The Fate of LiIley.

The talk of eXpelling Congress
man Lilley from the House on the
ground Of fragrant transgression Of
his privileges as a member in con-
1ection with the submarine boat
Gasco has been anticipated by the
gentleman's friends in Connecticut.
So much may he seen by the follow
ing paragraph taken from a Hart
ford news story of a recent day:
AS to the submarine Investigation. the
one thing needed to make him a popu-
lar hero and martyr is that the House
should eXpel him for failing To produce
his letter-bOOk which the committee
called for. or for any reason. There
would be a call for his return TO Con
gress in that case, but the plan for his
nomination for governor has been
pushed with such visor and gone so faI
that this is practically out of the ques-
ton, and. upon this fact being i'm
pressed upon them, the people of Con
necticut would be very apt 20 consider
electing him governor a fitting vindica-
ton.
This is a fair sample of the opin-
ion expressed by the most inhu-
entail papers in. Connecticut on the
report of the Bouten committee
They take the ground that the
House action was simply proof of
q plan to discredit LiIley and dodge
revelations in a campaign year"
All of which would seem to indi-
cate that further action tending to

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Transactions on the Washington Stock
Exchange yesterday footed up $1,000 IN
bonds and 120 shares of stock The
record, however, was a poor criterion to
the real estate market. Brokers seemed
20 have reached the conclusion that It
would be big day for business, and
several of them came TO toe session pre-
pared to take over local utility and other
stocks at about the prices that prevailed
at the close Of the week.
There was q good call for bonds. and
several good trades made When the
stock list was reached bids were put in
for all kinds of lots at prices from frac-
tons to whole points better than at the
close Of the week, but lhe holders of
stock were wary, and wanted better
prices. In most cases the offered price
was more than a point above the bids.
and when the latter were raised by fTac-
tons the offered price would be raised
or withdrawn IN this way sales were
defeated time and again. Two sales OF
Washington Gas were made at Sc after
the broker bidding had raised his bid
from below 65 and having the offered
price raised on him.
From the surface of things, il seemed
yesterday that holders of stock were
hopeful OF higher prices. and were con
tent to nurse the buyers along for a day
or two until one or two points should Doe
added TO the low prices OF the end of the
week
Rumors were current again yesterday
that negotiations are still on for the
consolidation of the two railway COM
panies, but upon what basis could not be
learned. The talk was pretty much in
the old form-thst powerful New York
interests would buy out the Capital Trac-
tion Company, consolidate the properties.
and place Mr. Loeb at the head Of the
larger concern. The rumor is persistent
through the efforts Of Representative
smith and some Of Mr.. LUab's financial
friends. but others yesterday who would
talk about the matter az all, either ridi
culed it outright or repeated the remark
ascribed to President Dunlop. Of the Cap
ital Traction system, that the wish is
