How the Senate Junketing Committee
Proposes to Spend the Summer.
Snecinl To the Globe

How the Senate Junketing Committee
Proposes to Spend the Summer.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-All the arrange
ments for Senator Culom's junket are now
complete. The committee consists of Gull
lon, Hoar, Warner Miller, German and
Harris. They can have a clerk, a
stenographer and sergeant-at-arms,
travel about in private car,
and take what they will be pleased to
call testimony at any summer resort they
may feel impeled to visit. 1t is not sur
prising that the hard-headed and matter-of-
fact Senator Cockrell of Missouri offered a
resolution Yesterday to allow any two sena-
tors to resolve themselves into committee
to investigate anything they please at
home or in Europe, on land or
sea, with all the concomitants OF
clerks, stcnographer and sergeant-at-arms
and blank check on the contingent fund
Of the senate The senate has three standing
committees on this transportation question.
The committees are railroads, commerce
and transportation rates to the seaboard,
but the creation OF this special committee
not only affords means for more or
less
SUMNER TRAVEL,
but it provides Senator Cullom with the
means OF paying his clerk from now to De-
cember. which he would not have otherwise.
Senator Cullom has just been made chair
man of the committee on expenditure OF
public money, and when this committee gets
through with its travels he will have acquired
a good deal of information on this sub
ject. The railroad problem, like a
good many others, can be studied
to a good deal OF advantage in private by
senators. Unofficial students have made
quite Us valuable studies OF all these
ECONOMIC MATTERS
as any select committee of either branch of
congress can, but of course Senator McPher-
sons pertinent suggestion that senators who
wanted information on the railroad question
should spend a few hours daily reading in
libraries in the capitol met with no approval
in the senate, because what senators
want to do is to'cnlarge their minds by travel
ing at the public expense. The railroad
question has been very thoroughly investi-
gated by different committees. But Mr..
Cullom disposed of all this work by saying
that persons whose testimony had been
taken were persons whose business 1t was to
manage railroads. What he wanted was 10
get valuable opinions OF people who didn't
have any acquaintance with the
MANAGEMENT OF A RAILROAD.
He wanted the people to have a chance to
tell his committee what they would like.
There Is no doubt that a new select commit
tee can find hy travelling over the country 4
considerable number of witnesses who will
testify that railroads ought 10 carry passen-
gers for cent a mile, or probably for moth
ing. but when this valuable testimony has
been paid for by witness fees, reported stem
graphically and printed at the government
printing office, It will not make it one parti-
Gle easier to get the Cullom bill through the
house or yet the Reagan bill through the SEN
ate, hut the senator's summer rsmbles and
the clerks salaries are provided for.

would have been rescued as some men in a

STUNG HIS PARTY.

1t was through his refusal to close the
New York postoffice on election day that
over 700 Republican clerks and en-
ployes were prevented from voting and the
entire force of 1900 to 1,400 Republican
workers was kept away from the polls. That
act defeated Blaine as much as Burchard's
ALTERATION. Pearson wanted to close the
Office. Now he wants to be kept in on the
ground that he is civil service reformer. 1t
remains now to be seen if he can eat his
cake and have it too.

Will Adjourn Before the Week Closes.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-It is probable
that the senate will adjourn without day be-
fore the end of the week and possibly it may
do so by Tuesday or Wednesday night. The
sessions from this time until the final adj
journment are likely to be held chiefly in
secret. A considerable number of nomina-
tions are expected tomorrow and Tuesday.
The time not consumed in their considera-
ton will be spent upon minor treaties.

SuAK1M, March 22.-The unofficial esti-
mate places the British killed at fifty-two and
unded at eighty-fve Nearly all the cas-
uaitles were due to spear thrusts received in
the hand-to-hand engagements. The Arabs
got between the transport train and zereba
and speared the men of the transport corps
and killed the animals. They fought say
agely,
REFUSING TO GIVE OR TAKE QUARTER.
Gen. Mcneil, who commanded the zereba,
reports vaguely that there were several thou
sand rebels in the fight and over 1000 killed
or wounded. Mcneil is blamed for not tax
ing precautions against surprise.
Canned Meats for the Army in Egypt,
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March 22.-Within the past
two months the English and French govern
ments have given heavy orders for canned
meats in the United States for the use of the
armies in Egypt and Tonquin. The orders
have been mainly for beef, and the money
so far expended amounts to some
SS00,OO0. Cases of cans are
being shipped weekly to London and
Paris. On Tuesday last one company re-
ceived an order for 100000 pounds of beef,
making
ALTOGETHER 100000 POUNDS
which they have thus far sold to the English
government. Most of the canned goods
consist of canned and roast beef ready
cooked and put up with special reference to
use in the hot climates. 1t is packed in six
pound cans by instruction. A prominent
packer said to-day: ''We slaughter be-
tween 100000 and 100000 cattle eYerv
year. Only about $50 pounds of
each animal are fit for canning, as the fatty
parts cannot be used. To provide 100000
pounds of corned beef, or 100000 cans,
would
REQUIRE 20,0U0 CATTLE.
The parts not used in canning are sold as
fresh meat. Our business with the British
government has been between $500, 900 and
100000. We understand that the meat is
for the Egyptian army, and it is sent from
London to Alexandria and Suakim. 1t is
bought in this country because there are no
other dealers who could fill the orders.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Much fault is
found by not few Dem mocrata because the
president has not already supplanted every
Republican officeholder with Democrat. In
his own good time he will engage the
services of good Democrats to aid
him to administer the estate of which
he is the numerical head. If
however, he should yield to the clamor to do
this at break-neck pace the result would be
the crippling of the machinery of the gov
ernment and give the enemies of the admin
istration on this score just point of attack.
President Cleveland is not unmindful of the
services of those who contributed to his own
election, and means to provide for them,
but to do it in such way and
time as will not cause any
friction upon the governmental machinery
as whole. 1t would be simply waste of
time to endeavor to catch up with sensations
or
ABSURD FALSEHOODS
telegraphed daily from this point. With this
week the announcement of important diplo-
matte appointments is promised. 1t is ru-
mored that the French, German and Russian
missions are to be filled, and that England
and Austria are to remain unchanged for a
few months. Mr. Cleveland's cabinet works
harmoniously together, and, moreover, it is
working cabinet. Already a mum Der of
barnacles have been set adrift. In every
department of the government inquiries
have been made to reduce the working
force to an honest basis. The attor-
ney general yesterday Topped off FIVE
superfuous heads and the postmaster gen.
eral ten.
The administration of President Cleveland,
not yet a month inaugurated has made a
deep impression on the public mind, and
CARPING CRITICS
are at loss to know at what point to assail
it. Thus far the appointment of Higgins to
the head of division in the treasury
department is the only source of
attack. Higgins halls from Baltimore

Loss of Life at the LanghamcHotel Fire.
CHICAGO, March 22.-The fire which de-
stroyed the Langham hotel last night proved
much more dreadful in loss of life and
physical injuries entailed than supposed un-
til a late hour last night. 1t is now known
that at least
FIVE PERSONS WERE KILLED
and four injured. just before the south
wall of the hotel fell upon
the Faxon building number of
persons besides those of the fire insurance
patrol were inside the latter building, assist
ing to save goods, as no immediate danger
was apprehended. There is no means of
knowing just how many of these volunteer
helpers were in the structure at the time, but
excavations have proceeded to an extent
which justifies the hope that all the dead have
been found. AS far as known those at work
in the Faxon building when
CRUSHED BIZ THE FALLING HOTEL
walls were the following:
Capt. Edward Shepard,
James Boyd,
Knute Thine,
Patrick Mullens,
John Walsh,
Frederick Jones' All these were of the
FIRE insurance patrol.
William Bean, piano tuner.
John Hennessy, clerk.
Both of these latter were employed in the
building. Mullens and Thine being in
the rear of the building, were forced
out through one of the windows by
rush of air as the building fell and were
not dangerously hurt. Captain Shepard and
Boyd were pinned down by fallen timbers
and were rescued alive about midnight
Both are seriously hurt, but it is believed
will recover. Walsh aud Jones were taken
out about O'Clock this morning,
BOTH CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Bean was alive when found and was taken
to the county hospital, where be died at 5
O'Clock this mording. The body of Hen
messy was recovered at 6 o'clock tonight.
Soon after the walls fell the wreck took
fire and the iremen turned several streams
on the blazing mass to save their comrades
from being roasted TO death, though at i'm
minent risk of drowning them. The water
was ice-co!d and drenched the poor, impris-
oned fellows, chilling them 10 the marrow.

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes

The best answer to all criticism, the
best test of all work, is-result
Nothing is wholly good or bad. There
are dark spots in the sun and bright ones
in coal mine.
Some men are as covetous as if they
were to live forever; and others are as
profuse as if they were to die the next

1t is certain that either wise bearing
or ignorant carriage is caught as men

them take heed of their company.
If you want to be miserable, think
about yourself, about what you want,
what you like, what respect people pay
you, and what people think of you.
To make others wit appear more than
ones own, is good rule in conversation !
a necessary one, to let others take notice
of your wit, and never do it yourself.
Nothing but frank intercourse with
independent minds, nothing but discus

The leaves that give out the sweetest
