DEWEY ARCH PLANS FAIL.
COMMITTEE ABANDONS THE PROJECT
TO PERPETUATE 1T.

The executive committee in charge of the
project for perpetuatins the Dewey arch dis
banded yesterday, after considering several
plans which were presented and rejecting each
one as not feasible to carry out. The vote taken
to disband ends the project. and with the re-
moval Of the temporary arch in Madison Square
now proceeding rapidly the eitys glorious tri5-
ute to the hero Of Manila Bay will remain but
memory
All the money subscribed to the fund for the
perpetuation OF the arch will be returned dollar
for dollar 70 the subscribers The cash amounts
to $4,000 and the pledges to S135.OO0 The ex-
penses of the committee of about $4,000. will
not be deducted from the sum subscribed. but
will be contributed by the members of the COM
mittee II is expected that it will require
months time to return the money and settle up
affairs.
When the money is returned 10 the subscribers
the committee will request the subscribers TO
turn it over to the Sailors Home. in the Brook
lyn Navy Yard for the of enlisted men,
The committee voted to make this request at
the instance OF Rear-Admiral Barker and Cap
tain Taylor. who appeared at the meeting yes
terday to present the cause of the Home.
Before disbandiny. however. the Tembers OF
the committee discussed every feasible method
by which the work could prohtably be carried
on. None OF these satisfactory. plan
to rebuild the arch was received from the
Henry-Bennard Bronze Company which offered
to build the entire arch its own responsibility
all the work to be done under the supervision
of the committee. The company proposed to
raise the funds necessary beyond the amount
already collected under special contract. and
as compensation. asked 10 per cent of all funds
so collected. to be paid over at the time the
money handed to the committees treas
urer. Tho committee. by this plan. would have
been freed from all financial responsibility, but
a subcommittee was TO be appointed to super
intend the work of the company and its hlan-
cial agents Ein. KitsOn K Co, the builders
said to be also interested in this plan.
The plan to perpetuate the arch in terra
Gotta was considered impractiCable. Granite
and marble considered too expensive.

Charles H. Nicoll appointed a sub-cOm-
mittee to close up the affairs of the committee

| CONGRESS MEETS AGAIN
MANY IMPORTANT MEASURES
AWAITING ACTION.
MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSES APPROACH
THEIR TASKS IN A SPIRIT OF
COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE.
IBY TELEcRArH TO rnE rn1EUxE.I


Washington, Dec. 3-The LvIth Congress be-
gan it's final session to-day with a tranquil sense
of power and confidence. In both branches the
prevailing spirit was one Of sober and settled
optimism The work OF the long session had
been submitted to the people. and the verdict
which had been returned at the polls had been
one of emphatic and undeniabIe approval The
Republican majority in the lower house had
been more than doubled, and Republican control
in he Senate had been fortified and intrenched
against all possible assaults for at least four
or six years to come II was only to be ex-
pected. therefore, that the returning member5
Of both branches should take up the work of
the new session with interest and cheerfulness.
Such spirit will find ample scope to impress
itself on the labors to be accomplished before
the winter session ends. For few Congresses
have on reassembling found so much important
legislation awaiting enactment The appropra-
ton bills alone are almost q sufficient burden
for a short session Yet the Eouse and the
Senate have cut out for them by popular ex-
pectation a multiplication OF other tasks. To
reorganize the Army on basis OF permanency,
to reduce the internal revenue taxes. to reap
portion representation in the House and in the
Electoral College. to revive the merchant marine
and to brush aside the remaining obstacles TO
the construction of trans-Isthmian canaI-these
are some of the varied measures to which Con-
gress is to turn it's hand in the short ten weeks
Of a concluding session.
Courage and confidence are themselves a long
step toward fuIhlment Of the labors to which
the two houses consider themselves pledged. and
it is encouraging TO find these qualities abun-
dently in evidence in both branches at the very
outset of what promises to be a hard race
against the Obstructions OF parliamentary prae
tice as well as the inevitable fight Of time.
