The manufacture OF linen by the Ger
mans, he says, goes on finely, and
they make fine linen. Samuel Carpen-
ter, having been lately there, declares
that they gathered a crop of flax, and
had sowed for the second. and saw il

And in his description of Pennsylvania.
1885, Gabriel Thomas says: "AIl sorts
of the very good paper are made in the
Germantown; as also very fine linen,
such as no person OF quality needs be
ashamed TO wear"
The German settlement grew steadily
In the years following its location. New
settlers came each year from Crefeld,
and others from the Upper Rhine. and
various other points. Early In the eight
zenith century the colony had grown 10
very large proportions, and the settlers
began striking out in various parts of
the country until, before long, they were
represented in the North, South, and
West. Germantown was incorporated as
town in a charter granted by Penn
and dated August 6. 1889.
The English were. for a time. alarmed
at the influx of such numbers of a for
eign people. but they were not long in
discovering that these Germans were an
industrious, peaee-loying people, fairly
educated. and while wholly ostentatious,
as sincerely religious as the Puritans or
the Quakers.

PLAN A BUSY SESSION
Congress May Enact important
General Legislation.
DISCUSSION AT CAPITOL
Curtailment of Holiday Recess
and Night Sessions Of House
Proposed.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Nov. N.-The earnestness OF
resentatives now at the Capitol makes it
appear almost certain that. despite the
doubts of Speaker Cannon and some of the
other House leaders, important general leg
islation may be obtained at the short ses-
sion So determined are many of the re-
cent arrivals to increase the list Of legis-
Ia1ive achievements of the present Congress
that a plan for night sessions and de-
cided curtailment of the Christmas recess
is being discussed
Representative Martin Of South Dakota
declared to-day that this plan would be
approved by a majority of the Repunli-
cans. The plan was suggested first by
Representative Lawrence, OF Massachu-
setts. a member Of the Rules Committee.
The proposition is 10 hold night sessions
from January Is TO the end OF the session
II necessary, and TO allow not more than
a weeks recess at Christmas. Heretofore
the House has never accomplished much
before the holidays and a recess OF nearly
three weeks has usually been taken The
Democrats have always protested against
this recess on the ground Of extravaganza,
SO Lhat Lney cannot COIlSlSISiLiS OpJSCt 10
the new plan.
Representative Martin is Of the opinion
that the tariff question should be reopened
at the coming session and that Congress
should take up any schedules on which the
Tariff Board is able to make a fairly com
prehensive report. He also desires that
questions pertaining to the government OF
Alaska should be settled and that no rec
ommendation made by President Taft
should be left unenacted except the Fed
eral Incorporation plan and postal subven-
ton. both Of which he opposes.
Some surprise was caused to-day by the
announcement that the River and Harbor
Committee will hold q meeting next week
al which preliminary steps viii be taken Tor
drafting q river and haTbOr bill Repre-
sentative Alexander, of New York, the
chairman, mas sent out notices for the
meeting. He announced in his report on

Last years bill as reported from the com
nittee made direct appropriations Of more
than $31,000 go, but il contained authorize
tions aggregaUng many millions more. The
bill also started many continuing projects
which, Mr.. Alexander contends, must be
provided for this year. There is little qIes-
ton that a river and harbor bill at this
session will arouse a storm Of opposition
from the Democrats, and the House leaders
