Captain Seaton, who originated and
pushed through one of the, best and most
important measures passed by this legis-
lature. the binding Irvine bill has not lost
sight of it, but is, still looking after it's in
tereSts Since the bill passed Cap

with several manufacturers of binding

of them to put in the plant.
As soon as the legislature is over. Cap
tain Seaton will lay his correspondence
before the directors and warden of the
penitentiary. The machinery will have
to be manufactured, and il will be two
months before it can be finished, and it
will take some time to set up the plant,

some of the Irvine for the next harvest.

out to keep the trust from putting up the

HIGHER PRICES
All Along the Line in the Iron Mar
ket.

Pittsburg. Pa, March 3.-The advance
in iron and steel during the past few
days has caused nail manufacturers to
advance their prices and wire, steel and
wrought nails have been increased 10
per cent. The basing rate remains the
same, but the discount has been taken
off.
Manufacturers say that the demand
for their product has greatly increased
during the past few weeks and that
prices would not have been changed had
not the price on raw material advanced.
All the mills are running full time and
up to their capacities. All the rod mills
in the city are working overtime in or
der to fill orders and the workmen are
now beginning to hope that the increase
in the price of iron and steel will mean
a general advance in wages. The short
age in steel is already being felt by
some of the smaller plants and pro-
ducers of billets, with finishing mills
of their own are reaping a harvest.
Structural mills have advanced all
shapes 81 a ton and sheets have been
advanced the same figure.

force of arms, and that within CEN
tury,' he said emphatically.
Asked if Canada would logically be
included in this expansion, he said that
Canada had a good government and
therefore there was no need for change.
Summarizing Americas policy, he said:
you people of the United States can
not always remain within yourselves.
You can not always go on making
money. You must get out into the
world and take up your share of the
worlds burdens. Already you are out
growing your own country. You will
absorb other countries and give them
good government. Why should you not?
You have it in your blood. The Philip
pines will furnish new careers for your
young men. The whole work will
strengthen you and broaden your ma
tional character. Yes, already you are
taking to it like mothers milk"

THE CRossAN BILL.
Goes Through the House With Little
Amendment and Goes to Gov
ernor Stanley.

The house has passed Senator Cros-
sans building and loan association bill
with very little amendment. This is the
bill which is largely in favor of foreign
institutions, to the detriment of home
associations. Missouri and South Da-
kota organizations have maintained
lobby here ever since the session opened
and it has succeeded in getting through
the bill it wanted
A large proportion of the members
of the house were inclined to favor the
home companies, but they were warned
that if the bill were amended to any
great extent the senate would not ac-
cept the amendments, and the result
would be that there would be no legisla-
ton whatever along the line desired. In
order to avoid any such calamity the
house passed the entire 40 sections con-
tanned in the bill without changing
them except in a few of the minor de-
tails.
Several attempts were made to radi
cally amend the bill, but they were all
voted down. The amendments in most
cases were made by men who lost mon
ey in building and loan associations, and
the debate developed the fact that there
were a good many such men in the
house.
The house put in nearly all of yester-
day afternoon on the bill, completing it
Just before o'clock. The final vote on
the bill stood IS for the bill to % against
it. Those voting against the bill were
mostly men who wanted a bill more
favorable to home associations. They
were Dawes, Edmonds, Ford, Francis,
Fuller, Hayden, Hefley, Henley, Medill,
McKeever, Nichols, Osborn of Doug
las, Rees of ottawa, Scott of Elk, Sea-
ton, Snyder, Stanley, Stephenson, Ten
ny, Thorp, Wheatley, Wiley, and Will
Its.
At the evening session the senate con-
Cured in the house amendments and
the bill is now ready for Governor STAN
ley's signature
The principal feature of the bill is
that it places all building and loan as
sociations doing business in the state
under the supervision of the bank COM
missioner, the same as the state banks
are at present.
The discrimination against home
companies consists in charging them
fees which amount to more than the
fees charged foreign organizations.

OUT AT LAST.
Railroad Commissioners Report Is
Published Four Months Late.

After a delay of four months the an
nual report of the state board of rail-
road commissioners, the last one that
will ever be issued by the board, is at
last out and is being sent out by the

The railroads were very slow in
making their reports to the board this

Copyright, 1899 Associated Press)
London, February 1S.-The mild
weather prevailing here contrasts
forcibly with the cold weather in the
United States. For some days the sun
shine in London has been summer-like
and the reports of the terrible weather
experiences in America have been read
with amazement. The temperature
over the greater part of Europe is fair
ly high.
The Daily Chronicle epitomizes the
general feeling with the cry: GOD
bless the Gulf stream!"
The sudden death of NJ. Felix Faure,
president of the French republic, has
not affected the programme drawn up
for Queen Victoria's trip to the South
of France She will go to Cimiez IN
less civil discord breaks out. The at
titude of the people in the southern
part Of the French republic toward
British subjects, however, is still far
from cordial and considerable indigna-
ton has been aroused here by the anti
British demonstrations which have
been occurring there recently. An
English visitor at Nice writes that
twice when he attended an entertain
ment at one of the chief pleasure re-
sorts, on the Jetee promenade, where
an actress gives limitations of well
known women, when the curtain was
raised displaying Queen Victoria and

There is little doubt that the Drey
fus crisis and the scurrilous attacks
OF a portion of the Partisan press are
largely Irresponsible for President
Faure's sad end. The gutter papers"
have been constantly raking up certain
incidents rejecting upon members of
President Faure's family, though not
affecting the honor of President Faure
personally. Only on Thursday last
the Libre Parole attacked the mother
OF NJ. Faure's son-in-law with reference

wants to force the city of Paris to
