A recent analysis of the water of the
Dead sea shows that there is over "a
per cent. of solid matter in it. The
greatest part of this-over 9 per cent.
is chloride of magnesium. Next in
quantity comes common salt, and then
chlorides of lime, potash, iron and
aluminium in decreasing amounts, with
traces also of salts of ammonium, sill

SUMMARY OF THE DAILY PROCEEDINGS.
The Coal Situation FREEDOM in at es in
the Senate Omnibus Statehood
Bill Comes Up and Senator Nelson
Minn0 Opposes the Measure
Nothing Done in the House.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The senate
recommended yesterday, after re-
cess of IS days, concurrent resolu-
ton providing for the preparation
under the direction of the attorney
general of a compilation of all laws
enacted by the various states relat-
ing to trusts or to combinations in
restraint of trade and for the regula-
ton and reorganization of corpora
lions. Senator Culberson (Tex.)
introduced a joint resolution provid-
ing for the admission of anthracite
coal free of duty. Senator Lodge
(Mass.) introduced bill suspending
for a period of 90 days the duties on
coal imported into the United States.
Senator Mason Qll.) introduced
bill providing for the temporary OPP
Grafton of coal mines. Senator Mel
son (Nlinn.) addressed the senate
against the omnibus statehood bill
and in favor of single state COM
posed of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory.
Washington, Jan. THE day in the
senate yesterday was eventful because
of a notable speech by Senator Hoar
on his bill regulating trusts, and an
attack by Senator Vest on protected
industries through the operation OF
the Dingley law. Senator Hoar said
in concluding his remarks: IF this
bill shall become law and prove eff
fective, no corporation engaging in
the commerce which is within the
jurisdiction of congress can keep its
condition a secret. No such corpora
ton can do business on fictitious capt.
tai or watered stock. No corporation
can Cypress any rival, whether corpo-
rate or individual, by any unlawful
practices. If it do, it will be on the
condition that every one of its man.
ayers become personally liable for its
debts and its acts, and will be liable
also to heavy criminal liability. This
bill depends for it's validity on the con-
stitutional power of congress to regu-
late international and interstate COM
merce."
Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
yesterday discussed the bill for the re-
organization of the militia and also
the statehood bill. A resolution was
adopted for an immediate investiga-
ton into the entire question of coal
supply and the relation between
wholesale and retail prices in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Vests
resolution to put anthracite coal on
the free list was debated in the SEN
ate yesterday, Senator Aldrich Or. ~
speaking against the resolution. SEN
ator Nelson (Minn.) continued his
remarks against the omnibus state
hood bill. A few minor bills were
passed, and the senate adjourned I'M
til Monday.

Nevada go into the banking business
and secure the benefit.
Massachusetts State bonds are tax
able, in the hands of private individ-
uals, but In the hands of the State of
Nevada are not assessable. This
places Massachusetts bonds on a
higher interest than United States
bonds, in so far as the State of Ne
vada is concerned.
The next query is, why should the
State of Massachusetts be selling
bonds? With a taxable property as
sessed at nearly FIVE billion dollars.
This is explained upon the authority
OF that State, which provides that
cities and municipalities desiring to
construct water works, sewerage or
parks, etc, when not possessed of
the necessary funds without borrowing
shall apply to the State and upon
such application and good reason
given, the state accepts security Of
Tered by the city and issues bonds
full and complete for the amount need
ed and by such means bonds go upon
the market at a greatly reduced rate
OF interest, by reason of the better
standing the state has over any town
or city; this not only increases the
value OF the town and city property.

mature
