THE UNIFORM BILL OF LADING

Modified by the Railroads at the Demand
of the shippers.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Shippers throughout
the United States have gained victory
over the railroads in receiving modifca-
tion Of the uniform bill of lading. The
concession made by the carriers consists in
striking out the words mot negotiable" !"
against which the chief complaint was
made. At a meeting of the joint commit
tee of the trunk lines and central traffic as
sociation and representatives of lake and
rail lines, which was held in this city to-
day, the subject was fully discussed in the
light of the objections raised by the COM
mercial organizations Of the country,
Some roads threatened to discontinue the use
of the new bill of lading unless it
were adopted by all lines, a. theDshippers
we're now discriminating in favor of the
Grand Trunk, Wabash and four lake lines
that had refused to adopt it in it's present
form. Chairman Blanchard. of the Central
Trafac association. strongly recommended
that the words mot negotiable be stricken
out. The recommendation was unanimous
II concurred in, and thus amended the bill
Of lading was adopted by all lines, to take
effect Sept. l. The representatives of the
Grand Trunk and Wabash accept
also did all the lake lines.
No action was taken in regard to the other
objections that have been urged against the
bill of lading. but the permanent commit
tee on un form bill of lading Vas instructed
70 take them mp at the earliest possible
DAY. This pfactically settles the fight.
The amendment makes it neQotiable nener
and bankers will NO longer refuse to sd-
vance money ON it.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 14.-Twenty-five
thousand barrels of burning whisky at the
Kentucky distillery caused one of the most
disastrous fires which has ever visited Lou
isville. A rough estimate made at noon
while the flames were still roaring furious
ly, placed the total loss at fully &8OO. .OOO
The flames caught from lamp to leaking

sisted of an immense distillery containing
machinery for the manufacture of whisky.
extending back from the street $50 feet and
three stories in height. Adjoining it were
two large warehouses, where there was
stock of $500 barrels of whisky, and all of
it was fully consumed. 1t was fully in
sured.
Il was O'Clock before the fremen got
control and this was not until the immense
warehouse, distillery property. cattle sheds
and slauphter house and pork packing

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE first business
in order was the vote in sustaining the de-
cision of the chair overruling the point Of
order made by Springer, Of Illinois, that
the Nat Mckay relief bill must be consid-
cred in committee of the whole. The de-
cision was sustained. Yeas, III; nays, 81,

Kay bill.
Il was soon found there was no quorum
present and the house adjourned.
In the senate the tariff bill was
taken up, the pending question being on
Vests amendment to reduce the duty on
tin plate.
Mitchell addressed the senate in defense
two which the republican party stands COM
mitted.
Plumb gave notice of an amendment
which he would offer, to strike out the pro-
vision imposing duty on tin plate and add
provision to pay to the manufacturers OF
tin plate made in the United States boun-
great doubt as to the effect of the PROPOSE
ton of the finance committee. He doubted
very much that it would permanently intro
duce into this country the manufacture of
tin plates in quantities sufficient
for domestic consumption. He had no
doubt that in time, if the manufacture of
try, one of the results would be to reduce
the price, but he did not find in the present
situation any ground for reasonable pre-
sumption that there would be in one year,
or five years, or ten years, enough tin plate
made in the United States to meet the local
demand. Hefwas willing TO .beg of and to
ask those men who were now preparing to
manufacture tin plate not to exercise the
power which they had got in American con-
Rreas and not TO force an increase Of the
duty on all tinware used in the country,
ON every tin cup, on every tin plate and
coffee pot, and on every yard of tin roofing
in United States, and instead of an increased
duty to take bounty on one cent a
pound. or two cents if necessary. If they
were reasonable men they ought to be will
ing to do that. After considerable debate
q vote was taken and Vests amendment
was rejected. Plumb offered the amend
ment of which he had given notice, to
strike out the clause imposing duty of 90
cents pound on tin plate, (reserving
other part of proposition as to bounty but
finally Withdrew it and offered another
making the duty on tin plate one cent a
pound and providing bounty of one cent
9 pound on tin plate manufactured in the
United States. Without action on the
amendment the senate adjourned.
