THE FINANCIAL STRAIN.
The Republican Caucus and the Expected
Relief Legislation.

aehef hegislatlOu.
Legislators of both parties are awaiting the
meeting of the republican caucus and the COM
pletion Of the financial measure which is to be
brought forward TO relieve the business situa-
tion The expectation of legislative relief is be-
lieved to be all that holds the market from
crash and the necessity of promptness in the
measures Of relief is generally appreciated
The danger of unwise legislation, which instead
of improving would make the situation worse,
makes great haste impracticable. The men of
Congress are embarrassed between the neces-
sities and the dangers of the situation.
1t is expected that the financial bill will be
completed at the caucus tonight, and will be
taken up In the Senate as soon possible.
The burden of the sermon of all the financiers
Is that there must be something done to restore
business confidence; that there is money
enough outstanding if the unreasonable timid-
ity Of those who hold it could be overcome.
THE PROPOSITIONS FOR RELIEF
are more or less experimental. and there is no
certainty that the measure when adopted will
cure the trouble.
There is a full appreciation on the part Of
congressman OF the responsibility upon them
and each one wants to be as wise as he knows
how to be.
1t is thought that a reasonably good bill will
be passed through making an increase of the
currency, which will not necessarily be perma-
nent and progressive.
The great difficulty to be contended with in
the passage Of any financial measure will be
to protect 1T from serious change by amend
ments.
The idea is that to make a bill as complete as
possible and then to hurry il through without
material change in the progress.

TO sTRAIGHTEN THE ROUTE.
President Hurt of the w. aud q. Railroad
Heard by the District Commissioners

PRESIDENT Hurt OF the w. and q. Railroad
Heard by the District Commissioners.
AT a special meeting of the board Of Com
missioners this morning President Henry Hurt.
Gen. Park and Engineer ID. J. CARL Of the
Washington and Georgtown Railroad Company
appeared in the interest of Honse bill la5T
which is an act to amend the act incorporating
the Washington and Georgetown railroad by a
change of route. the first clause of which
Is the elimination of the companys tracks
from Pennsylvania avenue at the foot Of the
Peace monument south along LIST TO b street
south, thence north along B street south 10 the
top OF the hill, and the substitution of tracks
running north from the Peace monument to
B street south. along B street north to the west
front OF the Capitol 10 connect with the exist
ing tracks at New Jersey avenue and street
southeast.
WHY he WANTS THE RoUTE CHANGED.
In this connection Mr.. Hurt spoke at length,
pointing out the advantages to be derived i'm
his opinion. from such a construction. He said
that the elimination of the present tracks and
the substitution of the route proposed in this
clause would be of the greatest benefit TO the
construction of cable road. At present the
many and difiicnlt curves along that
portion OF the road sought to be
stricken out made it next 10 an
lmpossibihty TO operate cable road over II.
lie pointed out the fact that the public desir-
ing To visit the Capitol would be brought nearer
10 the building proper. and the railroad serv-
Ice would be greatly facilitated. for where one
car now runs there about every six minutes
under the new arrangement there would be one
along every minute and a half.
THE FIFTEENTH STREET CLAUSE
Taking up the second clause Of the bill. which
allows the company TO continue its tracks up
18th street 20 and thence east along 1 TO the
regular tracks on I4th. thereby doing away
with the New York avenue branch az far as
street. he said that the substitution of this
route would not only be of greater benefit To
the public. but would be the means of avert
ing the danger incident 10 cable road rum
ming on practically the same tracks AZ a horse
car which is the fact on 18th street between
New York avenue and II street.
THE AoUEDuCT BRIDGE ACROSS ROCK CREEK.
He especially urged that the Commissioners
favorabiy report that clause allowing the CON-
pany To Use the aqueduct bridge across Rock
creek. The company used this for fifteen
years. and the present route is circuitous and
contains number of bad curves, which he said
would operate against the running of a cable
road.
The Commissioners stated that the bill i'm
question was before them for report and i'm
accordance with their policy. public hearing
had been advertised to take place on Friday
next at O'Clock when they would be glad 70
again hear the gentlemen.

Slight Fluctuations In stocks, With a Rising
Tendency.

New YORK, Dec. 17.-The stock market this
morning showed a continuance Of yesterdays
iullness, but WAS even narrower and while the
early dealings maintained the firm tone of yes
terdays late transactions n general reaction
carried prices below those of the opening. The
latter were generally from n 10 3 higher than
last evenings final figures, but Atchison was

further gains were confined 10 slight
fractions only. and outside of Union Pacific

Northern Pacific preferred there vas no ami
nation in the market. In the reaction which
followed the early upward movement Union
Pacific retired l. to per cent TO 43L, show
ing a loss of per cent from the opening and
= from last night. The movements in other
stocks were less pronounced though Chicago
gas after opening of per cent nj 35ls retired
to 34SI.
Notwithstanding the dizziness. however, prices
late IN the hour crawled up again and at N
O clock the market was dull but firm at close
TO the opening figures. Money is easy at and
5 per cent. The stock market. while extremely
still firm and prices continued 10 rise slowly
the early losses being IN almost all cases re-
covered, with something i'm addition i'm many
cases. The declines, however, were entirely
devoid of feature, and at noon the market Was
dull and firm and generally at shade above
the opening prices.

SENATOR GORMAN'S LOSS.
His Beautiful Home at Laurel, Nd, I
stroyed by Fire.


stroyed by Fire.
There were very general expressions Of SYM
pathy at the Capitol today for Senator German,
whose beautiful home at Laurel, Nd, was de-
stroyed by fire about O'Clock this morning.
The Senator feels his loss keenly.
HE REGRETS THE LOSS OF HIS LIBRARY.
To STAR reporter he said that the greatest
affliction was the destruction Of his library
''The library" he said, ''was the accumulation
of a lifetime, much of it coming to me from
my father. 1 can form no estimate as to its
value; it was beyond commercial computation.
Then We had a great many valuable family
relics and pictures; these cannot be replaced.
''1t is most fortunate that no one was hurt;
that is the one thing for which il is possible to
be thankful. suppose the house and the fur
niture were worth from Sl5, 900 TO $4,000 The
loss is almost total, for the insurance did not
practically amount to anything"
Mrs. German and Miss Daisy Gorman we're
in the house at the time the fire was discovered,
but they escaped without injury.
HE WILL REBUILD.
The Senator will build q new house on the
old site. The building which was destroyed
was of frame. 1t was large and roomy. We
randas surrounded it and it was Q most desir-
able residence.

FORMER APPORTIONMENTs.
The Present Bill Is Much in Advance a
Those in Earlier Years.

The Present Bill Is Much I'm Advance of
Those in Earlier Years.
The apportionment bill is expected to pass
the House today and, as no opposition is an-
ticipated in the Senate, tho bill will probably
become law in short time. II this is the
case it will be the earliest date after the taking
OF the census that an apportionment bill has
ever gotten through Congress. This has been
due not 80 much to the delay on the part Of
Congress rs that the statistics of population
were not furnkshed more promptly. The fol-
lowing data will show that the work Of the
present census is far in advance of any previ-
GUS census.
FORMER ApPoRTIoNMENrs.
The law for the first apportionment for rep
resentation in Congress was passed April Il,
1892. The second apportionment act was
passed December 81, 1911: the third March z.
iS92; the fourth May ~, 1882; the fifth June rs,
1912; the sixth July 80, 1852; the seventh March
4, 1852; the eighth February Q, 1879, and the
ninth February Is, 1882.
During this period the time allotted for tax
ing the census has been reduced from nine
months TO thirty days for the country districts
and fifteen days for the city. Mr.. Porter, the
superintendent OF the census, is OF the opinion
that the time will be still further reduced SO that
in the future the census OF the entire population
will be taken in few days. Mr.. Porter is
gratifed that he has been able to show results
90 promptly, and he says that the work would
have besn less effective If it had not been for
the hearty support and reimbursement which
he received from Secretary Noble.
