of the president.

8enator Hoyburn Will Bring Matter
Before Congress.
Washington, Nov. 12. Senator Hoy
burn, of Idaho, purposes to bring beforo
congress (ho lssuo of tho long and short
haul In the form of an amendment to
the Interstate commcrco law preventing
railways fiom charging moro to haul
freight to a point lesi distant than that
to which a lessor rate is charged. The
proposal of Senator Hoyburn will in
volve exactly tbo issue contained in tho
complaint of the Spoknno chamber of
commerce, und if adopted by congress
nnd sustained by tho Supreme court
would snttlo for all time the much
mooted questicn as to preferential rates
for tormliml poldts situated on tldo
water.
Sonator Hcyburn has been giving ex
position of his views lately and has an
nounced his intention to Introduce a
bill of tbo character ouilined.
Since Spokane's complaint has beon
filed hero and tho Interstate Commerco
commission baa given its extensive nd
extended hearings to the caao, other
cltlea, notably throughout tbo South,
havo filed similar ccmplainta, so that
tho commission in deciding the Spo
kane caso really will bo deciding half a
eeoro of other cases. Tho same trans
portation principle is involved in them
all.
It lias beon learned that, not from
inaction, but from desire to give roost
careful consideration to tho case, the
commission has deferred fur bo long a
time its final ruling. It ia generally
recognized that the Spokane case raises
questions which go to tho whole theory
of arbitrary rate adjustment which has
characterized railway management for
many years.
According to the contention of Sena
tor Hoyburn, it is unjust to Spokane,
Iloiso, Salt Lako or any other interior
point to charge it the rate from New
York, for instanco, to Portland, Seattle,
San Francisco or Los ALgoles. plus tho
local distributive rate back to that In
terior point. Ho argues that the inte
rior points are mado to suffer for the
sustainment of tho theory of water baBis
competition, which ho argues is largely
thcoreatical, anyway.
Advices aro coming to Washington
that shippers at Boiso, Salt Lako, Cliey
enno, iiutto, Helena and other intorior
towns are preparing to back up the
measure of the Idaho senator,

Washington, Nov. 10. J. H. Rich

from cabinet members fur the proposal
made by tho American Mining con
gress, of which he is president, for the
creation of a department of mines and

establishment of an additional cabinet

Richards' visit here Ib in pursuanco of

tion. Ho has seen the secretary of the

posnl. Asks for Fortifications.
Washington, Nov. 14. Congress will
bo asked to appropriate $22.000,orj0 for
fortifications at tho approaching ses
sion. Ten millions of thie amount is
intended for insular pofsessionB. The
annual report of Brigadier General Mc
Kouzie, ehlof of army engineers, was
mado public today. It 6ays that in
carrying rut projects outlined by the
nutlonal const defense board, it is pro
posed to spond $4,488,000 in Manila

Production Probably Will Bo Curtailed
This Month.
Clovoland, O., Nov. 11. Reporta
from the building trades reveal Homo
remarkable conditions. Although for
a number of weeks new business has
been reduced to a small volumo, statis
tics of production for tho past month
show that seldom in tho history of the
trado havo such largo tonnages been
turnod out. For example, tho Ameri
can Bridge company, the largest produc
er of structural material, turned out
00,000 tons last month, but sold only
one-third of that amount.
A steel corporation made surprising
records at Pittsburg. The Carnegie
company broke records at ita various
plants. The Illinois Steel company
not only brokn all its previous records
but did sc in every individual depart
ment in all threo works, South Chicago,
Milwaukee and Jollet.
Even moro surprising than all tbeeo
was the blast furnace production for
Oit iber, which, according tc tho statis
tics of the Iron Trade Review reached
a new hitth point In tho history of the
trade, the production being 2,362,630
tons, compared with the largest output,
2,201,030 tons in May of this year. In
other words tho production for October
was at the rate of about 28,000,000 tons
a year.
Tho statistics for November w'll
doubtlees tell a vastly different story.
Many sheet and tin plate mills have
been closed and the sheet bar mills of
tho steel corporation at Columbus and
Bellairo are idle. The corporation now
has 21 blast furnaees out of commission
and independent concerns are curtailing
their product. Hence it may bo confi
dently expected that the output of both
pig iron and finished materials would
be much smaller this month than for
any previous month of the year.
BRAZrL OUTLET FOR JAPAN.
Negotiations Ponaing for Immigration
of 5,000 Annually.
Washington, Nov. 11. Barred from
the United States, Japanese coolies are
turning to Brazil, where, according to
the Brazilian Review, they hope to
gain ready admlesion. This newspaper,
published in Rio de Janeiro, eayj:
"It is reported from Yokohama that
North America and Australia, being
practically closed to the Japanese im
migrants, Japan will now turn its at
tention to Brazil, as a point toward
which ite surplus population shall bo
directed, and that negotiations will be
opened with the Brazilian government
forthwith to arrange for the landing of
6,000 Japanese in that republic every
year. From Milan also comes an an
nouncement to the effect that the Jap
anese government has proposed to the
Italian ambassador at Tokio that the
Navigazione Generate Italiana shall
undertake the transport of these emi
grarts and for that purpose shall estab
lish a new steamship serv'ce from Yo
kohama to Genoa. From Genoa to
Brazil, as is well known, the Naviga
zione uenerale already runs a direct
line. There is said to be no doubt that
the Italian company will establish the
new line, seeing a guarantee for the
transport of 5,000 third-clase passen
gers from Yokohama to Genoa every
year."
NEED STRONGER MEN
Both House and Senate Commit
tees Weak.
MEMBERS CANNOT BE TRUSTED
It Is Feared Their Finance Legislation
Would Be Weak and Favor
Wall Street.
Washington, Nov. 12. The recent
financial disturbance in New York and
the flurry in other parts of tho country
will result in considerable discussion cf
finance at the coming session of con
gress and will produce an unusually
largo number of bills to amend the
banking laws. The subject will bo dis
cussed by the president in his mestage
and the congressional record will be
loaded with all kinds of talk as to tho
advisability of changing the currency
laws of the nation. But the more con
servative men who have viewed the sit
uation in its broadest light believe thero
will bo no financial legislation and in
their judgment the talk will come to
nothing.
If these views prove to bo incorrect
and financial legislation is undertaken,
it will be mo t unfortunate for tbo
country, because the legislation will be
intrusted to two committees which are
not property constituted to handle a"
subject of this importance. The senate
committee is largely composed of men
who are incapable of framing eafe finan
cial legislation or who would take ad
vantage of the situation to put through
legislation ,in the interest of Wall street
rather than in the interest of the entiro
community. The house committee is
made up almost entirely of men who
are incapable of passing judgment upon
a subject of such consequence.
The senate committee on -finance is
constituted as follows: Nelson W.
Aldrich, of Rhode Island; Wi'liarn B.
Allison, of Iowa; JuliuH C. Burrows,
of Michigan; Thomas C. Flatt of New
York; Henry C. Hansbrough, of North
Dakota; Boies Penrose, cf Pennsylva
nia; Eugene Hale, of Maine; John W.
Daniel, of Virginia; 'Hernando D.
Money, of Mississippi; Joseph W.Bail
ey, of Texas; James P. Taliaferro, of
Florida.
The house committee is composed of
the following members: Charles N.
Fowler, of New Jersey: George W.
Prince, of Illinois; WillLiam A. Cal
derbead, of Kansas; Llewellyn Powers,
of Maine; Henry McMorran, of Michi
gan; Capell L. Weems, of Ohio; Elijah
B. Lewis, of Georgia; Areene P. Pujo,

Oscar W. Gillspe, of Texas; Olle M.
