Pine Straw and RamIe Manufacture.

Mr.. J.D. Stanley Of Eastover has ex-
hibited at the Register Office, some fine
samples of fibre prepared from pine
needles and from ramie. and ready to be
spun into a seryiceable fabric.
The Nsws and Courier has claimed for
q gentleman in Charleston the honor Of
successfully solving the problem of pre-.
pairing the bark Of the ramie plant so as
to be ready to be carded and spun, but
the honor OF previous solution would seem
to belong to Mr.. Stanley, who has been
experimenting in this direction for some
time, and has discovered chemical and
mechanical process by which to accom-.
plish the much desired end.
He some time ago achieved this con.
summation Of his Investigations and has
already applied for lei as patent covering
his process. and expects that his applica-
tion for a patent will be granted, if, in-
deed, it-has not already been.
The samples he shows are very inter-
esting, and the ramie fibre has silken
appearance, which makesit, when spun
and woven, very rich and handsome
fabric, capable of being died any color.
Mr.. Stanley has been enabled to per.
feet his process for preparing pine straw
fibre SO that he can produce it, ready for
spinning, at cost ofonly 81 ton. This
fibre can be made into cotton bsgging,
floor mating, ETC., and for either use it
compares favorably with the product
made from jute.
His machinery at Eastover has ca.
pacity for preparing one ton of pine straw
fibre ready for spinning per day. This
woven into bagging would be able to be
supplied at three cents yard, and reck-
oning six yards to the bale, the low cost
Of the new fabric and the great saving to

Successful Efforts of Lobby in Preventing It
Coming to First Reading.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 3.-An attempt
was made to have the telephone bill read
for the first time in the House this after
noon, but the watchful lobby was on the
alert, and Mr.. Merritt introduced an objec-
tiOn that prevented the measure from re-
ceiving unanimous consent. Less than
quorum of members were present, and the
House was according its unanimous con-
sent to various gentlemen for the purpose
of having bills read first time. Mr.. Baker
was fully conscious that any request from
him for the indulgence of the House would
arouse the suspicion of Mr.. Merritt and
other friends of the telephone monopoly,
as he agreed with Mr.. O'Donnell, of the
Democratic side, that the request should be
made by him. The plan promised to work
excellently, and when Mr.. O'Donnell un-
concernedly asked unanimous consent to
have Senate Bill 152 read first time, there
were cries of 'leave" from half dozen
members.

Later on Messrs. O'Donnell, Baker and

pared to defeat the consideration by de-
manding theyeas and nays. As there was not
quorum present, this would have been
fatal, but no opportunity was offered fol-
| the motion to suspend the rules.
Then the scale bill was taken up, and the
| lobby began stirring up discussion on that
measure in order to consume time, and
finally demanded the yeas and nays on

no quorum was found present, and wheI

swept away and drowned.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 3.-News of the
damage done at Tahiti by the storm caused
some excitement among those in this
city interested in the islands, but
they thought the account of the damage
had been exaggerated. The harbor at Pa
petite is inclosed by coral reef which
would keep off the waves, and the town is
surrounded with levee four feet high,
while the houses are elevated three feet
above this. On the more exposed portions
of the island the damage might be consid-
erable. If the storm had done damage at
Tahiti it must have devastated several
other islands further south. American in
terests on Tahiti represent capital of $780,
OOO. Matthew Turner, who has the agency
at Tahite, said he believed the news was
true. The islands are thickly populated,
and possibly thousands of natives were
drowned without loss of life occurring at
Papeite. At present there are four vessels
engaged in the trade, carrying French
mails-the Bonanza. City of Papeite,
