j, hß ll Hr Attempted—A lively
scramble Looked for When the
Klver and Harbor Bill la Taken
in.
By R. 31. Lamer.
Washington, Nov. 18. —.At the Capi
tol everything is in readiness for the
closing session of the present Con
gress. The big white building on Cap
itol Hill has received its annual clean
ing. and the employes, who have been
taking life easy during the recess,
are prepared to resume business at the
old stand. The approaching short ses
sion will be taken up, principally with
the consideration of the annual appro
priation bills.
The Republican leaders do not antic
ipate much general legislation this
winter. Floor Leader Payne, chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. while at the White House yester
day. said he did not expect any tariff
revision at the coming session. His
idea is that a general conference of
the Republican leaders of the Senate
and House will determine when, and
under what conditions tariff revision
shall be attempted. It is suggested
that, instead of the President calling
an extra session of Congress next
spring, a joint committee composed of
Republican senators and representa
tives, might be authorized to take up
and consider the subject of tariff re
vision and report to the new Congress,
when it convenes, December, 1905.
Scrninlile Over tile “Pork Barrel.”
There will be a lively scramble when
the river and harbor bill, sometimes
called the “pork barrel,’’ is taken up.
There has been no general river and
harbor bill for the last two years, and
by unanimous consent it was agreed
that a general river and harbor bill
should have a show during the coming
short session. Almost every senator
and representative has a personal in
terest in the “pork barrel,” and the in
dications are that the treasury will re
ceive a severe financial jolt if all the
projects contemplated are provided for
in the forthcoming bill. During the
last session delegations, representing
various localities, were given hearings
before the River and Harbor Commit
tee, to facilitate prompt action at the
approaching session. It is understood
the committee proposes to meet prior
to the asembiing of Congress and en
deavor to frame a bill to be presented
in the early hours of the session.

SAYS MILLS TOOK
TOO MUCH WATER.
Eagle Knl Phoenix Suing the Mus
cogee Company.
Columbus. Ga„ Nov. 18.—The Eagle
and Phoenix Mills to-day brought suit
against the Muscogee Manufacturing
Company for $30,000 damages, and also
petitioned the Superior Court to make
the defendant company cease its al
leged trespass upon the water rights of
the first named mills.
Both plants are on the Chattahoo
chee river, and are operated by water
power developed by a dam at the foot
of the Eagle and Phoenix property. The
Eagle and Phoenix mills own eighteen
of the water lots, and the Muscogee
mills one lot, and it is claimed by
the plaintiffs in to-day’s suit that the
Muscogee mills are entitled to only
one-nineteenth of the normal flow of
the river.
The river has been very low during
the past few months, and the Eagle
and Phoenix mills claim that the Mus
cogee mills used about one-half the
entire flow of the river, with the re
sult that the various departments of
the Eagle and Phoenix mills were com
pelled to work on short time, because
of lack of power, thereby entailing
damage to that company estimated at
over $30,000.
Attorneys Goetchius and Chappell
and Little and Battle represent the
complainants. The case has been set
for a hearing as to the injunction fea
ture.
TEAMSTERS DRAWN IN.
Complication In the Strike of the
Chicago Strike.
Chicago. Nov. 18.—The strike of fur
niture wagon drivers, which led to
street riots yesterday, spread to-day to
other factories In the Furniture Man
ufacturers’ Association. Picket lines
were established by the strikers and
several factories were practically In •
state of siege, the guarding unionists
warning away drivers of lumber and
coal wagons loaded with material and
fuel for the beleagured plants.
The Truck Drivers' Union, the larg
est local organization of teamsters in
the world, was drawn into the strike
of the furniture wagon drivers to-day.
Fifteen of the members were ordered
to quit work because their employers
had refused to sign the wage agree
ment of the furniture drivers. Seven
more firms were temporarily tied up
by this action.
A trip made by wagons of the John
son Chair Company, whose' drivers
were attacked yesterday, caused a
clash between the police and strike
sympathizers. Stones were thrown
and a futile attempt made to blockade
an outlying street. The police were
able to disperse rioters.
OUTLINE OF POLICY.
Adopted By the National Founders’
Association.
Cincinnati, Nov. 18. Secretary
Hutchings and Commissioner Briggs
to-night gave out an “outline of pol
icy" adopted by the National Found
ers’ Association, which has been in ses
sion here since Wednesday. The out
line states that it will be the policy of
the association not to permit the lim
itation of a man's earning capacity,
whether he is working by the day, by
the piece or premium system; thus
protecting our workmen in a desire to
improve their conditions.
The association affirms its deter
mination to prevent the imposition of
fines to prevent a moulder from earn
ing increased wages. Employes will
be paid by hourly rate, by premium
system, piece work or contract as em
ployers may elect.
Foundrymen shall have the right to
Introduce moulding machines.
Arbitration is favored under certain
circumstances, but not with work
men on strike.

COL ESTILL DISCUSSES
THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE
Will Become a Candidate if a Sufficient Number
of People Show They Want Him
to Be Governor.
Augusta, Nov. 18.—The Herald to
day says:
Col. J. H. Estill of Savannah, who
is b£ing prominently spoken of as a
candidate for Governor in the next
campaign, is in the city attending the
convention of the Mystic Shriners to
day.
It is generally thought that Col. Es
till will enter the coming gubernatorial
race. It will be remembered that he
ran second in the primary preceding
Gov. Terrell’s first election. Col. Es
till made a very strong fight then
tremendous odds, and his
strength os a candidate is shown by
the fact that he carried Richmond
county by a large majority. The
splendid showing made by Col. Estill
in that race convinced his friends
that he would be a winning candidate
in the next campaign.
Col. Estill has never denied that he
would probably be in the race, and
his entrance in the next campaign was
made practically certain by the rous
ing indorsement given his candidacy
last night by the Citizens Club of
Savannah, which is the most power
ful political organization in Chatham
county.
A Herald reporter discussed his
probable candidacy with Col. Estill
at his hotel this morning. Col. Estill
says he is not now a candidate, but
that when a sufficient number of peo
ple demonstrate the fact that they
want him for Governor he will make
the race.
“I was not a self-appointed candi
date in the last campaign," said Col.
Estill, “but ran because the pressure
from my friends was so great that I
had to run. I was in the position of
the little boy that was grabbed by the
seat of his trousers, thrown into a
deep stream of water, and told to
swim, or he would sink. My friends
having placed me in this position, I
swam. I was not then, nor will I ever
be, a mere seeker of office, but I made
such a strenuous fight because the
weakling’s part Is not to my liking.
When I go into battle I fight to win,
and if I go down, it shall not be said
of me that I went down other than as
a figljting man should, who has been
put forward as the champion of a
great number of people.
“I ran because I thought the people
wanted me to run, and the fact that I
received the majority of the votes cast
In a great county like Richmond, as
well as a large number of others, shows
that I was not deceived in thinking so.
The same thing is true of the next
campaign. It is a long time off yet
to discuss the matter, but I shall gov
ern myself simply by what I think
the people want. They are the ones
who ought to say who the candidates
shall be. so at that time. If a sufficient
demonstration is made by them that
they wish me to do so, why, I will en
ter the race.
"Do not' misunderstand me to say
that any man hasn’t the right to run
for Governor if he wants to do so.
Any man can enter the race who wishes
to, but I simply hold that for myself
the people shall decide the question.
It is a laudable ahibltion to desire to
be Governor of Georgia. The office
will honor any man. and no m*an can
say he would refuse It If the people
gave It to him. However, It is not my
purpose to enter upon a career of of
fice seeking this late in life, and I am
too old to have ambitions beyond the
gubernatorial chair. I am now Avell
up in the sixties, and the future can
hold little for me in the way of politi
cal preferment, beyond the office for
which my name is menttonel."
Col. Estill defined to make any
statement when shown The Herald of
yesterday, containing the story of Mr.
Hardwick's probable candidacy for the
Governorship. He said Mr. Hardwick
was as much privileged to make the
race as he or any one else. He would
not say anything about the strength
the Tenth district's congressman could
develop in the campaign, except that
he was told Mr. Hardwick was popu
lar In his section and Was a good cam
paigner. He said all the men whose
candidacy has been discussed were able
gentlemen, and would doubtless make
Georgia a good Oovernor. He thought,
however, that the Democrats would
have to put forAA'ard a strong man next
time. "For if Mr. Watson runs, as It
seeine that he will, there are enough

Populists and disgruntled Democrats to
poll a tremendous vote for him. If
there is a bitter primary he will get
a good many supporters from the dis
satisfied factions, so everything should
be done to prevent any split among the
supporters of the different Democratic
candidates. If Watson stumps the
" hole state in a thorough campaign
he may show up much better than he
did in the presidential race."
Col. Estill said that it was too far
in advance to say what the issues of
the next campaign would be. “If I run
I will make a straight, stand-up fight,
and tell the truth to the people Just as
I did before.”
The tricks of the political time
server have no charm for Col. Estill.
He said that,lf elected,he would rather
that it be said of him that no man nor
set of politicians had dictated his ad
ministration, but that he had been the
Governor of all the people, and had
done something of real service to the
state, though he made no brilliant rec
ord. He declared that he would not
have an office that was gotten by any
means not consistent with the highest
principles of honor. He v\>as too con
tented with his newspaper work and
his garden, and was too comfortably
fixed to have to stoop to anything lit
tle to gain a position.
The Colonel declared that he was
younger than he had ever been in his
life—that he was born old and had
been getting younger ever since. No
one who looked at him could doubt
this statement.
VIRGINIA HUNTSMEN
WON AT HORSE SHOW.
The Week Ha* Been the Most Sac
ceMMfal Known.
New York. Nov. 18.—The crowds at
the horse show this afternoon and to
night were the largest of the week,
and this has been the most successful
week in the mutter of attendance the
National Horse Show Association of
America has ever had.
The most picturesque feature of the
afternoon was the class In which three
members of various hunt clubs appear
ed In the distinctive uniforms of the
hunt. Four clubs, the Cameron Run
Hunt Club of Alexandria. Va., Rich
mond County Hunt, Westches'.er Hunt
and Essex Hunt of Orange. N. J., com
peted and the Virginia huntsmen easi
ly carried off the blue ribbon. Their
horses were more nearly matched
they fenced better; their uniforms were
more distinctive, and the riders more
of a bight, and In general conforma
tion, they easily were ahead.
The three riders with the mounts
were Mr. Evans, on (mrnett Ripple:
Mr. Hoff on Tiptop; Mr. Smith on
Lucy Sullivan.
The Shetland pony class, which Is
always the prettiest sight of the show,
was on the programme to-day. None
of the horses was larger than a good
sized dog, and they were driven to
small wagons by children.
An extraordinary demonstration
took place when the English girl. Miss
Ella Ross, was awarded the blue rib
bon In the novice class for a pair, hr
black geldings, Rowlon Blackthorn
and Rowlon Vienna. When the pair
were picked out by the Judgt* for the
honor and the blue rosette was being
fixed to the handsome head of Rowlon
Blackthorn, there was an outburst of
cheering that lasted several minutes,
and was revived again and again.
Miss Ross brought over a number
of horses and vehicles, and considera
ble sympathy has been extended her.
because of her poor luck when her ex
hibits wore Judged.
JEWELS WERE STOLEN.

New York, Nov. 18.—Dr. J. Samuel
Holley, a prominent physician of Lex
ington, Ky„ and Mrs. Holley, who are
In this city, have reported to the Cen
tral Detective Bureau that one of their

GETTING ON THE
GROUND EARLY
CONGRESSIONAL ARRIVALS
GIVE A LIVELY APPEARANCE TO
WASHINGTON.
Mot of Them Are Republicans.
Democratic Congressmen n Little
Shy of the Capital Yet In Spite
of the Racing Season—Distinguish
ed Men Who Are Seen Dally On
Pennsylvania Avenue.
By R. M. Larner.
Washington, Nov. 18. —Pennsylvania
avenue presents a gay and festive ap
pearance, these bright November days.
Senators and representatives are re
turning dally and many faces familiar
only during the session of Congress,
are encountered at the Capitol, at the
White House, and on the principal
thoroughfares. Naturally, the early
congressional arrivals are mostly Re
publicans. The Democratic congress
men seem to be a little shy of Wash
ington just now. in spite of the fact
that the racing season is now on at
Henning tracks.
A stroll down the avenue during
the morning hours for promenading or
shopping, is always interesting to
visitors at this season. You are apt
to meet Admiral Dewey, out for his
morning cortstitutional, accompanied
by a small black Spaniel dog, a pet
of Mrs. Dewey. Everybody knows the
admiral and strangers are especially
delighted to get a view of the hero
of Manila at close range. The ad
miral is always well groomed and
graciously acknowledges the saluta
tions from friends and strangers alike.
He Is very fond of children, and fre
quently stops for a brief chat with the
little folks of his acquaintance.
I
UiNdiigulKhtMl Men On I'nradfs
Further along you met Chief Justice
Fuller of the Supreme Court, whom
some of the gossips assert, intends to
resign after the 4th of March, to give
President Roosevelt an opportunity to
appoint Secretary Taft or some other
equally deserving Republican. Chief
Justice Fuller enjoys the walk to the
Capitol, when the weather permits, his
short figure and long white hair make
him conspicuous among the strollers
on the avenue. If he knows you well
enough he will tell you with a good
natured laugh that he has no inten
tion of resigning from the Supreme
bench. He will also tell you that the
gossips, who predict his early retire
ment, were so poorly informed on the
subject that they stated that the sal
ary of the chief Justice is $10,500, when
as a matter of fact the present com
pensation of the chief justice is $12,-
500.
Don Cameron as n Promenniler.
Former Senator Don Cameron of
Pennsylvania, has made his reappear
ance among the promenaders on the
avenue. For a number of years, the
Cameron family appeared to have a
mortgage on a seat in the United
States Senate, from the Keystone
State. The Clan Cameron was over
thrown several years ago, and Don
Cameron dropped out of official life
at Washington, where for many years,
he was a bright and shining light. His
magnificent residence, on Lafayette
Park, has in the meantime been oc
cupied by such dlstingqlshed tenants
as the late Vice President Hobart, the
late Senator Mark Hanna, and the
wealthy widow. Mrs. Thaw of Pitts
burg, mother of Harry Thaw, who has
had considerable newspaper notoriety
of late, growing out of an acquaintance
with an actress.
Don Cameron has not changed In
personal appearance since his retire
ment from the Senate, and he seems
to retain a keen Interest in national
politics, although he cheerfully admits
that he is “A has been.” Mrs. Cam
eron. who is one of the most beautiful
and aocomsslished members of Wash
ington society, will receive a hearty
welcome back to the scene of her for
mer social triumphs, and the Cameron
house promises to resume Its place
among the most hospitable homes at
the National Capital.
Met On the Avenue.
The list of distinguished promenaders
might be extened Indefinitely. Here
are the names of wellknown persons
met In a single block: Senator Aid
rich, of Rhode Island, the floor leader
of the Republicans In the Seriate. Rep
resentative Lon Livingston, the first
Democratic congressman to call at the
White House since the election, (Wed
nesday the 16tih). Senator Proctor, of
Vermont. Representative McCleary, of
Minnesota, who may be the next chair
man of the House Committee on Ap
propriations, in the event of the pres
ent chairman, Representative Hem

to the Senate* to succeed Vice President
elect Fairbanks. Rear Admiral Hleh

WHAT 18 “BLANK'' IN FRENCH f
British and the Humnluu* Are Try
ing to Decide.
London, Nov. 18.—Great Britain has
not yet accepted the modifications of
the North sea convention proposed by
Russia. The draft of the convention,
which has now had quite an interest
ing career, is in London and proposals
and counter proposals on the subject
of the wording continue to be ex

graded as satisfactory to both parties.
