New Financial Bill.

The financial bill which a sub-commit-
tee OF the Senate is now framing for
presentation in that body at the special
session next November will be perfected
at the next meeting of the committee,
TO be held, August 10, at Senator Aid
rich's home at Warwick Neck, r. |.
In order to prepare a measure that
would be likely to meet the approval of
the administration, members of Congress
and prominent flnanciers of the country,
special care has been taken to secure the
views of those persons specially concern
ed in financial Legislation.
The chief features of the new measure
will be those of the Aldrch bill of the
last Congress. Provision is expected to
be made for deposit in national banks Of
receipts from the collection of customs
as we'll as internal revenue receipts,
and for the acceptance of state, munich
pal and hgh-class railroad bonds as
security for such deposits.
Provision for asset currency is made
in the new measure, and this is a feature
which had not been incorporated in the
Aldrich bill. Some Senators believe the
prOpOsltlOH sDOulu De worked out ID
separate measure If at all, but the senti-
ment in the House makes it necessary
to combine all currency legislation in
the bill. The details Of the plan have
not been perfected, but the idea is to
allow banks to issue circulation up to
about 30 per cent of the capital stock
and put tax on circulation, so issued,
of about 3 per cent.
An increased circulation of this char
acter would only be issued in times of
emergency, such as is annually caused
In the fall of the year by the moving of
crops. When the need for asset cur
rency subsidized, it is believed that it
would be driven into retirement by the
tax. Thus the measure would act au-
tomatically, expanding the currency
when money was needed and contracting
when that time had passed.
1t is understood, however, that the
committee has not yet come to a definite
decision of the asset currency features
of the bill, but that all details will be
settled satisfactorily at the next meeting
in August.

A Million Dollars Loss.

Forest Commissioner Ring has made a
lengthy report on the loss in Maine by
forest fires in the spring of 1903. From
facts and figures received at his office be
places the loss at 227 ,495 acres, about 2
per cent of the wooded area of the State,
and the money loss at l,04l ,210.
As to the causes assigned it will be
seen that number were occasioned by
porcupine hunters. By far the most
destructive of the fires was that which
started June 2nd in the vicinity of Web,
ster lake on Township No. G, Range 10
in Piscatquis county and was driven by
the gale OF June 3rd across the town of
CIR. 8; AR. 8; Or. g.; and AR. s and it is
estimated that 1t burned over Sc, 900 acres
of land on which stood some of the finest
timber In the state. In some sections
the timber was entirely consumed. The
cause was unknown.
While in many cases the cause of the
fire was unknown summing up shows
practically the following causes UG-
known, SO; clearing land, So; railroads
81; fishermen, Il; smokers, u; camp
ing parties, 8; porcupine hunters, II;
burning burberry lands, o; burning
brush, q; fire from adjoining town, 2;

explains the cordiality of the reception
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
on their visit to the evergreen isle. The

By his tactfulness and his proofs OF a

land bill, a measure that bids fair to
settle the age-long land Question by
eliminating landlordism and creating n
class of peasant proprietors and that Is
likely to do more for the material inter-

measure Of home rule, But the visible
proof of the Kings interest In his Irish
subjects Is his personal presence among

those two exceptions no British Sover-
