CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS
THE MINORITY REPRESENTATIVES,
AGREE on A POLICY.
Attitude on Liquidation Against the
Trusts-Favor Reduction of War
Taxes Before Adjournment.

The democrats Of the House held caucus
last night to consider the minority policy
with relation to the reduction of war taxes
and the trust legislation proposed by the re-
publcans.
About eighty members were present, and
after considerable discussion, which dis
closed differences of opinion as to the pol
Icy to be pursued, the following resolutions
proposed by Mr.. Ball of Texas with refer
ence to trust legislation, We're adopted:
On Trust Legislation.
Resolved, That the democratic caucus
indorses the substitute and amendment Of
II. r. 10539 (known as the Littlefeld bilD
presented by Judge Terry on behalf Of the
solid democratic minority of the judiciary
committee We believe that the adoption
of this drastic provision will demonstrate
the power of Congress to DESTROY combina-
tons, monopo,ies and consultations of cor
porations, Familiarity called trusts.
- Should this provision fail of adop-
ton. either by vote or such arbitrary rules.
adopted by majority, as prevent their
fair consideration, then the Littlefeld bill
should be voted for. While not satisfac-
tory to the democratic minority. and not
likely to remedy the trust evil, this bill does
make an effort in the direction of harassins
and outlawing these enemies Of the pub
lie, and democrats are not willing to vote
down any measure tending to that end.
80. We oppose and urge democrats in
Congress to vote against the constitutional
amendment, proposed by the republican
majority of the judiciary committee. unless
amended by striking out section l thereof.
and adding thereto in section in lieu of
these words. The several states may con-
tinue to exercise such power in any man
ner not in conflict with the laws of the
United States the following: Nothing in
this article nor any act of Congress in pur-
suance thereof. shall operate to abridge or
impair any Of the rights or powers. held by
any of the states prior to its adoption
The section l referred to provides that
"all powers conferred by this article shall
extend to the several states. territories, the
District of Columbia, and all territory un-
der the sovereignty of and subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States.'
Reducing the War Taxes.
With reference to the reduction of war
taxes the following resolution offered by
Mr.. Richardson was adopted:
Whereas there Is known to be large
and growing surplus in the treasury, over
and above the necessities Of the govern
ment, arising from the taxes levied and
collected under the war tax act of 1888;
therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the reduction
of the taxes provided for in said act, and
we do not think the present session of Con-
gress should adjourn until said taxes shall
have been repealed as to certain articles
and reduced as to Others until there is
total reduction in the aggregate of at least
30 per centum.
I'VE pledge ourselves at all times to sup
port any measure or measures providing for
such reduction.

heating CapabllltIes OF Wood.

From time immemortal soft wood
has been regarded as comparatively
valueless for heating purposes. Hard
wood has brought high prices and has
been in much greater demand than
soft, on account Of this generally pre-
vailing notion. Experiments with
woods Of various sorts have demon
strated that the linden, which is one OF
the softest of woods, gives the greatest
amount Of heat. The value Of other
woods in their order, as ascertained, is
as follows: Fir with 099 heating
power; next follow the elm and pine
with O.98; willow. chestnut and larch
with O.97; maple, spruce and fir with
096; black poplar with 095; alder and
white birch with O.94 only; then comes
the hard oak with 092; the locust and
the white beech with 091, and the red
beech with 09O. Hence hard wood
heats the least" It is one of the re-
markabe facts of the day that so many
theories that have been held for many
years are fast giving way before the
critical analysis of science.

Women and Fnrestrr.

The lovers Of trees will all be glad
that young women in colleges are TAX
ing lessons in forestry. Report says
that in the University of Washington,
at Seattle. sixty young women have
taken the lectures in forestry during
the last four years; eleven have done
the same thing in the University of
Nebraska. In the college of forestry
at Cornell the courses are strictly pro.
fessional, and are intended for the in
struction and training of managers of
forest properties. While no women
have been admitted 90 that depart
ment, a special course designed to
give general information on the sub
iect is open to them, and interest is
growing iD it.

Between Two queens.

II is said that young Queen Wilhel-
nina has offended her friend, Queen
Victoria. She has espoused the side
of the Beers and made indiscreet re-
marks about the English. Wilhel-
nina is warm hearted, impetuous and
very fond of Wilhelmina's way. Queen
Victoria has written her many letters
of affectionate advice, and when urged
TO marry Wilhelmina has found it con-
venient to quote the Queen of Eng
land. who reigned several years as a
virgin Queen. But Wilhelmina has
not accepted the many invitations of
Victoria to go to Windsor on visit.
She has replied evasiyely and put off
the visit each time it was proposed.
The great lady of Windsor has never
been treated in such a manner before,
and she has known four generations
of European potentates. As her
majesty grows older she becomes more
and more particular about the OBJ
servance of all rules of etiquette. and
she is panied and surprised at
the modern independence Of the youth
full Queen of the Netherlands. But
Wilhelmina is neither a grandchild of
Victoria nor scion Of the house Of
Hanover, 80 she cannot be scolded -

FrilIs Of Fashlon.

Belt buckles covered with suede in
its natural color, and ornamented
with steel, jet or turquoise, are one OF
the novelties.
1t is said that in England KHAKI
cloth has attained considerable promi
nence as q fabric for fashioning almost
everything, from slippers to costumes.
A freak of fancy or fashion, as the
case may be, is hand-painted flowers
on gauze, silk and suede, all of which
are used for trimming gowns and hats
as well.
The new hats show very decided
crowns, more or less high. Plated
straws are in evidence, and choux OF
tulle, wings, fruit and flowers arc
favorate decorations.
Heliotrope and pale blue are colorE
that have been seen in combination
for some time, and in the latest hats
pink in pale shade is seen combined
with the other two colors.
Among the foreign novelties shown
in the shops is line of illuminated
silk and wool crepon effects. There
are two designs in six colors, anil in
every instance the black yarn is
thrown to the surface to produce
crepon effect.
One of the things which may be at
tached to the neck chain or chatelaine
is a gold buttonhook for gloves. The
new ones open aud close like pocket
knife, and when handsomely engraved
or studded with jewels are both ele-
CANT and costly.
Among the novelties in silks that
have met with favor are satin Liber-
ties printed in Persian designs of
pastel coloring, Foulards have not
lost ground, and bid fair to score the
success that was predicted for them at
the opening of the season.
Many new crepe ties are in, in all
the different shades--pink, blue, red,
white and heliotrope. Some of them
are fringed, some appliqued with lace,
and some embroidered, while others
are hemstitched. The white, pink
and blue will wash well, and possibly
the other shades.
The new jackets are very short and
finished with rows of stitching or very
narrow piping with stitching above.
Some of them are double-breastcd,
with handsome buttons for finish.
Eaton coats are shaped down below
the waist line in front and arc quito
short in the back.
Pretty silk waists, not intended for
the tub, come in plaids, divided by
Valenciennes lace insertion; in white
and pale blue, embroidered with
black spots, and in almost as great
variety Of designs as the more elab.
crate separate waists that have been
worn throughout the winter.
Women who have long necks will
certainly welcome the latest fashion
which, by the way, is only the re-
vival of fashion which was in vogue
many years ago-of wearing a velvet
neckband; the wider it Is the better,
30 it is understood that, at the present
the longer your neck the
better. These neckbanks frequently
match the dress with which they are
worn, but in many cases they are Of
black velvet.
