The Bankruptcy Bill.

The United States Senate has
passed a bankruptcy bill that
seems fair both to debtor and
creditor. Among other provis-
ions are that preferences four
months prior to fling bankruptcy
petitions are null md void and
transfers of property within six
months are void. Provision is
made for distributing the estate
among creditors.
After the settlement the court
gives a final hearing and when all
proceedings have been regulated a
final decree is given, "discharging
and acquitting the bankrupt from
all his debts and liabilities due
any OF the creditors described in
the schedule attached to his petit
ton, or to any of the creditors
who may at any time subsequent
thereto become a party to the pro-
ceedlngs. But such Discharge
shall not include any debts ,or OBJ
legations which shall have been
created IN consequence of his de-
falcation as public officer, or as
an executor, administrator, guar
dian or trustee or while acting in
any other fiduciary capacity; nor
