wAErmaToN, Aug. 27.-Ths galleries
were crowded with visiting knights Of
Pyihias and their families when tho house
me, to-day. but lsss than City members
were present. Holman aakel unanimous
consent for the confederation OF the bill 10
pay J. O. Cobb 4 Co., of Aurora. Ind, $5-
600 for baraes taken By the government
during the war. II was bis nrst request Of
the kind In years. but was refused. Rloh-
arlson offered a resolution 10 print the
tariff bill with comparisons OF The rates
between the bill As II becomes Law. and as
IL passed tha house. hnd ths MoKinioy bill.
Wilson pointed out the difficulty OF maxi
ing specific figures as 10 al valorem duties.
and said the comparison would be mii-
leading. He claimed the senate bill would
increase the bass Of taxation S63. .000. 900
over the McKinlsy Law. aud he wanted
this TO appear In the comparison.
Mr.. Wilson thought the comparison should
not be simply q comparison Of rates Of tax
alton. but Of the basls Of taxation. Under
the Mckinley Law, he said. taking she
reports for 1898. duties averaging 4s Per
cent we're levied on $500 600 600 OF dutiabls
imports. under tho house bill the duties
would have been 30 psr cent on f3l0. 900. 600
dutisbls imports. the rest being free; under
the senate bill the rate would be 3s per
cen, on stGs. 900. 600 Of imported goods.
McMillin called attention 70 the fact that
$50 600, 900 of this inoroAss would be due 70
the tsx on sugar. The point OF no quorum
wss raised. and while waiting for q quorum
TO appear the death Of Congressman shaw.
Of Wisconsin. Was announced. A commit
tse was appointed TO attend ths funeral
and the house adjourned.
The scarcity OF senhtos to-day was more
than compensated for By immense crowds
in the galleries. many Of whom were visit
Ing Knights OF PJtbiaa. Not over seven
teen senators were present at any tiue. On
motion Of Cookrell the senate ptocssdsd 70

MARS AT CLOSE RANGE.
A Harvard Expedition to Start For Ari-
 zOna With a Big, Big Telescope.


 CAAIBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 13--It is an- nounced that on March the Harvard col lege observatory will start an expedition to Arizona to locate q new observatory station. Such a station has been the plan of Professor Edward C. Pickering for years, but it has never before had the necessary financial bAcliug. Mir. Percival Lowell of Boston has just donated d large fund for this purpose. and Mir. Lowell will go as q member of the party.
 Mr A. E. Douglass. now the regular as sistant in the Cambridge observatory, will leave before the other mem bcrs of the eX- petition in order to make experiments. He will first stop ut Prescott, then at phCe- nix. Mir. William Ii. Pickering, who led the Harvard expedition into Peru, will manage this work
 The station in Arizona will be for visual investigation, as the Harvard station in AreQuipa Peru, is for photographic work. This will give the Cambridge observatory two of the best locations in the world. The great Bruce photographic telescope, now being tested, will be shipped to Peru. It will be the largest of it's kind in use.
 Professor Edward C.. Pickering, director of the Harvard observatory, said: My spe- cial reason for hurryin@ this expedition off at once is in order that station may be selected in time to observe the opp0si- tiOn of Mars next summer. We will pay special attention to the canals on the sur face of Mars, and it is expected that they will be seen double this year. This eXpcdi- tion will return to Cambridge about Jan. | 1Sg5 ''

BUFFALO, Feb. 13.- Buffalo is practically without a water supply. The mighty northeast wind which is blowing forces the water in Niagara river below the intakes at the pumping station, and there is but little water in the Dodge street reservoir. In hotels and private houses no water can be obtained above the first story, and but little there.
 The water has been blown completely out of the Hamburg canal, and there is but a foot or so left in the Erie canal Slush and ice are filling the engine wells at the pumping station, and if the wind does not abate the gravest consequences are feared. This is the first time in 20 years that the tops of the intakes at the pumping station have been above water Should big fire occur the firemen would be powerless. The streets are badly drifted Street car traffic is impeded somewhat. Trains from both east and west are late No casualties have been reported. Dis patches from Lockport and Attica show the same condition there.
