TO ELIMINATE COMPETITION
PRELIMINARY STEPS IN ORGANl-
zATiON OF GIGANTIC EELE-
PHONE TRUST.

Chicago, Zee. 6.-The Chronicle
says:
A scheme which is the preliminary
step to, the organization of gigantic
telephone trust which, when its alleged
purpose is accomplished, will involve
capital estimated at $700,00000O and
which will put out of existence all in
dependent telephone manufacturing
companies in the country, has come to
light in Chicago with the announce
ment that a representative of an East
ern syndicate is endeavoring to obtain
options on all Independent factories in
the city and has obtained a few.
Similar options are being sought
from all the independent telephone
manufacturing companies throughout
the country with the object of forming
a big combination of manufacturing
telephone interests on about the same
order as other large corporations,
such as the United States Steel cor
poration, in order to eliminate compe-
tition in this line.
w. J. Hilands of Chicago, who is
baid to represent Eastern parties in
the movement, declared that the pro-
posed combination had proceeded so
far that there was very little doubt
about its contamination.

from Is per cent ad yalorem to 10
per cent.
Panama also agrees to reduce her
consular fees and port charges to 60
per cent Of the rates at present

Ad journs Out of Respect to Memory OF
Messrs. Hoar and Quay.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The senate
convened for it's final session of the
Fifty-eighth congress promptly at noon
The first senator in his seat was Mr.
Platt of New York. Long before IL
o'clock the galleries were filed, but
the buzz of conversation ceased
abruptly when President Pro Tenn
Frye's gavel fell. Rev. Edward Ever
EFT Hale, D. D., chaplain of the senate,
offered prayer. Two seats had been
vacated by death-those of Senators
Hoar of Massachusetts and Quay Of
Pennsylvania. ~
On motion of Mr.. Cockreu IL o'clock
was fixed as the hour for the meeting
of the senate.
The death of the late Senator Quay
was announced by Mr.. Penrose, who
said that he would later in the ses-
sion make some remarks concerning
the career of his colleague and ask
that a day be set aside that public
| tribute might be made. He withheld
the customary motion that the senate
adjourn out of respect to the memory
of Senator Quay in order to give Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts an opportu-
nifty to announce the death of his late
colleague, Mr.. Hoap.
Mr.. Lodge then presented a resolu'
ton on behalf of himself and Mr.. Pen
rose, asking that the senate adjourn.
The session was adjourned at -: Is

CONGRESS MEETS
AND ADJOURNS
Brief Proceedings In the Two Houses On
the First Day of the Session.

DAY which opens both the ox1c1aT ana
Nocial seasons.
Rarely in the memory of the old
guard has the opening day been made
such a gala occasion. The galleries,
rather than the floor, proved the cen
ter of attraction, for rows upon rows
of handsomely gowned women looked
down upon the statesmen who grouped
about the chambers or strolled in and
out of the cloakrooms to exchange
greetings with old friends and receive
those of new ones.
Members of both bodies are flooded
with remembrances in the form of
floral pieces and the chambers pre-
sented an appearance which they
never knew on any other occasion.
Baskets and clusters of bright roses,
chrysanthemums and other fall flowers
covered the desks. Though rain and
sleet fell during the entire morning
these discomforts were insufficient to
mar the success of the event.
