THE PRINTING BILL.
Apprentices Provided for by the Sen.
ate-Confcrees Appointed

ate-Confcrecs Appointed.
The printing bin. rcoresnizing the system
of the distribution Of public documents
passed the Senate yesterday evening. The
only section in the bill which provoked
discussion was the one authorizing the
public printer to employ twenty-five an
prentices in the government printing Office
To this the typographical unions object on
the ground that il increases unnecessarily
the number of cornpositors available and is
therefore a detrinent 10 their organiza-
tons. Senator PETER sought TO have the
amendment stricken oct, and said hat
while he believed in the right of every man
10 work, he believed men in different occu-
patrons had the right TO protect themselves
from undue competition from outside
Senator Henderson defended the nara
graph, and said il was Perfectly proper for
the government TO allow these young men
10 have The opportunity of learning a useful
uace. He urged upon Senator PETER the
injustice OF attempting TO limit the oppor-
tunities OF those who wished especially TO
enter a certain trade or occupation by al
lowing any restraint against entering into
IL. and thought the government should not
be a party TO such a policy.
After the discussion had closed and the
vote was about to be taken Senator CAL
linger said that while he should make no
objection to a paragraph In the bill prJyid-
ing that In the absence by sickness or
otherwise for the filling by the chief clerk
OF the pubiic printers place, and that the
authority TO dismiss employees should vest
In the joint committee on printing he
thought some explanation would be proper
He did not think this committee should be
vested with such powers. and suggested
that the public printer with his army OF
employees, nearly resembled a cabinet officer
in the administration Of q great DEPART
nient.
Senator Henderson explained that IL was
intended TO place the power where I'm .
contingency IL could safely rest, and thought
no danger would come from IT,
The amendment was then adopted allow
ing the apprentices. and Senators German,
Ransom and Henderson. the committee on
printing. were appointed conferees.

BURNING MOUNTAIN OF COAL.

At Winger in New South Wales,
there is burning mountain. 1t is
l,S20 feet in height, and is supposed
to be large coal seam which has in
some unaccountable way become ig.
nited, and has been burning for many
years, certainly long before the adj
vent of the white man in this portion
of the colony The course of the fire
can be traced a considerable distance
by the numerous depressions or
chasms occasloned by the falling in OF
the ground beneath which the coal has
been consumed. Smoke is continually
issuing from the sides Of the mountain,
and IN the vicinity of these openings
the surface Is hot. and has dry,
parched appearance, while sticks
thrust into these openings are readily
ignited.-New fork Tribune.

COMING IN A CoCKLEsHELL

A novel experiment in ocean nayi-
cation is to be attempted by a Noting.
ham enthusiast, who has been occu.
plying himself for a year past with
the construction of a boat in which he
proposes to cross the Atlantic the
Forthcoming summer. The vessel
which is built of iron and is entirely
Of his own design and make, is only
10 feet q inches long, with 3-feet beam
and 2 feet 6 inches depth, and is thus
the smallest craft that has ever at.
tempted such an adventurous voyage.
1t is what is known as a "whaleback"
deck, and the cabin lighted by glass
windows at the side, will be complete
ly watertight when closed, fresh air
being obtained by pipes. Should The
tiny craft be overturned, the inventor
claims that it will automatically light
itself. She will be fitted with 10
foot mast from the fore deck with jib
and mainsail, and additional motive
power will be supplied by a geared
handscrew. The navigator intends to
start from Nottingham. sailing down
the Trent to Hull, and making for
the Atlantic by way of the English
Channel. He expects that the trip VIII
occupy him something over month";

G. B Bates, 1908 Pennsylvania avenue
Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Bates was
not a little bit surprised. At first

hat would fit it. That is an unusually
large size, but when that hat was
tried on it was too small.
Then Mr.. Bates bethought himself
of an old Derby which he had in his
window off and on for over a year
with placard stating that 1t would
be given to any one it would fit. The
size was 5-S, which is the largest MI

After some search the hat was fonhu
and tried on, but to the disgust and as
constituent Of the storekeeper II was
too small. 1t rested on the back OF
Halls head as a 10-year-old boys nav

mans head and found that II woula

twelve sizes larger than the average

wRATHY AT MANAGERS.

Chicago, July IA joint meeting OF
the boards OF the Railway union and
the knights Of Labor was held late
yesterday afternoon 10 consider the
treatment which President Debs' prop
osition to the general managers had
received. An informal discussion was
followed by adjournment until this
morning.
The feeling against the general man
ayers was bitter, but it was decided to
wait until they had officially acted on
the proposition before the labor peo-
pie did anything. The knights of
Labor representatives agreed to
stand by the union to the end.
At the close of the meeting Presi-
dent Debs said that the union had
made its last oyertures to the general
managers. If the present proposition
was ignored or rejected the strike
would be continued with renewed
vigor until the railroad people give In.
The burden Of further trouble and
loss must rest on the shoulders of
the railways. Mr. Debs added that
there had been no relaxation of the
strike, but If an affirmative answer
came from the general managers the
strike would end Immediately. He in
timated that the union had reserve
forces which it could call into action.
