WORK OF CONGRESS
BB00GHTT0 CLOSE
Much Was Accomplished Dur
ing Session Over Billion
Appropriated.
WASHINGTON After a final day
of double pressure, congress adjourn
ed Saturday night until December
with a remarkable record of work and
all factions claiming the greater part
of the credit
The president's annual message cov
ered the whole legislative, field. The
program which he especially urged
contained about 18 measures, of which
six were adopted. The regulars claim
credit for everything done that was-
TT1PT1 HuTI tlri In Vila mnonn n-- rTtU . t I
. - u luva.ago, x UV JU
surgents and democrats see the re
suits far differently. The railroad bill.
the main issue of the session, a
adopted, bore practically no semb
lance to the original Taft-Wickersham
bill, the insurgents claiming that the
president had nothing left of it but
the commerce court-
The great bulk of the work was
done in the last month, and a very im
portant part during the last week. In
the early half of the session the house
was not industrious and the senate
did practically nothing at all.
A Billion Dollars Appropriated.
More than a billion dollars was ap
propriated, If continuing aDDroDria
tions are incorporated in the totals of
the general appropriation measures.!!
Insofar as the figures could be obtain
ed from measures which underwent
changes in the last hours of the ses
sion, the total of the appropriations,
exclusive of continuing appropriations,
was $894,086,943. ,5; .
The amount of the continuing. '.ap
propriations for the last fiscal year
was about $160,000,000. It is safe to
say that it will not be less for the next
fiscal year, and the grand total there
fore will aggregate at least $1,054,
000,000. .
Not the least conspicuous acts of
congress were the strenuous mea
sures taken by the house of represen
tatives to reform its 'system of eon
ducting business, so that less power
might be reposed in the speaker and
the organization of which he was the
natural leader.
Railway Bill Takes Time. .
More time was consumed In consid
ering the railroad bill than was taken
by all other subjects of legislation.
This measure not only creates a com
merce court, but embodies power for a
committee to Inquire in stock and
bond issues of railroads, extends the
provision of the interstate commerce
act to te'egraph and telephone com
panies and gives the interstate icom
merce commission power to suspend
increases in rates until the commis
sion has found the reason for such In
creases. T .
Under the withdrawal act almosf
unlimited power was given to the
president to' withhold lands froM 'set
tlement and to conserve water power.
On the other hand, the act providing
for the agricultural entry of the sur
face of coal lands will open to settle
ment at least 60,000,000 acres, but -will
reserve to the government the right
to the coal. .

tOWER OF DIAZ IS
RENEWED IN MEXICO
Leaders of Opposition Thrown
Into Prison Under Guard
of Troops.
, EL PASO, Tex. Porfirlo Diaz, the
80-year-old statesman who has been
President of Mexico continuously for
26 years,. has been re-elected to that
office. Ramon Corral undoubtedly
baa been chosen to succeed himself
as vice-president. The result means
that the policies of Diaz will continue
another six years, or at least as long
ai the veteran ruler shall live.
Rain iu the border states, where
there was the gceatest danger of trou
ble, dampened the ardor of the oppo
sition. Further discouragement to the
anti-re-eleotionlsts was. found in the
fact that their candidate for Presi
dent, Francisco Madero, spent elec
tion day in the Monterey prl3on, and
that many of the active leaders of
the opposition propaganda also were
in custody and under guard of Federal
troops.
. Whatever fight there was against
the administration seems to have been
Concentrated on the candidate for the
vice-presidency, Ramon Corral, who is
being groomed by the party in power
as the successor of Diaz. Corral be
lieves in the encouragement of Amer
ican investments in Mexico and in
the protection of all foreign Interests
In the republic on the theory that
they are necessary to progress. His
active attitude In this respect has en
gendered widespread opposition to
him, but by the same token, his can
didacy has been favored by the cap
italistic class, domestic and foreign.
Lawyer Out for Congress.
PORTLAND, Ore.. A. W. Lafferty,
a Portland lawyer, whose activities in
connection wlth'the claims of the Si
letz Indian Reservation settlers have
attracted considerable attention, has
announced his candidacy for Congress.

the Republican nomination In the di

RAILROADS FEAR A
SHORTAGE OF CROPS
Retrenchments Ordered in View
of Anticipated Lack of
Business.
CHICAGO? Alarmed over unfavor
able crop reports, raihoads extending
Into the Northwest have decided to
inaugurate one of the most rigid rc
trenchment policies of recent years.
All Western railroads, including those
running from Chicago into the North
west and into Canada, have had ex
perts out on their lines for the last
ten days gathering data regarding
crop conditions. These men have
made reports to various railroad man
agements, which have caused general
alarm as to the tonnage of the future.
Railroad crop reports indicated
that along the lines of the St. Paul,
Burlington, Northwestern, Minneapo
lis & Omaha and other roads the
wheat crop, in several states, will not
be greater than 50 per cent The ex
perts declare that in Minnesota and
In North and Soulh Dakota, for exam
ple, a large proportion of the wheat
acreage Is being plowed up end sown
to flax.
An early drouth, followed by days
of continuous hot winds, which took
the moisture out of the ground and
started the wheat to heading out, have
been the causes of the threatened cron
shortage. On all of the Northwestern
roads all new construction has been
ordered stopped. One road which had
several hundred miles of new road
graded and ready for rails has ceased
workmen this improvement
