In the Senate,

4h lax SSAoNSs
A house bill was passed Thursday,
Jan. s, by the senate, amending the
internal revenue laws allowing all dis
titled spirits now in bonded ware
houses, or which may hereafter be pro-
duced and deposited therein, the same
allowance for loss from leakage or
evaporation which nov exists in favor
of distilled spirits gagged and deposited
prior to Jan. l, 1899. Mr.. Aldrich Or.
|. (then addressed the senate on the
resolution offered by Mr.. Vest OIo.),
directing the finance committee to re-
port a bill removing the duty on an
thracite coal. He declared that the
proposed resolution would fail of the
proposed end. and that it infringed on
the constitutional rights of the public
in respect to revenue bills. He said
that a Democratic senate in 1894 had
failed to vote to put a duty of 40 cents
on coal, and that the same senators
favored free coal, except on the day
when they could have voted Tor it.
Mr.. Vest, in replying, asserted that Mr..
Dingley, the father of the tariff law,
had stated that the high duty was
placed on coal in order to negotiate
reciprocity treaties. He read a state
ltuJ lloll d newspaper " plONt LIE
assertion. Mr.. Hale (Me.) doubted the
correctness of this statement, and paid
a feeling tribute to the memory of
Dingley. The resolution finally went
over until the next legislation day. Mr..
Nelson (Minn.) continued his remarks
against the omnibus statehood bill. A
few minor bills were passed, and the
senate adjourned until Monday.

Monday, Jan. ~, the report of the COM
mittee of the senate on its investiga-
ton of affairs in the Hawaiian islands.
The Vest resolution directing the COM
mittee on finance to report a bill to re-
move the duty on coal was called up,
and Mr.. Aldrich (R. - asked that the
bill go over, announcing at the same
time that there were strong hopes that
action for the removal of the duty
would be taken elsewhere. Mr.. Vest
(Mo.) objected, declaring that to allow
the resolution to "go into the uncertain
and nebulous future" would be equiva-
lent to its defeat. Mr.. Vest also called
attention to the action of the legisla.
ture of Rhode Island in asking the re-
moval of the duty on coal, and referred
TO his recent remarks regarding the at
titude of Mr.. Dingley in regard TO the
duty. Mr.. Carmack (Tenn.) supported
Mr.. Vest. Mr.. Aldrich referred to the
resolution passed by the legislature OF
his state and declared that the people
of Rhode Island understood his posi-
ton on the tariff question. Mr.. Mel
son (Minn.) continued his remarks or
the omnibus statehood bill. A number
of private pension bills were passed by
unanimous consent. Mr.. Mitchell
(Ore.) announced the death in Wash
ington Sunday of Representative
Tongue of oregon. and offered the usu'
al resolutions expressing the sorrow Of

E COste, the president Of the Cana
dian Mining Institute, recently read
an interesting paper before that body.
setting forth his reasons for believ-
ing that petroleum deposits Of the
world are Of volcanic origin, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. He
points out a number Of facts which
render the theory at present generally
held BY geologists-that It has arisen
directly from the decomposition Of
organic remains, animal and vegetable
-untenable- He calls attention 70 the
fact that no such process is at present
under way; that all organic decompO-
sitiOn Of animal material is so rapid
and complete that there is no oppOT-
tunity for the entOmbment Of anything
but bones in sedimentary rocks; that
as the oil deposits Of the lower 81
Iurian limestone Of Ohio and Of other
fields are below the carboniferOus
beds, and as it is generally admitted
by biologists that previous to the lat
ter age there was very little vegetable
life on the earth, these enormous de
posts could not have arisen from or
ganic remains, because there were
few organisms at that time. and, final
y, that If petroleum was due 10 the
destructive distilIatiOn OF coal, there
would now be no coal beds, all having
long ago been transformed into Pc

Dismal of smnl,e

At a recent congress OF the SAINT
tary institute. held in Aanchester,
England, w n Shaw discussed the
question Of smoke abatement He
drew an interesting parallel between
the treatment Of smoke and the dis
pOsal Of sewage and stated that in
London nearly a million tons Of sew
age were removed day by day fnum
about 100000 houses. averaging about
q ton and One-half for each house At
the same time, each day in winter
each house throws into the atmosphere
on the average, perhaps. ten tons Of
smoke laden air, or a total of $780,
600 tons Of smoke laden air for the
Inhabited houses Of London per day.
That was his estimate Of the amount
Of refuse which is thrown into the
London atmosphere.
