LEADERS OF the majority in the
House OF Representatives do not want
the American people to know how
many acres OF sugar lands 10 Cuba are
owned by citizens Of the United States,
aud resolution Of inquiry to that end
has been sthed accordingly. Never
theless, it would be we'll to make this
information generally available, and
the Senate will probably furnish 1t at
the proper time. People want to know
exactly whose OK is being gored in the
current factionsl fight over Cuban
reciprocity.

CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRICTs.-Senator

Barks1ale has completed his bill for re-
districting the State for congressman.
The only change affecting the pres
emit congressman materially Is putting
Msjor Otey and Mr.. Flood 10 the same
district, the Sixth. The Federal law
requires the districts to be compact
and this necessitated a change 10 both
the Sixth and Tenth districts.
The Eastern Shore is taken from the
First district and placed In the Second.
Many OF the counties In which the re-
public ans have considerable strength are
grouped 10 the new Tenth district, but
the arrangement leaves all OF the others
surely democratic.
King George county is taken from
the Eighth aud placed in the First dis
trict, and Orange Ia taken from the
Eighth and placed in the Seventh dis.
trict; Fredericksburg city, SpottsylvanIa
Caroline, and Henrico counties are add
ed to the Eighth district.

Of interest in the movement on the

week by the discovery Of a bone
at the depth of fifty feet in the

pears to be the lower half OF the
arm of a man. IL was found in a
small mud pocket in the crevice OF
the rock. When they found it,
the men did not stop to speculate
upon any OF the possibilities OF
probabilities of it's presence; they
Immediately gave the "hoist sig
nal" and came out and il was some
time before they made up theil
minds TO return to work or tC
make further Investigations. Man
ager Watkins is sure that the fine
was genuine, and that the bone
was not placed there after the shat
was sunk. I'VE went through sol
id rock and vein matter all the
way down." said Mr.. Watkins
"and the men were at work in th'
bottom when thesbone was uncov
cred. No, sir, it could not have
been placed there by any ont
since the shaft vas sunk. 1t il
