— ‘Washington Letter. By Our Regular Correspondent. Leading Democrats, assisted by Representative Babcock, of Wis consin, Chairman of the Republi can Congressional Campaign Com mittee, who has recently become almost as good a . Democrat as those who call themselves by that name), are discussing the advisa bility of urging in* the next Con- o-ress a law which will restrain the reckless speculation in the water of huge businees consolidations. At present these trusts, or what ever else they are called, organize and issue stocks to the value of two or three times their combined capital. This is sold by the or ganizers on the market at prices far beyond its value. Then in a year or so,’ comes a slump, the consolidation fails to pay and ul timately goes into bankruptcy, and then the owners of the stock lose, while the fraudulent organ izers get away with fortunes. This is proposed to be prevented by making an owner of stock liable for the debts of the corporation for two years after he has sold his interest. Some such, rule seems to furnish the only possible reme dy for the pernicious work of un scrupulous promoters. Corpora tions are being organized on every hand, and nobody knows who or what is benind them. When the crash comes, the men who put up the job are out of the company en tirely, and only the new and inno cent holders of the watered secu rities can be reached.

The story goes that the federation of labor has been gradually organizing the op eratives in that section for several years, and that the labor unions are now very strong among the spinners in a‘ll parts of the South; that the plans adopted by the fed eration there are the same as those pursued by them in the anthra cite coal regions to organize thor oughly and chen demand recogni tion from the mill owners for the unions. Mr. Gompers prefers not to give any information concern ing the question of the organiza tion in the South. He denies, however, in a most positive man ner the report that demands have been made upon the manufactures, but declares that if they should be made they will be readily gran ted. Sir William Yah Horn of Can ada, has* been here talking with Secretary Root on the subject' of his railroads in Cuba. He has no charter or franchise of any sort, but has bought up nearly all of the existing railways in the island, and is extending them, taking the chances of trouble in the future. Some of these railways have fran chises which permit them to ex tend their tracks, and others have none, but it makes no difference to Sir William. He is buying his right of way for cash just as he would buy any other property, and laying steel rails upon it just as lie would build a house or a sugar ey orders which are never present ed for payment?” wasjasked of a postal official. “They disappear in various ways,” was the reply. “Some are burned or torn up in stead of the receipt, and this is particularly true of international money orders, where the receipts are bf the same size of the orjler, only white in color. Some are sent in letters which are not ad dressed at all, or are incorrectly addressed, and these find their way to the dead letter office. U1 tiniately most of these letters find their way back to the remitters, or duplicates are applied for. “The British government utilizes as a source of postal revenue all of the money in its hands which is not paid out to meet money or ders upon presentation, and de rives about $50,000 annually there from! Our couutry does not at tempt to derive any profit from this source, and the money is turned into the treasury, where it is held in trust, as it were, to meet these obligations. The gov ernment has no desire to claim or confiscate th.s money and it will pay its obligations in the form of a money order at any time upon presentation, upon satisfying it self, in the instance of a long lapse of years,, that there has been no previous payment by duplicate or otherwise. In Great Britain, I believe, this money becomes for feited to the government after a certain number of years, four,. I think. The British government evidently proceeds upon the theo ry that if a holder of a money or der, or the sender, does not seek to cash the order within a reason able time, the government can put it to good advantage by ap plying th& amount to its own ns Such a practice undoubtly facili tates the business of the govern ment’s end of the contract, and is strictly legal if authorized by law. There is to-day an accumulation of over $2,500,000 in the treasury of these unclaimed money orders which has been gradually piling up year after year during the thir ty-five years the government has been conducting a money order business. The government'has is sued $4,000,000,000 in money or ders, and has paid evey cent of this great sum except the $2,500, 000 I have mentioned.” into the room.
