DAWSON BUSY AT CAPITAL.
Many Calls Are Made on Him BY the
District,

Washington, Feb. 13.-Altho Repre-
eenta tive-Elect Dawson does not take
his seat and become an actual con-
gresham until March his congress-
ional duties began several weeks ago
and are growing heavier every day
The people of the Second district have
already found out that the man they
elected last fall is one fitted for the
place in every way and Mr.. Dawsons
mail is now as large if not larger than
any other congressman in the delega-
ton.
Mr.. Dawson has been very quietly
looking after number of things in
the interest of his constituents. In
many instances he has worked i'm
partially with Judge Wade his purpose
being to get the matter in question
settled in the best and quickest man
her. His knowledge of the ropes" in
Washington is of inestimable assist
ance to him but it is his acauain-
lance among the officials here that
probably counts the most He is uni
versally liked and respected and among
all the officials of the capitol and the
various departments he is now and
has been known ever since election as
Congressman"
When the senators come in to con-
fer with Senator Allison they usually
stop for a moment to say good morn
ing to MIR. Congressman
Mr.. Dawson probably knows his dis
trict better than any man who ever
came to Washington from the Second
During his campaign he made a list
of personal acquaintances of his con-
stituents that is amazing and his pres
ent large correspondence is due to this
in "A large degree. He is at present
subscribing for every newspaper in tn,
district and he not only subscribes but
he reads each one carefully every day
and every week. Almost every night
he can be seen leaving the capitol with
a bundle of papers under his arm that
appears to furnish enough reading
matter to last a week
What on earth are you doing with
that bunch of papers?' asked the
writer.
20, those are some papers from the
district, which l am going to read"
he answered with smile. Il find it

! Mr.. Dalzell, reciting the history of the
| statehood legislation in the house anG
rea ffirmng the caucus action taken Il,
! that time. Another was a resolution
by Mr.. Sibey, of Pennsylvania, provid
ing that the statehood bill be made
the subject of conference between the
two houses. The third was an amend
ment to this resolution, offered by Mr.
Tawney, adding that in such confer
ence the house conferees be instructed
to insist on the house provisions of the
bill. No vote was taken on amy OF
these propositions.
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico made
a strong appeal for concurrence In the
senate bill. He, however, did not make
any motion to this end. Other speeches
were made by Messrs. DalZell of
Pennsylvania, Hamilton of Michigan,
chairman of the committee on terri
tories and Powers of Maine. Dele
gate Mcclure of oklahoma pleaded
for action whereby at least Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory might be adj
United. Speaker Cannon occupied the
floor at length on two different occas-
IONS Other speakers were Messrs.
Hepburn Tawney, BurlSett, Needham,
Brick and Gaines of West Virginia.
Debate Heated.
The debate was keyed to high
pitch at all times. The ground was
taken by those who favored the house
provisions or nothing that the repub-
lcans of the body would be sacrificing
their positions taken heretofore to a
few republican senators who had seen
fit to unite with the majority of the
senate if the bill as amended was adj
opted.
y definition of what is considered the
binding feature of caucus was made
to those republican members who have
indicated an intention to vote with the
democrats should opportunity arise for
the acceptance of the senate bill. This
definition was that unless member
gives notice in caucus that he will not
be bound by the action taken he must
consider himself bound thereby Al the
republican caucus on April 10 last,
when the house bill was agreed on as
the measure to be supported there was
no member who indicated his unwill-
ingness to be bound by the caucus.
This binding feature of a caucus, it
was declared, is III loIce thl uout tlle
congress IN which the caucus occurs.
and the statement was made that no
republican member of the house can
now consider himself free to support
the senate statehood proposition.
There is some talk among house
members that the senate might accept
the house bill and negotiations with
this end in view have been in pro-
gress To make it impossible for the
house committee to take any action
until some understanding has been

tive as were the statements made a
year ago, when the prognosticators
gave Mr. Balfour only strength sutfi-
cient to read the budget. Now it is
confidently stated that dissolution will
come quickly, even within the limit of
debate on the address on the reply to
the speech from the throne, which will!
last about two weeks.
Whips from the government and OPP
position sides have received warnings
to be ready for general election calls
by the opposition, whose leaders ex-
press the firm conviction that the gov
eminent will be unable to maintain a
majority, and is certain of defeat
either as the result of desertion by
unionists, when the question of free
food comes up or apathy by the min
isterialists. On the other hand MIR.
Balfour and many of the most promi-
nent members of the unionists assert
i'm positive terms that they can only
be defeated by the failure of the I'M
ionist members to do their duty and
that the government will not resign
unless it is defeated on an important
division.
The session, especially during the
earlier days, is bound to be full of in
tense interest, and the opposition UNI
doubtedly intends to hang onto the
government, losing no opportunity to
catch it off guard
Irish Vote Is In Doubt.
AS usual, the Irish vote is largely in
doubt, and will be able to command
at least careful consideration from
both sides, and perhaps secure further
concessions. A meeting of the Irish
party was held at Mansion house in
Dublin yesterday, but nothing trans
pired to Indicate any particular pro-
gram John Redmond was again cleo
ted chairman of the party, and the
whips and other officers were re-elec-
ted. The meeting lasted only twenty
minutes.

intention to lombard Westminster

the defense appealed the case on the
ground that complainant, being insane,

The history of the case dates back
to 1897. when Mrs. Davis and her hus-

was a sufferer from epilepsy, but not,

tent that she was unable to care for

marks on suburban water supply:
1T will be only a vary short time be-
fore it will become absolutely necessary
to make extensive improvements In the
kaimuh and Palolo sections as the
system of piping, that has been INSTALL
ed and added to from time to time. is
entirely inadequate to supply the pres
ent demand. The Kaimuki reservoir is
a very inferior structure and Is liable.
at any time, to fall with the weight of
water contained when full. This res
ervoir is Furthermore at too low an
elevation; many of the consumers on
Palolo hill and along the high levels on
the Kaimuki side of the WaiaIae road
are SO near the level of the reservoir
that when those on the lower levels
are using any large quantity of water,
they are without any supply whatever.

special appropriation be made at the
next session of the Legislature for a
larger and more permanent reservoir,
