Washington, Jan. 22.s-Rapid progress
was made in the House Of Representa-
tives in the consideration of the bill
to codify and revise the penal laws Of
the United States.
The only amendment of any impor-
lance which got through was one by
Mr.. Ollie James. of Kentucky making
it a criminal offense under penalty to
faIsify government crop statistics, the
object Of the amendment being to pro-
tect the cotton and tobacco growers
from speculation. Over fifty pages Of
the bill were disposed of.
Except for a political speech by Mr..
Kimball, of Kentucky. the proceedings
were monotonous and at no time were
a hundred members in their seats.
The house at 500 p. m. adjourned

Gives Favorable Report.
Huntsville, Jan. 22.--(Special 1.-The
committee of business men that has
been appointed by the Business Mems
Club for the purpose of looking after
the subscriptions to the stock of the
Nashville and Huntsville Railway in
Madison county, held a meeting last
evening and went over the old list of
subscriptions, finding that the amount
of $4,000. signed up two years ago, rs
still in effect. When this amount was
secured. the committee was working
for $4,000. Allowing for a shrinkage
of $4,000 because Of the necessity of
making new contracts with the sub
scribers the committee will have to
secure only about $4,000 of additional
subscriptions. The proposition looks
good to the committee and it is believ-
ed that the matter can be closed up
within the next few days. public
meeting will be held during the latter
part of this week and steps will be
taken TO get things in shape for the
early beginning OF the work Of con-
struoA4aa On the new road.
