REORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
MAKES REPORT.
FoREcLosE ON THE ROAD
And Organize an Entirely Ne1
g Concern-Such Is the Present
Scheme.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Atchispn
reorganization committee issued their
plan today, which is signed by all the
members of the joint executive redr-
ganization committee, and which has
been approved by the New York gem
eral reorganization committee, .the
London .bondholders' committee and
Hope & Co., of Amsterdam, acting for,
the Dutch bondholders. The plan pro-
posed, is to foreclose the general mort
gage, and other mortgages if deemed
desirable, and vest the properties ac-
CURED at foreclosure sale in new
company. The capitalization under
the reorganization will amount to
$377, 26S, 2OS, with fixed interest of &,1-

ton of $685.. 595, PAT, with fixed charges
of $9,536,083. Stockholders will receive
for each, 800 stock and assessment of
$40 paid thereon 500 in common stock

is to provide for the issue of addi-
tional general mortgage bonds not ex-
esseding s71,Do0.O0O, for various lpur-
poses named.
A possible issue of 100000 prior

view to making additional provision
for funding or paying existing guaran-
tee notes, equipment bonds and car
trust obligations, and for setting apart
a fund to insure against contingency.
The plan also reserves the right to
issue $2O,000,00O preferred stock for the
acquisition and Improvement of the

for will furnish the company with 3d.

new company.

BOGUS POSTAGE STAMPS.
Firm in Canada swindling the
United States

United States.
CHICAGO, April 9.-United States Sc
cret service officials in Chicago and
Washington have unearthed probably
the most unique, and at the same
time important swindle ever perpe-
trated upon any government. It's mag
nftude, after two days investigation
can only be guessed at, but it is be-
lieved thousands upon thousands of
dollars have been secured by a gang
of skilled counterfeiters, who have re-
!, produced with wonderful skill and ac-
,curacy the pink two-cent stamp of
commerce.
III The counterfeit stamps seized at the
+ Wells-Fargo express office We're ad-
dressed to Nathan Herzog, cigar deal

HerZog. Yesterday an express mes
senger brought in the package. l ex-
amined the stamps. The color and the
general appearance led me to suppose
that they were counterfeit. / said so
to the messenger. He replied that l
need have no fear, that he had deliv-
cred four similar packages within an
hour, and the people had paid for
them. My suspicious were confirmed,
because the firm had said that they
could not furnish more than $500 a
month. I called up the officers. They
got possession and found that they
were counterfeits."
Secret service agents in Buffalo and
Canada have been wired the facts, and
postal authorities are expecting the
capture of the culprits.

A W0RDY WAR WAS WAGED
THE NEW LAW ON BANKING
Drawn by the Public Exam
liner and Passed by Both
Houses.

The house considered two special
orders yesterday, consuming the
entire day in doing SO, defeating the
first and passing the. second
measure. 49, 81 ~
The first bill considered was that
Of Mr.. Reeves, a proposition to. re-
peal the present law under which
mining companies may elect to pay
tax of l cent a ton upon all iron
ore mined in the state in lieu, of the
direct assessment and taxation to
which other property is subject.
This has been popular measure
with the masses, and is in some
measure associated in the public
mind with the bills to tax unused
railroad lands, to forfeit the H. &
d. railroad grant and other reform
propositions. 1t was introduced
by Mr.. Reeves "by request''-of
whom is not stated, but the puta-
tive author made most wonder
fully vigorous fight for it's passage.
He was easily the leading orator Of
the day, and his address to the
iouoC was llUSidiiy dppiduue DIS
the speaker closed his argument
and took his seat. In speaking to
the question, Mr.. Reeves attacked
the constitutionality Of the present
law, claiming that it granted a spe-
cial privilege to a special class, and
was in contravention of, the well
established principle that all prop
critics must be taxed ON an equal
footing. 1t was true that the state
would only receive about 77per cent
of the direct tax, but if these com
panies and properties were as
sessed at their true value the state
would get more out of the per
cent than it would if it received
the whole of the tax now collected.
He boldly asserted that the Rookie
Teller syndicate had put up power
full lobby to fight the bill, and with
his eye resting on gentlemen in the
rear of the house he added that he
was at that moment looking at two
OF the representatives of that
lobby.

CANT CAN IF HE TRIES.

Mr.. Cant, Of the Duluth delegation.
answered MIR. Reeves in a clear and
logical discussion of the merits of
the bill. He frankly admitted that
the iron companies were opposed to
this bill, and said he had no apollo
gles to make. for defending the
greatest business interests inthe
state from the attack of malicious
or misinformed persons He did
not hesitate to say that this bill
had been hawked around for weeks
before any one had been found to
introduce it, and that copies of it
might be found distributed among
members. The bill was an attack
on the iron companies simply be-
cause they were the representatives
OF capital, and not because there
was anything Objectionable in the
present law.
AS a business proposition he held
that 1T was bad policy to exchange
what had been proved a satisfactory
method for one that was uncertain
and speculative.

uecldrlng 1t was a suspicious circ,1m-
stance that Duluth should be SO ready
10 yleid up to the state half of the tav
on the mines of st. Louis county.
Mr. ROBINS made a brief common
sense and conservative argument in
opposition to the bill, holding that the
present law was satisfactory. and the
proposed one only speculation.
Inc hour of noon recess was sa+
ahead to allow Mr.. Douglass to he
heard, as he would be absent in the
AFTERNOON IN attendance upon the finn
erai OF MRS. Bayer. His argument was
mainly upon the line that the opera

cdliy impossible of application. as no

soon as such ore was. brought to the
surface it became personal nronertv

e. eiI was resumed in the
afternoon, each of the gentlemen who

peating. Mr.. Cant presented another
stfong plea in opposition, and Mr.
reeves one in defense. Upon the cues
tion OF constitutionality, Mr.. Feig held
that the present law was unconstitl,-
uonal. Mr.. Gibbs rose in his place
and asked who had pronounced the
law unconstitutional. With a roar like
the bull of Bashan, shaking his fist
at the dome of the capitol, and posing
IKE the umpire in the ninth inning of
hot ball game, he yelled back,

out of the house will dare dispute it"
This burst of eloquence was greeted
with loud and long chorus of laugh
ter, and the gentleman from Kandi-
yohi took his seat not whit discon-
certed.
After considerable further discussion
vote was taken, which showed some
OF the most remarkable splits of the
session, members appearing to vote
without reference to others with whom
they were usually associated. Mr..
Staples, for instance, voted against the
bill, while his alter ego, Mr.. jacobson.
voted for 1t. Mr.. Gibbs, Mr.. Wool
bridge, Mr.. Robbins and many of the
men recognized as furthest from the
influence of the lobby opposed the bill.
and it was defeated by vote of IS to
Al, twelve members being absent. Mr..
Fe1g subsequently changed his vote to
no, and gave notice of a motion to re-
consider, but there is little probability
that he will be able to muster the adj
d1tional three votes necessary to pass
