WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE senate
took up the bill to provide a temporary
government for Oklahoma. The pend.
ing question was an amendment offered
yesterday by Plumb to comprise NC
Mans Land" within the limits of the
proposed territory. After a lengthy dis.
cussion the bill went over till to morrow
without action on the amendment.
The senate bill for the relief of certain
sufferers on public lands was passed. Il
provides for legalizing land claims filed
during a vacancy in land offices.
Blair then resumed his address on the
educational bill but the senate soon went
into executive session and then ad-
iourned.
Among the bills introduced and re-
ferred were the following:
By Misunderstanding a public
school system in Utah, also providing tor
an inspection Of meats for expectation, the
prohibition of adulterated food or drink
and authorizing the president to make a
proclamation in certain cases.
BY Pierce-To create an agricultural
commission to investigate the present de-
pressed condition of the agricultural in
terests Of the country.

The popular belief in the sanitary
efficacy of red underwear is a clinging
superstition, nothing more. Red was
in ancient times considered a potent
charm against the evil eye. At one
time in the Sixteenth century, when
the evil eye was esteemed to be espe-
cially triumphant in England, there
was a boom in red tape which it has
never since experienced. Many PEG
pie to this day believe hat a red string
worn about the neck is a sure prevent
i've of asthma, measles and mumps.
The relics of this old faith are today
best preserved in the great confidence
which obtains in the medical virtues
of red flannel, and a not so widespread
belief that the milk of a red cow is
better than that of any other COW. AS
to red flannel it has the single merit
over other colors hat the dyeing ma
terial used destroys all vestige of ami
NAL life in the wool, and that red fan
mel will not shrink as white flannel
does. -Physician in st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
quorum was counted as usual by the
speaker on the vote to approve the jour
nal. Cannon of Illinois called up the
proposed code of rules and offered a reso-
luton providing the general debate to
close at l o'clock tomorrow and the pre-
vious question shall be considered ordered
at 4 O'Clock to morrow. Vigorous pro-
tests against cutting off discussion in such
short order were made by the Democrats
but OF no effect. Cannon demanded the
previous question but the house would
not sustain the demand and many Re-
publlcans voting against it, the demand
was rejected, 81 to l49.
Cannon demanded the yeas and nays
on his demand TOR the previous question,
but there was not a sufficient number of
members arose to enforce the demands,
and amid applause from the Democratic
side the speaker so announced.
Springer offered a resolution providing
that the general debate proceed until ad-
iournment to morrow. after which the
code would be considered under the five
minute rule till 5 o'clock Friday, when
then the previous question will be con
sldered; ordered adopted without objec

In the Committees.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on elections by a party vote,
decided to recommend the house to I'M
seat Pendleton and seat Atkinson as rep
~resentative from the first West Virginia
district.
Postmaster General Wanamaker before
the house committee on postofices and
post roads to-day discussed fully the prop
osition in his annual report for the estab-
lishment by the government of a limited
postal telegraph. He submitted a plan
providing for the lease by the govern
ment for ten years of wires for carrying
on the business aud or the delivery OF
kilograms by carriers in the first delivery
following receipt of telegram. The
scheme, he insisted, is practical and free
from objections.
Nothing in the act should be so con-
trued as to prohibit any telegraph COM
pany from performing a general business
for the public as the same is now done.
The postal telegraph charges in any
one state shall state shall not exceed 10
cents for messages OF twenty words or
less, counting address and signatures, nor
over 25 cents for any distance under 800
miles. nor over so cents for any greater
distance. Rates and rules and regulations
are to be presented to the postmaster gem
eral. The bill also provides for the es-
adjustment of a system of postal tele-
graph money orders at a rate not to ex
coed double the rate now charged in ad-
dluon to the double postal telegraph
charge.
