NO BUREAU OF MINES.
Blow Dealt by a House COMMITTEES
Report.

The House committee on minis and
mining has dealt death blow 20 the
proposition to establish a government
bureau of geology and mines. In It's re-
port the committee calls attention to the
fact that the original bill was one of sew
eral, all seeking greater or less degree
of departmental recognition for the min
ing industries of the country as such One
of these bills seeks to create an executive
department with cabinet secretary at
its head; one looks to bureau in the De-
partment of the Interior while the bill
reported provides for a bureau In the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, whose
chief officer is styled director of geology
and mining
1T seems quite out of the question at
this time" the committee says ITO take
any action on the bill establishing q min
Ing department wi n the expectation of
securing favorable action from the Con-
gress. The opinf IN of the committee
seems to be entirely unanimous on the
ACCESSIBILITY OF such a course. The mining
industries, the greatest single productive
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-02-15

source of national wealth except agri-
culture, demands much greater degree
of goI rnmental recognition than they
have thus far received. They lie at the
very foundation of our prosperity, and
their own prosperity is an essential con-
dition of our growth. Their intimate re-
lation with every form OF productive in
dustry need only be mentioned.
What the Congress may ultimately do
toward further recognition of this In
dustry must necessarily be largely a mat
tr of growth as the situation develops.
Several of the executive departments
have started as bureaus and have been
enlarged from time to time as their work
and its Importance grew. The committee
hopes that such may be the case with the
legislation under contemplation.

TAX ON LEAF TOBACCO.
Favorable Report To Be Made on
Compromise Measure.

A compromise bill removing all internai
revenue tax from leaf tobacco was agreed
i,pon for a favorable report by the House
ways and means committee yesterday. At
present internal revenue laws impose tax
on leaf tobacco In case the producer places
1t in the hands of an agent for sale, but
permits the grower personally to sell his
own tobacco without tax. Under the meas
ure agreed upon the sale of leaf tobacco
will be as unrestricted as the sale of any
other product. Tobacco growers endeavor-
cd to have the bill extend exemption from
tax to twist tobacco, but the COMMITTEES
would not include anything in the measure

IN LATE SHANGHAI RIOT.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 1b-C. Z.
Young an eyewitness of the recent riot
in Shanghai, arrived here yesterday from
the orient on the steamer Doric. He tells
OF the intense anti-foreign sentiment that
exists among the Chinese and predicts that
an uprising will take place within the next
few months
Young says that 200 Chinese were killed
in the riot in Shanghai and that only the
presence of the foreign gunboat at Shang-
hal prevented the wholesale slaughter of
Americans and Englishmen. Young repre-
sents local firm, but, because of the boy
colt, he was unable to transact any bust

Trouble Regarded as Certain.

THAT there will be trouble in China is
almost certainty. All the Chinese want
now is leader. The hatred Of foreigners
is there, and all tho populace want is some
one to stir them up to repeat the atrocities
of the Boxer uprising. The foreigner who
visits Canton at present does so at the risk
of his life. The crowds gather about the
foreigners in the streets of the city, ana on
