1t is the elimination of the struggle
which has gone on in congress for a
dozen years to secure some sort of an
debtedness on the basis of an extension,
as it has been apparent for a long
period that the roads would default
when the bonds matured. The interests
at stake are gigantic, and the friends
Of the bill are straining every nerve.
The opponents of the measure are also
active, and the result is awaited with
intense interest. Each side claims that

And When They Have Time Perhaps Do a
Little Business for Uncle Sam.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE course Of
the senate this week will depend large
ly upon whether the Pacific railroad
funding bill passes the house and
whether Senator Cameron will call up
his Cuban resolutions. Cameron's
friends expect that he will be in his
seat today, and that when he returns
he will indicate his desire as to the
resolutions on the Cuban question. If
he decides to press the resolutions there
will be a determined effort to aid him
In this direction. but in any event there
are likely to be few speeches on Cuba.
Mills has announced his purpose to
address the senate on the question to-
day, and it is understood that Davis
Is preparing Cuban speech. The Pet
tigrew free homestead bill is expected
to reach a vote today or tomorrow, and
1t Is to be followed by the Pacific rail-
road bill, if the latter bill passes the
house. CullOm, who will have charge
OF the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill. says he expects to
be able to report that measure by the
middle Of the week. and that he will
ask the senate to consider it as soon
as reported.
After the Pacific railways funding bill
Is disposed of the house will proceed
with the consideration of appropriation
bills until Saturday, which will be given
up to eulogies on the life and character
and public services Of the late ex-Speak-
er Crisp. The Indian and military ap-
preparation bills are on the calendar and
before they are disposed of the agri-
cultural bill will be brought on

Gottschalk's Thoughtfulness.

Many anecdotes have been told of Gott-
schalk's generosity, but none of his acts
showed his real kindness of heart more fully
than the deed he did on beh alf of alittle girl.
The musician was wandering in New Or
leans one evening, when he CHANGED TO turn
into music hall.
Hearing the manager announce that a
little girl who was to have played the piano
was too i'll to appear, the dly Gottschalk
went behind the scenes and offered to
take her place. The child was delighted,
and so must the musician have been by
her simple remark. She looked at him
doubtfully and said:
"You ha better look at the score. The
piece is rather difficult
Giottschalk gravely remarked that he
thought he could manage it, and was al
lowed to go on the stage. Then the audi
ence went wild with delight, for the must
clan was instantly recognized. Before he
left the stage the artist emptied his small
change into his hat and his listeners also
contributed generously to the fund, and
showed the grateful little girl that her
kind substitute was no ordinary person.

He and Audubon for years conducted

FINALLY Audubon began to get letters
from scientific societies In all parts of
Europe, and this correspondence took up
all of his time when he was not in the
woods, This convinced RoZier more than

bought him out. 1t was after this that
