WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Congress reconvened today after the Christmas holidays and the Alaska railroad bill is now scheduled for cons:d araiion in both the Senate and the House and will soon be disposed Of
 Dozens of Alaskans are here in the interest of the bill besides large corporation lobby working for the sale of the Cordova railroad The at torneys for the Seward road are bit terly opposed to government building of railroads, claiming that they will build to the coal fields and on into the interior if congress will only lift the icy hand of conservation and re- verse the policy of the bureaucrats who have retarded and prevented the construction of the Seward road by their policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. F. The Dem Ocratic leaders of congress are divid-- ed as to the advisability of pushing the antitrust legislation through congress with a rush or even wait ing first for the business interests to adjust itself to the changed condi- tions under the new tariff and cur lency bills. The majority opinion is for rapid action, claiming that as the trusts and large business interests of the country must come sooner or lat CT to realization that the govern ment intends to prevent aggression on the part of the corporations that it had better be done at once and the new system started.
 Democratic congressman state that as soon as the new laws are passed business will be established on d sound basis and that the new laws will insure greater prosperity to the country than ever before and that the present depression is only due to the unsettled conditions and will remain unsatisfactory until congress has de cided upon the laws under which big business is to be operated.

BIG MAZDA LAMPS
 F0R N. '. TIMES
Are Newest and Latest Made, Giving 5000 Candle Power-Oniy Two
 in Existence.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The New York Times Company have installed two 5000 Mazda lamps in the arch way of their building. These lamps are the largest incandescent lamps in the world and were built by the Gen eral Electric Company especially for The Times.
 The lamps are of 5000 candle pow CT each This high illuminatin pow CT is due to the fact that the light burns in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas instead of in vacuum.
 The Mazda lamps are of all sizes and kinds. Only in the case of the very large lamps of high candle DOW CT does the illumination take place in an atmosphere of gas. For the smaller type of lamps this is not practicable. Nitrogen gas is not the only gas used with large lamps, and the General Electric Company is now engaged in experimenting with argon as {; suitable gas. In some of the Mazda lamps of lesser power the oiu system. of burning in a vacuum is re- tained, but with new features which give increa sed power of illumination for less amount of current.

doned nearly all of the northern part of the republic, after they had been beaten and forced to seek safety in the mountains or the United States, was not accepted as indicating that the rebels would be unresisted on their advance south
 Some belief was expressed that the federals had an object in evacuating Chihuahua and other isolated fedeal posts, in which it was impossible for them to do much more than defend themselves, and that their purpose in doing so was to permit more con- certed and energetic defense in the central and southern states, where forts are more numerous and com nlunication is easier.
 If General Villa carrles out his an nounced intention of augmcnting his present army of 1000 by picking ul' scattered bands about Torreon and Zacatecas and of massing a force of 20, 900 or more rebels on the march 10 Mexico City, he will entirely alter the constitutionalist plan of cam paign. Heretofore the rebels have been scattered, while the strength of the federals has been divided by their paving to garrison the northern cit - ies.
 An ex-officer of the German army arrived here today to help Gen. Villa in drilling his volunteer troops in preparation for their expected battles with the federals in the south As the rebels gain territory the rel ative positions of the federals and rebels will be reversed, the latter | having to protect what they have wen, while the federals will be more at liberty for aggressive fighting. It was this condition that led Villa to consider whether the government at Mexico City Was not planning a cam paian Of considerable extent further south. where the comparatively un disciplined forces might have 10 con tend with greater numbers and super , ior ti"hing machinery.
