WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.
Preliminary Stage of Various Meas
ures in Congress.

The ways and means committee Of the
House today directed favorable report on
the bill of Representative Cooper of Texas
free zone of Mexico. The purpose of that
law was to suspend the bonding of goods
arriving in this country and destined for
Mexico, in the hope that Mexico would take
like action and that the smuggling across
the zone would be stopped; but it has been
found that the effect of the law was to di-
vert traffic from American ports and send
it to Tampico. Vera Cruz and other Mexi-
can ports and to give the carrying to Mex
lean railroads. At the same time Mexico
has not taken the action contemplated in
1895, and the smuggling continues.
The bill now reported is designed to re-
store this trade to American ports and
the report was instructed to oner the Dill
as an amendment to the Payne bill, per-
mitting the bonding of goods at all ports,
instead of at designated places.
The House committee on pensions today
ordered a favorable report on the bill max
ing service in the Spanish-American war
sufficient to remove the disabilities against
those who aided or abetted the southern
troops during the war of the rebellion, in
the matter of drawing pensions. At pres
ent the inhibition applies to widows chill
dren heirs and others related to those
serving or assisting the confederacy, and
the removal of this Inhibition is more par
ticularly designed to apply to the parents
of those serving in the war with Spain.
The bill giving the Fort Hayes military
reservation to the state of Kansas for edu-
cational purposes was today favorably re-
ported by the House committee on public
lands.

will Se assigned to his old command the
Department of the Lakes, with headquar-
ters at Chicago, now temporarily in COM
mand of General Wade.
General Brooke is accompanied by Mrs
Brooke and his aid, Captain James T.
Dean, 10th Infantry. and will probably re-
main here several days in order to give
the President and the Secretary of War
the benefit of his observations of material
affairs and political conditions in Cuba.
General Brooke in command of the
division of Cuba from the time the island
was finally evacuated by the Spanish troops
January /, 1899, until relieved by General
Wood a few weeks ago General Brooke
spent several days in Florida on his trip
from Havana in order to gradually accli-
mate himself to the colder climate of
Washington. 1t is generally understood
that If General Brooke does not care to
retain his old command at Chicago, he
will succeed Major General Wesley Mer-
ritt. who will retire in June next, in COM
mand of the Department of the East at
New York.

TRANSPORTATION. ARRANGED.
Plans Completed for Bringing the Re.
mains of Gen. IaHxIan

Arrangements have been practically COM
pieted for the transportation of the re-
mains Of General Lawton, which are ex-
pected to arrive at San Francisco on the
transport Thomas, in a few days, from
that point to this city, where the inter
ment is to be made at the Arlington ma
tional cemetery. The remains of Major
John A. Logan, which are on the same
vessel, are to be taken to Youngstown
Ohio, for fnterment. The details of the
journey across the continent are given In a
telegram received by Quartermaster Cen
eral Ludington today from Colonel Long,
the quartermaster in charge at San Fran
cisco. This telegram is as follows:
''Stubbs has placed at the disposal Of Mrs
Lawton and Gen. Shafter one double and
drawing room car and for Mrs. Logan an
other similar car, without cost. VIII also
furnish government one composite car for
remains, to be paid for at rate of S25 for
each day absent from San Francisco The
route will be as follows: Central Union
Pacific and Northwestern to Chicago:
thence Baltimore and Ohio via YOUNGSTOWN
to Washington. These arrangements per-
fectly satisfactory to Gen. Shafter and Mai
Tucker representing Mrs. Logan). Cars
leave here on No. 6, night train. 1t is
thought, as special section, and will con-
tinue over each route the same to Chicago.
thence by special train to Washington.
Will notify you later date of arrival of
transport and departure of funeral party
and final details of arrangements"

MANY ACCEPTANCEs RECEIVED.
Indications of Big Attendance at
Anti-Trust Conference.

CHICAGO. January 24-M L. Lock-
wood, president of the American Anti
Trust League and chairman of the execu-
tive committee, which has In charge all
the arrangements of the coming conference
is in Chicago. Concerning the meeting he
said:
''The antitrust conference which meets
in Chicago, February IL, promises now to
be even larger and more representative
than was anticipated. Over 500 accent
ances have been received, and it would be
no surprise to me. if there were 1900 dele
gates present. The character of the ac-
ceptances and the people from whom they
are coming indicate that the trust subject
continues to be one of absorbing interest
to the people of this country. 1t is evident
too, that people are beginning to realize
that the only weapon which can be used
effectively against the trusts evil is the
government ownership of railroads.

LONDON. January 24.-The extreme ten

save the daily stock exchange rumor. which
today happens to have been started by the
bulls, who assert that Gen. Warren mas

the Eext news is visible on all sides The
war office was besieged at an early hour

Comment on Capt. Mahan.
Commenting on Captain Mahan's atti-
tude the st. James Gazette today remarks:
His advice is good and needed H. Amer
lea. While strict neutrality is maintained
in the official world and good will for Eng
land is felt by the better informed il is
simply misleading the public of this coun-
doing, that antagonism to England is con-
fined TO negligible majority of Americans
The sympathy of America, as a whole is
as d matter Of fact no more with England at
this moment than was our popular SYM
pathy with them at the outbreak Of the
war with Spain. and the contrast of official
and popular attitudes is no less marked IN
the United States than it is in Germany"
AS the afternoon progressed the eNci1e-
ment on Pail Mall reached high pitch.
but the war office officials reiterated, al > 80
pm. the oft-repeated statement that
''Eothing has been received from Gen. Bull
ler.'
The suspense was increased by the belief
that Gen. Butler would never have pub
lished his intention to attack the Bocrs on
Spion Kop unless satisfied that the assault
would be carried out before the news could
be published, and il was fully anticipated
that the news of his success or faiiure
would reach London In few hours al the
most.

CONVICT A COUNTERFEITER.
Inmate of Virginia Penitentiary
Makes Many Spurious Nickels.

Special Dispatch 10 The ENehiis star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 24.-It has
lust leaked out despite rigid efforts on the
part of the officials to suppress It, that one
of the convicts in the Virginia penitentiary
has for some time been Systematically
making large numbers OF counterfeit nick
els. and secretly disposing Of them The
spurious coin is perfect in appearance, and
is made by pouring lead into die made of
two thick pieces of leather A gas stove
in the convicts cell was used to melt the
lead The counterfeiting was only recently
discovered, after having been going on for
some time. 1t is not known how much spu-
rious coin was circulated, but it is thought
the amount was quite large.
