From our Jtesuliir Correspondent. With the Pure Food Rill and the Rate Hill both agreed to, longress is as good as adjourned. The Last day of the session saw a crowd at the White House, peoptewith belated requests, most ol which it was impossible to urant or even lay before the President and scores of Sen a t o r a and representatives wishing to pay their final 'alls. Congressmen were decide y ready to congratulate them selves on the ninountol work that had been accoiriDliphed but as a matter of fact, the most that was done was to arrive at 0 number of com promise on important pieces of legislation. The one thing in which the White House had its wny was the settle- ment.of the Panama Canal problem. That this was set tled at all was a victory sinre the railroad interests wanted to keep the matter in the air mid if possible prevent action for another session. The Rate H'll wasa decided compromise. The pipeline amendment was kno "ken" out and Senator Tillman, iu charge of the bill woujd not yeu sign the flnal report. Th Pure Food Bill was rob bed of the most of its good features by the insistence of the patent medicine firms and the various special in terests all of which feared to be exposed by thesearch light of publicity. The Department of Agriculture expresses the hope that KOine good mnjbe accomplished by the true bill as it stands on the theory thut anv sort of Federal 1-gis lation is better than a lot of ...... , . 1 1.:-. cnnnicting suite lawscu-nuui e l wich tlv situation presen ted by many states that have no food laws at all. In the same way the Meat Inspection Law was a clear lay down to the packing in terests. In spite of the expos ure and the endless injury to trade that the packers forced on themselves by their refu sal to submit to the warn ings of the Executive, they hjve managed to rid the In fection law of what were to them some of the most ob jeetionable features. Worst of all they shouldered tne ex penseof the inspection on the government. 1 ney nave oone a verv good iou of worK lor themselves, w ha teres, what ever may be thought of its moral aspect or its effect up' on the unlilic As far as the various inves fixations ami exposures that have taken and are still ta king place, their etf rt has been more mornll hau actu al. The prosecution agaiust the Standard Oil Company have been undertaken with theexpressannouncementby the Attorney tienerai mat 11 would be impossible to con r,..t .inv of the higher oil! rials oft be company. And so tn,ms these go unscatbei it is a wife bet that the tneth odsofthe corporations wii nnt. he much changed. In the last hours of the cs Hin Senator Tillman uiuoe n final nttn-k upon the pipe liue amendment ,uud paid back in a measure some of the things he had suffered car Her in the rate fight when the so called Allison Amendment was accepted. He said that the Allison amendment was the place where th Big Stick and the Pitchfork had part ed company. He wanted to do something for the peo ple and to break down the monopoly the Standard Oil Company bad fastened on the country, but heaid that he had bopn left alone on the firing line and that nil the threats of what was immedi ately to be done to the oil monopoly has now turned to what was to he doue to it at some future date when the prosecutions instituted br the Departments of Justice were completed. Thus, he said, the farce went on, the people were fooled and the promise was always of what was to be done tomorrow while there was never any or complisLmeut ' to show f o r the work today. In connection with the oil prosecutions, it may be said that the most of the final cabinet meetings this w e e k was devoted to considering the subject. Attorney Gencr al Moody arrived early at the White House with a bun die ot'docutnents that were understood to bear on the case. This was not the Brat conference this week, either. There was a meeting when theAttorneyGener.il presen ted his assistant, Mr. Pnrdy, and the special counsel that ias been engaged. Messrs. Morrison and Kellogg. The special counsel will be oeen tied chiefly in workingupthe case for the Department of .Justice to determine how fur the Standard Oil Company has violated the letter of the aw. There are many impor tant instances where the com iauy has made the law work to their own benefit and to thedetriment of the consu merand the independent op erator, Rut for these, cases, thev cannot be touched. The Navy Department has not vet acted on the resigna tion of Capt. Roprt Wynne, son of the Consul General to London. Thecouit martial that tried young Wynne for insubordination in th Ma tine Corps, ordered his dis missal, but this was suspend ed by the President to allow him a chauce to resign. This well meant clemency for Mr. Wynne, the father is a clow Iriend of the President, went for naught, as young Capt Wvnne telegraphed his resig nation without even waiting to hear of the Prenident's or der, evidently hopingto beat his dismissal to the Depart ment.

H Drown as collector of internal revenue, and the re moval of the office from Ashe ville which is in a Detnocrdtic congressional district, to Srntesyille, which is in the only Republican congression al district in the State, the Republican managers have made a sharp political move one that will give much strength to Blackburn, whose defeat is threatened. The Salisbury Post puts the Democrats of the eighth on guard. "The importance of this appointment" it says, "cannot be overestimated. While the influence of the new collector and his appointees cannot of itself change the result in the district, the fact that President RooHeyeit Speaker Canuon and Chair- mau Sherman, of the con gressional committee, are in terested to that extent wheie they are ready und willing to go many lengths to re elect fllackburn, is fair warn ing that Blackburn will not be siDglehanded in the cam paign, it is plain enough that the H'ashington officials will give Blackburn all the aid in their power, and this collectorship move shows that it is capable of giving material aid. The Demo crats of the eighth had better not try to Butisfy themselves and the rest ;ol the country the brag that Hackett ran beat' Blackburn. Of course he can do that but he will need votes. It is going to take the strongest sort of a fight to defeat Blackburn. The hurrah and the flopping of winge is not going to do it. In this case, votes count.

The fiction of thedog days is too hoary to lose iti hold easily upon a race paitial'to traditions of astral influent1-, et in human affairs, a n d some almanac maker, like those happy mortals w h o rush in where angels far to tread, aunouuee? in cheerful confidence that these "dies caniculars," as the Romans termed them, are upon us. But which and what are the "dog days?" Every compu ter of domestic calendars is a law unto itself with respect to this partiJular season, for the best of reasons the rea son itself is at spa. . In fact, it cannot be other wise, for, chuich, its astro nomical setting, upon which it entirely depends, is a per petually varying quality. In midwinter, conspicuous among tha brilliant star groups of the southern sky,' is visible the constellation ol Canis Major the Great Dog, Its bright, particular star, Siiius, though not so biill iant as some ol the plauets, is the most lustrous of all the starry host, and there fore easily theemperor of the train. For ages it has been known ns the "dog star." In ancient mythology Cani Ma jor and Canis Minor t he less er dog pmbraring the bright star "Proeyon ("going be- ore tho dog") were assigned to the mighty hunter Orion to serve him in his chnse. The stars of midwinter nights are he stars that beam upon us, all unnoticed on midsummer days, and hense at this sea son the imperial Sirins, to gelber with his canine nssoci ates, Procyon, shires all of lhe day in the summernziire The Romans of the olden time annually sacrificed c dog to Sirus, hoping to win bis favor towards their fields and flocks. The Egyptians, long before, gavethe closest attention to the lising of Sirius, for in their thought It was associated with the weal or woe of the Nile, "Sirius," and indicted the propitious time for sowing. Unfortunately for, votaries of the "signs" in planting and other astrological vag aries, the rising of Siiius varies, with the latitude be sides, it yaries, in the same latitude as decades and cen turies commending what he has as God's gift.
