NO NEED OF HASTE.
Chairman Cannon Says Colonial Legisla-
ton Had Better Wait.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Representa-
tive Cannon OF Illinois, chairman Of the
appropriations committee of the house,
has arrived and the subcommittee on
deficiencies will at once begin the con-
sideration OF the estimates for the e1-
traCrdinaZy expenses of the army and
navy growing out Of the war and the
preparation Of a bill covering these de-
ficiencies for the period from Jan. 1,
1898. to July /. 1899. Mr.. Cannon will
push the preparation and consideration
of the regular appropriation bills as rap
idly as possible, but he sees no reason
now why any Of them should fail, and
thus necessitate an extra session. He
expects that the urgent deficiency and
the District Of Columbia bills will pass
before the holidays and that work on
the other regular bills will have pro-
crossed so far during the recess that
they can be brought into the house after
the recess as rapidly as that body is
ready for them.
Both MI. Cannon and Mr.. Dingley,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, share the opinion that to try to
hold the house here during the holidays
would be impracticable and unprofita-
BILE.
No Occasion For Hasty Legislation.
With the enactment of the regular
money bills necessary to carry on the
governmental machinery at this session
Of congress, Mr.. Cannon sees no Occa-
sion for an extra session, so far as legls-
lation for our new possessions is con-
cerned. He believes unripe or hasty
legislation for the government OF the
islands would be infinitely worse than
military rule. Under military COVER
norship there is perfect elasticity.
Changes can be made to fit new cOndi-
tons as fast as they arise. A years de-
lay before attempting permanent legis-
lation would give ample time for the
study and investigation of all the condi-
tons surrounding the government of the
islands, both by the military authori-
ties, and by committees which might be
provided by congress. Congress could
then, Mr.. Cannon says, deal intelli-
gently with the subject.
The grand total of the appropriations
for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1899,
including all the extraordinary war ex-
penses to Jan. l, but not including the
Deficiencies for extraordinary expenses
from Jan. to July 1. 1899, is 1903, 231,-
615. There are no figures as yet upon
which the appropriations for the com
ing session of congress can be based,
but MI Cannon believes til :; will be
considerably below the figure for the
last congress.

MODEL CITIES
Conference of the National Mu-
nicipal League Discussing
the Matter.
Committee Appointed at the An
nuai Meeting of the League
a Year Ago
For the Purpose of Preparing
Essential Principals for an
Ideal Municipality"
Will Report to This Conference.
Eighteen Months of Hard
Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-The sixth
conference of the National Municipal
league is in session in the assembly
rooms of the Commercial club. This is
the most important meeting of the
league since the organization has been
formed. Its purpose is to discuss what
it regards as the first essential to gen.
eral municipal reform-an ideal or
model system of government. The task
of preparing such system was under
taken by the association at its meeting
in Louisville in 1897. A committee of
seven was appointed and charged with
the task, without restriction as to time
or instructions as to details. The COM
mittee is charged with the duty of pre-
pairing essential principles" and a
working plan or system consistent with
American industrial and political con-
ditions. The results of this work, which
has been constant for 18 months, are a
set of general state constitution amend
ments, and municipal corporations act
which the committee believes will &C
complish all that is sought.
During the morning there were ar
rivals of delegates to the conference.
The organization is representative of
many municipal leagues, Christian gov
eminent leagues, good citizenship
leagues and the like all over the coun-
try. State associations are represented.
Among the delegates attending the con-
ference are many who are distinguished
as students of political economy and
who are known as advocates of new sys-
TENS of municipal government. The
organization is comprehensive of the
various elements from the radical to the
conservative. The conservative ele-
ment is largely in control at present.
Charles Richardson, vice president of
the league, is presiding in the absence
of President Carter of New York. The
delegates We're welcomed by Governo or
Mount and Mayor Taggart. The fol-
lowing papers were read:

HObSOn and Cushing.

So much has been said of Hobson's daring feat and his personal courage, so frequently iickened to that of Lieut.. Cushing, of the late civil war, that 8 brief account of the latter's achieve ment and his subsequent career is found intensely interesting. The de- struction of the Confederate ironclad ram Albemarle is thus mentioned in an exchange:
 On October 27, 1865, Cushing of the United States navy undertook and &C., complished the destruction of the Con- federate ironclad ram Abemarle. She was laying several miles up Roanoke river, whence he had gone after play ing havo with the federal feet at the rivers mouth. The Albemarle was protected by boom of logs, and she was vigilently guarded. Gushing, with a crew of twelve men, ran up the river in the night, in a steam launch, to the bow of which he had attached a pow erful tarpedo. Coming near the great Iron ram before he was discovered, he put on all steam, went straight at the boom, his launch slid over the loga instead of parting them, the tarpedo was driven against the ships hull and she sank. All this Cushing and his men did under hot fire from the ship. The launch was knocked to pieces. Cushing and one other mem- Der of the crew got to land, The lieutenant made his way, on foot, down the river, and reaceel the Feder- al fleet, two or three days after his exploit, nearly dead of fatigue and want of sleep, his clothing literally torn to shreds by the thick brush through which he had ambered, ran and crawled. It was most daring deed. The hardship was too much for the young officers strength. He was never a well man afterward, and few years after the close of the war he died in the government hospital for the insane at Washington.
