WASHINGTON LETTER

ldplOiJ AiAAhS W ANA
ises to be one of the liveliest and
most interesting short sessions
held in recent years. The repub-
licans have good working major
tiles in both houses of Congress
and there is nothing to prevent
them from having their own way,
except the fact that the party is
split into several factions and that
the two important branches, the
tariff revision branch and that
section which regards the Ding
ley bill as sacred and "inspired"
are as far apart as the antipodes.
In addition to the tariff ques-
ton, there is the great "trust
problem" which the President
would meet with a law under the
provisions of which the Attorney
General could, when he saw fit,
bring action against any trust.
Even this moderate extention of
The powers of the administration
will be opposed, however, by a
large number of the republican
statesmen who owe their political
being to the very corporation
against which the law might ca
silly be made to operate. That it
would be so made to operate un-
der a republican administration
is not feared, but the business
men" of the country are taking
no chances on a republican victo-
ry in 1904.
-
Senator Dubois, who returned
to Washington this week says
that the republican victory in
the west was clearly due to the
gratitude of the western people to
the President for having urged
the necessity Of the irrigation of
the arid lands on Congress and
for having signed the Hans
brough- -Newlands bill. He con.
5iders that the same bill saved
Nevada to the democrats as the
people felt that they owed warm
3 ndorsement to Mr.. Newlands for
MS excellent work in behalf of
he bill. The Senator is most
positive in his assertion that, in
view of the feeling of the people
IN this subject, this years elec-
ion cannot be regarded as in any
way indicative of western senti-
nent on national issues.
~
The notorious ship. subsidy bill
Is again heard of on all sides. 1t
is said that the advisability OF its
passage will be considered by the
republicans in a caucus to be held
early in the session. 1t is recog-
nized that the measure is most un-
popular with the majority of the
but it's advocates urge that
if it is passed Immediately after
Congress convenes, the people
will have forgotten all about it be-
fore another election takes place
and the pressue to pass the iniqui-
tous measure is most urgent.
In addition to the approaching
session being lively from a politi-
cal standpoint, the accompany
ing social session gives promise OF
unusual gayety. The President,
who is extremely hospitable and
whose inclination ia to invite
every man he likes to dine with
him, has announced the first state
dinner for Dec. IS, full three
weeks earlier than usual, and that
will inaugurate one of the most
brilliant social seasons Washing
ton has experienced for some
time. 1t may be "a mad whirl"
but it will be a merry one.

Bolls Opening Under Fierce BEAT
Of Sun

Mr., J. o. Macarthur exhibited in
Americas yesterday the first open cot
ton bolls, and at this time stands fair
chance of marketing the first bale
here. The open hollis were quite num-
arous about his fields and probably
came from seed of some extra early
variety, which became mixed with his
planting seed, as his main crop was
not planted until ApriI7. Other farm
ers have reported few open but I'M
