oId snax Caused Wreck.

Examining the hull of the Sun. which sank outside the ship channel Tn Mobile Bay Saturday night. while putting in to Mobile for coal, en route from Memphis to Pensacola, reveals the fact that 1t was an old war time snag that caused the wreck of the vessel. The boat is still lying in about six feet of water. where she sank.
 The hull. which has been examined by divers, showed a big hcle fin the stern. During the war days with the trouble. the harbor was planted with stakes and snags, designed to prevent any boat from coming up the bay. to the city. They were put in the shall low water as we'll as the deep, in os- der that boats with slight draught might be kept away as well as tho heaviest -of-war.
 After the surrender of the city, when the war had closed, the snags were all removed from the ship channel. and there has never been any special occa- sion for the removal of the others, and most of them still remain. The Sun in coming up to the city had not kept within the channel as she had a New Orleans pilot aboard who was not fa- miliar with this channel
 The steamer swept to enc side of the channel until she finally ran into one of these old war time snags. As soon as she struck one of the engines of the boat were reversed. The steame. struck another snas. as she backed up, planting a big hole in her hull. Az arrangements have been made for the repairs to the steamer, and 1t is be- lieved that she will again soon be ip service.

POULTRY SHOW IS ON
FINE EXHIBIT OF CHICKENS IN
 MOBILE.
Brofher-ln-Law of Former Mayor La- varetta Ia Fined In Police Court for
 Punching the Ex-Executive.
Advertlser Rureau,

AuYerGseF Bureau,
 Mobile. Dec. IS.
 Amid the crow of many chickens. the third annual exhibition of the Noble Poultry Breeders Association was for merly opened today.
 There was a host of chickens of all sorts and descriptions, to say nothing of the ducks and turkeys and pigeons. cats and dogs, and rabbits and other poultry, and pet animals.
 From the number and character of the exhibit as we'll as from the large attendance of visitors. the success of the show seems fully assured.
 Even the streak of cold weather that have no effect towards dampening the ardor and good spirit either of the ex- hibitors or the interested onlookers.
 N. L. Hutchinson, of Crystal Springs Miss, arrived in the city Sunday, and has already begun his task of judging the various fowls. that prizes for the best may be awarded.
 He is marking the exhibits very care fully. grading each fowl displayed mp on thirty-two points. There are about fifty different exhibits from different portions of the South, four different States being represented. These are Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Every conceivable kind of poultry and pet stock is oa display One of the very interesting fe..tures Is the Patching incubator" The eggs were placed In 1t and during the show the matching process will be shown This feature attracts a great deal of attention. The incubator contains eighty-five eggs.

 Tn the bill advocated by the bankers. 1t was provided that tax of 1-2 per centum should be- paid by National Banks on credit currency equal to 25 per centum of their capital The com mittee increased the tax on bank notes to 3 percentum. No change was made on the provision that National Banks may also take out further amount of National Bank guarantee credit notes equal to f2 1-2 percentum of its capi- tai with interest at the rate of per- centun.
 Another change of importance made by the committee is one providing that NationalBanking organizations desiring to take out credit notes and having notes outstanding in excess of s2 1-2 percentum of their paid~up capital, may redeem such excess without ref erence to the limitation of s1,000,0O0 each month prescribed by the act of July 12, 1882.
 The bill as recorded, extends the privilege of issuing credit currency only to National Banking institutions which have been in business for one year and have a surplus equal to 20 per centum of their capital The Ma tional Bank guaranteed credit notes authorized by the bill may be taken out for issue without a deposit of United States bonds as now required by law. The notes will be of formed de- nominations designed by the comptrol- Ter of the Currency.
 If the measure be passed as reported by the House Committee, every Ma tional Bank meeting the requirements of the bill will be permitted to issue emergency or credit currency in the sum of $37,500 for every $1O0,000 of its capital. It is maintained by the sup porters of the bill that 1t will afford sufficient elasticity in the currency to relieve the pressure for money which occurs at crop-moving time and in great emergencies. Bankers estimate the amount of additional currency which the measure would afford at S2OO OOO. 900.
