LABRADOR TO WALES.
New Route from American Ranches
to English Markets.

PITTsBURG. Pa, January 23.-Hon. Clin-
ton L. Clark, of Otta, ex-member Of the Can
adian Parliament. was in the city today. In
an interview concerning the scheme to ship
all American cattle through Canada over
Canadian roads to the exclusion Of American
railroad interests, he says that there is moth
ing imaginary in the matter, and that 1t Is
one Of the greatest undertakings Canada has
known for a long time. The road will be
known as the North Canadian and Atlantic
Railroad and Steamship Company. 1t Is un-
dersto0d the capital represented Is S45.OO0,-
000 The eastern terminus of the road will
be at ST. Charles Bay, Labrador. 1t is cal
culated to save two days time In the trans
p0rtatiOn of cattle across the ocean. The
landing place will be at some point on the
west coast of Wales. The company had ap-
piled, or was about to apply, to the Do
minlOn legislature for a charter.

NOTES SECURED BY SILVER.
The New Issue Which the Bank of
England NAY Make.

WASHINGTON, January 23-The state
ment that the Bank of England is about to
begin the issue of notes to the value OF 9l
apiece against its silver reserve, that is, to
put on the money market what might be
called in this country silver certificates, has
caused a good deal of comment and specula-
tion here among those interested in financial
problems. The friends of silver see in the
proposed issue of notes boom" for their
favorite metal, and even some OF the more
conservative fDanciers are disposed to think
this new step significant one in the hnan'
cial policy OF Great Britain.
However, as the Bank of England has
| always had one quarter of its reserve in sill
| yer and was authorized to issue notes at any
time against this coin, the decision to put the
hoIeS INTO circulation now cannot be looked
on as altogethera startling innovation. There
| - d general agreement, nevertheless, that
InlS new move on the part of the Bank of
| england Will be helpful to the silver market,
| ana VIII tend TO raise the price of that metal
| 10 Slgnt extent. Senator Sherman's view
on the adoption by England of the silver GER
4 tificate policy will be one of general interest.
| When asked last evening If he Thought that
| the issue of silver notes was a significant de.
parture for the Bank of England, he an.
| swered:'
''The schemei is novel one in this sense
| that such ei notes have never vet beer
| issued, but the Bank of England has always
| had the right to issue notes against its re-
serve fund of coin, and one-quarter of that
reserve fund consists of silver. In this sense
| the proposed plan is not novel one, or, al
| least, it involves no new departure in hnan
| cial legislation, The issue OF such csrtid

THE ADMINISTRATIVE BILL
Causes a Lively Debate Between
Leaders In the House.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The House
today went into committee of the whole, Mr..
Burrows of Michigan, in the clair. on the
customs administrative bill. Mr.. Carlisl. of
Kentucky, regarded as an unjust proposition
that which imposes the same rate of duty
on goods brought here in damaged co ndi-
ton as on goods in perfect condition.
Mr.. Mckinley called attention to the fact
that the bill provides that any importer,
whose goods are damaged, may abandon the
goods to the United State and be relieved
from the payment of duty.
Mr.. Carlisle replied that that meant that
the government was so liberal to its citizens
it would allow them to give their damaged
goods to the United States for nothing.
Mr.. Mckinley said the administrative bill
was absolutely necessary for the honest ad-
Mr.. Dingley of Maine, contended that it
was just and equitable that the cost of pack
age necessary to fit goods for transportation
should be taken into consideration in the ap-
praiSement of the value of the goods.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky, argued that
the effect of the bill would be to increase in
every way the protection already granted
domestic manufacturers.
An amendment was adopted providing
that invoices be produced to the United
States consul, vice consul or commercial
agent of a consular district in which the
merchandise was manufactured or pur-
chased for export.
Section IL Of the bill defines more clearly
the elements of cost to be ascertained by tn g
appraiser when it is found imDracticable
otherwise to apprase the value of merchan-
disc. One element, according to the bill, is
a reasonable profit upon the total cost Mr..
Breckenridge of Arkansas, considered this
language indefinite, and upon his motion the
words reasonable profit" were stricken out
and the words "a profit of five per cent" in
| serted. An amendment was adopted pro
| vidng that the owner, importer, consignee
| or agent of merchandise subject to reap
| praisement by the board of general apprais-
ers. shall have the privilege of being present,
| with or without counsel.
Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania, acting under
| instructions from the committee of ways
| and means, offered an amendment to section
| Is, which provides for an appeal to the cir
| cult court and the United States Supreme
! Court for decision as to the construction of
1 the law, as to the classification of merchan-
| disc, providing that during the pending of
| any controversy or litigation about the
| amount of duties to be paid on anv imported
