alton az profit and somebody would
have ta make deficiency.
Representative Grain wished to know
why If the bill was impracIicable, DR. {.
Green and the president OF the postal
telegraph company both appeared here
to contend agalnst It.
DR.. Green replied il was 8 serious maa-
ter for them. They did not Wish to be
placed In competition with the United
States treasury. The government could
afford a loss.
Mr.. Crain-"But the bill does not
provide for that.
DR.. Green-''It will have to provide
for that. You will be asked for an ap-
preparation within year. -
Mr.. Grain remarked that If no COM
pany would contract with the govern
ment the bill would do them no harm.
The chairman at this point interviewed
to say that DR.. Green did not appear at
his own instance, but at the request of
The committee. But the doctor, contin-
uing his reply to Mr.. Grain . query
said: "Why ID il that the British gov
eminent, having mad it's telegraph system
for twelve or Fifteen years, are paying
the operators only half our sal
aries with a system placed IN an
open country Ia small area thickly pop
ulated and covering about one-quarter
OF the cost OK our system to maintain?
Why is il that the government had re-
sisted the attempt TO lower the shilling
rate, aud why had the postmaster-gpn-
eral, after resisting the attempt for q
year and half, finally agreed TO only q
slight reduction7 1t was because the re-
ceipts OF the system lacked Sl00, 900 of
paying the interest on the cost of the
plant at 3 per cent. -
Mr.. Anderson, referring to the post
master-general' bill, said it did not
contemplate the payment of large sal
aries to officials.
DR.. Green dryly responded that If he
wanted 10 do telegraph business he would
have to pay somebody to look after it,
and pay them we'll, too After all, what
mattered it if a salary Of $50 900 per an
mum amounted to a charge of about one
tenth of cent per message on the West
ern Union 8 business? If the postmaster
generals rates were adopted by the
Western Union it's receipts would fall just

CONGRESSIONAL
Senator B'aIr Complains Because His SPEECHES
Are Not sent Over the Country.



WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-After a num-
| Der OF petitions had been presented, q
note from Vice President Morton was re-
ceived, which stated that he was about
to leave Washington for an absence of
two weeks. MIR. Ingalls, was therefore
elected vice-president pro tenn, and
immediately took the oath.
Mr.. Blair made al attack on the AS
sociated Press for not reporting more
fully his speeches.
Mr.. Eawley defended the Associated
Press and stated that that organization
had done its whole duty, and intImated
that il was the fault OF the senator's
speeches that he was not reported more
fully.
Mr.. Blair replied quite entertainingly.
The matter was then dropped.
Mr.. Sherman gave notice that as soon
us the educational bill was out of the
way he would ask the senate to take up
tbs bill 10 punish trusts and combina-
tons and dispose of 1t as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration OF the bill reported from the
committee on pensions on January 10
granting pensions to ex-soldiers aud
sailors who are inrapacitRted for the per-
formance OF manual labor and providing
for pensions TO dependent relatives of de-
ceased soldiers and sailors. Mr.. Davis,
chairman Of the committee on pensions,
addressed the senate in explanation of the
bill. The annual expense for invalid pen
sions under the pending bill he estimated
at Sl4, 400 900; for Increases of existing
pen ions. SIS, sos 900; for widows of uu-
pen stone soldiers dying annually,
81 ,1Zo 200; for widows of pensioners
dying al nut iy, 1854 600; for widows
whose claims are now pending or have
beer rejected, $40 500 200; for children
or widows, ST., 632 coo; for children under
pending bills, S576 600. Total, $780,
sos 900.
Mr.. Mcpherson asked whether the re-
port of the COMMITTEES on pensions was
unanimous.
Mr.. Davis replied in the affirmative.
Mr.. Mcpherson remarked that the es-
innate Of the cost of the bill just given
by Mr.. DAVIS was Gas well as he remem-
bered), far short of the estimate given
IN previous congresses. He would like to
vote for q proper dependent pension bill,
one that would reach the moat extreme
cases.
Mr.. Davis said that Mr.. Mcpherson
was mistaken-that ths estimate which
he was thinking of was evidently that as
10 the service pension bill. The bill
went over without action.
On motion of Mr.. Teller the house bill
for the al pointment of two persons 10
represent the United States IN the inter-
national conference at Madrid In refer
encs to industrial property was passed.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned till Monday.

MES. Originally they were sources OF
great revenue, but now railroad business
Was increased TO such an extent that it
was doubtful if the telegraph company
which handled their business free did not
lose 10y the agreement.
The chairman asked how much Of their
business the Western Union did in the
free delivery cities.
DR.. Green replied that about 80 per
cent. would cover it, The business was
more largely speculative than the
remainder of their business. as 1t would
include the great money centers of the
country.
The chairman said that IL was pro-
posed to pay the operators out of the 2
cent charge for the postage stamp. He
would like 10 know what the operating
cost was.
DR.. Green replied that Gloss estimate
placed II at s cents per message. In
cases of long distance messages IL ran up
to cents. the average com pensatsou of

rates suggested bv the postmAster-gen-

NimbIe Chinese Reporters.

The Chinese language as the natives
use it has great force, fluency, and di-
rection. It is practical as the nation is
practical, and those who use it are too
independent to abandon the speech and
writing handed down to them through
so long line of ancestors. 1t will be
made the medium of instruction in
science and is very suitable for becom-
ing so. They have contractions for all
their characters which foreign students
do not trouble themselves to learn. but
the use of which in fact qualities the
Chinese to become shorthand reporters
of speeches in their own language.
They do not practice speech-making,
but if they did and, if the native news
papers formed a staff of shorthand re-
porters they would not need to learn
any foreign system. They can report
quite fast enough themselves with a
little practice, and they write the con-
fractions with wonderful quickness.
Their hand muscles are pliable, their
fingers small. and the writing brush
they employ is an instrument superior
in speed to the steel pen or the quill.
The scribes at an imperial audience
probably write all or nearly all that is
said. Scribes who are paid by the
piece get through a large amount of
copying in short time. Yet let no
one expect a teacher who is paid by
the month to write fast He has every
reason to be slow. But copyists, paid
so much for a thousand characters, try
naturally to transcribe as many thous-
ands in u week as they can. The rapid
work of such copyists, especially if they
are allowed to use contractions, favors
the conclusion that by using Chinese
characters specialists could easily write
all that a good speaker says. AS to
whether they could compete with the
quickest European stenographers may
perhaps soon be brought to trial in
Japan, where many thousands are now
learning to write in the Roman char
acter. The new school will soon pro-
coed to add shorthand to Romaniza-
ton, and then it will soon be decided
which is the best adapted for swift and
accurate reporting. NORTH China Her.

To Remove Disfiguring Marks.

The fashionable woman finds it a
little difficult at this time of the year
to keep clean, and it is by no means as
inexpensive an operation as it is usual
" supposed. She walks out in her blue
coat with its heavy trimming of black
fur and comes home with a broad black
band around her throat that soap and
water will not remove even If prayer
accompanies it. The finer your skin
the more difficult is this mark to get off,
and it is usually best done as they re-
commend at the Turkish bath-by the
uss of lemon; just halve it and rub
the raw part around your throat exact
ly as if it were cake of soap. You
are determined not to get rheumatism,
and so you wear black silk underwear.
No matter how expensive it is, no mat
ter how many times it has been wash
ed, wherever your stays or a belt band
press against it you are marked-not
necessarily for life, but until you get
somebody to scrub you off with small
brush. Half the women go to the
Russian bath to get these marks off
them, because the gentle vapor and the
hard rubbing will soon cause them to
disappear. Half the women in New
York would ask if they dropped dead
on the street that their clothes might
not be taken off them, and the reason
can be understood. N 7. Sun.
