Philippine wood In american Cars,

The Burlington railway has put in
operation out of Kansas City On the
Chicago "Eli" train two new dining
cars. The cars are finished in what is
known as madden wood, taken from
the Philippine Islands, and are said to
be the first two cars in operation in
the United States in which this wood
was used, says the Kansas City Times.
Madden wood is Of a dark brown color
and shows its grain attractively. The
two diners are lighted by acetylene gas,
and instead of the usual lamps in the
upper deck of the cars are lanterns
cast from statuary bronze and fitted
with art glass. Each car represents the
expenditure of about $4,000. They are
equipped with Hayiland china, pur-
chased in Kansas City.

Washington. Aug. 29.-Chairman Jo-
seph w. Babcock, of the Republican
congressional committee today express
ed his opia..on that the present is the
closest Congressional campaign he has
experienced since 1898.
"What are the conditions which
make the Congressional campaign clos
er this year than it has been since
1882" SIR. Babcock was asked.
They differ in localities" he rss-
ponded. 'In some the conditions re-
suit from the character Of the nation

are almost entirely local. Then in some
cases. the difficulty is ~ r the kind Of
men who are running for Congress. In
Nebraska, where there are six mem
bers of the House to fight for, The
Democrats have abandoned the nation
al campaign. They have fused with
the populists on the legislative and
Congressional tickets but not on
presidential electors. Nearly all the
Congressional districts in the state
are close We redeemed foul OF those
districts two years ago, but they have
been going n way or h other by
very narrow margins-not by 200 or 600
or 400, but in some instances by IL o.

sional committee has to go in there

not had a real campaign OF education

many documents in one year as thea.
We expect to have d good deal of
speaking. There are about a dozen Of
the leading republican members OF
the House on whom We are relying.
Chief m on them, of course, is Speak
