COL. BANKHEAD CONTENDS
 FOR FAST MAIL SERVICE

''The result will and is that every morn' ing at o'clock . special train consist ing of nothing but mall cars leaves Wash ington for the South. All the passenger traffic has been shut off, and this special train, put on for the exclusive purpose of expediting the mails. is given the right of way over all Southern railway trains of whatever character.
 The result is that this train takes up all the mail which comes to Washington from New York, Boston, Buffalo, Cap- ada and all points East, and such mail in transit Is immediately transferred and sent to its destination.
 The great Sunset train over the Southern Pacific has been changed in it's schedule so as to make instant connec- tion with this exclusive mall train out of Washington at New Orleans and the result is that the train leaving here at s this morning reaches New Orleans at ai:bo tomorrow morning. and Houston. San Antonio and other farther points in . proportionately rated time,
 Now, insist that this special mall for the South, constituting as it unaues- tionabiy does. the handspring of business activity at the South, and costing only N2,000. ought not to be interfered with by this House. after we have iabored year after year for many wearisome years to bring 1t about and to give such great benefits ther~y to a multitude of people,"
 ''The fact is." said Colonel Banlshead in conclusion. the mails between Wash ington, Montgomery. Birmingham. Mobile and New Orleans have been exosdited of late twelve hours.''
 It is believed that the House will to- morrow sustain the appropriation for the fast Southern mall. Colonel Bankhead and most of the other Southern members are making strong fight tonight with hopes of success.

For Greater Navy.

Swift upon the plea in The Advertiser that it had come to the point where we had to shut up on the Monroe doctrine or put up on adequate navy to maintain it, comes this declaration from Congress- man Dayton of West Virginia in the House today: We must put up or shut up talking about the Monroe doctrine.

ers who assembled in Des MONIES to-
day for a three days convention pur-
pose to get after the meat trust with
a sharp stick and find out why they
are receiving SO much less for their
cattle products now than formerly.
Reports prepared by Secretary John
Simpson of the state agricultural So
siety for presentation to the conven-
tion tend to prove that the meat com.
bine has cheated Iowa farmers out Of
an average OF $50 a head on cattle for
the last year at $3.50 to $S.65 a hun
dred, it has declined to prices ranging
from 1886 to $3.50, though there has
been no corresponding decline in the
price of the dressed product. Iowa's
tribute to the meat trust in the ag-
gregate is estimated at $4,000, 900
loss on cattle, to say nothing Of minor
losses on sheep and other small stock.

The quotation is Is points less than

shrinkage in railroad earnings, Atch-

Il is figured that If the gross earnings
