Representative Richardson, of Tennessee
who is chairman of the printing commit
tee, says that after the holidays the Joint
committee which has been investigating
the congressional printing during the
summer will submit report, showing
how hundred of thousands of dollars can
be saved. a mass of public printing is
done for which there is no vital need. and
this will be cut off. 1t is well known that a
great many of the public documents find
their way to the junk shops.
Will be Put on Honor.
If the printing committee has its way
the junk shops will suffer. The member
will be asked TO state upon his honor that
the documents which he receives will be
honestly and carefully distributed among
his constituents; otherwise his supply will
be curtailed. Another rule which allows
to each member a copy, bound in calf. of
every report and document presented to
either house of congress during his term,
will also be changed so as TO give to the
member only such bound copies as he
really desires. If he wants them all he
will, of course, receive them. but to most
of the congressman it will be a great re-
lief not to be burdened with a mass of un-
interesting and valueless matter

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The famine in
breadstuffs in Russia has attracted the at
tention of the United States government as
1t has that of every civilized country. Sec
retary Rusk has given it considerable
thought, and he and Senator Paddock have
hit upon an idea by which they propose to
do humanitarian act and at the same
time prove to the Russian authorities that
American corn is a first-class food product.
This government has been trying fol
twenty years to introduce corn abroad a.
food, without great success.
Great Scheme without Doubt.
Under the present condition of affairs
Secretary Rusx and Senator Paddock be-
heve Russia will gladly receive the cereal.
They propose that farmers of Kansas and
Nebraska and other western states shall
contribute toward huge trainload of
corn that shall he sent as a gift 1t can be
carried across the country free and probsr
bly, transported across the ocean. BY this
method several hundred tons of corn will
be sent to Russia and an excellent oppor
tunity of introducing it taken advantage
of. Senator Paddock will take immediate
steps TO put the idea into execution.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
Two In Chicago-The Building and Loan
SwindIe-Broker Backer Arrested.

CHIcAGo.Aug. iS.-Tbe ST. John d Marsh Co.,
lumber dealers, made voluntary assignment
today to Morton B. Hull. The company was or
ganized six years ago and did business in Kan
sas and Colorado. The face value of the assets
is s253,O00. and they will certainly realize $780,,
900. The liabilities are $4,000. The failure is
due to stringency of the money market and the
fact that the recent failure OF the Peters Lumber
Company and the Howell Company have made
ii difficult for lumbermen to get accommoda-
tions at banks. The attorney for the firm asserts
that it will pay dollar for dollar if given time
Postoffice Inspector Stuart late last night re-
ceived a dispatch from W. F. Mortimer, the
late secretary of the National Capital Savings,
Building and Loan Association of North Amer
ica, dated Minneapolis, stating he was leaving
for Chicago. Stuart went to the deport this
morning TO meet him, but ne came not. The in-
spector thinks he changed his mind when he
learned that there was warrant out for his
arrest. Receiver Filkins, of the insolvent con-
cern today demanded and received from the
postmaster all the letters addressed to ii, which
have been received since Morrimers disappear
ance. They are supposed to contain remittances,
which will be returned TO the senders.
Joseph Bros & Co., dealers in dry goods, con-
fessed judgments this morning amounting to
$4,000 The firm claims to have stock of
goods worth from $4,000 to $4,000 Besides the
judgments confessed the firm is indebted to
merchandise creditors for $500 or thereabouts.

WAS PILLsBURys PINCHED?
The Minneapolis Miller Said to BE Over
loaded With Wheat


CHICAGO, Aug. 13.--A dispatch from Duluth.
Minn., says that in the last three months there
has been one lot OF 100000 bushels OF wheat
sent East via Duluth by Minneapolis parties,
and that the shipment and consignment Of 500,-
600 bushels that has now passed through here,
have caused a good deal of speculation. The
Herald says it is being sent out of the country by
Pllsbury, and that every bushei represents q
loss to the big English syndicate running the
Minneapolis mills OF 20 cents. Last fall Pills
bury was persistent bull and loaded up with
great quantity at prices from s.. 10 to $ll9
bushel. good part of the year he has carried
as high as 40, 100000 bushels. short time ago
the Minneapolis syndicate found itself with
enough wheat to make 100000 barrels of flour
right on the eve of the biggest crop the United
Stutes has ever seen, and with the stuff worth
about 90 cents bushei. Some of this wheat had
TO be gotten out of the way, hence this shipment
of ZOO, 900 bushels.

ing that a large amount of grain had been
shipped through that point from Minneapolis to
the East alt is a malicious falsehood" said he,
evidently promulgated by some one desiring to
do injury to my business He says the figures
are of the grossest and widest exaggeration,
both as to cost and amount. He purchased what
wheat he required for milling on the markets
every week in the year at an average cost below
the present prices. The total requirements of
his mills are over 15,000,0 600 bushels per annum,
If the mills run uninterruptedly, and the pur-
chases have not been in excess of this amount.
All the millers in Minneapolis have not pur-
chased the amount stated in the dispatches dur
ing the past year, and little wheat has been pur-
chased at the prices named. The great bulk has
been bought below 81 a bushel, which is about
the present value OF old wheat in Minneapolis

Polk to the Maryland Farmers.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 13.-Todays session of the
Farmers Alliance was taken up with routine
work and two addresses by President Polk, who,
among other things, said
For twenty-five years / have been i'm public
life. / never found myself fighting in the front
rank of Gods noblemen until strnck the Farm
ers' Alliance. Let stand by our principles
until the last man falls in the fight, and then
Men, citizens, farmers. stand together for every
principle of our organization, and glorious tri-
umph awaits US. They told us there was diyi-
sion in our rBnks at the polls Those who pro-
claim divisions did not know us. There was no
division. We do not know what they are, thank
God, and in that spirit will proclaim and fight
for the triumph of our principles.
All the old officers were reelected except
State Lecturer Bradley. Mrs. Guttiek took his
place. The last act of the convention was the
adoption of resolution that the Maryland
farmers are in no way antagonistic to United
States Senator German
