Chicago Special to Phila. Press.

Alexander J. Jones, ere of Cook county's
representatives, has introduced bill in the
Illinois legislature en- the subject of hats.
He is opposed to the wearing of large hats
in theaters and he is going to regulate it
by law. The bill makes it a misdameanor
for any person occupying a seat in any
place of amusement to cbstruct the vision
Of any other patron by the wearing OF any
hat, bonnet or other unsightly head cover
ing after having been notified to remove
the same. 1t requires the authorities of
such places of amusement to secure the
observance of the order, and they have
power to remove any person who violates
the provisions of the act. People who per-
sist in wearing their hats after receiving
due notification will be fined so, as will
also managers of theaters, etc, who neglect
to enforce the law.

THE WEEK.

The nations financial and currency sys-
tens have been the prevailing topic in both
houses of Congress during the week. The
attack by Representative Breckenridge on
Representative Heard yesterday during a
dispute over the formers attempt to take
the floor, which the latter prevented, was
the sensation in the House Mr.. Gormans
speech, in which he pointed out the gravity
OF the financial conditions of the treasury,
was the sensation in the Senate. The Sen
ate at once passed three important resolu-
tions calling Secretary Carlisle for in
formation concerning every detail bearing
on revenues, reserves, deficiencies, etc.
Special order was Invoked in the House of
Representatives to bring the bill to repeal

Reilly bill to fund the debt due the gov

ffty-year bonds. Senator PETER introduced
Il joint resolution fer 4 special popular
election to ascertain the will of the people

gance Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Platt and other
republican Senators asserted that the ap-
preparations for this Cons gresS would reach
million in excess of the billion appropri-
ated by the Fifty-first Congress. The Sen
ate committee on foreign relations decided
to report a bill for the reorganization of
the consular service; the bill will extend
civil service rules to this service. Con-
gressman Wilson was elected Senator from
Washington. The deadlockS in Delaware,

Foreign.

The event abroad was the recent hor-
rifying marine disaster. The North Ger
man-Lloyd steamer Elbe from Bremen for
New York via Southampton was sunk in
collision with the British steamer Crathie,
bound from Rotterdam for Aberdeen. The
disaster occurred in the North sea about
thirty miles off the Hook of Holland. 1t
is estimated that 33f lives were lost. The
Japanese have captured Wei-Ha.-Wei. an
other of the Chinese strOngholdS. An eX-

The grant was made, however, the vote
