Washington Political Gossip. Factional Rows in Republican Party-The Senate Grasping For More Power. Washington, Jan. 20.-The most adroit leadership in both the Senate and the Honse has alone prevented the development of serious factional dis? turbances in republican ranks during the week just passed and it is only a quetsion of time when they will break ?ut in a violent form on the floors of ?hose bodies. It is difficult for one not actually on the scene to appreciate to what an extent the House of Repre? sentatives has ceased to be a delibera? tive body. For a time the republican members felt themselves repaid for their loss of power by the example of perfect discipline which they set to the country but, now that they are in so great a majority as to believe them? selves relieved from the danger of democratic aggressions, they are long? ing for the birthright which they bar? tered. Smarting with a sense of their loss . of influence the representatives are humiliated by the arrogance of certain Senators who" today openly say that the attitude of Hie House towards any of the important questions which Con? gress must answer is of no importance " as the Senate can and -will rectify the errors of the "impulsive and irrespon? sible" lower body. Senator Cullum is today preparing a speech in support of his contention that the House has no right to be heard in the matter of reciprocal treaties which are, the Sen? ator alleges, a matter for the Senate and the President alone to consider. . In view of the very important subject of reciprocity with Cuba which must soon be determined the position of the -senior Senator from Illinois and a large number of his colleagues is par? ticularly exasperating. There is no mistaking the intent of the Dingley bill which says that such treaties must be approved ? ' by Con? gress," but Senators Cullom, Lodge, Spooner. Frye, Hanna and others hold to the opinion that, according to the constitution, the President and the Senate "alone constitute the treaty making power. " Senator Lodge mod? ifies his opinion somewhat, however, by saying that he believed that it would be courtesy to consult the House because any reciprocal treaty affects the question of raising revenue. The Philippine tariff bill will be re? ported to the Senate today or tomor? row and it is predicted that the debate. on its provisions will last for a month. Senator Lodge professes to believe that it will be eventually passed as report? ed but there are members of his own party who greatly differ from him and who say that it will have to be refer? red back to the committee. Promi? nent among these is Senator Mitchell of Oregon. After the bill gets through the Senate it will have to pass-the House and if the Senate persists in its determination to exclude that body from a voice in the Cuban reciprocity affair there is every possibility that Mr. Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and his colleagues will treat the^ measure with little con? sideration, as they believe that Sena? tor Lodge, in his capacity of cham? pion of the administration, will be thus brought to terms and will be forced to oppose the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in order to re? lieve Secretary Root from his present embarrassing position. The Isthmian Canal, while by no means a partizan question, is capable of causing trouble that may develop along nartizan lines. Senator Morgan, who is as firmly committed to the Nicaraguan route as ever, called at the White House recently and came away seriously dissatisfied with the result of his interview with the President. He is also much disturbed at Senator Hanna's apparent disaffection in favor of the D irien route. This route would require the construction of a tunnel five miles iong, through a solid gran? ite mountain and the Senator from Alabama considers it lacking in feas? ibility and its agitation merely an at? tempt to delay canal legislation. The Senate Committee on Com jnerce has authorized a favorable re? port on the Hanna-Frye ship subsidy bill by a strict party vote, every democrat on the committee voting against it. Senator Frye makes the most extravagant claims for the bill and in the main his colleagues are ob? liged to take his word in the matter as there is probably no other man in the Senate who can tell just how the bili will work when put in practice. It now seems probable that the bill will pass the Senate under pressure of the .party lash, but it is very doubtful if it can get through the House. Every democrat in the House will vote against it and there are said to be a number of republicans who regard a vote for the bill as political suicide. "The anarchy bills are going to make trouble in the House," said a democratic member from New York, ?when I asked him why Congress was doing nothing in a matter on which ali the members seemed to be much of one mind. " There is little difference in the minds of the members as to the ?iecesisty of passing a bill to prevent anarchists coming into the country but there is great jealousy in the commit? tees in regard to the mater. General Shattuc, chairamn of the Committee on Immigration, does not consider that the Judiciary Committee has the right to pass on any measure which deals with immigration. The mern- j bers of the Judiciary committee them-1 selves are jealous of Cairman Ray be? cause they think hedesries to arrogate te himself too large a share of the glory that will pertain to the author -ship of the bill that finally passes. As to the democrats, thev are not involv? ed except in so far as they may be call? ed upon to protest against any meas? ure which violates state rights." The Committee on Resolutions of the democatic House caucus held a meeting on Friday afternoon and, .while no definite policy was determin? ed upon the members arrived at a very close estimate of the policy which it would recommend at the next meeting of the caucus. It was deemed inad? visable to commit the party at this early date to a definite policy on the majority of the questions with which Congess will have to deal. There is nc necessity for so doing and by mere? ly preserving a solid front and oppos? ing all that is pernicious in the legis? lation the majority attempts to enact Mr. Richarsdon and his colleagues be? lieve they will be in a better position to announce their policy to the coun? try later on. Commission Recommends Panama. OBSTACLES TO THE SALE HAVE ALL BEEN REMOVED - THE MATTER IS NOW BROUGHT TO AN ISSUE. Washington, Jan. 18.-The supple? mental report of the isthmian canal commission on the proposition of the Panama Canal company, to dispose of its property to the United States for $?0,OOO,OOO*was delivered to President Roosevelt this evening. The members of the commission refuse to discuss the nature of the report and like re? ticence was maintained at the White House, but it was stated on excellent authority that the report unanimously recommended that the offer of the Panama company be accepted. The report, it is stated, is very voluminous, going into ail phases of the question and attempting to meet the objections that any legal complications will arise out of the purchase or that there will be any international difficulties should the deal be consummated. The report was compleed about 6 o'clock this evening and after being signed by the members of the commission was carried by Admiral Walker, chairman of the commission, to Secretary Hay, who transmitted it to the president. The latter will send the report to congress the first of the week, proba? bly Monday. The report goes fully into the steps which must be taken in order to in? sure a perfect title to the United States for, in addition to the present Panama Canal company the old organ? ization and the Colombian govern? ment must be reckoned with. The re- ' port finds, however, it is said, that the new company can give a clear title, lt is stated that the report says that when the commission made its recent report favoring the Nicara? guan route no offer to sell to this gov? ernment had been made by the Pana? ma company. The offer of .$40, OOO, OOO, made in behalf of the company, it is said, changed the situation complete? ly. It is also stated that the report shows that a little over 1,000 shares of Panama railroad stock is owned by individuals outside the Panama Canal company and that these can be pur? chased for a comparatively small sum. Other obstacles to the sale, the report says, also have been removed. When Schley Wi!! Speak Out. Chicago, January 17.-Rear Admiral Winfield Schley has reserved his first public utterance since the recent fa? mous Sampson-Schley controversy and Court of Inquiry for a Chicago audi? ence. When the~ hero of Santiago stands be::ore the banquet board as the guest of honor of the Hamilton Club at the Auditorium, a week from tomorrow night, it is expected he will say some? thing of national interest. Official announcement to this* effect was made tonight by President F. A. Munger, of the club. Just what the tenor of the Admiral's remarks will be is not defi? nitely known, but it is said that the Admiral has wished to be placed in a position where he could make a pub? lic statement, even brief in character, but in circumstances removing him from chance of official or other cen? sure. Telephones For Railroad Service. Chicago, Jan. 19.-The Illinois Cen? tral railroad with a short time will have all the principal stations along its line equipped with telephones for the use of officials and empolves in transmitting the orders and messages of the company. Those who have experimented with the system claim for it many advan? tages over the old telegraph system. ? They assert that by means of the tele- j phonic system the service will be prac- i tically revolutionized : that with slight improvements, which are inevitable, the telephone will famish greater ! safety for train orders, that the cost j of train operation will be decreased j and the results obtained made vastly better, and that no less important is I the constant personal contract between officials and employes, which the promoters say is certain to result in a i higher class of service. The installa? tion of the system will cost about $100 per mile or approximately $540,000 to equip the entire road, including its main branches and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley road. Elevator Boy as a Hero. Chicago, January 18.-The Lastrain Hotel, a seven-story apartment hotel at 3,535 Ellis avenue, was practically destroyed by fire today. Sixty women and children were in the building when the flames were discovered. About half of them were on the top floor at luncheon and they were thrown into a panic. Otto Bela, the elevator boy, however, succeeded in making several trips through the smoke and flames and carried all of them to safety. The last person out of the building was a paralytic, whom the elevator boy carried to his car and later to the street. The loss is put at $100.000. The fire originated in ashed in the rear of the building. One fire? man was slightly injured by falling glass. ? rm ? i i mi Monticello Smith Arrested. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 18.--Post office inspector in charge, Williams, has been notified by Inspector Peer, that Joel E. Smith, editor of a weekly publication at Monticello, Fla., has been taken into custody charged with using the mails for fraudulent par posse. Smith it is charged, has been advertising " for ladies to do writing at home," and offering them $20 a month for their services. He has been held in a bond of $1,000. Greenville', Jan. 17.-State consta? bles and revenue officers today destroy? ed a large illicit distillery with ac? companying implements in the Dark Corner section of this county. A young white man. Waverly Barton, wsa at the still and was arrested after being pursued for half a mile by the officers. Constables also raided a sec? tion of the county konwn as "'Possum Kingdom," where they were fired upon by a party of moonshienrs. The officers returned the fire, injuring Jasper Lollis, white, who was brought to the city and placed in jail. The other members of the moonshine party Particulars of Earthquake in Mexico. Death List Small, But Great Destruction of Property. Mexico City, Jan. 18.-Chilpanein go, the capital of the State of Guer? rero, has had for two days indescrib? able panic and consternation, for yes? terday there came a repetition of the earthquake shocks of Thursday, razing to the ground many houses spared in the first earthquake. The people are camping on-; on the Alameda and in the fields. Hundreds of families are ruined. The buildings destroyed in? clude the Seventeenth battalion's bar? racks, from which the soldiers were ordered, thus saving their lives. The school buildings are wrecked, but luckily the children were all saved, their teachers having rare presence of mind and giving the order for them to march to the street when the first trembling of the earth began Thurs? day. The parish church, which was being repaired, having been injured in a recent earthquake is destroyed. When the shock began it was nearly filled with worshippers who fled in dismay, women being knocked down by men, but fortunately all had gain? ed the street when the heavy stone arches fell in, it is believed that every? one escaped though the soldiers are removing the debris, which is piled up in great heaps. Gov. Moran and his secretary escaped from the State palace in time to save themselves and procedeed to aid the wounded and panic stricken populace. The list of the wounded is a long one, including many prominent citi? zens. No official list of dead and wounded has been given out as yet. The Southern in Geography-lt Covers the Whole South. "The great rivers don't carry pas-1 sengers any more," said Chauncey Depew, ' ' the great railroads have taken their places." Mr. Depew is right. Grass grows on the wharves at Omaha and Kansas City, and only freight boats are now occasionally seen at Cincinnati and j ! Louisville. The Harpers have gotten out a new georgaphy from which the children describe the great railroads, and what a knowledge of the whole country it gives the youngsters. j The school children used to describe the rivers, but now they describe the great railroads. f To illustrate how they describe them, the teacher in the Washington public school said : "Now, Mary, can you describe the Southern Railway? You know ", is 9,000 miles long." "Yes, sir, that is very easy," L ' Mary. "The Southern really com menees in New York, it runs its cars over the Pennsylvania railroad through Philadelphia and Baltimore to Wash inatogn. Then it leaves the Capitol and runs right by Washington Monu? ment and jthe White House, Manassas and Bull Run battlefields to Lynch? burg near Appomattox, where General Lee surrendered to General Grant, then New Orleans and Florida. "Where else does it go to, Mary?'-' "Why, it runs ali over creation. It spreads out like a great fan all over the South to New Orleans, Florida, St. Louis and Atlanta. "Give me some of the cities the! Southern goes through, Mary." "Why, from Virginia it goes through j North Carolina with its 196 cotton fae- j tories, and through the cotton and to baeco fields to Greensboro, Charlotte, Summerville and Charleston, where ! the great Exhibition is, and then to Savannah, with its grand old Buena Ventura. From Savannah it runs to Brunswick. Ga., within sight of Jekel Island, and then to St. Augustine, with its palmetto and palm trees, and then dawn into the orange groves of Florida, where, after shooting a few alligators, you can ferry across to Havana and see Morro Castle and the 1 sunken Maine. Here you can pick j bananas while you watch the pretty i Spanish girls as they play their gui? tars asd flirt with love-sick cavaliers through the iron gates. "Where else does it run, Mary?" "Why, to Memphis and the West. Then it croes to Birmingham and Chattanooga, with its Lookout Moun? tain, where Hooker fought among the clouds. From Chattaooga, " contin? ued Mary, pointing on to the map "you see the 'Southern' runs South, east to Atlanta and North to Cincin? nati, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Pittsburg." But the 'Southern don't have its own track North of Cincinati, does it Mary?" "No, but they send out their won? derful "Florida Special' from Chicago, over the'Big 4,' C. H. & D.,' and Monon, ' and they run through cars to Florida, from Cleveland and Pittsburg to Jacksonville. " "But that'Southern's Palm Limit? ed' that flies from New York to St. Augustine, Augusta, Bon Air and Aiken," said Mary enthusiastically, "and the Southern's flier that flies to the 'land of the sky' like a cannon? ball from New York to Asheville, Nashville, Atlanta, Mobile and New Orleans, where you can see the lan? guishing Creole girls with their goo goo eyes and-" "But vour geography don't sav that, Mary!" "No, but my brother George said that when he got back from the Mardi Gras. George said, he got his ticket at the Southern Ry. Office, 1185 Broadway, and left New York in a snow bank at twenty-five minutes past four o'colck in the atfernoon, and was in warm Atlanta in 24 hours, and in New Orlenas in 39 hours." Mary might have added that Samuel Spencer, the President of the "South? ern" has taken in the "Queen and Crescent, " which runs from Cincin? nati and Louisville to Nen- Orleans and Shreveport, La., and he is Presi? dent of both roads about 9,000 miles long. Eli Perkin's Railroad Letter. Washington, Jan. ls. The house of representatives was in session less than an hour today. Only routine business was transacted, the most im? portant of which was the reporting by Mr. Cannon, chairman of the com? mittee on appropriations, of an urgency deficiency bill. The bill will be called up for consideration Monday. The senate amendments to the house bill appropriating 890,000 for a government exhibit and floor space at the Charles? ton exposition were agreed to and the bill passed. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Senate and House Both Hard at Work-Progress is Being Made. Colubmia, Jan. 20.- The senate spent two hours and a half at work last night and transacted a good deal of important business. Senator Graydon's jury bill was given its second reading after some debate, and Mr. Sheppard's bill to have only one set of commissioners and managers for State and federal elections was given its second reading also. The bill for the Soldiers' Home was introduced. Senator Douglass, who is opposed to the soldiers' home, in? troduced a bill making it unlawful to receive Confederate veterans into county poor houses but requiring the county commissioners to give aid to indigent ex-Confederates at their homes. THE HOUSE. There was no great proportion of the members of the house present when that body began the second week's work yesterday morning. Yet a very good day's work was done. The feature was the discussion of the Schley resolution offered by Mr. W. J. Johnson of Fairfield. The discus? sion was a study in heroics, so to speak. The resolutions, after a num? ber, of lectures, was sent to a commit? tee, no final action being taken. The first matter to claim the atten? tion of the house was the bill of Mr. Bivens relative to the sale of cotton in Dorchester county, but final action was postponed. Mr. Patterson's bill to provide for the settlement of claims against counties prior to the creation of new counties was the next matter taken up. Mr. Patterson explained the bill, which was where an action was brought against an old county and a judgment to force the new county to be liable for that judgment. Under the present law there seems to be no provision for new counties to inherit judgments or litigation. There was no objection to the bill and it was ordered to its third reading. Mr. Lomax's bill to provide free i text books for poor children was then taken up, and Mr. Pucker defended the measure, fie thought the bill a well conceived measure. It was pro? vided that not over five per cent, should be invested in any one year for school books, and the books are to remain the property of the school trustees. I Mr. Ashley thought the bill was right and it ought to pass. Mr. Lomax said he was familiar with the school situation of today and he held that the bill was on the right , ^ne. His whole purpose was to help ; the public schools. Last year he pro? posed to the trustees of his school that they would buy books and loan them to the children and the result was that every school child in the district at? tended the schools. Mr. Webb said he was a friend of the poor children. His sympathies went out to the poor children. The bill forces the children to take an oath that they were unable to buy books. Mr. Ashley and Mr. Lomax insisted that no oath was required. The best thing was to improve the schools and get them on a cash basis. Books are now verv cheap. Mr. F. H. McMaster favored the bill with a strong speech. The bill was then ordered to its third reading as follows : Section L. That whenever it shall be made to appear to the trustees of any school district that any patron of such school is unable by reason of poverty to purchase the necessary books for the use of his or her child or children, then in such case the trustees of such school district may in their discretion purchase such necessary books for such pupils. Provided, the sum so ex? pended for the purchase of said books shali not exceed the sum of ? per cent of the school fund of said district in any one year: And provided further, That the books so purchased shall be the property of such public school dis? trict. Democratic Philippine Policy. Washington, Jan. IS.-The Demo? cratic members of the senate commit? tee on the Philippines were in consulta? tion for several hours today over their proposed substitute proposition for the Philippine tariff bill. They are agreed on all the essential features of their position. In general they say they will recommend that in the end, provision should be made giving the Filipinos their independence, but in the meantime providing for free trade between the United States and the Philippine archipelago such as is maintained between the United States and other territories. The fish bill, as it passed the House on Thurdsay, prohibits the use of seines, nets and traps in the close sea? son only in the "navigable streams" of the State. It should be noted, per? haps, that fish do not confine their movements to navigable streams and do not spawn usually in navigable wa? ter; and that seines, nets and traps are employed most effectively and most destructively in streams th at? are not navigable and on the spawn? ing grounds. The sturgeon has been nearly exterminated by trapping, and netting the fish in the shallow runs and ponds in the swamps.-News and Courier. Washington, Jan. IS.-President Roosevelt has decided to decline all invitations to deliver public speeches until congress has completed its work for the session. Exceptions will only be made in cases like the Charleston exposition where circumstances seem to require his presence in his official (rapacity. Parkersburg, W. Va.. Jan. 19. Two freight trains met in a head-end colli? sion on the Baltimore and Ohio Kail road six miles from here today, kill? ing the engnieer and fireman of one train ami injuring (lie brakeman on each train. Ten cars were piled up and both engines were almost demol? ished. Constantinople, Jan. 19. Reliable news has been received here that .Miss Ellen M. Stone, the captive American missionary, Madame Tsilka, her com? panion, and tfie latter's baby, are well. Negotiations which it is expected will result in the early and safe return of the capitves are in progress. WASTING THE NATION'S MONEY. Deficiency Bili Appropriates $500,000 For Military Post at Manila-Will Cost $40, 000 More. "Washington, Jan. 20.-The time of the honse of representatives was occu? pied today in general debate upon an urgent deficiency appropriation bill. An item in the bill carrying $500,000 for a military post at Manila precipi? tated a long discussion wrhich took wide range, drawing into the debate some of the ablest debaters on both sides of the house. A semi-humorous speech by Mr. Clark of Missouri elic? ited a reply from Mr. Cannon of Illi? nois, which in turn drew the fire of Mr. DeArmond of Missouri. Others who participated were Mr. Richard? son, Tenn : Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio ; Mr. Alexander of New York; Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania ; Mr. Williams of Illinois and Mr. Underwood of Alabama. Mr. Cannon in charge of the de? ficiency bill explained that it provided for the government service for the current fiscal year where existing ap? propriations were not sufficient. The bill carried $16,704,230. Mr. Richardson, the Democratic leader, pressed Mr. Cannon to know under what law it was proposed to appropriate $500,000 for a military post at Manila. The chairman of the appropriations committee replied that there was no specific law to establish such a mili? tary post, but whether under the gen? eral organization of the army in the field such an appropriation was in or? der it would remain for the chairman of the committee of the whole to determine when the appropriation was reached. ' ' How much of the $1,376,831 which it is proposed to appropriate under the wai department is to go to the Philip? pines?" Mr. Richardson asked. Only this $500,000 is to go to the Philippines direct, " replied Mr. Can? non, who proceeded to argue that the treaty with Spain imposed upon tne United States certain duties relative to the Philippines which might make such an appropriation in order. He thought it as wise to have an army post at Manila as to have one at Chicago or any other place in this country. When pressed for an explanation as to the reason for the proposed appro? priation of $40,000 for the emergency fund of the State department, Mr. Cannon admitted that it was for the entertainment of Prince Henry of Ger? many. "From every standpoint," said Mr. Cannon, "I believe it is appropriate and proper that there should be suit? able entertainment of the representa? tive of a great people beyond the sea who have given us so much of our bone and brawn and brain." (Gene? ral applause. ) Mr. Livingston of Georgia, the ranking minority member of the ap? propriation committee, did not think the pending bill should be criticised. What the House Did Saturday. Columbia, January 18.-The House was the only branch of the General Assembly in session today. It dispos? ed of every bill on the Calendar in some way but the vast majoriy of the matters were simply passed over at the request of the authors in their ab? sence. The greater part of the session was devoted to a proposed bill relative to the game laws of the State but after a long talk, the bill was recommitted. ? Several bills of minor importance were passed, but the bills involving much discussion were not acted upon. Quite a number of special orders were designated. The child labor bills, the redistricting propositions and all of the larger issues hare been made special orders for next week. * Progressive Japan. The advance of Japan during r;he last ten years has excited the wonder and admiration of the world. But Japan is not resting on her laurels. She appears to be more ambitious and active than ever. Her strength is cer? tainly increasing steadily. The Japanese army is classed by military critics as one of the best in the world. It did superb fighting both in the war with China and in the suppression of the Boxer insurrec? tion. The Japanese soldier has won world? wide fame by his superb drill, his steadiness and vigor in action and dauntless personal courage. The navy of Japan is not so noted as her army, but is being strengthened rapidly. The new Japanese battleship Mikasa is the largest naval vessel in the world. This mighty machine has recently been completed by a famous firm of British shipbuilders and will soon proceed to Japan. It is 432 feet long, 76 feet beam, draws 27 feet, has 15,150 tons displacement and 15, 000 indicated horse power. It will have a speed of 18 knots and a coal capacity so enormous that it can go at the rate of 10 knots 9,000 miles without recoaiing. The armament is very formidable, consisting of four 12-inch breech-load ing guns and the following quick-fire guns: Fourteenth 6-inch guns, twenty 12-pounders, ^ eight 3-pounders and four 2 l-2-po?nders. In addition to these powerful weap? ons the Mikasa has four submerged torpedo tubes, which are rated highly by naval experts. It is the dearest hope of Japan to fit herself tu cope both on land and sea with Russia, her worst foe. it would require very little provoca? tion to drive Uer to attack Russia now, and she would put up a mighty good fight.-Atlanta Journal. Omaha, Jan. IS.-Two robbers held up a dozen in a gambling room over the saloon of Cliff Cole, at Fourteenth and Douglass streets early today and secured the cash box and ?2(H)in money from the customers of the place. They wen? captured 10 minutes later, how? ever, by a squad of policemen and locked up. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

The Origin of Mr. and Mrs. In earlier times the ordinary man was simply "William or John-that is to say, he had only a Christian name without any kind of "handle" before it or surname after it, says the Philadelphia Record. Some means of distinguishing one John or William from another John or Willim became necessary. Nicknames derived from a man's trade or his dwelling place or from some personal peculiarity were tacked on to his Christian name, and plain John be? came John Smith. As yet there were no "misters" in the land. Some John Smith accumulated more wealth than the bulk of his fel? lows-became perhaps a landed propri? etor or an employer of hired labor. Then he began to be called in the Norman French of the day the "mais ter" of this place or that, of these workmen, or of those. In time the "maistre," or "mais ter, " as it soon became, got tacked on before his name, and he became Maister Smith and his wife was Mais tress Smith. Gradually the sense of possession was lost sight of, and the title was cnoferred upon any kind-by mere possession of wealth or holding some position of more or less import? ance. SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
