BUSINESS VS.. GAMBLING.
Forbes, of Duluth, and Howard, of
St. Louis, Talk.

ST. Louis, Talk.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-Mr. Forbes,
of the Duluth board of trade, appeared
before the house committee on agricult-
ure today with an argument against
the passage of the proposed anti-OptionS
bill. Its passage, he contended, would
demoralize the gram trade of the whole
coun try, and especially that portion of

CATION TO transport products to market.
Fifteen or twenty years ago Dakota and
Minnesota raised but little wheat ;.iouay
they raise One-Quarter of the entire crop
OF the country. In the meantime the
wheat fields OF Australia and India had
been largely extended and competition
had become very great. The fall in the
price Of wheat was attributable to this
fact and not TO speculation in the arti-
Gle, which, on the contrary, had tend
ency to strengthen prices.
The chairman stated that the position
of the committee was that when wheat
was placed in an elevator but one re-
celpt could he given. The holder of
that elevator receipt was the owner of
the property. wherever 1t was situated.
Mr.. Howard, a merchant of st. Louis,
favored the bill. declaring that the deal
Ing III futures was the most subtle kind
OF gambling that had ever emanated
from the brain of man. 1t was the
greatest curse that had ever struck
America. The grain ring was the strong
est ring in existence III the country. and
was impoveriShing the nation. This
question rose above politics or religion,
for any politics or religion which per-
mitted poor man to be deprived of the
fruit Of his toll did not deserve to be
sustained. He did not want to cripple
commerce in any way; he desired to
prevent gambling.

on THE CALENDAR.
Speaker Crisp Puts Bland's Bill
in Line

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.--The most
significant event in the proceedings of
the house today was the report of the
Bland free coinage bill by the commit
tee on coinage, weights and measures.
The action was not one which involved
0ebate, as the bill merely went on the
calendar to be taken up in the order of
its consideration, but it indicated the
intention of the free coinage men to
force the bill with all possible haste.
Indeed, Representative Pearce. Chair
man Bland and other leaders of the free
coinage movement in the house assert
that the measure will be pressed to
vote and actually passed by the house
within the next sixty days. In this
event there iSno doubt the senate will
have an opportunity of passing upon
the Bland bill long before the date of
either of the great national conventions.
The house also today ordered an in
vestigation of the pension bureau as
managed by Commissioner Raum. The
scope of the investigation is made much
broader than that of previous inquiries.
and Messrs. Enloe, of Tennessee, and
Cooper of Indiana, as the instigators of
the Investigation, will be expected to
furnish the evidence and practically
COiuuCI lle uSHI against lH6 present
administration OF the bureau.
Mr. Bacon, of New York, from the
committee on banking and currency.
called up the bill for the better control
and to promote the safety of national
banks. j. d. Taylor, of Ohio, said that
In his Judgment the measure would
block the wheels of business and would
do no good whatever. No law of con
gress had ever made 4 dishonest man
honest; and if man wished to he
aishoneSJ he could be so under
this legislation as we'll as under
the present law. Mr.. Walker of
Massachusetts,, favored the bill as
providing safeguards against improneT
borrowing from the banks. Pending
demand for the previous question the
morning hour expired, the point of no
quorum having been made against the
demand.
The house then went into committee
OF the whole CIR. McCreary, of Ken
tucky, in the chair on the military
academy bill. Several members de-
bated the question prol and con, during
which, in speaking to a verbal amend
ment, Mr.. Compton, OF Maryland, in
weighed against the desperate and
trembling" czar of the last congress and
against the eXtrayagant appropriations

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. O-Represent-
atives of syndicates at st. Louis and
San Francisco have been in Duluth
lately comforting with Capt. Alex Nc
Dougall, inventor of the whaletack
style of steamers. The st. Louis people

they stand ready to buy and op-

If anything comes of these projects st.

men from Fort Wingate, with pack
mules, passed Coolidge on their way to
Sad Antonio ranch with orders to re-
main there several days and be ready to
quell any hOstilities on the part of the
Indians. This evening everything is
reported quiet at and in the vicinity of

The soldiers will remain there as long

TIMBER LAND ENTRIES,
Commissioner Carter Institutes a
AN New Procedure.

~ New Procedure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-In the mat
ter of government proceedings against
alleged fraudulent timber land entries
in Washington Oregon and California,
the commissioner Of the general land
Office, with the approval of the secre-
tary of the interior, has instituted
change of procedure by which parties
claiming lille to these lands will here
after be required to produce the original
entrymen and their witnesses at the
local land offices for further eXamina
tion with reference to any contracts or
arrangements which may have been
made prior to the entry for the convey
ance of the land to corporations or syn
dicates.
1t appears from the records of the
general land Office that large tracts of
valuable timber land in different local
tiles have been entered on the same day
by large number of persons and i'm
medlately thereafter all the parties
have transferred TO syndcates. 1t is
now confidently asserted by these syn-
dicateS that the government cannot
prove that the entries were originally
made in their interests. This new order
is made with view to simplifying the
procedure in such cases.

MORTON AND RUSK.
Some Senators See Merit in Such a
Ticket

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-A group of
senators. discussing the presidential
outlook, evolved a new ticket, which
seemed to find considerable favor This
ticket is Morton and Rusk." AS is we'll
known, Mr.. Morton.is held in high es-
TEEN by the senators on both sides of
the chamber. and many Republicans
would be glad to see him placed at the
head of the ticket, not only for personal
reasons, bnt because they recognize that
his singularly pure record, his probity.
and his extended circle of friends would
make him an available candidate in any
sense, while his conservatism on finan-
clal questions and his success as busi-
ness man would attract the commercial
centers of the East to him. Secre tarv
RuSk. of course, is popular with the az
ricultural classes, and his name has al
ready been suggested on account of
the strength with which he would de-
velop in the Western and prairie states.

Hotel accommodations.
it appears that arrangements are being
made to convert a number of new and
as yet but partially occupied Office build
ingS into temporary hotels for the time
of the convention. These buildings are
magnificent structures and of mammoth
proportions. Contracts are being made
for furnishing these Offices for sleeping
rooms. for headquarters of delegations,
etc. in manner and to an extent that
will triple the ordinary hotel accommo-
datiOns of the city.
A canvass of the city is being made to
ascertain what rooms in private resi-
dences can be secured for the accommo-
dation of visitors to the convention. A
directory of these will then be made,
and committees for correspondence with
delegations and with visitors generally
have already been appointed, and ar
rangements are being made for
meeting the trains an hour
or two before they arrive in
Minneapolis and guiding visitors to the
places in which they will be quartered
during the convention. In fact, it ap-
pears almost as if visitors to the conven-
ton at Minneapolis would be better
cared for than they would be if they
were to come to city with as many
hotels as Chicago, where evesy one
would be left to his own devices TO find
the best quarters he could. Very truly
yours, d. ADLER.
