BEACOM. COMMISSIONER. A. 0. EBIBJLABT. WASHINGTON'. The first regular seswion of the new Congress will meet on the first Mon cember. There is little doubt that the aes«rion will be a long and inter- . fliu one: The Hawaiin Annexation ' question will occupy the early atten ' tion of the Senate, and the Cuban ques tion will be a fruitful source of discus BIO:A for some time to come. Then tne cnrrencv question is likely to occupy a great deal of attention, especially if the recently appointed committee completes its work in time and makes its recom inendations to Congress. These lead ing questions with others likely to develop during the session are likely to make the first session of this Congres.- of unusual interest to the public. It is worth noting that the earnings of the second month of the Dingley law were greater than those of the second month of the Wilson-Gorman law. not withstanding the exactly reversed con ditions of affairs when the two laws went iato effect. The officials of the Treasury Department are likelv to be justified in their predictions that when importations have reached a n >rmal condition the revenue nnder the new law will be ample to meet the Goven ment expenses. FIFTY-THOCSAND people surrounded Miss Cisneros, on Madison Square New York, last Saturday evening and gave her such an ovation as would tend make her forget her long imprisonment. She in the daughter of a Cuban and was imprisoned by Wevler on her fathers account. The Cuban Junta of New York employed a young man named Decker to go to Havanna and release her. if pwible. He went there, secured assist in • , rented a house near the prison, cut the bars one night and got her out, and got her passed to the steamer, dressed as a boy, on a forged pass. It was a risky job, and it was well planned and executed. WanamiVer and Stewart. Mr. Wanamaker's private o ffie is not more than 10 by 12 in size. He does his work at a little $25 desk, <-rowded np under the window, so that the light falls over his right shoulder, as he sits there looking over the figures of each day s business. He rose, and as we shook hands I could not see that he looked a day older then when he wan Postmaster General. Still, he is now in his sixtieth year, and he has been in active business life for more than a genetation. He has few wrinkles and does not look hurried or worried. As I shook hands with him I remarked npon his freshness, and said to him that he did not seem to be over worked. He replied: "No; lam not overworked. Still, I have plenty to do. I have to spend a part of each week in New York. 1 get reports from my New York store every morning, and the business of two estab lishments is, of course, greater than one." "I suppose your business extends to the whole country, Mr. Wanamaker, does it not?" "No," was the reply; "it is largely local. The business of any great store must be near home. My chief custom ers are within a radins of 100 miles of New York and Philadelphia. Of course, we sell some goods by mail, but the real business is made up of the goods which we sell across the coun ters." "I should think. Mr. Wanamaker, that this store would have been large enough for one man. You have made a great snccess here Why did yon add to your work bv buying the establish inent in New York. " "Why do we do anything?' si.id the merchant. "It is hard to telj. I can only say I saw that there was an open ing for such a store as I have in New York. I took it. not that I wanted to compete with otbei merchants there, but that I might succeed in satisfying the demand which I thought existed. I was right. The.store has done better than I expected." " Mr. Wanamaker you are one of the largest advertisers in the conntry. 1 noticed that you keep your advertise ments running during the hard times. Many of the merchants have left them drop. Does it pay to advertise when times are hard?' "I certainly think so," replied Mr. Wanamaker. When the times are hard and people are not buying is the very time tliat advertising should 1k; the heaviest. You want to get the people in to see what yon have to sell, an.l you mnst advertise to do that. When the times are good they will come of their own accord. But I believe in ad vert is ing all the time. We never stop adver tising. "You use the news papers almost al together for advertising, do you not?" "Yes,; I have tried all kinds, bnt I think newspaper advertising is by far the best. I used to spend a great deal of money in posters and bills, bnt I have given up that long ago." "Can yon see any immediate results from snch advertising?" 1 asked. "I shonld think so." replied Mr. Wan amaker. "If you will come over here or to our New York store some morn ing when we have advertised a job lot of bicycles or of some other things and look at the lonj? line of people who art standing outside waiting till the doors are open, yon will see bow the advertise ments in the newspapers are read." "Then advertising is one of the c hief elements of business success, is it not?" "It is one of the elements, but not the chief," replied the great merchant. "The chief element is getting what the people want, in keening your eyes on the parts of the world where new things are made and in giviDg them the best and the newest things along the lines of their real or fancied needs. My aim is to get the goods. The advertisement is merely to tell the people that I have them I like an advertisement which merely describes what wo have in the store. ' "How do yon like doing business in New York?' "Yery much, indeed. Have you been iu my store yet?" "No, I have not," 1 replied. "You ought to visit my store the next time you are in New York," said Mr Wanamaker. "It is worth visiting to see the building, if for nothing else. A. T. Stewart was a genius. I have been surprised again and again as I have gone through that building, walk ing in that dead man's shoes to And what a knowledge he had of the needs of a mercantile establishment. Mr. Stewart put np a bnilding which is to day, I believe, better arranged than any of the modern structures wfiich are be ing erected. He seemed to know jnst what was needed." Did yon know .Mr. Stewart?" I asked. "Yes I met him often when I was a yonng man. I nsed to bny goods of him, and I have reason to think that he took a likingjtome. One day I remember, I was in his woolen department buying some stuffs for my store here when he came up to me and ask<sl me if I would be in the store fifteen minutes longer. I replied that 1 would Me then went away. At the end of 15 minutes he returned and handed tnea slipof paper, saying; "Young man, I understand yon have a mission school in Philadelphia; use that for it " ' Before I could reply he had left 1 .. 'looked down at the slip of paper. It was check for $1,000." "But A. T Stewart was not noted for his charities, was he, Mr. Wanamaker?' "He did a good deal of good in secret, was the reply. "He was always doing something for others. He gave $30,000 to the people who lost by the Chicago tire, and when he died, you know, he was building a million dollar home for thi working girls of New York. He had manv charitable plain that were nt-ver carried out After the Franoo- Gfrnian war he Bent to France a lot of flonr for the starving people of Pan-, and during the famine in Ireland he sent a lot of provisions to that conntry. He was. in fact a wry charitable man." How did Mr. Stewart look. Mr Wanamaker':' ise was lather slight and of not over medium height, with fair hair and light blue eyes. He was a man of fine tastes and of much culture." "Was he a great merchant?" • Yes: I think he was the greatest this conntrv ha.-- ever had Look over his life and you will think the same. He was the son of an Irish farmer. He first came to the United States as a teacher. When he was '2l years old he 1 »ought $3,(100 worth of Belfast laces and linens and opened a store for thc ~a!e of these in New York. He slept at this time in the rear of his shop. He trimed his capital over and increased his business until he had what was said to be the largest retail store in the world. The building alone cost Mr. Stewart nearly $3,000,000, and its cur rent expenses at the time of his death were about $1,000,000 a year. In his two stores he was at that time doing a business of about $2,000,000 a year. He had, in addition to these, branch stores in different parts of the world, and he was the owner of a number of mills and factories. When he died he was said to lie worth about $40.000,OOP •"How about the times, Mr. W ana maker: is business impreveing? • Yes. somewhat. was the reply. The tariff has opened the gate, and the beneficial effects which are com ing from it have been added to by the misfortunes of other nations in having poor crops while we have good ones. As yet, however, there are still many people unemployed. Many of those who have secured work through better times are saving their money to pay their debts, so we do not yet feel the good times as we shall later on.' Then yon think our prosperity will continue ?" •I believe we will have to spell of good times. We cannot expect that the crops will always lie poor in South America, India and Enrope. and this element of our present prosperity may be lacking next year. Still the tariff will start the mills to going, and our biggest demand after all is the demand at home. ' Has the tariff already raised the price of goods V "Certainly it has," was the reply. "We received to-day, for instance, an invoice of steamer rugs. They actually cost us s7"i7 apiece. These same rags we have been selling here in the store under the old tariff rate for *7 50. No one would ask ns to sell rugs at that price which really cost ns 7 cents more, so yon see the price must go up. It is the same with other things. The tariff must necessarally make a general raise in prices " "Do the people realize the prices are rising?" "Ye*, indeed, they do, replied the merchant. There has been no time within the recent years when the peo ple have realized just how many cents there are in a dollar so well as they do now. They have learned through the hard times to fignre closely, and they are much more economical than they were before the hard times came." "Is not that a go'sl thing all around Mr. Wanamaker?" "I don't know about that, was the reply. "In order for us to have good times the people must not only make money, but they mnst also sjx-nd it free ly The two thing;, are reciprocal. It is the market that keeps the factories and the stores going, and pays the wages." "How about your connection with the Postoffice Department. Have yon ever regretted your official career there?" . "I can't say that 1 have," replied Mr. Wanamaker. "I don't like to criticise the postoffice and fiostal matters, now that lam out of office. The machine is not rightly organized and managed as it should be. The real boss of the department is Congress at the other end of the city on the hill. Congress makes the laws which govern the department, and the Postmaster General is depend ant on Congress for everything he gets. There aru scores of ways in which the business there might lie Itettered, if the Postmaster General had only the power to act. He has not the power, however, and our postal system will never be what it should be under our present conditions of government." "You were strongly in favor of J>OH tal savings banks, were you not? "Yes," was the reply. "I thought they would help the |>oor. FKAMK <l. CAHI'KNTKK. THK historic old town Windsor, Nova Scotia, was destroyed by lire on Sun day. Two people were burned to death.

BIHMAKK c-ills the Monroe Uoctrim uncommon insolence on our part to wards the rest of the world, Oalzell Talks Of KttjflaiMi. Representative Dalzell of Pittsburg returned to Washington :i few days, and talked of his trip to Enrope to a newspaper man as follows. '"I enjoyed very much my two months' sojonrn abroad, bnt enjoyed mv return home more. I have not seen any place that strikes me as being quite equal to my own conntry. Ido not mean to say that there are not many things on the other side that we do not have here and that compel admiration, such Things, for instance, as belong t'> an older civilization than ours. But 1 do mean to say that it seems to nie that in the conveniences and comforts of lite people abroad are far behind us. Of course this judgement is from an Amer ican standpoint, and mu';h allowance is to be made for differences in environ ment and education. "I went abroad for rest and recrea tion. .and not to study social or econom- Ie questions, and I cannot enlighten von very much, I am afraid, in that direction. Our course took ns through a jrfjrtion of rural England, through Northern Wales, through a portion of Ireland, and a part of the time we spent in Paris and in London. Rural Eng- lmd is very beautiful, and if one should make up a judgement from a cir window view he would be disposed to say that the people were contented and happy. The fanu houses are com fortable-looking, the outbuildings are extensive and the fields seemingly very fertile. If all of England were culti vated, as it might be. agriculture ought t J thrive, as it does not seem to do. The real trouble, as it seems to be. • is that there is so small a part com para tively devoted to agriculture. Thou sands upon thousands of aiTes are in cluded in the parks and pleasure grounds of the nobility. Fertile fields that ought to produce the cereals so much needed are devoted to the pleansre grounds and game pre serves of the nobility. We heard much of the coming hunting season. What enjoyment is to tie derived from butch ering pheasants and rabbits as tame as chickens is beyond my concep tion. We visited one place near Chester. Eaton Hall, the residence of the Duke of Westminster, where we found them raising pheasants in coops jnst alongside of chickens and found them as tame as the chickens themselves. And yet these are to be the sports of the hunts men when the hunting season opens, My observation in Ireland leads ine to believe that the newspaper forebodings as to a possible famine there are not without foundation .Year by year less and less ground is being devoted in Ire land to the raising of cereals and more and more to the raising of hay and to pasturage. The past season has been exceedingly wet, and iu many places we saw from the car windows hay stacks resting in pools of water and in many places hay nnwinnowed because of the wet Many of the fanners with whom I talked in the south of Ireland spoke in the most despondent terms of their condition, complaining of the failure of crops and the great increase in the price of flour. •So far as political questions are con cerned, I do not know that I can en lighten you much. I did not undertake to come in contract with any of the putflc men abroad, or discuss political or social questions. Parliament was not in session when we were in London, and most of the prominent public men weie out of town. "Ho far as the Dingley law is con cerned, it goes without Haying that it t» not popular abroad. I spent a iiortion of a day in a linen factory in Belfast, Ireland, and wan very ranch interested in tin- processes of manufacture The person who showed us around said that pending the passage of the Dingley bill the factory had been running full, both as to numlter of hands and an to time, so as to export their product in advance of the bill becoming a law. lint since tiit- enactment of the law they had only beep running on short turns. I learned that the linen of Ireland in made not from the Irish flax, but largely from flax imported from France and Bel gium. Indeed, the manager of the con cern> with whom I talked said that a single factory of large proportions would exhaust the entire output of Irish flax. It o'-eured to me that if it be true as claimed, that our American crop of Ha\ is not of a character to make linen there was no reason in the world why we could not make linen in America from imported flax, just as the Irish do, and just as I believe we will do under the provisions of the Dingley law In fact, the Committee of Ways and Means had that object in v : ew when our bill was framed and I believe that the duties provided for by the hill are Much that we shall successfully bnild op a ljnen industry in thin court try, j" H t as under the provisions of the McKinley law we built up a tin plate industry, "There is absolutely no excitement upon the other side with respect to our relations with Spain, or as to Cuban affairs, nor i» there any excitement with respect to Hawaiian matters. No lxjdy dreams ol a possible war between the United States and Spain, and every body seems willing to acquiesce in whatever the United States may deter mine to do with respect to Hawaii. "Mr- Sherman does not seem to he very popular with the fyiglisb pe >ple. They do not like the tone of his diplo matic correspondence. They say he is too peremptory.

Dana, the veteran editor of the N. V. Sun. died at his home on Long Island, last Sunday Mr Dana's most striking character istic perhaps was his hatred of cant,and 1 in this is found the key to what appear ed to be the eccentricities of his genius. Rather than indorse or participate in anything that savored of this, he would perhaps give his support to something which was far worse To use a Hiber nian expression, he stood so straight sometimes that he leaned backward. "But. though ho has antagonized and fought every political party that has ex istert during his political career, though he has sacrificed public men and even his fellow newspaper men at times with a vigor that hurt them clear through, all will now join in tributes to his great genius, and will sincerely inoum the loss of so vigorous and forceful a per sonality in public affairs. Not to be able any longer to know what Dana will say will be a real deprivation to millions of intelligent American read ers."
