POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP

New Chnirmanship for BabcocL.-
Representative Babcock of Wisconsin,
| Chairman of the Committee on District OF
Columbia in the last Congress. viii not. in
/ all probability, occupy that position dur
ing the coming session. If he chose to do
so he could undoubtedly remain at the
head OF the District Committee as long as
General Henderson occupies the chair, as
/ ne IS credited with being one of the CHIEF
actors IN the work that made clear the
path OF the Iowa man 10 the Speakership.
/ But the Wisconsin man is ambitious to be
! at the head OF committee that viii re-
heve him Of much of the hard work he
( has endured as Chairman of the District
committee. and at the same time give him

national in scope. He has already public
I ly announced his intention TO retire from
the District Committee. il is said and de-
slreS to become Chairman Of the Commit
/ tee on Banking and Currency. The chances
/ favor his getting that which is his choice.
! In the first place MIR. Bab-ock's close
friendship with the Speaker to-b be. and his
efforts in turning the tide in his favor
soon after it was announced that Speaker
Reed was TO retire from Congress, would
! naturally permit him to pick out some
pretty good thing in the distribution CT
the plums. Moreover, Mr. BabcOck was
colleague of General Henderson on the
special committee to form currency
/ scheme which met last summer at Atlantic
City, and took a great interest in that
work. 1t is understood that General Hem
. derson and Mr.. BabCock were in thorough
accord with regard to plans for legislation.
Mr.. Babcock was one of those mainly in
strumentaI in keeping the extreme views
of the Indianapolis Monetary Conference
from being accepted by the special Con-
gressional committee. He also secured
letters from bankers throughout the West,
setting forth what details were essential in
general currency scheme, in their Opin-
ion, and in other ways went eXhaustively
into the subject. 1t is known that Mr..
Babcock's tastes lead him in the direction
Of the committee that viii have most TO
do with currency legislation. during a ses-
sion in which that subject will be one of
the most important before Congress. Rep
resentaiive McCleary of Minnesota and
Representative Fowler OF New Jersey have
been mentioned in connection with the
Craftsmanship of the Committee on Banks
ing and Currency, but those who know
most about the situation believe it will
be Babcock.

The Caucus Way Dccidc.-There is a
possibility that the financial scheme OF the
special Congressional committee may not
be referred to the Committee on Banking
and Currency, but that action upon it may
be taken instead by the House Republican
caucus a bill would in that case be
framed by the caucus and formally intro
duced in the House as a party measure.
Either that or the matter OF a currency
bill would be referred 10 another special
committee, composed, perhaps, Of some
of those who participated in the delibera-
tions at Atlantic City, which would in turn
report bill back TO the caucus, based on
such lines OF revision as might be decided.
This manner OF providing a currency
bill is purely a possibility as many think
that the matter VIII surely go through the
regular channel OF the Committee on
Banking and Currency. But there is much
talk supporting the plan indicated above,
IN any event IL is probable that Speaker
Henderson viii see TO it that the Iegu ar
committee is constructed so that the views
Of the special Congressional committee,
which is TO report are represented by il.
1t is thought that he may change the per
sonnel of the old Committee on Banking
and Currency materially in order 70
obviate the clashing between members Of
opposing ideas that has bsen a f=ature on
he majority side Of the committee in the
past.

What expansion is doing for the coun-
try has pointed illustration in the report
Of the British Inspector General Of Chi
nese Customs. It appears that while, dur
ing the year eighteen hundred and ninety
eight, the general imports Of The En-
pire only increased five per cent
those from the United States increased
forty per cent, nearly all after the capture
Of Manila, which gained respect for this
country throughout the Orient that It had
never before enjoyed.

When the door was unlocked and her
breakfast brought in on the following
morning, Mabel saw with glad surprise
that her jailer was now the man whom
she had recognized as Robert King; and
to her surprise he continued to act o.
such for the next few days. She tried
TO get him to talk, but Robert was wary
and would not enter into CONVERSATION.

The Manufacture of SOAP.

In the production Of the well known
English hard soaps of high repute the
manufacturers use hard animal or vege-
table fats and weak solutions of soda,
these being generally boiled together I'M
ill the thin paste is saponifed, when the
soap and the glycerin remain suspended
in the water. and they are next sepa-
rated by brine or common salt, in which
soap Is not soluble. Any excess Of alkali,
all the glycerin and the water combine
with the salt and so throw the soap up
TO the top in graduated mass. The
spent I've containing the glycerin is with
drawn through tap placed at the bot
tom of the boiler, and the soap curd,
after being melted, may be run direct
into wooden or iron frames to cool and
harden, or it may he further treated with

Dolly took the bad news quietly
enough. She heard what Guthrie had
to tell her about the hopelessness Of
trying to escape via the roof. Then she
remarked philosophically that it could
not be helped. They must just discover
some other way out.
"Theres no earthly use in our staying
here any longer, You know" she added.
"Ws've discussed Nicholas the First
and his doings with the most compre-
hensive fullnsss, and as he hasn't left
me any legacy worth carrying away I
admit that my interest in the Sinful old
flibuster has quite evaporated Besides,
