'I'n never say another word about

the west. I'm never talk about the
charm of the convent bred young wo-
man. I've lost my last illusion. and
one of the prettiest young women in
Washington acted as iconoclast for
my benefit. She is more than pretty.
She has look of being somebody, and
she is somebody. She belongs in the
diplomatic corps.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent. J
May 18Th, 1899.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Extra SEES.
sion talk is much less positive than
it was a week ago. But this is prob
ably accounted for by the absence OF
the President and the few Senators
and Representatives at present in
Washington, rather than by any
lesSening of the probabilities for an
extra session. Some men who ought
to know say that an extra session
will depend upon how soon Gen. Otis
can force Aguinaldo to surrender
he is now trying to DO some more
negotiating. They argue that the
President cannot determine what to
recommend in the way of Cougres-
sional Legislation for the Philippines
until we have peaceable control of
the islands, and hat he will not cali
congress i'll extra session unless he
sees his way clear 20 making such
recommendation. But without con-
sidering the PHILIPPINES at all. there
are strong reasons in favor Of Con-
gress meeting a month or two earlier
than usual. 1t will be at least a
month after Congress meets before
the House Committees will be ap-
pointed, owing to the election of a
new Speaker; and next year being
Presidential year, the politicians, re-
CARELESS of party would like to have
Congress adjourn before the National
Conventions are held. This it can
scarcely do, if it does not get down
to business before the last Of January.
No idea has been received so en-
Enthusiastically in Washington, for a
long time, as that for the purchase
of a home for Admiral Dewey, at the
Capital, by popular sub
scription. Everybody is in favor of
it, and everybody expresses a desire
contribute. When Admiral Dewey
arrives in the L. S., which he SAYS
will be in about four months, he will
probably have performed his last sea
iuty. From hal time, until his
his duty as the ranking officer
the Navy will be performed in ,
Washington. lie has no means /
'ther than his salary, which would !

WI give in another column the
action of Judge Miller on the water
works case last week, and the present
status of that question. This is a
very grave matter to the citizens of
our town, and no mistake should be
made at this time. We think the
attorneys for the town and citizens
have done the best that could be
done under the circumstances, and
they have obtained an agre ement
from the Glamorgan Company that
is liberal and fair. $25, 600 is a low
price for the property offered under
any circumstances. We cannot af-
ford to lose our water supply for
vastly more than that sum. AS a
business proposition, there are about
1000 tons of pipe in the system here,
which experts say could be marketed
at the present time and give a net
return of a good deal more than $685.
