passed. The quarantine bill was then
taken mp and discussed. Chandler, repub-
lican, of New Hampshire, spoke about three
hours. devotinR most of his argument to
the bill to suspend immigration, which
measure he favored. In the course of his
speech Chandler spoke of the inoonsistenoy
of admitting ten dollar immigrants and
excluding self-supporting, industrious men
under the labor contract law. Referring
to the North German Lloyd Steamship
company, Mr.. Chandler said it is the favor
lite route of the secretary Of the treasury,
assistant treasurer, commissioner OF immi-
grafton and other treasury officials when
they 90 abroad, and it always has been very
kind to them. 1t had always, he said,
given them the very best accommo-
dations and il they got short of
money while. on the other side
and congress- had been negligent about
providing means for their support over

the assistance of the North German Lloyds
to carry out the provision not to bring 2, 200
passengers on one steamship, and he in
voked in all sincerity the newspaper press
Of the country to aid him in the great work
of beneficence and humanity. After fur

CRASH AT SIOUX CITY.

Sioux CRY. Iowa, Jan. 6.-The Leeds
Land improvement company, of this city.
failed to-day, with Liabilities of $500 900,
and assets less than one million, mostly in
real estate on which scarcely the amount OF
the liabilities can be realized. The COM
pany Was organized to build manufactur-
ing suburb, Leeds. for speculative purposes.
In doing go it incurred Indebtedness over
its income from sale of property. Some
holders Of prior liens commenced to push
their claims and John l. Brooks, Boston
financial man, was sent to interest eastern
stockholders in raising money to satisfy
them. +. O. Henderson, local creditor,
found he had raised 500, ,O0O but misappro-
priated il, and the discovery precipitated
the failure.
The failure carries down with it the
American Security company, the Leeds An
mex company and tho Sioux City Land COM
pany. The total capital of the four COM
panies is 81. 100000. Much OF this ia wa
tered, as at the outside 5000. 600 could be all
that would be realized from the assets at
easy money times. It is thought the failure
will not create any strin0ency outside of
those now in il. All creditors will carry
their losses without becoming embarrassed.
