THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Flftv seventh Congress has
passed into history with a most
creditable record on the statute
book Perhaps the most important
of recent enactments are the anti
trust provisions of the lust, sessions
which, it is believed will prevent
the destruction of competition by
tlie treat corpora tions and Incidont
nll y will facilitate the bringing to
Justice those companies which at
tempt to violate the law. B th tlio
president mid Attorney General
Knox have expressed satisfaction
with the progress made in this
direction Bnd the republican leaders
say that if it is demonstrated Mint
further amendment of the statutes
is found necessnr.r such will bo
provided by the next congress. A
thoroughly adequate and compre
hensive iginiigratioti law has been
added to the statutes. It contains
no now and radical features hut.
coordinates and harmonizes those
enacted in the past.
Secretary Lodge, spanking to yonr
correspondent on the work of con
press, said after adjournment, "Two
of tho most important laws enacted
this session, in my judgment, are
tho army and the militia reorgani
sation bills. The creation of a gen
eral staff for thecontrol of the army
has long been advocated by Secre
tary Root and is everywhere ac
knowledged toby a step in the right
direction. The militia law will
enable the authorities in the war
department to supervise, to some
extent, the organization of the
militia and unify its accoutrements,
drill and taotics so that in the event
of ' emergency the Federal govern
ment would flrd in the Btate guard
a far more effective organization
than was the case at the beginning
of the Spanish war. I am of course
deeply disappointed at the failure of
the Philippine tariff bill and con
sider the method of the democrats
who defeated it inexcusable. 1 also
regret the failure of the Aldrich
financial bill." It may be said,
however, that thare are some repub
Menus in congress who are glad of
the failue of the Aldrich bill.
The democrats carried out their
threat and during the closing Hours
of the senate talked to death the
Philippine tariff and the Aldrich
financial bills. The senate remained
in session until 2 a. in. on the 4th
of March with the hops of exhaust
ing the democratic" oppoBiton but
Senators Teller and Patterson of
Colorado and Dubois of Idaho main
tallied a pesistent filibuster to the
end. Even the final minutes of the
congress were marred, in the senate,
by bitterness and anger, Senator
Mason of Illinois talking to death a
local bill on which Senator Baily of
Texas was endeavoring to secure a
vote. Finally, however, Senator
Cockrell proposed the usual resolu
tion of thanks to the presiding of
fleer and Senator Frye declared the
senate adjourned.
On March 6th the senate met in
special session and seventeen son a.
tors renewed their oath of office
while ten newly elected members
were sworn in. The three others
had not yet arrived at the capitoi.
The scene in the senate chamber on
the reconvening of tho senate was
brilliant io the extreme. The galler
ies were filled with the friends of
the senators abont to be sworn in
and their "desks were in many in
stances piled with flowers. Sena
tor Gorman's desk was completely
hidden with a number of magnifl
cent floral designs, one standing not
lesa than ten !eet high. All bore
the oriole colors, yellow and black.
Senator Hopkins had the largest
number of floral remeiuberanoes on
the republican side of tho chamber.
Senators Forsker, Spooner, Piatt of
Connecticut, Allison, and Gorman
were the recipients ot vociferous
applause as they came forward to be
sworn. A small amount of routine
business was transacted and the
senate then adjourned.
One of the mis-ant faces in tho
new senate is that of Senator Jones
of Nevada who his served for thi ty
years and has long been recognized
as an able authority on tariff quen
tions. Senator Al'isou took the oath
f t his sixth term, tho longest on
record. As chairman of the com
muteo on appropriations Mr. Allison

clumber and was regarded as the
representative of the best element!
among the democratic senators. His
genial presence will bo missed. Mr. j
Vest was t!i lnt man in the senate
who had served in the Confederate j
congress. 1 vo men on mo repuon-
can side retired with actual relief, j
Tliev are Senators Wellington audi
Simon. Mr. Wellington has long (
been out of touch with bis party!
and, sineo his famous reference to
President McKinley, has been shun- i
ned by tho members of both parties.
Senator Simon of Oregon has never;
mingled with his colleagues. lie- ;
served and tneil nru, he never seemed (
to he able to understand the spirit of
the sonato or to take in good part
the joking to which every now sena
tor must submit. Ho has held him
self aloof from tho first and express- I
ed greatsatisfnetionat theoonclusiion
of his public service.
The president and the party
leaders are intensely interested in
the fate of the treaties which will be
considered by the special session.
At a meeting of the republican
steering committee it has been de
termined to take op the Panama
canal treaty first and Senator Mor
gan insists that he will never dis
continue his opposition unless tho
convention is amended in accordance
with his ideas. Senator Gorman has
been restored to bis old place as
lemocratic leader and much depends
on his attitude towards tlie treaties.
It is being impressed on republican
senators that loyalty to tho treaties
and the administration domands that
they remain in Washington and
attend the sessions. The republican
leaders express confidence that both
inventions can be ratified within a
brief period and Senator Hale is so
sanguine thnt he says the special
Mission will accomplish its work and
adjourn within two weeks but thorn
are few who agree with him.
An error has been discovered if
the immigration bill which, in so far
as known, was made entirely unwit
tingly. The provisions of the bill
are made to apply to all of tie
insular possessions of the United
States, inoluding the Philippines,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, etc.
Heretofore the immigration laws of
those colonies have been enacted by
the war department or the local
governments and euforced by them.
Just what complications the error
will lead to is not yet known as the
matter will be referred to the at
torney general today.

Gams Laws Passed
The senate has passed a bill requir
ing non-resident hunters of the state
and unnaturalized foreign resident
hunters to procure a license before
hunting in the state. Also an act
repealing the ninth section of the act
declaring tho species of fish which
are game and the species which are
commercially valuable. The ninth
section of the act of 29th May, 1901,
makes it unlawful to catch with
seine nets at any time of the year,
carp, catfish, eels and suckers, in any
waters not inhabited by trout except
its internal natural lakes or ponds.
It is not to be understood, however,
that this would allow fishing in the
Delaware with seines for those fish
unless New Jersey concurred. The
law is right in spirit and the privilege
of fishing with seines for the kinds of
fish above enumerated should be
allowed. A bill has also passed
providing, for the appointment of
deputy game protectors.
Work the Roads Now

tliiin while muddy. There are many
places now on township roiuls where

were filled with Modes wonld make

moating xhb bchool house
It's Up to ths Directors, Committee
Does Not Agree
The committee of citizens, ap.
pointed by the school board to ad
vise regarding the site for the new
school house, held a final meeting
last Saturday for Interchange of
views, and signed a paper recom
mending as follows :
II. B. Wells, first choice, Cornolius
lots, Ann and Fourth street, seooud
choice, Catharine street, site now
occupied.
C. O. Armstrong made the same
choices.
E. Warner, first ohoioe, old Bite,
Catharine street, no second.
Thos Armstrong, first choice, old
site, Catharine street, sooond choice
Cornelius lots, Ann and Fourth.
J. H. Van Etteny first choice, Har
ford street, corner Fifth street,
second choice, Cornelius lots.
It is rumored that the school
board lias written the owner regard
ing the Harford street lots and on
receipt of his reply the matter will
be further disonssed.
It is well in a matter of such grave
moment to the interests of the town
an 1 the welfare and oomfort of per
haps sevoral generations of children
that there should be no hasty or ill
considered action. A school house
of the kind proposed would probably
be sufficient to accommodate the
town' for the next thirty or forty
years, and no doubt in time the
number of children attending would
considerably iriorease. The state
superintendent of schools recom
mends that "in towns, the school
lots should be large enough to afford
play ground, and secure good light
and air." "The location should be
central to the population to be ac
commodated, healthful and on good
traveled roads. Low and damp or
bleak and exposed positions should
not be accepted, even as gifts."
Bice of the Cedrio
The new White Star linor the
Cedrio, which recently arrived in
Naw York from Liverpool on her
maiden voyage, is the largest ship
that baa ever been laid down and
launched. Her gross tonnage is
21000 tons, her length 700 feet. If
set down on Broad street with her
stern at the post office she would
extend to the Bank. As her ball is
40 feet deep, the top would prac
tically be on a level with the front
of Brown's Hall. She has in all
nine decks. Her width Is seventy
five feet and she would therefore
completely fill the street. Her
smoke stacks are fourteen feet, three
inohea by eleven feet, so a large team
and wagon could pass down them.
She has a freight capacity of 16,000
tons exclusive of the coal she carries.
If this space were taken up with a
cargo of wheat it would mean 640,000
bushels. As a railroad car has a
capacity of 1,000 bushels, It would
require a train of 640 cars to move
this load. If the length of each car
was twenty feet, the train wonld be
two and one-half miles long. If
flour was stored, she would carry
153,318 barrels, which wonld require
a train of 766 cars to transport and
the train would oover over three
miles of track. She has sleeping
accommodations for nearly 3,000
persons and could therefore accomo
date nearly one third the population
of this county.
Two Bod Accidents
Last Sunday as John Walters
now residing in Matamoras, but
who formerly owned and occupied
the Hamilton farm in Milford town
ship, was coming down the turn
pike hill near the cemetery, the
neck yoke slipped on the pole of his
wagon and the team became un
inanagable. He was kicked on the
head by one of the horses and bo
badly injured that be was taken to
the Port Jervis hospital.
Monday morning Walter H.
Warner met with Bn accident near
the same place. The tongue of bis
wagon broke and the team ran
away. Mr. Warner had a bone in
his arm broken, but his wife was
not injured.

The Library is Popular
The librarian, Mrs. Petri kovsky, of
the Homestead free library, which is
being maintained by the generosity
of James W. Pinchot, says it is a
very popular and widely patronized
institution. Nearly every family in
town, nil who read at all, draw on it
largely for reading mutter. This is
an encouraging aspect. The books
are well selected and it is pleasant to
know that they are a source of
enjoyment, interest and instruction to
so large a proportion of the people of
town. 'lhere is nothing so well
adapted to cultivate a general intelli
gence as a good library well used.
Why would not a reading room in
connection be a great promotor of the
reading habit with tho younger
population.
The Buffalo Murder
The murder of. Burdick in Buffalo
promises to become one of those cases
which Imi file the skill of the detectives.
Speaking of the affair Tlie Brooklyn
Daily Eagle says:
The police are said to he hunting
for the murderer in the "circle" In
which thehite Mr. Burdick "moved. V
His was distinctly what both the
moralist and logician would call
movement in a "vicious circle." The
group in which a murderer is now
being bunted was made up of a small
number of married folk in the dan
gerous years from thirty to fifty,
where passion has been strengthened
by knowledge and prudence weaken
ed by experience.

How to Get Kid of Stumps
The Scientific American gives the
following information to those who
desire to get rid of stumps on their
farms: "Bore a hole one or two
inches in diameter, according to the
girth of the stump, and tiiit inches
deep. Put into it one or two ounces
of saltpetre, fill the hole with w ater
and plug it close. After a few
mouths take out tiie plug anil pour in
about a giil of kerosene and ignite it.
j l'lie stump will smoulder away with
out blazing to the very extremity of
tlie roots, leaving nothing but ashes."

A Teacher's Value to the Public
"What the teacher is counts for
much more than what she knows.
A love of children, unlimited tact
and infinite patience aro the neces
sary natural endowments," writes
Caroline B. LeRow in the Septem
ber Ladies' Home Journal. "Of
course, the ability to teach Implies
the possession of an education,
though noamrnnt of education alone
can make a good teacher. While all
teachers must know more than they
teach, the power to impart toothers
is the important matter, and the one
in which tact or ingenuity is abso
lutely the prime requisite. More
over, she should be personally a
social, intellectual, and moral force
in the community. The physician
and tlie clergyman have immense
opportunities for this uplifting of
humanity, yet their advantages are
small when compared with those of
the teacher, which are practically
unlimited. Encouragement and sat
isfaction in this field of labor never
can be dependent upon results, for
it is seldom that the teacher is per
mitted to know what the years of
maturity owe to faithful care of the
youthful days. The teacher's time
is always one of seed-sowing, never
of harvest."
The Government and the Home
Mrs. Rebecca B. Chambers, the
president of the Pennsylvania wo
man's Christian Temperance union,
advocates the ballot as a necessity for
successful homes. She recently said:
"Tlie home is the safe guard of the
government. The government should
guard safely Its homes. Woman can
not be a home maker and a home
keejier, unless she is a part of the
government, with the influence of the
ballot, to protect and advance the
interests of home life and child life."
A Churchman on Woman Suffrage
The Rev. Floyd W. Tompkins of
the Church of The Holy Trinity,
Philadelphia, when asked for an
opinion on woman suffrage expressed,
himself in reply: "I believe that
women should vote on all moral
issues, and that they should also vote
where they are individually taxed,
lam not prepared to say that I believe
in universal woman suffrage, and yet
I am very much inclined toward it."

Tragedy Averted
' Just in the nick of time our littlrt
boy was saved," writes Mrs. W.
Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio.
"Pneumonia had played sad havoc
with him and a terrible cough, sot
in besides. Doctors treated him,
but he grew worse every day. At
length we tried Dr. King's New
Discovery fur Consumption, and
.our darling was saved, Hj's now
