IMPORTANT WORK.
Live Issues That Will Engage the
attention’of Congress.
MANY APPROPRIATION BILLS,
Not Likely That The Ship Subsidy
Hill Will Reach a Vote at the Present
Session.
Washington, IX C., Special.—The
last week but one of the present ses
sion of congress will be exceedingly
busy in the house. Much business re
mains to be disposed of, and fha in>
ovitable crowding which characterizes
the closing hours of congress lias be
gnu already.
The appropriations bills, so far as
the house is concerned, are in. fairly
good shape. The last of them, the
general deficiency bill, will follow on
the heels of the sundry civil which is
about half completed. These bills and
conference reports will be given the
right of way over everything else.
All other matters, some of them of
great importance relatively but not of
Operative necessity to be passed, will
have to take chances in the final rush
Speaker Henderson is almost constant
ly besieged by members importuning
him in. *be interest of various meas
ures, He is keeping clear for the great
biih> and letting the driftwood of leg
islation into the current only when it
will not impede progress of things
which must pass congress before
March 4.
Then* are many knotty problems to
he solved in connection with the ap
propriation bills over differences be
tween the two houses and many good
sized rows are promised. The ulti
mate fate of the river and harbor bill
probably will depend upon how heavy
it is loaded when it comes back from
*be Senate.
The biggest fight between the two
houses from present, appearance is
likely to occur over the war revenue
deduction act. The senate conferees
seem determined! at present to force
the senate substitute or allow the bill
to fail. But if the house conferees are
standing firm, and many members of
the house have their backs up, the im
pression prevails that the house will
support ‘heir conferees, and if it doe?
the senate in the end may be com
pelled to yield. Tomorrow is suspen
sion day and the bill appropriating
$5,000,000 for the St. Louis exposition
will be put on its passage. A motion
to suspend the rules will cut off op
portunity for amendment and no
doubt is entertained that the bill will
command the two-thirds necessary to
secure its passage upon motion to sus
pend the rules. The programme with
reference to this and other measures,
however, may be materially modified
if it becomes certain before March
4th that an extra session is to be
called.
The senate will devote practically
all its time during the present week
to appropriation bills. The postoffice
appropriation bill probably will be
taken up first upon convening,
though it may give place to the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill.
The amount cf time to be consumed
in discussing these measures will de
pend largely upon the determination
which may be reached with reference
to the ship subsidy bill.
So long as the Democrats feel that
the subsidy bill is to be pressed in
case of a dull, they will insist upon
debating all measures presented. The
bill making appropriations for fortifi
cations also will receive attention dur
ing the week, and it, is expected that
the conference report on the Indian
bill will be considered.
The Army Bill probably will be re
ported late in the week but not in
time to be debated before the begin
ning of next week.
There is some talk of the renewal of
night sessions, but it is not probable
that they will be again undertaken un
til the closing days of the. session.
A Busy Sunday.
Topeka, Kas., Special. —Mr®. Carrie
Nation put in a busy Sunday in To
peka today, and as a result the capital
city has experienced more genuine ex
citement than can be remembered by
the oldest, inhabitants. Mrs. Nation
literally crammed the day with thrill
ing episodes. She succeeded in having
the contents of a notorious join!
smashed, broke into a cold storage
plant where a number of fine bars had
heen stored away for safety, and de
molished them, addressed a large
mass meeting of men and women, and
was arrested four times.
From Lake Baikal to Port Arthur.
St. Petersburg, By Cable. —It Is re
ported from Nagaski that an agvee
raent has heen concluded between
China and the Russo-Chines* Bank
for the construction of a railway from
Lake Baikal, Siberia, to Port Arthur.
The hank in return for constructing
the line, gets the right to work it for
thirty years. The same informant as
serfs also that a line is projected from
Ktakhtha to Pekin.
NO PRIZE FIGHT.
The Governor of Ohio Puts a Stop te
Public Exhibitions.
Cincinnati, Special.—The Jhffries-
Ruhlin contest scheduled for Friday
night was declared off judicially
Thursday and officially Friday.
Mayor Fleischmann’s permit expired
at midnight, and its renewal is not ex
pected by anyone. Judge Hollister en
dorsed the entry of the decree forbid
ding the contest. It enjoins the
Sacngerfest Athletic Club from ac
cepting hereafter from the mayor in

ernor Nash, in Columbus, and llulilia

pugilists that the Governor not only
intended to stop boxing contests in
Ohio, but also to ihvestigate these
sparring exhibitions. About $50,000
had been taken ih on the sale Of tick
ets and this will be refunded. The
SIO,OOO of forfeit was Friday afternoon
turned over to Brady and Madden.
Favorable to Wilcox.
Washington. D. C., Special.—Dele
gate Wilcox, of Hawaii Friday soored
a distinct triumph in securing a un
animous vote of the House committee
on elections No. 1, confirming his
right to a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives. and holding that the
charges filed against him were not
sufficient to warrant his removal.
Chairman Taylor will submit the re
port in about a week. Mr. Taylor ex
plained that Wilcox was not subjected
to the usual strict construction, be
cause he as a delegate from anew
Territory and little mm-e than an
agent. The letters alleged to be trea
sonable were written prior to the or
ganic act making Hawaii a territory
and there was no disposition to go into
these prior issues. As to his election,
a perfect machinery of election was
established, a ballot box regularly pro
vided, practically every one partici
pated in the voting and the will of
the people was expressed.
Bail Refused Capt Carter.
Leavenworth. Kan., Special.—Ob
erlin M. Carter, ex-Captain of Engi
neers, United States Army, was
brought from the Federal prison to the
United States District Court here to
hear arguments for his release, pend
ing the appeal of his habeas corpus
proceedings in the United States Su
preme Court. The prisoner appeared
to be in good health. Two physicians
offered affidavits to the effect that the
prisoner is a sufferer from neurasthe
nia and if confined for any length of
time will suffer mental collapsS and
become insane. An affidavit by Car
ter asserted his innocence, and plead
ed for release so he may secure a civil
trial in Atlanta. Judge Hook refused
to release Carter on bail and ordered
him remanded to the Federal prison
to await the action of the United
States Supreme Court, on the appeal
In his habeas corpus case.
New Finance Company.
New York, Special.—lt is reported
In Wall street today that a financing
company with $20,000,000 capital, was
organized some time ago by Kuhn,
Loeb & Company, and associates, to
acquire securities of railroad proper
ties, as they may seem advisable, and
to issue in their place participating
certificates. It is assumed that securi
ties of the Chicago & Alton, Kansas
City oSuthern, Union Pacific, Denver &
Rio Grande and perhaps connecting or
competing lines of these will be includ
ed in the purchases of the company.
Newspaper Men at Inaugural.

The increase in population in Berlin
is most remarkable. During the last
30 years the population has increased
from 825,389 to 1,884,845 wtithin the
city limits, and. including its imme
diate suburbs, to more than 2,503,000
souls. During the last ten years it
has grown faster than Chicago. This
increase is due to the development at
the manufacturing industries.

GERMAN SUSPICION.
1)0 Not Fear a Tariff War With the
United States.
EMPEROR’S CONDUCT AND MOTIVES
The Emperor aud his Advisors Said
to be Heartily Tired of the War
With Chin*
Berlin, By Cable.—Emperor Wil
liam’s friendly conduct towards Great
Britain recently and the motives
which induced it. still form favorite
subject for discussion here. It was
because of this that unusual interest
Was taken in Germany at the opening
Of the British Parliament. The speech
from the throne and the debate on the
address in reply ‘to it were thoroughly
disappointing, because of the absence
of any reference to closer Anglo-Ger
man relations. Thomas Gibson Bowles’
interpellation anent the alleged Ger
man seizure of a portion of the Bel
gian Congo was seized on by the press
today, as proof that the British peo
ple’s hostile and meddlesome feelings
towards Germany remained unchang
ed.
The Emperor’s pro-British senti*'
ments and actions are still unceasing
ly condemned. The Dresdner Nas
chriekten (Conservative) says: “Since
Prince Bismarck’s fall, the relations
between the nation and the Em
peror were never worse.’’
The semi-official press, since His
Majesty’s return, has been doing ev
ery thing to counteract this all per
vading anti-Emperor sentiment, but
rather unskilfully and unsuccessfully:
It is noteworthy that the strongest op
position to Emperor William in this
connection comes from the Conserva
tives which party usually claims loyal- 1
ty to the monarchy as a monopoly
The Munich Allegemeine Zeitung (N
tional Liberal) inspired, announ
that Count Von Billow. Imperial Gi
cellor, assumes full responsibility
Emperor William’s pro-British ac.
and that he will seize an early op
portunity to show the nation that His i
Majesty had good and sufficient rea
sons for his conducit.
There is no doubt that the German
nation is heartily tired of the China
war. This is shown not only by the
attituc<! of *he press, but by the ut
terances in the Reichstag and Prussian
Diet. It is true tne China expenses
for 1900 amounting to /53,000,000
marks, were finally voted, but the op
posing Socialists and Freisiiaige criti
cism were heard by the Conservatives
and Centrists almost without reply,
except in connection with the mission.
Mass meetings called by the Social
ists throughout Germany this week
passed strongly worded resolutions
against the proposed prohibitive agri
cultural duties, branding them as a
most unjust and most onerous burden
for the working part of the nation, and
dictated solely by the brutal class of
the empire and the lowest agrarian
selfishness.” They not only protest
against increased duties but demand
their entire abolition.
The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten
(Conservative), has printed an article
making a strong argument that Ger
many has no need to fear a tariff war
with the United States, even if large
agricultural duties are imposed, be
cause American imports here are two
and one-half times those of Germany
to ithe United States. It cites a dis
patch saying that the Treasury De
partment at Washington is over
whelmed with telegrams on the sub
ject of additional sugar duty, adding:
“This shows that American business
interests are opposed to a possible
tariff war with Russia. How much
more will it oppose a tariff war with
Germany, whose business is worth ten
times to the United States that of Rus
sia?”
Cotton Ship Floated.
Charleston. S. C., Special.—The
Spanish steamship Otoyo, cotton la
den, from New Orleans to Genoa,
which ran ashore near Beaufort last
Monday, has been floated and towed to
Charleston. Her cargo was lightered
and brought here by tow boats. A
survey will be held Monday. The
Otoyo had 9,000 bales of cotton on
board and was putting into Norfolk
for coai when she grounded.

fHE SEEK AFTER KNOWLEDGE
The Philosopher Takes the Place
of Books For Many of The
Students;
$
1 feel pleased and honored to re
ceive letters every day frrom young #
girls and boys over the south asking’
for information on some subject or for
help in a school debate or for a start
tin a composition—just a start. These
young people are generally from the
country, where books are scarce and
uheir eagerness for knowledge and
■neural improvement is very gratify
ing. I wish that I was three or four
men so that I could respond to all
'their letters and comply with their
requests. I reply to as many as I can,
but I cannot lake time to write com
positions, even if it was right to do so.
One boy begs me to write him a
humorous speech, and winds up by
asking me to please write two, so that
j lie may take choice.
L We see that some of the good ladies
of the Atlanta Womaii’s Club are mov
ing to supply the country schools
with small libraries of good books and
fthe Southern Railway has donated
neat book cases for them. This, of
course, is for Fulton county, but it is
a move in the right direction, and will,
no. doubt stimulate the ladies of other
towns tor do the same thing. It is the
very best thing I have heard of a
woman's club doing. The desire for
, books to read is almost universal
among the people of the rural districts,
and they should be encouraged. Books
are cheaper than ever before known,
rand cheap books can be had for
aa few dollars each. 1 am not at all
ffntimate with Mr. Carnegie, but if 1
jj was I would whisper in his philan
ithropin ear and suggest tha/t he turn
■his attention for awhile to the towtis
v nfi villages and let the big cities
one. Our Cartersville Woman’s
Tb is struggling hard to keep up
" little library, but are not encour
-1 by the nfen of the town. Their
as are out all of the time, and are
ad and re-read by many of the chil
ren whose fathers do not give a dol
ar to help maintain the library. This
I may be thoughtlessness, and so I have
sugggested that the ladies go around
and see who will give 50 cents or 25
cents, or even 10 cents a month to
keep up the supply and pay their rent
and incidental expenses. Of course
the character of the books must he
thoroughly considered. Nothing sec
tional or trashy or sensational; but
only those that “point a moral or
adorn a tale.” Every public school
should have a burning commit
tee, such as they have at Forsyth, Ga.
A bright boy from Alabama writes
that his name is John Jones, and
wants r o know when and how he got
it; says his father and grandfather
had the same name, but they S’>d
without telling where they got it. He
says his schoolmate is named Will
Higginbotham and he, too, wants to
know where his name came from. I
admire their eager curiosity, for our
name is our sign hoard and every boy
ought to know who put it up and what
it reads. Of course it is too big a
thing to tell much about names in a
letter like this, hut I must tell Jack
and Bill about theirs.
John Is as old as the Christian era,
and means “Whom Jehovah loves.” 1
knew a man very well who lived near
Rome, and his four sons were named
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and
his two daughters were named Mary
and Martha. Those good old-time peo
ple had great reverence for the Bible
and Bible names. One of my father's
customers was named Shadrach Bo
gan, and his fhiee sons were Shadrack,
Meshack and Abednego. Another
customer, David Allan, named his son
Absalom, and for a wonder he was a
good boy and made a good man, and
his father, David, had no occasion to
say “Oh, Absalom, mf son, my son.”
Well in. course Oi time the people
increased and multiplied so that their
children had to have two names, so as
to distinguish them, and so John’s son
was called Johnson in English, ot
John Johns in Welsh. After awhile it
became John Jones. The Joneses are
all of Welsh origin. The Welsh were
a brave, religious people, and fought
the English for many centuries. They
never did submit until they were prom
ised that no king should rule over
them, except one born on their soil,
and he should be called the Prince of
Wales. King Edward’s son happened
to be born at a beautiful little Weis >
town named Caernavron, and the
Welsh accepted him as their future
king and called him the Prince of
Wales, and that is how the title start
ed. He was King Edward 11.
Now there was another Welsh way
of distinguishing the son from ♦’
father. The word “Ap” means son of
and it used to be written John ap
Jones, but in course of time the mid
dle word was dropped. It is a litffo
singular that away back in the tenth
century the 'Welsh people who had
been fighting each other in civil wars
for two hundred years at last made
friends and chose David ap Howey
for their king, and he had a son namup
Evan. He was a good man, and '* 3
subjeots always called him
Howell the good. That mu^* be oul
Evan of the Atlanta. Constitution. He
has just been hid out all the* years.
I see that the chamber of commerce
gave a banquet yesterday and Evan
Howell responded to the toast “Good
Fellowship.” That suited him' exact
ly, I know, and had 1 been there 1
would have told how his great ances
tor was called the “Da” and was the
las) Iting of Wales. I called him over
“Hello Da!” and he answered ‘'Here.”
Now, about Bill Higginbotham.
That is old Anglo Saxon and means a
mountain ark. The old name was
hicken. Probably the old ancestor
took his name from an ashe tree that
shaded his house. Names were scarce
and people took their surnames from
objects of nature, such as hid, foun
tain, dale, peak, pine, plant, oaks,
chestnut, grub, twigs, branch, water,
pool, mooli, stari cloud, and so forth;
or from their occupations as Baker,
farmer, carpenter, mason, miller, gar
dener, granger, and all of the family
of Smith who were the smiters of iron
and silver and gold. All who were de
tailed to watch for an invading enemy
were called smiters or smiths. John
Smith was origlnaly Johrt, the srtiiter.
Captain John Smith was an ilustrious
type of that, class. When names were
too long to pronounce readily, the
were shortened up. Peter, Who lived
at the Seven Oaks, was called Peter
Svnoaks; then Peter Snooks, and
that’s how our Atlanta friend came by
his name.
The name Coward was originally
cow herd —a herder of cattle —and was
not improved by the change. The ad
jutant of our brigade was named Cow
ard. and the army had no braver sol
dier. He lost his arm at Chiekakom
iny. He always signed his name A.
Coward, ad’jt. genl., and being asked
why he did not sign his full name,
said: “Well, my first name unfortu
nately, is Adam, and it is not quite
so bad to be a coward as it is to be a
dam coward.’
A few centuries ago every civilized
nation had to adopt a prefix or a suffix
so as to prevent the confusion of
names. The English added son to most
of their names, as Johnson, William
son, Jackson. Thompson, etc. The
Scotch prefixed wdthj Mac. The Irish
Mac or Me for son, and O for grandson.
The French took De or Du. The Nor
mans used Fitz or fils (from Latin of
filus, a son). The Russians took witch
from the same word.
Then there are many nicknames to
be accounted for, such as Bob, Bill
Jack, Jim, Sallyy PoHy, Bev'sy etc. I
don’t know how these started, but
some of them came out of the colleries
of England and the quarles of Wales,
for every miner had a nickname as
Nosey, Soaker, Shanks, Jigger, or
something easy to call. I had a school
mate whose name was Melville Young.
One day he was trying to do a sum In
Fellowship at the blackboard and
wrote down what he intended—To-D
—buit it looked 1 ike tod ,and the
teacher said, “What do you mean by
tod?” That was enough for the boys.
They began to call him Tod, and the
boys never quty., and he was known as
Tod Young all his after life.
But the girls are not so much inter
ested in names, for almost every girl
expects to change hers when the right
young man comes along. She is not
obliged to marry a man named Crm c
shanks or Snoozlefanter or Hogg, but
I’ve known them to do it, and they did
very well.—Bill Arp in Atlanta Con
stitution.

vote is described with great detail by
the statute and was followed literally.
Great crowds thronged the galleries.

tives Grosvenor of Ohio, a-u.
son, of Tennessee, flanked on *.
hand by the 'Secretary of the So -
Mr. Bennett, and the Clerk
House, Mr. McDowell,
rapped for order and announoea
object of the session. Formal
tlons of the certiflcates, except in
case of Arkansas, were omitted 1 . r
exception was because one e the
electors had 1 been absent and .e Gov
ernor had appointed a su' .utute. The
certificate was not challenged,, how
ever.
Senator Chandler read, In extenso,
the certificate of the vote of Alabama
giving 11 votes for Wm. Jennings-Bry
an of Nebraska, for President, .and 11
votes for Adlai El Stevenson, of Illi
nois, 'for Vice President. General
Grosvenor announced that Colorado
has cast four votes for Wm. Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, for President and
4 for Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, for Vice President. ‘Oh no,”
shouted Mr. Richardson, one of the
Democratic tellers, while the assem
blage burst into laughter. Mr. Gros
venor corrected the error and the an
nouncement of the vote of the several
States then proceeded in alphabetical
order.
When Maryland's eight votes wer#
announced for McKinley and Roose
velt there was slight applause. An
other ripple of applause followed the
announcement of Nebraska’s vote. It
fell to the lot of Mr. Grosvenor to an
nounce the vote of the President’s own
State of Ohio, but its announcement
created nio demonstration. On con
cluding the list the tellers formally
ascertained the totals. . ,
Senator Chandler announced the to
tal number of votes cast as 447, of
which Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, re
ceived for president of the United
States 292; Wm. J. Bryan, Of Nebras
ka, 155, and of which Theodore Roose
velt, of New York, received for Vice
President 292, and Adlai EL Steven

Thereupon Senator FYye proclaimed
the 6tate of the vote as delivered to
him. 'Phis announcement of the state
of the vote by the President of the
Senate,” said he, is by law, a suffi
cient declaration that Wm. McKinley,
of the State of Ohio, is elected Presi
dent of the United States, and that
Theodore Roosevelt, of the State of
New York, is elected Vice President,
each for the term beginning March 4,
