guREAu OF MINES BrLL KILLED

event a majority vote in its favor would
permit it to be read and debated upon.
such procedure is very seldom taken
out Of senatorial courtesy.
"SeDators Teller of Colorado and
Hepburn Of Idaho have been decidedly
opposed to the measure. Both sena-
tors are members Of the mines and
mining committee. The Idaho senator
has openly declared war on the bill,
stating that he will never permit the
passage of it during this session OF
congress-
This summary action on the part Of
the senate settles the bill for this con
gress, which will end On March 4th.
1t is to be hoped that the measure will
again be taken up and enacted into
law by the 61st congress, early in the

HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD'

Of being implicated in the Oregon Land

Tiliman made a rather lame reply on
the floor Of the senate.
The Carolina senator has ever been
looked upon by the American people
az a sort of a freak, and has never
been taken seriously. His chief claim
to notoriety has been his uncompromis

he adroitly converted into a profitable
asset through his public lectures.
However, Senator Tillman's per
sonal honesty has never heretofore
been questioned, and the outcome OF
the present charges against his integ
rity will be watched with interest.

"Little Italy" the blow which has
