Adjourns in Honor to Allison.
The two Houses will appoint commit
tees each to notify the other House, and
the President, that Congress Is organized
for business. The Senate wiJl then ad
Jonrn for the day out of respect to the
memory of the late Senator Allison. The
House will also terminate Its brief ses
sion with resolutions commemorative of
the lives of Messrs. Parker of South
Dakota. Wiley of Alabama. Dunwell of
New York and Powers of Maine.
Tuesday will be given up to the readinff
of the President's message. As this is
President Roosevelt's last annual mes
sage, there is unusual Interest In It. The
general opinion is that It will prove to be
a conservative and carefully prepared
document, and that few recommendations
for legislation will be dwelt upon.
The House likely will begin business
Wednesday by considering the bill providing-
means for taking; the National
census. It Is the expectation of Mr.
Tawney, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, that his committee will
be prepared to report the bill making
an appropriation for the legislative, ex
ecutive and Judicial branches of the
Government before the end of the week,
and its consideration will be begun at
the first practical moment.
Foraker's Negro Bill Heady.
The Senate has agreed to take "P
the bill for the establishment of postal
. savings banks, and Senator Foraker's
'. bill authorizing the re-enlistment of
the negro soldiers who were dis
' charged on account of the Brownsville
riot of 1906.
Party leaders expect that very little
-legislation other than the appropria
tion bills will be attempted. These ag-
gregate $ 100.000.000. There will be a
general effort to hold the appropria
tions down to the lowest possible limit,
but they will likely exceed even this
'figure. A bill for the improvement of
! livers and harbors will carry not less
(than $25,000,000 or $30,000,000. The cen
us of 1910 will require an extra outlay
: of not less than $10,000,000.
The fact that the managers desire to
restrict legislation will not prevent
, other members of the Senate and
House from exerting their efforts in
' favor of favorite measures. Senator
; Foraker's announced determination to
' work for the re-enllstment of negro
'soldiers is Included In tills list.
The recent agreement between the
United States and JapHn will be con
sidered by the Senate early. Already a
number of Senators have privately ex
1 pressed disapproval of the fact that the
.compact was made without consulting
the Senate.
Both houses will receive recommenda
tions from the Congressional Monetary
Commission looking to changes In the
laws regulating the supervision of Na
' tional bunks, and legislation for that
purpose Is likely to be enacted. Agita
' tlon Is being made for such changes in
, the Sherman anti-trust law as will pro
vide immunity for combinations such as
labor unions which have been held in
restraint of trade, and which It Is con
tended are not Injurious.
Statehood Advocates Active.
The advocates of separate statehood
. for Arizona and New Mexico will press
! the claims of those territories and -Je-'
clare they will have the support of the
President. There will, however, be an
effort to pass these measures over to the
61st Congress.
The President will recommend legisla
1 tifin looking to the supervision of tele
j graph and telephone Hues and there
. will be bills offered bringing them within
l the Jurisidiction of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission.
Ship subsidy also will receive atten
tion. '
The revenue deficit Is giving the' lead
:. ers much concern anil many would te.
deliphted If some relief method could oe
devised, but this subject is so Interwoven
'. with the tariff that It seems probable its
. consideration will be deferred until the
extra session.
In the House, the question of the
change of rules will be much discussed by
: Individual members, but its considera
' tlon will go over until after the organ
ization of the next House.
It Is understood that early in January
the President will send In a special mrs
. sage recommending the protection and
conservation of the country's natural
resources and doubtless there will be
. tome effort made to respond to his sug
gestion. There also will be a renewal of
the effort to create forest reserves in
the Appalachians and the White Moun
tains. SPECIAL BILLSWILL FAIL
(Continued From lrst Page.)
State Treasurer at Portland Is likely
to meet the same fate as the Portland
assay office bill. These measures call
for Dew appropriations, and for that
reason stand little chance of passing.
The shortage of Government cash is
likely to handicap Representative Haw
ley In his endeavor to secure an in
crease of pension for the Indian war
veterans. These old warriors are now
' getting only $8 a month. Mr. Hawley
' ias two bills pending, one increasing
tlreir pension to $12 a month, and an
other placing them under the service
pension act, which would entitle them
to $12, $15 or $20 a month, according
to age.
- Washington Has Want.
The Washington delegation has more
or less local legislation still on the cal
endars of Senate and House, aside from
what has already been mentioned. Sen
ator Piles wants two additional Judges
for the Ninth Judicial Circuit; Repre
sentative Humphrey wants an addi
tional judicial district created in
Washington. There is not Very bright
prospect that either bill will pass, un
less the House committee on Judiciary
becomes unusually liberal, and there is
nothing to indicate such a change of
heart.
The only Important bills in which
Senator Ankeny Is Interested, outside
of general bills already enumerated,
are those increasing the pensions of
Indian War veterans. Last session he
pot one through the Senate Increasing
the pension from $S to $10 per month,
but he would like more, and will co
operate with the Oregon men in an
effort to get It
Most of the time of Representative
Jones will be taken up with river and
harbor matters; he will not have much
chance for other work before he goes
to the Senate. Nevertheless, he has a

David Starr Jordaa.
NEW YORfc. Dec. 6. (Spe
cial.) President David Starr
Jordan, of Stanford University,
was here recently in confer
ence with fish men from Maine
and the Fisheries Commissioner
of Canada on behalf of the Gov
ernment. His conference with
the Canadian Commissioner was
over the question of a new
treaty regulating fishing In In
ternational waters. Mr. Jordan
also attended a meeting of the
Carnegie Foundation, of which
he is vice-chairman, and con
ferred with fellow-members of
the Association of Agricultural
Colleges committee regarding a
report to be made to the Agricul
tural Department at Washing

which he is still interested: the bill
authorizing the Benton Water Com
pany to build a dam in Snake River,
and If he can get assurance that the
President will sign this bill, he may
get It out of conference committee.
where it now lies.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, wants to
secure a modification of the National
reclamation act which will make that
law more of a benefit to poor men. The
Government has completed one big
project In Idaho, and will soon com
plete another. Settlers under these
projects, though entirely honest, are
experiencing difficulty In making pay
ments as required by the existing law.
Senator Borah will seek to secure some
modification which will relieve honest
settlers who are embarrassed by the
strict requirements of the law as it
now stands.
Once again Congress will hear abuse
of the Forest Service and the forestry
policy by Senator Heyburn. The senior
Idaho Senator has been loading up for
another assault upon the administra
tion, and will have his hearing when
the agricultural appropriation bill is
under consideration.
If opportunity presents. Senator Hey
burn will press his bill, doing away
with local land offices, and substitut
ing public land courts for the hearing
of all land contests. This Is such a
radical departure from present prac
tice that it cannot be adopted In. a
short session.
As this will be the last session for
Representative French of Idaho, he
will undertake to clear up his bills now
pending, the most Important being a
dry-farm bill, otherwise known as the
3-'0-acre homestead bill.
DENIAL OF CALUMNY MADE
Railway Employes Object to Reflec
tion on Character.
DENVER, Dec. 6. C. A. Hallowell, F.
D. Elliott. W. S. Ammon and W. S. Mc
Farland, a special committee of Denver
Division No. 44, Order of Railway Conduc
tors of America, have drafted an answer
to the statement reported to have been
made by Dr. R. W. Corwin. division sur
geon of the Missouri Pacific Railway at
Pueblo. Colo., in an address before the
New York and New England Association
of Railway Surgeons in New York City,
November 17. to the effect that railway
wrecks usually "are brought about by
employes who drink, gamble and Indulge
in other forme of dissipation, and not be
cause they are overworked."
The committee characterizes the doc
tor's remarks as "calumny," and declares
that, "while this gratuitous and unwar
ranted attack wa not confined to any
particular branch of the service, and
while perhaps it Is Riving it too much no
tice, It is so generally unfair that it has
caused some little discussion and feeling
and possibly warrants a public denial."
SPREAD ANARCHY ABROAD
Russian Fugitives in Denmark Cause
Alarm and Many Are Arrested.
COPENHAGEN. Dec. 5. (Special.)
The presence of Russian Anarchists In
Denmark is causing increased excite
ment, and it is generally demanded that
Russian emigration to this country
shall be prohibited. During the last
year about' 1000 Russians, particularly
people who have been forced to leave
the country, arrived here. The major
ity are criminals and beggars.
The police, assisted by several regi
ments of troops, today arrested a num
ber of suspicious Russians, but they
were not proved to be members of the
Anarchist band which carried out the
burglary and assassination at the es
tate of Hoejbjerggaard. It is pre
sumed that this gang has escaped to
Sweden. The Swedish police have also
arrested several Russians.

BANK DEPOSITS TOO LARGE

Millions of Capital and Sixty
seven Millions of Deposits.
OTTAWA. Ont.. Dec. 6. (Special.) A
very remarkable condition of affairs is
disclosed bv the Canadian government's
fcank statement for October, just Issued.
It is shown that the people of this coun
try are savins money at a very much
faster rate than the banks and business
men of the Dominion can dispose of In
profitable investments.
The result of this condition of things
is that deposits in Canada increased dur
ing October to the extent of $..362,8,9,
while the business of the country ab
sorbed by way of current and call loans
only $3,322,014 more than during the pre
vious month.
When It Is remembered that the crop
movement began very early this year,
and that farmers were paid for thi-ir
wheat and other products promptly, it
will be understood that several million
dollars of the Increase for the month In
deposits may be due to the plentlfulness
of money In the rural districts of the
Dominion.
Whatever the cause, however, bankers
of Canada are confronted with the fact
that they have to earn interest on $96.

Campbell was the wife of W. D. Camp

20 years. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were
married here about a year and a half

a homestead. Mrs. Campbell was born
in Ohio, and was 35 years old. The re

a very bad way. He Is very weak and
barely able to move from his bed into
the wheel chair In which he has been
taken to his baths. Some days he is ex
tremely moody and on other occasions
bright. It is said of the Governor that
he told his masseur the other day:
"I'll Not Iilve," His Words.
"I'll not live much longer and you will
not have to bother with me many days."
Dr. Dresser was In consultation last
Thursday with Dr. G. F. Reinhardt, of
Berkeley, who stopped - between trains,
and Dresser is reported to have made the
following statement in a low tone:
"With two maladies (referring to the
dropsy as well as the Brlght's disease)
I can't see how a man can recover. His
caso seems almost hopeless."
Mr. Robb, of whom mention has been
made, saw Cosgrove Friday night for a
short time.
"He Insisted on seeing me and wanted
to talk politics, but I talked about old
times," said Robb.
"Will he be able to Co to Washing
ton In January?"
"Maybe, but if he doesn't go soon he
might not live until that time."
That sums up the condition of the
patient, so far as it can be gathered,
and certainly his friends have no cause
to feel especially hopeful.

though It was given out that he was

His diet has been a simple one. In the
past he has been given cornmeal mush

Deal With Mead Denied.
The guests of the hotel occasionally

the corridors of the hotel into the bath
house. But no one gets a chance to talk
to him. for his wife guards him on one
side and an attendant on the other.
It has been reported that there was
some sort of deal on foot by which an
agreement for a certain amount of pat
ronage Mr. Cosgrove had promised Mead
that he would not return to the North.
Mrs. Cosgrove absolutely denies this.
She said:
"Mv husband has talked no politics,

Absent-Minded Frenchman tarries
Friend s Timepiece to His Home.
PARIS, Dec. 5. (Special. )-Of all the
modern French politicians of note, none
is more absent-minded than M. Pelletan.
and none is a harder worker. M. Pel
letan, who was for many years on the
staff of a morning paper, has never got
out of the habit of working late at
night, and his wife, knowing this, never
allows him to go away without packing
a little foot-warmer in his bag so that
M. Pelletan shall not catch cold when
he is working late.
At the recent Congress at Dijon M.
Pelletan was the guest of a prominent
citizen of Mustardville. He arrived late
and unpacked the contents of his bag
and put them on the mantelpiece, hav
ing only just time to change his coat
and rush off to the Congress. On his
return M. Pelletan had some three
hours' writing to do. He took his foot
warmer from the mantelpiece, wrote his
article, and before going to bed packed
it and his other belongings into his bag,
so as not to have to do so when he
woke.
Next day, after M. Pelletan s depart
ure, his host missed a little clock which
he particularly prized, and found, to his
astonishment, a. foot-warmer which did
