Legislation That will be Favored and
The Part Of II That will be Fought
Senator jones Talks OF the Party,s
Policies During the Coming Session

This is the Democratic program In
the coming session of Congress-
Determined opposition 60 large

store order In the Philippines, but no
regular army for the suppression OF
strikes and labor troubles.
Opposition to the Hanna shipping
subsidy bill and all other schemes by
which corporations seek To get their
hands into the treasury.
Solid support for the construction
OF Niearaguan canal TO be built,
owned, controlled and protected by
the Government for the use OF the
world in time OF peace and for the
protection of the United States In the
time Of war.
The rejection OF the Hay paunce-
fore treaty, which seeks TO make
Great Brltaid partner In the 18TH
milan canal as a condition precedented
to authority TO It's construction.
Watehfulness in the matter of ap-
preparations and the prevention OF ex-
cesses by party run mad with the
dream OF empire.
Reduction of the taxes imposed as a
result OF the war with Spain, so as to
relieve the burdens that we imposed
upon the masses Of the people.
A demand that solemen pledge
made to the world on behalf of Cuba
prior TO the Spanish war shall be re-
deemed aud that the island be per-
ment without interference by the Uni
ted States.
The enactment OF re-apportion-
ment bill provided by the Constitution
that shall deal Justly with all the
States mo reduction OF the represent
tation from the Southern States.
Senator James X. Jones. chairman
of the Democratic National commit
tee reached Washington last night.
lie has discussed the attitude the DEM
ocrats will assume during the coming
session and u general plan OF proceed
ure as indicated above, has been de-
termined upon. The Democratic
steering committee, when 1t meets In
a few days, will take up and undoubt-
eddy approve OF the program.
One OF the foremost measures be-
fore the Senate from Mr.. Jones' point
of view is the bill for the construction
OF the Nicaraguan canal. lie favors
that bill and opposes with vehemence
the ratification Of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty.
1.-THE canal bill, y said Mr.. Jones,
fought to be passed and the canal
must be built, owned, controlled and
protected by the United States. The
death OF Mr.. Huntington makes 1t
easier to pass proper bill than IL
would have had he lived. He was
opposed to the canal and had an in
fuence 1t was difficult for the friends
of the canal to overcome. The Hay
Pauncefore treaty, now pending In
the Senate is menace to the canal
bill. 1t Is absurd to say that this
Government cannot proceed with this
great work-spend its own money In
digging the ditch and protect it after
wards, without asking the consent OF
Great Britain

NEW LAW.
Which viii Reduce The Number OF
Saloons And Change the Manner of
Granting License.

1t developed Yesterday, says the
Wheeling Register, that among 9TH
er important business to be brought
to the attention of the Legislature
at the coming session will be bill
making a very radical change in the
method of granting liquor licenses
in at least the larger cities and
towns and most popnleus counties
OF the state. La general terms the
measure, rough draft Of which is
believed TO have been made, will
take such licenses out of the hands
of boards and commissioners, Coun-
ty Courts and city and town coun
ellis. and lodge the power in the
hands of Circuit or Criminal Judges
or both where there are Criminal
Courts, with restriction as to the
number OF such licenses which may
be granted, based upon population.
The proposed measure will thus
follow closely along the line of the
Pennsylvania law. which not only
restricts the number of saloons, but
provides for revocation of a license
granted for cause and for the per.
emptory refusal of an application.
The proposed new law will attract
wide attention, and this publication
of the probability of its presenta-
ton at Charleston will be read with
interest.

ing in the report but it is claimed
by those who repeat it that it comes
from an officer high in the guard.

PRECIOUS STONES SCARCE.

A report from London to the Manufact-
uring Jeweler says that all. gems and
precious stones are rising greatly I'm
price, and are likely TO advance stll
more. Scarcity OF supply is given as the
sole reason.
A Hatton Garden dealer said recently:
Diamonds have risen in most marked
fashion. From 40 to so per cent. increase
has taken place during the last three
years. and from 20 to 30 per cent. during
the past year
This Is not due to the war" said the
diamond dealer, ''and not altogether TO
the fact that the South African diamond
fields are under one control Diamonds are
really becoming more difficult TO get. Tie
cost of working is greater the stones are
of inferior quality and more widely scat
tered. The African deposits will not last
as long as people have imagined.
when they are exhausted where will
people go for more diamonds? Brazilian
and Australian stones are too hard to cut
profitably unless the price rises still high
er. AT present fine diamonds of fair size
are worth Ell carat. The price must go
10 els before we can afford to cut Aus
tralian stones"
The dealer unfolded paper after paper
of glittering gems, illustrating his theme
by comparison of past and present value.

peal to the people will excite all over the
