OnlY One Amendment Passed

The entire afternoon was spent in n
discussion of the measure that is intended
to make prohibition prohibit. Various and
sundry amendments were suggested, and
all but one was voted down. That one
was providing that man sick in bed
might send some other person to the eX-
press office after his whisky
Among the joking amendments offered
was one by Mr.. Simmons providing that
the bill should take effect after the legis-
lature shall have adjourned, and 1t was
adopted with whoop.
Another was by Mr., Anderson providing
that any man who took a drink of whisky
after this bill was law should be put to
death and his body turned over to the
medical students. That was lost At q

There Were Great Benefits

That danger lurked in this aggrandize-
ment was unquestioned. But thorough
study of the great recuperatVe move
ment which began Immediately after Pres
ident Cleveland had compelled reluctant
Congress to repeal the so-called sherman
silver law made it clear that there were
vast benefits to the American people.
These We're even greater than any pecu-
mary benefits that were gained by the
bankers. Public sentiment is now
changed, and in that change many bank
ers have thoroughly sympathized
When ii has been said by local bankers
that the probable effect of Mr.. Morgan $
action which is to be followed by Ike
action taken by other bankers, means that
financing, at least important financing,
and the stock markets will be in the
waiting room for II months, the mean
ing is that at least a year will be required
before there can be satisfactory read
justment to the new conditions. If Mr..
Morgan's example is initiated generally
the undoubted immediate effect will be
some repression of stock exchange ac-
tivities here and in other parts of the
country and postponement of the per-
manent refunding of railway obligations
which must be met this year
Another effect spoken of as possible. If
not probable, is the transference to Eu-
rope of the greater part of the large
financing which must be undertaken in
the three or four years. Mr.. Morgan an

intimated the same thing in one para
graph of his testimony before the Pujo
committee.
1t Was an Evolution
The interlocking drectorates We're an
inevitable consequence of the world-ex-
tending panic of 1893. That convulsion
was not due to politics excepting in the
single instance when the so-called Sher-
man silver law greatly added to the APP
prehensions which were first created by
the failure of the Barring Pros. in Lon
don. On account OF that panic there
were many railroad bankruptcies and
much distress in some Of the large busi-
ness corporations. The bankers of the
United States chiefly under the leader
ship of Mr.. Morgan, undertook to hft
the railroad and the other corporations
from the quagmire. They succeeded III
doing this so that at the beginning of
President Mclinley's first administration,
with the assurance that the gold standard
would be adopted, there being a new era
OF great prosperity The vast amount or
funus collected by the bankers, much OF
them secured in Europe, seemed to invite,
in fact to compel, scrutiny by the bank
ers of the management OF the corporations
to whom relief had been given.
This demand came from many OF those
who had lent their money TO the Amer
lean bankers In order the better to scru-
tinize the manner in which the corpora
tions used these funds, bankers were
chosen members of the directorates. But
at that time no one dreamed of the mag
nitude to which this system would grow,
The impulse was undoubtedly increased

A Drastic Measure

The measure is one of the most drastic
ever offered to a legislature outside of
TEXAS. from which state Mr.. May ex-
planned he got the chief provisions. In
short. the railroads, the express conf
panies and other carriers are prohibited

the citizen of Mississippi is prohibited
from receiving 1t If 1t does come, except
on prescription of a reputable physician.
Mississippians may order not more than
one gallon, and to get that must register
himself with the circuit clerk and pay n
fee of % cents.
Mr.. May discussed the constitutional
features of the BILL declaring 1t could not
have been legal until after the passage
by Congress of the Webb law which gives
TO the state authority over the Interstate
commerce commission as to shipments of
whisky. Under the Webb law he con-
tended his bill is good and will accom-
plish the purpose.
Asked If 1t prevented a man from get

objects; that In his county there are go

Garrison. No new Notifications were

Calling attention to the fact that
many Of the foreign warships Of latest
design are to carry guns larger that

asked that l6-inch guns be provided
for Cape Henry.
Otherwise, he said, the fortifica-
tions may be subjected not only to a
greater volume of fire than can be
delivered by them, but also have the
disadvantage of replying, to that fire
with guns of inferior power, both by
reason of the diameter of the bore

through his outspoken criticism of defects in the emplacement of armor on the older battleships, which led to radical changes in the designs.
 Some of the officers had been re- garded in somewhat unsatisfactory health, though not in a condition to warrant medical condemnation.
 Secretary Daniels explained there was nothing on the record of any of these officers to show they were not fitted for any naval service in the matter of habit, temperament and professional ability He pointed out that the plucking law some time ago had resulted in the elimination from the navy of officers who were paal- pably disqualified, but now the naval lists were in such shape that the board was confronted with the task of determining not who was unfit to be retained in the service, but rather who could best be spared out of the list of thoroughly competent officers.
 The secretary added he hoped a Aill could be prepared before the meeting of the next congress for the readjustment of the personnel of the navy which would eliminate objec- tionable features of the present law.
