iWe are in receipt of a circular from
the New York Reform Club, in blch
that body asserts its intention to "con
tinue the fight for 'honest money' un
til the ranks of the free; silver forces,
are sotoin that they , will- not! be a
barrier to industry and prosperity,"
. . The club does not outline its methods
of operation, but it is presumed it will
rely on the certain., system of produc
ing thinness by enforcing low wages,
declining prices, high taxes, extrava
. gant appropriations for enriching pro
. fessional politicians, .by. encouraging
railroad pools in order to keep freight
and passenger rates at the highest pos
sible notch, by fostering trusts and
combines, and repressing labor organf-
zatfons as j being -in, "contempt of
. court," by giving to the' banks the
' control of all circulating medium and
then looting the banks, by calling in
: all paper money that does not pay in
tereat and substituting therefor inter-.
est-bearing bonds; in short" by con-
; tinuing the admirable systems- that
have produced the times we are now
enjoying.
This plan would be most certain to
produce the desired.; result. If it is

INTEREST ON PUBLIC DEBTS.
, Financial reports published in the
"-leading trade journals show a vast ac-
: cumulation of money in ..the great
wealth centers '' seeking safe invest
ment in securities that promise a cer
tain return of a low rate of interest
This is true not alone in this country
- but throughout the world. It Is stated
' that state; county and municipal bonds
" are eAgJfyVsoufc'nt, at low rates of in
terest, wniie in many centers county
warrants are sold at a premium. While
this state of . affairs exists it would ot
'. baa mis for our' law makers to take In-
' to consideration the question of re'
ducing the rate of interest, on publif
obligations In this state. - Few states
pay as high rate'' of interest - upon
their floating debt, that is state.
- county and municipal warrantees does
Oregon.-In a -majority of the states
; the rate is 6 per cent wnila In some it
is as low , as 5. Such' warrants in
Oregon are as good securities and as
good investments as they are 'in any
state in the union, and there ia.no
common-sense-. reason why 'our war
rants should bear a higher ate of in
terest than those of any other' state.
County warrants are better securities
than the bonds of any railroad or other
private corporation, for the' property
of the whole county stands as a
guarantee that they will be paid; stPJ
railroad and other corporation - bonds
are floated at 4 to 4 per cen t, while
county warrants, " debts' whicb the

this year, and one pf the first acts to
become a law at this session should be
to reduce tbe rae of interest oa public

bear would be a justice to the masses

LEGISLATIVE 'ECONOMY. '
- It will devolve upon the incoming
legislature to dedide among ' other
things, whether t the burden of tax
ation shall be increased or diminished
whether tbe property of the state shall
be subject to plunder in order to- keep
7up needless extravagances, or whether
'"the expenses of the state &hall be kept
within" the legitimate requirements of
- economical, administration. Should
tbat body be1 true to the 'pledges its
members elect have made, and which'
have beenMdoitbe party that is in
tbe inaiority in its state platform, and
thftrebv'eu down appropriations as
closely as the needs of good govern
ment will permit, the state tax le vy for
tbe next two years will fall below three
mills, and tbe acts of tbe legislature
will meet the approval of the people.
But if we should have another legisla
ture of a thousand scandals, one whose
..apparent effort is to squander as much I
as possiuio ui hud o auwuvj, inn
which require two clerks for every
number; and which creates a lot of ad
' ditional high-salaried offices, the con
demnation of the people will justly fall
upon the legislators, for taxes in the
future will pecessariiy. oe nign.
It is plain from the move that are
-being made by . tbe politician, and
thoiie "hungry Iorr office, that 'every ef-

greater, than it has been during past
sessions of the legislature, and it will
require firmness on the part of mem
bers to withstand the demands of those
who seek reward for political service
rendered, in the way of offices or ap
propriations for pet schemes.
- But tho people demand economy,
and having been promised it, they
will not be patient under increased
burdens. . Farm values are low and
farm produce, except wheat, is a drug
on the maritet. Every business in the
cities and towns is dull and unprofit
able.'" Times are hard everywhere: it
is therefore not a time for., legislative
extravagance- or increased appropria
tions, but rather fpr stern retrench
ment. The people expect and demand
reform, and there is a great" reputation
awaiting the members pf fhe legisla
ture who remember their pledges and
who will lead in the work of retrench

. BANK, EXAMINER'S. 1
As the details ef-the failure -ot the
National Bank of Illinois are had the
question of what a national bank ex
aminer is worth as a safeguard to de
positors becomes more and' more, to the
point. Here, was a.n institution whicb
had loaned $2,475,000 on securities that
had a much .smaller value than their
face expressed and were, at the same
r.lmn. anhiar.t to the assaults of the
I bank's own directors acting in a pri-
vate and speculative way. - Upon the
balance sheet of the bank used by these
directors and presumably by the bank
examiner this loan did not appear at
all; and it is charged that the only
knowledge the examiner bad of it came
from an. outsider. "The officers of the
banksays the- account, "finding the
bank examiner was hot on their trail,
began to push the transactions they
bad on foot for the sale of the', secur
ities," This occurred - within a few
days past, yet the operations of the
deal extended over three years and
would have been long since observed
by an examiner who knew his business
or was mindful of bis duty.
While the theory .of bank examina
tions is sound, the practice in this
country makes it doubtful whether
they do not work more harm than
good. . Popular faith in a shaky bank
is largely increased by the knowledge
that an officer of the controller of the
currency s bureau nas reguiany in
spected it. That fact " is taken as a
guarantee that its management is safe
and its accounts correct, whereupon
deposits are increased. The examiner
really acts in such cases as a decoy
duck. He draws custom which the
bank does not deserve, and in, some
cases, no doubt, is well paiaiont.
Four or five years ago a country, bank
in this state failed for a million after
a career of the most reckless financier
ing, and when a receiver came to take
hold of its affairs the overdue note of
the "examiner was found among its
doubtful assets. He bad borrowed
freely and reported to the bank's taste.
Can it be proved that the case was or
is it exceptional? - -
When depositors cease to put their
faith in bank examiners, and appoint
committees to' conduct their own in ves
ligations, we shall hear better things
of the banking business, though it can
not be denied that the spectacle of a
few erriug bankers in the stone quarry
of a federal prison would not be with
out a certain efficacy which nothing
else could reach' S. F. Chronicle.
WHEELS AND CHIME.
In the Quarter Sessions Court No. 1,
an ancient tribunal in Philadelphia,
having jurisdiction in- criminal eases
and presided over, by Judge Yerkes,
one Freeman, a colored man, pleaded
guilty on Monday to. the offense of
forging a check for $56.75 upon his em
ployer. Freeman interposed no de
fense. - .He urged in extenuation, if
not in justification, of his-crime that
the forgery was done to enable him to
procure a bicycle. After this expla
nation, which "did not suffice, Judge
Yerkes declared it was "astonishing
the amount of crime that grew out of
the bicycle trade; at least one-third
of the business of the court was made
up by persons who were led astray, in
some way-by the bicycle." "' -
The employer of Freeman, the citizen
whose name bad been' forged to the
check, corroborated from his seat in
the court room the opinion of Judge
Yerkes. He said that lie appreciated
very forcibly the truth of tho Judge's
criticism,' adding sad picture of de
generacy in Philadelphia this testi-
tnnn t" I ton oifr. e r m it fiinnt irltiriAis
. J o. - """"
Mj.wm dozens of person 'riding
merrily past who owe megrocery bills."
Whether the pace of these delLn
quents is accelerated by,- the spectacle
of the Philadelphia groceryman sit
ting at his front window, or whether
thatlndlVidalj'mistaKes formfcrrlment
tbe light hearfand' joyous manner of
expert cyclists," Is a question left for
the Philadelphia, lawyers q: jmaweri
But the testimony of the Philadelphia
grocery mail Is to be taken as a serious
confirmation of ' the "view of Judge
Yerkes on a phase-of the bicycle ques
tion never : observed in other large
cities.1 ' -
In the staid old city of Philadelphia
the people must have lost their men
tal balance and " gone on a regular
bicycle craze, and have degenerated
from staid' Citizens to bicycle fiends.
It is cercainly peculiar that bicycles
should have had such an effect upon
Philadelphians, for in other cities the
introduction -of the bicycle seems to
have been in the interest of law and
order, and., to . have produced health
and morality. -'
VALUABLE RECOMMED4 TIONS
A committee appointed by the last
California legislature to propose
changes in the code have made several
important recommendations - that
might well be followed in this state.
One of these is that immediately after
ine vote ui apreciuct nas oeeo connteo
the election board shall have posted
in a conspicuous position at the poling
place, a bulletin showing -the vote of
each candidate received, the same to
be kept posted for at least ten days.
Such a provision will do much to pre
vent tampering with the returns in
case of a closely contested election.
"Another suggestion is that in contract
ing for supplies of any sort, as provis-
sions, stationary, printing, etc. y -the
county, commissioners, directors btl
1 ili..i v t - . -A
state institutions, .etc,, snau give me
preference to borne product and home
enterprise. . . ' .
RATES OF INTEREST.
As the time approaches for the con
vening of the Oregon legislature
the demand ' far. the reduction
of the legal rate of interest in the
state from 10 to 8 per cent is again
being forcibly urged, and such a
measure, when introdused, will no
doubt receive a heartier support than
it has in past aessions.
; Whether the rate of interest on
money can be controlled by legislation
is a question that has been very gener
ally discussed, and many able argu
ments have been produced in favor of
abolishing all usury laws, it being
held that money is nothing more than
any other property, and its price should
be governed by the law of supply and
demand, the same as wheat or-flour. It
is also argued that the attempt to regu
late the rate of interest by legislation
drives money out of the markets and
causes it to seek loans iq" localities
where higher rates of interests are al
lowed; also, that all usury laws are
violated by the charging of commis
sions and brokerage for negotiating
loans, and the exacting of a bonus
wherever a loan is made. Another
argument against the method of es
tablishing a low legal rate of Interest
is tbat it will cause owners of money
to refuse to loan it, and compell f-hem
to invest directly themselves.
This latter contention is a more
forcible argument for than against a
low interest law. If the adoption of a
strict usury law and the fixing of a low
rate of interest by legislation would re
sult in reducing the profits from ioan
in? money to such an extent that own
ers would invest their capital in busi
ness instead of holding It to loan,
much would be accomplished toward
reforming business and bringing the
commercial transactions nearer to s
cash basis. Few can do business suc
cessfully on borrowed capital, and those
who do succeed must mako a double
profit; that is their profit must first he
sufficient to pay interest and then to
recompense them for their labor, hence
the customers of those operating on
borrowed capital must pay greater
proSts than are consistent, since they
must pay for the use of money as well
as legitimate profits for conducting tho
business; and the .higher the rate of
interest, the more the customer must
suffer.
The contentions that the reduction
of the legal rate of interest will, drive
money out of the state or will force
owners of money to violate the law by
exacting usury are not well founded.
If the money is driven away, where
will it seek investment? . Certainly
not in the United States, for" in a
maj rity of the states the rate allowed
by special contract is already lower
than it is here, while in few-states any
rate is admissable, though - in a major
ity it is 8 per cent. As to money loaq
ers" violating the law by charging
usurous rates regardless of legislative
enactments,' some of course will, no
matter what rate. is' established so long
as they find borrowers who are willing
to attempt ot pay more than legal rates;
but prudent money, loaners will not
take the risk of violating; the law for
the sake of a little extra interest.
They will either accept the rate fixed
by law, or will invest their money di
rect in enterprises offeriug a higher
profit than can be had from extending
loans. .
As to the justness of the demand for
lower interest rates, there can be no
question. -The time probably existed
once in this state when business would
justify the payment of 16 or 12 per cent
per auum- for the use of money, hut
.that time .hias', passed.. No class of
business pays as high profits now as a
few years since. The income of the
merchant, the mechanic, Xhe day
laborer and the farmer -has been re
duced, and it Is but just 'that the money
lender should be content with a- cor
responding reduction. Hence it is that
the measure to reduce the legal rate
allowed for the use of' money will re
ceive a strong support in the . next
legislature.
THE PORTLAND METHOD.
it is utile wonuer tbe people, or
rather the money lenders of Mult
nomah county oppose the re-enact
ment of the mortgage tax law, and
also favor the present. system of lion1
exemption of indebtedness embodied
in the present amassment laws, if the
Oregon ian truthfully describes tbe
method pursued by the assessor in that
county. ' In a recent editorial it said:
"Notes secured by mortgage are not
assessed for. taxation in Multnomah
county, and ought not to - be assessed
anywnere. ah taxation ot credits is
double taxation, since it falls ou the
borrower,, who has already paid tax on
the . property pledged as security.
Taxation of notes secured by raort
gages, is plainly and flagrantly double
taxation in Oregon, becausa a law of
tbe stats ' permits the borrower to
covenant in the mortgage to pay -any
tax assessed upon the credit, and lie
must do this before be can borrow the
money. - The object of the assessment, J
of course, is to tax the money of the
lender. But-this money has become
identified with tbe property of the
borrower without increasing its value.
When the note is taxed, therefore the
borrower pays thai; much increased
tax on hi8J.ab'd;Thepractice, is as
stupid and, unjust as, the. old mortgage
txiaw',Its--.oVa3eea9or. pf sense
.follows. itiunle.83he .does, injustice
deliberately to make the present-law
odious and bring about restoration of
the mortgage tax;." '" '
So notes secured . by' mortgages are
hot assessed 'in Multnomah county,
and the Oregon Ian believes should
not be assessed anywhere, . Why such
Botes should be thus privileged is not
clear to anybody, except perhaps the
editor of tbe Orogonian, and if they
are not assessed in .Multnomah county
the assessor violates his duty. If
notes secured by mortgage should not
be - assessed, why assess ' ' notes not
secured? "Why assess money in any
form?. . Why not place the burden of
maintaining the government on real
estate,: improvements, live stock and
farm produce, and let money and all
evidences thereof g6 free?";
- The assessment of notes secured by
mortgage is not necessarily double
taxation. .Because the .statutes of
Oregon permit the borrower'td agree
to pay taxes upon credits it does not
follow that every money lender In the
state is a Shy lock. There are at least
some money lenders -who do not make
such exactions.' A .note secured by
mortgage is just as clearly property as
is the real estate on which the mort
gage; rests, and- U as justly liable to
taxation. However, if every mortgage
issued contained tbe,provisIop requir
ing; the . borrower: to: pay the taxes
thereon, it would be no more a double
taxation'1 o'r! greater burrtep . to the
debtor than is the present' system of
not allowing exemption for indebted-
ness. under this system every debtor
whose property Is fully assessed is
doubly taxed upon his debts, since he
is compelled to pay on property the
ownership of which rests in his credit
or. This system was inaugurated to
to further the Portland plan of as
sessment, that which exempts notes
secured by mortgage, and if allowed to
remain on the statutes much longer,
will result in another Portland method
that will exempt all credits from tax
ation. It is time for the legislature to
call a halt.
SOME TARIFF TALKS.
It appears that the big importers in
the eastern cities, says the Tacoma
News,' and many of the manufacturers,
are worried over the proposed changes
of the tariff and would be pretty well
satisfied if the existing tariff were let
alone.. Tho Dry Goods. Chronicle de
clares that "among dry ' goods men
generally the mention of any proposed
disturbance of the present tariff sched
ules produces a sensation of weariness
which finds expression in an almost
unanimous wish that things be left as
they are." The Dry Goods Economist
favors specific duties. It says that, if
the full duties imposed by the existing
tariff could be collected there would
practically be no deficit. Therefore,
it suggests that if the present, ad valo
rem duties were made specific there
would be no need of further change,
and that a "tariff along these lines
would go further toward satisfying
domestic and foreign interests and
producing for the government the fall
estimated revenue than any. proposed
tariff within 20 .years."- The woolen
manufactureas do uot waui the wool
interests further protected. The New
York papers generally concur in these
views. It is apparent that the same
old disregard of " the interests of the
west is manifested. The struggle is to
give what are called the advantages of
protection to the' eastern importers
and manufacturers. Now, if protection
is to be the policy of the country, the
west should insist on its products being
amply covered by the new law.
Portland Dispatch. ,
OFFICERS1 SALARIES.
Tbe demand is universal throughout
the state for a general cutting down
of salaries-and. fees of officers. Tbe
burdens of taxation are severely felt
atprosent, when business in every line
is dull and people of eyery walk of life
are. satisfied with reduced Income!
servants share in the reduction. . And
the demand .is., indeed just. Officers
geberally are paid decidedly higher
wages than are commensurate with the
labor perfo-med. They receive decid
edly more pay than they would if em
ployed as private citizens at -similar
work. It is not necessary to secure
efficient official service that exorbitant
salaries be paid. In fact the very op
posite is often the result. Tho higher
tbe salary the greater effort is put
forth to secure tbe position, and too
often incompetent men get positions
simply because the salary will justify
their resorting to trickery in order to
secure a nomination or election.
While the people should not be nig
gardly in dealing with their public
servants, still they cannot afford to be
extravagant. Any officer should be
paid reasonable wages for tho labor he
performs, wages equal to those paid
for the same class of service for pri
vate parties, and besides a reasonable
compensation for the responsibility be
assumes.-and the risk: he takes,; Fur
ther compensation is extravagance '.'
THIS IS REFRESHING.
The Chicago Tribune, a republican
paper and hitherto one of the staunch-
eat - advocates of "protection to
American industries," is out emphat
ically, against a duty on wool, giving
as. one .reason that "there ace more
consumers of woolen goods than there
are wool growers, and tho greatest
good to the greatest number should
prevail." . If this rule were' to ' be ap
plied to all industries it would put a
stop to the idea of protection, for the
consumers of every article are more
numerous than the producers, and the
Tribune and papers' of its stripe would
be deprived of their stock -argument
especially just prior to elections. But
the Tribune has another reason for
opposing the placing of ft duty oh wool.
It says that "more than a quarter of
the sheep in the country are in Texas, .
Montana, Utah, Idaho and -Washington,,
and it is clear that these wild
regions are not entitled to tnueh con
sideration. Tbey are out of the way,
they were for Bryan, and they -'.-should
not count in opposition to the wishes
of the eastern manufacturers?" This is
indeed -refresning, but how' can the
.Tribune reconcile its present position
with its teachings in the past?.. What
will it propose for tbe wool producing
states that voted for McKinley' For
tunately 'there is only one ' Chicago.
Tribune in the United States, though
there are 'a '.nnmber of other papers
that are. equally narrow contracted.
, EDhoRiAL notes:
There is only one class in Oregon
whose income has not been .reduced
within the past few years, and that
class is tbe office holders. The legis
lature should see to it that they too
are placed on an equality-with the
common herd by judiciously pruning
down salaries. TV-..- .-f :
- The republican party is pledged to
enact. A revenue, tariff bill, one that
will c'reatq-'enough revenue to meet the
demands of the government; -but from
tbe progress tbat is being made by the

appear that the bill, which will be re

protective that it will produce, no" rev
enue since it will prohibit all importations.-

"The manufactures generally have

Jonathan Bourne will be fairly in
the swim when . tbe . legislature con
venes next week. Not satisfied with
establishing himself in one one of the
finest residences in the state capital ,:
ho has rented ten rooms in tbe El
dridge block where he will open head
quarters during the session. But Jon
athan is just enough of a politician to
keep his own council, and nobody
knows what methods will be pursued
in those elegant quarters. . .
. Banker Hammond, who was respon
sible for the wrecking of. the Illinois
National bank in Chicago, has set n
example that might well be followed
by all wbo are guilty of a like offense.
There was no alternative for him but
prison life or suicide. He chose the
latter. Hammooii was certainly con
siderate. He bad-cost. enough trouble
allready, and rather than put the state
to the expense of convicting him and
caring for him in the penitentiary, put
& stop to All further worry by ending
his life. ' ,.
-If the -statement -published in tbe
dispatches, that Gomez has resorted to
the butchery of prisoners of war as a
retaliatory measure, are true, it will
serve as a damper on the cause of Cuba.
Little sympathy will be felt for the
Cubans if they resort to the cruelties
practiced by the Spaniards.
Next June Queen Victoria, if she
lives and remains oa the throne, will
celebrate the sixtieth' anniversary of
her reign. Hers has been one of the
greatest reigns of any monarch of the
world, . but tbe"; average ' American
citizen would find more'glbry in serv-4
ing one term as. a successful president
than sixty years as a erow'ned monarch.
The dispatches announce that less
than a score of senators were present
at the session of Wednesday. Of the
ninety members of that body less than
twenty were at their posts attending
to the duties for. -which they were
elected. Where. were the other seventy?
Possibly some of them looking after
their re-elections, but none of them
will be absent when the time for paying
their salaries come9. -
Dan Carlos, the pretender to the
Spanish throne'; is said to be able to
command $150,000,000 for' any expedi
tion he may organize to-obtain the
right to wear, the; Spanish crown. . He
could we1! afford to expend half that
amount helping the Cuban patriots to
secure their independence, and after
that, was accomplished -Gomez could
take a few of bis best generals oyer to
Spain to capture the throne. .
The press dispatches record the clos
ing of from one to five banks every day.
This is indeed a bad' state of affairs,
one wo all sincerely regret, and hope
may come to a speedy termination
with a revival of business which we all
expect within a few months at lartbest.
And we certainly have grounds for
such hopes, since a depression in busi
ness cannot last indefinitely. The de
mands of trade and the natural require
ments of the people we trust will bring
about a change Tor the better in spite
of the the ' legislation or disturbance
caused by agitation of the tariff and
financial questions.
Senator Walcott, of Colorado, has
gone to Europe in the futile effort to
bring about an international agree
ment whereby gold and silver may be
coined at an agreed ratio and - both be
made a standard money of the leading
commercial nations. It is not to the
interest of the European powers to en
ter into such an agreement, hence it is
not probable Senator Wolcott's efforts
will meet with any encouragement.
Independent action' by the United
States is the only logical method by
whicb bimetalism can bo established,
hence we conclude the gentleman from
Colorado has gone oh a useless errand.

KILLIES AND THEIR FOES.

"He doesn't mind a little thing like
that," said the deacon, kindly, as he
passed his hook through the skin be
hind the bacle fin of the killie and cast
minnow, hook and sinker the length of
his line to try the effect of a fresh bait.
"If the snappers don't" bite any better
than they ve been doing he 11 be swim
ming as lively as ever when we pull up
anchor to go home. Look at those
killies in the bait box. Nothing damper
about them than some seaweed since
morning, and they'll all be ready to
swim away if they stay till to-morrow
"They are tough and hardy little feV
Iowa and no mistake," be continued,
lifting the seaweed to look admiringly
at the wriggling little stumptailed fish
packed like sardines in the box. "They
seem to have been created for the good
of others. Everything preys on killies,
from men who bait their hooks witb
them or eat 'the minnows as white
bait, down to' the gulls and herons and
bass and blackfisb and weakfish and
fluke and snappers that follow them
among the - grass every full tide. And
with all this jkeeping after them tbey
don't thin them out that anyone can
see. , Why, th'e ..'very chickens along
shore will' run from a dough trough
for tbe sake of eating killies' eggs."
, "Hold on a minute, deacon," said the
reporter, who was the: pious mariner's
fishing companion that day. VI grant
all the rest you-say, but please explain
bow chickens manage to get at the
killies eggs. If you'd said ducks or

Just why sudden death should be shock

to see some loved one wasting away, daily

than heart disease more than cholera
more than yellow fever more than any
other disease the world has ever known.
And yet people are careless about it. A man

quiet and avoiding excitement Consump

Hats to Be Banished From
Culcago Theater.
Washington, Jan. 5. The senate
re-asseinbled at noon today, the at
tendance being somewhat meager.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Peffer, of Kansas, "to improve the
banking business," and one by Shoup,
of Idaho, a9 to alien ownership of lands
in territories.
The first reference to Cuba was in
two resolutions offered by Call, of
Florida. The first requests the presi
dent to send the senate in secret or
open session, as he may deem best, all
reports relating to the condemnation
to life imprisonment in chains by the
Spanish authorities at Havana, of Sun
guilly, an American citizen.
' The second recites the circumstances
of the Sanguilly. trial and. condemna
tion and directs tho secretary of state
to "demand his immediate release."
Tbe resolutions went over. Call stat
ing that he w ould speak on them.
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, offered
a resolution, which was agreed to,
asking the secretary of the treasury
for information as to the Bering sea
seal fisheries, particularly as to why
only $1000 was yielded tbe government
in 1896 for the privilege of taking 630,
000 sealskins.
Peffer then addressed the senate on
his resolution for a commission of five
senators to investigate the entire mon
etary 6 abject and report within a year.
PeiTer's speech dealt largely with the

kinds of money and the uncertainties
of the present financial' system.

Land Instituted.
Washington, Jan. 5 There was a

The following resolution was adopted
on motion of Broderick of Kansas: , -
"Whereas, ' There are large and val
uable tracts of land in Kansas em
braced in the grant to the Union Pa
cific Railway Company to which pat
ents have not yet been issued.
'Whereas, Most of these lands have
been sold by said company to said pur
chasers who are in possession, and
who have made lasting and valuable
improvements thereon.
"Whereas, The land office at Topeka
has allowed and is allowing home
stead entries to be made upon these
lands without apparent legal author
ity, therefore be it
"Resolved, That the secretary of
the interior be directed to report to
the bouse the cause of the omission to
issue patents to said lands and the au
thority under which- thO'land officers
pretend to act in permitting these
entries to be made."
Then, under a special order adopted
before the recess, the bouse went into
committee of the whole for considera
tion of the Loud bill to amend laws re
lating to second-class mail matter.
The bill amends the present law in
several particulars, the principal ones
of which deny newspapers the "sample
copy privilege," and denyt to books
the priviledge of - being, sent through
Lhe mails as serials at newpapo-
pound rates. -
. WUKK UK THE SENATE
Information Asked I'pou Recognition of
Foreign Powers.
Washington, Jan. 6. Less than
a score of senators were in the senate

secretary of the state to send to the
senate a statement as to the action of
the president or secretary of state
touching the recognition of any foreign
people or power as an independent
government and the corresponding
action of other branches of the United
States government.
Call, of Florida, spoke on his Cuban
resolutions introduced yesterday con
cerning the comendation of Julio
Sanguilly, at Havana. Call raid the
report from tho state department as to
the killing of Charles Govin, omitted
many important faetures, which would
have 'disclosed - that1 consul-General
Lee believed Govin had been tied to
tree and chopped to pieces. To show
the facts,. Call read a ' letter from
srentlemnn in'Havaoa, whose name
was withheld.'
At the close of Call's Cuban speech
tbe senate agreed to bis resolution
asking the secretary of the state for all
corresoondence in the case ot Julio
Sanguilly. ;
Fanners- In Evidence ' .
r Washington, Jan. 5 The agricul
tural schedule of the tariff law, whicb
was considered today by the ways and
means committee, inspired statements
from the representatives of a wide
range of industries. There was a con
flict between .Mexican cattlemen and
' Congressman Curtis, of Kansas, over
the effect of the Wilson rates on cattle
and beef production of this country.
Representatives of the Pennsylvania
and Virginia Grange asked for duties
on. agricultural ' products. Massachu
setts fisherman and fish dealers and
the salt importers and New York pro
ducers had interesting tilts. The
Southern rlcegrowers argued the nec
essity of high protection,, and similar
arguments were presented by Califor

OOMFZ RETALIATES.
Captures m Spanish Town and Kills tbe
Inhabitants.
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 6. A letter re
ceived here from Cieba de Avilla on
the old trocha between Jucarro and
Moroona, pays that General Gomez at
tacked this plate this week. Gomez
asked the Spanish commander to sur
render the town. He said he would
not, but would fight. The result cf
the fight was that the town was cap
tured by Gomez, who took 145 prison
ers. All of these he killed.
This was according to a manifesto he
issued directed to Spanish authorities
a few days ago saying that as the
Spanish had refused to agree to con
duct a humane war, it was now an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, just
as Weyler had treated the paciflcos. '
Day in the House.
Washington, Jan. 7. Desp'to-the
fact that the house today entered upon
consideration of the Pacific railroads
funding bill, the attendance on the
floor was not large. Great interest,
however, was manifested by those
present.
Under a special order adopted before
the holiday recess, the debate wilt con
tinue until Saturday evening, and the
voting take place on Monday.
Before the debate began a bill was
passed to amend the act providing for
a civil government in Alaska so as to
create tho office of surveyor-general,
at a salary of $2000 a year, to perform
the duties of register and receiver of
the general land oilice at Sitka.
Vfoolgrowrr Get a Hearing.
Washington, Jan. 6. The hearing
on the wool schedule brought many
farmers and manufacturers to the wajs
and means committee-room today.
John G. Clark, of the Washington
county (Pa.) Woolgrowers' Associa
tion, spoke strongly of the effects of
the free wool clause of the Wilson law,
which he declared had prostrated the
business of the United States. The
experiment of free trade had been a
crime. The value of land bad declined
and sheepmen in all parts of the
country bad been driven from busi
ness." The sheepraisers' asked only a
moderate duty that would enable them
to continue in business.
Doom of the Theater Hat.
Chicago, Jan. 5. The city council

One More Airship.
PITT9BCEG, Jan. 7 Charles D. De
forest, a Pittsburg inventor, wbo has
been interested in the stories about
the alleged California airship, says he
bu a flying machine that will By. Yes
terday be exhibited a model which
flew across a field. He believed the
airship would be built on tbe principle
of a bird's flight, and his model looks
like a lar,;e hawk or eagle. He was
careful to arrange it so that tbe body
of the bird would hold sufficient gas to
make the michine buoyant enough ' to
elevate and sustain itself in the air.
After filling the model with gas he
attached a rope to it. As soon as be
released the model it started skyward
until tbe end of the rope was reached.
Deforest has made a number of publio
tests of his model and all were success
ful.

revenue member, said the tioiely rains
of November and December bad saved
India from the greatest calamity of the
century, so widespread and severe was
tbe drought. The large area sown
with the assistance of the November
raiDS had, he said, been greatly bene
fited by further rains last week, and n
addition to food stock was expected in
April.
In spite of this, the present situation
was very grave. Nearly 750,000 persons
were already in receipt of relief, and
the task of providing'for the eno-mous
numbers was gigantic. - The govern
ment was giving unstinted help. .

In Guatemala the servants are either
