(Columbia Record, 18th.) By a vote or 54 to 54, the House ? last night refused to pass to third reading tho primary election reform bill now pending in the Senate and lack of one vote has apparently kill ed the hope ol* passage of this legis lation at the present session of tho General Assembly.

Mr. Stevenson led the light to enact leg islation which would guarantee hon est primaries to South Carolina. The bill killed by the Honst last night did not throw any restrictions around enrolling for primary elec tions other than those required by the rules of tho Democratic party, its advocates declare, would not have disfranchised a single white man, but would have eliminated "repeating" and other forms of Illegal voting.

Washington, Feb. 14.-A saving of ?75,000,000 a year to the cotton growers of the South, it is estimated jy Senator E. D. Smith, of South karolina, would result if the araend nent he proposes to offer to the ag .icultural appropriation bill is adopt ?d. He would appropriate about SL IGO. 000 to furnish each shipping >oint in the South a set of govern ment standard grades of cotton, to gether with a set of samples showing he spinning value of each grade, so hat hereafter producers ol' colton nay not be deceived by buyers and >> values arbitrarily llxed by cotton exchanges. Senator Smith received to-day from he Department of Agriculture the ?esults of its test as to the different grades of cotton, standardized by the government to determine the amount )f waste In converting a given nuni le r of bales into yarn; to establish he actual strength of the yarn Trom ?ach grade: to bleach the cotton and a rn from each grade, and to deter nine the cost and result of bleachi ng. Only the "full grades" were ested. "Taking the whole findings." said Senator Smith, "on an average the inference between the high grades md the low grades as now quoted in be market is from $10 to $lf> a mle. Assuming the average crop at !f..000.000 bales, lt is conservative o estimate one-half or the crop nt niddling. This would give 7,500,000 ?'low the middling grades, and cal culating that the farmers have lost, tecause of the lack of this knowl edge, an average or $10 a bale, it vould mean an annual loss to the elton farmers of $75,000.000."

House Pusses Hill for Government Lino lit Fur Northwest. Washington, Feb. 18.-The admin istration Alaska railroad bill, author izing the President to construct a $35,000.000 railroad from Alaska's coast to Its great coal fields, was passed by the House late to-day by a vote of 230 to S7. A similar measure already bas passed the Semite and the bill will bc taken up at once In conference be tween the two Houses, with a view to sending it quickly to the President] who has signified his intention of signing it. At the eleventh hour, after a sharp parliamentary skirmish, the House eliminated from tho bill, as reported by the Territories Committee, a pro vision authorizing 9 bond issue of $35,000,000 to finance the railroad and to he paid off by the proceeds of government land sales In Alaska Thc Senate hill provides for a $40,000 000 bond Isstio. Representative Fitzger ald, of New York, led a fight which resulted In striking out the entire bond provision from the bill. if udor the amended measure the project would be financed out of cur rent funds tn the treasury, tho Presi dent being limited to $35.000.000 and $1.000,000 being appropriated for immediate expenses. Congress would appropriate each year the amount estimated as necessary for the construction of the road. Tho hill provides for the const "no tion of o road "not to exceed 1.000 miles-, to be so located as to connect one or more of the open Pacific Ocean harbors on the southern coast of Alaska with the navigable waters in the Interior of Alaska and with a coal Held or fields yielding coal sufficient in quality and quantity for naval use so as to best aid in the development of the agricultural and mining ol other resources of Alaska." An effort was made by opponents of the bill, led by Representative Davenport, of Oklahoma, to postpone the final vote until Wednesday, hui it was defeated. Second Dig Dian. Tho project ls of more interest than even the expenditure of the $35,000, 000 proposed would ordinarily c?e nte. Coining so soon after the com pletion of the Panama Canal it is at tracting attention as another great engineering project under the direc tion of the American government. In a sense, too, it compares with the government's undertaking in the '00s to push the Pacific railways across the unbroken prairies and mountains of the West and thus link together the West and the IOast. Moreover, the new pioject is to be the first test in this country of government own ership of a public utility; it is ex pected to open to the commerce of the world g "eat and rich resources that until r.ow have been for the most part lying idle; it will afford employment to a large army of men both n its construction and in its niaintoianeo; it will develop Alaska agriculturally as wed as In other wf.ys by attracting homesteaders; and 1 will cheapen greatly various eornipdities of commetcc, notably coal..?
