Judge John A. Williams appointed Thos.

quarters in this city, however, it was
learned from the su5ordinates that the
appointment of a receiver gives general
pleasure to the employees, who now expect
to get salaries and wages regularly. Under
the laws of this state the employees wages
are the first lien upon the receipts of any
enterprise for which they labor 1t is ex-

the management of the company's affairs,
said that he considered the receivership a
good thing for the company. He denied

selling his $ ock. He is still large hold

will be benefited by the change in man

could not otherwise be accomplished.

for Six Months.
In the senate the first contribution to
congressional financial literature was
made by Gordon of Georgia. He intro
duced bill to suspend the tax on state
bank currency for six months and said it
would end the panic in fifteen days. 1t
would enable the banks of Savannah, for
instance, to issue for the time being their
individual notes to be used as money, and
these would move the cotton crop and
start the wheels of commerce. in the
southern states. The bill was referred to
the finance committee.
Voorhees, reported favorably his bill to
allow banks to issue currency to the par
value of their bonds, stating that ne be-
lieved it would increase the currency to
the amount of fifty or sixty millions. He
wanted 1t considered at once, but Cockrell
objected, saying that number of senators
desired to be heard on the bill. He de-
clared that we have just as much money
in the country as we ever had. He would
-'never, never give his consent toa bill
that gave national banks the control of
the paper money of the country. Voorhees,
gave notice that he would move today to
put the bill on its passage.
Lodge Their made speech on his reso-
committee at once to repeal the Sherman
act. He said that nearly all the mills in
New England were idle and that while
there was such state of affairs be be-
