TaE WEEK IN CoNGREss.


 The Features win be the Vote In inc
 Senate to Repeal the Federal Elec.
 ton Laws, the Hawaiian Resolu-
 tion fin the House and the Resolu-
 ton AxaIbst the Bond Reserve in
 tho Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The features of the week in congress will be the votes on the bill to repeal the federal election laws in the senate on the McCreary Hawaiian resolution in the house and perhaps on the Stewart resolution declaring against the proposed treasury bond issue in the senate. The election law repeal bill comes up in the senate to morrow afternoon and Is to be discussed by Senators, Chandler, Bate, Hawley. Harris, Hoar, Frye and Vest. The discussion is to close Tuesday, at 4 o'clock, when the senate will vote on the bill and amendments.
 There may be struggle for precedence Wednesday as Senator Teller has given mo- tlce of his intention to call up the McGsr- rahan bill, while Senator Vest has given similar notice respecting the bill to pro- vice for the erection of 8 new government printing office The Stewart bond reaolu- tion will again be taken up in the morning hour of Wednesday with some chance of finding a more permanent resting place than the vice president's table if the de- bate is not protrscted beyond the limits of the morning hour. Tie interest in the executive sessions during the week will de- pend largely upon whether the committee on the judiciary, which meets tomorrow, acts on the nomination of Wheeler H. Peckhsm as associate justice of the su- preme court.
 In the house after the vote on Tuesday afternoon upon the resolutions relating to Hawaii Mir. Bland will call up the silver seignorage bill, reported by him from the committee on coinage. MT. Bland Is san- guine that the bill will pass without seri- ous opposition or delay. He thinks the consider 1t ss the subject has been thor oughly discussed. He believes that more than thirty republicans will vote for 1t. He assumes that the democrats who voted for the repeal of the Sherman law and many who have been disappointed at the lack of results therefrom will vote for this bill. He believes that two-thirds, if not three fourths of the democratic members are for 1t.
 When the Bland bill Is out of the way, and probably not more than two days will be given to 1t, ths contested election case of O'Neil vs. Joy from the Eleventh dis trict of Missouri will come up on the re- port of the committee on elections to oust Joy and seat O'Neil. O'Neil will probably be seated by strict party vote. Should there be any time left after thess two mat ters are disposed of the house will be asked to consider the Notifications bill.
 Speaker Crisp and Chairman Ssyers of the appropriations committee will make every effort to have the appropriations bill promptly disposed of in the house.

RECEIVING STRONG INDoRsE-
MENTS.
Mr.. william Clifton Making a Good
Race for Secretary Of State.

From all accounts, Mr.. William Clifton
is making a strong race for secretary of
state. Already, by ballot and otherwise,
he has received the Endorsement of
Catoosa, Cobb, Floyd. Muscogee, Monroe.
Montgomery, Tattnall, Mcintosh, Glynn
ana Wayne counties.
A great many of the counties in which
MIR. Clifton has strong support have
not acted on any of the state house
officers except the governor, and his
friends say he will have q large following
from the counties which are to send dele
gates uninstructed as regards the other
state house officers.
Mr.. Clifton is receiving encouraging
letters from all parts of the state, and is
much encouraged by the fact that several
counties which have instructed for him
are in the extreme northern portion of
the state, which indicat ties that his friends
and supporters are not confined to any
one section. He had many friends
in the last legislature who are giving him
their ardent support In this section OF
the state from the Savannah river across
TO the Chattahoochee there are about
sixty counties which have not, in thirty
or forty years, had an elective state Of
fcer. OF these, Chatham Is one, and ia
this section Mr.. Clifton has a strong fol.
lowing. He said yesterday that he is
fully appreciative of the kind indorse-
ments he has received in different coun-
ties in the state, and has hopes of his cleo
tion. If elected, he says, he expects to
look out for the entire state, but he will
always have an eye to the welfare of

his head, and he at once moved

SHUTS OUT LIGHT AND AIR.
Chas. Jemdal Brings Suit on Account
of the Bridge Through the Market.

/ Chas. Jemdal Brings Suit on Account
of the Bridge Through the Market.
/ Charles Jemdal, proprietor of a restau-
rant in the northwest corner of the base
ment Of the city market, through Messrs.
Garrard, Meldrim q Newman, filed suit
in the city court yesterday for
-, 900 damages against the Elec-
trio Railway Company, the Sa-
vannah Real Estate, Loan and
Building Company ana the mayor and
aldermen OF the city of Savannah, 10
which extent he claims to have suffered
on account of the building of the Elec-
trio railway bridge through the city
market.
He says in his petition that he has been
the proprietor of restaurant In this sec
tiOn of the market for more than sixteen
years, and that he is the owner Of its use
for a certain term of years, which has not
yet expired. The stand, he says, was a
valuable one and he had at one time a lu-
craJive restaurant trade There was an
open space left in the market when it was
constructed for the purpose of giving
light, ventilation and air to the basement.
He holds that the bridge constructed
through the market has cut out the use
Of the stone steps on the west side which
led right down TO the door of his restau-
rant, tina: it has destroyed the service of
this open space for light, air and ventila-
ton, and that it has consequently di-
verified much of the custom and trade he
used 10 receive to other quar-
tiers. In this way he claims
TO have been damaged to the extent of
$1,000.
He holds the Savannah Real Estate,
Loan and Building Company responsible,
as it was instrumental in constructing
the Electric railway to enhance the
value of some lands it owned in the
southern part of the city:
the Electric Railway Company
because il built the bridge, and the mayor
and aldermen because they gave the COM
pany permission to build the bridge The
suit IS rather novel one, and the out
come will no doubt be watched with in
terest

The South Georgia Companies the
Cynosure of all Eyes.

CynoSure OF all Eyes.
Griffin, Ga, June 12.-J. W. Mcdonald,
of the brownsville Guards, was junior
orderly to-day. while the Brunswick
Rifles furnished the senior orderly There
were but few visitors at the camp to-day,
and the boys were only required to attend
to routine duties.
On dress parade the Fourth Georgia
regiment made brilliant show, and was
the cynosure of all eyes. The Thomsa-
vile Guards were especially attractive.
The Albany Guards were close second
for the honors of the evening, while the
Yaldosta Videttes didn't relinquish for a
moment their prestige as one of the best
drilled companies in camp.
The Brunswick Rifiemen, under the
command of Lieut. Robinson, give every
one pleasure by reason of their stout drill
and the appearance of each one of the
company
Nothing especial has occurred, for the
routine of the day has been the same as
the men usually so through with. They
are never lacking in praise Of their supe-
rior officers. Especially is Lieut.. Sat
terlee the idol of the camp. for he has
brought Georgia's military up to a point
that is not equaled by any southern state,
and he very graciously says that it could
not have been done if he had not had the
material TO work on.
