New York, April 29.-(Special.) )-How long will the present session of Con- gress last? As the late lamented Lord Dundreary would have said, That's one of those things no fellah can find out"
 It depends on so many things which are yet to be developed that 1t is a matter of sheer guesswork. Of course there are some whose guesses are worth more consideration than the guesses of others.
 Hon. Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, for example, whose guess is worth while paying attention to. Aside from Speaker Champ Clark and Chairman Underwood of the ways and means com mittee, I know of mo- one who Is more likely to be en rapport with what Is going on than the gentleman from Eu- faula Here is what he says about it.:

TRAMP TROUBLES
 MRS. o. H. P. BELMONT

New York, April 29.-There was no end of excitement in the Hotel Plaza this morning, for which. Mrs. o. H. P. Bel mont was an unwilling contributory cause.
 A shabby man who says he has no home and gave his name to the police as James Burke, would not take the word of the clerks that Mrs. Belmont was not in the hotel. He was shown to the door but re-entered, went to the second floor and was caught trying the doors. When he saw the house detec- tive coming, he. ran to a hall window opening on the roof of the dining room, let himself down on the roof, clambored over it to another hall window and was overtaken as he was climbing into the corridor
 When the house detectives laid han Is on him, he fought like a mad man and shouted Mrs Belmont's name until il could be heard in the streets.
 Overpowered, he was arrested and taken to a police station.
 .What made you think Mrs. Belmont was n?" asked the magistrate, when Burke was arraigned
 "Why, Mrs. Belmont is my wife. I guess man ought to know where his wife is,'' replied the prisoner He was fined s10, and lacking the money, went to prison.

These 13 losses would have been gains to New York, Pennsylvania, Cal ifornia and Washington.
 The 13 states that would lose under the old apportionment are powerful enough in combination to cause the Congress to disregard It's best judg- ment and to increase the membership of the House in spite of the fact that that body already Is too large to per init the orderly discussion and dispat tch of the public business.

 Tn 1894 at the last session of the Fifty fourth Congress-you will re- member the republicans had reclaimed the House from the democrats-among the veterans who had been swept out of public life by the republican land slide were Dick Bland and Holman of Indiana. They had been members of the House for a quarter of a century and it was their first defeat. They were seated in the democratic cloakroom talking. You may imagine that there was much gloom in that part of the House, while the republicans were shouting with laughter at the other end. Speaker Reed passed, and as his custom, he stopped to joke with the democrats. When lie approached Hol- man and Bland the latter spoke up, Tom, have been telling Holman that I am a~better financier than he."

my opinion that the Senate will not pass the Canadian reciprocity measure nor any tariff bills at the session. Sen ator Cummins and his crowd, believe plan to delay favorable action on these measures, and will, tn ink, try to bring about an adjournment of Congress about the last of August without pass ing reciprocity or anything else, wait ing for the report of the tariff board This board, they expect, will be ready with information about October 1 and then it may be suggested that tho President can call another extraordi- nary session of Congress to act finally upon reciprocity and other tariff mat ters. This. understand, is just dope but I rather think it is the programme of the insurgents in the Senate"
 This may be as Judge Clayton says, dope but it is a fine line of dope" worth giving careful consideration.
 It is borne out by the very leisure- ly way in which the Senate is getting ready for business. If that august body was really anxious to work 1t would not have taken a month to fix up the committees.
 Whether the House will consent to adjourn or take long recess with all Its work hung up is a question. l have heard some influential men in the House declare that they are prepared to stay here until the regular session begins if this is necessary to force action by the Senate.
 The new House of Representatives will consist of 433 members. This has been definitely decided. The ratio of representation will be 211,S77 as against 194,192, as at present. The AZ additional members are distributed as follows: Sixteen states, Alabama. Col orado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louis- jana. Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah. and West Vir- ginia, will gain one member each; five states, Illinois, Massach usetts, New Jer- sey, Texas and Washington. will gain two members each; two states, Cali fornia and Oklahoma, will gain three members each one state, Pennsylvania, will gain four members, and one state New York, will gain six members.
 If the House were held to its pres- ent membership 12 states would lose total of 1S representatives. Missouri would lose two and Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentcky, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio. Tennessee, vir- ginia, and Wisconsin would lose one each.

MORE LIGHT URGED
ON D|X|E'S HISTORY
Southern Society Speakers
Include Secretary Dickinson
and Champ Clark.

A plea for more general knowledge
of Southern history and achievements
was the feature of the first meeting Of
Washington last night at the Confed-
crate Memorial Home.
Among the speakers at this meeting
were Secretary of War Jacob NJ. Dick
inson, the president of the society;
Champ Clark, Major Holmes Conrad,
and other prominent in the modern
South. Almost all the speakers made
plea for a more general knowledge
of the part the South has taken in the
building up of the country and the
great number of Southern statesmen
and patriots who have helped to make
the United States what il is today.
Champ Clark said: When l visited
Massachusetts 1 thought, from the way
in which the people there spoke, that
only Massachusetts, citizens had had a
zens of that State were entitled to any
recognition. 1t struck me at the time
and 1t strikes me now, that the South
needs a little advertising, a little more
general knowledge that all the heroes
of the Revolution, of the war of 1872 and
OF other struggles did not come from
the North, and that the South con-
tTibuted her share"
Secretary of War Dickinson spoke
principally on Southern tradition and
Southern history, while Major Conrad
considered the South from the stand
point of a resident and advocated a
greater knowledge Of what had been
accomplished by her residents.

street northwest, and Preston Hol-

married last night at the rectory Of
Christ Church by the Rev. Morton.
Upon the return of the couple to
Washington, Francis r. Roberts, one
of the members of the wedding party,
went to the home OF the groom's 8
mother, Mrs. A. Holloway, and advised
her of the elopement. She invited her
son and his bride to her home.
The elopement was planned because
the groom was only twenty years OF
age and he could not obtain his
mothers consent. The bride, who is
eighteen years of age, is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. e. T. Brown. The
romance had its inception a year ago
when the young people met on a sleigh
ride.
