FIFTY.THIRD CONGRESS
Will Meet Friday Morning - Tariff and
Hawaii Come First,

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 31.-Congress
will reconvene Wednesday. 1t is not
probable that the senate will really get
down to close business application
during the week, and some of the most
experienced observers of the course of
the senate under circumstances
similar to those which will sur.
round that body when it recon.
venes, freely predict there will
not be quorum present any part of
the week and therefore no important
business will be undertaken until Mon.
day, thelSth. Senators generally feel
that there is little they can do in the
way of promoting legislation until the
house shall act upon some of the
measures before it. The senate calen-
dar contains l40reported measures but
there are less that half a dozen of
those that will require any great
amount of time for consideration.
The most important bill on the cal
endar is the federal elections bill and
it is possible it may be taken up dur
ing the week. The program in the
house for the coming week is not def
nitely arranged, but it is probable the
tariff and Hawaiian questions both
figure. The tariff debate will begin
as soon as the house reconvenes
Wednesday. Democratic members of
the ways and means committee have
not yet decided upon the limits which
will be set upon the debate, but the
leaders seem to believe it ought not to
run more than two weeks, four days
for general debate and ten days for
debate under ths 5 minute rule.
Whether Wilson, who is open to de-
bate, can speak Wednesday will de.
en- d on whether the Republicans in
ist upon full reading of the bill be-
fore debate begins. Inasmuch as q
formal reading of this bill was dis
pensed with when the Mckinley bill
was considered the Democrats do not
believe objection for dispensing with
the reading Of the Wilson bill will be
interposed by the Republicans.
At the very outset of the tariff de
bate, however, it will be antagonized
by the Republicans, who will come
forward on the Hawaiian matter.
Boutelle (Me.) has served notice
that as soon as congress reconvened
he would call up the resolution he in
troduced and which he maintained
was of privileged character. The
question as to its privileged nature
was held in allegiance by the speaker
to be decided upon as 1T formally came
before the house. In order to prevent
embarrassment on this point it is prac-
tically decided by the Democratic
leaders to allow the Hawaiian matter
to be brought up in the shape of the
McCreary substitute for the Hit reso :
luton Friday and give that day and
next Saturday for consideration.

BRAZIL.
CONDITIONS UNCHANGED

PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 31.-The new
Brazilian cruiser America is reported
off this port and it is said that as soon
as she is ready to put to sea again
both the Nictheroy and the America
will sail southwark. During the last
few days the Nictheroy is said to have
completed her crew and made all other
arrangements necessary to sail for
another port in Brazil with the
America, and upon arrival at her next
place OF call rumor has it the two
cruisers fitted out in New York will be
reinforced by other vessels belonging
to the government of PeixGto and his
fleet will then sail for Rio, and upon
their arrival there the ships and forts
will make combined attack upon the
insurgent vessels and endeavor to end
the rebellion.
OF course the usual rumors in circu-
lation, reports of which have gained cir
culation here, are to the effect that
PeiXoto has succeeded in calling in
more ships in an out of the way port
and that the Nictheroy and America
are to join these vessels
Only 40 men, instead of so as at first
reported, sailed for England with
Lieutenant John Conway, formerly of
the America. Some of the men who
left the NicUheroy are still in town,
Others have started for various points,
some being already on their way to
New York on board the Herschel,
though it is understood they must
have slowed away in order to do so.

tack upon the Cabolissurch at Kroch
d'Verment of Keveno last Monday.
This account of the massacre fully
confirms the report originally sent out
which was afterword officially denied.
The correspondent OF the Zeirung adds
that the Cossacks were guilty of in
credible barbarity and cruelty. Wom-
en- as well as men were included among
their victims, aud their dead and mu-

pit near the church, Cossacks after
this sacrilige were allowed to plunder
the village.

BRAZILIAN RNYoLUTIoN.

News from Brazil is looked for with
some anxiety both at the state aud
navy departments. There is feeling
that crisis is imminent in the iDsur-
rection and that the quarrel will be
settled in o. way or anoJher within u
few days. There is a well defined
opinion among navy department Off
cials that Melo is near the end of his
resources and unless he succeeds in
accomplishing some vigorous stroke
he must soon succumb.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Senator Allison in a brief conversa-
ton today said there was little or no
doubt that the senate committee on
finance, of which the senator is a
prominent member. would grant hear
ings to the interests affected by the

the senate. The opinion is gaining
ground steadily that the senate will be
deliberate in its treatment of the bill.

The Real David Crockett.

Mrs. Ibbie Gordon of GAINESVILLE,
Tex, vino was born in 1905, was once
introduced to David Crockett. Describ-
ing the incident, she says: 1T was in
the winter of 1884, not long after
Crockett had been defeated for congress
in Tennessee. We heard that Crockett
had crossed Red river, and fearing that
he might not come through GAINESVILLE,
but keep on the old Trammell trail, we
intended to meet him. Jane Latimer,
then girl of IS, rode behind me, and
Betsy Latimer followed on pony. We
overlook Crockett and his party at the
house of Edward Deem, about four miles
from Clarksville. 1t was early in the
morning, and when Mrs. Deem saw us
she said, Mrs. Clark, what in the name
of God brings you here at this time of
the day. My horse brought me-, l
answered, and then l told her l wanted
some breakfast. We went into the
house, and a friend, who had known
Crockett in Tennessee, introduced us.
Crockett was dressed like a gentleman
and not as backwoOdsman. He did
not wear coonskin cap. 1t has always
disguised me to read these accounts of
Crockett that characterize him as an
ignorant backwoodsman. Neither in
dress, conversation nor bearing could
he have created the impression that he
was ignorant or uncOuth. He was a
man of wide practical information and
was dignitied and entertaining. His
language was about as good as any we
hear nowadays. "-Galveston News.

Making billiard Cushions.

The making of billiard cushions is an
important industry, but is carried on
by two or three firms alone, and while
the story of the difficulty which has
been overcome in preventing the ball
from sinking into the rubber and thus
destroying the angle desired to be taken
Is an interesting one it has been told
before and will not be repeated now.
In the early days of the industry the
manufacturer employed valve rubber
and obtained much better price for it
when it was worked up into the cush-
ion.
Then the cushion maker set his wits
to work to get the valve rubber cheap
ly, but in those days it was strongly
held, and none was allowed to pass to
that industry unless it paid the en-
HANGED royalty. Finally the combina-
tion was broken by firm in Pittsburg
ordering the valve rubber ostensibly for
ordinary use, but shipping it back to
New York for the intended purpose.
So skillfully and patiently was this
done that a great quantity was accumu-
lated, and the valve rubber man threw
up the sponge. Now billiard cushions
are made of nodded rubber, an evolu-
ton which came along later.--Hard-
ware.

An Explanations Fru::, Disrucli.

Mr.. Justin Mccarthy. discoursinS on
the house of commons, related Il capital
story of Disraei. 1t was during the
Russo Turkish war. and while relations
were very strained between England
and the czar Il member was indiscreet
enough to put a question to Dlsraell,
who was then prime minister, as to the
policy of the government i'll the event of
the emperor of Russia doing Il certain
act.
Members snuddcrcd as Disraeli, with
most funereal face, slowly advanced to
the table. The question, he declared,
in a slow, measured voice, WAS one OF
such perilous moment that the honor
able member acted most mWiSely in
putting it on the paper, yet it was Il
question Of such Importance that the
only course now open to the government
was to accept the inevitable and bold
ly answer. "If' declared Disraei,
1.-The emperor takes this step, all | can
say is-and | am speaking after pro
longed consultation with my colleagues

policy they arc II pursue their very best

dispute while l was yet quarter of a
mile away, and as | halted before them il
was easy to see that both were stirred up
about something. They greeted me very
pleasantly, however, and it was some time
later before the old man said
stranger, this ar my son Abe. He's
bin a-readin books and things, and he's
finally got so crackety smart that he thinks
he is bigger man than his father"
''It's this way" explained the son.
"While the earth moves around the sun,
the moon moves around the earth. I've
read it and had educated men tell me so,
but father won't believe it"
''No, he won'tr' growled the old man.
1--WE lived on this yere airth nigh upon co
Vars, and if the sun and the moon don t
move the same way then l kin lick the crit
ter who disputes mel"
''Well, I'll leave it to the stranger, " said
Abe, who seemed to be an unusually
bright young man.
''This hahn none o. his fuss" retorted
the father. ''IIe might side with yo, and
he might side with me, and neither of us
would give up. Abe, yo' are agettin too
powerful peart fur this yere region"
''Mebbe so - quietly replied Abe.
"Jest too powerful peart, and I'm goin
to put stop to it! EO've grOwcd up to

cautioned Abe as he stood up and spat on
his hands.
"Got to do it, Abe, and if yo' kin put
me down dom mind the hardness of it!

The old man jumped in without any
preliminary fooling, and l don't think it
was over l6 seconds before he had Abe
standing on his head in the road and was

The fact is we'll known that mix
ture of tungsten with steel imparts to
the latter SO great a degree of hardness
that it readily scratches glass and
quartz. Recent Investigations have
thrown light upon this somewhat re-
markable phenomenon-that is, def
initcly crystalliZod compound of iron
and tungsten is announced as having
lately been discovered, the crystals be-
ing so hard as to be capable of scratch
ing topaz. Tungsten is a brittle white
metal, almost as heavy as gold, and the
crystals formed by its combination with
iron, in the proportion of one atom of
iron to two of tungsten, are silver gray
and very brilliant. The conclusion ar
rived at by experts in this line is that.
on tungsten being slloyed with steel,
some of the compound just described is
formed in the mass, thereby producing
the remarkable increase in the hardness
of steel and adding to its usefulness. -

Artificial Fabrication of Water.

A notable example is furnished by the
health, in its treatment of water by ar
tificial publication, the present system
being, as stated, the result of extensive
experiments for 3 years past. 1t seems
that the attempt was first made to es-
tablish a plan of natural filtration by
digging deep wells near the river and
lakes from which water was obtained,
and allowing the water to drain through
the soil from the source of supply to the
wells, from which it was then pumped
to the city reservoirs, but this plan was
abandoned on the fact being demon
strated that the water thus supplied re-
manned impure. Artificial filtration
was consequently substituted, the water
being filtered through sand, large
number of filter basins meeting this re-
quirement. They are covered by roofs
of stone, earth and sod, in order to pre-
vent atmospheric contamination and the
formation of ice in cold weather as
we'll as to facilitate the frequent re-
movals of those impurities which gath
er upon the surface of the sand. The
careful examinations of the water con-
stantly made by official experts show
that, while there is small reduction in
the quantity of organic matter in the
filtered water, the important fact also
appears that there is a retention of solid
impurities and of a large percentage of
bacteria. New York Tribune

to either give me year to pay it in or let
