THEY WANT TO Be LIBERAL
Some Congressman Promise the
District All 1t Wants.
Don't Tell Where the Money
Is to Come From.

Enough members Of Congress have ar
rived to form an idea as to the drift OF
opinion concerning the coming session.
There is a total absence of that severe
economy that marked last winters ses-
sion, and So far as appropriations 90 the
closing of the Fifty-fourth Congress will
mark "A liberal epoch. No general legisla-
ton of Importance is expected.
Last night and today Senators and Rep
resentativcs arrived in Considerable mum
bers. Chairman Babcock, OF the Commit
tee on the District OF Columbia. came from
Canton, as announced in yesterdays Times.
He prophescd that no general legislation
would he accomplished, and that a special
session would be called in April. To a
Times representative he said, concerning
District matters:
There is no parsimonious or extra eco
nomical spirit prevailing this session and
the District viii be treated literally. \
meeting of the committee will he called
soon"
Judge 10. Abbott of Texas. who has re-
covered from the Injuries he rece ived
shooting the chute" last season, is At
the Metropolitan, where he arrived last
night. AS a member OF the House District
OF Columbia Committee he stated to a
Times representative that the Commission
ers this year can secure about what they
want. IL will not be a cheese-paring ses-
sion, As 10 the Dingley bin, j Judge A bbu.t
does not believe il will pass. and he does
not think there Will De any general legisla-
ton. As to the policy of the Democrats
Juge Abbott said:
The Democrats will express their views
and cast their votes but there viii he no
dilatury tactics. The country : poor and
times are hard. We do not expect prosper
ity by Mr.. McKinley's methods, but We
wish he may succeed in restoring pros
peHty. We are not mere partisans. We
do not wish McKinleys administration to
fail in relieving the country, in order to
reap partisan advantages. We want the
interests of the country promoted by what
ever agency. That, | believe, is the tone
of the Democratic IneTnbershipin Congress
I'VE will do all we can To help rectify
the present wretched condition of affairs.
In Texas cotton is our chief staple and
the prices are rtiuous, with tendency still
downward. The people are distressed and

Senator Hansbrough, when seen. said that
he was detained from attending the meet

by pressing business, but that as whole,
he approves Of its proceedings and has the
fullest confidence IN its other members.

COAL FIGURES UNCERTAIN
Gold Snap Did Not Rush the Price
Up.
But the Trust Has No Heart, and
Warmth May Cost More in the
Near Future.

The coal market is fairly settled and
has been for several months past. There
is no prospect OF decided change in
wholesale prices, and the retail market,
which has been constant for two months
past, VIII probably not change unless u
long, severe spell Of cold weather makes
too big a hole i'll the stock of the local
Dealers
This was the summing up of the situation

There is no comparison to be drawn he
tween the ccal trlSt and tine sugar trust,
and some OF the other trusts which control
the market for certain staples. All the

of the mines, and this is quite enough for
their purpose

altogether. There is meeting about
once a month that nominally considers
the state OF the market for the purpose of
fixing the price. In reality. the matter
is all cut and dried before hand.
TIE market has been steady for three or
four months, hut the trust would have no
scruples against moving it UP as much as
II could without arOus!ng decided opposi-
ton from the public. Popular Indignation
leading TO legislation against the combine
is all they fear and all they care for.
The stock of coal in the local yards is
rather low said another local dealer
This weather Is - Cd FOR the business,
and VIII make an increased demand A
long run of severe weather might affect
the local market ser ously. 1t is hard to
get orders filled pT omptly. especially in the
midst of cold snap Then it is that the
effect Of the restricted output is felt the
most, and 1t is abb olutely Impossible to
get an order handled without great delay
LAS | say, there seems no prospect of
any decided changes in The wholesale mar
ket. but you can never tell when it Will

The Age of Niagara,

How old are the Niagara Falls?'' is a
fascinating question, to which geologist.
have given replies varying by tens oi
thousands of years. At first it was esti
mated that the Niagara River came into
existence. through changes in the Level
of the land around the Great Lakes about
$4,000 years ago. Later this was re.
duced to only 10000 years. The cele
brated Eeologist, Sir Charles Lyell, in
creased the estimate again to $4,000
years. The latest estimate is that of
DR.. j. w. Spencer. who basing his con
clusiOns on the most recent Investigations
places the age of the river at $4,000 years,
and that OF the cataract at II 900 years
At one period, many thousand years ago
the height of the falls was four hundre,l
and twenty feet.-Youth' s Companion.

D|NGLEY MEASURE LOADED
Fears Openly Expressed That 1t
Is an Internal Machine.
FEAR POLITICAL DYNAMITE
Many Congressman Afraid to Touch
1t Because II Is Backed by Sher-
man and Quay-They Are Engi-
neeriug Some BOLD, Bad Scheme
Through.

Last wirtcr the DineIry biz was n imn-
Gent revenue raiser. Now it is an Internal
machine.
Half the Congressman arriving in the
city claim il is loaded. Some suspect it is
charged with dynamite and others have
msuufac' urcd an explosive from wool that
knocks =un cotton silly. That is the reas-
Oil 50 many Cungrcssmcn fear to handle
II at the short session.
II seems impossible to remove the idea
from many minds that there Is some sin
tstcr motive in advocating immediate ac-
ton 10y Congress 10 rciicNt tn" Treasury
NJ onc can gust tell what is concealed in
the wugIpiIc but the alarmiStS are sure
they have caught a glimpse OF something
that sh"ald not be there.
BOLD, RAD SCHEMES
For instance. il is declared by the Op-
poucul> Of the measure that the wooden
nianufaCi urer> of TIE East and the owners
OF iruI and other industries of Pennsyl-
vauia are selfish in their advocacy Of the
measure. Senator Quay is cunccaling some
bold, bal scheme, andis urging the passage
Of the measure to further this. They can
see, too, that Senator Sherman is about
TO enter into a conspiracy, alongside of
which the crime of '73" sinks into utter
and total insignificance.
IheSt are Int puBHC men who cannot
see how the subjects of revenue and pro-
lection can be separated, when the revenue
sought l. to be obtained by the increase Of
protection duties. They fear. too that if
this measure should be passed. nothing
can be done toward a revision of the tariff
At tine extra session.
The fact That Democratic Senators are
willing ic pass the DingIey bill makes
these alarTniStS fear that the revision uf the
tariff cannot be made. The oppoSiiion
TO the revision of the tariff will be Just as
strong i'll the Fifty-fifth Congress as in
this, and aS the Republicans have not a ma
Jon'y, they may still be LEFT in the Iurch.
The need of the hour is more revenue
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, a stIl-
cessful business man, appre ciated this
when he said TO Times representative

them. He was getting ON nicely with his
calculation when some one tapped him on
the shoulder.

"are you counting those pige ons?''
Il was" said the baron, huInbly.
do you know it is against the law Of
the country?''
Il was not aware of it, good SIR
Very well; you have to pay me ons
lire for every pigeon you countednN
IF that is the law here are forty lire"
responded the baron, counting out the
money.
The brigand looked over it carefully and
took his departure Then the baron be-
came convulsed with merriment and shook
his fists boisterously after the retreating
figure.

Canadian Boat Won Through Blum
ders of the Yankee Craft.

TOLEDO, o.. Aug. 26.-The Canadian
yacht Canada defeated the challenger,
Vencedor. to-day and won the international
race. The defender won by 70 seconds
time allowance after as pretty contest as
was ever sailed on AXE Erie. 1t was a
hard race for the Yankee yacht to lose. for
she had the race well won. but lost i'm a
most unfortunate way. The course was
five miles straight away to eeward and
return and repeat. on the second turn
Captain Barber could not distinguish the
stake boat. There were three boats in the
line flying the American flag and there was
nothing to indicate which of these was the
real boat. Nencedor was headed properly
for the right boat, but as she neared II
her captain seemed p~erpleXed and unde-
cided what TO do. Finally he pulled away
for the furthermost one and rounded them
all. His error cost him the race. for
ne lost fully two minutes hunting for the
right boat. Had he turned the boat prop
about one and n half minutes instead of
losing IL by a little less than q half minute.
The friends of the American boat felt the
unfortunate accident keenly. How two
small boats with flags came TO be so near
the stake boat no one seemed able to ex-
plain. Nencedor outsailed her rival on each
of the four legs. The wind blew from
twenty TO thirty miles an hour during the
race. the seas ran high and there was a
Iittis rain. Both boats stood up well in
the breeze and when it was all over every
che agreed that Nencedor had done the
best work and only lost because of the UNI
forturate circumstances of going around
los moe keeuly felt is the fact that the
Judges boat was not near the stake boat
Vhtu NCsCfCcr was reody TO go round
Had the Judges loat beel. near the stake
Nencedo- ard she would have turned
properly
