NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
The Matter OF Fictitious Bills of Ladinl
-IntersIate Commerce.

WASHINGTON, January 25.-The National
Board of Trade this morning discussed the
matter of fictitious bills OF lading. The
discussion arose from reference to alleged
fraudulent bills covering fictitious ship
ments from points far south to New York
and New England. 4 committee was ap-
pointed to prepare bills on the subject, to
Re presented to Congress. The same COM
mittee was instructed to prepare a bill
securing advances OF money made upon
bills of lading. The subject of interstate
commerce was also discussed. 1t is the
purpose of the board to pass resolution
urging the President to appoint national
committee to protect the interest of the
public in railway management.
a resolution was adopted reciting the
enormous value OF property annually con-
sumed by fire in this country, and recon-
mending that Congress appoint board to
investigate the causes OF such great waste
of the country's wealth.
\ resolution was adopted requesting
Congress to repeal the law making coinage
OF silver dollars compulsory, and the prop
osition that all taxes on home products be
repealed and the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau abolished was laid on the table with
out debate.
Resolutions were adopted recommend
ing to Congress the passage of the measure
now pending before Congress to allow the
President the privilege OF yetoing separate
| items OF the appropriation bills, and de-
claring it the duty OF Congress to enact
laws preserving the rights guaranteed by
the constitution and allowing the freedom
! OF trade intercourse among the citizens OF
the several States without the payment OF
local taxes or licenses.
Debate then turned ON the expediency
of the adoption by this country OF meas
ures of retaliation against nations dis
eliminating against American pork.
The next meeting of the Executive
Council will be held at Indianapolis, May
18th. Adjourned sine die.
