An announcement of woman's box
ing match in England in 1923 says
"There has not been such battle for
these twenty years past, and as these two
heroines are as brave and, as bold as the
ancient Amazons, the spectators may ex-
pect abundance of diversion end salts
faction from these female combatants.
They will mount at the usual hour. and
the company will be diverted with cud-
gel-playing till they mount"

a large fortune it considers itself iusti-

private houses is from $4,000 to s.. 900.
and from 81, 600 to $4,000 at clubs, res
taurants and hotels. A fine French
cook, SO called-many of the French
cooks are really Swiss or Italian-can

or literary man and in certain way he

WASHINGTON, March Z.

WASHINGTON, UIHICII Z.
Roscoe Conkling has declined the nomination
of Associate Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court, and the President has rendered
the appointment to Senator Edmunds, of Yer
mont. The nomination was sent to the Senate,
but is not to be presented until Mr.. Edmunds
determines whether or not he will accept. Mr..
Edmunds is in doubt whether he will accept.
His inclinatlons are to decline the appointment.
He is not in good health, and is not inclined to
undertake the arduous duties of the bench.

To GROW richer at the rate of moro

TRANSFORMATIONS by water would cost only

5000, 900, 900 will be expended in improv-
ing inland navigation. This is to be
done from comprehension of the fact
that French manufacturers must have
cheaper rates of transportation to hold
their own against German competition.

Some Chinese Manners and Cnsfoms.

It has been we'll said that the every
day customs and manners OF the Chinese
are Numerically opposed to what We are
familiar with. In a country where, as
Wingrove Cook says, " the roses have
no fragrance and the women no petit
coats where the laborer has no Sab
bath. and the Magistrate no sense of
honor where the needle points to the
South, and the sign of being puzzled is
to scratch the antipodes of the head
where the place of honor Is on the left
hand. and the seat of intelligence is in
the stomach where TO take off your hat
is an insoleLt gesture, and to wear white
garments is to put yourself in mourn
ing" it would be difficult perhaps to
find many customs which are common
with us. It is stated that, as the needle
of the Chinese compass points toward the
South, SO also every house IN CHINA,
which is at all pretentious, faces the
same wav. as well as the state seats III
all the reception rooms. The Chinese
at home. as abroad for the most part are
industrious and frugal the poorer
classes live almost entirely on rice and
vegetables, sometimes adding small
pieces of fish and meat. They are ac-
customed to living in crowded apart
ments, and their clothing is usually but
a small item In the way of expenditure
although China is vast as to territory,
there are many who live, near the large
cities, in boats on the neighboring rivers
and lakes.-ChicGgo Inter Ocean.

DethrOne Holman.

We presume that the people Of the
country at large are not aware OF the fact
that, under the operation of the so-called
Rules" eoncoetei by Samrandall during
the Forty-sixth Congress, the majority of
the House OF Representatives has no power
to accomplish anything except to elect its
officers and organize its committees. Be-
yond this, ia every aspect of what Is
termed general legislation, the minority,
no matter how small or how disreputable,
can absolutely prohibit not merely tho en-.
actment of legislation, but even the con-
sideTation of bills. Viewing the character
of these rule, ia the light Of their opera
tion one isalmost tempted TO accord to sam
randall the credit Of discernment enough
to foresee that the Forty sixth was the last
Congress that his party could control, aud
of sblewdness enough to u.s. his vanishing
power to forge manaele5 for the limbs oi
the Republican majority that his blunderi
aud crimes had made inevitable.
Be this as it may, tie result has been ac-
complished. Under the existing rules the
business Of the House Is utterly at the
mercy Of the minority; and not merely Of
the partisan minority as whole, but o.
any group OF faction Of obstrnctionists
however small, or actaated by whatever

motivcs. As &c TO cap the climax of this
absurdity, the mean and malignant llol
man found his way back into the Forty
seventh Congress, after several terms Of
muitod defeat and obscurity; and he soon
exhausted the possibilities Of the existing
rules in the direction VIC have pointed out.
In fact it is now generally recognized and
admitted ON all hands that Holman is the
Boss Of the House, SO FAR as practical legis-
lation is concerned, welding by his "obcc-
tions" under the rules power in compari-
son with which the Speaker and all his
chaimcn dwndlc into pigmies. We might
I'll this page with illustrations, but they
are unnecessary.
A striking instance occurred the other
day in the defeat Of Mr. Harris effort to
get day set for the consideration of the
bill for the improvement Of the Navy. Not
withstanding the fact that there is no
measure of a general nature half so import
ant to the public welfare aud safety as the
Naval bill, and Notwithstanding the notori-
Gus fact that there is q decided majority Of
the House in favor Of it, Mr.. Haris was
easily chokud of by the objections of less
than dozen members of the minority, not
one of whom was actuated by any motive
more respectable than that Of personal ma
Lightly toward the new Secretary of the
Navy.
Under these circumstances we think VIC
echo the sentiments of not only the re-
sponsible party majority of the House, but
also those of large number of honorable
and public spirited gentlemen belonging to
the minority, when we say that the first
real duty of the House is to destroy the
manaclcs which Samrandall left as the leg.
acy of his malice and substitute ia their
stead an enlightened set of rules Until
this is done nothing can be done. Every
day that passes with the existing rules in
forco is day wasted, and if they are per-
mitted TO stand the end Of the session will
find the House right where it is now
iloundering in the miro with Holman like
a grinning devil in nightmare, sitting
astrido its stomach and choking it with
| objections.
| There is no reason why this issue should
be postponed. The Committee on Rules
has already considered the matter and a
| plan has been matured by which some of
the most Objectionable features of the ex-
isting rules may be abrogated. Why is not
this plan reported? Surely it cannot be
because the Republicans shrink from the
discussion il would bring on This dis
cussion would be simply a dissection of
| Samrandallisrn, and, meagre as is our opin-
ion of the Republicans, we do not think
their plight is SO sorry that they must
| urp1s sh1inl, from sucb task ne that We
repeat: Why does not Mr. Reed bring for
ward his amendments to the rules, so that
the House may be liberated from the ex-
istipg autocracy of Bill Holman?
