IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Mason's Resolution of Sympathy With
the TrensvnnI Republic Referred

Mason's Revolution of sympathy With
the TransvnnI Republic Referred
Washington, Dec. 12.-An appeal by
Mr.. Mason (Ills.) for expression OF
sympathy for the Transvaal Republic
in it's war with Great Britain was the
feature of the senate proceedings yes
terday. The resolution upon which
Mr.. Mason based his speech was re-
forred, at the conclusion of the address,
to the foreign relations committee,
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) considering it too
delicate q question to pass upon with
out serious consideration.
The feature of the opening day OF the
debate on the currency bill in the
house was the speech of Mr.. Dolliver.
of Iowa. Mr.. Dolliver declared that
s the last doubt in the Republican party
as to the wisdom of enacting the gold
standard into law had been dissolved
by the experience of the business world
during the past three years. He scored
Mr.. Bryan and generally ridiculed the
alleged false prophesies of the Demo
Gratis In 1896. Mr.. Dearmond (Mo.)
warned the western Republicans that
they could not deceive their constlt-
uents in the coming congressional
elections by claiming that they had
Welded to the wisdom of their col
leagues In caucus. AIr. Overstreet
Und.) opened the debate in support OF
the bill and Mr. Maddox (Ga.) replied
TO him. Mr.. Mcclellan On. W an
nounced his opposition to the bill on
the ground that it would contract the
currency. extinguish the bank notes
and enhance the value Of gold bonds.
Ne appealed to those of his Democratic
colleagues from New York who, it Is
reported, intend to vote for the bill,
not to do 80.

Pittsburg, Dec. 12.-That the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company will build
its immense s6,OOO,OOO plant on Ne
vile Island, suburb of this city,
is now settled fact. Yesterday
ground was broken for the first of the

chased tract of 400 acres on the ISL

the intention is to erect a plant Of
sufficient capacity to centralize all the
company's smaller plants, making OF
the island a small city in itself. When

ed connecting the island with the

WILLIAMS DETERMINATION.
German Emperor VIII Dissolve til,
Reichstng If Naval Bill Fails.


Reichstng If Naval Bill Fails.
Berlin, Dec 1.-THE reichstag pre-
sented a highly impressive spectacle
yesterday during the debate on the
estimates and the formal introduction
OF Emperor Williams new naval pro-
gram. When Count Won Buelow de-
clared that Germany did not desire to
pursue an aggressive, pyrotechnical
course, but was equally determined
not 10 be pushed aside politically or
commercially by other powers. and
never to allow an important interna-
tional question to be settled without
consulting her, there was an outbreak
OF spontaneous applause.
The opposition. which is apparently
stronger that had been expected, was
dumbfounded by the vigorous govern
ment onslaught After the adjourn
ment it was said in the lobby that the
emperor had given strict orders for
the dissolution of the reichstag should
the cabinet consider it unlikely that
the. bill would pass. Emperor Will
lam is confident that the proposal to
increase the strength of the navy is
popular with the electorate, and he be-
'lieves' that the new rechstag would
probably reflect this sentiment and
other national aims more accurately.

Square Garden concert hall meeting on
Dec. 4, in the interest of the Tuske-
gee Normal and Industrial Institute,
