five votes in its favor The minority
report was defeated by vote of 2o74
to 1914. The majority report was
adopted by a vote Of 244 to 46. The
congress also adopted resolutions as

hon of the Nicaraguan canal; rec
'mmending recognition of Cuba as
a nation; providing for national
board of arbitration and for fostering
.he beet sugar industry.

COREAN PAPER.
1t Is Better Than That of China or
Japan.


japan.
The statement is made by writer
in the Apotheker Zeitung that a re-
markable kind Of paper is produced in
Corea entirely by manual labor and
without the use Of machinery. Its quail
ity excels that of the very best made
in China or Japan. The raw material
used for this paper is obtained from
the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera,
which is collected in the spring and
beaten in water containing large adj
mixture OF wood ashes, until reduced to
thick pulp; this is taken in large ladies'
and spread upon frames of bamboo,
and in this way formed into thin sheets.
Another kind Of paper is produced
from old scraps trodden into pulp,
much in the same way that grape juice
is expressed in some countries-a pro-
cess OF pulping which. though slow, has
the advantage of not breaking the fiber
SO much as when machinery is used;
then, after the pulp has been made into
paper, the sheets are piled up to the
height Of six feet and cut into pieces,
to I've again subjected to the feet stamp
ing-at the same time the roots and
seeds Of the plant called "tackpoui" are
added, the soluble parts of which are
supposed to give tenacity and tough

no,lnced It's decision In the matter OF
alleged unlawful rates and practices
in the transportation of grain and
grain products by the Atchison, To.
peka & Santa Fe railway and 9th
ers' Shipments of grain were car
ried to Kansas City, Mo-, from points
west thereof, at local rates, and
quantities Of grain were afterward
reshipped and rebilled from Kan
sas City to Chicago or other destina-
tions at the balance of the established
through rate from the original point
OF shipment to Chicago or other ulti-
mate destinations, instead of the
higher local rate in force from Kansas
City to such destination. The commits
sion held that such shipment and re-
shipment did not constitute through
shipment, and grain 50 shipped and re-
shipped was not entitled to the benefit
of the through rate in force
