CAPITOL TOPICS.
Not Strauss without QaiGa.

Representative-elect Strauss of New York.
who succeeds Mr. Fellows. resigned. made his
first appearance in the House today and the
members of the New York delegation sought
to have him sworn in at once. His certifi-
cate Of election had not yet arrived. but
this was to be overcome by unanimous con-
sent that the oath should be administered.
II was also proposed that the new repub-
lican member from New York. Mr.. Quigg.
should also be sworn in. 1t was found. how
ever, that Quigg had gone to New York.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Reed said.
when appealed to In behalf of Strauss. that
IL would hardly be regular to swear In
Strauss without also swearing in Quigg,
Thereupon Representative Dunphy tele-
graphed Quigg 10 come on at once. that

The Anticipation Hill.
Representative McMillin. chairman of the
ways and means subcommittee to whom
the Hatch anticipation bill was referred
says he will not ask the subcommittee to
consider the bill until Mr.. Hatch has an
opportunity to ask the House to take the

Jure- MIR, McMillin says there Is no desire
On the part of himself or his associates
TO hold on to the anticipation bill. and they
would be glad to have Mr.. Hateh's COM
mittee take Charge of it, This assures an
early and favorable report, as the sisnifi-
cant point of contention between the two
committees was that the agriculture COM
mittee would speedily report in favor of
restricting options, wnile the ways and
means committee action was uncertain
and likely in any event to be reached only
after a considerable time.

Representative WILSON'S ILLNESS
Much Anxiety Caused Here BY the Re.

Much Anxiety Caused Here BY the Re.
ports From Kansas City.
The illness Of Chairman Wilson Of the
ways and means committee At Kansas
City causes much anxiety among his as
sociates In the House Of Representatives.
He has been much more than q party lead
er among them, and there is a personal at
tachment to him, irrespective of party. His
son. who acts as his private secretary, re-
ceived q short telegram from his father
yesterday saying: slight sickness from
throat Since then nothing has been re-
ceived. The press dispatches Of this morn
ing. stating that Mr. Wilson had a high
fever last night. and that the doctor would
corfine him to his room for a week brought
out the fact that Mr.. Wilson had a high
fever the day before he left here which CON
tinued with him up to the time of bis de-
parture 1t was the result of the strain put
on him by his last work in connection with
the tariff.
Wednesday night prior to the morning of
his departure he remained up until after
midnight correcting his closing tariff speech
in order that 1t might appear in the Record
Throughout this labor he WAS suffering with
a high fever. The fever remained in the
morning, but he would not change his
plans for leaving at IL o'clock. The pres
emf collapse is directly traceabfe to the
last strain and the months of taris work
which led up to it.
On the Point Of EnintinE.
AT times during the tariff debate Mr. VIII
son was on the point of fanting Much of
the eloquent speech which closed the debate
was made with his eyes closed. The friends
who were near him at these times are not
surprised at his present illness. but they
have the best hopes that his indomitab BILE
Will and courage will carry him through.
Al noon today Representative Breckin-
ridge of Arkansas. who has been very close
to Mr.. Wilson during the tariff struggle,
telegraphed to Representative Tarsney at
Kansas City for Information as to the con-
dit;on of the tariff leader.
Any serious impairment of his health
would infiict a severe loss upon the House.
especially in this Congress. where he has
charge Of the great bill of this session
However. for some weeks to come there
will be no occasion for him to give any
thought to the tariff question or to distress
himself about the affairs of the House.
Not until the tariff bin has been passed
by the Senate and returned to the House
will he be called upon to renew his labors.
and it is hoped that by that time he will be
restored to health.
