RAILROAD LEGISLATION
WILL PASS CONGRESS-

WASHlNGTON-Railroad rate leg
islation will pass. No revenue legis-
lation of any kind will pass this
congress. The merchant marine mea-
sure, though it now stands to claim
first place in senatorial consideration,
will be forced to yield to statehood.
After statehood is disposed of, the
rate bill will be taken up by the SEN
ate, probably the latter part of Jan
uary or early in February.
Foregoing is the program of con-
gress laid down by the head of the
republican steering committee, the
oldest senator Allison, and probably
the man who will have largest in
fluence in determining the order of
business. The senator would not COM
nit himself before recess, to any
policy; but during the holiday visit
In the west he has been interviewed
and the forcing is his statement of
congressional probabilities.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT
STILL HIS PORTION

WASHINGTON-The supreme court
of the United States affirmed the de-
cision of the Kentucky court of appeals
in the case of James B. Howard
against the state of Kentucky.
Howard was tried three times in the
circuit court of Franklin county, Ken
lucky, on the charge of numbering
Governor William Goebel of Kentucky,
on January 80, 1900, and convicted
each time. He is now under sentence
to life Imprisonment, and he brought
the case to secure a review of the rul
ing of the Kentucky court of appeals,
affirming a decision of the circuit
court against allowing him another
trial. His principal allegation was
that the proceedings of the trial court
in the matter of selecting and dis
charging jurymen were irregular.

THE HISTORIC HAVERSACK
SOON TO PASS AWAY

WASHINGTON-Army officers are
now predicting the passing of the his
toric haversack. Some of them have
declared that important article of the
soldiers equipment great impedi-
ment on the march, especially when
the soldiers are conducted through a
country of thick growth or when
streams are to be crossed. 1t is de-
sired to minimize the extra weight
which the soldier must carry when
away from the garrison or base of
supplies. The soldier, too, often at
imminent risk of his own interests,
applies the remedy by the simple
process Of throwing away most Of the
things which theorists have declared
must be carried by him as necessities
of the fighting man in the field.

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY
IN ALL DEPARTMENTS

NEW YORK-Bradstreets review
OF the business year presents an cpl
tome of progress and prosperity in ag-
riculture, trade, industry and specula-
ton. Expansion was the rule in every
department of activity, with cores
ponding increase in returns and strik-
ingly small failure damage, an unpre-
cedented record considering the i'm
mense business done and the number
engaged therein. The review con-
tinues:
The multitude of records broken
shows that new guide posts have, in
deed, been set up. The revival which
began in the last half of 1904, far from
spending it's force, as was often pre-
dicted in the early part of 1905, grew
as the year advanced. True, there was
a period Of hesitation-a breathing
spell, as it were-in the spring of the
year, but this was a pause to get a
clearer view of ultimate crop yields
and enable the business world to take
new bearings. Thenceforth the COM
mercial, financial and industrial move
ment surged forward, weather draw
backs and disclosures of financial rot
tenness in high places failing to stem
the upward trend.

GOOD SHOWING ON
BUILDING COUNTRY ROADS

WASHINGTON = The extent of
government encouragement in the
building of country roads is shown in
a report by the Office of public roads
of the Department of Agriculture.
During the year twenty-one roads
were built by the government in diff.
ferent sections of the country. A COM
parative statement of cost is given
which shows that macadam roads
have a maximum cost of 90 cents, an
average cost of 80 cents per square
yard; sand and clay roads cost 9h
cents burnt clay, 20 cents, and shell
"a cents per square yard. OF the OBJ
ject lesson roads built three were in
Ohio. one in Illinois. three in Mis-
souri,, one in Kansas, two in Washing
ton, one in Texas, one in Louisiana
and seven in Florida.

NEBRASKA is SOLID
FOR THE PAYNE BILL

WASHINGTON - Nebraska will
vote solidly on the Payne Philippine
bill just as the president would want
it to vote" said Senator Willard of
that state before leaving for his home.
Ever since the beet sugar insur-
gency movement began the Nebraska
delegation was not enthusiastic about
fighting the battle for beet sugar 1t
has been recognized that the position
of this state was likely to be decisive,
for Nebraska is one of the most inn
portant beet sugar producing states in
the union. At one time it was rated
second and is now thought to be third
in tonnage of sugar. Notwithstanding
this significant home industry for
which the protectionists of other states
are demanding protection there will
not be a Nebraska vote in the senate or
house against the Payne measure to let
in Philippine sugar at 20 per cent of
the Dingley rates and after 1909 to adj

NJ CALLSTEPSOUT
ALEXANDER E. ORR BECOMES Hle
SUCCESSOR.
THE SALARY IS NOW $4,000
New President of the New York Life
Will Probably Retire In April
Mccall's Resignation Accepted at
His Earnest Request.

NEW YORK-John A. Mccall re-
signed the presidency Of the New
York Life Insurance company and
Alexander Il. Orr was appointed in
his place at the salary of $4,000 a
year. Mr.. McCall's salary was $780,
600. The board of trustees also cut
down number of second vice presi-
dents so that hereafter there will be
two Of these officers instead of three.
Mr.. Mccall, who has for fourteen
years held the Office which he re-
signed, sent a letter to the trustees
in which he said that his errors prob
ably seemed greater to him than to
forted to think of the company's un-
precedented achievements and to
know that no officer or trustee had
proflted improperly at the policy hold
ers' expense.
1t is uncertain whether Mr.. Orr
will retain the presidency beyond
April /, next. when Mr.. McCall's
term would have expired The new
president is a retired merchant of this
city, president of the Rapid Transit
commission, former president of the
Chamber of Commerce and a director
in many financial and philanthropic
institutions. He was born in Tyrone
county, Ireland in 1881.

Call and Vice President Kingsley will
remain in the companys employ. John
G. Mccall is the son of former Presi-
dent Mccall, and is secretary of the
New York Life.
President Orr said that the fact
that the presidents salary had been
reduced to $4,000 did not mean that
the salaries of other officers would be
reduced in the same proportions.
"The resignation of Mr.. Mccall was
passed unanimously" said Mr.. Orr,

so accepted. | have never attended

PANIC PREDICTED
A NEW YORK BANKER is OF THIS
OPINION.
WEAK POINTS IN OUR SYSTEM
Jacob n. Schiff Says There is Great
Danger In the lnelastcity Of the
Currency-A Panic Sure Unless
Changes Are lnaugurated.

NEW YORK-Unless there is cur
rency reform a panic beside which
former panics will seen insignificant
was predicted by Jacob II. Schiff, head
Of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &c
Co, in a speech before the New
York Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Schiff said he did not regard such a
panic as imminent, but believed 1t
will come unless something is done
to remedy the lack of elasticity of
the present currency system. He de-
clared that he did not favor the plan
proposed by Secretary Shaw for re-
lief of the situation it being his opn-
ion that the secretary's plan would
aid speculation rather than legitimate
business
Mr. Schiff favored a currency paper
as more helpful to the general bust
ness interests of the country.
The speech created a sensation in
financial circles and caused a sharp
break in prices on the stock exchange.
The meeting of the chamber was at
tended by large number of business
men and financiers, and a resolution
on the subject offered by Mr.. Schiff
was unanimously adopted. This reso-
luton was:
Resolved, That it be referred to the
committee on finance and currency
of the Chamber of Commerce to
consider the recommendation of the
secretary of the treasury made in his
report to congress, dated December 6,
1905, to permit national banks to is
sue a volume of additional government
guaranteed currency equal in amount
to so per cent to the bond secured
currency maintained by them, but
subject to a tax of or 6 per cent.
until redeemed Be it further
Resolved, That the committee on
finance and currency submit report
at the next monthly meeting of the
chamber on the aforementioned rec
ommendation of the secretary of the
treasury, together with any other diff
| ferent measures which the committee
may be able to suggest as efficient
and practicable for the attainment Of
the purpose for which the recommen-
dalton Of the secretary of the treas
ury has been submitted to congress"
When the tenor of Mr. Schiffs re-
marks became known in Wall street
the effect was shown almost instGn-
taneously in the stock market. There
was a pressure to sell and support
to prices seemed entirely lacking, re
sulting in an uninterrupted decline up
to the close, which was active and
weak. The shares most vulnerable

MAP WILL TELL WHAT TO PLANT
To Indicate Crops Adapted to Certain
Areas.

WASHINGTON-In order to indi-
cate the crops best adapted to certain
areas, the biological survey OF the
department OK agriculture is marking
off the United States into natural life
zones and subdivisions, so that 1T
Will be possible for the farmer to
select from the study of maps and
data to be furnished by the depart
ment the crops best suited to his in
dividual needs. The survey has COM
pleted an interesting report of its
work or the last year.
An effort was made to ascertain
the amount of game and the prices
therefor in the leading markets in the
country Immediately before Thanks
giving day. Reports received dis
closed a growing scarcity in the
supply, due mainly to an increase in
restrictive laws and more effective
enforcement. Ven6son, prairie
chickens and quail were especially
scarce and it is said there appears
to be tendency to replace native
with imported game at moderate
prices.
