Tho eutiri production of cotton . bagging, in 1887 was about 45J00p,000 yards. Warren, Grktz & Co., of t. Louis, were agents in that city of the South ern Mills Bagging Company and tho Standard Mills Co , of the same city. It bad no! interest in these firms, beyond acting as agents. The varia tion in the prices of two-pound bag- fing from 1877 to 188p lias been frcan 0 cent's per yard iji J877 to 11 i cents in 1880 and 7$ feents in 1887. The price of jute butts has been lower in price this August than any August for he last ten year's. The pric&orcottbn bagging during Au gust ba varied from II to 12 cents per yaid. The witness estimateJ that the cotton orop this yer would re quire; about 45,500,000 yards of .cot ton bagging, and it was expected that the total output of all .the mills new running up to time, when they, stop in Norember next, would be over 50,000,000 yards. 1 Mr Gratz said that the productive capaoity of the cotton bagging mills in the West was 25 po? cent greater than the mills in tile East. The employes in the West ere mostly of Bohemian parentage ;s and were paid slightly; more tnaft those in ti e East4 The witness Baid there were considerable quantities of cotton baergiaff oonunsr to this country, but he did not think foreign' mills would be able to bring sufficient cotton baggieg to this country this year to prevent the sale of that held here. The contractors abroad bad their hands . full. There were 24 jute mills in Indiana having i8337 looms on January jlbi, ia wnicn. couiia prodacc 10 or 15 time! the amount of cotton bagging needed for the cotton Crop of th United States. :A number oi ' eon tracts between the firm of Warten, Jones and; Gratz, as agents of -other firms, Snd other cot ton bagging- firms ia the United States,; were irodueed rith a view to showing the -steps taken by several cotton bagging manufacturing firms to Control their production, and to provide for its sale at stipulaUsti prices.. ' 3 I The object of the agreement was to enable the parties to it to obtain and maintain control of cotton bagging produced inj this country. For the present season the trust has secured control of about two-thirds of the cotton bagging in th conoiry, the remaining third, about fifteen million yards, : being 'produced j persons who are not: in any Way connected with the trusts. The Contract shows that the agreement is between the firm of I AVaterbury & Co.,' of New York, the party or the nret -part, and the Charleston Bagging Manufacturing Company: Kevins & CO., of Boston: the New York Bagging Company, the JSagia l Aliils, the Boutnern MUls 15ag ging. Company, the Standard Mills Bagging Company, thet Muncie Bag ging Manufacturing Company and the Empire Bagging Company, the parties of the second part, who agreed to sell and deliver L. Water bury & Co. ail their bagging; then on hand, a well as such : as might thereafter be acquired or. manufactured by them respectively daring the remainder of the year; 1888. The firm of L. Waterbury & (Jompany act as the center of correspondence through which the proposed increase and reduction in price is brought about It itf agreed that the profits and f, lotses of the! parties of the several parts shall be shared in common. The sale and Drices of cot ton bagging are determined by a ma jority ofthe members of tjhe second part. I; The agreement went-into effect on the 16th of April last. Since then two mills signing the agreement have failed' to start, and prottably a dozen or more outside of the truet closed down previously to and since the agree ment was- consummated. The first I set price of cotton bag ging was made in if ew York, by the trust about the middle of July. Nine .: and a half cents was then fixed as the price, January first last. The productive capacity of Warron, Jones and 'Gratz, in cOnjunctidii wun several nrms whictt they repre sented, was two-thirda of all the pro ductive capacity oi .the oouth, but they actually: produced ievgn-eighthB oi au tnat was proaucetl in fche South. oince me price nxea ia July, mem bers of the trust had advanced the price oi eoiion uagging. i penis per yard. The , present price m ttiis country is 3 tents higher than that at which- the foreign iaanufactured product can be brought' here, incln sive of freight charges. This, be aid, wadue to the fact 'that the production . oi tne a materia! m this oountry was confined to a few firms.. Probably sixty per ceat of jtbis year's ootton bag g $ product was in the audi of retail dealers and the other 40 per cent in the hand of manufac turers. If the duty on cotton bagging and jute were not changed, the witness was satisaea tnat tne trust would .go but of existence, and if those articles were v admitted free, ; firms would" doubtless run a corset evmy other yesr.'

Bt Telegtapb to the News and Observtr. Washington, Aug. 31. - Senator Harris, from the committee on ep demio diseases, reported today a sub stitute for the bill prepared by the Treasury department to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases from one state to another. It aa tborizes the President to cause the Secretary of the Treasury to make and promulgate such rules and regu lations as in his judgment may be necessary to prevent the spread from one Sta'o or territory to another f cholera, yellow fever, mall-pox or any plague, and employ as many in spectors and other persons as may be necessary to carry these regulations into . effect. it is made, a misdemeanor punishable by nne and imprisonment to. violate the regulations. Accompanying "the bill is a letter from Secretary Fair- child saying: "It has long been evi dent to! the department having in charge the matter that while the mar itime quarantine is fully up to pres ent retirement 8 the general law mak mg dehmte provisions for the fram ing of regulations for the conduct of operations to prevent the spread of epidemic diseases from one State to another was wholly lacking in vital force and statutory sanction. An appropriation act originally passed to tide over, tue public exigency then existing has been con tinued down to this time and many instances have arisen slfow ing the inadequacy of power to frame satisfactory regulations. In regard to the proposed penalty it is the opinion of the department that no penalty can be too severe for such violation of regulations as would ie troduce a virulent epidemic from one locality to another, and experience, m the conduct of the service has shown conclusively the difficulty of exe cuting by 7 Federal machinery a local ordinance jof a State or a municipality.

Surgeon -General Hamilton has i received the following telegram from J. J.
