fought at every turn by the Sen.
ate Standpatters, who have
promptly placed back into the
appropriation bills either all or q
part of the amounts trimmed out
of them when they were passed
in the House. The Democrats
proposed to put a stop to practi.
ces long prevalent, of spending
money for no other purpose
than to allow certain Senators
to keep themselves in Congress,
and to cut out unnecessary ex-
pense all along the line. The
saving, if the Democratic bills
should go through as they passed
the House, would be tremendous.
The Senate Old Guard, however,
looks upon the right to dip into
the treasury at will as a God Civ
en- perogative, and the appropri-
alton bills were promptly re-
stored to their former size just
as soon as the Senate committees,
dominated by the Stand patters,
got a hold of them.
The Democratic leaders have
announced, however, that they
will insist on some of the cuts,
and they will adopt drastic meas
ures to enforce their position
unless the Senate recedes.
The Old Guard Senators want
a big expense bill, so they will be
able to point to it, later, as justi-
fication for a high tariff.
DEMOCRATS PROGRESSIVE.
The Democrats of the House
go right on being progressive.
The record that is being made
daily in the lower branch of Con-
gress constitutes even stronger
claim to progressive support in
the coming campaign than the
progressive promises in the Dem
ocratic platform.
The House committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce has
incorporated into the Panama
canal bill a provision which the
New York Herald calls "the
most drastic ever reported from
a committee in Congress F"
This provision stipulates that
no railroad in the United States
may own or control any steam
ship line with which it completes.
The purpose of this provision is
to give the people the full bene-
fit of the Panama canal, by in
surfing genuine and effective
competitor,
LORIMER.
No Senator who voted to re-
tain William Lorimer in the
United States Senate has since
been reelected. Ten senator's
Hale, Scott. Kean, Buckley,
Depew, Piles, Dick, Borrows,
Carter and Flint, who voted for
Lorimer, retired from the Senate
March a. Three others, Payn-
ter, Bailey and Gugg enheim, an
nounced their retirement after
their vote for Lorimer. and two
Foster of Louisiana and Gull
lom of Illinois, both of whom
voted to keep the Blond Boss,
were defeated recently in pri-
maries. Jones of Washington,
who voted to sustain Lorimer in
committee, probably will be de-
feated when he runs again, as
the people of his state are in an
uproar because of his vote.

West Virginia Widow Tells of
Disaster.

Two months ago, Mrs. Elosie
Smith, daughter of Congressman
James A. Hughes left Hunting
ington as the happy bride of
Lucian Smith, wealthy young
man of Morgantown, w. Va,
following a wedding that was
one of the most elaborate social
functions of the year in West
Virginia. This evening Mrs.
Smith returned to her homo here,
accompanied by her father and
mother and other relatives, the
young widow of Lucian Smith,
who went to his death as a hero
in the greatest maritime disaster
in history.
Although her condition was
quite serious, following her
thrilling experience when she
was sent out to sea with the 700
others, who were rescued by the
Carpathia, the young widowed
bride is rapidly recovering from
the terrible shock incident to the
disaster. To a newspaper re-
porter here tonight, Mrs. Smith
told her first complete story of
the awful wreck in which her
husband was one of
THE 1000 VICTIMS.
1T had been a gay night on
board the Titanic" said Mrs.
Smith. Every one on the ship
seemed to glorify in the remark
able record being made by the
vessel on her maiden voyage,
and in the dining saloon the men
bers Of he crew joined with the
passengers in toast to the peer
of all ocean liners. Captain
Smith appeared to be especially
gratified at the record he was
making for the Titanic. and wa s
already a whole day ahead f is
schedule.
Il had retired early in the
evening, but Lucian remained up
with party of men. | was
awakened by a crash and shak-
ing Of the Titanic, but did not
for a moment think anything Sc
rious was wrong. A few min
utes later Lucian came to the
room and told me that the steam
er had run into an iceberg and
all the pas eng rs were being
summoned on deck. He did not
seem to think at that time any
thing was serious, but helped me
dress and put on my heavy cloth
ing and high shoes. A few min
utes after we reached the deck,

that my husband might be allow

the women and children who had
gotten there at that time were in

WEEKLY TRADE REVIE w
Volume of Business Expands, with Fair Reports
of Actipity in Wholesale and .Jobbing Lines

New York, Nay A-R. O. Dun's
weekly review OF trade win tomorrow
say IN part;
The volume OF business continues 10
expand, as is evidenced BY the statistics
Of bank clearings and railroad earnings.
The situation during the past week has
been improved by the much better
weather, which has served to Increase
the retail. and 20 some extent the whole
sale, distribution OF merchandise. More
over, the crop outlook IS now more
favorable both for wheat and cotton,
while there Is a very notable promise
for fruit and hay.
The better weather serves also to
make building operations more active.
The large volume OF business In iron
and steal Is maintained and there II
much pressure on the part OF cOnsum-
ers for prompt deliveries. While In
some branches there Is a quieter move
ment, in others there Is more urgent
demand. and railroad orders for cars and
rails are especially noticeable.
The textile mills are actively occu-
pied and generally confident feeling
prevails in dry goods trade, both as
regards the present and the future.
Trade In footwear Is rather quiet on
the whole, but sales are increasing at
a number OF points and leather con-
tinues very firm. Conditions IN clothing,
chemicals, hardware and other large
branches are described as fairly salts
factory, although there Is not an even
in all lines and some sec
tions appear to be more active than
others."

New York, Nay "a Bradstreet's
weekly review Of trade will tomorrow
say:
In wholesale trade and IN Jobbing
lines there are reports Of 8 fair amount
OF activity. and where crop prospects
are promising. az IN the Southwest and
Northwest. there has been some quicken
ing OF demand. While there is rather
more doing in fall orders. where con-
ndence has been evoked By crop promise,
buying = conservative and to some ex-
tent affected by the more than ordi-
narily excited tone Of pre-conyention po-
htical affairs
''The apparently best situated indus
try at present seems 10 be iron and
steel IN It's nnishcd branches. prominent
in this line being plates, bars. and wire.
For these capacity Is close TO the maxi
mum and prices are strong. In the
cruder lines pig iron Is quieter, leading
buyers having apparently nlled their re-
quirementE. The cotton goods industry
Is well employed. and the slight easing
OF some makes OF .cottons does not i'm
press the trade much. because OF the
strength Of goods generally.
New business in cottons at large mar
kets is moderate. a favorable Industrial
development Of the week was the re-
sumption OF work by 10000 anthracite
coal miners who had been idle since
