Congress at its next session will
have an unusually large number of
new problems to deal with. 1t will
be called upon, among other things,
to provide governments for Hawaii
and Puerto Rico, to say nothing of
the arrangements required for Guam,
Tutuila, the Philippines and Cuba.
Proposals will be considered for estab
" hing Communication by cable be-
tween San Francisco and Manila and
the advocates of an isthmian canal
will try to force choice between the
Panama and the Nicaraguan canals,
and urge the completion of one or
the other. The treaty for the allevi-
alton of the horrors of war, evolved
by The Hague conference, will need
consideration, as also the renewal of
our treaties with Spain and proposals
for the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and for permanent
settlement of the Alaskan boundary
question. A reciprocity treaty with
France and treaty with Chile for a
revival of the claims commission will
likewise demand action. The Presi
dent has declared that the continu.
ance of the Western Union Telegraph
Company's monopoly of cable com
munication with Cuba is question fol
Congress to decide. The increase o
the navy is to be urged, as respects

When the goth Century begins.

Quite a common subject of dispu-
tation just now is when the nine
teenth century ends or when the
twentieth century begins. 1t has
been settled SO far as it can be by
Prof. Christie, director of the royal
observatory at Greenwich, who writes:
''In reply to your inquiry l beg to
inform you that the twentieth century
begins on January 1, 1901. 1t has
been generally agreed to call the first
year of the Christian era Ammo DOM
mi 1, not A. d. 0, and consequently
the second century begins with A. D.
101, 100 years after the beginning of
the first year, and so on for the sue
ceeding centuries. The question was
fully discussed at the century dinner
at Glasgow on April Is, 1870, when
the lord dean of the guild, after quot
ing various authorities, gave his de-
cision as arbiter that the nineteenth
century did not commence till Janu-
airy /, 1901"

THEY WISH TO LIMIT FRANCHIs,
Alleged Intention of the Democrats-S
Bill to Be Prepared.

Bill to Be Prepared.
A Baltimore newspaper is auth
ity for the following; ~
1t is stated definitely to-day that II
bill will be presented early in n
session of the coming Legislat, N
having for it's object the disfrancl1I
ing, through the submission of d ILL
stitutional amendment for educ
tional or property qualification II
suffrage, a large proportion of tie
negro vote in the State. While, Of
course, this has been suspected to b
greater or less degree during the
whole campaign, the Democratic lead
ers have refrained from stating it on
! the stump, and it has been largely a
matter of inference as one of the re-
suits if the Democrats won. 1T is
now stated that what practically
amounted to pledge has gone forth
on this subject to the county Demo-
Gratis. General Thomas J. Shryock.
chairman of the Republican State
Central Commi tee, in the written
statement which he gave out to the
| Associated Press, said 81 prophesy
that the Democrats in the next Legis-
lature will attempt to disfranchise
the negro"
In each of the Southern states
which have gone Republican and
have afterward been won by the
Democrats again, laws have been
passed by which the colored vote has
been more or less disqualified. In
some states the qualifications required
of vo ers have been property q x.e aFsiisl
cations; in others educational quail
fications, and in two instances both
have been demanded.
1t is not stated yet what will prob
ably be the course pursued in Mary
land. The bipartisan election ma
chinery initiates to considerable
extent against too harsh an enforce
ment of the law here. The very best
Democratic lawyers will be engaged
in the task of preparing between this
time and the meeting of the Legisla-
ture bill which will operate best in
the interest of the Democratic party
and will stand the test of the consti-
tuition.
The favorite educational qualifica-
ton in the South is to require the APP
plicant to read and interpret any
clause of the constitution which may
be presented to them by the registra-
ton officers. This, of course, can be
manipulated to the advantage of
some and against others by the regis
tration officers.
1t is said that ex-Attorney-Gener
John p. Poe and Mr.. Isidor Rayner
will be in charge Of the preparation
of the bill, and that in addition to
these gentlemen the best legal talent
in the Democratic party in the state
will be consulted before it is pre-
sented to the Legislature
The bill is to be presented first in
the Senate, and will come from a
Senator representing some county
where there is only small negro
vote, so that in case it is defeated it
will not hurt its presumed author or
his party in the county to any con-
siderable extent.

to shipowners engaging in foreign
commerce is supported by powerful
interests that plead the policy of
protection" in support of their raid
upon the Treasury. AS the Admins
tration and influential leaders in the
House and Senate are newly pledged
to the enactment of law making
gold more equivocally the standard
of value, action is expected by friends
of sound money. For banking re-
form the prospect is less favorable,
and the same may be said of needed
amendments of the interstate COM
merce act to permit railways to pool
their business between certain points
as a means of obstructing the estab-
lishment of industrial monopolies.
Trusts will be discussed, but probably
without effective action. Ticket scalp
ing, the creation of national quaran-
tine, the creation of Department
of Commerce." the seating of Mr..
Quay in the Senate and the expulsion
of Mr.. Roberts, the alleged bigamist,
from the House are other questions
that will make demands upon the
energies of the National Legislature.

AGUINALDo is still at large, but part
of Mrs Aguinaldo's wardrobe has
been captured by the Americans.

HERE is a chance for Mr.. Bryan.
The Tagal organ in the Philippines,
the Independence, declares that
"Rizal, Bryan, and Aguinaldo are the
glorious trinity of our political re-
demption." If Mr.. Bryan and his
associates in the United States are
sufficiently helpful to enable Aguin-
aldo to establish independence in the
PHILIPPINES, Mr.. Bryan might transfer
his Presidential aspirations to that
spot, where he appears, according to
the Independence, to be extremely
popular.

AMERICAN capital is being rapidly
invested in the islands which have of
late come under the control of the
United States Government. The bust
ness men of the country realize that
we have to send abroad $3.50, 900 a
year for tropical products, and think
they might as well get their share of
the profits from the production of
these articles, every dollars worth of
which can be grown in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines,
and thus keep this vast sum of money
within our own borders instead of
distributing it to che outside world
every year.

ABOUT the last of the industries to
recover from the depression caused
by low tariff and Democratic rule is
that of woollen manufactures. The
enormous importations of woollen
goods under the Wilson low tariff
paralyzed the manufacturers of wool
en- goods within the United States,
and it is only during the last few
months that they have fully recover
ed from the depression due to the en-
ormous stock in the country when
the Dingley law was passed. Now,
however, the wooden mills of the coun-
try are running on full time, and in
many cases overtime. Demand for
American wool is increasing, and the
last of American industries to feel the
effect of Republican protection is
gratefully acknowledging its benefits.

THE old soldiers of the war of 1861 5
thave no patience with the perform
ances of the fault-finders in the So
called Democratic party of to-day.
General Dan Sickels, who was in
Washington the other day, said:
II have ALWAYS been a Democrat
and always expect to be one, but
Organism is not the faith of the old
time leaders off the party. Gwould
scorn myself were to pretend to en-
dorse such principles as were embod-
led in the Chicago platform, which
has already nearly made shipwreck
of the Democratic party; and if put
forward again, the verdict against it
will be more overwhelmingly crush
ing than in 1896"

Now Auditorium.

Work on the new auditorium at
Mountain Lake Park is being rapidly
pushed along. The most convenient
and complete auditorium in the
United States is said to be at Mount
Gretna, Pa. The architect who plan
ned and built that auditorium is j. H.
Cilley, of Lebanon, Pa, who is now
erecting the one at Mountain Lake
Park. This is the fourth one that
Mr.. Cilley has constructed and is the
largest he has attempted. The, roof
will be perfect circle, with diameter
of 176 feet, and is shaped like a huge
japanese umbrella. Some conception
of its vast size can be gained from the
statement that it will take 100000
shingles to cover the roof.
The seating capacity will be 5000
and in cases of emergency accommo-
dations will be provided to seat 4, 700
The seats will be arranged in am
pitheatre form, in circles facing the
platform, rising one above the other.
The platform will also have raised
seats for the use of the chorus. Under
the platform will be series of dress
ing rooms and offices, and two large
gates for exits. The platform alone
will be large enough TO seat 500 peo-
pie. There will be no interior posts
to obstruct the view. Thirty-four
chestnut posts sunk deeply into the
ground, on stone foundations, on the
outskirts of the building, support the
roof, which is built on the cantilever
system. The roof projects beyond
the posts 16 feet. When completed
the cost will be about $4,000.
