WAsurNGroT, August Z0.-fSpeclal. r. Bills
0efe introduced by Representatives Breckin-
ride 81 Arkansas. and Simmons, of North
Carolina today TO allow importers Of baeging
for baiinq COTTON drawback equal to the duty
on the same during tie continuation Of the
bageinp trust The bills Of course, were in
trolaced solely fol the purpose Of dctroying

vays and means committee. from whence Mr..
Breckenridge, WHO is member OF that coni-
ulittec saws they wlll be reported iagorahiy at
once, and the chances arc that ono Of the two
bills viii become law, before
adieurnmunt Tho many mcmbers
who represent agricultural districts
will push them through ms rapidly as possible,
and there seems 20 bo no doubt that the effect
will be the
DEATH or THE BAGarEG TRUST
at once. Naturally, the reason for pushing
one OF the bills through as rapidly rs possible
Is because of the opening OF the cotton season
on the first Of September.
Mr. Breckenridge also introduced bills some
what similar to destroy the sugar and other
trusts, and Il is evident that democratic mem
bers. and especially southern ones are deter
mined to destroy trusts as rapidly as possible.
The bapcinp trust will however, be dispensed
with Grst OF all.

sums Of money down into Mr. Mills's district in
Texas for the purpose OF defeating him. Tho
money has been used very effectiyHy and the
news ON Texas lately has had the effect OF
almost stampeding his supporters here.
II Is said' the wof and cattle nters
have combined against him. They are
supplemented by the republicans and that por-
tion of the vote of the district which can he pur-
chased for moneyed consideration. Things
look somewhat dark for tho Texan at homo
now, but members of his delegation seem to be
