Special Dispatch to The Appeal
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 22.-Mr. Randall
has conquered, and the Ways and Means
Committee is almost ready to hang crepe
on its doorknob. This afternoon the House
adopted Mr. Randall's resolution to change
~tfc rules so that the Cowles tobacco bill
could be Immediately considered, and set
Monday as the day on which the debate
should be held and o'clock as the hour
at which the vote should be taken. This
was not done without protest on the part
OF Mr.. Mills and his followers, but they
did not attempt to filibuster against It,.
That would have certainly prevented its
adoption, hut il would have been an un-
popular proceeding at this stage of the ses-
sion. Being defeated. Mr.. Mills proposes
10 have conference with Mr.. Ran
dali between now and Monday, presume
bly, for the purpose of ehecting q
compromise by means OF which certain
portions Of the Mills bill may be adopted
as amendments 20 the COwles bill and be.
come laws with it. 1t is not expected,

accomplish much in this direction. Mr..
Randall is not the man to yield an inch
when he is in full control, rs he is at the
present moment lie has a good mem
ory, too, and 1t is not likely that he has
forgotten that little occurrence during the
debate last spring when Mr. Mills, then
in the fullness Of power, objected to the
extension Of Mr Randalrs time, that h,
might finish his speech The tables are
completely turned, aud Mr.. Randall will
not accept anything as an ancnimen
against which he has the least objection
lie may consent TO adding the clause pro
v.ding Tor the Tectiication OF the wOolcl
and worstcd classification and on'
o. two other little things whicl
are maniiesily unjust in the present Law
but which do not affect the principles o
protection in the least; but he will 90 n

PARIS, Oct. One would naturally SUD-
pose that Queen Victoria would like the ira
ditional roast beef of old England" better
than anything, but she prefers Scotch dishes,
and every morning takes her oatmeal por-
ridge, and frequently has soup made from
oatmeal with her dinners. Her favorite bread
consists of hot buttered oatmeal scenes, and
round cakes made of half oatmeal and half
-four, baked quite hard, are served with every
meal She is very fond of raw ham sliced
quite thin and eaten with picked capers for
luncheon. This particular kind of ham is
brought from Granada or Treveles She
drinks beer with her luncheon and frequent
ly takes nothing else with her dinner, and
every night on retiring takes glass Of hot
Scotch whiskey punch,
The queen of Sweden changes this order
and eats beefsteak broiled and very rare with
every meaI no matter what else is there She
also is fo.S OF raw salmon, smoked and pre-
served after the manner of her country, and
also sort of fritters made of beans boiled to
pulp and eggs fried in oil
At the court of Italy everything is served
on golden dishes. Maccaroni is always pres
ent, dressed Ill some one of the different man
ners which are as distinctive as the prov

called fritto, made Of the hearts of arti-
chokes and the hearts and combs of ROSTERS
Isabella, ex-queen of Spain, likes the Cas-
titan cocido, with all its accessories, best,
and eats rice and milk daily, which may ac-
count for her elephantine proportions.
The queen regent of Spain likes the cookery
of her native country best But she eats a
good deal of cold roast meat, with currant
jelly and other sweetmeats She used To have
a baker from Vienna who made those de-
hcious little kaizer zimnlels that are so rarely
found good except in Vienna.
Bismarck often makes his lunch Off Bologna
sausages and black bread, washed down with
beer, just like any other I>gtchman, and he
likes best to drink out OF quart mug Of
wood lined with thick coating q rosin
The unfortunate Elizabeth of Austria likes
beefsteak cut in small pieces and hroiled and
served on hot plates directly from the grid
iron. These she eats with zinmels. and drinks
coffee. small glass of Hungarian wine or
cup OF chocolate. She is a very small eater.
