ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS

There Is a serious doubt as to wheth-
er Congress will be able to adjourn on
Thursday, which has heretofore been the
objective date OF the leaders Of both
houses.
The trouble arises because Of the no
tice served on the Senate by the Presi-
dent that he wants the nomination of
toms at Charleston, s. c., acted upon
at this session. The Republicans are
disposed TO make an effort TO bring II

Committee POstpones Fur
Their Consideration of Bill.
HEARINGS NEXT DECEMBER
Vice President HarrieS and President
Dunlop Opposed Plan-Large Dele
CATION in Attendance Today.

The bill authorizing the construction
of croSstown street railroad line Will
not be acted upon by the House at this
session of Congress, and the construc-
tion of the road is, therefore, delayed
for a year at least. Further considera-
ton Of the matter has been postponed
until next December.
This was the decision reached this
morning by the House District Commit
tee after another hearing upon the
crOsstown bill The committee con-
cluded it could not in the brief time
intervening between now and the day
of adjournment which will probably be
next Thursday. give adequate considera-
ton to the question, and furthermore.
could not, if it reported the bill, get 1t
through the House at this session.
Accordingly an agreement was reached
in committee to allow the entire mat
ter to go over until the first week in
December. Two hours additional time
will then be given to further hearing
upon the bill, one hour to the friends
of the crosstown line and one hour to
those who oppose its construction.
Vice President Harries Heard.
There was a large delegation of per-
SOllS 4lllGGN SAtQ III llAC measure DlCSFii-
at the hearing this morning, and both
sides We're heard. The principal argu-
ment of the day was that made by Vice
President George H. Harries, OF the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany, in opposition to the crosstown
line
At the opening of the hearing Repre-
sentative Rixey Of Virginia appeared be-
fore the committee and presented a petit
ton signed by many citizens of Fair
fax county, Va, praying for favorable
consideration of the bill and also asking
for a liberal transfer system.
c. W. Slater opposed the measure on
the ground that IL was proposed to give
away a valuable street franchise. he
argued that such a valuable grant
should De paid for by the company en-
joying IL. There were, he declared,
plenty of capitalists who would be will
ing 10 pay literally for such a franchise.

Why He Wanted TO Run.

The late Gen. Alexander Mcdowell
McCook used to tell this story:
Some raw troopers were drawn up
for their first battle. They were On
marshy ground, under fire, and ankle
deep in slush. One Of the soldiers was
noticed to be trembling, and his fear
might communicate itself to his COM
rades. An officer approached him.
Here, what are you trembling
for?" demanded the officer. "Stop 1t
or you will demoralize the company.
You are in no more danger than any
one else. Don't be afraid"
I'LL am MOTT a-a-fraid," chartered
the soldier. I'LL had the ague last
year. and-and standing still in this
m-m-ud so long has brought 1t on aga
again. W-w-wouldn't-t-t be a g-g-good

purchased tickets had not the ghost Of
a show of getting any return. In the
cases where prizes were paid the COM
panies arbitrarily selected the winners
and even bribed people, for small con-
siderations, to pose as winners Of the
grand prizes.

wife of the President was awarded
the grand prize of 100000. There 10 NO

cast, but it would not be surprising IL
it should force President Diaz to re-

whose operations have embraced not

been earning the enormous total Of
$25, 100000 annually. OF this sum
$5,000,oO0 was paid to the Mexican
government as a license for their ex-
istence. Probably $4,000, 900 more was
expended for expenses and to pay the
prizes awarded to persons in q posi-
