LEGISLATION GALORE.
Congress Will Do Lot OF Hasty
Work This Week.

WAsHINGTo N, Feb. 26.-The closing
week of the Fifty-second congress will
be characterized by rush of legislation
that has seldom been equaled. AS there
is not time for all the many public and
private measures near completion to
pass. they must antagoniZe each other,
and opposed to them all in both houses
will stand the appropriation committees
urging immediate action upon the great
measures i'll their charge. The present
condition of these bills is follows: The
Notifications bill is law; the army bill
Is before the president for signature;
. the military academy and the
District of Columbia bills are
in conference; the sunday civil,
the diplomatic and consular and the
legislative bills have passed both
ference stage, the pension bill has
passed the house and been reported to
the senate, and the naval, agricultural,
postoffice and deficiency bills are await
Ing action at the hands of the senate
committee on appropriations. In the
senate the naval bill will probably come
up Monday. The agricultural and post
Office bills are expected to be reported
by Tuesday. and The deficiency bill
about the middle of the week. They
will be taken up for action as fast as
reported. Meantime. consideration of
these bills and of other pending meas
ures will be suspended from time to
time to allow the disposition OF confer
euce reports In this condition of affairs,
matters OF general legislation can
hardly receive much attention, but. if
opportunity offers Senator Teller will
endeayor to call up his revised Nc
Garrahan bill: Mr.. Carey may make an
other effort . secure consideration for
his omnibus statehood bill, and Senator
Blackburn gill probably strive to Sc
cure the Sage of the New York and
New jersey bridge bill as it came from
the house.
There seems to be set purpose to
prevent any further executive sessions
of the senate if possible. This will
serve three-fold purpose-defeat ac-
ton on tie nomination of Judge
Hanchstt; prevent reconsideration of
the vote by which the nomination of
congressman Findlay, of Maryland, as
Chilian arbitrator was rejected, ana
ShelYe the Hawaiian treaty Of anneXa-
tion for this session.
In the house advantage will be taken
of the rule permitting action during the
last SIX days or session, under SuSpen-
sion of the rules. to rush forward busi-
ness of an urgent nature. A number OF
measures of paratively little inter-
est may be thus passed, but the indica-
tions are that it will be necessary to
give most of the time to the appropria-
ton bills. Unless an amicable under
standing can be privately reached with
reference to the course to be taken with
the Sherman bond amendment to the
sundry civil bill, it is probable that it
will be moved, under suspension of the
rules, to send all the amendments to :
conference with formal nom concurrence
recommended. 1t is believed that two
thirds yGte can be secured for this mo-
ton. By the adoptionof this course the
long delay over The numerous anend-
ments of no special interest in tli, N
selves would be avoided, leaving oily

EvANGELIzlNG FRANCE.
The Sum OF $4,000 Needed for
the Work.

New YORK, Feb .26.-The evangelical
ton of France was the theme discussed
at meeting held this afternoon in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.
With Dr. Hall in the pulpit were T.
Necker. vice president of the Evan
gelical Society of Geneva, and Rev.
E. J. Dupuy, pastor of the Reformed
Church of Paris. The sum of $4,000 is
needed 10y the four Evangelical socie-
ties of Europe now carrying on evan
gelical work among the French Cath
olics, and this sum the societies hope to
raise among the Protestants IN America.
In opening, DR.. Hall said that a consld-
cradle sum of money had already been
subscribed and much more was prom
ised.
america owes much to France"
said DR.. Hall, for from the sturdy
HuguenotS, who were driven from their
own home and settled in America, came
some of the best men today among us. !"
Nir. Necker said he had come to this
country with others to secure money
for the work of evangeliZing France.
There is. and always has been, he said,
great opposition to the work of Prot
eStants in France. but that, III spite Of
difficulties, much good work was being
done. and that one of the objects Of his
coming here was to open an Office i'll
New York. in fact, to organize an evan
gelical society, which shall be open
daily for the receipt of contributions
for the work.
Rev. E. j. Dupuy followed Mr.. Neck
er with an outline of the work which
has been done and is being done IN
France. He said that the work was
begun in 1881 and has been steadily
going on ever since, though at times it
seemed as If no headWay was being
made. Today, after over sixty years of
work, there are only 100000 Protestants
in France, and 100000 Roman Catho-
lies.
The American committee appointed
for this work consists of the Rev. ID. j..
Burrell, d. d.. president; the Rev. Dr..
S. Ii. Virgin. vice president; the Rev.
E. j. Dupuy, secretary; Frederick A.
Booth. treasurer.

UNCLE JERRY ON HOGS.
The Secretary of the Soil advises
American Farmers to Raise
Porkers.
He Gives Some of the Reasons for
the Faith That Is in
Him.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. - Secretary
Rusk, of the department of agriculture,
saws that farmers in all parts of the
country are inquirlng as to the probable
profit of feeding corn to hogs at present
prices. He desires to state that the
prospect of large returns from judicious
hog feeding has seldom been as
bright as now. In average years
it takes about nine pounds of hogs,
live weight, to bring the price
of a bushel of corn. This year
five pounds of hogs bring as much as a
bushel of corn. If ten pounds of pork
are made from bushel of corn. which
may be taken as fair return, then the
present prices of hogs would make corn
bring about So cents Dushel if fed to
these animals. which IS about twice as
much as it is now quoted at on the Chi
cago market. Instead OF sending pigs
and half-fat hogs to market, as thou
sands have done, only to find that such
animals were uufit Tor packing and
would bring but a comparatively small
plice, these animals should be kept on
the farm and fattened OIL the corn
which is now so cheap in comparison
with present prices OF pork. The high
price of hogs is largely due tethe meat in
spection carried on by the department of
agriculture, which opened the markets OF
Europe and enabled shippers to send the
surplus hog products out Of the country.
Following this came shortage in the
hog crop. The number of hogs packed
this winter is not only less than il has
been previously, but the hogs we're
lighter in weight, So that there has been

MATT ONAL BANK ACT.
New Y ork's superintendent Makes
a Suggestion in Regard
to 1t.
He Doesn't Look Favorably on
the Proposed 10 Per Cent
Repeal.

New YORK. Feb. 26.-The annual re-
port of Hon. Charles M. Preston, super
intendent of banks of the state of New
York, on discount banks, which is to be
submitted to the legislature Tuesday,
devotes considerable space to discus
sion of the state bank tax question.
MIR. Preston says that the proposed re-
peal by congress Of the 10 per cent tax
on state bank circulation would find
twenty-eight of the forty-four states Of
the Union not fully prepared, and six
to avail themselves of the rel eff.
Possibly the adoption by congress of a
system of safety fund" similar to
that formerly operating in this state,
the assurance of redemption for the
notes of insolyent banks might be made
to rest upon small percentage of the
aggregate capital OF all the national
banks, so that as the capital Of the ma
tiOnal banks increases from time 10 time
the "safety fund" will increase in like
proportion. If congress shall neglect
the demand Of the Democratic platform
and refuse the repeal Of the 10 per cent
tax Oh state bank-note issues. it then be-
comes almost Immediately important to
determine what shall succeed the ma
tional bank note as now provided for,
if bank notes are to be q
part of the circulating medium
of the United States hereafter.
Mr.. Preston concludes as follows:
Suppose congress should amend the
national banking act so as to leave the
supervision and examination Of the ma
tional banks to their respective states
and continue the bureau of the comp
treller of the currency simply for the
purpose of issuing circulating notes to
any bank upon its depositng with the
comptroller of the bonds of the United
States or of any state of the Union
which has not defaulted in the payment
of its obligations within ten years, or
the bonds Of any city of any state Of
the United States (Which shall not have
defaulted as aforesaid) having $4,000
inhabitants or over and which has
never defaulted in the payment of
any Of its Obligations, and whose bonded
indebtedness does not exceed per cent
of its assessed valuation, and providing
that notes should be issued to the par
value of these bonds, would our bank
ing system for practical purposes be
less secure, and would it not be more
elastic and much better suited to the
needs of the people than at the present
time?n

MOVE TO THE FRONT.
Senator Morgan Asserts That
Uncle Sam Isn't Aggressive
Enough.
Great Opportunities of the Past
and Some of Those Con-
fronting Us.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-In honor or
Senator Morgan, who sailed on the New
York yesterday, committee of we'll
known merchants and others gathered
upon the deck of the American liner tG
wish the senator Godspeed. Replying
to an address made by the chairman of
the committee, Mr.. Morgan spoke in
part as follows:
M 1T is singular that at this time there
are grouped together three immense
propositions relating to that great body
of water-the Behring sea arbitration,
which may also be said to involve the
whole North Pacific; the Nicaragua
canal, in which l had the happiness to
be identified, because | knew good
thing when | saw it, and then, coming
upon us suddenly, the Hawaiian prop
oSitiOn.
1.-The three together must convince
all thinking men that there never was
moment in the history Of this govern
ment, saving the period of our civil
war, when so much wisdom, courage,
manhood and intrepidity, foresight and
determined American pluck were neces-
Sary as just now.
''We have come to pivotal point in
American destiny-a moment when we
must go back or forward. We cannot
take middle ground.
''In thinking of the Pacific ocean and
our duty in connection with it, 1 don't
want to see repeated what was perpe-
trated upon us at the time when we ac
quired our independence. Though
France was at our back, we did not
have the foresight to acquire all that
belonged to us. We did not take New
foundland, the Bahamas, Bermuda. tho
Windward islands, Jamaica and all tho
territory known to Yucatan.
"Why should people of 35,0O0.000
hold against people of 65,000.000 all
these Islands on which they have spent
more than "a for every inch OF ground?
Well, we cannot help 1t; they bave the
islands, and they never give up anything
that is good. | am not crltlcising them.
| admire them. / wish Americans to be
as much like them as p0ssiDle-only
more so.
Great Britain has alrendy planted
herself III Australia and New Zealand,
and is now approaching the Sandwich
ISlands-that Gibraltar of the Pacific.
Only recently she raised her flag OIL one
of these islands, and at the present time
the Hawaiian government and our own
are protesting against that occupation.
"Let me ask you, when they get there
and complete the chain, including Van
couver. Victoria, Hawaii, Hong Kong,
New Zealand and Australia, will wa
not then see repeated in the Pacific that
miserable, despicable policy which was
perpetrated in the Atlantic when therd
was nothing left but for us 10 put ths
eastern islands into the bill of sale-thg
treaty?
"Witl these three great questions con-
fronting us - the Nicaraguan canal,
Behrlng sea arbitration and Hawaii. the
last ready to drop into our laps like
ripe pear--WG have need of that spirit
of manhood and energy and endurance
which was so superbly developed when
we were fighting one another, with a
million men in the field. Then we shall
see the outcome Of the power and spirit
of great people on a great occasion.
Let us move to the front"

NoRrHFIELD, Mlnn., Feb. 20. The
Sabbath quiet of this little city was
rudely disturbed by report of a shot
gun and the discovery that Eugene
Blood. one of the best known young
men of Northfeld, had killed himself.
There is a woman in the case, and the
suicide was the result Of the tickleness
of woman's love. Young Blood had been
going with a young lady living about
six miles from the city, and the affair
seemed to progress favorably till the
first of last week, when the two had
a quarrel. Blood went out there
today, presumably to make up
with the girl, but evidently did
not succeed. He went at once to his
room on returning, and was writing
when his father entered. In response
to a question as to what he was writing,
Blood made no reply, and his father
left the room. Immediately on shutting
the door he heard a shot, and, rushing
in, saw his son prOStrate on the hoor.

popular young man. The coroner has
been summoned from Faribault.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The United

year 1892. They show an enormously
Increased volume of both wheat and rye

rose to first place in 1892, the amount or
wheat purchased from the United

1900 to 23.065, ,705 bushels last year. The
importations from the United States in
1892 were nearly half of the whole

there were forty-nine polling stations.
AS the referendum was entirely unof-

might be obtained in the district. De-

although there was no disorder.
In Brussels some $4,000 votes were cast.
A large majority favored NJ. Jansen's

The Socialists voted for it to man.
The Catholics and the more moderate

greater than here. Although the op-

said
"The appointment was made by Judge

is probably more converSant with the
condition Of the road and its financial
complications than any man in Philadel-
phia. Judge Dallas is the last man in
the world who would be influenced by
any unworthy consideration in appoint
ing the receivers, and the fact that he
named President Mcleod. with Messrs.
PaXson and Wilbur. showed that he
looked upon Mr.. Mcleod as the tittest
man for the place. So you may be sure
that Mr.. Mcleod will retain his posi-
