Washington, Jan. 26.-The Tou:i1

work of the present week as there are
no measures of Importance pressing
for attention, though the anti -oleomar-
garine bill and the Hill bill for the
exchangeability of gold and silver are
both on the calendar and may be taken
up before long. Thus far no exact
time has been fixed for either of these
measures and the lesser bills will take
their chances as opportunity presents
itself.
There promises to be considerable
time to spare during the week as there
are no appropriation bills ready to ill
the gap when bills Of a general nature
are lacking.
The chief interest Of the week cen
ters in the opening of hearings BY tho

BOOTHBAY'S ELECTRIC ROAD.
Thought That the Damariscotta Mills Route
Will Be Selected.

Boothbay Harbor, Jan. 26.--A gen.
ernl idea seems to prevail among the
business men here that the location
and route of the proposed electric rail-
road is by no means settled.
Although statements have been
made that the Wiscasset route had
been decided upon the statement can
not be verified and some of those most
Interested still are firm in the belief
that the route running up through
I,oothbay. Edgecomb to Newcastle and
there connect with the Maine Central,
is the one which will finally be decided
upon.
one reason for this is that there is
mower at pamariscotta mills which will
supply the power station of the road
1T a very small cost and therefore
cheaper the running expense of the
line.
Another important reason is that the
Wiscasset will require an extensive
bridge even if built along side the pres
emf toll bridge which Will not only be
very expensive TO construct the har-
hor ut that point requiring bridge
1900 feet, but that the expense OF
maintaining such a bridge would in a
few years amount to large item as
piling driven in salt water in that To-
c:,l!ty are soon destroyed by worms and
must after short time be replaced
by sound ones.
There are various other important
reasons given for the route mentioned
which will. it is maintained by many
make that the most feasible.

Packers are Alarmed.

Chicago, May Limited States
District Attorney Bethea arrived
here from Washington this morning
in advance of the bill that is to he
filed to obtain an injunction against
the alleged beef trust.
Mr. Bethea left Washington after
being informed by the attorney gen.
eral that the bill drawn in Chicago
would be filed as formulated with the
exception OF few minor changes, The
instrument will contain allegations
that tie six big packing houses of
this city, together with branches
throughout the country, have com
bined unlawfully to raise the prices,
manipulate the markets, and aided
by the transportation companies,
have produced circumstances that
enable packers to squeeze the market
at will.
An interesting feature of the bill is
that it may he construed so ms to ef-
feet the confscation of all meats and
stock shipped by the trust under an
alleged illegal arrangement. Millions
of dollars worth of packing house
products are rendered liable to con-
fiscation. This new and alarming
phase of prosecution caused much
excitement among the packers and
it is expected they will begin to sun
load" all meats shipped under their
arrangement so nothing can be left
for confiscation.

RABBIS HOLD COUNCIL.
Transfer of Jewish Sabbath to Chris
tian Sunday Taken Up.

New Orleans, La, May THE
conference OF American rabbis to-day
took up the question of the transfer
ence of the Jewish Sabbath to the
Christian Sunday, a topic of intense
interest to every Jew in the United
States. There was much nervous
tension exhibited by the members OF
the conference while the subject was
under discussion. A strong tendency
developedin favor of such transfer,
but the opponents OF the idea were
many, the adherents of the old Mo-
sale Sabbath holding that such a
move would be a blow at the funda
mental principles OF the Hebraic
faith, a recognition Of the resurrec-
ton. There was not speaker who
did not admit the practical non.ob-
servance Of the historical Sabbath Of
Israel by her sons, declaring that the
men left the women and children to
observe the day. Strong pleas were
made for the revival OF the Sabbath's
significance, the keynote of the
speeches being either revive the Sab.
bath or transfer it to Sunday.
A dozen addresses by prominent
rabbis from all over the country were
heard, but so important is the mat
ter that tomorrow afternoon was
set aside for further expressions, ant
+ a decision as to what is best in thu
premises may not be reached for sew
eral days.
