WHEN THE dock laborers at Santiago
struck for higher wages the other day,
General Wood, the American command
err there, forced them to go to work
again by threatening to supply their
places at once with negroes brought
from Jamaica. That's just what large
standing can do among the people OF
one part of an imperialistic nation as
we'll as of another. No wonder the labor
unions of the forty five States of the
American Union are opposed to TIE
proposed army bill.

WASHINGTON, December l6.
SENATE.

SENATE.
There was no session Of the Senate,
that body having adjourned yesterday,
until Monday.
The House spent the opening hour
today in consideration of private bills
and minor resolutions, and then resum-
ed debate on the international Ameri-
can bank bill.
Mr.. Bell, of Colorsdo, opposed the
bill as inimical to the National Banks.
Mr.. Crumpacker, of Indiana, advocated
the bill as great aid to the extension
Of American commerce.
Mr.. Ridgeley, of Kansas, proposed q
substitute, authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to open up bank offices in
all towns of 1000 population and over,
where the United States has consular
offices, for accepting deposits, issuing
bills of exchange etc.
Mr.. Newlaods, of Nevada, declared
that with over 100000 new populs-
ton we must provide for more eX-
tended banking system. Mr.. Dingley,
of Maine, speaking for the bill, illus
| trated the difficulties Central and South
American have in money exchanges
with the United States. A bank in
Rio draws on bank in London, and
the bank in London On bank in New
York, to pay for a sale of American
goods in Rio. This costs premium OF
one per cent, which is large profit of
itself
After several other less important
speeches, on The bill, Mr.. Hill, OF Con-
necticut, closed the debate. He said
he WIS at Ponce recently and saw
a consigr me 1T OF coffee which was sold
to New York paid for by exchange on
London. He cited from our ministers
to China to show thst we were losing
much trade in the Orient because we
had no banking house in China.
Mr.. Hill! said the bill would not in
jure the national banks at all. "This
is the first, honest, square banking
measure that has ever come before the
Congress of the United States for the
extension of American trade beyond
our own confines" he declared, and
concluded with an earnest appeal to
the House.
