THE TROLLEY IN CONGRESS-.
Why Members Hesitate to Talk OF
the Subject.

Members OF the present House who were
on the District committee last session en-
tertain the general opinion that opportunity
will be afforded during the session for the
consideration Of District affairs. Mr..
Richardson. who expects to be a member
Of the District Committee. is very hopeful.
He said today that in his opinion there Is
no occasion to anticipate any disinclina-
ton upon the part Of the House to set aside
the usual two days in each month for the
consideration of District affairs. As far
as he himself is concerned. he would like
to have more time than that accorded the
District. He realizes he said that the
needs Of the District are constantly in

Mr.. Richardson, who is a candidate for
chairman. is still shy on the trolley ques-
ton. He Is very coy when the subject is
introduced. He explains his bashfulness by
saying that as a prospective member Of
the committee which will have Jurisdiction
over this subject he is in the position of a

pressing an opinion.

from Tennessee are pronounced advocates

Mr. Heard of Missouri, the other candi-
GATE Tor chairman. Is also a little diffident
upon the trolley subject inasmuch as he de-
cilned to discuss 1t. He says, however
that his record in past years upon this
shows that he has never entertained any
prejudice to the trolley, not objecting to
1t Tor suburban use but never recommends
ing 1t for use where the citizens obiected.
1t appears to De the unanimous opinion of
members interested in District affairs that
an effort Will be made at this session to
authorize the use of the trolley in this city,
and in proof thereof is cited the hesitancy
of members to talk upon the subject.

THE FINANCIAL STRUGGLE.
1t Began in the Senate Without Delay
Some Speeches.

The financial struggle was begun In the
Senate yesterday almost before the last
words Of the Presidents message had been
read. Mr.. Hale started the ball rolling by
the Introduction Of a resolution fixing the
hour of meeting Of the Senate at II O'Clock.
He did this. he said. in order to expedite
matters.
Senators on the republican side wanted
Immediate action They wanted the Senator
from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) to report a
bill in accordance with the patriotic sug-
gestions Of the President. SO that the Sen
ate could get to work on Thursday morning.
Such measure could only be passed In one
way. and that was by the Senate sitting
days and nights and Sundays.
AIR. German of Maryland resented Mr.
Hale's remarks as being made to gain a
partisan advantage 1t was small poll

luton.

Maine knew. and as the country knew dis

the proper remedy to be applied He trusted
that all Senators would arise above mere
partisanship and would settle the question
to the interests Of the country; and he
hoped that nothing would be done the
republican side Of the chamber to excite
party feeling on the democratic side.
He trusted that, from this time on 1t
would be thoroughly understood that Sem
ators were here to serve their country; that
tnere was an aWfuf condition of affairs eX-
listing, and that they would come to the con-
sideration of the question deliberately and
calmly, with view Of perfecting some leg
islation that would give relief
Mr.. voorhees, also took a hand in the de-
bate, and during his remarks said:
Il shall issue the call tomorrow for
the committee to meet Thursday to
take up the great question as It must be
taken up-far away from the species of
Cheap demagoguers such as We have been
listening to- The idea Of dealing with the
question in the hop p-skip-a and jump style sug-
gested by the Senator from Maine is amaz-

now forward to undo what he has helped
to do. The Senator from Maine forgets that
every curse of the Sherman act comes

not on this. Not a single vote on our side
was given for that miserable act. l never
believed In il and do not now. But the
idea of the Senator from Maine appealing

and fraud which he himself voted to fasten

THE UNION OF THE BANKS.
The Committee Considering q Plan of
Organization.


The committee appointed at the meet
ing Of the representatives of the banks
and the financial institutions Of the city
held Monday evening met yesterday at the
Metropolitan Bank and discussed plans for
a more complete union of the banking in
stituuons of the city. The action of the
committee is not final, but will lie reported
to the next meeting of the bankers Of the
city. The spirit which was manifest at
the meeting on Monday night looking to-
ward closer union of the banking inter-
ests of the city was evident The plan of
organization of the clearing house asso-
Citations in most of the large cities was dis
cussed and 1t was thought that something
OF the kind could be formed here
1t was decided to send representative to
Baltimore and possibly to New York to ex-
anime the plan of the organization of the
clearing house associations in those cities.
There Is a clearing house organization in
this city, but it is merely for the purpose OF
close of each days business. In other cities
the clearing house associations have a
wider scope. which enables all the institu-
gency to adopt such measures as will result
in the general welfare.
In New York recently the banks have is
sued what are known clearinghouse GER
tilicates, which relieves the members of the
association from a drain of cash 1t Is pro
posed to adopt similar plan here. and the
committee will procure blank forms Of the
certificates used in other cities and will
make themselves familiar with other details
50 that their report will be clear and prac-
teal.
In some cases the clearing house associ-
ations are corporate bodies, with well de-
fined powers and duties. Something of the
same sort will be proposed to the bankers
In this city.
There is no apprehension that there will
be any trouble in this city. but independ-
snt Of the prospect of trying times it is be-
lieved that the association of the banks of
n city for purposes of mutual protection
and help facilitates business and strength
ems the credit OF the city. 1t is proposed to
place this city on an equal footing with
any other city as far as the banking facil-
tiles are concerned

VESSELS OF THE NAVY.
A Reassig nment of Them Will Prob
ably Be Made Soon.

The conditions which recently threatened
the peace OF the many countries Of the Pa
cific having practically disappeared through
natural causes. there is no longer the same
urgency for American war ships on that
station. and the Navy Department has more
time to consider the work desired Of the
vessels composing that fleet. Nearly all Of
these took part in the naval review at New
York. and were hurriedly prepared for duty
ON the Pacific, then thought to require I'M
mediate attention. Since then affairs
have quieted down considerably, and the
occasion for haste has passed. This Is par
ticularly the case with Samoa and Nicara-
qua. which appear to have resumed their
normal state.
The disposition Of the Pacific fleet will
not be settled for some time yet, and the
only thing Known in regard to the matter
Is that the Boston, which has been at
Honolulu ever since the overthrow Of the
Hawaiian monarchy. will be sent to San
Francisco as soon she Is relieved. The
Philadelphia and the Alliance are the only
vessels on the Pacific coast available for
this duty at present. but the Yorktown will
also be there in q few weeks. One Of these
three will be sent to Honolulu, and another
one will go to Samoa, leaving but one on
the lower Pacific coast The squadron will
soon be strengthened by the arrival Of the
Charleston and the return of the vessels
patrolling the sealing grounds in Bering
sea. The Charleston Is now at Fortress
Monroe. and will start on her long voyage
this week certainly.
