Mr.. Hurst's Measure Advanced.

Mr.. Hurst's savings bank bill was adj
vanced considerably in the house yester,
day. Among yesterdays Springfield dis
patches to the Chicago Herald is this:
Mr.. Stoskopf, secured a suspen-
sion OF the rules for the second read
ing of Hurst's savings bank bill that had
just come back from the printer. Pend
ing the reading, Hunter, of Knox. moved
an adjournment This proposition was
voted down and the speaker ordered the
clerk to proceed with the reading. The
old bill was bitterly opposed by many
members on account OF its exemption
from taxation of the assets of banks or
gained thereunder This clause has
been eliminated and does not appear in
MIR. Hurst's measure. Wiley Jones said
the bill had never been in committee and
moved its reference to the committee on
banks and banking, The house, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Paddock, tabled this motion.
Pike, of Mclean, thought it was danger,
Gus at this late day for the house 10 at
tempt to pass savings bank bill. He
then moved to strike out the enacting
words of the bill. Jones thought the
measure should be killed. Mr.. Crafts said
the original bill was defeated on account
OF its provision exempting the assets of
the bank from taxation. The new bill was
unobiectionable on that ground. Mr..
Wells asked for the reference of the bill,
that it might be properly considered in
committee. Meyer. of Cook, and Mr..
Stoskopf and Hunter, of Winnebago,
made little speeches in favor of the bill.
Mr.. McElligott, of Cook, thought the bill
should be defeated at once, because he
regarded it as very suspicious measure
Browne. of LaSalle, made little talk, in
which he said the bill was opposed by
monopolistic bankers and money loaners.
There should be savings banks in the
west, that the people might be educated
to lay aside their earnings. Greene. of
Alexander, said fight against the bill
should be made on third reading Mr.
Pike intimated that some doodle" bank
desired to unload its fictitious and worth
less assets, and he hoped IL would be de.
feated. The motion to knock out the
enacting words was lost by vote of
yeas % to nays 81. and the bill sent to
third reading.

The DacaI Jim-JamS.
Alleged Secret of a Royal Brit

TOLD BY A SPANISH JOURNALIST

After All the Flour MiIls-Germsn Con-
cessions In the Samoan Afair-Foreign
News Notes.
LONDON, May 22-The action of the Mad
rid court of justice in passing sentence OF
four months Imprisonment upon Senior Ra-
iael Corrome, the well-known Spanish novel
list and journalist. for writing and causing to
be published libel upon the Duke OF Edin-
borough, creates good deal of talk at the
clubs The article which was written while
the duke was with the British squadron at
Barcelona, was filed with statements con-
corning his private life, and appeared in
large type in the leading Republican news
papers in Valencia The prince was very
anxious that the matter should be hushed up,
but the public prosecutor thought differently
and the unucky journalist is now paying
penance for his sensation.
The "Juke" Had the Jim jams.
Copies of the paper, however, had in the
meantime found their way to certain club
rOyStererS In London, WHO are always on Une
qui vive for anything with salacious flavor,
and society is now fairly reveling in Senior
Corromes revelations. No English paper
has so far dared to print the current rumor
that the fever and attack of nervous prostra-
ton which necessitated the bringing home of
his royal highness by special steamer was in
reality an attack of what among common
people would be designated as the "jin-
jams" The details, too, of the princes ar
rival at Portsmouth have been colored by
The Court Journal to meet the usages of
polite society. The truth is that, although
the Duchess of Edinburg was waiting on the
jetty when the Alexandria steamed into
Portsmouth harbor at 10 o'clock at night,
she was not allowed to see her sick husband.
He Had n Relapse
He had suffered slight relapse so the
doctor said, and could not be disturbed. 1t
was probable, moreover, that several days
would elapse before he would be equal to the
fatigue of a railroad journey. Yet the next
morning this very sick man was so much i'm
proved that he was able to walk to the ira
and to make the entire journey to London
without interruption. The bulletins issued
on the morning after his arrival announced
that he was greatly improved" and in a
few days, thanks to the watchful eye of the
duchess he was as well as ever.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May o2-The interest felt
here in cheap fuel is intensified by the exper-
iments now going on at the establishment of
Moorhead q Brother, by which pulverized
coal is brought into actual competition by
the process controlled by E~astus Wiman, of
New York. 1t has been running for a week
at these works, with remarkable results. 1t
is claimed that 1900 pounds of iron were
drawn in an hour with IA charge of 700 pounds
of coal, which is alleged to be the cheapest
run ever made because the refuse coal which
is used costs less than 50 cents per ton. A
public test is to be made ON the 9th, at which
Mr. Wiman and his associates are TO be pres

shelving Their Colors

Last year a committee of the republi-
can New York senate started out with a
great flourish of trumpets to investigate
trusts. for the purpose, it was pretended,
of devising measures for the report just
filed by its republican majority. The pre-
tended inquiry was for the purpose of
quilting the people, and next of frying the
fat out of the trusts for campaign Doodle
by threats of hostile legislation.
Since there is no longer any reason for
keeping up appearances, the republican
members of the committee have presented
a report in which they defend the trusts
as the natural and necessary outcome of
trade development. In conclusion they
assert that trusts and mOnopOlies are a
blessing, while free competition is dan
gerous evil. In consideration OF the
benefcent character of the trusts, they
recommend no hostile legislation. In
other words they adopt the Blaine-Car-
negie idea, that trusts care private affairs,
with which nobody has any right to in
terfere." The democratic members diss
sent from the conclusions of the majority
in toto.
Contrast this with the pledges of the
republican national platform on trusts.
1t declared opposition to all combina
tions of capital organized in trusts or
otherwise to control arbitrarily the con-
ditions of trade among our citizens, "
and urged upon congress and the state
legislatures such legislation as will pre-
vent the execution of all schemes to OPP
press the people by undue charges on
their supplies. etc. Contrast it also with
the pledges of Harrison's letter of &C.
ceptance. He declared that under the
operations of the trusts "the wage
Garner alone suffers" and that 1.-The leg
islatures should and would find means by
which these and like evils shall be effect
lively suppressed"
No doubt the masses of the republican
voters accepted these declarations as sins
cere, but the trusts and monopolies were
not in the least alarmed by them. Every
where their members contributed as lib
orally to the republican campaign fund
and to campaign work as did the member
of the linseed oil trust in this district
They understood that the promises were
made simply to gull the people and would
never be redeemed. The lsudstiOn of
trusts by the republican New York sen.
ate committee shows how we'll the menu
bers of trusts and beneficiaries of mos
nopolies understood the republican plat
form and its leaders. Burlington Ga

The r. P.Porter Who Is In Possession Not
the Intended Census Superintendent.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 22.-Mr. Porter,
the superintendent of the census, has discov-
cred that he has a namesake living in Indi-
ana: In fact, his attention was called to the
matter by the gentleman himself, who wrote
to inform Superintendent Porter that the
president evidently intended to appoint him,
but that he would waive all claim TO the Do
sition providing that the emoluments of the
Office we're equally divided with him. The
Indiana Porter says that he was in the Sixty
ninth Indiana regiment. He mentions this
fact and others as a reason for believing that
he was the man whom the president intended
to have the Office Of superintendent of the
census.

The CHATTANOOGA Meeting.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 22-The re-
port of the committee on cooperation with
the northern church was read in the South
ern Presbyterian assembly yesterday with a
recommendation for its adoption. The com.
mittee on the state of the church noted a
falling off in attendance in the large cities,
and recommended the abolition of night
services and the substitution therefor of
afternoon mission meetings. This suggestion
was stricken out. The committee also urged
the more careful observance of family wor-
ship, and a closer regard for the evangelical
ton of the negro, to which end they called
upon the white clergy to go into the field.
The Woodrow case was debated at length,
but nothing done. Encouraging reports
were heard from returned missionaries
