CONGRESS NOT LIKELY TO PASS
RIVER AND HARBoR BILL AT.
PRESENT SESSION..
LEADERS OPPOSE THE EXPENDITURE
COMMITTEE HAS MEASURE PRAc
TIcALLY READY FOR sUBMls.
SION TO HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The prospects
are that this session of congress will
not pass a river and harbor bill. The
committee on rivers and harbors has
been considering a bill for some time
with a view to making an early re.
port. but among the leaders in the
house there is a disposition to let the
bill go over for this session on ac-
count Of the condition of the treasury.
Cutting off of river and harbor bill
would be in line with the determine
tion of the house leaders to adhere to
a policy of strict economy in govern
ment expenditures.

+, Cleveland, JAM 1.-THE friction ex-
listing between the fedelal anu county
officials relative to the admission OF
visitors to the cell OF Mrs. CHADWICK
in the county Jail assumed an a. u-e
phase during the Gay as a result OF a
written opinion issued by County so
licitor Stage, holding that the sheriff
alone is responsible Tor the satekeep-
ing of the prisoner and that the federal
authorities have no. lega Fright to say
who could or who could not see her.
AS soon as this opinion had been read
by Sheriff Mulhern he announced that
DR.. Chadwick was at liberty to see his
wife at any time, providing he was
accompanied by either his own or Mrs.
ChadWick's counsel.
It is exceedingly probable that some
radical action will be taken by the
federal officials without delay. The
latter point out that under the statutes
all federal prisoners in county or state
Institutions are under the absolute
control Of government officials until
they are convicted

ELEVATORS TO BE FILLED.
Head of Lakes Bins Already Hav,
Great Supply on Hand.

Duluth, Jan. 6.-Present prospects
are that every grain elevator at the
Head of the Lakes will be filled by the
opening of navigation next spring.
Less than 20,000,000 bushels more OF
grain will do it. The houses now have
100000 bushels in store, which is
double the amount at this time year
ago. Flour production at the Head OF
the Lakes In 1904 amounted to S35,720
barrels, as compared with 1,17S,695
barrels in 1903. The decrease was
due wholly to the falling off of the ex-
port demand and this was due to the
lower price that prevailed for Cana
