ported faVorably the bill introduced by
Senator Manderson tknown as the Grand
Army bilD to pension eX-soldiers and sail
Ors incapaCitated for mammal labor and TO
provide pensions for dependent relatives

objects in view as contemplated by the

A resolution was introduced by Senator
Plumb asking an investigation of the
facts as to the passage, engrossmeut and
enrolment OF the funding act under which
over 100000, 900 four per cent bonds We're
issued was received by the House judiciary
committee this morning. The resolution
causes considerable talk in the House.
Curious disclosures are expected which
may involve the validity of all the four
per cent bonds outstanding. When
Senator Plumb found that the
journals of the House and Senate showed
the bill as passed provided the govern
ment might redeem these bonds at plea
sure "for 80 years, instead of "after 81
ye4rs,' as the published law puts 1t, he
examined the engrossed bill and found the

Carpet Purposes.

Carpet Wool Not Diverted to other than
Carpet Purposes.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 8.-The Phil
edeIphia Carpet Trade for February will
coatail statement from james Dodson,
an extensive manufacturer, denying the
charge of the American wool growers
that vast importstions of third class Gear
pet wool is diverted to other than car
pet purposes. Mr.. Dodson analyses the
consumption of carpet woods, and
finds that of $4,000, 600 pounds i'm
ported last year, all except 5000, 900 were
used by the carpet factories OF the east,
that of this, probably 5,000.0 600 pounds
went into other manufactures, leaving
only 5000, 900 to be accounted for, and
he thinks this amount might be consumed
by small carpet factories. Dodson adds ::
"Fhis is exclusive of the stock entering
into three quarter carpets. Those figures
show thSt it is impossible for either so
per cent. or even 10 per cent. of the
carpet woods imported into this country
to have entered into any other fabrics
than carpets, so it cannot possible affect
the grower of quarter-blood or any
other American grown wool.
