Currency Bill May Be Reported Tomorrow In Congress
The currency bill is expected to be reported from the Senate Finance Committee tomorrow morning but likely not called up for discussion for about ten days or two weeks to allow members time to study the provisions and prepare for debate. The penal code bill in the House will be superseded by the urgent deficiency appropriation bill carrying about 29 million dollars, including 12 million for the Isthmian Canal project, with naval and army requests and coal purchases likely to provoke debate.

Government powder plants to run at full capacity
A Washington dispatch reports the War Department orders the Dover Delaware powder plant to operate at 1000 pounds per day with an annual supply planned at 3000 pounds. The Ordnance Bureau advises purchasing 3,200,000 pounds of smokeless powder, totaling about 3,500,000 pounds yearly. The navy reportedly has ample powder. Officials say the orders reflect growing gun use, not alarm, and tie to large Manila Philippines ammunition shipments and future shipments to Manila Subic Bay and Hawaii.

The Land Laws and a Call for Reform
The Mining Journal argues that current land, mineral, coal, and timber laws are outdated and inadequate for modern industrial needs. It notes widespread violations, state and federal subsidization of railroads, and vast public losses from resource giveaways. A measured reform is urged, balancing corrections with maintaining beneficial system features. The President’s coal land withdrawal is praised if followed by solid legislation, while prosecutions should distinguish fraud from technical shortcomings.
