AGRIOTJLTURAL COLLEGES.
The Bill Creating Them Passed by the
House.
"Washington-, August 10 Mr. Thomas,
of "Wisconsin, moved to lay upon the table
the motion made some davs ago b Mi
Ha es, of Iowa, to reconsider tne motion
bv which the house passed the Nat McKa
bill It was agreed to yeas 92, nas 79
This finally passes the bill
The sneaker stated that the unfinished
business in the morning hour (the first
morning hour the house has had for sev
eral months) was a bill to amend the alien
land law
Mr Cartel, of Montana, explained that
the bill hid in view the repeal of the law,
so fai as the ovv nership included mines or
mining lands
Mi Carter explained the provisions of
the bill, which were to encourage foreign
investment in American mining property.
Considerable debate followed, during
w Inch Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, contended
that the bill would permit the ownership
b foreigners of every mine m the land
The opposition to the bill arose from the
fact th it its prov isions would allow gigan
tic corpoiations, controlled by foreigneis
who have no inteiest in the countiy, to
own the majority of American mines
Pending further deb ite the morning
houi expned and the bill went over.
Mi Cannon, of Illinois, from the com
mittee on rules, reported a resolution set

oi conference reports thereon
Mi Ciain, of Texas, inquired whether

Mr Cannon replied that he thought not,
but that bill could be called up Friday or
Mond.i or during the morning hour on
the other das
Mi McMilhn, of Tennessee siid it mut
be admitted, in view of the late hour of
the session, that the proposed order put
the river and harbor bill inn peulous no
sition He warned the house now in order
th it the friends of the river and harboi
bill might adopt the special order with
their e es open
Mr Funston, of Kansas, said to the
friends of the river and harbor bill that if
tne knocked out the agricultural com
mittee, tli it committee would knock the
nvei and harbor bill so high that it would
never be seen again
Mr Hatch, of Missouri, warned his
friends on the Democtatic side to make no
mistake in voting against this order It
was the best that could be done and uiij
Demociat representing an agriuiltrfi.il
distnct who tliievv an obstacle in its vva
would rue it befoie thefiostsof Xovembei
Mr Cannon said that the order would
not interfere m the slightest degieewith
the river and harboi bill That measure
could be called up during the morning
houi or on Fnda or Monda Theie was
no antagonism between the older and the
river and harbor bill and it w.is a false
issue to bring ud such antagonism

the lesponsioiht of pissing this order

the nvei and harbor bill
The resolution was then adopted and the

They Have 2To Advantage Because of the
Interstate Law.
Montrfal. Aumist 19 Sir Joseph Hick
son. general maunder of the Grand Trunk
K.ulway compan his addressetl a letter
to the press regarding the interstate com
merce law Concerning the complaint of
the American nulwaj- to connress, that it
is unfair to subject r hem to a statute de
signed tor the protection of public inter
ests. when their Canadian nvals are not
required to obey it -ir Joseph sy5
''It 15 true that the Araencmi companies
with whom the Canadian companies com
pete for traflic have complained as stated
but it is a fact which has been repeatedly
pointed out that their complaint is not
well founded, and it is no seoret that their
desire is to prevent the Canadian com
panics carrying United states traffic at all
and not that they should be subject in
then traflic nrransrements to the provrs
ions of the interstate commerce act of the
L'nited States Government. The Can
dian roads, from the date when
the interstate act went into effect,
have recognized that it was incumbent
on them, in deahnc with traihe to
or from the states and Canada, or traffic
pnsmg through Canada from one state to
another of the United States, to ob-erve
the terms and conditions of the mter-uue
commerce act. A moment's reflection will
show that with respect to traflic going
from Canada to the -uts it must be de
livered to some compan w hich is subject
to the terms of the interstate commerce
act. and the com mourners appointed
under the act enn therefore deal with such
company in the United State- if the Cana
dian company should assume to ignore
tlie terms of the act. In like manner
traflic comins from the states rattst
ongmate on some railway which is sub
ject to the conditions of the interstate
commerce act and can be dealt wrth
Then, wrth regard to traffic passing
through Canada from one state to unother,
the act provides that rf there is a departure
from its terms the property can be treated
when it reaches the United States frontier
from Canada as an importation and sub
jected to duties It is obv lOUsly true that
the terms of the interstate commerce act
do not apply to the local business
of Canada, but there is no differ
ence in the position of Canada in the
matter and the'state of New York For
instance, the terms of the interstate com
merce act do not appl to the business of
the New York Central roid done within
the state of New York any more than the
apply to the business of tne Canadian
companies done within the boundaries of
Canada After a somewhat exteiisiv e ex
perience, I am prepared to assert that the
Canadian companies do not denve from
the operation of the interstate commerce
act an advantage whatever over their
United States competitors "
WOSLD'S PAIR SITE.
Prospect of More Wrangling Among the
Directors.
Chicago, 111 , August 19. The result of
tomorrow night's meeting ot the w orld's
fair directors is looked forward to with
more than ordinan interest. The meeting
is expected to be the most mportant et
held, ind will prob ibly be a stormy one
The director is b no means a unit on auy
of the questions to be decided, and some of
the members go so far as to say the believ e
the meeting wnl adjourn before settling
the site question Some of the directors
favor Jackson park, others the lake front,
the North and West Side have their cham
pions, w bile there are a few who apparent
lvdonot know whit they want Long
a"nd emphatic discussions are therefore
looked for, and the gathering mav not
break, up until some time "Wednesday
morning- The documents that are to re
ceive attention are Engineer Ortingstall's
leport on the lake front site,
"Mr Olmstead's views about the
ground about Jackson park, an offer of
land from the "West park commis
sioners, and the reply from the South
park commissioners in reference to the
conditions on which the directory will be
permitted to have the use of part of Wash
ington park, the Midway Plaisance, and
ocher property near the tw o pirks The
latter communication was received from
the park commissioners today. But
like all other documents m the pos
session of the officials its con
tents were not presented to the pub
lic The excuse advanced was that as it
was addressed to the directory it could
not be given to the press until the meeting
tomorrow night. A largo sized protest
from speculators who have purchased op
tions on Jackson park property or land ad
jacent is also looked for at the meeting.
Ever since the contents of Mr. Olmstead's
report were made known the speculators
have had a horde of engineers on the
ground, w ho now say that they intend to
show the directors that the landscape en
gineer does not know what he is talking
about, and tint Jackon park is the best
place on earth to hold the exposition.

or thirty are injured
The train jumped the track 100 feet on
the other side of Presidents' bridge The
nrst passenger coach fell on the engine,
the latter hav ing toppleel ov er. The en
gine separated. The fireman was instnntlj
killed and the engineer fatally injured. As
far as can be learned there w ere eight pas

to the scene" The fire was extinguished
The dead and injured were removed from

vate houses and to the Quincy hospital.

followed by an awful crash The three
forward cars lurched and left the tratk
The fourth kept the rails and wept along
on the broken locomotive which lay in it
way, forcing itself on top of it The
shock w . es terrific and it seemed as if the
car was lifted up twenty feot in
tlie air. When the car descended
on the engine, it swirled suddonlj over,
the occupants being thrown violentlj
nljout. 1 he steam came into the car m
dense clouds from the locomotive beneath,
scalding and almost suffocating the peo
pie penned inside. In the descent of the
car n hole was torn in the bottom of it,
through which many of the forty or lift
people were taken out. Mr Fennell thinks
siv oi seven persons were killeel and twen
tv-five slightly injured. He thinks the
accident was caused by the spreading of
the rails
