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.

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. Tin- London journals
are full from day to day of comments
upon the attitude of our State depart
merit and that of Lord Salisbury with
resoect to a conference over Bering sea
affair* The Kligli-h press seems t> be
a unit in indorsing Lord Salisbury's
vie'« that England should not partici
paie in a conference in which Japan
and Russia should he partif.s
"The real absorbing topic ir| England
today is the great strike of the engin
em Uftmtmto paralyseEagfiab
industries, and to postpone the eomplc
tion of many business enterprise-" It
is a contest between organized hitior
and organized capital I'p to this time
neither party seems willing to (rive way
and what the outcome will Is- it is dilli
cult to perdict. It is a strike which, in
its proportions, its im|>ortancc, and its
far reaching influence, is such as we
have never known in thiw country. Its
existent gives tiie lie to the free trad
er's claim that *uoh in'l'isti ial outbreaks

promptly, do our business promptly
and get away within a reasonable

OBITUARY NOTES
George M. Pullman, the car-builder,
died at his home in Chicago, Tuesday.
He was born in Chautauqua county, N.
Y.. in 1831; went to Chicago in '•"»!>,
built his first "sleeper" in '(55, and has
made millions in the business since.
Charles A. 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."
