LAWYERS RETURN
 FROM WASHINGTON

Friends and opponents of Judge oscar R. Hundley returned yesterday from Washington.
 Both sides are confident of ultimate sue cess.
 The friends of Judge Hundley declare that no new evidence was brought out against him, and they feel sure that the iudiciary committee will make favorable report to the senate.
 The opposition, however contends that the time is now too limited for the sen ate to confirm Hundley this session even if the judiciary committee does make a favorable report They point out that no report will be made within two weeks, and that then there will remain less than three weeks before the adjournment of the present congress, March 4.
 The opposition declares that there is so much business to be transacted in those three weeks that if Senator Bacon or Georgia simply reads the testimony to the senate, he will not conclude his argument by the time of adjournment
 Some members of the opposition are firm in their belief that the Judiciary committee will not make a favorable re- port.
 On the other hand certain friends of Judge Hundley state that it is positive fact that in case Hundley is not con frmed at the present session of Congress Judge Taft will nominate him again when the President elect takes up the reins of government

 In other cities MT. Zobede has at tempted this, sometimes failing on ac- count of the high winds on the top of a sky-scraper, which blew him off his balance, but as "a rule he has succeeded The sensation has always been enough to draw hundreds of spectators to the scene, and immense crowds have watched the small figure of man against the sky He will be dressed in white tights, such as he wears in his act at the Ma jestic, and can be seen plainly by every one on First avenue and Twentieth street for several blocks, as well as by every one in the windows of the Brown-Mar building
