ORATORS IN CONGRESS
{From Ainslee's Magazinc.)

THE most finished orator in the
House of Representatives Is Cousins. of
Iowa. He has been in Congress now
for four terms. and in the eight wears
of his Congressional career he has
made two speeches. Yet. so fine were
they that his reputation on account of
them is national One was half an
hour in length 1t was a witty and ell
oquent criticism of Ambassador BAY
ard. at the time Bayard was making
himself unpopular by his pro English
remarks at London dinners. The other
was less than five minutes long. and
was spoken after the destruction of
the Maine. Cousins sat silent in his
place for one full term before he ever
opened his mouth. 1t is more than two
years now since he last spoke. When
he takes the floor again he will have
an attentive audience.
THE most effective orator In the
House up to the time he was trans
ferred to the Senate n little while ago
was Dolliver of Iowa. Littleneld. of
Maine: Lands, Of Indiana. and Bailey,
OF Texas. are three who have the ora
torical gift.
"In order to gain conspicuous po-
sition either in the House or in the
Senate. man must generally be a
good talller. But 1t does not always
follow that the silent men are without
influence"

PREPARING A FRANCHISE
To Govern Interurban Companies En-.
tering the City-City Affairs.

It will be several days before City At
torney Kern finishes his blanket franchise
for the interurban electric lines. He said
last night the franchise will probably
be submitted to the Board of Public Works
early next week. In all probability the
contracts which will be made with the
interuroan lines will not permit the COM
panies to charge five-cent fare in Indian
apolis, as their representatives have asked
permission to do so. They will be governed
by the same kind of a contract under
which the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company operates, and will have to sell
tickets to Indianapolis local passengers
the same the Indianapolis company
does. One question which is perplexing to
the city attorney and the Board of Works
is the transfer system. They have not as
yet decided whether to compel the inter-
urban lines to run under an interchange
able transfer system in the city.
Mr.. Kern says he has not fully decided
where to draw the line in the handling Of
freight by the interurban companies. The
members of the Board of Works realize
that these companies will be beneficial
to Indianapolis merchants and much
privilege as possible will no doubt be ac-
corded to the interurban companies. The
question of revenue to the city from these
companies is also to be decided by the
city attorney and the Board of Works.

THE PLAGUE AT ROSARIO
1T TENDS To STRENGTHEN THE CHI
CAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Corn Firm Small offerings, but
visions Fraction Advanced.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The wheat market
was firm to-day, mainly helped by con-
firmation of rumors OF plague at Rosario
May closing a shade over yesterday at &C.
Corn and oats closed each a shade up
and provisions 50121sc better
Quiet prevailed in the wheat pit through
out the session. Confirmation of the
rumored presence of the plague in Rosario
was the chief support, giving the mar
ket a tone of firmness. The cold weather
West and the steadiness of cables
were contributory elements in the
steadiness. Liverpools advance early
was largely a factor in the initial gain
here. May opened Ac over yesterday. The
entire range was narrow. May selling be-
tween 6714c and 667sc, closing a shade up
at &C. Cash people reported a better in
quiry. but no business transacted. The ex-
port business was stagnant. New York re-
ported five loads taken for export and the
seabOard reported clearances in wheat and
-four equal to go, 900 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 10000 bushels, compared with
1000 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 261 cars, against 2S2 last week and
4S9 year ago. Receipts here were % cars.
one of contract grade.
The corn market was dull and save for a
momentary dip firm. Light receipts and
small country offerings, with some SYM
pathy with wheat were the influences. The
shipping demand from New York was slow
but improved from Philadelphia and Balti-
more. Receipts here were 1872 cars. May
ranged from 330331sc to 33Ac, closing a
shade up at 3Si4c.
Oats were dull and firm without much
feature There was some buying by East
ern cash handlers against other sales. The
cash business received a temporary check
by the advance of 19c in the relative cash
price on export oats, holders raising their
price on account of small receipts. Re-
ceipts here were 1S9 cars May ranged from
231sc to 233sc and closed a shade improved
at 232sc.
The provisions market, after a consid-
cradle period of dullness and depression,
turned fairly active and firmed up. The
opening was a shade up because hog re-
ceipts were under the estimate, but this
was soon displaced by a feeling of east
ness. commission houses selling lard and
ribs on a moderate scale. Later In the ses-
sion influential buying by houses which
had been selling caused reaction which
lasted to the end Of the session. May pork
