a very big affair, and with the fur
niture and crowd of clerks, members
reporters and cranks which every day
jostle each other in search for some
thing, it has an animated popularity
of its own Here Tom Mckee prepares
the journal and thinks those great
chunks of parliamentary law which
have made him famous. Here the om-
nipresent newspaper man comes to
look over the daily batch of bills in
troduced and reported; here the mem
bers come for information on every
possible subject under the sun; here
are stored the files running clear back
to the first congress with original doc
uments, ETC., of inestimable value, and
here is the liars retreat, and chosen
resort of that interesting creature, the
American crank.
Every crank who makes the capitol
his working ground, and these are
legion, settled on this little room as
his headquarters. The crank is a cute
animal and knows a good thing when
he sees it, After being around Wash
irgton for short time he looks upon
the file room as his office and he makes
himself thoroughly at home. Any

number of this order, who have been
as regular in their attendance as any
ennploye, have gone from this room to
Saint Elizabeth's, and many more will
follow. During the recess, and espec-
tally during the past week, the room
has been one of the centers of activity
at the capitol. Every member on
reaching town drops in here for in
formation and a chat, and the room Is
usually blue with invectives on the
election and tobacco smoke.
Just down the hall Is the room sacred
to the committee on appropriations,
and Mr.. Cannon and a number of his
fellow members can nearly always be
found there at work on the coming ap-
preparations. The floor of the house is
generally deserted, except by workmen
and visitors. Around the house end
many of the committee rooms are al
ready open, and peep within usually
discovers the clerks and sometimes one
or two members sitting around with
cigars in full blast, and feet consider
ably elevated.

ANNEXATION
AND
CURRENCY

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The activ-
ity noticeable in the hotels and in the
corridors of the capitol today is plain
evidence that the convening of
congress is close at hand Speaker
Reed was one of the most prominent
figures at the capitol this afternoon. He
spent some time in greeting the mem
bers and in talking over the prospects
for legislation. Senator Davis and Rep
resentatives Stevens and Fletcher were
among the arrivals today. Senator
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-12-05

Davis and the other members of the
committee on foreign relations have
found since their arrival here a strong
er feeling against the proposed annexa-
tion of Hawaii than they anticipated
Mr.. Davis will call on the president
as soon as he returns from Canton and
talk over the Hawaiian annexation.
Davis will press the matter in the SEN
ate and will assume the aggressive at
the outset He says he is aware that
there will be opposition, but expects
that the treaty will be ratified. Mr.
Stevens went to work at once on de-
partment matters this afternoon. He
called at the war department and later
at the pension Office.
The Republican members who have
arrived seem to agree that there is lit
tie or no prospect of currency legisla-
ton, and many of them, like Mr.. Can
non, of Illinois, are emphatic in the
expression of the opinion that it would
be a mistake to attempt to pass a
measure through the house with the
certainty that it would fail in the SEN
ate. Judge Cox, of Tennessee, the lead
ing member of the Democratic minority
of the committee on banking and cur
rency, does not believe it would be
possible even to get a bill out of that
committee, owing the conflicting views
held by the members, and has advised
Chairman Walker not to make the at
tempt Mr.. Tawney, one of the mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee, believes that, if the leaders should
decide to press a currency measure, it
should come not from the currency,
but the ways and means committee
Any bills which contemplates the is
sue of bonds or involved the revenues
in any way, as, for instance in the
reduction of the tax on national bank
notes, he says, could properly come un-
der the jurisdiction of the ways and
means committee. Mr.. Tawney thinks
it not improbable that the ways and
means committee may present an i'm
portant measure in. the course of the
session for the modification of some
of the internal revenue features of the
present tariff law. The internal reve-
nue. features of the law of 1894 were
rot amended in any respect by the
Dingley law Two of the questions
which will be considered in connection
with the proposition TO amend these
features Of the law will be the pro-
posed reduction of the tax on whisky
and the subject of free alcohol in the
arts, which a joint committee of the
house and senate have been fnvestigat-
ing. 1t is the intention of Chairman
Cannon and his colleagues on the ap-
propriations committee to press the ap-
preparation bills through as early as
possible, and they expect to pass two
at least before the Christmas holidays
Everything is in readiness for
the statesmen. When the gavels
of Vice President Hobart and
Speaker Reed fall at noon tomorrow
the senate and house of representa-
tives will come to order. in an orderly
manner, in legislative halls which are
in orderly condition. Busy officials
have had their hands full of work ever
since the close of the last session, and
nothing but the most persistent indus
try could have brought about as many
decorative and comfort-giving improve
ments as now await the annual leg
islative coming.

MADRID, Dec 4-The dissatisfac-
ton among the officers of the Spanish
army here, which grew out of the al
legged too rapid promotion of an army
officer of the Madrid garrison, which
led to his comrades refusing to receive
him, is so intense that Col. d'Harcourt,
whose promotion to the colonelcy of the
Maria Christina regiment, has handed
over the command of his regiment to
the senior major. 1t is thought, how
ever, that Col. d'Harcourt will be given
an equally desirable position on the
queens military staff The army offic-
ers continue to demand a change in the
system of promotion.

The fact that the engineers confer

An Italian of much note, Prot. Luigi
Dambon In a recent paper took the ground
that northern latitudos are not conducive
to longevity. In support of his theory
he snys that the average Arab outlives
the average Esquimo by no less than
twenty. five years and that the people
who live on tho unhealthy coasts of South
America survive the Inhabitants of the
higher and cooler attitudes of the interior.
