WASHINGTON, January aO.-TLe Post.
master General to-day issued q circular
letter to postmasters embodying the
rules and regulations which will here
after govern under the new law relating
| to permissible writing and printing on
second, third and fourth class mali mat
ter. Tue law went into effect to-day.
WILL REFUSE HEARINGS.
While no formal order to that effect
has been made, it is the present inten-
| ton of the Democratic majority of the
Ways and Means Committee to refuse
hearings to trade interests that may be
affected by tariff changes. The reasons
assigned for the adoption of this course
are that if such hearings were granted
the time of the committee would be use
lessly consumed in listening to a recital
of facts that have often been presented
to it during the past few years, that
many important interests are
not represented at hearings of
this kind, with the result
that undue consideration is given to
others, and that the courtesy of the
committee is frequently abused by per-
sons who seek to retard all tariff legis-
lation, rather than to truly express their
sentiments upon propositions affecting
industries which they are supposed to
represent.
To avoid, however, the necessity for a
total refusal to hear the views of such
trade interests as have presented them
selves at the Capitol, the Democratic
members of the committee have been
for some days giving their attention to a
representation of various delegations,
and in order to dispel the appearance of
anything like formal conferences these
hearings are being conducted in "A little
room in the basement of the House |
wing, where such of the Democratic |
members as can escape from their duties |
or the floor are in attendance. This |
morning number of representatives of |
the zinc and lead industries, mostly |
favor of protection of their interests, and |
several cotton manufacturers were wait |
ing for an opportunity to be heard.
INVESTIGATION OF TRUSTS
Mason's bill, prouiding for an investi- |
CATION of trusts and combinations. was
taken up by the House committee on |
to-day, and after short |
discussion, which disclosed the fact that
the committee is unanimous in its sup
port, favorable report was ordered. 1t
is expected that this report will be made
early next week, and will recommend |
that the Judiciary Committee be au-
thorized TO investigate all trusts affect
ing coal, sugar, mining industries and |
other kindred subjects.

possible for anyone to maintain that so

point strongly in the dire ton OF peace,

hsd determined to set aside the verdict of
the jury if conviction wes obtained ard

the jury to SCOUT, which Mr.. Psschall
did. The Jury accordingly without lesv-
tpg the box returned this verdict: We
the jury find the defendant not guilty as

Of he offense, an1 that said defendant is
now sane.

missed the other charges against Hsrrl-

TIE RUBBER TRUST.

DAYS.

It's Formation to be Completed In a Few
Days.
NEW YORK, Feb. THE formation of
the great proposed rubber trust is now s
question OF only few days. The COM
mlttee appointed to settle the differences
between Christopher Meyers and others
regarding the New Jersey manufactures
has effected compromise and will pro-
pose plan of organization at meeting
to be held within two or three days. By
this plan all the manufacturers OF rubber
goods who wish to join the trust will
pool their own stock and tuln 1t over to q
central company in exchange for
certified sheets OF trust in pro-
portion to value. Those concerns
which can manufacture rubber goods at
the lowest rates will be continued in
operation while the others will shut
down. The different factories kept in
operation will make different grades of
goods with the result Of making more
goods with less labor and much smaller
cost. Instead Of or per cent. profit,
as at present, the firms interested will be
aole to realize over 10 per cent profit an
nuaIly. The formation Of this trust will
have three great results: The profits for
the consumers will become higher and
several thousand Workmen will be thrown
out of employment without any other re-
sources to fall back upon. The combine
involves q working capital of $50, 900, 900
and an annual trade Of 800, 100000.
