Mining Cone-rets Will Draft Bill for That Purpose. Joplln, Mo., Nov. 13. Three hun dred delegates from 30 states were pres ent here today at the first business see- ion of the American Mining congress, which began its annual convention yes terday. Many high authorities on mat ters pertaining to mining and metal- urgy were on the program for addresses on various kindred subjects. A committee of five was sppointed to draft a measure that will prevent min ng engineers from siding in the perpe- ratios of mining frauds. A resolution aHklng the Federal gov einment to issue separate patents to land suitable for both mining and agri cultural purposes, and classifying mine' rai iana aa mineral land only, was submitted. In an interview President Richar:ls stated that President Rooeevelt told mm ne would remimmend to congress the establithment of a bureau of min Ing similar o the Agricultural depart ment.

AGUINALDO IS HOPEFUL. Confident of Benefits From Tsfi's Visit to Islands. Manila, Nov. 12. A feature of ths visit of Secretary of War Tsft to Manila was the presence of Aguinsldo at sever si of the functions, for the first time since bis capture. Discussing the visit of Mr. Taft to Manila with a repreten tatlve of the Associated Press, he said "It is my belief that the benefits to follow the visit, to the peonle of the Philippines, will be greater than they can reckon at the present time. I am at present unable to form an opinion, offhand, of the advantages, but I sm confident that it has done good. The Inauguration of the assembly has gone a long way to cement tbe friendship of the Philippines with the people of the United States. It is the fulfillment of a solemn promise, which many expect ed wonld not be fulfilled, the secre tary of war did not bring Independence the following members Washington. Nov. 12. The recent financial disturbance In New York aud the flurry iu other parts of the country will result in considerable discussion tf finance at the coming session of con grees snd will produce an unusually large number of bills to amend the tanking laws. The subject will be die uased by the president in Ms meat age and the congressional record will be loaded with all kinds of talk as to the d Inability of chaualug thd CUrri&iy laws of the nation. But the more oon yjrvative men who have viewed the sit uation in its broadest light believe there will be no financial legislation and in their judgment the talk will ooroe to nothing. If these views prove to be incorrect snd financial legislation ia undertaken it will be most unfortunate fur the country, because the legislation will be intrusted to two committees which are not property constituted to handle subject of this importance. The senate committee la largely composed of men who are Incapable of framing safe finan cial legislation or who would take ad' vantage of the situation to put through legislation in the interest of Wall street rathir than In the Interest of the entire community. The house committee ia made up almost entirely of men who are incapable of passing judgment upon a subject of such consequence. The senate committee on finance la constituted as follows: Nelro 1 W Aldrlch, of Rhode Island; William B. Allison, of Iowa; Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan; Thomas C. Piatt of New York; Henry C.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 11. Re porta from the building trades reveal aoiuo remarkable conditions. Although for a number of weeks new business l as been reduced to a small volume, Statis tics of production for the past month shorn th seldom in ths bUtory cf ths rtt Via a s wh larva ton ns wee be la turned out. For exauiph, the Ameri can Bridge company, the largest pioduc er of structural material, turned out 60,000 tons last month, but sjld only one-third of that amount. A steel corpoiatiou made so pi la! ng records at l'ituburg. Tbe Carnegie company broke records at Its various planta. The Illinois Hteel company not only broke all its previous records but did sc in every lndivldiisl depart ment in all three works, South Chicago, Milwaukee and Jollrt. Even mote surprising than all there waa the blaat furnace production for CXt ber, which, according tc the statis tics of the Iron Trade Review reached a new hia-h point In tbe history of the trade, the production being 2.362,630 tons, compared with the largest output. 2.2H1.030 tons in May of thia year. Ia other words the production for October waa at the rate oi about 28,000,000 tona a year. The statistics for November W'll doubtless tell a vastly diffeient story. Many sheet and tin plate mills have been closed and the sheet bar mills of the steel corporation at Columbua anJ lie 11a ire are idle. Tbe corporation now has 21 blast furnaces out of commission and independent concerns are curtailing their product. Hence it may be confi dently expected that the output of both pig Iron and finished materials would be much smeller thia month than for any previous month of tbe year. BRAZIL OUTLET FOR JAPAN. B. F.
