Washington, April 3-AbSenteeis1n
in the present Senate has been notable.
lanes K; ION IS of Arkansas has been,
in Washington little during this session;
he has plenty of business at home TT,
ing to secure reelection. Mr.. Dan1ei OF
Virginia is another Senator who has
been here little, if any, this winter; 1t IS
understood that his absence IS due to
illness. Senator Mason spends halt his
time in WASHINGTON and the other halt
fn Illinois, looking after his political
fences Senator Clapp of Minnesota
has been in Florida during most OF the
important debates. Senator Quay has
not been present much; he lett Wash
iugton nearly four months ago for Flor
ida, and has spent most of the winter
there. He is very fond Of fishing, and
had rather sit in the sun waiting for
bite than to listen to speeches in the Be
nate. Some days ago he sent kilograms
to the Penn sylvania delegation IN the
House asking them to get together IN
support of conc ession to Cuba, and ne
is nov here to,see to the matter hlnlSeH.
The plan which started AT tns oeglh
ming Of the present session OF Con
gress as proposal that the President
Should recommend. and Congress create
a Department of Industries, seems to
have been revived within little while
in another form. The Department OF
Comm rec is in fair way to become
an accomplished fact; and in the course
of procuring the necessary legislation
for it, there has been shown a general
desire on the part of the scientific eX
perts in the Governments employ to
have their bureaus grouped somewhere
instead OF being scattered haphazaro
through several departments. There
will soon be an effort to attach to the
Department of Commerce Act a clause
giving the President authority TO trans
Ter from other paris of the service te
the Department of Agriculture, such
scientific bureaus as appear to his salts
faction to be cognate to the work O
the lastmentioned department. If this
is not done, it may be attempted to at
tach a paragraph authorizing a com
mission, consisting of one Senator ano
one Representative, and possiblx three

AMONG POOR

Having made great beginning twenty
four hours ago, snow began falling again
with renewed activity at an early hour
this morning, and before 10 o'clock had
added half inch to the white coverlet
that enrobes the national capital. The tenn
perature today, however, is several de-
grees higher than it was yesterday, and be-
fore noon the snow, SO vigorous during the
earlier hours, passed into the form of rain.
This condition will be only temporary, how
ever, II the Representations of the man
who presides at the weather bureau are
correct. While he is somewhat dubious as
to the amount of the snowfall, or it's prob
able duration, he says that in all proba
bility the storm will continue throughout
the day and night.
1t is showing today in the east as far
north as Philadelphia. The section of the
country bounded by the great lakes is also
In the blizzards grasp and reports from
places in that immediate neighborhood
show a heavy snowfall, as well as extreme
low temperatures. Citizens of the sections
on the Canadian border are suffering with
the cold, and thermometric readings as low
as 46 degrees below zero are reported

In Summer Attire.
The people are today wearing white fam
mel suits and straw hats in middle winter
at Jupiter, Fla, the temperature at that
place marking II degrees, according to the
weather mans report. In New Orleans the
weather is also of the balmy order, and
several other southern cities report equally
mild temperatures for this season.
Washington has today enjoyed splendid
seighing. The streets have been crowded
with merry parties, while the jingle of the
bells has been constantly in evidence.
All kinds and classes of sleighs have been
pressed into service, and the Hverymen
have been correspondingly happy. 1t costs
almost small fortune to hire a cutter and
a fleet trotter by the hour, and the fellow
whose best girl Just dotes on sleighing''
has been cursing his luck and wishing for
a "thaw."
The country roads contiguous to the city
have also had their full contingent of
sleighs. Especially Is this true Of the Con-
duit road, where the sleighing Is especially
good. All day long the road has been
filled with fast-fying teams and there have
been several exciting brushes between

 WORK ON COTTAGE PLAN

In the morning. A dinner will be spread at 12;3O o'clock and a programme will be arranged. The dinner will be confined to the members of the camp and representa- tives of the press.
 Acting upon the suggestion of Com mander Johnston, the committee of eleven appointed historians from each of the ten companies which went to the civil war from Jefferson county. The in formation collected by the historians will be spread upon the minutes of the camp, used in the daily papers and sent to the state society. This is considered by the members among the most important mat ters to be worked on, and they will push 1t. Several of the companies from Jeffer- son county belonged to some of the most gallant regiments in the Confederate service. and the camp believes in saving these records for the children of those who were members.
 The historians appointed so far in their respective companies are: Comrade J. F. Mclaughlin, Comrade John R. Rocket. Comrade R. H. Hagood, Comrade A. J. Tarrant, Comrade William Majors. Com rade Bird Hill, Comrade c. M Morrow, Comrade T. 8. Smith, Comrade J. H. Ha- good and Comrade H. c. Vaughn.
