. An agreement was passed Between tha
president and the leaders of the house and
senate la favor of a declaration for a re-
vision Of tha tariff at a special session to
be held after March 4 1M. It was de-
cided that tha best manner In which to
. prepare great legislation la to have In-
vtsUicaUons conducted by the ways and
means committee of the house and the
finance committee of the senate. These
investigations wUl not be in the form of

- Tha amendment suggested to the Sher-
man anti-trust bill were discussed briefly.
Tha president said that a bill would be
presented providing for the legalizing of
traffic agreements between railroads. He
called attention to the fact that labor or-
ganisations had been expected to agree
to such legislation in return for a provis-
ion exempting them from the operations
of tha law.
. AGAINST LABOR'S DEMAND8.
Tha legislators present were not ready
to assent to the demands made by labor
ta their bill of grievance recently sub-
mitted to congress and on that account
' urged that it would be Inadvisable to at-
tempt any revision of the Sherman law
at thia time. It is said that the presi-
dent while not actually rejecting it .was
not disposed to agree with the advice
given him. Ha declared that it was but
justice to' the railroads to permit agree-
ment! under proper restrictions but the
interstate commerce commission and said
that no Interest would be Injured by
suds) legislation. He was not impressed
by tha statement made to hlm'that labor
-would regard this as extending benefits
to railroads and withholding them from
union. Tha president was told flatly
t i&t such course at this time would be
tad poll tics for the majority party to play.

A5TS IN ELTLE SHOOTS.
Only Enlisted Men in the Regular

iHuton Pttt 5nal.)
WASHINGTON. March 21. - Riflemen
throughout the oountry will be greatly In-
terested In an amendment which was
adopted while the army appropriation bill
was under considersllon In the house and
Jftnich affects the National rifle and re-
volver matches. The amendment reads:
"Provided that the trophies and medals
herein authorised ahall .be contested for.
only by the enlisted men of the army t
navy the marina corps and the National
Guard or organised mHltla ofrtte several
States. Territories and the' district of Co-
lumbia." Under this mendment which
was added to that portion of the bill pro-
viding an appropriation (or the National
matches tie cadets at West Point and
Annapolis and Jl commissioned of fleers
of the army navy marine corps and Na-
tional Guard would be excluded from par-
ticipation in the National revolver as well
i'VJfiiAOD1 rttie matches both team
an individual.
This would exclude about one-half of
the best shot in the services mentioned
for the of User know how to shoot and
take as much it not mora interest' In
shooting than th private and non-commissioned
officers generally speaking.
The war department looks with great
favor on tha interest taken in shooting by
the officers as it realizes that no of floor
an property Instruct his men In this most
essential feature of a soldier's work 'un-
less hs himself la familiar with the cut
and is a good shot.
The enthusiasm generated among the
o Ulcers at these National raatoiMals no
less valuable than the experience galeed
by them and by the enlisted man. and
never until now has any propositlu.i been
advanced te shut the officers out of rhe
matches. The argument that it is I ha
Incn and not the officers wno lj the
shrotlng certainly can not apply to .he
pistol matches for In most esses It is tha
officers who are armed with wistoli acd
not the men yet under this amendment
officers would be barred from the pistol
as well as the rifle matches. At Camp
Perry hut year the teams were composed
of about equal proportions of officers
and men there being 21t officers and 303
men.
Speaking of the effect upon the National
matches a member of the National board
for the promotion of rifle practice which
prepares the regulations under which the
matches are shot said: "In my opinion
it would have a very Injurious effect upon
rifle shooting were the officers prevented
from competing at tha National matches.
They shoot alongside of the men else-
where snd work with them in practice
and should be permitted to do so In these
matches. There Is no other way for most
of them to get to the National matches
except as members of the teams the
places on which they win by their su-
perior skill. The good which comes of
their mingling there with the best shots
In the world Is Incalculable and Is felt
throughout all branches of the servloe.
The wsr department and the National
board have always regarded their pres-
ence there as highly beneficial to the
' cause bf markmanshlo. and it will be
deeply regretted if they are no longer
allowed to participate in these contests."

WASHINGTON March 2L Two mil-
lion acre of land in California and Ore-
gon owned by the Central Pacific and
controlled by E. H. Harrlman will be
subjected to suits for recovery of title by
the United States if action taken today
by the committee on public land Is sus-
tained by ths house. Tha committee
agrees to report favorably without
amendment resolutions which already
had passed the senate empowering and
directing the attorney general of th gov-
ernment "to bring suits for -the recovery
by the United State of title to pubilo
lands granted to certain Western rail-
road companies." In case where the
conditions stipulated In the grants hava
not been compiled with "such conditions
for example as governed the grant of
lands to ths Oregon and California com-
panies in the s.
The lands were to be thrown open by
ths companies to sell to bona fide settlers
of the United States at not mors than
12.60 an acre and In parts not exceeding
190 acres each.
It Is said that Immense areas of these
lands wsr sold by th Oregon and Cali-
fornia Railroad company in violation of
the conditions named. The refusal ef
Mr. Harrlman announced by him at the
Irrigation convention at Sacramento last
rear to sell any portion of the remaining
000.000 sores led to ths introduction by
Senator Tillman of the resolution which

vorably today.

the board of public works was granted

Which are modern In every respect are
designed In the mission style of architect-
ure. The plans for the fir stations
though adopted were referred to the
board of public works the chief of the
fire department and the architect for
some further modifications so as to be
in conformity with the fire ordinance.
R. 8. Greer and B. W. Turn bow ap-
peared respectively before the council and
wanted a stipulation In the specification
that the contractor should employ Beau-
mont labor at the regular standard of
?aces and purchase Beaumont material
her was no action by council but It
was tacitly agreed that the matter could
be further considered by the board of
public works.
A complaint was mede to ths council
that because of a defective bond or con-
nection in (he rails of the Beaumont
Traction company on College street the
water pipes laid along College street were
being corroded by a process of electro-
lysis. A piece of water pipe was exhibited
which had been corroded. It was claimed
in less than a year because of the action
of electricity. The matter after dis-
cussion was referred to the street and
bridge committee and the city engineer
to take up with the street car. company
and report back at the next meeting.
During the forenoon session a petition
was presented signed by fifty-nine voters
ssaing tnst tne mayor authorize th

ular city election In AvrH-'ta an inde-
pendent candidate mayor and the

able discussion and finally a motion by

granted and that the city secretary be
Instructed to place the names on the of-
ficial ballot prevailed but later Alderman
Bordages raised the question that under
the Terrell election law before the may-
or and eouncll would have authority to
place the name of an Independent ticket
or candidates on the efflclal ballot that
a petition must be presumed signed by
as many as 6 par centi of the number
of votes cast for the mayor at the next
preceding general elettion.
Th petition presented was signed by
fifty -nine persons but Ion being referred
to the city tax collector It was found
that tlteen of the signature were by
those who hsd not paid their poll tax.
and of the forty-four valid signatures to
the petition twenty-nine wWr whit and
fifteen colored and Mr. Bordages con-
tended that on the basis of forty-four
signs tjrxs tho petition did not contain (
per cent as foqulred by th Terrell elec-
tion law. Vat this reason ths council re-
scinded its former action and passed a
motion to refer the petition back to H.
ti Wilson aad others because of th in-
sufficient number of sfenstures. with th
explanation that If the defects in the pe-
tition are cured a petition can again b
considered by the mayor.

PAPER PULP FBOM BICE STRAW.
Maine Manufacturer Will Make
Tests at Bos Mills.
(HturttH Port 5risL)
BEAUMONT. Texas March Tl. W. D.
Wing a prominent capitalist of Bangor
Maine who has been in thia city and
vicinity for some time past baa returned
to his home. Mr. Wing has visited her
frequently and Is Interested financially
In this section. During s former visit
here Mr. Wing became Interested in the
proposition of making paper pulp from
rice straw and to ascertain the elemental
qualities of the straw In this respect he
sent some of the straw to a chemist for
a pulp mill in Boston and had some sam-
ple paper made from the straw. During
hi recent visit Mr. Wing exhibited those
samples. Notwithstanding thay were
made entirely by hand in a laboratory
the samples proved to be excellent quality
of paper capable of retaining Ink and
suitable for many purposes for which
Mr. Wing owns a largs amount of stock
In a pulp mill In Main and la therefore
interested In this matter from another
standpoint than to merely make use of
the rice straw. His experiment thus
far have proved that rice straw will make
an excellent pulp for making paper and
it Is his Idea that a pulp mill should be
built in this territory snd perhaps sev-
eral mill In different sections of tba
rice belt for the purpose of utilising this
straw. Hs does not go Into the question
of building paper mills here for the
reason that paper mills are very expen-.
alv and. there may be many questions
involved in th operation of a paper mill
which are not Included In a pulp mill.
At sny rata Mr. Wing for the present Is
interested In the pulp proposition and hi
plan roughly outlined Is to establish these
mills make the pulp from rice straw aad
ship it to th paper mills In the New
England States.
f rom estimates so far made Mr. Wing
believes that the farmer can nst $2 per
ton for the straw on ths farm. This doe
not include hauling baling and shipping
but means that tha rice farmer will ra..
eelve 2 for each ton of rice straw pro
duced. An acre of rice will produce two
tons of straw consequently th .farmer
-will receive U per acre from a source
that heretofore hss prod used nothing.
This will almost pay his water rent. .)
Mr. Wing has arranged to ship a largo
quantity of straw to "hli mill in Main'
enough with which to make a run tbreugu
the mill and demonstrate satisfactorily
what sort otpaper can be made from ths
straw. Mr Wing is not speculating Ugh
ly in this matter but t thoroughly la
tereeted and if his expectations as to v
merit In the straw prove out be will loot
no time In building hi pulp mill some-
where In the rice belt and Will Ship th
pulp to th mill In the North. v '.f.
In addition to the value of the trsw)
for paper making Mr. Wing find that
there Is s Isrge quantity of rice lsft ta
tn straw and from this ho believe vary
many articles of trade such as alcohol
and feed stuff can be mad. In fact Mr-
Wing believes that rice straw oan be
utilised also as much SS' cotton seeds
whloh not so many year ago War
thrown away a many farmers now liv-
ing csa remember.- A there are about
0M0 acre of rise planted in Jofftrson
county each season It will so seen that
there Is produced about 120000 tons of rice
straw which at per ton will yield
1240000 which has heretofore and would
ouierwis om wrown away'
