APsoueer Factory to Close

SAN Francisco, May 16.-It is unof-
ficially announced that the Pioneer
Wooden Mills of this city, established in
1858. will suspend operations within a
few weeks. The suspension is a voluu-
tary one, but has virtually been forced
by the improbable character of the
business during the last few years. The
capital stock at this date is 81 100000, all
paid up. The factory now gives employ
ment at times to five or six hundred
people.

Cold Rains Welcomed.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 16.-Specials to the
Tribune report cold rains all over the
northern and central portions of the
State. Chinch-bugs, wherever they were
getting active, seem to be chilled to
death or drowned. The farmers and
loggers are jubilant. The farmers claim
that there is enough water in the ground
to last for six weeks or two months.
Crops everywhere are in fine shape and
promise a grand harvest if there is no
bad luck from summer frosts.

The proposed measure recommended by the
National Commercial Bodies of the United
States and known as the Torrey Bankruptcy
bill contains, it il claimed, all the wisdom Of the
Lowell bill with features that are simpler and
that commend it to the west, which objected
in the 48th Congress to the measure formulated
by Judge Lowell All persons owing as much as
$500 and who are not wage workers or engaged
extensively in raising agricultural products
may accept its provisions. Other e1cep-
tons are national banks and NUM-
cipaI, charitable and religious organizations.
The United States courts are declared to be
courts Of bankruptcy, and the offices of referee
and trustee are created, the latter the repre-
sentative of the creditors. The referee il Q
salaried officer of the United States, and is paid
out Of the national treasury. One Of the best
features is the power with which the District
attorney is clothed for prosecuting fraudulent
bankrupts. 1t is the commercial community
chiefly who favor bankrupt laws. Such laws
should not be temporary expedients, but ope-
rate permanently and upon a matured system
in accordance with general principles OF law
and justice, modified by the local necessities of
each particular nation.

the local railroads have been fruitful eontribu-

ought at once TO require the removal of surface
tracks and the substitution of sunken or ele-
waited roads, where either is practicable, within
the city limits. The responsibility for NUM-
cipal legislation in Washington is upon Con-
gress, and that body should protect the capital,

councils defend the interests of other large
cities. Elsewhere the evil and danger Of grade

crossings in populous cities are gradually dis
appearing, and the railroads perform their use

gress must do something concerning the local
