a remarkable bronze statue of Posei-
don, nearly life size and attributed to
the sixth century, has just been discov-
cred by a fisherman in the sea near
Mount Citharm On being taken out Of
the water the booy Of it was found to
have suffered a good deal from rust, but
the head and beard are intact, and the
hands only are missing. a magnificent
marble pedestal was also discovered,
fearing an inscription showing it TO
have stood in the temple Of Neptune.
The statue has been placed in the mu-
Scum here and has caused much interest
among archHologists. who are inclined

VIEWS OF CONGRESSMEN
NELSON DINGLEY AND OTHERS ON
THE LEGISLATIVE OUTLOOK.
Senate Is a Stumbling Block to Prac-
tical Financial RefOrms-Annex-
alton of Hawaii Probable.

LEWISTON, Me-, Dec. 2-The Journal
this afternoon prints an interview with
Congressman Nelson Dingley, who left for
washington to-day. Mr.. Dingley said: 'In-
asmuch as this will be the first regular
session of the Fifty-fifth Congress and
therefore the session unlimited in length by
the Constitution and laws, it is difficult
to forecast the duration. The business of
the approaching session will be expedited
by the fact that the House as well as the
Senate is already organized and the COM
m.1t>s appointed, but the Senate has no
means of limiting debate so that il is al
ways in the power of very few senators
to greatly extend the sitting. see no rea-
son now, however, to believe that this ses-
sion will continue later than June.
Probably bankruptcy legislation will be
the first to come up after such appropria-
ton bills as may be ready. The voluntary
bankruptcy bill passed by the Senate dur
ing the extra session may be ready to re-
port it back before the Christmas recess.
The House will probably pass a substitute
on the lines Of the Torrey bill, as it did
two years ago, and then the two bills will
go to conference. Probably the conference
committees of the Senate and House will
agre on a compromise measure which will
become law
IF the Senate were Republican and in
harmony with the majority of the House on
monetary questions 1 should look for cur
rency legislation, but with a free-silver
majority in the Senate antagonistIc to the
ideas of the majority OF the House as to
what constitutes a sound currency system
1 do not see how it is possible to secure de-
sirable currency legislation OF an important
character until the Senate is brought to
harmony with the House. Possibly some
desirable amendments of the national bank
ing law might be passed by the Senate. The
House joint resolution for a joint COM
mite to consider and report on needed cur
rency legislation passed at the extra ses-
sion is still in the hands of the finance
committe of the Senate and may be re-
ported back and considered by the Senate
soon as Congress reassembles.
While l should be pleased to see legisla-
ton which would remedy the want of fiex-
ibility of our banking system and would
separate those functions OF the Treasury
Department which relate to the govern
ment demand notes and certificates used as
currency from those which relate to current
receipts and expenditures and thus better
protect the reserve, yet, / believe that Ii is
sufficient for all immediate purposes TO
know that the administration has the pow
err and is determined to defend the present
monetary standard. Indeed. with SUN cient

Conference at Which Quarantine Reg

kentucky Tennessee, Arkansas, Wisconsin,
Kansas and Oklahoma for the purpose of
fixing the quarantine lines for 1898 so as to
protect all Northern territory without in
hicting any unnecessary hardships on
Southern States. One hundred breeders
and live stock dealers from the States
named were present when the meet
ing was called to order. A letter from Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson regre tting his
inability to attend was read, and the re-
quest that d full report of the meeting be
forwarded to Washington. The session was
occupied in selecting committees. The meet
ing Will probably last two days 1t is the
first gathering looking to the organization
OF national commission to act with the
government in protecting the health of live
stock in the North.
The conference, before adjourning to-
night, recommended to the Department of
Agriculture, that nine additional counties in
Tennessee, six in Missouri and all of Ar
kansas be placed below the Southern fever
quarantine line, the line of 1886 through the
Indian Territory and Texas to remain un-
disturbed. 1t also adopted a resolution sug-
geStlng change in the shortening of the

Anderson, statistician for the Union Stock
Yards and Transit Company, of Chicago
SAID that the changes would work no hard
ship on the business system of the cattle
or commerce. Any radical change in the
line west OF the State of Arkansas would
dlsarrange the carrying trade of the entire
southwest and cause irreparable loss to all
concerned.

NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS.
Delegates Welcomed to Texas by Gov.
CulbersOn-The Presidents Address.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 2.-The National
Prison Congress of the United States was
convened In this city tonight in a four
days session. Governor Culberson on the
part Of the State, and Mayor Hancock, on
the part of the city. welcomed the visitors
and President Roeliff Brinkerhoff, of Mans
field o., delivered his annual address.
thanking the citizens of the city of Austin
for entertaining them and reviewing the
prison association since its incipience. He
took occasion TO say that, through the in
etrumentaiity OF the members of the con-
gress. much needed reform had been Sc
cured in prison affairs and that the future
OF the organization was certainly bright
and promising He stated that while there
had been only three presidents during the
existence of the association. that now mat
terS were being so arranged that no presi-
dent was eligible TO reelection, and hence
there would be q change in that office each
year. He demonstrated that the prison re-
form movement was becoming prevalent in
every section of the country and urged
especially that X should be carried into the
county jails, which are overlooked to a
great extent at present.
The regular business session of the con-
gress opens up tomorrow morning There
are now about two hundred delegates from
Northern, Eastern and Western States in
attendance. Tha largest delegation is from
Ohio, numbering about forty.

Hawaiian Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Senator Stewart,
of Nevada, who arrived in Washington to-
day, says the people of the Pacific coast
generally favor the ratification of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty. He expressed
the opinion that the treaty would not con-
sumo a great deal of time in the Senate.
He said that so far as he knew Senator
White, of California, was the only Pacific
coast senator pronouncedly against the
treaty.
Senator Gray. who is a member of the
committee on foreign relations, said in re-
ply to a question that he thought there
would be considerable delay in disposing of
the treaty as many questions are involved
which would require careful consideration
and lead to considerable debate.
The treaty occupies first place on the
Senate's executive calendar. Senators gem
orally agree that there are no questions in
connection with the treaty that could not
be properly presented in open Senate and
there is little doubt that an effort will be
made to consider it in open session.
Senator Harris, of Kansas, announced to-
day that he was opposed to annexation. He
has heretofore been undecided.

HER DEBUT COST $2,5O0.
Louisville Heiress Asks Money to Foot
the Bill for a Ball.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. AIT the Louis
VILE Hotel last evening Mrs. Murray Keller
gave a debut party to introduce her sister,
Nettie Standiford, daughter of the late Ed
ward Standiford, once president of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company.
The ball was a grand one, attended by the
most exclusive set, but the party carries
with it a tale not without interest to the
envious outsiders and to the gossips among
the social set. Tuesday Miss Standiford
filed suit in chancery asking for an imme-
diate allowance of $1,000 from her share of
the estate to enable her to pay for the
debut party. The allowance was ordered.
In the affidavit asking for the allowance
Miss Standiford asked that sum be appro-
priated sufficient to make her entree into
society in a style becoming her station in
life. There was also an affidavit that money
is needed to pay certain Indebtedness, most
ly contracted while attending Nine. Ely's
fashionable school in New York in 1896.
The estate held in trust for Miss Standi-
ford is a very large one, DR.. Standiford
having been a millionaire and left but four
children, yet the handsome yearly allow
ance seems to be insufficient to keep up the
fast gait of society.

son asked what the road would do in the
matter or compliance with the law if their

the record of a lifetime and had voted for

questions asked by the commissioners de-
veioped the fact that 10 per cent. of the
freight cars now in service were not worth
equipment. Those cars would be retired
during the period of extension.
Among others who addressed the commit
tee this afternoon was l.. S. Coffin, former
ly. of the Iowa state railroad commission.
who contended that the commissioners
duty was to execute the law; that the eff
feet OF a refusal to extend its provisions
was not to be considered. The object of the
legislation was the protection of the lives
and limbs of railroad employees and pas
Sengers.
Figures furnished by Secretary Moseley,
OF the commission, show the total number
OF cars owned by the roads which filed pc
tItions for an extension to be 1.O69 7O4, of
which those owning 2SS,S00 cars had be-
tween 20 and 100 per cent. of their rolling
stock equipped. those owning 23021 cars
between 25 and 80 per cent. equipped and
those owning 1854 cars below 25 per cent

Concerning the proposed postal savings
system Mr.. Dingley said: II have reached
no conclusion on the question, as l want,
first, to know more definitely how the de-
posits can safely be invested, what would
be the effect on the existing savings bank
system. which has proved so valuable, and
whether the tendency of the new system
would be to draw capital from the more
thinly populated parts of the country

gested with capital or to make 1t available
for use outside these centers.

charges of wholesale frauds against the

bama. alleging that the government had
been defrauded out of about 100000 by false
claims by commissioners and deputy mar
shals. The Treasury Department sent two
examiners to investigate. As a result two
commissioners and eight deputy marshals
were indicted. Commissioner Robert Charl-
son, of Atlanta, whose stealings amounted
to $4,000 is now serving term In the

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Speaker Thos. b.
Reed spent a few hours in this city to-day
on his way from Maine to Washington for
the opening of Congress Monday. He called
on Senator Platt and few other friends.
The Speaker declined to discuss what the
action of Congress might be or what 1t
ought to be in regard 10 the important
questions of legislation that are sure to
arise at the coming session. He said that
it would be impossible for him to express
any opinion on such questions until he had
learned the wishes of the national admins
tration.
Senator Platt will leave town for Wash
ington tomorrow to open his winter head
quarters in the Arlington. He was asked
on the eve of his departure for Washington
for an opinion as to what important legis-
lation would be enacted and especially in
regard to the currency question and Cuba.
He said that the vote in the Senate was SO
close on financial questions that it would
be difficult to predict what legislation
would be enacted. In regard to Cuba he
said that in his opinion the national adj
ministratiOn's views on all foreign rela-
tions should govern the action of Congress.
Most of the representatives and senators
from the Eastern States, he thought, would
be guided by what the administration rec
ommended in that regard.

REORGANIZATION Committee Must Offer
Fair Price for Knnsas Pacific

ReOrganiZat tiOn Committee Must Offer
Fair Price for Kansas Pacific.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The government
has fully decided to qualify as a bidder at
the sale of the Kansas Pacific Railroad on
Dec. is next in case of the failure of the
reorganization committee to guarantee the
government what is regarded as a fair and
just figure for its interest. Whether the
President and the attorney general, how
ever will exact the full amount of the gov
ernment's claim\ of approximately S13 5000 600
is not known. 1t is learned that some days
ago the reorganization committee submitted
a proposition which was positively declined
What the proposition was has not been
made public With this exception no COM
munications bearing on the subject have
been made by either party, nor does the
government know what the purposes or
plans or the reorganization committee are
with reference to the sale. If no offer
which would be regarded as reasonable is
received prior to next Tuesday or Wednes-
daY the government will qualify as q bidder

check for about $500 900 and so he in q
position to protect its interests. The sale
under the consolidated mortgage takes
pace on Dec. 10, and on the following day
the SAFE under the governments lien.
Senator Harris to-day Expressed +he
opinion that the Kansas Pacific Railroad
would sell for a sufficient amount when put
up at auction on the 18th inst to fully com
ppensate the government, after paying the
nrst-mortgage Indebtedness. II Yesterday
submitted figures to the attorney general .
he said, showing that for the past ten
years the average net earnings of the road
nave amounted to 81, 200 coo, which is
think, good evidence of its earning capac-
lty.' When asked whether he would intro
duce any resolution of inquiry or of other
character bearing on the roads indebted
ness Mr.. Harris replied that that would de-
pend on the governments attitude in the
matter. He added that the government
could expect to collect only its debt of Si3.
OOOC00, and If that could be assured nothing
was necessary to be done by Congress.
