INSTRUCTOR RANDALL
Mr.. Kasson introduced a resolution fora
select committee on the Inter.0ceanic Ca
nal that Sam. Randall determined ho did
not want, andat once commenced fillibust.

when Speaker Keller crushed him by
ruling that two motions to adjourn could
not be made without the intervention Of
business.
Mr.. Randall made tho point that no quo
rum was voting, and demanded TEL
eH. Having become one Of these OFF,
cials he kept enough Democrats from
voting to carry out his theory Of no
quorum, and then demanded the yeas and
nays. At the close OF this Mr.. Kasson al-
lowed his resolution to be referred to II
committee, Mr.. Randall having impeded
business just ono hour with quorum in
tho House and having gained for himself
the name OF party leader,
Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana, played good

awkward moments, that he was obliged to
withdraw them at Randall's command each

The exhibit this week IS hardly gratify-
ing as one could wish, retlecting, rs II does
unusually, tho quiet state Of the wholesale
trade in the large trade centres. This lulI
in the general trade throughout the country
has served to bring the total footing down
from 81, ,250,47O ,064 last week to 81, l0S,357,'
2S3 this week. The figures, however, are
more uniavorable still when compared with
those Of the previous week, which were
81, 500, ,032, ,19S. The per centage Of the de.
crease this week as compared with the cor.
responding week Of last year amounts 10
1872 per cent againstan increase Of 26 per
cent last week and decrease OF III per
cent the previous week. In New York the
per CentNge OF the decrease Is 2l.0 against
decrease OF l,3 per cent last week and 100
the previous week. In this city in the
wholesale trade the volume OF dealings has
been generally less In magnitude, even in
an instance OF speculative faYorites Of pro-
duce. The list outside OF the New York
clearings very generally show an increase
in the per Centage, II being 10 per cent
this week against VI per cent last week and
81 the previous week. -,
Among the Eastern cities Boston still
continues below the line, showing a de-
crease OF COZ per cent against 1901 per
cent last week. Philadelphia, where spec
ulaton Is at stanestill and the markets
unusually quiet, records gain OF 3O.4 per
cent, against 90.2 per cent lust week. bal.
timore, whose export business is at present
somewhat restricted, shows an increase OF
30.2 per cent, against 40.S per cent last
week. Manufacturing cities very generally
make encouraging exhibits, showing no
disturbing Influences at work affecting the
industrial growth Of the country. In the
South, New Orleans shows falling of OF
7O.1 per cent, against 0.4 per cent last
week. Western cities very generally show
large gains. San Francisco shows slight

some Interesting Information.
WAsnlNGToS, December l0.-The report
OF Joseph X. McCammon, Commissioner
Of Railroads, has been received by the Sec.
rctNry Of the Interior. 1t says: The indi.
cations arc that within short time there
will be five different routes 10 the Pacific
coast, where less than year ago there
was but one. The railroads have been in.
strumental in developing the country at u
rapid rate. Capital lHs been invested in
immense sums, and still the tendency Is
towards increased development prin.
cipAlly in the South and Southwest.
lis believed that the operations in rail.
road construction this year will exceed
those OF any previous year, and in conse.
quenCe large traCts OF mineral and agricul-
tural lands will be made accessible. The
Commissioner takes up the question Of
compensation 10 the land grant railroads
for transportation OF troops and govern.
ment supplies, and says n have reached
the conclusion that iifty per cent OF tic
tariff Of the ordinary rate OF the compar .
would be just compensation to the r, :
roads and the government, and proper !-g
permanent application"
Engineer Blackstone, while recognizing
the general good condition Of the Pacific
railroads, says; There is still left much TO
be done in order TO bring them to that
standard condition that true economy In
their maintenance and operation suggests.
The engineer criticized severally the faulty
construction Of many bridges, and says
comparatively few Of them are supplied
with proper safe guards against accident,
In conclusion, the attention Of Congress Is
invited to the faCt that there Is no uniform
system Of ralrond signals In Use, which Ia
a source OF confusion and should be reme-
died by appropriate legislation.
