BRISTOL. Tenn, June THE
Virginia Iron, Goal and Coke Com
pany, which has been producing
iron on large scale in this section
of the South, has begun to hedge
and is shutting down furnaces and
other enterprises. The extensive
horseshoe works at Max Meade rs,
Va, and furnaces adjacent have
been ordered closed and several
hundred men will be out of employ
ment. The machine shops and
foundry of the company at Pulaski,
Va, are also to be closed. Cor
nelius Shields, Vice President, and
general manager of this company,
states that the action of the COM
pany is the result of exorbitant
transportation charges and the de-
cline in the price of iron. He is
unable to say what further action
may be necessary, but regards the
situation with seeming apprehen-
sion.

of the committee hold that Mr. Rob-
erts should be excluded, while the mi
nority contend that he he seated and
then he expelled, basing their argu-
ment for this course upon the ground
that Mr.. Roberts possesses all the con-
stitutiopal qualities for membership
and that any attempt to exclude him
upon the theory that congress has the
power to add to those qualities would
establish dangerous precedent that
might return to plague congress in
the future. The majority of the COM
mittee on the other hand are conf
dent that they will be backed by a ma
jority of the house. Mr. Roberts is eX-
pected to make plea in his own de-
tense. To-day will be devoted to Dis
trict of Columbia matters and Friday
to eulogies upon the life and public
services of the late Wee President Ho-
bart.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The Senate This Week Wnl Devote Itself
Almost Exclusively to speech Mtking-
The Roberts Case In the House.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The senate
again this week will devote itself al
most exclusively to speech-making,
a variety of subjects will be covered.
The financial bill will remain the un-
finished business, but the senate will
not be held strictly to its considera-
ton. Several set speeches probably
will he made upon it, among those
who are expected to speak being Sen
ators Cockrell Daniels and Allen. No
announcement has yet been made of
speeches on the affirmative side of the
measure, but now that Il day has been
agreed upon for a vote, il may be eX-
pected that some of the friends of the
bill will speak in its defense.
The first speech of the week will be
made Immediately after the close of
the routine business to-day by Sena-
tor Pritchard on his resolution declar-
ing the proposed amendments to the
constitution of North Carolina to be
in contravention of the federal consti-
tuition. He will he followed by Sena-
tor Turner ia prepared speech on
the Philippine question. Tuesday
Senator Ross will address the senate
on the application of the constitution
of the United States to Puerto Rico
and the Philippine archipelago. He
will he followed on the same date by
Senator McIEnery with a speech on the
North Carolina constitutional ques-
ton.
The two reports of the Quay contest
will he presented to-day or tomorrow
and as this contest is Il privileged
question il is not unlikely to receive
early attention. Senator Penrose
who is in charge of Senator Quay's
case, says he will ask that the contest
be pressed to an early decision in the
senate. The Samoan treaty also will
be taken up again in executive session
on the motion of Senator Jones, OF
| Arkansas, to consider the vote on
which it was ratified.
The feature of the proceedings in
the house this week will be the con
sideration of the case of Brigham III
Roberts, the Mormon representative
elect from Utah. The case has at
tracted intense interest all over the
country. The case will be called NJ
Tuesday and two, possibly three, days
will be devoted to it. The majority

HEAVY en- KANSAS BANKS.
Congressman Bailey Endeavoring to Have
the Bank Tax Modified or Repealed-A
Statement by the CongreIsman.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Congressman
Bailey, Of Kansas, says he is endeavor-
ing to have the bank tax modified or
repealed Said he: There are IS
banks in Kansas, with a capital of
$1,000 each. The tax of $50 on every
bank is imposed without discrimna-
ton as to the amount of capital stock.
These small banks exist i'm many Kan
sas towns, not as an investment, but
as a business necessity. They gener-
ally represent contributions of money
by philosophical citizens. There are
also 81 banks in our state with cap
ital of $4,000 each, and 2S0 other
banks with capital of less than $25,.
600 each. Banks with small capital
find the tax especially burdensome.
In the case of banks with $4,000 cap
ital you will observe that the tax
amounts to one per cent. of the
amount of capital represented"
