for, and not left TO charity to keep them
from suffering and hunger.
THE bill does not contemplate any new
homes, nor any aid TO the States homes
that exist on limited scale throughout
the South. Still less does ii ask any
pensions. The South is too poor to PEN
sion its men on any such scale as the ma
tional Government, but II has done what
it could. Now IL the Government will
take in some of our old soldiers we can
better care for the rest.
II do not want anyone to think that
this bill is hastily or lightly drawn. l
have been considering its contents for
some time. My introducing it was only
hastened a little by President McKinley's
speech. This seemed the very moment
when the bill would attract the most at
tention and would be most canvassed.
and so put it in. sincerely hope that
it may be widely and favorably discuss
ed. Whether it will become a law l do
not know. but do know that it ought to
become such. Perhaps its chances might
have been better had 1t been introduced
by Union veteran, but do not know.

WANT AN EXTRA SESSION.
Petition Asking the President to
Call One in March.


Indications point more strongly each day
toward the probability of an extra session
of Congress being called in March, imme-
diately after adjournment. There are
many senator's and representatives who
are Of the opinion that an extra session
will be absolutely necessary in order TO
transact much of the business which is
just now holding the attention of the
country.
For several days past 4 petition has
been quietly circulated on the floor Of the
House asking the President to call an ex-
ira session in March. The petition urges
that in the call the President specifically
designate that the session will be for the
sole purpose of considering financial leg
islation.
Beyond that, little is known of the Pc
tition. except that it has been extensively
signed already. The proponents of the
scheme express confidence in their ability
to secure the signatures Of a big majority
of the Republicans in the House.
In the Senate, too, there is a well-de-
fined impression in certain quarters that
an extra session will be necessary. The
senators in favor of it do not, however,
maintain that 1t should be called for the
exclusive purpose Of dealing with the
question of finance.
They point out other things which they
regard as of great Importance, among
them the necessity for providing forms of
government for the colonies and such ac-
tion as may be necessary in regard to the
probable recommendations of the British
American JOINT High Commission
1t is thought that the Commission will
conclude its work soon after January l.
and the resultant treaty of Quebec may
furnish topic Tor much discussion IN the
Senate. These and other matters of less
Importance are urged by those in favor
of an extra session.

REPORT MADE TO CONGRESS-.
Estimates for Improving he An

ASoAateo AVr- AMPEvSAu8 k1nG An
scostia River. FL
The Secretary of War yesterday Gent to
Congress report. made by Lie,t Col
Charles ]. Allen, corps OF engineers, Of a
survey of the Anacostia River and esti-
mates of the cost of improving the same
The survey was mLde in accordance with
a joint resolution of Congress. approved
April Il. 1898.
Lieut.. Col Allen states that. taking as
a basis the present plan Of deepening the
Potomac to twenty feet, the necessary
depths in the Anacostia are twenty feet
at low water, with width of 400 feet
from the mouth of the river to the navy
yard; thence a depth of sixteen feet, with
width of 200 to 800 feet, as far as Ben
ming bridge. Above the bridge are the
flats. which are beyond the city limits,
and Col. Allen thinks their improvement
may be deferred for the present.
/ Two plans and sets of estimates are
proposed. The first is to deepen and
widen the stream as abCe, and to de-
post the dredged material on the flats.
raising them to height of seven feet
above low water. and building a fourteen
foot retaining wall. The cost, including
contingencies. will be:
From the mouth to the navy yard,
sl,2ls. 525: from the navy yard to Benning
bridge, $976, 1876; total recommended, 81, 1884,
72O; above Benning bridge. $s446oo total.
s.. .S39, 800.
If the embankment and drainage be
omitted. this cost will be reduced 10
81. 49s. $50.
The second plan is exactly like the first
with the addition of other filling neces-
above low water. The estimate follows:
Below navy yard. So, 80; navy yard to
Benning s2.646,93o; total recommended,
s5.sSS. $50; above Benning. sl,o2s5co; total.
Sc, ,967, $50.
Assuming that the second plan will not
be adopted on account of the heavy cost,
and that Improvement above BenninS is
deferred for the present, Lieut.. Col. Allen
suggests the first plan as serving present
needs and as least expensive.
The estimates have been made on the
assumption that large and continuous ap-
propriations viii be made. and it is be-
heved that $500, eco can advantageously be
expended annually.
Col. Alien has found 1t impracticable to
make estimates of the cost OF obtaining
the lands needed. The estimates do not
include the cost of altering bridges or
protecting bridge piers affected or endan-
gered by the improvements.

FOR SOUTHERN SOLDIERS
Rixey's Bill to Admit Them to
Government Homes.
THE TARDY OLIVE BRANCH
HastencB by the Speech OF the
President at Atlanta - Needy IN
Their Old AGc-Thc War AEiinst
Spain Has obliternted sectional
Feeling would he Generous
Act.

Representative Rixey of Virginia thinks
that the time has come for Congress 10
go further than even President mckinley
has vet advocated in bridging over the
chasm between North and South that re-
suited from the four years of civil war
fare thirty-odd years ago. He thinks that
the blood of North and South so freely
spilled on the slopes of San Juan should
move the reunited country to consider the
sufferings of the living Confederate SOL
diers who are now poor and old and
needy, and whose States are unable to
care for them as they should be cared for.
Yesterday. moved thereto by the Presi-
dents speech at Atlanta Wednesday last,
in which he advocated the care by the
general Government of the Confederate
graves, Mr.. Rixey introduced the follow
ing bill:
That from and after the passage of
this act all soldiers homes and other in
stitutions maintained by the Government
for the MANNED, crippled and needy SOL
diers and sailors of the United States shall
be open to all soldiers and sailors of the
civil war of 1916 upon the same terms,
and without discrimination as to whether
they were enlisted upon the side of the
Union or of the Confederacy."
Mr.. Rixey is a Virginian, big. power
ful man, with an interesting face partial
ly veiled by n thick black beard. Speak
ing of his bill yesterday, he said: "Presi-
dent Mckinley has advocated publicly the
care of the Confederate dead by the gen.
eral Government: my bill asks Congress
10 care for the aged and crippled Confed-
crates living in so far as TO admit them
10 the national homes for the soldiers.
The veterans of the South say that they
fought as bravely and as long and as well
as they could; they have laid down their
arms; they have not grudgei their share
of the cost of maintaining the Northern
veterans who suffered in the conflict. and
now that their sons have proved that they
are altogether loyal TO the Stars and
Stripes once more, they ask that the new
Union be cemented by admitting them to
the national homes and saving them from
dying uncared for.

there are IN the Confederacy who would
wish to take advantage of this bill. /
have no estimate. But i do know that
many of the States of the South are poor

bility. He favored an age limit on en-
trance from civil life. saying that one Of
ficer had come in at fifty-nlne who would
retire on three-quarters pay for life at
sixty-four.
Major Morrison strongly advocated that
the officers who bore the highest respon-
sibility should all have high rank. even
though their number seemed dispropor-
tionate to the number of the junior off,
GERS. The Hull bill prepared by the ad-
jutant general had fixed the number CT
these higher officers rather by the whole
number of officers in the department than
by the degree of their responsibility.

there was eight of these. Hereafter
when things have quieted down. Major
Morrison thought there should be ten.
Today Will be the last on which hearing
will be held. The bill will be considered
in committee on Monday and will GER
tainly be reported before Congress ad-
journs for the holidays. The majority of
the committee think that speedy action
is demanded by the country, and wish
the public TO have the holiday period TO
become fully aware of the provisions of
the bill.

The Hanna election case was taken up

BY local applications as they caunot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by IN inflamed condition Of the mu
dus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inilamcd you have II rubbing
sound or imperfet. hearing, and whom it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normrl condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inllamed condition Of the
