WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Reg gular Correspondent.

Interesting but conf letting
reports are coming from Oys
ter Bay regarding the extra
ordinary session of Congress
a d financial legislation.
From the "high authority"
quoted it is evident that the
President himself is at sea in
his efforts to serve all inter-
ests. Bound by what he re-
CARDS as a pledge, to urge the
consideration of the Cuban
treaty legislation in advance
of the financial measure now
being prepared by Senator
Aldrich and his fellow mems
bers of the subcommittee OF
the Senate finance commit
tee, the President is being
subject to such strong press
ure from thecapitalistic class
ps in the east that he h a 8
been compelled to consider
the advisability OF calling
Congress in extra session
even earlier than had been
anticipated, November 9th.
That the President has seri-
ousIy contemplated such a
move is proven by an inter-
view Senator Aldrich gave to
the press in which he refers
to the likelihood that Con.
gress will be called to con-
vene in October.
No sooner was the possibil
ity OF such an enrly session
rned in Washington
than it was met with the pro
tests of the practical poll
iticians who say that t hoy
will be fully occupied with
the various state elections fn
October and that no MEM
Der OF Congress can be spar
ed to attend to national af'
fairs until the November elec
tions are disposed of. Atten-
ton is called to the precari>
GUS situation in. Ohio, where
the democrats give promise
Of acting as one man to de
feat Senator Hanna by elect
ing q legislature hostile to
him. The Secretary of Agri'
culture has even promised tc
90 to Ohio and take t b
stump to save the day fol
the Ohio leader and it is ap
preciated that the most ene1
getic measures must be ta'
ken to 'recoup the politira
fortunes of the patron of PEI
ry Heath, August W. Ma
chen. "Cliff" Long. and 9th
er members of the 30 b i {
gang"
The situation in Rhode Is,
} land is also most alarming
: to the republicans. The dem
ocrats in that state h a W
made unprecedented gains
and bid fair to control t he
legislature and all other i'm
portant Offices. II they ar
successful this fall it will en-
tirely disrupt the republican
machine and there will be ev
. cry C hance that the leg
lslature elected a year later
will defeat Senator Aldrich
who comes up for reelection
then, and will send a demo
crat to the Senate. In th
face OF this alarming state @
affairs the republ licaDs fe e
that they must put forth ev
ery effort to save the stat
. and ultimately to save t h

ty in The Senate.

News and Observer,

guages upon all matters con.
nected with his supposed can
didacy for the PRESIDENCY
Judge Parker. OF New York,
is ready enough to talk upon
other important topics. And
he always talks, too. wit b
good sense andpractical wis
dom. His latest utteranco is
with reference to the long
Presidential campaigns and
he is quoted as saying:
"In the days of our iore.fa-
theirs orators and stump spea
kers Travelled on horse back
or on foot, and the newspa~
pers, compared with those Of
today. were slow mediums
for the dissemination of news.
Even the farmers in h e & e
days are reading the daily
new spapers to q large ex
tent instead of the weekIles
of former days and of former
generations. 1t might be that
the country would welcome a
cutting down of the cam
paign period"
Judge parker is eminently
correct. our national c a m.
paigns are too long. If five
months was necessary forty
years ago, two months is
long enough now. This is the
day OF quick communication
and transportation. 1t was
at a national convention
that the value of the tele-
graph was first practically
demonstrated. Its triumphe
ought to have some effect
IN changing the time OF hold
ing national conventions.

Under these conditions the

The Port of Washburh

Tt is difficult to determine the ex-
act number of steamers that arrive
and depart during a season. A large
number of boats take partial loads
at one port and then go to another.
According to the laws of navigation
they are not obliged to register as
arrived or departed at but one
port. There were more boats tied
to the lumber docks of Washburn
last year than appear in the entire
record of years business of the
Deputy Collector of ports.
The record of the port collector
shows that there were $50 boats
arrived, and 234 boats departed from
Washburn last year. There were
also four boats arrived from Canada
and ten cleared for that country.
The record of the Edward Hines
Lumber Company show that 154
DOdbS UOOk Ou luLuOCI lOI UuCll SOllI,

The Thompson Lumber Company
also had go boats.
The Akeley & Sprague Company
had SO boats. Most of these are in
cluded in the figures furnished by
the Hines Company as they carried
the lumber manufactured for the lat
ter concern.
Twenty boats loaded at the
Washburn elevator last year.
There we're fifty-two boats at the
Northwes tern Fuel Company's dock
last year.
The above record does not include
the numerous steamers plying be-
tween Washburn, Ashland. Bayfield,.
Duluth. Houghton and Hancock in
the small passenger and freight bust
ness. There are greater numbers of
these boats than of all other classes
touching at the docks in this city.

A Woman's Complexion

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, PARTIES the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single

HOW FIRES MAY START.
Several Things That Will Cause
Spontaneous Combustion.

Spontaneous Com buStiOn.
Damp lampblack will ignite from the
suns rays. The same can be said of
cotton waste moist with lard or other
animal OIL Lampblack and little oil
or water will under certain conditions
ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and
charcoal create spontaneous combus.
ton. New printers ink on paper when
in contact with a steam pipe will ignite
quickly Boiled linseed oil and turpen.
tine in equal parts on cotton waste will
ignite in few hours under a mild heat
and will in time create enough heat to
ignite spontaneously, says Casters
Magazine. Bituminous coal should moi
be stored where it will come in contact
with wood partitions or columns OF
against warm boiler settings or steam
pipes This coal should not be very
deep if it is to be kept on storage for q
long period. If piled in the basement
of building it should be shallow and
free from moisture and under good
ventilation. That liable to absorb
moisture should be burned first. If OF
fire small quantity of water shower
ed on this kind of coal cokes it and re
tards any great supply Of water reach
ing the fire, thus necessitating the over
hauling of the pile. Iron chips, filings
or turnings should not be stored in a
shop in wooden boxes. The oily waste
which is not infrequently thrown
among them adds to the danger of fire
from this source. The sWeepings from
the machine shop, if kept on hand
should never be placed over iron shaw
ings This mass of disintegrated iron
is enough to incite heat and combus-
ton. Iron and steel filings and turn
ings when mixed with oil will ignite
spontaneously after becoming damp. A
steam pipe against wood will cause the
latter to ignite spontaneously after be
ing carbonized, particularly if super
heated steam enters the pipe thus in
creaSing the temperature.

Catarrh of the stomach

When the stomach is overloaded,
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inaames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves and causes the glands to
secret mucin, instead of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called
Catarrh of the stomach. For years
