IN READINESS FOR CONGRESS N 0 TARIFF REVISION litl’LE fiRNEHAL LEGISLA ' T f<*> DURING COMING SESSION. ~>nf- o' Republican MUn Determine Wha and Imlrr Wht < Conditions* Tariff Kevlsiun 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. CARNEGIE OFFiRS A NEGRO LIBRARY.

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.

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 Odors of Perspiration Royal Foot Wash ■tope Chafing, cures Sweating.

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.

J., com peted and the Virginia huntsmen easi ly carried off the blue ribbon.

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.

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.
