rapidly increasing movement of grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease OF shipping facilities on the

Galveston Bay. Peculiar natural adj
vantages surround LaPorte, notably its
being the fartherest inland seaport on
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte-
sian water climate unsurpassed in

Nickel-Steel for Hoilera.

The results of recent experiments
by Mr.. A. +. larrow go to show that
nickel-steel, which has proved so valu-
able for the armor of warships, is also
an excellent material for boilers The
resistance Of nickel-steel to the action
Of fire, of hydrochloric acid and Of
superheated steam, is far greater than
is that If tho mild steel of which boil
ers are ordinarily constructed Mr..
Yarrow estimates that a boiler fur
nished with nickel-steel tubes would
last two or three times as long as an

LOUD BILL.

Reported to the House With Some OBJ
jectionable Features Eliminated.
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The Loud
bill, relating to second class mail mat.
ter, was agreed to in an amended form
by the house committee on postofices
and postroads. This bill was recently
recommitted by the house by the com.
mittee because of certain objections
raised. The amended bill eliminates
the points Of objection, particularly that
referring to country newspapers.
In its new form the bill is quite brief
and is as follows:
"That mailable matter of the second
class shall embrace all newspapers and
other periodical publications which are
issued at stated intervals, and as fire.
quently as four times a year, providing
thai nothing herein contained shall be
construed al to admit to the second class
rate publications %purporting to be issued
periodically and to subscribers, but
which are merely books or reprints of
books, whether they be sold by sub.
scription or otherwise, or whether they
purport to be premiums or supplements
or parts Of regular newspapers or peri
odicals.
"Section 2.-That news agents shall
not be allowed to return to news agents
or publishers at the pound rate unsold
periodical publications, but shall a
postage on the same at the rate of one
cent for four ounces"

Interstate Commerce Law Declared to Be
Useless As 1t Stands.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce
heard arguments in support of the prop.
osition to amend the interstate com.
MERGE law by James NJ. Langley of the
Merchants Association of New York.
Edward P. Bacon, a grain merchant Of
Milwaukee, and H. F. Dousman of the
Chicago board Of trade. Mr.. Langley
said that he represented $1,000 of the
largest business houses in the United
States, 1900 of them being in New
York. They wanted the hands of the
interstate commerce commissioners
strengthened, Mr.. Langley said, feeling
that they We're as much al the mercy
Of the secret rate harpies as prior to
1887"
Mr.. Bacon thought the law should
either be made effective or stricken of
the books. He also expressed the opin.
ion that the interstate commerce com
mission should have the power to con.
vict in cases where the members were
convinced of violation Of the law, even
where the proof did not reach the strict
technical requirements.
Mr.. Dousman complained especially
OF discrimination in rates on the part of
the railroad companies and wanted the
law SO amended as to put a stop to the
practice.
