While sympathized with him for

world had any business to stoop to
crime. In some cases necessity may

be held out for my master.

Washington. March 4.-The final
defeat of the Aldrich financial bill
was witnessed in the senate yester-
day, when it was displaced by the
Philippine tariff bill Aldrich ex-
planned in detail his measure and said
that small number of men in the
senate had deliberately, with malice
aforethought, murdered it.
One of the features of the session
was the fact that fer the first time in
TWO years Delaware was represented
in the senate, j. Frank Alice and L.
Hefsler Ball, elected for the long and
short terms respectively, appeared in
the senate and were sworn in by
President Pro TEN Frye. Besides the
two years that Delaware had been to-
tally unrepresented in the senate
there were two years previous to
that time when there was a vacancy
in one of the seats. The senate for
the first time in four years has it's
full membership of ninety.
In the course of the night session,
Quay sprung surprise by offering as
an amendment to the Philippine tariff
bill the statehood bill, which he later
withdrew, remarking 'that the cir
cumstance requiring the offering Of
the amendment had collapsed" The
conference report on the naval and
general deficiency bills were agreed
to.

jackson, March 13.-Present indi-
cations are that the number of
charters filed for record in the Office
of the secretary of state for the month
of March will eclipse all previous
resources made during any one
month. Up to yesterday the Office
had collected in fees alone the sum of
1916, and during the remaining seven
teen days the fees will more than
equal this record for the first part of
the month, as large number of new
enterprises with large capital stocks
have been launched whose charters
have net yet been submitted for APP
prevail. The indications are that the
commercial and industrial progress
of the state during the present year
will even exceed the phenomenal show
ing made in 1902 when 235 charters
with an aggregate capital stock OF
$50, 600, 600 were approved.
