GIVES TIME TO ALL
House Provides for Night Sessions ia
Hear Financial Speeches.

Hear Financial Speeches.
Washington, Dec. 14.-There is such
great pressure for time on the part OF
the members of both sides who desire
to participate in the currency debate in
the house that three night sessions were
ordered today. Interest in the debate
is not keen, judged by the attendance
in the galleries, although the members
themselves are listening attentively to
the speeches.
The features OF the debate todaywere
the speeches of Grosvenor of Ohio for
the bill, and OF Cochran OF Missouri
and Newlands CT Nevada against it.
The other speakers were: Parker of
New Jersey, William Allen Smith of
Michigan, Prince of Illinois, Lawrence
OF Massachusetts, and Powers OF YER
mont for the bill, and Shafroth OF Colo
RADIO and Sims of Tennessee against It,.
Whether Admiral Dewey, acting for
the United States government, formally
or informally recognized the Philippine
republic at Manila, is a question which
Pettigrew of South Dakota desires the
navy department to answer. He in
troduced resolution in the senate to-
day directing the secretary of the navy
to supply the senate with information
OH the subject, but Chandler OF New
Hampshire objected to it's immediate
consideration.
Senator Mcbride today reintroduced
his bill to appropriate $650,00O to en-
large the Portland public building.
He says it will be impracticable now
to secure change in the building ma
terial, but that another story can be
added to afford the extra room, which
is needed to accommodate the various
government offices. This bill was fav-
orably reported without amendment by
Senator Simon last year, and both sem
ators expect to secure its passage this
session.
Senator Mcbride also reintroduced
his bill fixing the salaries OF letter car
iiers in all large cities.

THE DEBATE OPENED.
House Takes Up Consideration Of the
Currency Bill.

House Takes Up Confederation Of the
Currency Bill.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The feature
OF the opening day Of the debate on the
currency bill in the house was the
speech Of Dolliver Of Iowa. 1t was
characteri. I'd by all the wit and elo-
quence for which the 1owan is noted,
and held the members, without regard
to party, for more than an hour. DOL
liver declared that the least doubt in
the Republican party as to the wisdom
Of enacting the gold.standard law had
been removed by the experience of the
business world during the past three
years. He scored MIR. Bryan and gen.
orally ridiculed the alleged false pro-
phecies of the Democrats in 1896.
DeArmond of Missouri was the
heavy gun on the Democratic side. He
warned the Republicans from the West
that they could not deceive their con.
stituents in the coming congressional
elections by claiming that they had
yielded to the wisdom of their col.
leagues in caucus. Overstreet of In.
diana opened the debate in support OF
the bill, and Maddox OF Georgia re-
piled to him.
Mcclellan of New York was the only
other speaker today. He announced
his opposition to the bill on the ground
that it would contract the currency,
extinyuish bank notes and enhance the
value of coin bonds. He appealed to
those OF his Democratic colleagues from
New York who it is reported intend to
vote for the bill not to do so.

THE FISH INDUSTRY.
Statistics of Columbia River Salmon
Pack rs Given In Annual Report Of
Commissioner Reed, Of Oregon.

Fish Commissioner F. c. Reed, of
Oregon, has filed his annual report in
the office OF the governor. The report
covers the year ending October 81,
1899. 1t is voluminous document
and covers the years work in detail.
On the subject of hatcheries the re.

and constructing the buildings and the
work accomplished in the state during
the past year.
The number of chinook salmon eggs
taken from the different hatcheries in

From the salmon that were marked
by MIR. Hubbard, Matched from eggs
taken in 1895, there were caught dur
ing the season OF 1898. 375 fish weigh
ing from 10 to SO pounds each. Dur
ing the season of 1899 the packers and
dealers have neglected to watch for the
marked fish as we'll as they should,
says the report, but between 40 and SO
have been reported, the average weight
being nearly 10 pounds greater than
those taken in 1898.
The report shows falling off in the
number of cases of salmon canned dur
ing the past season on the Columbia as
compared with 1898. This is in part
accounted for by the increased number
OF pounds of salmon handled by the
cold-storage concerns.

JEFFERSON M. LEVY.
The New York Congressman Who Owns

New York, April 1.-(Special)- matter
whatever else may be said about Tammany
Hall, that organization deserves unlimited
praise for the manner in which 1t has rails
ed the standard of the men who it now
sends to congress. Tammany now controls
every congressman from Greater New
York.
When the county Cor Cleveland) democ-

mel of the New York delegation is a dis
grace" They were noted for their ignor-
ance, and indeed achieved some national
notoriety on this fact alone. Since Tam
many has undivided power there are no
more John Morrisseys, Jim O'Brens and
Tim" Campbells.
For several years Tammany has kept
one man in congress of whom she is right
ly very proud. He Is the Hon. Amos J.
Cummings, one of the greatest journalists
of his time. He will be reinforced in the
next congress by a number of other able
men whom Tammaney mas selected. First
of these is the Hon. Jefferson NJ. Levy, the
owner of Monticello Another is William
Astor Chandler, who distinguished himself
upon the staff of General Joe" Wheeler
in Cuba.
Democrats everywhere feel that Con-
gresham Jefferson M. Levy will do them
proud. A man who has spent such large
sums in paying honor to the memory of
Jefferson, such as maintaining Monticello,
is made of the right kind of democratic
material. Admiral Levy originally bought
Monticello and it as thus handed down to
his heir jefferson M.
Congressman Levy come from an old
southern family, and is interested in a
large number of enterprises in Alabama.
He has great faith in Birmingham and
says he expects to attend the celebration
here next May. Mr.. Levy is one of the
rich men of New York, being considered
the most extensive dealer in real estate in
the metropolis. He controls several large
financial institutions, and as a legislator
Will act from the standpoint of a thorough

moment were to be arranged and probably
will be arranged Monday. The other rail-
roads will have to pro rate with the Biz
mingham Southern on southern and west
ern shipments from the Ensley plants on
fifty-mile basis, and this had to be ar

matters are of great Importance to all the
