MORE RAILROAD TALK.
otill Rumored That the Frisco Sys

In discussing tne railroad situation

The rumors of railway deals iu
which Macon and Georgia aro directly
interested are slill life, although tile
sin lace indications do not suggest any
immediate change in the present rail
road status.
It is generally believed that the Sea
board will in the near future control
and operate tno Macon, uublin aim

sucii a consummation is likely at any

However, are. looking for a tidewater
terminus on the south Atlantic coast,

and that, it is on tho books to take
over tin Atlantic and Birmingham, o.
which W. G. Raoul is president, ty
.s known that Mr. Raoul is very close

DELUGE OF BILLS fl
IS LOOKED FOB
BEYOND APPROPRIATION BILLS*
NOTHING WILL RECEIVE MORE
ATTENTION THAN TRUSTS<
Question Will Receive Immediate Con
sideration .of Congress—Some
Think Sherman Law Ample for
Protection—Other Matters. j
Washington, December 1. The
nouse convened to enter on tho
session of the Fifty-seveutTi congress,
and a perfect deluge 0 f lulls dealing
with the trust question in all its
phases were thrown into Uu legisla
tive hopper, u is admitted on all
hands that this will be the most im
portant topic of discussion. Indeed,
loaders incline to the belief that bo
.vend the appropriation bills and ro,
tmo legislation, it wUt " bo unv only
general subject on which there la a
chance of action at the short session.,
As yct - llle leaders have ioffcidateu
no measure, and there exists a pretty
wide divergence of opinion as to whau
van or should bo done. The presidents
recommendations on the Subject are
awaited with interest, fine most con
servalive opinion among tae republi
can loaders seems to favor an appro-
filiation for tho enforcement of the
Sherman anti-trust law. Such an ap
proprriation, it is pointed out, couMba,
placed on one of lhe'regOTar' appfgP
pnafion bids and put through both
houses without difficulty, whereas any
amendment to the law Itself, no mat
ter, iiow conservative, likely would
meet opposition. 0
Wants $500,000 to Fight Trusts.
Mr. Hepburn, of lo_wa, ekcairman o
tlie interstate and foreign commerce
committee, is one of taose who beueve
that, the Sherman law, if enforced, is •
sufficient to meet the situation, ami
tomorrow lie will itfi'roduce a bill ap
propriating $500,000 to bo used by the
department oi, justice in prosecutions
under tho present law.
li is not improbable that when the
leaders ascertain exactly what can be
deno tTlal a caucus of tn<s republicans
will be called to agree on a measure.
Meantimo tbo trust bills introduced
will bo referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
There is soma question of jurisdic
um. il a, bill invoked the interstate,
commerce clause of the constitution,
it. properly should go to the commerce
committee, and, if the taxing power qf
the government, to tho Ways no &
Means committee. But to secure uni
formity, all bills dealing with the sub
ject have gone heretofore to thL ju
diciary committee, and this practice
will be followed unless a light for jti
rmlsdiction is made.
Will Rush Appropriation On,
the leaders have already resolvedifpi
expedite tho appropriation bills aff :
much as possible in order to allow ti9|
largest margin of time for other mas
ters. Mr. Cannon, chairman'gf the ap- *
. .opriations committee, believes that
tne legislative, executive and judicial'
and the pension appropriation bills
can be disposed of before tlie holidays.
One of the first things the appropria
tions committee will he called on to
do, however, is to prepare a bill to
provide for the Coal Strike Commis
sion. Judge Gray, chairman of the
commission, has written Mr. Canon,
asking for an appropriation of $50,000'
to defray the expenses of the commis
sion, to pay its clerical force, and to
provide such compensation for its
members as tho president may fix.
The appropriation committee will meet
tomorrow to rpepare a bill, which, it is
believed, will be passed this week. No
opposition to it from the nnority is an
ticipated.
HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS. •
B. & B. Will Run Them Along Their,
Line.
The Brrunswick & Bir-uingham aril
road will shortly annoutfW Jorne very
low rates over their litto to this city,
duing the holidays. <iK-T
It. is the purposo of the B. &. B. to
bring many people to Brunswick dur-.
ing December, and from every station
on their line a very low rate for the
round trip will be offered. This is, in
deed, a good movement on the part
of the new road, and shows that, they
ar<- working for Brunswick and our
