Washington, Nov. 25.-Representa- tive Pitney of New Jersey, a prominent member of the subcommittee on ap- populations. having charge of the District Of Columbia appropriation bill. was elected to the state senate of New Jersey in the recent elections IL will be recalled that Mir Pitney de- clined renomilation to congress, but at the request Of the party leaders con- sented to make the race for the state senate. in which body the republicans were anxious to have a majority
 The legislature 10 which Mir Pituey has been elected will meet in Janu- ary. but it is not known whether MT. Pitney will resign his seat in congress before the close of his term or not. It is thought by his friends that in any event he would probably not resign until three or four weeks after the assembling of the legislature. which would give him time to work on the District appropriation bill at this ses- sion. His presence in the committee room during the preparation of that measure is very much desired by his colleagues

 Hand Rendered Assistance.

Kansas City, Nov. 25.-The trarsac- tions of the Prevalent association de- veIoped no cases of suffering from the cold, and aside from the unusual mum Der or applications for fuel, the calls for assistance were not more numerous than usual. There were several calls for help in sickness, but in answering these the assistants found the sufferers fairly well provided against cold. The superintendent thought that the sever ity of the storm may have kep1 many at home who otherwise would have made application for assistance, but on the whole, he says, the poor people of the city are reasonably well clothed and housed. The Prevalent associa- tion has an ample supply of fuel and clothing to meet any demands which are likely to be made.
 Al the Helping Hand the indications of indictment weather outside were a little more marked, and Superintend- ent Terry Brigham and his assistant. Mir. Davis, had their hands full caring for their guests.
 Our average number of lodgers in the free room" said MI. Davis, "is fifty during the fall, but tonight we have about 125. There is marked diff ference, too, in the number that are paying for their rooms. Ordinarily, about two-thirds Of our beds are full, but tonight We have more calls than beds"

pLAYING FOR TIME.
The Spsniards Will Not Reply Until
 Next Ionday.

Paris, Nov. 25.--It is now known Spain will exhaust her time limit, which expires on Monday, before re- plying to the American offer regarding the Philippine islands. In the mean while the Spaniards are canyassing the entire field and exhausting every re- source to postpone the inevitable. As cabled to the Associated Press on Wednesday, they would not accept the American ultimatum as final without asking if it were really so. That ap- piled to the time limit. Now the Span iards apparently doubt the fxedness Of the amount the Americans have of fered for the Philippines, and today they sent a communication to the American commissioners asking if the latter would accept a counter proposi- tion by Spain 70 cede the Philippines for S100, ,00G ,0G0.
 Spain imagines the Americans might be willing to lop off the great island Of Mindanao from the Philippines and pay Spain S50,000, 900 for what would remain instead of $20,000, GOO now of fared for the entire archlpela go. Spain will learn in response to such inquiry that the Americans employed the word '-ultimatum'' to signify ultimate con ditions.
 Spain before giving up or turning away will also propose some alterna- tive bargain Of the CarolineC or Ca nary islands to De held in possession of the United States in addition to the Philippines on condition that Spain be permitted to retain her sovereignty in the Philippines. In other words, Spain would cede certain territory in the Carolines and Canaries and the control of the Philippines by the United States for nominal Spanish sovereignty, and as further inducement propose that the United States shall pay Spain no money on account of the Philippine islands
