Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The decis- ion f the national government to issue S150,000,000 in bonds and certificates met with gener' al approval throughout the West. The benefits expected to result from the move were anticipated in the higher grain markets, both here and in other grain cen ters of the West. Bulls were disposed to buy for some time past, and shorts took to cover hastily as soon as the plan was announced.
 In this city some of the lead ing bankers announced that preparations were rnder way for the resumption of business on a normal cash basis, and it was believed, they said, that in side of ten days at the outside the clearing house checks would be withdrawn from circulation. Leading business men here agreed with the bankers that the issue of the bonds and certlti- cates will be of great force in bringing the affairs of the coun- try banks to the condition pre- vailing three months ago.
 All of them were of the opin- ion that the issue of $50, ,000, ,000 would be subscribed several times over, and .the report from St. Louis that one man there was anxious to take one three hundreths of the total issue was cited as proof of the accuracy of this opinion.

$50, 100000 IN BONDS
Government to Issue that Amount of
 Interest Bearing Currency

New York, Nov. 18.-The an nouncement of the plan of Pres ident Roosevelt and Secretary COrtelyou to issue S50,OO0, ,OOO in Panama bonds and S100, 100000 one-year treasury certificates
 bearing 5 per cent interest was the topic of discussion in tinan- cial circles today. The short term certificates attracted most discussion, because of the com, parative novelty of such an is sue in this country. It is the general opinion that the two measures and especially the of fer of the certificates, will draw
 much money from the small hOards, as was the case with the popular loan of 1896. It is be- lieved that these certificates would be acceptable at the Bank of France, if it should be neces
 sary to obtain more gold there, according to the plans which were under discussion last week.

 Their Juat Dues.

Cincinnatf Feb 15--one of the most important actions ever instituted by railroad official for the return Of freight cars from other roads, will soon be taken in the United States Court by Judson Harmon. receiver for the Fere Marquette and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton roads.
 There arc several thousand of freight cars of these two roads held by many of the roads of the country. and 1t is the intention of MT Harmon to compel these roads to give an accounting for the use of his cars. He said today:
 "I shall soon institute suit in the United States Court against the roads that have been using our ears illegal Iy. I will bring the suit either for an accountingof profit accruing to these roads from the use of our cars or for damages for the loss In business to us because of our ears were not being re- delivered in a reasonable time. Which ever action will net the most money to the Pere Marquette and the Cincin- natl, Hamilton and Dayton will be the one I shall bring, As an officer of the United States Court in charge of these properties I am determined that the roads using our cars must return them !"
 The action contemplated is the most sweeping of its kind ever taken In this country.

 The members of the household of the Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Richard. takes excertion to the idea that an agreement relating to che churches will ir any sense constitute a solution of the religious issue. In this connec- ton prelate who is close to the Arch bishop said:

RECESS UNDECIDED POLITICS WAKING UF
COMMITTEE CAN'T AGREE ON DATE
 FOR ADJOURNMENT.
Legisiature Expected to Remain In ses- sion Unti. Passage of All Adm:nis- tration Measures Before Tenn
 porary Disbandment.

The Joint Committee on Recess last night was unable to agree upon any date for the recess of the Alabama Leg islature. It was said .ast night by members of the committee that by the middle of next week day would be agreed upon, on which the Legislature would recess for three or four months.
 The Joint Recess Committee is com posed of Senators Herbert Reynolds and John A. Lusk. for the Senate. and Representatives, T. L. Bu,ger, J. Lee Long, and H B. Sieagall for the House. A member of the committee said last night that several important admins tration measures were yet before the Legislature unpassed and that a recess would hardly be considered until the administration measure. dealing with the railroad rate question had been disposed of. These measures. he said were special orders in the House, and they would be disposed of either today or Monday. When they were finally off the calendar the question of q re- cess could be taken up.
 ! This conf ms the general impression that 1t Is the wish of the Governor thai the Legislature shall remain in session until either thirty-five or forty legis- lative days have passed. The Legisla- ture has now had twenty-five legisla- tive days which Is exactly half of the time allowed under the Constitution After the recess, the Legislature will come back in July. and if 1t has not completed It's work when the fifty days are up tte Governor will extend It's working time by call for an extra session.

DISCUSS MINE BILL
COMMITTEE HEARS ARGUMENTS ON
 PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
Measure Increases RespOnt ibtlity Of OperntOrs--Subztitute to Be Pre-
 pared for Child Labor Law --AAectN Cotton MiIl9.

For over three hours yesterday after noon the House Committee on Mining and Manufactures was in session, hear ing arguments on the lengthy mine regulation bill. Five statements, three by representatives of the operators against the measure, and two by rep resentatives of the union men In favor of it, were made to the committee.
 The measure was taken under ad- visemenL by the committee.
 The first speaker before the commit tee was Walker Percy. general 1oun- gel of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. and of the Re yublic Iron and Steel Company. He was followed by William R. Fairley, the member of the National Executive Committee of the United Mine Workers for the Alabama District, and by Capt. Frank s. White, attorney for the Mine Workers, Fora mer state Senator Hugh Morrow and Congressman Sidney J. Bowie closed the argument on behalf of the opera tors.
 Among the operators from the Bir- mingham district who attended the meeting were G. B. Mccormick and
 Erskine Ramsay. stockholders in the
 Pratt Consolidated Coal Mines Colon-
 el J. c. Maben president of the
 Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com
 pany; Jones G. Moore, superintendent
 of the same company, and John Il.
 Adams. of the Sayre Mining and Man"
 ufacturing Company.
 The measure greatly increases the liability of the owners of coal mines. It contains something like seventy five sections, some of which are con- sidered by many to be very drastic in character. It is said to have been drawn at the instance of the United Mine Workers. Before taking up the mine bill. the committee considered the child labor bill In executive session. and after some argument 1t was agreed a sub 1 stItute measure should be drawn [. !; The work of drafting this substitute
 was placed in the hands of sub : committee composed of Chairman
 Bloch, MT Moore and Colonel John :. This substitute will apply only to , cotton mills. and will prohibit the labor of children, the rS.nimum age ! for boys being "--alVe years and four l taau vears for girls

 Chairman c. P. Jones, of the Central Council, Is out of the city. but the members of the Council expect a con- venrton of the Council will be held ney! week. Monday night is tenta- lively named as the time of meeting, hut as ths CIty Council Is to have a session trt. night 1t Is probable an- other time will be selected.
 In ths meantime, politics is dull. Op- pos ton tt Mayor Teague, who Is a oaIGioate fo. reelection has not proven interesting though the proposal of an ether candidete at any time would not be especially surprising The only break in the nonotony Is the sporadic announcement of a candidate for the City Council. Even among these as. pirants, whose name was once said to be legion, there Is an apathy which seems to render them unwilling to adopt an initiative.
 W. W. Seidle has made his formal announcement from the Fourth Ward, and 1t Is expected next week will bring out candidates all over the city.

DEBATE ON BILL.
Question of Extent of Senate Amend.
 ment to Appeal Measure.

ment to Appeal Measure.
 Washington. Feb. 15.--The bill giv- ing the government the right of appeal in criminal prosecutions which after passing the House was amended and passed by the Senate was the sub ject of an extended debate among the lawyers of the House today.
 Representative Jenkins of wiscon- sin. chairman of the Judiciary com mittee. stated that in view of the action of the Senate in striking out exchange in the House bill and vir- tualfy passing new bill, he was ad- verse to doing anything with the measure until the House had a chance to know just exactly what the Sen ate amendment contemplated.
 "The Senate amendments said Mr. Jenkins ''curtail and prevent the Su- preme Court from doing what the pres ident and the department of justice desire regarding appeals in criminal prosecutions" and he added the decIa- ration that they take all the vitality out of the House bill"
 It was the opinion of MT. Keller of Ohio that instead of curtailng the rghts of the government to take ad- vantage of appeals, the Senate amend ments really enlarged them.
 MT. Jenkins replied that the Sen ate amendments made it impossible on the part of the government ever to obtain an opinion of the Supreme Court on any question involved in any case where the verdict was in favor of the defendant and against the Uni- ted States.
 There was a sharp tilt between Mir. Jenkins and Mir. Payne of New York, after which the bill with the amend ments was sent to the committee on the judiciary
