LOUD BILL rs PASSED
GOES THROUGH THE HOUSE
AFTER TWO DAYS DEBATE.
Summary of the Most Important
Provisions of the Bi11-How Iowa
Would Dispose of Surplus Corn
Cap.rs of an Arkansas Cyclone.
Goes Through the House.

The Loud bill to amend the law relat-
ing to second-class mail matter was
passed by the national House after two
days of debate by vote of IA to 100.
The opposition to the bill made strong
fight against it. The statements made on
the floor as to it's effect on certain par
ticulars were very conflicting. The most
important provision Of the bill denies to
serial publications admission to the mails
ut l cent a pound rates. 1t is as fol-
lows: THAT nothing herein contained
shall be so construed rs to admit to the
second-class rate publications purporting
to be issued periodically and to sub
scribers, but which are merely hooks or
reprints Of books, whether they be issued
complete or in parts, whether they be
bound or unbound, whether they be sold
by subscription or otherwise, or whether
they purport to be premiums or supple
ments or parts of regular newspapers or
periodicals" The bill also denies to
newspapers the sample copy" privilege
and the privilege enjoyed by newsdealers
of returning unsold publications at the
second-class rate.

BREAD STANDARD NEEDED.

Report Shows the Necessity for Regu-
1atinG the Size of the Loaf.
An Agricultural Department report on
the composition and cost of bakers bread
in New Jersey cities, based on recent in
vestigations, indicates the necessity of
the adoption of bread standard less va
riable than the loaf, so that definite
number of ounces may be found in each
loaf. The increased cost of nutriment due
to the transformations taking place be-
tween the producer and consumer is
chargeable to the baker rather than to
the miller, for the cost of bread made
from n barrel of flour costing 81, to which
was added SO cents of other ingredients,
was $1O.74, or profit of 116 per cent
for the bakers labor and the cost of dis
tribution.

unsound Venture. Burst.

II. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: 1.-THE years 1897 begins with
one clear advantage. The last year has
swept out of the way a great number OF
unsound concerns which in any time OF
activity would have been dangerous tC
business. OF the 1926 commercial and
banking failures in 1896, with liabilities
of $276, S15, 49, a large share represented
crippling losses in previous years, or the
violence of speculative storms in 1895 or
the first half of 1896, while thousands
aaore resulted from the fury of the politi-
cal tornado last fall. Banking failures
amounting to $50, 71S,915 during the year
averaged $156, 1856 each. and were 14o per
cent larger than in 1895. Commercial
failures amounted to 500, 096,S34, little
over 81 100000 having been added by the
last day of the year, but the average OF
liabilities, $14,992, was smaller than in
some years of great prosperity. The fail
ures of brokerage and other commercial
concerns averaged $5S,41S each, increas-
ing 1873 per cent over 1898, while manu-
featuring failures averaged SIS, sos each,
and increased "a per cent, and trading
failures increased 1S per cent and aver
aged only $9,G0G each. Over four-fifths
of the increase in manufacturing and
trading failures was in lumber manufac-
turing. While banking failures have not
ceased ut the West, apprehension about
them has almost wholly subsidized and no
serious influence upon general trade is
now expected. Many sound concerns
were doubtless caught by the epidemic,
but practically all the important failures
are traced to disregard of law and of
banking sense at periods small distant.
1t is felt at the West that all business
will be to sounder after it's purging.'

NOT YET LYNcHED.
Singular Forbearance Shown Toward
Alabama Train Wrcckers.

Alabama Train Wreckers.
Four of the five train wreckers In Jail
at Birmingham, Ala, confessed to the
attempt to wreck the Southern Railways
fast express Mt McComb's trestle, on the
night of Dec. 10. This confession leads
to the belief that the same gang re-
moved the rails which wrecked the Biz
mingham mineral train at Cahaba River
bridge, causing the death of twcnty-six
people and injuring eleven others, on Dec
q, although those under arrest are as yet
silent as to this wreck. Five negroes
Andrew Feagin, Tom Ingram, Tom Par
ker, Emanuel Billings, and Rome Scaies--
were arrested by deputy sheriffs and
railroad detectives. All but Feagin con-
fessed. Parker says that Feagin was the
leader of the plot, that he proposed the
wrecking of trains one night at dance
as a good scheme by which to get Christ
mas money. They went to McComb
trestle by night and entered upon the
work of drawing out spikes and removing
bolts from the rails. The plan was to
club to death and shoot those passengers
who were not killed by the crash when
the train fell to the ravine ninety feet
below, but the engineer stopped his train
before it left the trestle.

OPPOSE FREE LANDS.
Government Should Not Buy Farms
to Give Away.

Government Should Not Buy Farms
to Give Away.
A minority of the Senate COMMITTEES
on Indian Affairs is decidedly opposed to
free lands for settlers. The report OPP
poses the bill on the general grounds OF
the vast expense it's adoption would en-
tail upon the government. Commencing
with the year 1889 the government has
purchased 81, %, $40 acres of land from
the Indians, agreeing to pay $2o,25l,o 3'
for it, besides $3,O0O,OOO get apart as 4
trust fund for the benefit of the Indians
of the Great Sioux reservation. eff. y
says the report, 'all the land already
opened to settlement upon Indian rcser-
vations heretofore ceded shall be taken
up, the sum to be paid therefor by the
settlers will be $35,353, 00GSG. This bill
proposes to release the settlers from the
payment of this sum-
The report calls attention to the fact
that it was provided in the acts bearing
upon those settlements with the differently
tribes of Indians that settlers should pay
sufficient for the lands to reimburse the
government for the money paid the ln-
dams. Several million acres of land are
embraced in these pending agreements.
The bill as it passed the House applied
only to lands in Oklahoma, but by the
amendments made by the Senate conn.,
mittee the provisions of the bill are eX-
tended to all coded Indian lands, the
amount beir,y more than three times that
contemplated in the bill as it passed the
House. All the lands on the Indian resi-
ervation thus opened for settlement have
been paid for by the government before
the opening of the same, except in the
case of the Cherokee outlet, where pay
ment was to be made in inStallments, and
the sum of $4,9S0,0O0 still remains un-
paid, and in the case of the Great Sioux,
Chippewa and Colville reservations,
where the Indians are to be paid as the
government shall receive money from the
settlers upon disposal of the lands.
Another amendment proposed to the
bill in effect requires that the government
SHALL upon releasing the settlers from
payment of their obligations, pay the In
dams for these lands the sum per acre
which by law is now to be paid by the
settlers. eff" says the report, this
amendment shall be adopted and the bill
pass, the government would be called
upon to pay in the future, including the
amount not yet due in the Cherokee out7
let purchase, sum approximating $751;
OOO,OOO."
The report calls attention to the fact
that negotiations are in progress for the
acquisition of other Indian lands, which,,
are being conducted upon the policy that
the government shall be reimbursed for
Its outlays.
