Several gentlemen were talking in
a saloon about absent-minded people.
Gilhooly said he thought that old Prof.
Snore, of the University of Texas, was
the most absent-minded man in the
business. He was on his way to the
srain when he imagined that he had
left his watch at home. 'sWhat do you
suppose he did?'' asked Gilhooly. Il

What did George Washington

term he was requested to furnish that
body with certain documents relat-
ing to the treaty with Great Britain,
On the goth of March. 1896. he sent
a reply. of which the following is
the concluding paragraph:
"It is essential to the due admins
trat,on of the government that the
boundaries 6xed by the constitution
between the different departments
should be preserved; Just regard to
the constitution and the duty OF my

LONDON, May 6.-The Daily Telegraph hopes
that the decisions OF the national liberal fede-
ration at yesterdays meeting will have the
effect of increasing the obstinacy of both Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Chamberlain and make u
reconciliation impossible.
Mr.. Trevelyan addressed the electors of Ha-
wick yesterday. He denounced chiefly the land
purchase bill, by which, he said. twenty Irish
landlords would receive 100000 each, and
three hundred landlords would receive E40-
100000 between them. He said he would
gladly support the home rule bill IL IL
altered SO as 10 prevent the danger Of complete
separation and keep such a hold on Ireland ~
would justify the abandonment Of the land pur-
chase bill.
At loya.ist meeting, held at Preston yester-
day, letter was read from the Earl of Derby.
In il he says that the present parliament does
not possess any moral right 10 decide the Irish
question. The right to settle that question, he
says, belongs only TO the electors, whose opin.
ion on the subject has not yet been asked. IL
they decide in favor of granting home rule In
that he has not abandoned hope that the rulers

LONDON, May 6.-The meeting here of the
liberal federation was a tremendous triumph
for Gladstone and An equal repulse for Cham.
beriain. The federation consists of delegates
from all parts of England but its headquarters
are those of the Birmingham caucus There
was the fullest attendance ever seen. The
meeting was extremely excited, and broke up
after the vote almost In confusion. The original
resolution of Mr.. Really, supporting Chamber
lain; though protesting great confidence in
Gladstone, met with an amendment to declare
unconditional sympathy and support for Glad
stone. Twenty-Five people out of about a thou
sand voted for the original resolution. One
speaker described Chamberlain as a traitor,
amid wild cheers. The curious fact remains
however, that while Chamberlain himself is de-
nounced, the home rule scheme is being altered
daily in accordance with his views.

The senate was called to order promptly at

out a quorum. Mr.. Ranvells introduced a res

authorized to appoint sufficient number OF
sergeants-at-arms Tor the purpose of apprehend-
ing and arresting the absentees and bringing
them before the Senate. Mr.. Van Cleaf elaine j
that there was no authority for such action.
The chair decided that the resolution was In
order, and it was passed. Gen. Kennedy will
at once appoint officers to pursue the missing
members and it is believed that a sufficient
number can be found to make q quorum. AT
one clock the senate adjourned till tomorrow

A FIELD DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Sharp Attack on the Bounty Bill.
MR.. HEWITT LEADS THE ASSAULT-HE ADvC
GATES REDUCTION OF TAXATION AND RI
FERS TO THE WESTERN RIOTS.


The House had q hard fight over the veterans
bounty bill yesterday, which lasted from early
In the afternoon until nearly two o'clock this
morning without result. The bill was to allow
bounty money to be paid to commissioned off,
GERS In the late war who had enlisted as
privates, and had failed on account of promo
ton to get a bounty. Mr.. Hewitt, of New York,
led in the opposition to the bill and made a
savage assault upon 1t. He declared that the
limit ofiendurence on the part of the tax pay
ers had been reached, and that the discomfort
on account of excessive taxation was breaking
out In riots, dynamite and death. Those who
treasury took advantage OF the delicate posi-
ton the southern members are placed in, being
subject TO the charge of disoyalty If they resist
the steal. But no one could bring this charge
against him and he would make the fight.
The question to-day" he said, ''is social ORDER.

tanned. 1t is better to have bad laws than no
laws; 1t Is better TO have tyranny than anarchy,
and it is measures like this that are forcing this
Issue upon the people. The House should ad-
dress itself TO measures of relief-to the re-
duction of taxation"
"IT the reduction of taxation is the prime
necessity OF the hour, why does not your major
| ity reduce i,?" asked Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa.
replied Mr.. Hewett. "The democrats of this
house have majority. There is "a bill pending

atonement Tor the failure OF this House and my
party and administration to fulfill the pledges
they made To the people when they asked for
their votes and received the verdict which
placed them in power. Yes! yes! We shall be
traitors to every obligation which We assumed,
10 every duty which we are sent here 10 fulfill,
unless We wake up to the sentiment OF the
people on this great question, and instead of i'm
posing taxes and making new appropriations,
reduce the taxes and tighten the load on the
energies Of the people,"
TINS was the pith OF the attack upon the bill.
MIR. Bragg led the defense, and the fight was
stubborn Oh both sides. The fight was resumed
at the evening session after recess OF two
hours and "a haIf, and the time from 1870 until
LAO this morning was spent in filibustering on
the part OF the friends of the BILL who foresaw its
defeat. When ali the members were worn out
an adjournment was taken.
