Tho voice of Niagara was mute today, for the seccond timo in tho memory of man, and tho river is frozen solidly from bank to bank. On Wodnesday the worst galo of the season piled the solid icefields of Lake brio in. a huge mass at tho lower end of the lake. At Niagara Falls thoro had been a heavy ico bridge in tho pool below the cataract since tho maddlo of winter. Under tho impact of the ice Tuesday, April 13. Washington, April 13. In the houso tho statement that tho Aldrich amend ments to the Payno bill tend to increase tho duties on luxuries and reduce them on necessities is taken with a grain of salt. Aldrich will make a brief statement to the senate; Thursday, explaining the absence of revenue producing features in the amendments to the house bill. The message from the house asking that the Payne bill be returned for correction of tho petroleum schedule, will bo recolvcd Thursday. In view of the fact, however, that tho bill had been referred to the finance committee. amended and reported back to the sen ate, it is not likely that the bill will be permitted to go back to the house, Senate leaders take tho position that there is no necessity for the return of tho bill to tho bouse, as the finance committee intends to offer amendments to tho petroleum schedule that will efface tho error.

Commerce Commission's Estimate ef Loss by Panic Wrong. Chicago, April 13. An advance ab stract of statistics of American rail ways for the year ending Jan 9, 1908. as compiled by the bureau ec railway news and statistics, was rade public here today. It says: "Instead of a decrease of only $164,- 464,941 in gross earnings as the resalt of the temporary financial depression of 1907-08, as set forth in the prelimi nary income report of the Interstate Commerce commission for the year ending June 30, 1908, the panic of 1907 resulted in a loss of more than $330.- 000,000. The loss in net earnings ia $129,540,460, instead of $111,051,006, as given in the commission's report. "The two-cent passenger fare legis lation caused a loss pf $25,000,000 in gross earnings, although more passen gers were carried. The heavy loss in net earnings is partly accounted for by the expenditure of approximately $32,- 000,000 necessitated by arbitrary inno vations in accounting methods and re quirements in regard to the hours a4 conditions of labor," r ranee 13 noiDea or uiscontent on Part of Laboring Class. fans, April 12.
