CAPITAL RAILWAY COMPANY.
Nav BE Absorbed by the suburban
or Traction Syndicates.

q T Crosby and his street railway
syndicate have become the center of the
most lively railway gossip and specula-
tion Washington has witnessed in the last
few years. He has apparently accomplish
ed so much and his plans seem so big that
even the things he has never thought of
loom up in the rumors as large possibili-
ties.
The latest of these rumors makes his
syndicate a bidder for the Capital Rail-
way, the line which runs from Congress
Heights to Eighth and NJ Streets south
east. the eastern terminus of the Capital
Traction line. There is very good founda-
ton for the belief, however, that Mr..
Crosby does not intend to annex the
Capital Railway and has at no time been
a bidder for ii. People who are believed
10 be close to him in Suburban Railway
matters made positive statements to a
reporter for The Times yesterday that he
had no Intention to purchase the road. II
is the belief of these people that there is
no more foundation for the rumor than a
possible desire on the part of Mr. Randle,
the president of the road. TO sell.
1t is pointed out that the Anacostia line.
lately acquired by the Suburban Railway.
traverses nearly all the territory of the
Capital Railway, and that the purchase
would simply duplicate franchises where
one answers all the purposes eontemplat-
ed by the suburban road. Mr.. Crosby has
been out of the city for several days and
no statement from the gentleman person.
ally relative to the matter could be OBJ
tained last night.
Another effect of the recent great
activity of Mr.. Crosby has been to re-
vive the old plan of a combination of the
Capital Railway with the Capital Trac-
tion Company. When President Randle
first ran his cars over the Capital Rail-
way the feasibility of annexing ii to the
Capital Traction system and running a
continuous service through TO Congress
Heights was much talked about by specu-
latiye people, but it could not be learned
that the plan ever received the serious
consideration of the Capital Traction of
Gcers.

distance from there to the north vest For

be located in the head, the nose, the
throat, the lungs, the stomach, the blad-
der or other pelvic organs. Wherever the
catarrh is, there is sure to be waste OF
mucus. This mucus is as precious as
blood. II is blood, in fact II is blood
plasma--blood with the corpuscles re-
moved.
To stop this waste you must stop this
catarrh. A course of treatment with Pc
ru-na never fails to do this. No greater
discovery has been made in this century
than the discovery of Pe-ru-na.
Pe-ru-na Is an internal remedy-a scien-
tific remedy for catarrh. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. Its cures last Peru
ma gives strength by stopping waste. By
saving the mucus it enriches the blood.
BY cleansing the mucous membranes il
preserves the vital forces.
No remedy can possibly supply the place
of Pe-ru-na. Insist upon having Peru
ma. Take no other remedy. There is no
substitute for this catarrh medicine.

actor has to say about the life-giving
benefits of Pe-ru-na:

THE WHEAT MARKET.
December shorts Show Anxiety to
| Figure in the Days Trade.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-December wheat
shorts showed anxiety to get out of their
contracts today and. although at times
there was December on the market, the
demand exceeded the supply. The close
was S-Sa1-2c over Saturday and at the top.
Russian shipments showed a considerable
falling off,, 600 less than last week.
The worlds shipments were larger than
last weeks, but merely because of the
big clearances from this side. Gables said
that the Argentine weather was cold and
that there was some anxiety over the
wheat crop. Today's statistics were bear
ish, larger increase in the visible than
expected. Primary receipts were50 600
larger than last year. The Northwest had
1000 cars, against 1,7S6 year ago Con-
tinental markets were Indifferent.

There was another advance in the price
of refined sugar yesterday. 1t was first
made by the independent refineries and
later by the Trust. The advance is I'M
doubtedly due to the advance In raws
and the inability of the opposition re-
finers to produce refined at the lower
figure at a profit Every advance of the
refined now means point gained by the
Trust. There can be no question of this.
Many people now believe that Sugar is as
likely to advance as anything else on the
list.

DENIAL OF COL. STAPLES.
He Holds No Wager Money Subjec,
to Garnishee for Debt.

The recent election bet made in this city
by Wilbur w. Marmaduke with which
Col. o. G. Staples was connected in the
shape of writ of garnishee, made its
final appearance in the District Court
yesterday when Col Staples filed his an
swer to interrogatories propounded to
him in reference to the matter. The writ
was ostensibly served in connection with
the suit of the Bells Cycle Company
against w. w. Marmaduke, but as
matter of fact was the outgrowth of the
recent election bet referred to. Col
Staples positively denies having any
money in keeping belonging to anyone
connected with the suit.

SENATE.
Thirty-third Day, March 80.

Thirty-third Day, March 80
Senator Brown announced that House
bills relating to the widening of streets
and the cultivation of coffee and ramie
had been presented to the President for
mis- signature.
The House bill to encourage the cult
walton of grapes was read by title and
referred to the Commerce Committee. The
House bill relating to the release of dover
was read by title and referred to the
judiciary Committee.
The Loan bill was reported from the
Printing Committee and taken up for con-
sideration. The item of $4,000 for Harbor
Improvement Honolulu, was referred to
the special committee having under con-
sideration the bill to provide wharves for
the Oahu Railway on motion of Senator
McCandIess who said that there was some
opposition among the citizens to the pro-
posed plan of the Government to make
one long wharf at the Eva end of the
harbor instead of slips. The item of
so 900 for harbor Improvement, Hilo, and
a new item of $1,000 for new wharf, Ma
hillu, was referred to the Public Lands
Committee. Other items were referred to
the Public Lands Committee as follows:
waipio grade, $1,000; new roads in the
Makawao district, Maui, $4,000; roads and
bridges, Kauai, $500. The item of $4,000
for bridge at Lauhulu was deferred on
motion off Senator Brown who told the
Senate of the destruction of bridges by
the flood of last Sunday on the other side
OF the Island.
The Senate refused to pass the item of
81. 800 for the completion of Diamond Head
lighthouse but instructed the Committee
on Public Lands instead to investigate
the condition of the light as now con-
structed. 1t was said that the great
weight of the light, some Is tons, is to be
supported only by four galvanized iron
posts and that half a gale would topple
the structure or bend one of the posts,
when it would fall. 1t was said that many
mechanics of the city had condemned its
construction
The deliberately drawn plans for the pro-
posed Honolulu sewer system were brought
10 the Senate chamber and examined aft
er which the S257, 200 item for its construc-
ton was passed.
Senator McCandless' amendment to
place the construction of new roads under
local road boards, and to provide that
their building shall not be commenced,
and they shall not be accepted except or
the approval of the boards, was accepted
The subsidy to Oahu Railway was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 and the Sen.
ate adjourned.
