tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrnUSE.)
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-ln the House to-day the
conference report on the Shipping bill was adopted
unanimously after short but spirited debate.
The only opposition offered was by Mr. Brecken-
ridge, of Kentucky. and Mr.. Hammond of Georgia,
and 1t seemed to be based more upon desi re to
talk than anv valid ground Mr.. Breckenridge
did say that lie regarded rs dangerous the power
with which it is proposed to arm the President and
Mr. Hammond warned the House that under the
operation of the Frye amendment the United States
might be forced into war with some foreign
Power. Mr.. Reagan was IN n bellIgercnt mood,
and when he declared that we must show Canada
and treat Britain that VIC mean to insist on fair
treatment and equal commerc al privilege" there
was applause both sides of the House Mr..
DInGley explained the scope and purpose OF the
Frye amendment, which is SIMPLY to enable the
President t. apply to fore gn vessels n American
ports the same limitations as to commercial prlyl-
eges that are imposed upon American vessels in the
ports of the country from which such foreign YES
sells may come Mr. Dunn also explained and adj
vocated the amendment aud remarked incidentally
that tic bill will remove from American shipping
burdens amounting to two three millions of dol
lars year. He added
am not III tho hablt OF max ng the American
eagle scream in this House, but am for my country
against the discrimination and unjust action of
foreign countries"
Mr. Reed closed the debate with a short, pithy
statement of the design Of Canada in her efforts to
cripple the American fisheries by DENYING to fish
ing vessels of the United States the commercial
privileges to which they are entitled under the
laws of Great Britain and which are enjoyed by the
vessels of other Nations.
In tho Senate Mr.. Miller presented the report Of
the Conference Committee and it unanimously
adopted without debate. The bill will be sent to
the President tom morrow for his approval.

ELECTRIC THIEVES.
How Some Shrewd New Workers Obtai
Their Supply of Light.

How Some Shrewd New Workers Obtain
Their Supply of Light.
Edison has encountered a novel form
of theft in conducting his electric bust
ness in New York. 1t was found that
numerous unprincipled persons had
availed themselves of the opportunity
to steal electricity, and use it for oper-
ating motors and for induction coils
The method of tilching the electricity
was by boring through the iron pipe
surrounding the insulating compound,
and then further into one of the copper
leads. A set screw fixed into the orifice
formed one connection and the earth
the other. OF course this connection
was made beyond the electric meter.
1t was hardly worth while to maintain
the continued espionage necessary tc
detect and punish these pilferers, but
the superintendent of the station (Mr.
Chamberlain) coupled in extra dyna-
mos and threw as great an increase of
current over the system as the safety
catches would permit at various times
for about one second; while this cur
rent was passing the incandescence
lamps would give an unwonted glow,
and every induction coil and motor
surreptitiously attached to the system
would receive an extra current de.
signed to burn it. In this manner the
system is occasionally cleared of al
trespassers. N. Y. Herald.

1T DIDN'T WORK.

A Little Game In Which the Dealer Has
Good-sized Percentage.
A young man from st. Louis read in
the papers that there was an infallible
way to get ahead of the monte fiend.
"When," said the journal he consulted,
1.-THE gambler lays down the three cards
and offers to wager that you can't pick
up designated card, pick up all three
at one sweep and you have him sure. :"
Impressed with the infallibility of this
rule, the young man from st. Louis lay
around till he found a Chicago gambler
who was inviting any adventurous soul,
who would bet five dollars, to pick the
jack out of the three cards that formed
his working capital. The young man
said he didn't bet no five dollars, but if
the gambler had any money he had a
fifty-dollar bill that would talk. The
bet was made and the gambler threw
the cards. "Now you bet fifty dollars
| can't pick up the jack" said the St.
Louisan. with smile of confidence.
That's me-" laconically replied the
gambler. .Then. here she goes" re-
piled the St Louisan, as he took up all
three cards at once.
II guess that's my money!" said the
gambler, impsssively, there's no jack
at all, there: There wasn't either,
and he took the money.
You see. sonny" he added, there's
big percentage in favor of the dealer
IN this here game. ."-Teras Ssftisgs,

JOHN VAN BUREN,.
How He Came to Pull His Father, tho
President, Out of Bed.

How He Came to Pull His Father, tho
President, Out of Bed.
While his father was President young
John Van Buren, visited England, and,
as the son of the President of tho
United States, he received great atten-
ton. He dined with the Queen who,
was then young girl, where his supe-
rior grace of manners, fine converse
tional powers, and witticisms made
him appear to greater advantage than
the titled f'upkeys who were around
her Majesty. He attended one of
the balls at Buckingham Palace and
danced with her. and the story was
told that her Majesty became very
sweet on him. 1t was this incident
that gave him the cognomen of prince
john" There was another story in
circulation about him which illustrates
his want of special reverence for his
father. The old gentleman and John
had habit of lying in bed late in the
morning. Finally one day the former
said to his son that reform must be
instituted-that both must rise earlier.
The hopeful agreed, and suggested
that the first one who got up should go
to the room of the other and pull him
out of bed This was agreed to. John
was out all the following night on a
"bum," and did not reach home till
next morning about five. He went to
his fathers room and took hold of him
for the purpose of pulling him out Of
bed. The old man protested against
being disturbed, saying he had not had
sufficient sleep. Look here, gov
ernor, itwas your own proposition that
we. should institute reform in regard
to lying in bed so late. Here l am up
at your request, and you won't fulfill
your part of the agreement. Remem-
Der. the one who got up first was TO
pull the other out of bed. So now get
up or I'll pull you out" Tell it not in
Gath! This young scamp made the
President of the United States get up in
spite of himself. After seeing the old
gentleman dress himself the rascal
sneaked to his own room and was soon
in his bed asleep. The story got out by
John telling it on his father to lot Of
boon companions. John afterward
became famous lawyer and politician.
He was one of the most eloquent speak.
