A FAIR sample of Congressional
"How to do it, may be seen in The
treatment which bills receive after ba-
ing introduced by our Solons. The
House has sent to its various commit
tees over 400 bills, of which it
passed $40, and of these 60 have been
enacted by the Senate into laws
The Senate has referred | 1,150 bills, Of
which it passed 100, and of these %
became laws. Thus, out Of $3.50 bills,
only SO have become laws, and Of
these only five are Of a general aa-

companies. One Of the millesss discovered;
that one Of the elevators, which conducts the
-four from the basement TO The middlings
purifier in the upper story, had become
clogged. He took lantern and proceeded
to the basement. Removing the, obstruc-
tions, he started the elevator, when puff Of
flour dust scattered on the lantern was ie-
ni.ed. "A slisht explosion followed and ev-
ery,hiug was instantly enveloped in flames.
The flames ran up all the elevators aud al.
most in moment the entire interior of the
mill was on fire. Al one time il seemed
certain that the Washburn B min and the
North Star woolen mills would burn, but
both we're saved without serious damage
by the extraordinary efforts Of 6remen and
ci.izens. The Anchor mill vas built in 1874.
and contained IL run Of stoscs and all the
modern improvements. II will b imwsdi-
