The Worlds Fair Bill, with
Naval Parade Amendment.

Oklahoma Territory Conference
Report Adopted by the
House.
A Bill to Forfeit All Northern Pacific
Mineral Lands in Preparation
by Senator Saundera

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The senate
began the debate on the worlds fair bill.
The only amendment reported by the
senate committee is new section pro.
viding for naval review in New York
harbor in April, 1898, and for the unveil-
ing of statue of Christopher Columbus.
MIR. Vest opposed the bill, protest
ing against the assumption that
the judgment of the house was coercive
on the senate. The fact that the city of
st. Louis had been an aspirant as site
for the worlds fair was post mortem
proceeding, and he did not intend to in
troduce ghosts to disturb the tranquility
of the city of Chicago. He had always
opposed all legislation looking to al ex-
position in 1892 and the law should not
be passed which called it into existence.
He did not believe that the people of the
of the United States favored any such
exposition. The agricultural people of
the country had neither time nor money
to give to national circus such as was
proposed.
Mr.. Stewart opposed the committee
amendment for naval review at New
York, etc.
Mr.. Chandler favored the amendment.
Mr.. Hale favored the committee
amendments and his remarks brought
Mr.. Vest to his feet with criticisms of
naval matters.
Mr.. MCPHERSON favored the bill, but
thought Sl0,000,O00 would be INSULT
cient. He favored suitable government
exhibits at Chicago as well as the naval
review.
Mr.. Blair favored the bill, but opposed
the naval display, for he thought the
United States should discourage naval
construction and war appliances.
After further discussion, Mr.. Hoar's
naval review amendment was agreed
to. The section adopted reads:
Sec. 8. That the president is hereby
empowered to order naval review in
New York harbor in April, 1898, and to
extend to foreign nations an invitation
to send ships of war to join the United
States navy in rendezvous at Hampton
Roads and proceed thence to said review.
An amendment was also adopted pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicants within
the limits of the exposition grounds.
The bill was then reported from the
committee of the whole and passed by
vote of 43 to 10. The senate then, at $40
p. m., adjourned.

ST. PAUL. April 25.-The State Farm
ers' alliance is not pleased with the re-
port recently made by the state prison
inspectors to the effect that the manu-
facture Of binding twine at the prison
was impracticable and should not be at
tempted. A conference was held this
week between members of the alliance
and the prison board in Governor Merri-
ANS Office. Mr.. Hall, of the alliance.

Lathrop, an the part of the alliance, and
Norrish and Temple, for the board, to

Patterson, N. j., and such other places
as may be deemed advisable. The men,

Patented or Not.
WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator Saun-
ders is preparing q bill, which he will
introduce at an early day, regarding the
mineral lands in the Northern Pacific
belt in Montana and Idaho. The bill
will differ widely from that proposed by
Representative Carter, and will declare
that the company shall not have title to
the mineral lands whether they have
been listed or patented or not. The
senator says that the terms of the grant
expressly provide for non mineral
lands, and that in case the lands have
been patented to the company are found
to be mineral the company has no right
to them,

burg to Harwich, was sailing on, when
the man on the lookout saw something
that he pronounced vessel bottom-up.
There was something on it that looked
like seaRull, but it was afterward found
70 be waving handkerchief In the
small boat the crew pushed out to the
wreck, and found that it was a capsized
vessel, and that three men had been dig
ging their way out through the bottom of
the ship. When the vessel capsized they
had no means of escape. The captain
took his penknife and dug away through
the planks until his knife broke Then
an old nail was found, with which they
attempted to sorape their way out of the
darkness, each one working until his
hand was wellnigh paralyzed, and he
sank back faint and sick. After long
and tedious work. the light broke
through the bottom of the
ship. A handkerchief was hoisted.
Help came. They were taken on board
the vessel and saved. Did ever men
come so near a watery grave without
dropping into it? How narrowly they
escaped-escaped only
with THE SKIN oF THEIR TEETH"
There are men who have been capsized
of evil passions, and capsized mid-ocean
and they are thousand miles away from
any shore of help. They have for years
been trying to dig their way out They
have been digging away, and digging
away, but they can never be delivered
unless they will hoist some signal OF dis
tress. However weak and feeble it may
be, Christ will see it, and bear down
upon the helpless craft, and take them
on board, and 1t will be known in earth
and in heaven chow narrowly they es-
capped" escaped as with the skin of
their teeth. -
There are others who in attempting to
come to God, must run between q great
many business perplexities. If man go
over to business ct 10 O'Clock in the
morning and comes away at CLOCK IL
the afternoon, he has some time for re-
iigion; but how shall you find time for
religious contemplation when you are
driven from sunrise TO sunset, and have
been for five years going behind in bust
ness and are frequently duuned by credi-
tors whom you cannot pay, and when,
from Monday morning until Saturday
night, you are lodging bills that you can
not meet? You walk day By day in I'M
certainties that have kept your brain on
FIRE for the past three years. Some with
less business troubles than you have gone
crazy. The clerk has heard noise in
the back counting room, and gone in,
and found the chief man of the firm q
raving maniac; or the wife has heard the
bang of q pistol in the back parlor, and
gone in, stumbling over the
