Washington, April 2.-That the
Payne bill was filed with riotous i'm
PROJECTIONS, was false pretense, was
designed TO cover up the eXtravagan-
ces of the republican administration,
that it did not redeem the party
p edges. and that it sounded the death
knell of the dominant party, were
some of the criticisms passed upon
the measure by the democrats in the
house. An interesting feature of the
debate was speech of Pablo Ocampo

who attacked the provision for free
trade with the Philippine islands.

by a stiff wind, fire which orlglnal-
ed in a barn at Jennings avenue and
Peter Smith street, in the southern
portion of this city Saturday after
noon, swept an area of 10 blocks In
length and seven wide, destroyed
property roughly estimated in excess
of $2,500,0OO and caused the death OF
six persons.
The fire was beyond control within
Is minutes after its outbreak and was
not checked until dynamite was re-
sorted to four hours later. The local
fire department being unable to cope
with the situation, assistance was
rushed from Dallas and WeatherIord
on special trains, but even with these
reinforcements the spread of the
flames was not checked until they had
eaten their way to the Texas and Pa
cific railroad reservation on the east.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

Washington, April 1.-What turned
out to be a general debate on the
tariff was the feature of the senate
proceeding on Senator Bacon's resolu-
ton favoring the consideration of tar
if legislation by the full committee on
finance and not by the republican
members of that committee only.
Senator Aldrich insisted that the pro-
cedure adopted in this case was SINH
lar to that which had been the prac.
tice of the senate for 80 years in
dealings with the tariff measures, and
he added in handling the Wilson tar
if bill for which he said substitute
was framed by a subcommittee COM
posed of democrats.
The democrats made a strenuous
contention for representation at the
hearings by the committee and ar
gued that the republican members,
sitting as such, had no right to auth
orize an expenditure of public funds
in furtherance of eX-parte considera-
ton of the bill in the committee
The resolution was finally referred to
the committee on finance

COPPER STOCK SHOWS SURPLUS

BOSTON. June l5.-In some guar. ters there is shade oi disappoint- ment to be noticed in that the surplus stock of copper in this country, ac- cording to the latest statement of the Copper Producers association, was not reduced by 2o,000,000 pounds. as had been expected.
 A reduction of 13,349. 900 pounds. shown by this statement is, never theless, an encouraging symptom, fol. lowing as it does long line of in creases. It was only three months ago that tho producers reported an accumulation during the preceding 90 days of 29,000.600 pounds, so that the recent statement was relatively 4: 900 900 pounds better than that of March 1.
 Those who had predicted decrease in stocks during the past month of %, ,000, 900 pounds, fell short in their estimates of the production of copper for that period. The May output oi l1S,456,0 900 pounds stands as a record breaker. It indicates an output at the rate of 1,i20, ,0O0. 900 pounds per an- mum, figures which well nigh baffle comprehension.
 It is this huge out-pouring of the re fineries day after day which has got to be absorbed; not necessarily shipped" or delivered" as that pro- cess does not help matters in the long run; the actual consumption is what counts. The manufacturers in this country and abroad must employ their

NACOzlRI MINE CUTS RICH VEIN AT DEPTH Company Holding 320 Acres Ships Seven Cars to
 Douglas

LOS ANGELES. June 15.-The Sii. yer Seal Exploration company, organ ized in Los Angeles less than one year ago, is operating its mining property at Nacozari, Sonora. Mexico. The mineral holdings of this company amount to 320 acres. It has done about 500 feet of development work mostly tunneling, and has encounter CT high grade shipping ore in the de yelopment work
 It has recently shipped seven cars. the proceeds from which amount to S14,141, the ore having been shipped to the Copper Queen shelter at Doug. las, Arizona.
 The ore is mixed sulphides carrying silver and copper as the principal metals, besides some values in gold the latter being more prominent near. CT the surface, but as depth is at. tained the gold is running proportion, ately less and an increase in the sil, yer and copper values.
 It is not the intention to install a reduction plant as the ore is of such value and character that it is eagerly sought after by the customs smelters
 The company's offices, located in the Wright & Calender building, re ceived telegraphic advices Saturday from the mine superintendent advis. ing that the tunnel the miners had been driving to cut the vein at great CT depth had broken into the ore body disclosing vein of rich ore, which will add materially to the production
 The company is at present working thirty men, but will immediately in crease the force now that additional sioping ground is opened up and will continue shipping ore to Douglas Arizona

works on forced draughts-even greater than was the case in the boom of 1906-if this enormous quan- tity of the metal is to make any i'm pression on the steady stream which will continue to pour in.
 The large increase in the foreign visible supply is causing considerable comment and concern among metal producers. The foreign visible stocks in warehouses on May 31 last were 56, ,S60 tons, or l27, ,366. 400 pounds, fig ures which have not been approached in magnitude since the days of the Secretan syndicate. Besides this amount of visible" copper, there is estimated to be an equal amount in what are known abroad as second hands" or dealers. In other words there is estimated to be an actual sup ply on the other side of the water. outside of the supplies carried by the manufacturers themselves, amounting in the aggregate to 250. 900 900 pounds. This is the estimate of an official of the Rio Tinto company of Spain.
 Adding the foreign supply to the 169. .84S,o00 pounds held in this coun- try and we have total world accumu- lation of 26,000, 900 pounds, or an amount equal to about 30 per cent of the present American output Large as sems this total, it represents but 14 weeks production. and there are few lines of business which can point to working surplus of less than this amount of raw material.
