THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS
PHr1IPR1YE QUESTION WILL COME
 UP IN THE SENATE TO-DAY.

Continued Constderation Until it fl Disposed of Likely-ship Subsidy Bil to be Reported To -day-A Renewed EE fort for n Department of Com merce- Very Heavy Week in the House Nol Expected.
 Washington, Jan. 19.-The Philippine
 question will be precipitated on the sen
 ate tomorrow, when the committee on
 the Philippines, which has the house
 Philippine tariff bill under considera-
 ton, expects to report the measure. The
 bill, with its committee amendments,
 will be sent to the printer, and Senator
 Lodge, chairman of the committee, will
 give notice of his intention to call 1t up
 on the following day and ask for it's
 continued consideration until finally
 disposed of.
 There is a general asquiescence of re-
 publican senators in this programme.
 There are other important measures to be presented at the proper time by ad-
 ministration senators, but the present
 agreement is to pass the Philippine bill
 first, as being of the most immediate importance.
 Tomorrow Senator Frye probably will report the ship subsidy bill, but he will not attempt to secure considera- tion for it for the present, and probably not until after the Philippine bill shall have been disposed of. The report of the committee on inter- oceanic canals is expected later in the week, but may be delayed. The consideration of that question in the senate also waii wait on the Philippine bill.
 During the week Senator Nelson will make renewed effort to secure the pass age of his bill for the creation of a de- partment of commerce. The opposition to it probably will be continued for the present. During the early part of the week, probably tomorrow, Senator Cullom will address the senate on the treaty making power of the president. The speech is expected to have a bear ing upon the reciprocity treaties. Its delivery at this time has been requested by a number of senators. If there be an executive session of the senate on there will be an effort made to have the nomina tion of Governor Otero 1f New Mexico, confirmed.
 The calendar of the house of repre- is still rather meagre In inn oortant bills so that there does not promise to be heavy pressure of busi- less during the coming week. Monday s the regular suspension day, but there Ire few measures likely to be passed by of the rules.
 The urgent deficiency appropriation 1 jill will occupy most of the time during | he first few days of the week. It car | ies total of s16 700, 900, which is rather | arge for deficiency measure and it S expected that two days will be occu- lied in it's consideration. Beyond this here is practically no programme for he week, as the bills ready for con- alteration are not of sufficient impor- ance to secure definite time in ad- -ance, except in the case of the Hill i'll for the exchang geability of silver and old. It will be some time before opin- ln is sufficiently matured on this r measure to induce the leaders to set a inc for consideration.

Rnce With His Oath.

ance With Ills Oath.
 New York Jan 19.-Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst to-day gave out letter ad- dressed to Mayor Low which had been adopted by the executive committee of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, of which Dr. Parkhurst is president. The opening paragraph reads:
 While the Society for the Prevention of Crime counts itself distinctly an ally of the present municipal administra- tion, there are certain principles of ac- tion to which we have uniformly adher- ed and which we deem it incumbent up- on ourselves to pursue and to urge, even at the risk of excepting to the pol icy of those whom we would like In all respects to second and support"
 The committee then writes: 'In all our past activity as a society we have proceeded upon the distinct under standing that law exists for the pur- pose of being obeyed," and after an elu- oidation of this point these words are used: 'The above statement foreshad- ows the situation of embarra ssment in which we now find ourselves. The first two weeks of the present regime have pl aGllGdIy put Lllc llldy iolly III ICNpAI against the legislature-have obscured the entire situation so far as it relates to one large and elaborate class of stat utes.
 "Of course we are not looking for municipal administration that is abso- lutely ideal, but we as a society, are chartered by the state to labor for the prevention of crime, and we are not quite certain any longer what is crime''
 The letter then says that the situation is morally intolerable, and goes on: eff it is claimed that enforcing the law will carry the city back under the control that it has recently been rescued from it is not very high nor commanding order of logic to argue against the may or respecting a reform oath on the | ground that it will give opportunity for | the return to power of officials who will | not respect their paths. There is not | very much to choose between a Tam | many administration that has bad prin- ciples and reform administration that { has good principles but is afraid to use them.''
 Towards the end the letter says: We are emphatic in our insistence that you brace. your administration into accord with your oath, that you summon the exceptional resources that are at your command to the work of frankly and resolutely suppressing open or clandes- tine violations of recognized statutes, and thus either dignify law by the sue cess with which you enforce 1t or by the demonstrated impossibility of en- forcing, convince the legislature of it's moral obligation to come to your re- lief"

A RAID ON THE TREASURY?
FMOCRATS ENOUNCE THE NEH
 REPUBLICAN BTLL.

Declare That the Passage of the Measure 1 Directing the Treasury to Exchange Gold for Legal Tender Silver Dollars is Sure to Produce Financial Disturb-
 ances-Also That the Proposal is Reck-
 less Legislation Will Ofrer a Minority
 Report.
 Washington, Jan. 1e.--The democratic members of the house comimttee on coinage, weights and measures have agreed on a minority report on the bill directing the secretary of the treasury ito exchange gold for legal tender sil- yer dollars and the report will be presented to the house tomorrow by MT. Shafroth.
 The report takes the position that the passage of the bill is certain to produce financial disturbances. The following general proposition is laid down; Our government has never conceded the right to the holder of sil- yer dollars to demand from the treas ury gold therefor, nor to the holder of SOld lO utlilelIli SlihCl oOiloi v lItl CIpI. Such demands always have been refus- ed at the treasury It is the notes and bonds of the government that are pay able in either gold or silver at the op- tion of the holder"
 The following reasons why such a measure should not be exacted are giv- en- First, it will require a large in- crease of the gold reserve of the treas ury, as, if the obligations upon re- serve are increased, the reserve should be correspondingly enlarged. If it re- quire s15O,000, 900 of gold to act as reserve for the redemption of s946, 00C,- GOO of United States notes called green backs and $40, 2S9, ,086 of treasury notes issued under the sherman act will 1t not take at least $500, 900 in gold, says the report to act as a reserve when the $530, 732617 of silver dollars and silver certificates are made a di- rect charge on that reserve?
 Second--It would create new end less chain upon the gold reserve of the treasury and thereby plunge the gov ernment deeper into the banking bus mess.
 If the endless chain on the treasury caused by the redemption and reissue of greenbacks is a continual drain upon

With Delegate woImarans.

Brussels, Jan. 19.-Dr. Leyds, the Ell- ropean representative of the Transvaal and the other Boer delegates met again to-day at some mysterious rendezvous. Dr. Leyds now denies himself to every body.
 It is asserted that pr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, on his return to The Hague from London had a conference with MT. Wolmarans, one of the Boer delegates who sent another delegate to consult with MT. Kruger, and that an- other meeting will be held next Mon day.
 In spite of the Boer denials, strong feeling exists here that some peace movement is afoot between Great Brit ain and the Boer delegates, but that there is difficulty in arriving at any acceptable basis of terms, MT. Kruger and Dr. Leyds being reluctant to com- init themselves.
 It is declared in Boer circles here that number of Englishmen, supposed to be officials of the British govern ment, arrived at The Hague under as sumed names iast Saturday and were later visited and entertained at dinner by the British minister there.
 London, Jan. 2O.-The Times has re- oeived a cablegram from Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier. in which he declares he has held no conference with the Boer delegates and that he could not induce them to draw up terms of peace, as he knew their credentials did not allow them to do so.

He was without doubt the fellow most ut

decided advantage when

mirrors decided advantage when
one hasn't maid to rely upon.
When treating the face the mirror
is also an excellent accessory. BY at
taching it to the window sill or casing,
the best possible light is thrown on
the skin. so that blemishes and disfig-
uring marks are clearly shown up.
Altogether, this adjustable mirror
will be found decidedly useful among
my lady's up-to-date toilet articles.
Since curling irons were declared
harmful to the hair land nobody but
an experienced couture dares to manip-
ulate them, all manner of devices have
been invented for the purpose of i'm
parting natural looking as well as
a lasting undulation to ones locks.
While some of these arrangements
are really good, others are absolutely
worthless, and in the end do more
harm than singing irons.
A new shell hairpin which seems to
supply the much desired wave is rec
commended as being perfectly safe and
simple to manage.
Tortoise shell, of course, is far bet
ter than wires or irons, as it does not
break the hair, and this little affair is
made to hold the hair, which is loosely
woven around the shank, while a
small clasp holds it in place at the
top
Another equally simple continuance
for producing soft waves in the hair
without heat or injury is made of
rubber, in colors to match the shade
of the hair. This resembles a bodkin
more than anything else, for it is fat,
about quarter of an inch at the
broadest part, and has small ring at
one end, while tiny knob finishes the
other and through the center runs a
narrow slit.
The strand of hair is first drawn
through this opening, and with the I'M
even ends firmly held in place the hair
is loosely wound around the curler,
while a rubber cord loops into the
ring and is pulled out and caught on
the opposite knob.
The soft rubber does not break the
hair, and it will be found that undula-
tions are secured in a much shorter
time with this curler than by means of
ordinary methods.-Kansas City Star.

and the holder thereof can vote in
her stead.
"When [ was in New Orleans they
were voting on the proposition to is
sue bonds for the extensive sewer sys-
tenn. Miss Gordon undertook the
work of collecting proxies to vote in
favor of the bonds. For awhile she
paid no special attention to the per-
sons who signed as witnesses, but her
attention was called to the fact that
while a woman could sign a proxy as
principal, she could not sign as wit
hess. Consequently good many
proxies had to be made out over
again.
tits the same way with this will
made by Mrs. Davis. Two women
signed as witnesses, but their attesta-
ton will not be considered in a Louis
lana court, according to the way I'M
derstand things. A legal document
must conform to the laws of the local
ity in which it is made, hence, it will
be necessary for the Alabama women,
if they want to be sure of the will, to
have it out once more and in strict
conformity with local law"

WOMEN IN LOUISIANA.
They Can Vote on Tax Propositions
But Cannot Act as Witnesses
to q Signature.

"It will be rather disappointing for
the Alabama women in charge of the
Jefferson Davis relics at Montgomery
to learn they have made an error"
said visitor at Birmingham to an
Age-Herald reporter.
"A few weeks ago, at their conven-
ton, it was announced that Mrs. Davis
had conveyed these relics of her il
lustrious husband by will to the or
ganization. The document, as printed
in full, showed that it was executed in
New Orleans, duly signed by Mrs. Da-
Wis and two women of the committee
appointed to attend to the matter. APP
parently the document fills all legal re-
quirements, and in most states it would
be so, but not in Louisiana. Law in
that state was fashioned on the old
French model, which subordinated
women very much in a legal way. AS
a result, woman cannot be a witness
in the signature of legal document
Such being the case, the will made by
Mrs. Davis is void.
'This fact, that women cannot wit
ness legal documents was brought out
strongly few years ago. Women who
are taxpayers can vote on bond propo-
sitions in Louisiana. Also, if a wom-
an does not desire to go to the polls
personally, she can issue a proxy
signed by herself and two witness es,
