again.
Ravenspur li7tened with the greatest
interest to the story which the countess
had to tell. She told him wildly enough
of the event III night when she had made
up her mind to leave her husbands ROOT:
and how her life had been saved at a
critical moment by total stranger, who
turned out to be Louis Delahay-the same
Delahay who, years afterwaTd. met Maria
Descaru and made her his wife. She told
the story of the Jewels. and how the time
mad come when she needed them, to turn
into money to aid her in her search for
Vera.> Then she went on to speak of her
meeting with Defahay
"One moment" RayenSpur said when
Louis married you Mrs. Delahay did he
not notice your extraordinary likeness to
the countess, whom he had befrended so
many years ago?'
He couldn't" the countess exclaimed
Not only was our interview in the dark
but l was wearing veil Oh, you may
say 1t was an extraordinary thing to trust
my Vaiuabies to perfect stranger but
more amazing things happen every day.

terror and despair at the time. At any

story or that strange interview. l can

with Mr.. Delahay and how We saw you

useless for a Descarti to expect anything
like happiness in this world. Never was
one of our family yet who was not born to
misery and despair. Still. one can now

Action in Congress.

Speculation in government securities
and in food products is also prohibited
in Germany. Switzerland and In several
other European states. And twelve or tif-
teen years ago an earnest attempt was
made to secure a law by Congress 10
prevent speculation in agricultural prod
ucts. From 1891 to 1895 thousands of pc
titions We're presented in both houses
and hundreds of bills were introduced
prohibiting speculative transactions in
cotton, wheat, corn. pork, provisions and
all other farm products. The House in
1892 passed what is known as the Hatch
anti-option bill Oh. r. 7S45, Fifty-second
Congress, first SESSION.. The Senate con-
CURED with numerous amendments which
the House rejected. A conference com
mittee was appointed TO adjust the differ
enCes, but it never made report because
the members could not agree, and so the
crusade failed.
The bill was quite comprehensive. 1t
prohibited dealings in options, futures
and all fictitious transactions or trans
actions on margins in any product of the
soil. and al. trading by the settlement of
differences or in any other way except
for actual delivery and upon the pay

ing on Statute to Meet Condi-
tons in Peonage Cases.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. January 2l.--
Federal legislation, to more certainly de-
fine the status Of the employer and the
employed. particularly with reference to
the alleged practice of peonage in the
South, is being formulated by Repre-
sentative Sparkman, of Florida, for pre-
scntaton in the House.
In statement to-day Mr. Sparkman
indicated the extreme difficulty of draft
ing y bill which would give adequate
or, In fact, any measure of relief, par
ticularly to the employer of labor, who.
he said, was often placed at great dis
advantage owing to the rigor OF peonage
prosecutions in the Federal courts. 1t
was q frequent occurrence, he said, for
negroes to make charges of maltreat-
ment against their employers simply for
the purpose of being summoned as wit
ncsses in the Federal courts, for which
a fee is paid sufficient to support the
negro in idleness during the tendency
of the suit. There We're, Mr.. Sparkman
maintained. many other points where
injustice results from the present mode
of legal procedure in determining charges
OF peonage, for which correction Is
needed.
Mr.. Sparkman has not completed the
draft of any measure which as yet meets
his approval.
