PRESIDENT INDORSED
COMMENDED BY THE HOUSE FOR
SURPRISING STRIKE RIOTS.
bailey Bankruptcy Bill Ready for the
Final VOte-Tarif COnfcrees Likely
to Report a Disagreement.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE House to-
day, by a vote of 125 to q, adopted a res
olution offered by Mr.. McCreary of Ken
lucky, indorsing the action of the Presi-
dent and the administration in suppress
ing lawlessness in connection with the
strike. 1t was adopted under suspension
of the rules, only thirty-eight minutes be-
ing allowed for debate. Mr.. McCreary and
Mr.. Catchings made short speeches in sup
port of the resolution, and Mr.. Pence and
Mr.. Bland INDUCED in some criticism of
the action of the administration, but
neither was unduly severe. The remainder
of the day was spent in an effort TO pass
the Bailey bankruptcy bill, but, although
it was engrossed and read third time,
the quorum failed on the final vote, and
the vote on the final passage will be taken
the first thing tomorrow. AT $50 p. m. the
House adjourned.
The Bailey bill Is purely a voluntary
bankruptcy measure. 1t is limited in it's
operations to two years. Under it property
is administered according to State laws
thus creating no officers new machinery
for its execution. The bill provides that
if any debtor owing 800 or more shall ex-
ecute an assignment valid according to
the law of the place where his property
is located and also in accordance with the
States own requirements, he shall be dis
charged from his debts. The only require
ments which the bill itself exacts are that
the assignment shall include all of the
debtors property not exempt and shall be
for the equal benefit of all his creditors.
without preference, except for debts due
for labor and to the State and general gov
eminent. 1t exempts such property as may
be exempt from forced sales under the law
of the debtors domicile. 1t further pro-
vdeS that four months after the debtor
has executed his assignment he may file
his petition in the federal court, alleging
under oath full compliance with the law
and praying to be discharged from further
liability of his debts. His creditors are
cited to appear, and they have reasonable
time in which TO file their answer and to
contest the debtors right TO judgment.
If upon the trial, it should appear that
the debtor has given any preference by
assignment or otherwise, or that he has
done anything to prevent a fair and equal
division of his property pro rata among
his creditors, or that he has attempted 10
defraud his creditors then the court must
refuse to discharge him. The bill further
provides that if an attachment has been
levied that debtor can still execute an as
signment which shall vacate the attach
ment, and he will then be entitled to the
benefit of the law. If the attachment is
collusive and the debtor permits 1t to stand
he deprves himself of a release and his
creditors still have their action in all the
courts TO set aside the attachment on the
ground of fraud.

A DAMAGING BOAST.

T. B. Mcclure has been one of the eX-
some time, and as such was one of the
foes of Mr.. Powderly. He is prominent
enough in the order to be sent to Wash
ington to confer with the President in be-
half of Mr.. Debs. While in Washington
he is reported as saying:
The strike will cost the railroads a great
deal OF money before we are through
with IT, and they certainly will not be able
TO make any dividends Tor some time TO
come.
That is. if Mcclure speaks for the
knights OF Labor or the Debs union. whom
he was representing. these organizations
are interested in Gripping railroad property
and cutting down their earnings so that
they cannot make dividends. As only
comparatively small part of the railroad
mileage of the country earned dividends
last year, Mcclure and his allies are
anxious TO take the rest out of the list and
place more lines in the hands OF receivers
because of their inability to pay the low
rate interest on their bonds But Mcclure
and his associates profess to be anxious
TO increase the wages and improve the
conditions of the employees of railroads
Can they be sincere? Most of the roads

The irreverent preacher who declared
that Christ never carried Winchester to
suppress strikers might have said that
Christ never opened a switch to turn car
loads of people to death or beat a man

as socialistic works he would have remem-
bered that Christ said of temporal rulers,

The County Commissioners have again
overhaued the voting precincts, increasing
the number from 175 in 1892 TO 191 If this
change of lines and numbers was really
necessary it indicates a decided growth of
the city. Some territory has been added,
but by no means sufficient to warrant an
increase Of sixteen precincts. 1t is very
probable that not one precinct as changed
has the same boundaries as in 1892, and but
few the same numbers. Such changes are
confusing and should be avoided when pos
sible. 1t Is worth while to consider If
