Number Of Saloons
Slowly Decreasing

WASHINGTON, D. c., March L
There was in 1907 a decrease of six
per cent i'm the number OF saloons
throughout the country, according to
the United States census bureaus
forthcoming report on the statistics Of
the 15S largest cities which had a
population Of over 10000 each that
year.
The report, prepared by chief of di-
vision f.. H. Mailing contains COM
petite statistics of the number Of H.
qucr licenses in force at the close of
the license year in each of the cities
and the number of inhabitants to each
dealer selling liquor - the drink
More than one fourth of such deal
ers in the 1853 largest cities were re-
ported from New York and Chicago;
the cities of over 100000 population
with the smallest number of saloons
were washington Cpd and Pittsburg
($1S). In cities of this class, the largest
number of saloons in proportion to the
population were in Milwaukee and
New Orleans where. in the former,

fabricated. Orders were reca,eG for
the latter during the last few days
Of February in sufficient amounts to
bring up the tonnage for the month
to 100000 tons, and the prospect is that
March VII be equally heavy.
In the last week railroads have put
out more inquiries for bridges, plac-
ing orders for about 5000 tons, and re-
ceiving bids for 1900 tons additional
Rail contracts have aggregated 49,
O00 including 10000 tons for Alaska.
Additional orders have been placed for
1900 cars and 112 locomotives and spe-
cific inquiries have been made for TO-
900 cars and for 200 locomotives Rail-
roads and car shops have placed or
ders for 5000 tons of plain structur-
al shapes

postoffices and post roads can be
trusted to keep the postal bank bill
bottled up until the time is propitious
for it's passage in the house.
The senate will have an opportunity
within few days to compare the
majority and minority views of the
committee on interstate commerce on
the administration railroad bill The
majority report, which will support
the bill in the form in which it was
finally drafted by Attorney General
Wickersham, is ready for presenta-
ton to the senate Under an agree
ment already reached, it will be print
ed in the record with the report of
Senators Clapp and Cummins, which
was presented several days ago.
While the debate on the railroad
bill is likely to last several weeks,
republican senate leaders have prom
ised President Taft that it will be
passed without material change. I'm
questionably this attitude will provoke
acrid discussion accompanied by con-
demnation of what is termed White
House domination.
All reports from the senate COM
mittee on territories indicate that the
statehood bill is in trouble and that
Senator Beveridge will have difficulty
in getting it passed. The exact cause
for the delay is not apparent, beyond
the dissatisfaction expressed with the
qualifications for voting in the pro-
posed new states. Senator Beveridge
continues to insist that it will pass
He expects soon to be absent from
hearings will go over until his re-
turn.
Another effort is being made in the
house to have a small omnibus pub
lie bill in order to give some assist
ance to certain districts whose con-
gressmen are in distress. The SEN
ate is opposed to the bill, however,
and points to the large rivers and
harbors bill in support of it's objec-
ton to another pork barrel measure
at this session. The latter bill prob
ably will not be brought out Of the
committee on commerce before March
Is or 20.
Little discussion is heard concern
ing the conservation bills and the
court injunction bill, which are on the
presidents program. The reason is
said to be that leaders believe if ac-
ton on these measures is delayed they
can be brought out of committee and
passed with comparatively little de-
bate in the last few days of the ses-

Cities of over 100000 population
with notably small payments for their
health department were Detroit 1882,

The postoffice appropriation bill is
still before the house. All last week
was occupied by members in making
political speeches. Consideration Of
the measure will require several DAYS
more. The naval bill is about ready
to be reported but the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial bill will be the
next in order in the house.
Many important features of the adj
ministration railroad bill remain to
be considered by the house commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and it canOt be forecasted when
the bill will be reported.

LEGISLATION in the
Congress Looms Large

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Tne
postal savings bank bill will be re-
ceived by the house tomorrow and
promptly sent to several weeks OBJ
livion in committee. The administra-
ton bill will have the center Of the
senate stage and the house will con-
tinue it's consideration Of appropria-
ton bills. Dreary sessions probably
will be the order of business for the
next few days, or until congress has
warmed to another of the administra-
ton policies.
Before the railroad bill is taken up
in earnest, it is likely that the agri-
cultural appropriation bill will be put
through the senate. This will not
take long. however.
Members of the house are begin
ming to analyze the amendments made
to the postal savings bank bill last
Saturday. The one that is causing
the most comment is that which viii,
prevent postal funds from being in
vested in two per cent government
bonds, while making all higher in
ter"st bearing securities available for
such Investment n time of war or
other exigency.

offered by Senator Borah. 1t was ac-
copied by Senator Carter, who had
charge of the bill and the votes
against it were few. In the light of
President Taft's New York speech
calling attention to the obligation OF
the government to see that the hold
ers of two per cent consols should
not suffer loss, and suggesting that
the government give the holders re-
lief by using postal funds to buy these
low class bonds, some members of
congress see in the senate action a
direct slap at the president. In only
one other way is the adoption of the
amendment explained, and that is by
the fact that those VINO were in
charge of the bill believed it could
be passed only by making conces-
sions to insurgent senators. 1t was
charged on the democratic side, that
the adoption of the Borah amendment
was not in good faith and that it
would be dropped in the house and
finally eliminated in conference.

unlike the grind-organ repetition and
loudness of their habitual song. The
