A Successful Test of New Substitute
for Jute,


CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 21.-An i'm
portant test was made here to-day, which
promises untold benefits to the entire south.
Two bales of cotton were covered with pine
straw bagging, at present manufactured
near Wilmington, N c. They were put
through the cotton press, where they were
subjected to pressure of 1000 tons, and
were given to a gang of longshore-
men, who used their hooks freely, tossing
the bales about for fifteen or twenty
minutes. The bagging stood the test.
Water was next poured over the bales, and
was she'd as freely as by the jute bagging
Fire was applied to both jute and pine.
straw bags, and there was no difference in
the result. Tests were also made as to the
staining of cotton, with equally satisfac-
tory results. AT the close of the experiment,
which was witnessed by many members of
the cotton exchange, it was the unanimous
opinion that substitute had been found for
jute The two bales were sent to New
York tonight, and will be exhibited at the

| ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 21.-A bill has
been filed in the United States district
court for the appointment of receiver Tor
the Rome and Carrollton Construction Com
pany in favor of the Chattahoochee Brick
| Company. The Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany claim that the Rome and Carrollton
Construction Company are indebted to
| them for work done on the road and for
material furnished to the amount of
| $157 ,947 rs The Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany ask that the construction company be
made to render an account for the work
| pc formed by them under the contract

| tanned; that a decree be rendered fore
closing the mortgage held ny them on the

ne CuaJUauOOcuec DflcK company Ddu
a contract with the Rome and Carrollton
Construction Company for building about
100 miles of the Rome and Carrollton road,
which runs from Chattanooga to Carroll
ton. The brick company claims that the
construction company was obliged to
complete the road by July or
forfeit subscription Of 100000
made by Chattanooga. The brick company
claim that they were ready to build the
road, but that the construction company
violated their contract, causing them to
lose S9S, ,19l. The construction company
refused to pay for the road at its compile
tion on account of some misunderstanding,
and in order to save the road
the Chattanooga subscription the
brick company allowed trains to be
run upon it. They say that the construc-
ton company is making some sort Of ar
rangements to turn the road over to the
railroad company, and hence the filing of
the bill. Judge Newman ordered that the
defendant be made party defendant to the
bill and granted a temporary restraining
order, and fixes Saturday of next week as
the time for the hearing of the bill.

KILGoRE DELIVERS THE BILL.
Mr.. Stewart Introduces a Bill Sug-
gested by the Incident


WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Representative
Kilgore, acting chairman of the House
committee on enrolled bills, called on the
President this morning, and delivered to
him the Chinese exclusion bill.
The President has received official in
formation of tho refusal of the Chinese gov
ernment 10 ratify the amended treaty.
In the Sc, ate this morning MIR. Stewart
introduced bill regulating the presenta-
tion of bills and Joint resolutions to the
President of the United States, which, after
brief discussion was referred to the com
mittee on rules.
1t makes it the duty of the speaker of the
House and of the president of the Senate
TO have bills and joint resolutions presented
forthwith to the President in person, and to
have them reported to their respective
houses.
Mr.. Stewart also offered resolution re-
citing the statements in the public press
that the presentation of bills to the Pres-
dent is frequently delayed for several days,
and sometimes for weeks, by the House
COMMITTEES on enrolled bills, and resolving
that the Senate as a branch of the legisla-
tive department of the government, call the
attention of the House of Representatives
to such delays in presenting bills to the Presi-
dent of theUnited States and ask the House TO
require its officers to present such bills
without unnecessary delay. He desired to
submit some remarks, but as it had been
agreed that:the agricultural department bill
should be taken up immediately after the
morning business, he deferred his re-
marks until that bill would be disposed of.
1t was ordered that when the Senate ad-
journed to-day it would be to meet on Mon
day.
All last evening and all this morning Mr..
Kilgore kept getting kilograms from San
Francisco and Sacramento democrats urg-
ing him to deliver the Chinese exclusion
bill to the President promptly. lest the
democrats of California should suffer by
the delay. Inasmuch as China has rejected
the treaty the President will probably sign
the exclusion bill

CRANE AND THE TRUSTS.
He Asks Right of Way for a Bill But
Objection is Made.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Craine of Texas asked unanim-
Gus consent to offer a resolution authorizing
the committee on the judiciary to report to
the House at any time for immediate con-
sideration a bill providing by legal and
judicial proceedings for the suppr pression
and prevention of trusts. He asked that
the resolution be referred TO the committee
on the judiciary because the House had
practically no committee on rules, three
members of that committee being absent.
He was informed that none of them would
return. Both parties had denounced the
combinations OF conspiracies called trusts
and the president had declared the opposi-
tion of the administration to them. 1t
seemed that the committee on ways ard
means was confessedly unable TO present to
the House any measure on the subject of
trusts, and he thought it was due to the
people of the country that the House
should be authorized to have the right-of
way with legislation of that character.

Atlanta Dangerously Injured.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 21.-Early this
morning some one reported at police head
quarters that negro was lying dead in the
woods near the glass factory. As the loca-
tion was outside tho city limits the sheriff
was informed of the matter. Deputy Sheriff
Perkerson went to the place ON horseback
and found the negro, but he was not dead.
His skull was crushed and there were ugly
knife wounds about his head and body. He
was brought to the city and taken to the
Ivy street hospital. His name is Gus Spear
and he has been working on the East Ten
nessee railroad. Last night he was paid
off and started to Atlanta with his money

to him. When found, his pockets were
empty, showing that he had been robbed.
The sheriff thinks he has spotted the men
who made the assault, and the arrest of
three negroes will probably follow.
