Proceedings Of the House.
~. & cSaciatnd RraSS


WASHINGTON, D. c., December O
After debating the London dock charge
t;ll for almost four hours. tho House to-
dav chopped it's head off BY striking out
the enacting clause, l3S to 10.
This killed the bill. The debate vas
sp;rited on both Sides. and all day the
members were Hooded with kilograms. The
withdrawal OF the support OF the lumber
and meat packing interests, which o:iS-
inally joined hands with the -four milling
interests in pressing the measure, brought
about Its defeat. The final vote: was 13s
70 100 in favor of the bill on motion to
strike out the cna citing clause
Speeches were made in favor OF the bill
bv MI Tawney. OF Minnesota. and Mr.
Richardson. of Alabama, and against by
Mcssrs Adamson s(Gcorgia1 1'Wanger. Ad-
an7: and Dal3ell Pennsylvania, Burleson
and Burgess tTexas) and Mann, u!i1nois).

nose of the bill, which, &c said. applied
or,lv to the port of London and was SIM
rlv DESIGNED to relieve the American ship
ul.r OF tire charge made BY the transport
Ing companies for delivering goods over
thc side Of the vessel. This charge, he
nav said, was included in, the contract of
shipment. The bill would prevent such
a contract.

NOT 4 PASSENGER CARRIED
NEW ORLEANS STREET CAR
TRAFFIC SUSPENDED.
Only TWO Cars Loaded With Mail
Moved Since Waikout Was
Ordered.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-The street
car strike, which went into effect Sun
day morning at 4:30 o'clock, has al
ready established a record. From the
time the men were ordered out up to
tonight not a single passenger has
been carried and the indications are
that no attempt will be made to oper-
ate cars for the accommodation CT
passenger traffic for some days to
come. Not a single car turned a wheel
yesterday and today only two cars,
both mail cars, loaded to the guards
with policemen and p%ostofice inspec-
ters and carrying mail sacks, have
been able to move.
An attempt was made to move 9th
Ell mail cars, but it proved futile. At
the car barns today there was rioting
when an effort was made to bring
cars out with %non-union men, but no
one was seriously hurt. A policeman
was struck with a brick and painfully
DIulSGu. 1ulS was ClC Ouly casually.
Several Cars Mobbed.
Several cars were mobbed and the
controllers appropriated by the strik-
efs and their sympathizers. If the
company had persisted in trying to
operate cars, there would have been
| bloodshed, but when the officials saw
Nthe temper of the crowds around the
barns they submitted to the inevitable.
Fifteen of the strike leaders, in
Guiding President Comlons OF he To-
Ecal union, were arrested this after
noon on an affidavit made before the
United tSates commissioner, for con-
spring. to stop the delivery of United
States mail. The arrest grew out OF
the tearing down of the mail placards
from some of the street cars when
they tried to start out. The militia
has been ordered to hold itself in
readiness tonight.
The electric linemen in the lighting
department of the street railway com
pany struck today and the entire city
is in darkness.
The striking street a men pre-
vailed on the linemen to go back to
work, however, fearing an outbreak
Of crime if the lights We're shut Off.
The situation is critical in the ex.
IRENE. Efforts to arrange for a con
ference between officials and strikers
were of no avail.

CIVIL WAR POSSIBLE.
Serious Trouble Resulting From Fed
GRAFTON Likely in Australia.

M@WWH. MTNNEE IHU U%WEaN.
New York, Sept. 29.-Although
ominous reports have for some time
past been received from Queensland,
and Premier Robert Philip open
ly advocates the secession OF That
state from the federal union, the con-
stitution cannot be unmade with the
ease that the premier of Queensland
imagined, cables the London CORE
~spondent Of the Tribune.
+ The commonwealth act does not
make provision for secession and ap-
parently there are -no means OF 'oD-
tanning separation short Of an act
of repeal or civil war. Premier Philip
seems to anticipate that he will re-
ceive the support of the people OF
New South Wales and West Australia
who also are dissatisfied with present
conditions, but the extreme measure
is not likely to be taken.
Still this unrest is having a very
prejudicial effect OF business in the
commonwealth and nearly every Aus
tralian government loan has suffer
ed in value during the last fortnight.
The trouble arose out of the fact that
Queensland had been hard hit by fed
eral legislation on the colored labor
question, which practically annihil-
ate the sugar industry. in which hun
dreds Of pounds of British capital has
been invested.

secured by government bonds. This
will make available tomorrow over
$50, 000, 900.
Secretary Shaw declined to discuss
the financial situation further than to
say that the treasury department
would cooperate as far as possible
with the banks in their effort to sup
ply the necessary credit to do the UNI
precedented amount Of business that
is taxing railroads and steamship
lines as we'll as banks to the utmost.
Reserve Not Necessary.
Mr.. Shaw said he had never seen
any good reason why banks holding q
government deposit, secured by gov
eminent bonds, should be required to
carry a reserve against it. First 1t
is a deposit not likely to be called In
at a time of stringency, and, second,
il called, the collateral will always
sell for cash in excess of the depos-
It's. He has since he took charge OF
the treasury, contemplated relieving
the banks of this burden.
Will Be a Rule.
The comptroller Of the currency
agrees with the secretary and 1T Is
announced that hereafter banks will
not be required to carry a reserve
against government deposits secured
by government bonds. The treasury
has on deposit with various banks
scattered through the country II
round numbers. $3.50, 100000, agains'
which the banks have heretofore beer
compelled to hold more than thirt,
millions of gold or it's equivalent.
The decision will release that mucl
reserve and thirty millions additions
credit. The secretary said he woult
continue to make deposits Of interna
revenue and miscellaneous receipts
TALL available for that purpose) prac
tically a half million per day, as loni
as the situation warranted.
