THROUGH MILE Laos LAND.
Right of Way Granted to a Rail-
road COMPANY.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE house
Today adopted the conference report on
the bill granting the right of way across
the Mile Laos Indian reservation to the
Little Falls, Mile Laos & Lake Super
iOr Railroad company. The house then
went to the private calendar, and MIR.
McKinear, of California, called up the
private bill for the relief of Charles
Murphy, of California. The previous
question was ordered, ia to 81, and
after discussion the bill was passed, 100
to 60. Mr.. Conger. of Iowa, presented
the conference report on the silver
bill. Mr.. Bland raised the ques-
ton of consideration, on which the
vote was 1902 to la. This was a strict
party vote except that Mr.. Rogers, OF
Arkansas, voted in the affirmative so
that he might move reconsideration.
This motion was made useless by the
discovery that no quorum was present.
A call of the house was then ordered
and 1914 members (more than quOrum)
responded. On suggestion of Mr..
BlOunt, of Georgia, it was agreed to de-
bate the conference report for four
hours tomorrow, the previous question
to be considered as ordered at the end
of that time. At 1925 the house took a
recess until o'clock, the evening ses-
sion to be devoted to private pension
bills. The house met at o'clock, and
on the first pension bill that was called
up Mr.. EnlOe, of Tennessee, made the
point of no quorum and the house adj

THE HEARTY LAUGH.
The Bible Contains No Command
That Man Shall Laugh.

The Bible Contains No Command
That Man Shall Laugh.
Gentleman's Magazine.
The Bible contains no cheerful ex-
hortation to laughter. For the most
part. indeed. it is referred to in the
metaphorical sense of "scorning," as
when it is written of Leviathan that
che laugheth at the shaking of spear"
But there are passages also where the
ordinary meaning is evidently intended,
and in almost every one of these 1t is
eyed askance. Solomon is the
great authority on the subject.
Let him speak for himself. II
said of laughter. it is mad;
and of mirth, what dOeth it?" ''Even
in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and
the end of that mirth is heaviness."
Again, IA fool lifteth up his voice with
laughter, but a wise man doth scarce
smile little" Not very encouraging,
truly, to those of hilarious proclivities.
1t may he legitimate enough to compare
the giggle of fool to 1.-THE cracking OF
thorns under pot" but it seems hard
that there should be no word of approval
for the milder merriment of the few
who may be supposed not to belong to
fooldom. Yes, by the way, there is one,
and only one: ga time to faugh," but
we may search the Scriptures from
Genesis to the Apocalypse without de-
tecting any intimation as to when that
time occurs. Probably Solomon meant
the brief period of childhood, when
ignorance is bliss and we are merry
without knowing or caring to know
why. He could not consistently recon-
mend any such frivolity to those of a
larger growth after having so bitterly
commented on the practice in previous
chapters.
Unjust have been constant study of
the preachers gloomy utteranceS
which made laughter SO unpopular
among the monks of the desert and
some of the early fathers. st. Basil, for
instance, will have nothing to do with
it. No person, he says, of we'll ordered
mind, can ever bring himself to in
dulge in a good laugh, or, in the quaint
patristic language, sin immanes ca
chinnos prorumpere ct corpore sussul-
tare." A little further on. thinking that
perhaps ne has not spoken with deci
sion enough, he takes occasion to
improve the text, ''Woe unto you
that laugh now!" 1t is perfectly plain
he adds, that there is no room whatever
for laughter in the life of the faithful
c"nullum omnino locum dari fideli, in
vuo ridere debeat"). Plato, good
many centuries earlier. in constructing
his ideal state, expressly warned his
readers that laughter-lOving persons
were ineligible as guardians. He even
forbade that worthy men should be rep
resented, on the stage or elsewhere, as
overcome by the sense of the ridiculous.
He does not condemn laughter in itself.
however this was reserved for other and
less genial systems of philosophy.

Britain and Ireland, in such an event,
and the ruler of the mighty and far ex-
tending British empire, would be Al
bert Edward, Prince OF Wales, who
would probably assume the title of Ed
ward VII.
The Prince of Wales has already
passed middle age. Born in 1871, he
will next November complete his forty
ninth year. He was married in 1868 to
he Princes Alexandra, of Denmark, by
whom he has had six children, of whom
five are living. OF these children, the
ldest is Prince Albert Victor, who is
low in his twenty-seventh year.
The heif'to the throne has been for
many years even more conspicuous in
the public eye than has his mother, the
queen. Her long seclusion after the
death of her husband, Prince Albert.
rendered it necessary that the Prince OF
Wales, aided by his wife, should per-
form some of the royal duties-especially
those of a social kind-usually incum-
bent on the sovereign.
In his younger days the Prince of
Wales was SAID to have contracted wild
and dissolute habits. This may have
been exaggerated, as princes are almost
always objects of suspicion and scandal,
whether justly so or not; but 1T is GER
tain that for long time the prince was
unpopular in his own country.
In recent years, however, the feeling
toward him has greatly changed. He
has established SO good a reputation
that unfavorable reports as to his per-
sonal conduct have pretty much ceased
to find circulation. If he had the vices
with which he was charged, he seems
to have abandoned them.
He has become widely known as a
forcible speaker on public occasions.
and has won the respect and liking of
Englishmen for the zeal and conStancy
with which he has fulfilled his public
duties. He has made himself part of
the life of the nation over which he is
one day to reign, if he lives, and while
he has followed the tradition that the
heir to the throne should not take sides
in politics, has interested himself in
many of the public movements OF the
day.
Should he succeed to the throne,
therefore, his accession would no doubt
be cordially greeted by his subjects,
who would look forward to wise and
enlightened reign. His son. and in the
event of his death the successor to the
throne. is young man of whose charac-
ter little is known, but who is thought
to be inferior to bis father in ability and
accomplishments.

not heavy. September, which opened
at 901ac, hung between 90Ic and

AS the session advanced it became
known that Partridge, Linn, and sew

Northwest was decidedly bearish.
Heavy rains prevailed yesterday after
noon in the Jim river valley and the
weather was cooler there. Exports from
the three leading Atlantic ports were
10000 bu wheat and $4,000 bbls and

number of Paris cables came in which
quoted the market for wheat and flour
there as excited and higher. This news
served to cause reaction to $500 for

were soon off to SsHc again. Corn was
also strong at the opening, but the mar

There was sharp advance in oats in

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 11.-Carry-
Ing out The instructions of the RepuD-
lican senatorial caucus held last night,
Chairman Edmunds has appointed Sen
ator Hoars, Spooner, Frye and Moody,
together with Senators Aldrich, Sher-
man and Ingalls, the Republican mem
beers of the rules committed. to report as
a caucus committee upon the question
of changing the rules of the senate so
as to provide for closure of debate at
the will of the majority and to aScer-
tain and report how that result can be
attained ii deemed necessary to the con-
duct of business.
Speculation OH the possible action of
the caucus to be held tomorrow night
or Monday, was very vigorous to-day.
Republican senators are divided in their
opinions. Some of them do not believe
that the change in the rules which, it is
conceded, is a necessary preliminary to
the passage of the election bill,
will be agreed to in the caucus.
The maiority$of the senators present
at the caucus of last night favor
such a change, and great many
Republican senators were very positive
to-day in the expression of belief that
the federal election bill will be passed.
The Democratic members of the senate
express the confident belief that the bill
will not be taken up. In this vague
condition the subject must remain
until another caucus is held.

The English Succession.

Youths Companion.
There have been repeated reports in
recent weeks of the serious illness of
Queen Victoria. 1t is very likely that
these reports are not true. Not seldom
the Geographic news we get from
Europe is untrustworthy.
Accounts are often given of events
which could not have happened. For
instance, conversations are given be-
tween two personages Of high position,
as recently that between the German
emperor and Prince Bismarck, which
could not have been overheard by a
newspaper correspondent, or probably
by any one else, and so are only guess
work.
Tee reader of foreign news, there
fore, should not be too hasty in believ-
ing it. A great deal comes over the
cable wires, especially scandals relat-
ing to royal people, which cannot be
credited.
But the reports about Queen Vic
toria's health recall the fact that she
has arrived at old age. She completed
her seventy-frst year on the Oath OF
May, and her reign on the Goth of the
present mouth, will have extended over
the almost unprecedented period OF fifty
three years. 1t would not, then, be sur
prising to hear at any time that the
Queen had passed from life.

A Gigantic Octopus.

Olympia (Wash.) Tribune.
The officers and crews of the steam
ers plying between Tacoma and Olym-
pia are OH the lookout for an immense
octopus or devil fish, which is reported
to exist in the waters between the
mouth of Nesqually river and Hender-
sons inlet. The monster has been seen
at various times for week past. The
men on the steamers are very backward
in speaking Of it. fearing that others
will attempt to capture the prize. When
last seen it was lying OIL the water Wig
orously splashing one of its thousand
tails, and it looked to weigh at least 500
pounds. 1t measures from tip to tip, as
nearly as can be estimated, fully fifty
feet. Such fish is unusual in these
waters. Its peculiarly is sort of deaf
ening roar which it makes in quick sue
ceSSion.

Simple Rules Against Two or the

kind.
Harper's Young People.
There need be no trouble in Identify
ing the poison ivy in any of its forms.
Tue hairy trunk will often serve US, but
there are two other features which are
of much more value. First let us re-
member that its leaves are always
grouped In threes whatever the outlines
of their more or less wavy margins. In
some sections the plant is always called
the "three-leaved IVY"
Four things need be committed to
memory to insure safety against our
pOison-sumachS:
First-The three-leaved ivy is dan
gerous.
Second-The five-leaved is harmless.
Third-rhe poison-sumachs have
white berries.
Fourth-No red-berried sumach is
poisonous.
Both the poison ivy and the poison
sumach, though unlike in appearance
of foliage, have similar white berries
growing in small slender clusters from
the axis of the leaves. In other sumachs
the berries are red and in close buncheSat
the ends of the branches, and far from
being dangerous, yield frOsty-looking
acid which is most agreeable to the
taste, and wholesome withal. With
these simple precepts fixed in the mind,
no one need fear the dangers of the

PATENTS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Pan-American Plans for Their
Protection.

Pan-American Plans for Their
Protection.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 1.-THE
president to-day transmitted to COLI
gress two communications from the
secretary of state, enclosing in one the
report of the action of the international
American conference concerning the
protection of patents, trade marks and
copyrights in commerce between the
American republics. and IN the other
the action OF the same body for the bet
ter protection of public health against
contagious diseases. The international
American conference recommends the
acceptance and enforcement by them OF
the regulations of the Rio de
Janeiro convention, or those adopted
at Lima, as the best systems
that have yet been devised.
Upon the subject of international pat
entS and trade marks the secretary, in
transmitting the conclusions of the con-
ference, says: "The South American
congress, which met at MontevideO i'll
August, 1883, adopted three treaties for
the protection of patents. trade marks
and copyrights, which have already
been ratified by the Argentine Repub-
lie, Bolivia, Brazil, Chill, Colombia,
Ecuador. Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and
VeneZuela-all the nations of the South
ern cOntinent-and the recent confer
ence recommends their ratification by
the several governments of Central and
North America.
