill.
_ AsaasY, Sept. 21.-—'1‘bo consideration
of the canal amendment was taken up in
the constitutional convontion after recess
and discussed The vote was taken and
resulted—year, 98; trays, 29. The section
as adopted reads as follows:
“The prohibition of lease. sale or other
disposition herein contained shall not sp-
ply to the canal known as the 'Main and
Hamburg canal.’ situated in the city of
Buffalo, and which extends easterly from
the westerly line of Main street to the
westerly line of Hamburg street. All
funds that may be derived from any loose.
sale or other disposition of any canal shall
be applied to the superintendence and re-
pairs of the canals." "
The second canal aniendment provides
for striking out all of the prolvsions of
the present canal section of the constitu-
tion, and inserts a simple proposition to
prohibit collection of tells, and allows
the legislature to levy taxes for the care
and maintenance of the canals.
No toils shall hereafter be imposed on
persons or property transported on the
canals. but all boats navigating the ca-
aals and the owners and masters thereof
shall be subject to such laws and regula-
tions as have been or may hereafter be en-
acted concerning the navigation of the
canals The legislature shall annually by
equitable taxes make provision for thoex-
pauses of the superintendence and repairs
of the canals.
Contracts For Canal Work.
The canals may be improved in such
manner as the legislature shall provide
by law. A debt may be authorized for
that purpose in the mode prescribed by
other sections. or the cost oi such improve.
meats may be defrayed by the approprlw
tlon of funds from the state treasury or
by equitable annual tax.
All contracts for work or nmterluls on
any canal shall be made with the person
who shall offer to do or provide the same
at the lowest price, with adequate security
for their performance. No extra compen-
sation shall he made to any contractor,
but if from any unforeseen cause the
terms of any contract shall prove to be
unjuat and oppressive the canal board
may, upon the application of the contract»
or. cancel such contract.
Mr. Voddor moved to further amend by
providing that the bonds issued may run
for 30 years. Mr. linker moved to around
so as to prohibit the state from discrim-
inating on Canadian tolls. Mr. Nichols
moved to amend Judge (lady’s amend-
ment by striking out the provision for an-
nual improvement.
Mr. Cody's and Mr. Baker‘s amend
rm-nts were adopted and the others defeat-
ed. The amendment was [leased by a Vote

were required to pass it. The vote they

Loaves. Sept. 2i.—A dispatch from
Shanghai describing the battle of the Yalu
says it is stated that the two Chinese ves-
sels which grounded were literally batter:
ed to pieces as they lay on the bank. The
bridge of one of the ships was struck at
the commencement of the action by a
shell and carried away. The crews of
both vessels fought desperately. but could
do little against the shower of projectiles
of all sorts that was rained upon them.
When many of their number had been
killed. the survivors on one ship attempt-
ed to leave the vessel. when a couple of
shells burst simultaneously on the crowd-
ed dock, covering it with dead and
wounded.
The Chen Yuan had her lighting top
carried away. in fact. everything above
the deck level that could be smashed was
destroyed. One of her barabotte turrets
containing a powerful 12 inch Krupp gun
was wrecked and the gun disabled. A
shell exploded in her engine room. with:
out, however, preventing the engines
from being worked.
The Chen Yuen, seeing the determined
advance of the Japanese. boldly wont to
meet them and sought to break their
formation by attacking simultaneously
two of their largest cruisers to force them
to an alter their course as to impede the
other vessels following.
The other Chinese vessels came into ac—
tion after the Chen Yucn. but the attempt
to break the Japanese fighting line was
only partially sucooasful, and any advance
which might have resulted was more than
neputivod by two of the Chinese ships
running aground.
Fighting Was Fierce.
All the vessels suffered heavily. Bat-
tered turrets and armor plates, perforated
unarinorcd hulls, broken masts, riddled
shields and torn decks showed too plainly
how severe the struggle must have been.
and the number of killed and wounded
testifies alike to tho stubbornness of the
contest and tho doudlinoss and precision
of modorn weapons.
In both fleets the crews fought their
hardest. handling their guns well, and
though the firing was inclined to be wild
at times it was astonishing how few pr0<
portiouully of the shots failed to strike
homo. .
The .lupanuse are known to have suffer-
ed quite as illllf'h as the Chinese. Though
they claim the victory. the fact remains
that Yokohama dispatches admit that
they had to retire. impartial judges here
[are inclined to look upon it as a drawn
battle in favor of the (.‘hlnese.
