NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY

The National Association of Referees
in Bankruptcy has sent out to the
business houses of the country a re-
quest for information as to the working
of the present law. This has been done
at the request of the Judiciary Com
mittee of Congress. The business men
are asked five questions as follows:
From your experience with the pres
ent bankruptcy law, which is the bet
ter method for the administration of
insolvents' estates. % Federal bank
ruptcy system, or (2) the State assign
ment deed of trust and insolvency
system, in particular as to
(a) The control of assets by credit
ors;
Cb) The amount of dividends real
lied;
Co The expense of administration
and
Cd) The possibility of preferences
and other frauds.
In the light of your last answer,
should the present bankruptcy law be
(a) Amended;
CD Left as it is: or
(c) Repealed.
Why?
If you think it should be amended,
would you approve in general, the
changes suggested by the enclosed
amendatory bill Oh. R. 1880, intro
duced by Mr.. Ray In the House of
Representatives February 18th, 1901?
What other amendments, growing
out of your experience under the pres
ent bankruptcy law. have you to sug-
gest?
Should partial payments on account,
within four months of a bankruptcy,
but without intention on the part of
the debtor to prefer, or knowledge on
the part of the creditor that the debtor
is either insolvent or intended to prefer
be preferences which must be surren-
dered before the creditor can prove up
the unpaid portion of his claim, as is
now held by the courts; or should the
law be so amended that such payments
may be retained, unless received with,
on the part of the creditor, reasonable
cause to believe that preference was
intended?

neral.
Besides a novitiate at Waltham, the
Sisters of Notre Dame have charge of
the academy at Roxbury, and schools

MEN AND AFFAIRS

Several times in the past decade,
John H. Reagan, who was postmaster
general Of the Confederacy, has been
at the point of death and on each oc-
casion he had numerous opportunities
of reading his own obituary. The vetz
eran, who is over so years old, has
rallied from his recent illness and says
he means to live long time yet.
1t is announced that the successor OF
DR.. Harris at the University of Maine
will be Dr. F. w. Lewis, a fellow in the
department of history of the UNIVERSE
ty of Pennsylvania in 1897-'98 Dr.
Lewis is only thirty years old, and will
be one of the youngest university pres
idents in the country.
Camille Flammarion, the astronomer
at recent meeting of the French AS
tronomi2al Society spoke on the ex-
IRENE longevity attained by members
of the society. The doyen Of the society
is Francois Michau, who was 10 years
old about the time of the Battle of
Waterloo.
King Edward has lately attached to
himself turkish attendant, one Amin
Ibrahim. The duties of Amin are in
doubt, but he is said to owe his APP
pointment to his ability to prepare an
excellent cup of coffee.
Sir Henry Hem Collins, the new
Master of the Rolls in England, comes
of a legal stock, for the Henns and
the Collinses have alike been great
families of lawyers in Ireland.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who will soon
visit America, is said to be the only
actress in England whom the present
Queen has received on intimate terms.

THE MAN WITH GOLDEN HAIR

Some unnamed genius of the west, ap-
parently when performing the plain
duty of recording facts, has given to
the world the story of the Miner with
the golden hair. Often, in great works
of literature, much is left to the mag
ination of the reader, and so 1t is in
this modern classic. A prospector dis
heartened perhaps, but still mindful of
the luxury Of hair cut" submitted
himself TO the tender mercies of a Lead
Vile barber What is this shining
stuff in your hair?" asked the tonsorial
artist But he had not lived in a min
ing town for nothing. In a second he
knew what the glittering flakes meant.

cried the knight of the shears and raz-
or The miner was nonplussed. though
when he saw the flakes on the comb he
knew the barber had spoken truly.
Then his memory served him well. He

COL. HARRISON WILL FIGHT

The dismissal of Col. Russell B. Har-
rison from the United States Army has
been more or less of a mystery to the
public. 1t appears that Col. Harrison
has not any intention of letting the
matter drop.
Col. Harrison was admitted to the
practice of law at Indianapolis Tues
day in the Circuit and Superior Courts
of the County. He is to become a
member Immediately of the law firm
.of which Benjamin Harrison, his faith
Ier, was the senior member.
What gives particular interest to
Col. Harrison's entrance to the bar is
a statement made by him to the effect
that this step was FASTENED by his pur-
pose to fight to the end 1.-The unjust,
unmilitary and outrageous treatment, 8"
as he puts it, melted out to him as a
soldier by the War Department. It was
his fathers dying wish. Col. Harrison
explains, that he should seek redress.
In order to conduct the case he decided
that he must have a thorough legal
training himself, and, upon the sud
den death of his father, on whom he
had relied greatly for assistance and
advice, he gave his entire time to COM
! pleting the course in law study pre-
Iparatory to taking examinations.
| 1t has been well understood that Col.
Harrison felt very keenly his removal
/ from the army. His family has held a
most honorable name and if he has
ground on which to base justly a con
Itention, he could scarcely afford to keep

| been immeasurably retarded by re-
cent dispatch from Manila to the effect
that the fighting natives had been re-
duced to eating potatoes.
Even the most ardent Filipino SYM
pathizers, it is argued, must have lost
great deal of their compassion when
they read that.
| It should be remarked in this connec-
ton that Kansas City is feeling seri-
ously the result of the light crop of po-
| tatoes. An article published in the
Journal few days ago stated that the
portions of potatoes served in the
swell" restaurants were dwindling in
size with alarming rapidity. In cheap
er eating places potatoes are no long
er served free with meat and fish ord
ers.
In Kansas City, last summer, pota-
toes sold as high as $1.75 and 81 bush
Ell at wholesale, and We're very scarce
at that. Poor families, It is alleged,
were driven to using peaches as a veg
etable Then with the harvest Of the
prices. But now prices are advancing
again. At one jump they went from
70 to 80 cents bushel by car lots. Then
the supply was not equal to the de-
mand, and dealers had to inform their
customers that prices probably would
go still higher.
Kansas City, so the Journals modest
contributor asserts, is one of the great
est potato markets in the world. One
of the chief sources of supply has been
the Kaw valley, which is represented as
being a veritable paradise for potato
growers. But this year the Kaw valley
has failed to give it's usual yield. Ordin-
arily up from the Kaw have come
about ten ears of potatoes a day. Now
the Kaw itself cries for potatoes.
Who will be surprised, therefore, If
the people in and about Kansas City
are not moved to tears, by the an
nouncement that Filipinos are reduced
to a potato diet?

AN IMMENSE SAILING VESSEL

The building of great sailing vessels
! appears to be a reviving industry in
America. The idea that sails can COM
pete with machinery for driving
freight carriers over the ocean asserts
itself. The seven masted schooner that
is now being built in Boston will
spread to the winds $4,000 feet of can
vass. The cargo capacity will be
between 1000 and 5000 tons. The
vessels length from the tip of the
bowsprit to the end of aftermast
boom will be 480 feet; the beam so feet
and the depth of hold 80 feet She will
draw 27 feet of water when loaded.
The height Of the stern will be SIS feet.
The boat will be schooner rugged. By
the proposed arrangements of the sails
sixteen sailors, 1t is believed, will be
enabled to man the craft. An old
