Introduced in the sen ate a drastic bill limiting the use ct campaign tunda in presidential and congressional elections. It forbids any person, firm, corporation, association committee or any officer thereof to send moneys from one state to an other tor the purpose of influencing elections. Such general prohibition, however, is not provided against poli tical committees, the bill specifying: "The national committees of politi cal parties may make payments for ex penses of campaign speakers, trans portation, hotel bills, expenses for the dissemination of campaign literature and advertising."

Herrick, American am bassador to France. Ambassador Herrick outlined brief ly the bond issue plan which he re commended for adoption by this coun try. The system, be explained, con sisted of an association of small state or land banks, whose sole Dual nets was the Issuance and guarantee of bonds secure by farm lands. These bonds have no fixed date for retire ment, but their average is 30 to 75 years. The Interest on the bonds av erages three per cent a year, exclus ive of the cost of the bond issuance, e Assay Offices to Close. The house voted to close assay of fices at Boise, Helena and Carson on June 30 next The legislative appro priation bill omitted these offices and when Representative French offered an amendment restoring regular ap propriations for all three of them, the solid Democratic side voted "no" and the amendment was defeated. The house granted a new lease on Ufe to the Seattle assay office, which gets the usual appropriation of (13,050.

The measure asked for by the inter state commerce commission would provide for a far reaching Inquiry, with the view of having railroad rates fixed on the basis of income on actual investment Democrats to Block Appointments. Preparations for the proposed move ment by Democratic leaders In the senate to block the confirmation of the majority of President Taft's ap pointments to office to be made dur ing the last few months of his admin istration, are under way here.

The prospects of a satis factory and reasonably rapid settle ment of the Balkan war and of the greater European .interests hanging upon it seem brighter than at any time since the allied armies took the field against Turkey. The envoys from the Balkan kingdoms and the Ottoman empire, will hold the first meeting of the peace conference next Friday, Dec. 13th. At the same time the ambassadors of the great powers in London charg ed with the task of protecting the in terests of their countries will meet as a Bort of court of appeals to watch, advise and admonish the peace dele gates. This will be by far the most Import ant assembly of diplomats since the Berlin conference of the Russo-Turk-ish war. Giants like Bismarck, Bea consfield, Salisbury and Gortchakoff, to be sure, will not tread the stage, but their successors who go will have an equally important work to perform.
