DUE DELAYED REPORTS

NEW YORK. January 26.-Some restric
ton In the volume of business on the stock
exchange occurred at the opening today,
owing to the disarrangement of the trans
portation and telegraph facilities. Higher
prices prevailed. especially for the coalers,
Amalgamated Copper. ST. Paul and the Pa
cities. but the gains did not exceed frac-
tional limits. Northwestern opened 81
higher. and Colorado Fuel point
The failure of the opening advance to
dislodge any large offerings encouraged the
room traders to bid prices up more ener-
getically. Purchases continued in moderate
volume, but the demand was very diversi-
fled, and there were a few speculative IA
vorites that did not figure in the rise to a
substantial extent. Amalgamated Copper
displayed the most activity and sold at Il

THE SENATE.

In accordance with yesterdays adjourn
ment resolution the Senate did not con-
vene until 1 o'clock today. At that hour
there were only an even dozen senator's
present. but routine business proceeded as
usual.
Mr.: Smoot presented the certificate of
from Utah.
The following bills and resolutions were
passed:
Making Norwalk, Conn, a SUPPORT of

Transferring a portion of Yosemite Ma

Authorizing the incorporation of the
trustees OF the grand encampment of the
Nights Templar of the United States
Authorizing the use Of stone and timber
on the public lands in the construction of
public irrigation works in connection with
the reclamation service
When the army appropriation bill was
taken up Mr.. Gallinger inquired the pur-
pose OF the committee amendment reouir-
Ing the consent of Congress for the sale
OF government transports, and Mr. Proctor
replied that the recommendation was due
to the conviction on the part of the men,
bers of the committee that the vessels
might be needed and they should be so
placed that no executive department could
dispose OF them speedily. In this con-
nection he expressed the opinion that in
the future trouble would occur in the
orient, hence the Importance Of holding
the transports on the Pacific ocean,
Mr.. Gallinger opposed the maintenance
or transport service saying that as
chairman of the merchant marine COM
mission he had heard much complaint
against the competition of the government
least the transports out of commission
could be sold.

The Shifting Of Seasons.

From the Kansas City Star.
If the earth's axis had happened to be
perpendicular to the plane of it's orbit, in
stead of inclined at an angle of 23.5 de-
grees, the country would have escaped the
blizzard Of last week. For that matter it
would have missed the winter altogether
for the seasons are the result of the fitting
of the axis. Were the earth standing up
right as 1t moves around the sun, every
spot on its surface from the equator to the
poles would have it's own particular and
never-ending season, there would be no
extremes of temperature in any latitude
and no widespread, violent storms like
that of last week. Because OF the inclina-
ton Of the axis. however. the angle at
which the suns rays strike the earth is
constantly changing and the length of the
day, except at the equator, Is always alter
ing. Consequently the amount OF heat re-
ceived at Kansas City changes from day
to day with the result of the shifting sea-
sons and Of important weather disturb
ances.

Too Hard on Rheumatics.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
It was a matter of course that the doc
tors should come to regard consumption as
communicable, and 1t would not be sur
prising should they seek the microbe of
cold feet: but it is going little too far
when they persist in the assertion that
rheumatism is infectious The great an
tiquity Of this malady Is undoubted, yet 1t
still remains stupendous and battling
mystery. Now, as before the Christian era,
it's treatment Is empirical and Intellectual
OF all the manifold Affections which re-
strain the hilarity of mankind, 1t is the last
about which the doctors should dogmatize.
Their proper attitude toward rheumatism
is one of humility and awe
It may be true, as the doctors affirm
that rheumatism is Catching per-
son of blameless life may acquire it's seeds
by consorting with friend or neighbor;
but considering their appalling ignorance
of it's causes, its nature, the tissues it in
wolves and it's proper treatment they can
show no warrant for so distinct and alarm
ing an announcement. Surely it is enough
that the rheumatic sufferer is without hope
of human aid, Is the victim of the physI-
clans impotence, and is already Stunned
by the timid as a center of moral pesti-
lence, without his being prescribed as
source of physical infection.

NEW ORLEANS, January 26-With it's
vital work already performed the southern
Interstate cotton convention met today to
receive and act upon additional reports Of
it's committees. which have been elaborat-
ing plans to solve the cotton problem.
Former Senator McLaurin of South

president of the Association of Southern
Commissioners of Agriculture, discussed

ly adopted and copies ordered sent to Pres

Strange Sport for Divers.
From the London Express.

When the great diving bell which is used
on the admiralty harbor works at Dover
sank into the sea yesterday it surprised
shoal Of sprats. The men seated round its
sides saw in the glare of the electric light
strange sight. Suddenly the water beneath
them became alive with thousands of the
tiny silvery fish, which darted hither and
thither in their efforts to escape from I'M
expected captivity Some succeeded in div
ing under the edges of the bell, but as the
machine descended nearer and nearer to the
bottom the. few inches of water in it be-
came thick with the fish.
When the bell rested on the ocean bed the
men set to work and captured nearly a
thousand of the fish. 1t Is not unusual, they
say, to catch a fish or two as they go down,
but never before has it been their expert
ence to encounter a shoal The men in the
bell work at depth of forty-three fathoms
below low water mark. The fish were prob
ably attracted by the electric light which is
used in the bell.

House Passes Appropriation
for the Swayne Trial.
BILL
coLLooUY ON THE SUBJECT OF
ECONOMY.
A Hit at the National Militia Brings
Out an Earnest Plea in It's Be-
half From Mr.. Hull.

Immediately after converting today the
House adopted a joint resolution appro-
priating $4,000 to defray the expenses of
the Senate in conducting the trial of Judge
Charles Swayne, after which the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was taken up in
committee of the whole, Mr.. Currier IN.
H) in the chair.
Mr.. Littlefield (Me.) put an inquiry to
MIR. Wadsworth (N.Y), in charge Of the
BILL regarding the policy to be pursued in
connection with appropriations. He specifical-
~ asked If the appropriations were to be
continued at their existing size, and there
by involve the necessity Of increasing taxa
ton in order to get more revenue, or If
appropriations were to be cut down and
thus avoid the necessity for increasing tax
ation.''
Democratic applause was accorded Mr..
Wadsworth when he replied that he was in
favor of cutting down appropriations for
the fmy and navy.
Does the gentleman think it wise, pru-
dent, safe or proper" asked Mr. LittlefieId,
Tor US to make appropriations which we
know are in excess of the revenues we are
going to receiver
That" said Mr.. Wadsworth, 'is a ques-
ton L don't care to answer"
The lump appropriations in the bill were
criticised by Mr.. Clark (Mo.), who recalled
what he said was the great outcry on the
republican side Tuesday during a considera-
ton OF proposition to increase the salaries
OF Washington school teachers, and he in
quired If the mind or conscience of the re-
publican side had undergone a radical
change on the subject
Mr.. Wadsworth said he had nothing tn
do with that
Mr.. Hull Qowa), chairman of the COM
mittee on military affairs. expressed it as
his opinion that the power vested in some
heads of executive departments to disburse
lump appropriations should be taken away.
Inc appropriation to enable the Secretary
OF Agriculture to work out breeding prob
lems was supported by Mr.. Adams wis }.
his remarks ELECTED from Mr. Williams
tMlss) the inquiry as to whether those
propiems were as important as those sug-
gested by militia officers at the annual
maneuvers.
MI. Adams provoked much laughter by
replying that if Mr.. Williams expected him
TO go into the impenetrable mysteries of
the problems in the minds of the officers of
the National Guard he was mistaken
Inc reference to the militia of the coun-
try caused Mr. Hull to enter an earnest
pea IN Its behalf, saying, amid general APP
pause that 1t could be relied upon when
aanger confronted the government His
faith in the militia he said was so Strong
was necessary.
Under latitude Of debate Mr. Scott Kano
discussed the question of discrimina ting
rates by railroads and said that there had

Loomis that he has just received from his
