buy stock of bank or cotton mill.
Mr. Guion said he had not said 50.
What he had said was that this amend
mcnt would permit bank to hold stock
of another bank, or cotton mill to hold
stock of another cotton mill in the same
way that the law of 1885 permitted a
railroad company to own stock of anoth-
er railroad company.
Mr. Smith said that, if the present law
permitted the formation of trusts as
Mr.. Guion had said, he hoped that gem

stead Of bolstering it up with amend :
ments. He moved the matter be deferred
until today.
Mr. Lucas, of Hyde, arose to speak

THE WATTS BILL.
When the Watts Liquor Pill was
placed before the House, Judge Graham
moved that the House go into Committee
Of the Whole, in order to expedite the
matter.
Mr.. Watts agreed TO this: but Mr.
Morton opposed it.
ie said that when a bill was discussed
IN Committee of the Whole, it was taken
up section by section, and he wanted to
say that there were sections of this bill
diametrically opposed to other sections,
and certain inconsistencies in it that made
it absolutely ludicrous. The bill should
be discussed by comparing section with
section, and not disposing of one section
by itself.

reason for this is obvious. To adopt the

improved Springfield pattern, all Of which

Under the New Bill.
Brooklyn Eagle.
The War Department is making extensive
preparations to put into effect the pro-
visions of the militia bill, and Secretary
Root expects to distribute among the Ma
tonal Guard organizations of the country
something like 100 900 modern rifles, while at
the same time he is looking about for a
suitable site for holding army field maneu-
vers In the East, in which the militia of
New York and adjoining States may take
part.
: The duty of furnishing new rifles and am
munition to the state troops will fall on
General Crozier, chief Of the ordnance de-
partment of the army. General Crozier said
to the Eagle correspondent to-day that ii is
one of the rules of the service never to re-
veal the number OF guns and amount of
ammunition that the department has at its
disposal.
THAT is one of the things" he said, shat
we think best to keep secret. don't mind
saying, however. that We have plenty of
rifles to go around among the organized
militia, SO that none OF them need have any
fear about getting left. AS soon as the bill
becomes law we will be ready to call in
the old guns now in the hands OF the Ma
tional Guard and issue In exchange for
them the standard service weapon. These
rifles are now stored at the various ar
senals and there will be no delay In send

two or three months It is liable to be an

424.-A COUNCIL OF THE FATHERS.

This famous council was held In town
on the Father Of Waters, and The Father
of His Country was at once voted into the
chair. The Discussion was opened by The
Father OF English Poetry, but when he had
quoted at length from The Man of Law
Father OF English Prose: who said that his
royal pupil. Elizabeth, held quite opposite
views. Then up rose the venerable form
of The Father OF Epic Poetry, who de-
clared that neither Nestor nor Agamemhon
had ever heard any other opinion than that
given by the first speaker, whereupon he
was fatty contradicted by The Father of
History, who said that in all the famous
lands he had visited nothing whatever had
been heard Of such views. However, as
this last speaker had no very high reputa-
ton for veracity, his remarks produced
Philosophy then read at length from his

and Chief Justice, nor at any time during
the first third of the 10Th century, had any
such ideas been considered lawful. The
father of Greek Tragedy had brought along
his "Prometheus Bound" but not finding
anything in it to help settle the dispute.
he was about to vote with the opposition,
when the Father Of the Faithful arose to
settle the whole controversy by a quotation
from the Scriptures, which again threw
every one into confusion. All this
wrangling brought on the scene a sinister
figure whom all recognized at once as The
Father of Lies and all started promptly
for the door, crying out, Get thee behind

them, Come. come, gentlemen, let US be
