WASHINGTON.-The session Of congress that
has just ended eclipsed anything in the history of
that body in the amount of debate held in various
subjects. No previous session of congress ever
produced as many words for the Congressional
Record although many of them lasted three
month longer than this one. In no previous con-
gress did the house and senate buckle down to
work so assiduously as they have done since last
December. There were very few idle days since
the session began on the first Monday of last De-
cember and the unusual spectacle of night sessions
held month two before adjournment was wit
messed.
Ordinarily congress does not get down to real
hard work in the long session for two three
months. 1t is usually the custom for both houses
to adjourn from Thursday to Friday in the first

olution of Inquiry.
Washington, jan. 31.-In response
to the resolution of the house of repre-
s%entatives President Roosevelt during
the day called upon the interstate
commerce commission fora report re-
.garding the alleged existence Of a
combination or arrangement between
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and other railroads in
violation of the antitrust law. Chair
man Knapp at once called his col
leagues into conference and the reply
is in course of preparation.
Inquiry at the offices of the inter-
state commerce commission disclosed
the fact that the only data on which
the commission can base it's report,
outside the matters already of public
knowledge, is contained in the reports
OF the railroads themselves annually
supplied to the commission in accord
.ance with the requirement of law.
These reports the commission always
have regarded as confidential, but it
is understood that details of manage
ment and ownership of stocks, bonds,
ETC., are given in them which throw
considerable light on the subject in
issue.

only in dealing with the Asi2tic races
that the bars should be put up and

Chinese. They are both cut out of

HILL SOUNDS WARNING.
Says United States Has Become ar
Extravaaant Nation.


New York, Jan. 31.-"This country
today is like a boy who has inherited
a big fortune and is living on it with
out earning anything himself" said
James J. Hill, who has Just returned
fromSthe West. - s !.
ut is all very well to talk about our
great prosperity, but we are spending
what has been earned, not what we
are earning now. We are using up
our capital and have become an ex
travagant nation"
Mr.. Hill would not admit that the
country was tending toward overpro-
dtction, because, as he said, If he did
people would call him a croaker. "The
consular and other reports show" he
said, that Japan is sending us mor
than we are sending to Japan and that

position among the commercial ma.

During the last few years things
have been stirred up so on account of
the Boer and Russo-Japanese- wars
that with the existing close relation
among the nations it has been diff
cult to get a true perspective in COM

now we can look around and appre-
