DISCUSS ANTI-TRADING-sT BILL
Two Hearings Yesterday, and the
Measure Passed by Till After Xmas.

There were two fights before the House
Committee ON Banks, Currency. and Com
merce yesterday, when the anti-trading
stamp bill again came up for considera-
ton. The first meeting was held In the
morning and the second in the afternoon.
The result was that, after good deal
of argument 1t was finally decided to
postpone the further consideration OF the
measure until after the Christmas holi-
DAYS, when ii will come up January 9Th.
Among the gentlemen who spoke In
favor OF the bill were Mr.. George Med.
Blake; Mr.. Meyer, OF Julius Meyers
Sons, dry goods; Mir. West groceries; Mr..
Thalhimer, dry goods MIR. Hoffheimer,
shoe dealer: Mr.. Henry G. Beattie and
r. c. Broaddus, Esq, OF Manchester;
Mr.. Coleman. grocer.
Those who spoke against the measure
were MY. Il. q. Flood, General Wemple,
and Mr.. Harris, OF the trading stamp
concern. Mr.. S. l.. Bloomberg, also APP
peared as counsel for the latter, and the
merchants who use this mode OF adver-
Using, and made forclble argument In
opposition 10 the measure. In order TO
appear as counsel before Legislative
committee he paid the State the license
tax OF 800 required by law.
At the second meeting. which was hel
NJ O'clock, Delegates Barley. OF Alex

that the bill be passed by until after the

met yesterday afternoon at oclocB III
the Hall of the House of Delegates 10
consider Mr.. Reddy's employers naDlity
bill" but the measure, after some nttle
discussion, was passed by and made
special order for January 9Th.
Mr. Saunders was in the chair, ana
when the body was called to order, Mr..
W. A. Glasgow, Of Roanoke, SAID mat ne
was considerably interested in the Dill
and as he had not been able to hold a
conference with the gentlemen represent
ed by him, ne asked the committee 10
pass the measure by until after the hoh-
days. Judge Williams, Of Orange, also
asked that the bill be passed by, as II
had not yet been even printed.
Mr.. Reddy said that under the rules
the bill could not be printed until 1t had
been acted upon by the committee. lie
was opposed to the measure being passed
by. He thought no man could come
before the committee with less grace than
Mr.. Glasgow and ask for continuance
Of the matter, as bill of similar charac-
ter had been introduced some sessions
before, and the gentleman from Roanoke
had fully discussed it before committees.
Mr.. ellis, superintendent of the Rich
mond Locomotive Works, professed him
self in entire ignorance of the provisions
of the BILL and desired that its conside-
ration be postponed.
Mr.. Diggs moved that the bill be taken
up, and, If possible, acted upon without
useless delay. Those opposed to the
measure would have ample time to fight
it when Il came before the Senate COM
mittee. He thought the opposition ac-
knowledged that they had bad case
when they appeared with such brilliant
array of legal talent, when the other
side was not represented. Mr.. Glasgow
informed him that Mr.. c. V. Meredith
was present to represente the employees
Mr.. Saunders thought the committee was
perfectly competent to hear the argu-
ment in the matter, even If the bill was
not printed. They could investigate later
A motion was made that each side be
allowed thirty minutes to discuss the
measure. Mr.. Montague said that as fan
| as he was concerned he was not ready
| TO make any argument. Mr.. Reddy pro
| posed that the committee rise and con-
vene to-day at $3.50 o'clock, when both
sides should be heard. and all argument
! closed. Messrs. Bailey and Winbournt
| both favored postponefnent.
Mr.. Embrey moved that the bill bt
| made a special order for Thursday eve
| Ming January 6th, AT CLOCK, lhdt eaSi
| member be furnished with q printed cop!
| of the measure in the mean time, anC
that an hour and half be allowed eacl
! side for discussion. This was adopted.
Mr.. c. V. Meredith was then introduces
to the body and explained the provision
OF the measure. He said he was present
not as an employed attorney and not
the solicitation of any one, but becaus
he found that the present law worked al
injustice. The bill was drafted very SINH
lar TO that OF the English act.
After Mr.. Neredth's very forcible re
marks. In which he showed that the lay
at present gave more protection to
mans dog than 10 his fellow-servant
the committee adjourned.

REINDEER FOR rHE GOVERNMENT
To Transport supplies to the kiOn-
dixie Miners.

WASHINGTON, December 2O.-Secre-
tary Alger to-day cabled to William a.
Kjellmann, the chief government rein
deer herdsman, who is now in Alien,
Norway, TO inform the War Department
immemidately how soon 600 reindeer can
be shipped to this country. These are
wanted for use as draught animals in
getting supplies to the miners in the
Blondike regions. 1t is said that they
must be transferred at New York TO the
railroads. and in that manner carried
across the Continent, and again by sea
from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or
such other point as may be selected as
the base of operations by the relief eX-
petitions.
Secretary Alger has determined, after
advising with the medical officers OF
the War Department, and persons who
have had much experience in Arctlc
regions, TO make large use of condensed
food preparations. Not only Will the
meats taken be in the most concentrated
form, but particular efforts are making
to secure condensed preparations OF
vegetables. such as potatoes and onions.
Secretary Alger has begun an inquiry 10
ascertain the amount of such stores
available for purchase by the govern
ment, and the prices demanded for them.
The State Department has already
asked the British Government to request
from the Canadian Government permis-
sion to pass these stores through Ca
madam territory free of duty. 1t Is not
anticipated that any objection Will be
made to granting the request, nor to the
accompanying request that will be made
for permission for our soldiers to pass
over Canadian territory as guards for the
expeditions, although an order OF the
Privy Council will be required for the
SUSPENSION of duties.

had spread to the sixth floor, and they
finally reached the NTH Moor.

everything underneath 1t from destruc-
ton.

$4,000 worth Of patterns, which cannot
be replaced. Beside this the firm lost
about $4,000 on stock, fully covered by

EXCITEMENT At PENSACOLA.
of Eiiibustering-Cruis
Ready for Emergencies.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
PENSACOLA, FLA, December Is
There was considerable activity on
board the United States steamer Mont
gomery yesterday, owing 10 information
having reached her commander 10 the
effect that several suspected filibusterers
were In the harbor. Consequently tho
cruiser started steam up, and got u
readiness 10 get under way.
The crew of the cruiser worked In
conjunction with the revenue cutter PEN
rose. Late in the afternoon the Mont
gomery put a squad OF armed men, In
charge of an officer, on board the PEN
rose, and they will be relieved every four
hours until further developments.
The Montgomery also fitted out seve'
raj of her boats with guns, ammunition
etc. to patrol the harbor, while the PEN
rose did duty outside, around warning
ton. All the boats of the Montgomery
have orders TO fire two blank cartridges
to bring to any suspected vessel, and,
upon her neglecting to stop, third shot,
this time loaded shell, is to be fired.
The Somers Smith, a pilot-boat, yes
sci called the Britannia, and schooner
are loading here under official super
vision. Inc Snlln Is sdlu 10 nave ANii
several successful expeditions in the past,
having escaped the Montgomery once,
and as she came I'm from sea on Thurs
day night, and has been taking on board
all day long a cargo OF some description,
an unusual proceeding for a pilot-boat,
the Montgomery intends TO follow her as
soon as she gets under way. The Bril-
tannia and the schooner have also been
taking a cargo of boxes, supposed to be
ammunition. etc, on board. and it Is re-
ported that the Dauntless Is waiting
somewhere outside the bar, In order To
tranship the munitions at sea. IL VIII
thus be seen that a wei organized eN-
petition to Cuba is apparently being
equipped here.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December o.
The Treasury Department has notified

which is suspected of having another
hlibustering expedition on hand. The In
formation was furnished by the soanish
Minister. who reported that the Daunt'
less had in tow number OF barges OF
lighters. While there was nothing APP
parently unlawful in the movements oil

to believe she contemplated another ex'
petition. In view OF her previous
achievements In that line, strict watch
on her movements was ordered.

Trade-Unionist. Must Quit Militia,

CHICAGO. December 20.-The Times
Herald says: Trades-unionists are re-
quired by the Chicago Federation of La
Dor to leave the National Guard at once
This was the unanimous decision reached
by the delegates at their regular weekly
meeting.
IT was said without contradiction that
a union man could not consistently serve
in the militia and incur the risk OF being
called out TO shoot down fellow-tra5e-
unionists who might be on strike for the
hetterment of their economic condition.
So any trade-unionist who IL O Member
of the Illinois National Guard will be re-
quested to secure a discharge at once.
