Minor House Matters.

Washington, Jan. 22.-In the absence
of any regular business in the house
to-day the session was devoted to the
consideration of minor matters and
legislation by unanimous consent. The
major portion of the day was con-
sumed in the discussion of the senate
resolution appropriating $4,000 for
architectural aid in the preparation of
plans for the Chicago public buildings.
The house adopted the report of the
elections committee in favor of Harry
Minor in New York in a contest
brought for his seat by Timothy j.
Campbell.
Lorimer, republican, Illinois, asked
unanimous consent for the considera-
ton of the senate resolution authoriz-
ing the use of $3.50 of the appropria-
ton for the Chicago public building
for the employment of architectural
aid in the preparation of plans. Crisp
thought If this practice were to be fol-
lowed the supervising architect of the
treasury should be abolished. The res
olution was amended so as to provide
the appropriation should cover the SUI
pervision of the construction of the
building, and as amended 1t was agreed
to. AT o'clock the house adjourned
until tomorrow

ment? The deficiency had caused the
trouble and the house had offered an
emergency bill to overcome that de-
ficiency Such relief should not be de-
layed and INSTRUCTED by thrashing out
an old worn subject.
Cockrell asked If Sherman meant to
say that the relief as proposed was
what the executive had asked. Sher-
man said 1t was not for the executive
to determine upon the nature of the
revenue legislation. That was for the
house of representatives. At this point
Gray asked Sherman where this tariff
bill was.
Sherman--I refer the gentleman to
the senator on his right-Jones of Ar
kansas.
Jones-Tha,t bill is in the hands of a
republican committee on finance.
Sherman-!That finance committee Is
to-day practically democratic.
Teller asked If Sherman thought the
bond bill will afford relief. Sherman
answered that he did. The government
had suffered heavy losses from selling
per cent. bonds, and this afforded an
opportunity for per cent. bonds.
Teller asked how long it was intend
ed to keep up the sale of bonds.
Sherman-As long as 1t is necessary
to meet the governments needs caused
by the course of this administration.
In conclusion, Sherman said: las far
as my voice can go, /. want 1t under
stood that this delay arises out of
discussion of a WORKOUT issue-the free
coinage of sllver-while we should be
turning our attention to the practical
remedies before u.s."
Teller responded with spirit. The
senator (Sherman) and his associates
on the republican. side. he said, offered
no monetary system. They stood prac-
tically with the president. The senator
from Ohio could not get up and lecture
not become a law. This bond bill could
not become a law. If there was to be
play of politics 1t would affect bond
bills as we'll as silver.
German answered Sherman's state
ments concerning the treasury admins
tration. He declared that the course
of the treasury now was the same as
that under Secretary Foster and as far
back as the administration of Secreta-
ny Sherman. The democratic congress
had enacted a revenue law which would
have afforded ample revenue. But the
income tax had been wiped out by the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States. 1t was am unforeseen
event. The question now was not one
of party politics.
At 5:25 O'Clock the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

The Sheep Industry.
Special DISPATCH to the Standard.

Helena, Jan. Estate Veterinarian
Robert H. Bird, in his annual report,
made to the governor to-day, says that
the sheep business on the whole has
been very satisfactory for the season,
and reports indicate that sheep are go
ing into winter quarters in fairly good
condition and with a considerable per-
centage of increase. The report treats
only of the sheep raising industry, and
in part is as follows:
THE provisions of your proclama-
lions, issued on the 20th day of March.
1895, have been strictly enforced. Some
3d. 900 head of sheep imported from
quarantined states were duly inspected
and found free of disease OF this
number 1874 were imported into Sill
yer Bow county for butchering; 467
were bucks of the merino variety for
breeding purposes; the rest were or
binary feeding sheep. In addition all
sheep carried through the state by rail
to eastern markets, when unloaded for
feeding, were inspected as far as was
found practicable. This enforcement
of the proclamation has been found
very salutary in keeping diseased
sheep out of the state"
"A small band of sheep was import
ed into Teton county from the Cana
dian province of Alberta under condi-
tions which were capable of being con-
strued as a contravention of United
States regulations. Upon representa-
ton being made from this office to the
chief of the bureau of animal industry
steps were taken to have the treasury
department. notify collectors of GUS
toms not TO allow the Importation of
any more sheep unless they had been
properly inspected. A balance of
$5,676.41 was, at the end of the past
fiscal year, credited to the sheep in
spector and indemnity fund

thus far adduced shows tina Jack Tracy

Christmas without justification. The wife
of the murdered man testified that the

was admitted in evidence. 1t was to the
effect that Tracy struck him first and
that Tracy's mistress used a Ratchet on
him and threatened to kill him then and

Tracy over the head; that half an hour
later, when he was eating dinner, Tracy

remark. I've killed a man who hit me;

Tracy's mistress, Frances Arnott, in

that Tracy was knocked down and rem

auction of coal is very complete and
goes fully into the prices on the market
and the comparative output.
In Kansas the total numbe of short
tons loaded at the mines for shipment
during the last year was 5000, 39S; sold
to local trade and used by employees,
215,565; used at mines for steam heat,
1928; made into coke, 765; grand total,
1855. 251 tons
The total of the production was $4,-
1898, an average price of 81 ,23 per
ton. The number of men employed was
1883, and the average number of days
the mines were active 1874. The increase
OF production in tons over 1898 is 735,
7O5, and in value $SJ3, 1858. The average
price received for the product $1.23, in
1894, l8 lower than at any time since
1886, when it was $1.20.
The report has the following to say
regarding the increased production in
1894 in Kansas:
1.-The increase in Kansas was due to two
causes. In the first place, the coal min
ing strike of 1898 was seriously upset by
strike, local to the state, but bitterly
contested from the middle of May until
September L This caused decrease in
the production of 354, 73O tons as com
pared with 1899. In the second place,
while some of the miners went out in
sympathy with the general strike in
1894. the disa1fection did not extend over
the entire state, and the mines which
kept going found, temporarily, new mar
kets for their products, and the results
are shown in their incre ased output. 1t
is remarkable that under these circum-
stances there should have been a com
parative decrease in valuation. 1t may
in reality be taken as showing in more
radical manner the widespread business
depression, the decline in values through
out the year being more than enough to
offset the temporary advantage gained
by the shutting out of other sources of
supply"
The production in 1894 was the largest
in the history of the state.
One of the striking statements in the
report is this: "The increases and de-
creases in coal production from now on
in Kansas may ba taken as fairly indi-
cative of trade conditions"
Kansas is the only state except W.
Virginia of the first nine coal producing
states which showed an increase in 1894.
Regarding the market for Kansas coal
the report says:
"KansaS City is the wholesale coal
market for all the territory east of the
Rocky Mountains and west of the Mis-
souri, river and is the largest coal
market west of the Mississippi river.
The general Offices of all the mines in
southeastern Kansas, southwestern Mis-
souri,, and many of those in Indian Terri
tory and Arkansas are in Kansas City,
and their coal is sold from this market.
kansas City is also the largest con-
sumner of coal of any city west of st.
Louis. The steam and commercial coal
consumed here is mined in southeastern
Kansas and southwestern Missouri"
