But Determined to Reach
Their Goal atAlbany.

Albany n. Y, Jan. 6.-Superstitions
were forgotten by General Rosallie
Jones and her fellow Suffragette hikers
tonight when the hotel at Ravina, 13
miles south of here, hove in sight
With signs of relief they dropped
down on couches, sofas and floors,
openly expressing qualification that the
end of their journey was imminent.
The invading marchers covered ap-
proximately 20 miles over rough, hilly
roads between Catskill and Ravina
today. More than once the badly
bruised feet of the general caused her
great discomfort, but she trudged on
determinedly, fianked by Gen. Ida
Craft and Col. Martha Klatschken, the
only two other women who have not
accepted lift" since leaving New
York. Tomorrow morning, several
hundred men and women and band
of music will join the hikers at the
outskirts of the city and walk in with
them. They will go direct to the capi-
tai and present their petition for
greater rights for Suffragettes to the
Governor and the legislators.

at present he considered that any
statement from him would be i'll ad-
vised but that personally he had not
the slightest objection to the citizens
of Gardiner voting upon the PROPOSE
ton.
Matters were brought to a head by
the motion of E. l.. Bussell that the
Board of Trade assist in every way
in efforts to secure some industries
for South Gardiner. This motion was
amended by John f. Cunningham that
a committee of five members of the
board, including the president, be ap-
pointed by the Chair to this end. The
motion was carried as amended and
Messrs. Knight, Atkins, Libby, Cum
ningham and Ellis were appointed.
Judge Atkins next made a motion
which started the work of the COM
mittee at once, moving that this COM
mittee see that petitions are put in
circulation asking the trustees to Pc
tition the city council that the citi-
zens be given a chance to vote upon
the installation of filter plant and
the extension of the water mains to

as accomplished results in the past.
toward securing the location of some
manufacturing industry at South
Gardiner Mr.. Sawyer stated that he
believed the first step in this direction
was the extension of the water mains
to that section. The old pulp mill
would make an ideal plant. Shipping
facilities are of the best. Fire protec-
ton alone is lacking. Mr.. Sawyer
made an appeal which was responded
to by several gentlemen present.
President Ellis said that negotiations
were already on foot toward locating
concern making wood novelties at
South Gardiner.

AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
11,268 Bills in the House, 1874 Bills in
The Senate Have Been introduced.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The almost i'm
possible task that would confront Con-
gress should it attempt to act upon
all the bills that come before it is
shown by the records of the clerks
offices of the two houses since last
April.
In the House the number of bills
introduced already has reached H.
PCS, while in the Senate less than one
fourth as large in membership, bills
number 1874. With the exception of a
few measures that have been passed,
all those bills are technically now be-
fore the Congress.
The thousands of measures that pour
in at each session have greatly in
creased the work of committees during
the last two years. A great proper
ton of the bills do not get further
than the committee room.
The number of bills passed at ses-
sion seldom exceeds 500, including bills
of a local character.
