Graceful women of 6o.

Miss Mantalini writes to the Pail Nall
Gd@ette: Old ladies in the ordinary sense of
the word are getting remarkably scarce. l
never come across old ladies' bonnets,
dresses, cloaks or fnery in any shape or
form for old ladies at the shops People
tell me they don't make such things. The
fact is that women of so and 60 have ceased
to make frights of themselves. They don't
wear their clothes (boots, bonnets and
gloves iucluded) four times too big for them
like the old ladies of past years used to.
Less capacious GARMENTS are found to be
just as comfortable.
Women of 60 can and do dress gracefully
nowadays. Those who have lost their own
hair wear artifi eial, and look all the better
for doing SO. With nice hair, whether real
or otherwise, a woman of 60 can always
put on respectable looking bonnet. Ugly
old ladies will have vanished altogether BY
the time the Princess of Wales is 80.

MORRoW's CHINESE BILL.
a Poor Prospect of it Being Taken u
for Considaratlon

A Poor Prospect of it Being Taken up
for Consideration.
WASHINGTON, January 4ih Morrow was
asked about the prospects of getting his
Chinese bill through. He said: There
are so many important measures before
Congress and 50 many members are striv.
ing to have dsy set fer the consideration
of their bills that it is doubtful if the anti
Chinese bill can secure day."
1t is well known that Hit of Illinois.
Chairman of the Committee On Foreign
Affairs, is opposed to the bill, but his oppo-
sition will not be manifested on the floor
Of the House. He opposed it strongly in
committee, and submitted a minority re-
port, but he has promised that on the Aoor
of the House be viii be silent and let Nor.
row assume entire charge of the bill. Nor
row will OF course exert himself to the
utmost to secure day for its consideration
and passage, but the result is in great
doubt.
Mckinley, Chairman of the Committee
on Rules, has never expressed himself as
against Morrow's bill, and it is believed be
would be glad to set day for its consid.
Grafton if there were not so many import
ant measures pending. If its consideration
can only be reached, Morrow has no fears
but that it will pass.

DILAToRY PROCEEDINGS.
Much Dissatisfaction with the Slowness

OF congress-
WASHINGTON, January 4th-It begins TO
be apparent at present that the unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs in the Senate must be
soon terminated. Fifty working days will
be the life of the fifty. first Congress, yet the
first of the regular annual appropriation
bills remains to be acted on by the Senate.
The feeling of impatience which this
condition of the public business aroused
has gathered strength every day. Signif-
cant remarks uttered each week by Senators
of recognized influence appear to have had
no effect in bringing the Senate nearer to q
change of the programme that has held
sway since Congress met in December last.
A caucus of Republican Senators is to
be held probably Monday evening, and it is
confidently expected by most of the Re-
publican Senators that, as the result of it,
before the week expires the crisis will have
been reached with respect to the elections
bill, and the Senate will have arrived at a
clear understanding Of what course it is
to pursue for the remainder of the session.
The lines of battle are narrowing and
there is gathering of forces. 1t is be.
lieved that there will be a series of night
sessions, designed to test the efficacy of the
old methods of passing bill obnoxious to
the minority, as well as to secure the adop-
ton of the new cloture rule, if it be decided
to pass this measure.
1t is expected, however, that this order
will not be made before Tuesday, as night
session Monday would interfere with the
desired caucus. In the House to- morrow
it will be individual suspension day." and
members will be given an opportunity tc
pass measures of local interest

San Jose Real Estate Man to Build d
Mexican Railroad.
SAN JOSE, January 4th.-Arthur G.
Field, a local real estate dealer, has re.
turned from trip to Mexico, and brings
information that he has been given valu.
able railroad franchise in the State oi
Durango.
The Government gives him subvention
of $l3. 900 per mile, free right of way and
depot grounds. The road will extend from
the City of Durango to Zacatecas, distance
oftwo hundred miles, at the latter place
makins a junction with the Mexican Cen,
trail.
1t will pass through and develop one Of
the richest portions of Mexico. 1t will
give an impetus to the silver mines around
Durango, as now the ore is carried on bur-
ros backs to the railroad, two hundred
miles distant, and as result the mines are
not fully developed and but slowly worked
with most primitive machinery.
1t is understood that London capital is
backing Mr.. Field.

She says to them;
"The recent report of the Keely Motor

an empty treasury, to make known to you
that the publication of said report has

WAsHrNGTos, January h.-Representa-

call up that measure next Tuesday, and he
does not anticipate any Democratic oppo-
sitien to the question of consideration.

considered necessary.
y It is quite possible said Farquhar,
that We shall not press the substitute
which is now before the House. We may,
for the sake of avoiding friction. take the
Senate bill and amend it By striking out
the first section and inserting the first sec.
ton of the substitute. Then we may adopt
the rest of the Senate bill, adding the pos
tai and naval clauses. The bill will not
then be as complete and thorough as the
substitute, but il will be a good law, and l
