LEGISLATIVE NEWS and GOSSIP

The House passed on second reading
Fetzer's bill providing for constitu-
tional amendment by which the people
can vote on a bond issue to refund out
standing warrants to the amount OF
SS25.934.6S. This does not include the
war debt" contracted during Gov
ernor Peabody's administration. A bill
Is pending providing for a constitu-
tfonal amendment to liquidate that
debt. which. with interest, amounts to
something like 81 100000. Fetzer ex-
planned that his bill provided for the
warrants covering the period from
1887 to 1897. including those OF the no
torious ''robber Seventh Two consti-
tutional amendments for bond issues
to cover this debt have been voted
down, for the reason, as Fetzer ex-
planned, that thoy included some lille
gal warrants and also interest. The
bill now under consideration provides
only for the face value of the war
rants. IL does not include $4,000
worth OF warrants designated as

LESS BEER

ST. Louis. Mo-. Oct. 31.--Foliow-
ing close on the financial panic. the
people OF the United States will soon
be called upon to face another na-
tional calamity. The price OF beer

probably be ratified at a nesting to
be held hero tomorrow. II n ex-
pectei that similar action will be
taken by the big brewing companies
OF Milwaukee and other cities. As a
result. smaller glasses of tho JOY
inspiring extract of hops will be
dispensed over the bars OF the coun-
TRY. and a considerably increased
expenditure will be necessary to ac-
quire "souse" by the beer route.
The contemplated raise is from so
TO 81 a barrel. The increased cost
OF hops and other materials. and tho
larger payrolis demanded by brew
cry workmen. is given as the reason
for the raise. Leading brewers here
state that such n raise Is necessary

while the price of all other neccssi-
ties and luxuries OF life has greatly

EN- REGENCY RATIONS
FOR The NAVY

Sew York, Oct. e1.--One hun-
dred thousand emergency rations. to
be used by Uncle Sans sea fighters
when all other food supplies fail,
have juct been received at the
Brooklyn navy yard from western
packing house. While such rations
have been In use In the army for
some time, this Is the first time that
the navy department has ever placed
an order for such food. IL is un-
derstood that the radons Will be
taken on tho cruise OF the feet TO
the Pacific, but will be used only in
case tho ships ehould be cut of from
ordinary supplies.
Tho ration Is packed in cans and
sealed under vacuum, and consti-
tutes the greatest triumph yet
achieved in compressing notritious
food into a small space. Each six
ounces OF parched wheat. eight
ounces OF chocolate and one ounce
OF salt and pepper. The beef is
freed from all fat and muscle and
is dried under q temperature of 115
degrees. leaving only about per
cent. moisture. This causes a shrink
ago of fully 100 per cent. In the
bulk OF tho beef, so that the eight
ounce allowance is equal to a pound
OF ordinary beef. The parched wheat
and chocolate Is also greatly com
preesed and all moisture eliminated.
The ratIons cannot shrink nor spoil.
and will remain In perfect condition
IN any climate for many years. While
II Is not beloved that the feet will
have use for such ratlons, the navy
department has considered II the
part of wisdom 10 be prepared for
any emergency.
