which lasted several minutes, was many
times mora violent than any Of the others.

A MATTER which the Chamber OF
OJmmerce might well take up is thst OF
the almost total suspension Of building in
Alexandria. This after has been
growing from bad to worse for several
yesrs past, t. Che graz injury OF the
CITY. and now 1t can be said that no one
builds uu1ess he is obliged to DO 90.
There must be something wrong some
where and the trouble should be cor
rected. Contractors who recently gath
cred here to bid On two school buildings
--1ne in the city and one just outside
it, limits-slated that 1t was currently
reported throughout the state that build
ing material and labor were higher 10
Alexandra than 10 any other city 10
Virginia. SAch a reputation will in
jure any city or town in the world I'M
less 1t is known that the business OF such
a place justi6es these high prices-and
this cannot be said OF Alexandria. Out
side parties secured the contracts for the
two school buildings as they did for the
two bank buildiugs-one recently built
aud one now in course Of erection. 1t
Is ca d that house can be built in Alex
andria or Fairfax comfy at less cost
than the same building can be put up
10 Alexandra city. This should not be.
We know of Number Of citizsns who
had plans drawn fer the erection
of quite a number Of buildings but threw
away these plans after securing estimates,
as 1t would have been impossible for
them to have ralizsd five per cent upon
their investments. This Is certainly no
inducement for a man to invest his
M oney in building. There is talk OF
combines, trusts and understandings be-
tween builders, men aud dealers In
building material, but of this we know
nothing; but this We do know, that
more houses have been erected during
tbs past few years 10 almost any town
in Virginia than have been built in the
CITY of Alexsndris. There must be
reason for this and now that the election
is over aud the nights are growing longer
the Chamber Of Commerce might con-
slider this matter seriously and endeavor
to right the great wrong that is being
done Alexandria.

day bis respect to President Roosevelt.
Il he snator had very distinct impress
o as of the election being triumph for
endorsement of republican policies, bot
was unable to clearly see how the tsriff
and the supply bills could be acted upon

would be very desirable to avoid an ex-
ira session, t. which the party is con-
mitied" be exclaimed, "but | do MT see
how 1t can be accomplished" He ex-
D ained that the preliminary work 90
tariff schedules, done during the summer
by the two committees of Congress, had
removed many obstacles for an carly
consideration of the subject, The sens-
tor thought it possible for the house to
get a tariff bill through bat action In The
senate would largely depend upon the
attitude OF the minority party. Repre-
sentative Roberts OF Massachusetts,, who
also talked with the president, lie CRAFTY

de thought 1t would be the crowuipg
glory of the party If the subject could be
gotten out of the way at the coming ses-
sion. Although no definite word ba'
been received from PresideDt'elect TAT,
1t is the belief that Congress will be call
ed in extra session before the end Of
M.rch, with the view Of having short
session, with the Possibilities of making
the tariff revision law effective July 1s',
1909, the beginning of the governments
fiscal year. 1t is thought that the work
of the extra session can be cleared up by
June /.

STATEMENT FROM MR.. BRYAN.
William J. Bryan yesterday Issued
the following statement:
"The election has gone against us by
q decisive majority. The returns sre
not all in and 1t Is impossible AZ the
present time to auslyze them or to say
what causes contributed most to the re-
publican victory. We made our fight
upon a platform which embodied what
We believe to be good for the American
people, but 1t lie for the people them
selves to decide what laws they desire
aud wi at methods of government they
prefer. bave faith that the publicity
which we asked for will yet commend
itself to the American people, that the
election of senators by the people will
be secured, that the iniquilies of the
trust will srouse an opposition tia; will
result 10 the elimination of the principles
of private monopoly. l am confident
that the people will see the necessity for
the labor legislation and the Tariff re-
ducLion which our plstfcrn demanded.
l sm confident, too, that the education al
work done in this campaign will result
ia securing greater protection to bank
depositors. The above a'e the most
prominent reforms for which We labored
and | believed that these reforms will
yet come, together with more effective
regulation of railroads aud independence

John Jacob Astor with business prop
osition which demanded an investment
OF 500, 900 on his part. While lis
teniug to the plan he kept cropping
and feeling about on the floor for some
thing he seemed to have dropped.
When the plan had been explained he
said readily IAN right, III furnish
the money" At that instant man
entered to tell him that one of his
buildings had burned down.
That happens nearly every day,
be said. with the utmost unconcern,
and went on feeling about with great
care for that something on the carpet
Finally the visitor was curious enough
to inquire what he had dropped

If a mans buildings burn down they
are gone, and ne can't help it, but
