PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Several Northwestern Bills Passed
in the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-When the
senate met today the spectators in the
galleries were more numerous than uSu-
al-the woman suffragists, who had
been having a hearing before their spe-
cial committee. being largely repre-
sented. Only one OF the two reelected
Mississippi SenatOrS-Mr. Walthall-
was in his seat; and he received con-
gratulations from his fellow senators of
both parties. Mr.. George entered the
chamber and took his seat while the
business of the morning hour was in
progress, and was also warmly congrat-
ulated.
Mr.. Plat introduced bill to enable
New Mexico to form a constitution and
state government, and to he admitted
into the Union as state. He said that
he introduced it AZ the request of the
delegate from New Mexico, but without
committing himself to its provisions.
The senate then took up the calendar,
the first eighteen bills upon it being for
public buildings. The following were
passed: Grand Haven, Mich, $50, 900;
Deadwood, s. d., S20G: 600; Saltwater,
Mimi, 100000; Salem, Or, $780,
600; The Dalles, Oregon, $780,
900. The latter bill gave rise
to long discussion, but il
was finally passed. yeas 35, nays 10.
All the negative votes were given 10y
DemOcratS-the only Democrats voting
in the affirmative with The Republicans
being Messrs. Blodgett, Brice, Call,
Daniel and Vest. Mr.. PETER also
voted aye. A bill also passed for a
public building ct Fresno, Cal, $4,000.
The senate resumed consideration OF
the La Abra bill, and after tedious
and wholly uninteresting discussion the
bill went over till tomorrow without ac-
ton. Mr.. WaShburn introduced bill
defining options and futures and impos-
ing special taxes on dealers therein.
Referred to the Judiciary committee.

kenny township, three miles from town.
this year again tried his luck with the
cultivation of watermelons, and for this
purpose obtained what are known as
the Christmas melon seed-a ten-cent
package-from William III. Maule,
ofQ Philadelphia. Mr.. Hunsecker
planted the seed in the garden and a
patch near the house about the midnle
of May. Three stalks in the garden
produced nine melons. and from the
stalks in the patch he obtained eleven.
In all he got twenty melons. which
were pulled just before the frost set in.
They are of bright green, rich color,
luscious, and of good size.
Mr.. Hunsecker has been using them
off and on since they were pulled, and
they would keep until Christmas with
out any trouble. He brought one to
town Yesterday and presented it to the
editor of the Opinion. Just before
bringing it to the office he had Grocery
man Deck to put it in on the scales. and
it weighed twenty pounds. Some of The
production weighed even heavier. AS
rare production at this time of the year,
they certainly take the cake. Melons
maturing i'll July and August could not
be more tempting.

TELEGRAPH CONTRACT.
1t Is Held Illegal by Canadian
Court of ADDeaIS

MoNTREAL.P. O.. Jan. 2O.-The court
of appeals has given its opinion of the
contract which telegraph companies
print on the blanks which they furnish.
The case on hand was that of Laurence
vs.. The Great Northwestern Company.
WhileLionel Laurence was in New Y ork
one of his employees sent him dispatch,
saying: Writing you tonight" The
sentence was made to read: "Waiting
you tonight" Consequently Mr.. Lau-
renee made an unnecessary trip from
New York to Montreal and sued the
telegraph company for $500 damages.
The court in the first instance awarded
$50, the actual cost of the trip from New
York. The company appealed from
this decision. The proof established
the fact that the error was due to the
negligence of the employees of the COM
pany, but the appellant set up the plea
that the dispatches were sent under a
contract which declared that it would
not be liable for damages resulting from
errors unless the dispatch was repeated,
and then only to the amount of fifty
times the price paid for the message.
Such contract the court declared to be
contrary to public policy, and any con-
tract by which party sought to fix the
punishment for his faults was illegal.
The Judgment was confirmed.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-Wall street today
showed every indication of having recovered
from both the Missouri Pacific war and the
CHILEAN war outlook. The market rose right
from the opening sales. which were generally
from Us to " per cent better than last night s
figures, while a few shares showed gains of
per cent The very liberal buying made the
grangers the leaders and advances were very
large all through the active list, and the In
dustrals, which have of late been the weak
point. followed the railroad list up. even
though bad break in distillers in tie early
dealings occurred.
The strength of the general market how
ever. was such that one stock had no power
to affect the remainder. Distillers later raj
lied and scored a material improvement as
the result of the days'S operations. The low
priced shares were not prominent features in
the trading, but Wheeling and Lake Erie and
Louisville New Albany & Chicago were
active and strong with the rest of the list
The buying continued undated until well
into the afternoon when prices of the active
shares were from 1 to ) per cent better than
those OF last night but at this juncture the
buyers of yesterday sold out and fractional
reaction occurred led by distllIers and
dropped away l per cent from its best figure.
The general list. however. yielded slowly
and StubbOrnly ana new buying appeared in
the final dealings with the effect of Drinking
most stocks up 10 their previous best prices,
while some attained even higher figures The
market closed active aud strong at the high
est prices of tn. day. All tie leading shares
are materially higher tonight and the most
important gains comprise: ST. Paul. PA ;
sugar. Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Reading
and Omaha each rs.
The Post says: Exactly that happened at
the opening this morning which intelligent
observers OF yesterdays market had eX-
pected. Some time after yesterdays business
had closed, the little bear operators learned
what the big operators as was suggested i'll
this column yesterday, had known before
O'Clock. When the spectators came troop
ing in this morning to buy back their stocks,
the stocks were not at all easy TO get.
Leaders who expressed the most profound
encouragement yesterday afternoon, assisted
this by carrying the market out of the reach
of their unlucky followers. The commits
sion houses in particular were full of orders,
undoubtedly from this source. A most in
structive illustration was thus afforded of
the professional small frys readiness to play
the part additionally assigned to the ''out-
side public

A CUT ON WHISKY,
The Trust Knocks Off Two Cents
Per Gallon.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-That whisky is to
be cheaper was determined today at the
second days session of the secret meet
NC of the board of directors of the Dis
tlllers and Cattle Feeders company.
There were two elements of the board
one advocating that the price of whisky
trust certificates should be sustained bv
maintenance of price; the other in
slstlng that the active competition of
the new diStillerieS outside of the trust.
at st. Louis, Pekin and other points.
and the prospective opposition of the
new combination of wholesale dealers
formed at Philadelphia, required that
active steps should be taken by the
trust to hold its business by an oppor-
tune concession in prices.
After long and bitter discussion the
cut was agreed to unanimously and the
price of whiSkey fixed at Sl.16 instead
Of $1.T per gallon. The price
had been stationary at S1.1S for a
long time, the trust having. until re-
Gently, controlled 80 per cent of the out
put and thus been enabled to advance
the price from S1.l3 to that figure. The
hugh price of the product has OF late of
fered an inviting field to new enter
prlSeS and many new diStilleries have
sprungsup to divide the whisky bust
ness it'll the great trust. The future
evidently promises bitter contest for
supremacy i'll the whisky trade.
