1t has already been announced in several
Democratic newspapers that the Democratic
leaders Will attempt 'tO make political capital
in the next campaign of the failure Of the Leg
slature to pass Senator McCarter's Track Ele-
vaton BILL" and that the Republicans will be
held accountable" There will probably be more
cry than wool as the result Of this attempt.
The affirmative vote the bill in the Senate Qt
did not get to the House, cast by four Re
publicans and four Democrats. In the negative
two Democrats Joined the Republicans against
the bill. The whole vote stood twelve votes
against and eight votes for the measure. The
Democrats according to representation, were
about equally divided with the Republicans. "A
different cause" says Parson Sly, the same
effect may give" But in this the cause
and the effect appear to have been more SYM
pathetic than political.

His friends have been anxious to know about it, but Nit is reticent. It was a feline of the feminine gender and bob tailed. He has sent the skin, which is a beauty, to taxidermist in Denver, to have it mounted, and he will then start zoo in connection with his large and profitable laundry business, with "Long Tom" as manager of both departments. On this famous hunt Nit took all the cats and Kid Kline bagged all the birds and cotton tails.

FOOD TO BE SENT TO INDIA
STEPS FOR THE RELIEF OF THE
FAMINE STRICKEN.
The Navy Department Preparing to
Ship Goods ON q Vessel Author
ised by Congress.

The Navy Department is moving with the
greatest energy to do its part toward the
relief of the fanine-stricken people of In
dia. DR.. Lewis Klopsch of the Christian
Herald has notified the department that he
has succeeded in collecting a large supply
Of food stuffs, mainly corn, for the famine
sufferers, and has appealed to the depart
ment to transport this supply to India.
Mr.. Charles Pepper was at the Navy De-
partment yesterday to urge speedy action
in the matter. and with success.
In 1897 the Navy Department was au-
thorized by Congress to charter two vessels
to convey to India the food stuffs collected
by private contribution at New York and
San Francisco. The San Francisco stock
was forwarded in a chartered vessel. The
New York stock, owing to the difficulty of
securing suitable ship, was not forwarded,
but was sold and the proceeds in money
were sent to India. The question to be de-
termfned was whether the department is
still at liberty to charter a ship at New
York. The controller Of the treasury held
that the department was still at liberty to
do this II the same famine which caused
the passage OF the original resolution con-
! tinued. This question Of fact was referred
to the State Department. and Secretary Hay
replied that the reports of United States
consuls in India testified to the continuance
of the famine.
Thereupon yesterday, by direction of
Acting Secretary Allen, Judge Advocate
General Lemly telegraphed Pay Director
Denniston. in charge of the naval pay office
at New York. to proceed with dispatch to
ascertain the terms upon which he could
charter vessel to carry out to India the
food stuffs which had been collected at
New York. He was told to secure tenders
from owners of both steamships and sail
ing vessels, though probably a steamer
would be preferred. DR.. Klopsch was also
telegraphed to put himself In cemmunica-
tion with the pay officer to forward the

PRINCIPAL TOPICS.
Schools and Streets Discussed by Mt
Pleasant Citizens.

Public schools and street extensions
formed the principal topics of discussion
at the regular monthly meeting last even
ing Of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton. The meeting was held at the STRAIT
ford Hotel. 14th street above Park, the
president of the organization, Mr.. H. H.
Twonlbly. presiding.
After Mr.. John Mcdonald had been elect
ed member of the association, the pro-
posed extension Of 14th street from Ly-
decker avenue to Spring road, was dis
cussed. the hope being expressed by those
present that not only will Congress au-
thorize the extension, but that 1t will also
require the Capital Traction Company to
extend its 14th street line to Spring road,
ard by means of a loop return through
western portion of Holmead Manor.
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, referring to the ex-
tension Of 18th street, stated that the liti-
cation which has delayed the institution of
the condemnation proceedings will probably
be SO settled in a few days that the secur-
ing of the required 10 Der cent dedication
will be obtained.
Mr.. j. W. Somerville spoke OF the pro-
posed widening OF Columbia road between
18th and 18th streets. stating that the re-
quired legislative authority will undoubtedly
be secured in a short time. At Mr.. Somer-
villes request the secretary of the associa-
ton was directed to again ask the District
commissioners TO erect two or three lamps

Mr.. Chaplin Brown called attention to the
provision in the pending District appropria-
ton act for the appointment by the Presi-
dent of the United States Of the members
of the proposed new school board. Fol-

| believing the school board should be ap.

said, he favors the proposed legislation
| and he moved that the association ask Con
! gress to authorize the District Commission

Mr.. Sonervtlle seconded the motion, bu

CROP CONDITIONS.
Summary of Reports Sent to the
Weather Bureau.

The weather bureau has issued the fol-
lowing summary Of crop conditions:
The general absence of rain, with mild
temperature conditions, over the northern
districts from Montana and Wyoming east
ward to the Atlantic coast, including the
lower Missouri and central Mississippi val
leys, was favorable for farming operations.
The season, however, continues late in the
lower lake region, middle Atlantic states
and New England, the northern portion of
the last named district being still covered
with unusual depths of snow. The weather
has been too cool for best results in the
south Atlantic and gulf states, and heavy
rains have proved destructive in Texas.
The week has also been abnormally cool In
the southern plateau region and California
where more or less damaging frosts have
occurred. Frosts also occurred as far
south as the Carolinas Georgia and the
central gulf states. causing no material
damage, except in the Carolinas.
From Kansas and Missouri southwark
corn planting is unusually well advanced
and Ia progressing rapidly, planting being
nearly finished in Oklahoma and southern
Kansas the early planting being UP as fa1
and Kansas. Some corn has been planted
in southern Illinois and Tennessee and
North Carolina, but none has been planted
further northward in the districts east OF
the Mississippi. Poor stands are reported
from portions Of Georgia and Mississippi
good stands being reported from Alabama
and Texas. In the Iast-named state, how
ever, much damage has been done by wash.
ing rains.
Very unfavorable reports as to winter
wheat are received from Michigan, Indiana
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In In.
diana and Ohio much will be plowed up fol
| other crops, and in eastern Kansas anC
| Illinois it is suffering for rain. In Ne,
| braska Kansas and Missouri, and from
| Oklahoma and Texas eastward over the
! lower Mississippi valleys to the Atianti,
| coast the condition Of winter wheat is very
| promising, Tennessee reporting the bes
prospect In years. On the Pacific coast the
| condition of winter wheat Is generally ex

| Spring wheat seeding is in general pro

REQUIRES EARLY ACTION.
Emergency Appropriations Favore,
by River and HarbOr Committee

Emergency Appropriations Favored
by River and Harbor Committee.
The river and harbor committee deter
mined on several questions Of general policy
yesterday regarding emergency work that
requires early attention. 1t was decided 10
recommend an emergency appropriation not
exceeding s5OOOO0, to be expended by the
chief of engineers. Gen. Wilson, for the
channels Of navigable streams, which have
been choked with rock, proving a menace to
river traffic, as in the case of the Shrews-
bury river, near Long Branch
The committee also considered the advisa-
bility of recommending amounts for not ex-
ceeeding three places where the needs are
exceptional and even critical. viz, the South
pass of the Mississippi. the connecting wa
ters between Lakes Huron and Superior
and the Columbia river, Oregon. The south
pass emergency work could be cseied on
for about $15O,OOO. and would not involve
the whole project. The work Of the lakes
contemplates new channel by way of
Lake ST. George, to relieve the congestion
on the present Sault Ste. Marie channels.
