competition in Europe that has ever been
presented officially probably is that given
i'm a report to the State Department from
Frank Mason. United States consul general
at Frankfort, published in the daily con-
sular reports. Mr. Mason treats the sub
ject broadly but naturally he finds the
main points for his theme directly under
his own observation in Germany, where
the struggle is now most bitter. He re-
counts the various plans that have been
considered and others that are now before
European governments looking to co-opera-
tion in resistance of the encroachment OF
American. trade and enterprise on Euro
food, certainly there can be no successful
combination to make the cost greater, not
withstanding the strong agrarian agitation.
In manufactures America has been making
inroads in Europe beyond the common
knowledge, and Mr.. Mason points out some
lines in Which we have overwhelmed oppo-
sition, and says that in spite of the teach
iDgS of European economists in those lines,
the scepter of economical production, with
highest wages, has passed from the old
world to the new. Shoes. steel and iron in
various forms, mining and electrical ma
chinery bicycles, sewing machines, lathes,
milling machines and tools he specially
mentions as articles with which we COM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The Senate
committee on finance voted to-day to re-
port the Teller resolution declaring for the
payment of the national bonds in silver, as
well as gold. The vote stood to s. The
resolution is practically the same as the
Stanley Matthews resolution adopted some
years ago. Those voting for the resolu-

Wolcott, Republican. Those against: Nor

request, recorded in favor of the resolution.
The vote was preceded by a discussion,

members of the committee. The general
tenor of the discussion was along the same
lines as that OF a eek ago, the Republic

House Anti-scalping Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The House COM
mttee on commerce to-day voted to re-
port the anti-scalping bill in the form of a
substitute prepared by Mr.. Sherman, of
New York. The substitute follows the gen.
eral lines of the original bill, with some adj
ditional features. 1t places penalty on
railroad officers who deal with scalpers.
Heretofore the plan has been to hold the
corporation liable, but the new provision eX-
tends the liability to officials, making them
subject to a misdemeanor, with fine or i'm
prisonment on conviction. A new paragraph
is inserted in Section 2, making Ii unlawful
for general passenger agents to supply
tickets to other than authorized ticket
agents. Another substitute clause provides
that unused Ii kets hall be red EN- d at any
time within one year Any company fail
ing to redeem a ticket is made liable in a
civil action TO a penalty of 500, in excess
of the redemption money on the ticket. Mr..

The 1mwicration Ril1.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The irnmigra-
ton bill which passed the Senate yesterday
will be pushed in the House with a view to
securing early action Chairman Danford
of the House immigration committee, said
to-day that he would endeavor to have the
committee on rules fix time for consider
ing the bill. The only question is as to
whether the measure will be urged as it
passed the Senate or will take the form of
the Mccall bill. The latter includes in the
educational test, both reading and writing,
while the Senate bill as it finally passed that
body limited the test to reading alone Rep
resentative w A. Stone, who has taken an
active part in immigration matters favors
accepting the Senate measure as 1t stands,
in order to avoid a protracted struggle. He
therefore will move, when the bill comes
over from the Senate, that it lie on the
speakers table subject to be called up at
any time when the appropriation bills are
out of the way. Mr. Danford favors this
plan If the committee on rules will give as
surance Of a rule bringing the question to
a vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Civil-service
Commissioner John B. Harlow was before
the Senate civil-service investigating COM
mttee' to-day and presented some interest
ing statements and suggestions in reply
mainly to questions on the subject submit
ted by Senator Elkins, of the committee.
He said if all he government employees in
this city were required to work the full sew
en- hours a day. as required by law. it would
mean a gain of 4501 extra hours a day, with
a saving. approximately, of 100000 a year
for clerk hire. At present the great bulk OF
employees work six and half hours. The
gain outside of Washington would not be
in this proportion. Commissioners Harlow
believed that many millions of dollars would
be saved if the departments were managed
like the average business house or corpora
ton. 1.-THE nearer the government APP
