CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-A bill
of considerable interest to northern
Wisconsin was introduced by SenatCa
La Toilette. It provides for cutting
and manufacturing into lumber all
dead and down timber, and such fully
ripened green timber as the forest
service shall designate, upon each OF
the Indian reservations in Wisconsin.
All such cutting and manufacturing
is to be done under direction of the
secretary of the interior. Under SUI
pervision of that official, suitable saw
mills are to be built and equipped and,
so far as possible, none but Indians
are to be employed in forest prctec-
ton, logging, saving and manufacture
ing. 1t is provided also that here
after no contract for the cutting or
manufacturing of timber on reserva-
lions in Wisconsin shall be let, sublet
or assigned to white men.
During the debate in the penal code
bill applause coupled with laughter
was accorded Mr.. Kuestermann of
Wisconsin, who declared that the
trouble with the bill was that there
were too many lawyers in the house
to discuss it. If, he saids the lawyers
would retire and let the manufacture
ers. the merchants and the farmers
have chance they would do the work
and the bill would be passed.
The establishment of the United
States National Bank OF America is
provided for in a bill introduced by
Mr.. Fornes, (Dem.) of New York.
The bank is to have capital of $780,
100000 divided into 100000 shares,
three-fifths to be purchased by the
United States treasurer and two-fifths
by national banks.
Mail order and other large whole
sale and retail houses in Chicago
have been using for advertising pur-
poses lists of names which they have
been able to secure from postmasters
and rural free delivery carriers of
the patrons served by them. The
small country merchants have com
planned about it. One of the first
moves on their part was taken when
Representative Richardson of Alabama
introduced bill prohibiting post
masters and ether postal employees
from furnishing lists OF names of
patrons of their offices to anyone
except the publishers of directories,
who may obtain the information un-
der certain conditions, but in no case

Washington, y. c., Jan. 21.-At the
close of day of excitement in the
house Of representatives an amend
ment was added to the penal code bill
making it a criminal offense. for any
officer or employee of the government
to give out advance information re-
garding any crop statistics authorized
by law to be prepared. Earlier in the
day interest attached to a tilt between
Mr. Dalzol1 Of Pennsylvania and Mr..
Randell of Texas over the Iatter's
amendments prohibiting senators or
members from being employed By
public ser ice corporations. Believ-
ing Mr.. Randell lad insinuated he rep
resented such corporations at this
time Mr.. Dalzell grew indignant and
declared he had not been employed in
such capacity for twenty years.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Unrestrained
OPP 1rtunity to express their views on
.he immigration question was afforded
members of the house by decision,
soon after converting, to take up and
consider the bill appropriating $780,
200 for the immigrant station in Phila-
delphia, and so many took advantage
OF it that the code of laws bin, which
the managers of the house had plan
ned to take up, was sidetracked for
the day. Discussion of the station
bill opened up the whole subject of inn
migration and excited the interest of
the entire house. Members on both
sides clamored for recognition, which
carried with it the right to speak for
an hour if one so desired. The dis
cussion served to develop violent OPP
position. led by Messrs. Hepburn and
Byrd, to certain classes of immigrants
coming to the United States, while
others made earnest pleas for them
upon the ground that the prosperity of
the country had been advanced be-
cause Of their presence in this coun-
try. The debate was notable in that
1t was INDUCED in largely by members
serving Their first terms and who
found in the bill a chance to make
their maiden efforts at speechmaking
on the floor of the house. The entire
session was devoted to consideration
of the bill, which was passed.

yesterday of State Treasurer Frank
P. Glazier of Chelsea and the APP
pointment of former Gosernor John

panied by a sensational attack of
the retiring state treasurer upon

reply last night by the governor,
who denies the charges made. Warn

toned to Glazier the deposit of stase
funds in the Detroit bank, of which
the governor is vice president. The

Cuba City. The cause Of the embar-
rassment to this institution was due
to loose business methods and care
lessness in making loans. The stock
holders, however. with the assistance
OF this department are in a fair way
TO get the bank in condition to re-
sumo business without loss to depos-
itor1. It is also a great satisfaction
20 report that II Is now more than
three years since we had a failure of
a state bank in Wiscor sin, where de-
positors suffered any los.
From year to year, it becomes
more apparent that banks ought to be
examined oftener than once each year
as now is the practice, but without
additional examiners 1t IS a physical
impossibility to make more than one
examination each year, and give pro
per attention to the special work
which is also increasing every year,
as the institutions to be examined
multiply in number and the volume
of business increases. 1t may be In
teresting in this connection to draw
a few comparisons showing how the
work of the ban king department has
Increased since its organization in
1895.

"As shown by the fgul es given
above. the institutions to be examined
each year have considerably more
than doubled in number aud the vol
ume of business done by them much
more than trebled during the last

show that the examining force as well

that the depositing public may have

Recently three attempts have
been made to wreck a train on
the N. & w. Railway near Rox-
boro, and each time the attempt
has been unsuccessful. How
ever the fact that the attempts
have not been successful are not
due to anything but the watch
fulness of the engineer.
The first two attempts were
made by placing cross-ties on
the track, while the third was
made by placing a large rock on
the track. There is no clue to
who is responsible for these at
tempts but from the fact that
all the attempts have been for
one special train and number, il
is evidently a'case of spite work.
