The branch library bill was in charge
of Representative Olcott of New York,
who called it up as soon as the House
resolved itself into committee of the
whole for the consideration OF District
business. After he had explained its pro-
visions. a brief speech in opposition was
made by Representative Madden OF llli-
nois, who insisted that the present Public
Library at 9th street and New York ave-
nue. afforded sufficient facilities for all OF
the people of the District. This was de-
MED by Mr.. Olcott, Representative Gold
fogle of New York, Representative Sulzer
Of New York and others in favor of the
bill.
After some further discussion of the
measure and the adoption of the two
amendments in question it was laid aside
with favorable report, which Is equiva-

which may raise the wage of labor
throughout the country SO much the bet
ter
Mr.. Nye contended that it was almost
impossible for men with families TO hve
on the wage of less than So day.
The bill was amended in NUMBER OF
particulars, including committee amend
ment providing. nothing in this act shail
prevent the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict from continuing in their employ
ment at the same rate of pay which they
are now receiving any laborers who have
worked faithfully for the District for
long period of years or employing at the
rate OF wage now pare SuSil IdpOlCLS dly
who have been rendered less useful by
reason OF age or infirmity..
The House also eliminated section TWO
Of the measure providing penalty for

The committee of the whole then rose
and in the house the branch library bill,
which had been laid aside with favor
able recommendation, was passed.
The House then took tip the Commits
sioners' bill for uniform warehouse re-
ceipts in the District of Columbia.

M'K|NLEY GROUP IS REPORTED
 FINANCED

Photographic adviees reached Pres colt yesterday from Danville, H., from C. E. Mckinley, president of the Mckinley Mining and Development company, that the company has been financed to resume operations, and that it has been decided to start work immediately on the plans sub mitted and sanctioned some time ago. In accordance with this action, Frank Burns left for the camp to begin work. MT. Burns has been ap- pointed superintendent, and expects to have operations well under. way in a few weeks. MT. Mckinley will return soon to supervise the general affairs of his company.
 The Mckinley group is located near Iron Springs, in the Copper Basin district For the past few years the vein system has been prospected at many places, and in addition many shafts have been sunk, establishing the merits of the enterprise and warranting the outlay of capital.
 Some very rich ore has been taken out of various prospect shafts, while many strong veins have been opened that carry good values, the holdings, in short, enjoying an attractive rat ing among mining men.

CHEAP BANANAS
 FOR PRESCOTT
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 A ear load of bananas arrived at the depot, yesterday, a rather un- usual occurrence for Prescott.
 The arrival of this ear will mean a much lower retail price on this popular fruit, as the shippers are giving the trade the benefit of the saving in freight rates.
 The Walter Hill Co.,, the receivers of this car, brought the first car load of bananas ever shipped to Ari- zOnt, the firm handling from four to six ears month at their Phoenix house.
 The fruit in this Prescott car comes from Costa Rica and is pro nounced of exceptionally fine qual- ity and large in size-many of the punches weighing over one hundred pounds.
 When asked if he expected to con tinue the importation of bananas in ear lots. NIT. Hill replied: "There are lot of bananas in ear load, but on a basis of Yavapai's present population, as indicated in the Jour nal-Miner this morning, if every man, woman and child will eat only two bananas a week, an expenditure of about five cents for the two, we will be able to continue giving the people cheap bananas.
 Mr Hill said further that bananas are the most healtnful of fruits. Tn many districts in the tropics they furnish the sole article of food fo1 the natives
