Most of the appeals that have been sent to Washington from the South for the retention of the lumb CT duties have been addressed directly to Chairman Payne. of the House Ways and Means Committee, probably on the theory that it is well to com mence on the men in the Legislative body that will take the initiative in tariff legislation. That is all right per- haps, but the general understanding here is that the kind of revision that will be done will be shaped by the AL drich- Hale combination in the Senate. unless there should be a revolution over at that end of the capitol and a sufficient number of Republicans would unite the Democrats in baking the combination.

COMMISSION TO SIT
TUsKEGEE CASE IS MOST IMPORT
 ANT TO BE CONSIDERED.
:. Legations Have Been Made Charging That the Western Railroad Is Dis criminating in Favor of Booker
 Washington's Negro School.

Members of the Alabama Railroad Commission will assemble at the State Capitol this morning in regular month ly session, to take up cases docketed during the past thirty days.
 The feature of the Commissions sit- ting will be the fact that the allega- tions against the railroad from Che- haw to Tuskegee will be heard. the Commission adjourning to Tuskegee to hear the charges. In the complaint filed against the railroad. 1t is alleged that the road is poorly equipped. in, that no provision is made whereby citizens of Tuskegee may be informed whether the trains on the Western Railroad at Chehaw are on time, and also that the citizens of Tuskegee are being discripinated against in favor of the students of Booker Washingtons school for negroes.
 The Commission may return to Mont gomery after the hearing at Tuskegee. but 1t is more than probable that they will adjourn for ,the month, after talk ing testimony in the case at Tuske- gee,

 Free Breakfast Table.
 At present the Republicans in the House are at sea regarding the prop osition to put a tarif duty of a few cents . pound on tea and coffee. They seem te De afraid tha' the old cry of 6 free breakfast table, will be re- vived. That was heard before the duty on these articles of daily consumption were placed on the free list.
 The Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee take the position that the next tariff law should be con- structed strictly on revenue basis. They argue that 1t should not include any features that are in the nature of gifts to this or that industry, and they are insisting and will insist. they say, upon reducing duties all along the line that are either prohibitive or nearly SO.
 The ultra protectionists are not re- lying so much upon ths House as they are upon the Senate to get their de- mands. The latter body they figure has a smaller membership, and they be- lieve that in Senators Aldrich, Hale and others who boss things at that end of the Capitol they will be able to come nearer to getting what they want. and therefore they do not waste time and energy upon the members of the lower branch of Congress.

Dr. ThompsOn's Position Considered to Indicate That Sabbath Games Will Not Re Stopped
 In That City.

Memphis, Tenn. Feb. 2S.-(Special.)- By declaring from the pulpit in. course of a sermon at St. Johns Methodist Church that Sunday baseball playing was no worse than gossip indulged in by society sisters on the Sabbath when fiocked together" Rev. Dr. Will liam Thompson. looked on as the leader of the so-called reform party in Tennessee. caused consternation in his congregation and at the same time surprised many baseball followers who feared a crusade against thapSabbath games.
 Dr. Thompson Is generally credited with being the prime mover in legis- lation which has wiped out horse- race gambling and open saloons, but his presence at weekday games and announcement from the pulpit is taken by baseball followers to indicate that no movement will be made to stop the games which have been a feature here for years.

JUDGE FORT IN THE CITY
 WITH HIS FAMILY

Judge William E. Fort, recently pri- vate secretary to the Governor. joined his family in this city yesterday. Judge Fort relieved Judge Green of Jefferson County of his duties at most criti- cal time. and from all reports the new Judge has no pleasant undertaking in dealing with the cases which are be- fore him in that County at the present time.
 The family of the new jurist have not joined him in Birmingham. The appointment came without warning, and only a week prior. Judge Fort leased his hohe in Birmingham, not seeing any immediate prospects of re- turning to the practice of law in the Magic City, as he had contemplated and when the chance did come for his return, he found that he did not have a house, to which he could take his family.
 Although the office of Criminal Judge of Jefferson County Is one of great importance. 1t Is said that Judge Fort does not feel that he has really been given a promotion. for he consid- CTS that the private secretary to the Governor of a State occupied a position second to none.

suppression of gambling in cotton fu-
 tursA
 The Senate approved an agreement with Great Britain relating to the uses
 of boundary waters between the Uni
 ted States and Canada
 In the House, there has been organ. ized open insurrection against the rules. but in the Senate, the opposi- ton did not go beyond some snarp criticisms by new Senators. The movement was designed as a warning to future sessions.
 In the House 1t will have the imme- diate effect of the establishment of a
 calendar day" for the call of bills on
 the union calendar every Wednesday. About 3S.0O0 bills were introduced | in the two Houses and $500 resolu- tions presented.
 About 275 of the public bills will be-
 come laws. There will be about 175 private bills enacted. The latter.
 however. are estimated to represent about 5000 private bills introduced, l as many of the private bills finally
 passed were omnibus bills. About nifty resolutions were finally agreed to-. Early in the Sixtieth Congress, the President declared himself in favor of: A national child labor law. An employers liability law. l Antiinjunction legislation. Amendments to the sherman anti | trust law for good corporations and for labor unions.
 Financial legislation. Postal savings banks. Revision of the tariff. Waterway commission. Regulation of water rights on navi- gable streams.
 When the Congress ends there will
 be no national child labor law, no pos- | tai savings bank, and no additional | regulation of water rights. However. a child labor law was enacted for the District of Columbia.
 An employers liability law has re-
 placed the one declared unconstitu
 tional. commercial currency law
 was enacted. and a monetary commits
 sion is investigating the subject of
 further financial legislation. Active
 steps looking to a revision of the tar
 If have been taken. All through the
 present session the House Committee on Ways andl Means has been con-
 sidering tarif to lay before the spe- cial session to convene March-15. The Waterways Commission has made an investigation. looking to the better regulation of water rights on naviga-
 ble streams.
 In each session, two giant battle ships were authorized. Aerial naviga- tion, however. was not recognized in the appropriation bills. The increase in the pay of those in the Government
 service was another feature of the Congress. At the same time the purse strings of the treasury were loosed, so that widows of the men who have fought for the nation would be assured of pension.
 Among the prominent investigations authorized were those of the Browns vile affair. the secret service. subma- rine legislation and the paper indus try The waterways, immigration, monetary. Brownsville and postal com missions were created.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MEETINGS ARE HELD IN MANY
 CITIES.
Miss O'Reilly, "The Girl of the Tene- ments,~ Says That Womens Bpains are Better Than
 Mems Brains.

New York. Feb. 2s.-Throughout the United States today in every city in which a meeting could be arranged. stration" under the auspices of the Socialist party and the Socialist wo- mans Societies.
 The meetings were provided for the National Conference of the Socialist party in Chicago. which set February 2S aside as Woman Suffrage Day. :"
 The meetings were held here in fur therance of the plan. one in tho Mur ray Hill Lyceum in Manhattan, the other in the Labor Lyceum in Brook lyn.
 In the Manhattan. meeting. Miss Leonora oReilly. the Girl of the Tenements." and a prominent member of the trades union, made a speech. in which she denounced the women who oppose equal suffrage.
 Miss O'Reilly was one of those who spoke before the Judiciary Committee of the Assembly at Albany last week She said one of the legislators had spoken ffippantly of the quality of womens brains.
 There are many men there." said Miss O'Reilly. 'who are no earthly good. They need the brains of wo- men. I think that as rule. womens brains al, .etter than mems brains"
 Miss Meta Stern. well-known as a Socialist writer. under her pen name of "Hebe." also spoke. She derided the "pampered and petted women of the so-called upper classes who have formed anti-suffrage societies. She said they are foolish and narrow" and afraid of responsibility.
 One thousand women and several hundred men attended the meeting in Brooklyn, which enthusiastically en- dorsed the right of women to vote.
 Mrs. Frances Mathew Frazer, pre- sided over the Athering and made the chief address. She declared that If women were granted the right of suf- frage, child labor would undoubtedly be regulated on a more humane basis if permitted a tall.

Billion Dollar Session
 Was Sixtieth Congress

Wash hington, Feb. 2S.-Now that bil- rule. little other than appropriations Legislation can be enacted during the short sessions and the one to end this week Is no exception.
 The appropriation for the session will probably be the largest on record, exceeding the sl.o0s.ooo,ooo of the first session. As only one of the fifteen general appropriation bills of this ses- sion has been sent to the President for his signature. an accurate state- ment of the amount to be appropriated Is impossible.
 Scarcely any of the general policies of the country were touched upon this session.
 The discussion in both Houses of the secret service and of the Panama ca nal and in the Senate of the Browns vile affair and of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company purchase, has brought the administration of Theo- dore Roosevelt prominently Into view. The veto of the census bill because the employees for the taking of the next census were not to be placed under civil service regulations. was another interesting chapter of the session.
 An appropriation of $S00,000 for the relief of the Italian earthquake suf- fsrers was made at the beginning of the session.
 The passage of a law for the sup pression of the opium habit In this country, 1t is hoped, will exert wide moral influence. A law was passed for the preservation of the Calaveras big trees in California. Another act authorized enlarged homestead entries in the arid region of the West.
 It practically is assured that the monumental work of revising and codi- flying the penal code of the United States will be completed at this ses- sion. An agreement has been reached by the conferees of the two bodies. As a result of this legislation, the United States government will, through a rider" enter the field of regulating the interstate shipment of intoxicating liquors. An amendment to the code prohibits interstate c. o. D, shipments of intoxicating liquors and provides for the marking of the package of such liquors in interstate commerce with the bona fde name of the consignee and the nature of the contents. Sev- eral of the so-called "Ku Klux" laws are stricken from the statutes by this revision.
 The statehood bill. admitting Arizona and New Mexico. 1t Is conceded, cannot pass this session.
 The fate of the Gallinger ocean mall subsidy bills rests with the House. It provides for subsidizing mail lines to South America, Japan. Asia, the Phll- ippines and Australasia.
 Among important measures regarded as certain of failure to pass are the Burke wireless telegraph bill; the Weeks forest reserve bill, the Cur Tier copyright bill, the $500. .ooO, 900 bond issue for improvement of water ways; changes In the government Of the Isthmlan canal zone, Federal in- spection of naval stores and grains and

Grand Cross of Legion of Honor Con-
 ferred Upon Him.

Berlin, Feb. 28.-Jules Cambon, the French Ambassador to Germany, yes terday conferred upon Herr von Schoen, the German Foreign Minister. the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. as an indication of France'h satisfac- tion over the Franco-G German agree ment on Morocco.
 This event and the simu+taneous dec oration of Prince von Hadolin, tn e German Ambassador at Paris, has made an agreeable impression in Ser lin political circles. It Is interpreted as meaning that the relations between France and Germany are on a better footing than for many years, with a bright prospect of so continuing.
