Wishes to Avoid Excitement.

Mr.. Gibson, who introduced the resolu-
ton. said that it was prompted by the
fact that too many organizations were
taking up the matter, most OF them look
ing largely TO some end which they
themselves had in view. The joint com
mittees were OF the firm opinion that
some action ought to be taken, but they
had expressed themselves as unwilling
10 trust TO the excitement of the mo-
ment. which might lead TO hasty and i'll

10 the conclusion that 1t was best 10 put
the matter into the hands of a smaller

CLOSING or NAVY yARos
AND MINT The CAUSES
Gulf ceast to Lee Three stations and
New orlsans tie Mercy Factory -
Government Has Best q Arguments
--Nava. statiens United For Pres
ont Needs.
Especial correspondence.I

! washington, sept. 2s.-southern
members o. congress are expected a.
the coming regular session to stir up 2
/ big row over the manner in which the
south il being deprived Of the beneh'
OF certain government institutions with
respect to which it seems the rest OF
the country is more favored.
! The two matters that are expected
particularly. to stir southern members
to wrath are the closing down OF the
navy yards on the south Atlantic ana
gulf coasts and the closing OF the mint
At New Orleans.
For. the first time in years, it so hap
pens that the house. which after all
controls appropriations. il democratic
and the great majority Of its members
are from the southern states. Yet. IN
spite Of this fact. the administration
has entered on the policy OF closing
down the navy yards south of Norfolk.
AZ for the mint at New Orleans. 1t has
been decided practically 20 make :a:s
1 thing Of the past inasmuch a. no ap-
preparation IL to be asked for 1t next
year 4by the treasury department.
To Close Three Naval Stations.
It is true that the actual shutting up
Of the navy yards at New Orleans,
Pensacola and Charleston has not oc-
CURED, but Secretary Meyer is working
to that end as rapidly az possible. New
Orleans and Pensacola yards have al
most entirely ceased their activities.
unless congress Wills otherwise. there
will soon be no navy yards south OF
Norfolk on either the Atlantic or guilt
coasts.
It II hardly to be expected the south
ern members Will cit by and COM
placently see the program as to the
navy yards or the New Orleans mint
carried OUT. They are in position to
control the ,.situation inasmuch as they
control the house appropriations COM
nittee and the democratic caucus.
They are in position to make things
extremely embarrassing for Secretary
Meyer and the navy department and to
mint at New Orleans.
Government Has Best Argument.
On the other hand. the administra-
ton will have powerful arguments on
its side. It can, be shown that the navy
yards below Norfolk are not adapted
to the purposes Of the great battleships
which now comprise the chief part OF
the navy As for the minis. 1t 10 not
difficult to show that. inasmuch as the
work al Philadelphia. Denver and San
Francisco il being cut down. and mas
much az these minis have more geo.
graphical reasons for existence than
the one at New Orleans. the ad-
ministration Is Justified in shutting
down the one at New Orleans.
Congress. however. has been more or
less open to The argument that when
there are any government activities to
be distributed, every section OF the
country should be favored as far as
possible. Besides, the south will be
able to point out that in addition to be-
Ing deprived of mint and navy yards.
the indications are that by action OF
the war department 1t 10 going to be
cut out of any share in the few sreat
army posts which are now In gradual
process Of eSta bliShment.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Apparently al
trace Of reciprocity excitement had dis
appeared today from the wheat pit. In
stead there was tendency toward re-
action from the rapid advance which
followed the rejection Of the proposed
tresty with Canada. Bearish sentiment
was aided by favorable crop reports
from Russia. Cable dispatches were
disappointing to the bulls. as there
was no foreign response to the strength
which was shown yesterday. The open

Afterward Kansas sales OF wheat to

Fer Lent.


In so-called society" social func.
tons assume a simpler character dur
ing Lent and many overworked ma
irons who live In q grand whirl of din
ners. balls and teas are recuperating
for the summer season by resting at
southern resorts.
During the next few weeks sewing
circles will spring up like mushrooms
and really q surprising quantity OF
work will be turned out for the benefit
of charities and friendly aid" all
over the country.
A coterie of young matrons have
formed themselves into what they call
the Doll Brigade" and they are each
pledged to dress five dolls during
Lent with clothes that will come OF.
An Interested set Of young men have
promised to provide each doll with
trunk and next Christmas these SELF
same dollies are going to a certain
ward in a large city hospital that
bears the placard 'Incurable."
Perhaps We all do not keep Lent,
but I say any season of the year that
causes this sometimes apparently SELF
ish world to stop and think how best
to help others is good thing and I
hope to be able to chronicle some
scheme for lending the helping hand"
each week in this column until the
glad Eastertide.

would not be put off with short re-
plies.
"Eh-how do you manage to plant
