So well advanced are the manufac turing propositions that parties who have become interested will be In Al bany in the course or the next few days seriously bent on carrying them through to success. The three manufacturing enter prises which now appear so promising are a furniture factory, a shoe factory and a cement factory. Preliminary in vestigations have already been made in the Interest of the parties con cerned, and furniture men, cement men and shoe men from distant states will he in Albany within the next few days for the purpose of getting in closer touch with conditions thus far found eminently satisfactory. The raw materials are here, and it but re mains to be proved that they are available. There are various other proposi tions on the flies of the Albany Busi ness, League which appear full of promise, and will probably come to the front in the course of a few months, but those enumerated are very much alive at the present time, and the prospects' of their bearing fruit are exceedingly good.

Washlnton, May 22.—Reference was * ■ made In the house today to the long and at times wearing debate In the senate on the railroad rate bill, Mr. Jenkins (Republican) of Wisconsin, chairman of the judiciary committee, addressed that body on pending rail road rate legislation. He was listened to with great Interest by both sides, applause following a number of his terse periods. < After considering the legal phases of the question he proceeded to Bay that Instead of making the bill consti tutional by Including court review, It would, In his opinion, make It abso lutely valueless to confer upon the court the power to pass upon the rea sonableness of the rate. He contended that congress had the right to fix the rate and he thought the better argument would be that he ju dicial power can not Interfere unless congress so wills It, "Reasonableness," said Mr, Jenkins, "Is an elastlo, relative term. 'The carrier Initiates the rate. The dissat isfied shipper appealB to the commis sion, tho commission fixes the rate, the disBatlsiled carrier appeals to the court, Exclude the question of cost and delay, both important to the ship per, and the absolute worthlessness of the legislation will appear, when the people discover that interstate rates cannot be fixed upon a reasonable haBiB subject to court review, "The people are not going to he quieted or abate their interest in this matter. They are thoroughly aroused and in earnest. The servant ot the people who falls or refuses to do his duty and come to the relief of the peo ple will he lost in the current of dis approval and will never he found or again return. I deny that demagogues have brought about this condition of affairs. The carrier alone is respori- , sible, absolute defiance of law, selfish ness and utter disregard of the rights . of the people have marked the course.” (Applause.)
