Sentiment in Congress Not Favorable to
the Presidents Suggestions.
New York, January 1S.-The Sun
Washington correspondent telegraphs
the following: An inquiry among Sena-
tors and Representatives fails to develop
a sentiment in either House favorine
the legislation recommended by thu
President in his recent message to amend
the Hawaiian treaty SO that the consent
of this government can be secured fol-
the construction OF cable under Eng
lish auspices from Vancouver to Aus
tralia via Honolulu. The Presidents
recommendation has not only brought
to the surface all the opposition to q
British cable, but has stirred up the
friends of the American project who
have not been active during the present
Congress. Already several members
have in preparation bills authorizing the
laying of Hawaiian cable under the
patronage of the United States. One OF
the members of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs, who does not wish to
be quoted because he may be called upon
to vote in the committee, in explaining
why there could be no legislation as rec
commended by the President said to-
day:
1.-THE request on behalf of Great Brit
ain is made in order that it may secure
military cable in the Pacific Ocean, as
it has one in the Atlantic Ocean and
everywhere else. If this cable should
be landed in Hawaii with the consent oil
the United States, it would be found
that, if an emergency should arise, the
United States could not send single
order for the movement of any of Its
warships over it. Great Britain seeks
with this cable to strengthen its military
arms. The permission which is sought
for in this message OF President Cleve.

WASHINGTON, January l6.-The entire
Louisiana delegation in Congress an
peared before the House Appropriation
Committee to-day to urge that some pro-
visions be made for the relief of imme-
date losses suffered by the sugar pro-
ducers and planters OF that State, caused
by the repeal bill of the bounty provided
Tor in the Mckinley tariff bill. They
claimed the difference between bounty
and duty should be paid to the producers,
as fully half OF it was earned before the
late tariff bill became law. About sc, :
0Oo,OO0, it is estimated, will be required
10 make payment on production up to
the time the new tariff went into effect.

FOR A CENTRAL BODY.
Reform Organizations of San Francisco
to Unite.


to Unite.
SAN Francisco, January 16.-The re-
form bodies of the city have almost COM
pleted their arrangements for the or
SANITATION of a central body Friday
aft ,rnoon. The committees of the Munic-
ipal League and the Civic Federation
will tomorrow night draw up plan
and constitution for the central body.
The committees of the two mass meet
ings to-day organized, and will be rep
resented at Fridays meeting. The plan
of organiz~ ton is to have central body,
which will act as o clearinghouse. All
matters will be referred to it, and after
consideration they will be referred to
the body best calculated to handle them.
1t is the intention to make this arrange
ment permanent. After municipal BUSH
ness shall have been attended to the
body will continue to work for the adj
vancement of the organizations repre-
scented in it, At present there are two
central bodes-the Municipal League
and the Civic Federation. The name
for the new body will be decided upon
next Friday. A letter inclosing the res
olutions adopted Tuesday night was
written to Congressman Mcguire at
Washington. He is requested to urge
upon both the President and Congress
the stern necessity OF action in the mat
ter. The committee says that unless
the Court Commissioners and District
Attorney do their duty the people will
resort to stronger methods than resolu-
tions or appeals.
The committee appointed at the mass
meeting Tuesday night to request Police
Commissioner Gunst to resign performed
its delicate task to-day, and met with a
chilly reception. Mr.. Gunst refused to
recognize them until they had presented
their authority in writing. He was in
formed that letter which had been
hand him was authority, and, if he
would read it, the committee awaited
his pleasure. Mr. Gunst refused to read
the paper, and said:
I" l consider it piece of imposition
and an insult. have no reply to

THE HOME SALOON.
It is to be Provided With Beer That
Cheers, But Does Not Inebriate.

Cheers, But Does Not Inebriate.
CHICAGO, January lin carrying
out his plan for establishing "home sa-
looms" Bishop Fallows has felt COM
PEELED to find some substitute for beer.
That some public resort must be sup
piled where refreshing drinks are dis
pensed amid the same brilliant surround
ings as are afforded in saloons is the firm
belief of the Bishop. Upon this basis
Bishop Fallows has worked. The whisky
and brandy trade might be supplied with
soda, chocolate, coffee and the like; but
the beer-drinking constituents could not
be so readily satisfied. Expert chemists
were put to work upon the problem, and
after many trials the substitute was
found. Its analysis is a mystery, but
the Bishop asserts that it is a hea1thful
and refreshing beverage, although nom
alcoholic and Notwithstanding. The new
beer, it is believed, will meet with the
greatest demand from the grogshop COM
munities. There the new "home sa-
loon will be fitted up in the usual fash
ion and supplied with the regulation
free lunch, differing only in that it will
be more bountiful and wholesome. The
higher class OF trade in the downtown dis
trict will also be supplied with saloon
well equipped with the usual profusion
of plate glass and cherry furniture.
Bishop Fallows believes the enterprise
will not only be benefit to the thirsty,
but also profitable investment.

ment staring him in the face for con-

age suit of Mary Cahill vs.. the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad, which
began January Z. Miss Cahill was Sc
riously injured at the Eighty-second-
street crossing by switch engine owned

neer admitted the facts as stated. The
attorney representing the road made a
motion, after the evidence was in, that
a non. suit be entered on the ground that
there was no responsibility attached to
the road, as the action OF the switch en-
CINE crew was not wanton or willful,
and that the plaintiff was a trespasser.
The jury was requested to retire, and
the motion was argued. Judge Seaman
