That was the quotation sent over the
wires from New York yesterday, and
mining men were feeling very much en-
couraged over the steady advance in the
price of the white metal.
The figure reached yesterday is the
highest quoted since the big slump. and
shows an increase OF just 3 cents in a
week. The steady advance is looked
upon as a favorable omen OF what Con-
gress will do. and many think it result
of the strong indications Tor favorable
legislation at the extra session.

III selecting or purchasing
your advertising space. By
that we mean, don't insist on
getting the best and paying
the least money for it. There
is such a thing as being too
shreWd and too driving in
concluding a contract. 1t
has become a custom with
some managers of mercantile
institutions, to listen very
|attentively, admit every p0lnt.
and then offer to close the
ideal at just one-half the
figure quoted by the adver-
Using agent. If the solicitor
says, "that space with posi-
ton guaranteed, will cost
you $1,000 for the year, the
so-called shrewd bargain
driver often says, "he will
give you $3.50 and close the
deal at once" The result is,
very often the solicitor goes
prepared to drop in price, and
consequently accommodate
the shrewd q manager.
Understand your business;
comprehend your wants; be
capable of estimating the
value of an article and if you
WANT it, buy it and pay the
figure quoted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The session of
the house today was an eventful one.
The attendance was small and nothing
but private business was considered
with the exception of bill regarding
muster and pay of certain officers and
men of the volunteer forces. About
twenty-five private bills were passed
and the house adjourned until to-
morrow.
Ia his prayer this morning the chap
lam uttered special invocation for di-
vlne protection for the governors and
legislatures of the several states. The
speaker, after the approval of the jour
nal and a fruitIess call Of committees
for reports, stated that on December IL
q bill had been called up by Mr.. Outh-
waite extending the provisions of the
act To provide for the muster and pay
OF certain officers and men for the vol.
unteer forces. He further stated that
upon that date no quorum had voted
upon the measure aud it's consideration
had been postponed until Monday. Mr..
kilgore tiemocrat) of Texas suggested
that the house had had no authority TO
make any order for postponement as
there had been no quorum present.
The Speaker-No quorum voting.
As he altered these words the speaker
himself could not repress a smile, while
q laugh went through the house. which
was made more emphatic when Mr..
Reed republican, of Maine tryly re-
marked inst he hoped that the gentle.
man from Texas would understand the
distinction. IL was a perfectly legal
one. The bill was passed. The house
then proceeded to the consideration of
the unfinished business, being private
pension bills coming over from last ses-
sIou. -Four or FIVE were passed without
opposition, but Mr.. kilgore made the
point Of no quorum on the next, and a
cali of the house was ordered. One
hundred and eighty-six members re-
sponded to their names. Then about
twenty-five private pension bulls were
passed without opposition. and at 4:3O

PARIS, Jan. 6.-It is reported that
the proof against NJ. Baihut, AS we'll as
against other important personages
whom the government :s prosecuting
or preparing 20 prosecute, Is due to an
understanding arrived at between the
authorities and NJ. Charles DeLesseps,
whereby the latter, in consideration of
giving ali the information IN his power
IN relation to the beneficlaries of
Panama corruption, is to he treated
with great leniency, II not admitted to
absolute immunity. The report is that
NJ. Charles DeLesseps has made al
u preserved statement of all the facts
within his knowledge. NJ. De Lesseps'
motives are said to be not only to Sc

company Was forced 10y irresistible
pressure on the part of officials and
press to choose between wholesale cor
ruption and the threatened ruin of the
enterprise. Ii IS said that the acknOwl-
edgments made by NJ. De Lesseps are
of the most startling character, and
will cause a sensation III America as
well a. III France.
