WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate met at
noon and the journal of Thursday, cover
ing the proceedings of Thursday, Friday
Saturday and Monday. was read and ap-
proved. Eustis rising made personal ex-
planation. reading from the Washington
Post the following sentence: ''Mr. Eustis
was also brought from home, although he
did not arrive until after the vote had been
TAKEN" He said the statement was wholly
inaccurate. He had been in the chamber
an hour before the first vote was taken, and
was present when that vote was taken and
did not vote. He deemed it proper to
make this explanation because of the i'm
portance of the vote of yesterday.
The credentials of Stanford and
Irby. senator's elect from California and
South Carolina for the terms beginning
March t. 1891, were presented, read and
placed on file. Those of Stanford were
criticised by Hoar as unsatisfactory in the
form the governor used in undertaking to
commission Stanford instead of simply
certifying to his election. Harris said
there was abundant time before the expira-
ton of the present term to have them put
in proper form. Among the petitions pre-
sented and referred was one by Frye, in
favor of having potatoes received by the
government and treasury certificates issued
thereon at 81 per bushel. The house bill
to prevent counterfeitillg was passed. with
amendments. The Dolph resolution in
relation to the power of the minority to
compel attendance of absentees went over.
Tho house bill for the payment Of Indian
depreciation claims was considered until
two o'clock when the apportionment bill
was taken up. the question being on Dawes
amendment to give an additional member
each to Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri and
New York. No action was taken and the
senate soon adjourned.
The speaker laid before the house mes
sage from the president yetoing the bill
authorizing Oklahoma City to issue bonds
for railway companies. The bill was passed
for railway bridge over the Missouri
river between Council Bluffs and Omaha.
The house then went into committee of the
whole ON the military academy appropria-
tion bill. In the course of general debate,
Rogers, of Arkansas, referred to the recent
Indian war as unproyoked and indefensible
and the Wounded Knee affair the most
shameful murder in the annals of our his
tory. Flower favored searching inyesti-
CATION into the causes of the war. Peel, Of
Arkansas. and Cutcheon. OF Michigan, de-
Tended the army and courted thorough In
vestigation.

Manhattan. To Be Made an Agricultural
and Mating Center.
BozEMAN, Jan. N.-[Special. The West
Gallatin Irrigation company has large
amount Of railroad lands in the Gallatin
valley, betweeu the West Gallatin river
and the Madison river, and is now con-
structing large canal, which will cover
the lands under it. some 10000 acres, above
Manhattan City. and will eventually con-
duct water to lands ut the point heretofore
known as Moreland. The company has a
body Of financially strong stockholders,
living in Montana and in New York. There
is also the Manhattan Mating company,
with a capital of 81 600 600, composed of
monied men, who mean business at the i'm
portant point on the Northern Pacific rail-
road and the West Gallatin river, to be
known hereafter in the history OF Gallatin
valley and Montana as Manhattan. This
is the point heretofore and favorably known
as Moreland. The operations of this com
pany, which has just filed its articles Of i'll
corporation, are industrial, as it has all
year-round water power, among the finest
to be found in Montana, rising from warm
springs, flowing without freezing all winter
It's operations will develop the agricultural
resources of this rich valley into proper
tions commensurate with the natural wealth
of the region and with the demand now
pressing for its products. The important
feature of this enterprise is that it is IN
dustrial and manufacturing. and conjoined
with the land and irrigation improvement
above spoken of, insures speedy and sub
stantial growth to Manhattan.

A Servants Perplexity.

There is growing impression tha, New Year calling is falling off; that the care. vexation and annoyance outweigh the pleasure and profit. But so long as the White House sets the fashion there will be hundreds who will follow. The White House is tenacious of custom and precedent, and not until we have bach elor or widowed president utterly desi- tute of female relatives will the White House fail to keep open New Years to all corners.
 But there are annoyances. At a cer- tain O street house two gentlemen called together. The servant whose duty it was to attend the door had disappeared for the time being and the cook was drafted into service. She was not up to the latest development of polite circles, but was not to be caught mapping.
 After brief barley at the door sheap- peared in the parlor with single card in her hand. Reckoning to her young mis- tress she said in stage whisper: , 'Thayre'ss two min at tn dure, but !, they've awnly wan ticket. Shall oi lit tn bokh sy thim inr-W aahiugtoa PosA

Improved Dress of Englishmen.

The universal verdict of strangers who have been regular visitors to London for number of years is that the English dress 50 per cent. better than they used to. Time honored tra- ditions of patronizing ones grand fathers tailor, or leaving ones measure with the standing order to send home so many suits and so many pairs of trousers each quarter have given place to common sense. Young dandies who would once have felt like lackeys in waistcoat not from Poole or Smallpage, now find consolation in the lower prices and not at all bad fit given by Kino of the Strand or Young of Holborn. -Clothier and Furnisher.

The Use of Hair Powder.

The rise and fall of hair powder is one of the most interesting things in the chronicles of fashion. In 1914 some ballad singers at the fair of St. Ger maine powdered their hair in order to produce an eccentric figure. This is supposed to be the origin of the GUS tom, but so slowly did it spread that century later, du ring the reign of George I, two ladies who powdered their hair were laughed at, and at the coronation of George III there were only two hair dressers in London.
 But in 1795 so universal had it be- come that the annual amount of flour used for hair powder was valued at 91, ,25O, 900, or more than $6, 250, GOO, and the number of persons wearing 1t were estimated at 2OO,0 Think of the loaves of bread this flour which went to serve caprice of fashion would have made7 After this the fashion dwindled, until in 1903 the amount of flour used for powder had sunk to the value of about $o00, o00.- Cloak and Suit Review.

Manufacture of Paper Barrels.

After three years of experimental work an English company has succeed ed in producing paper barrels which arc able to compete favorably with barrels made of wood. The paper barrels are used at present principally for the car riage of gunpowde1, mining fuses, fruit, flowers, molasses, paint, cement, matches, chemicals, dyes, asbestos, sugar, size and extract of meat. The materials used in making the barrels are waste paper, cardboard and (for the better quality) old sacks. When cardboard is used it is soaked or boiled for six hours and afterward treated in the same manner as the other raw ma terial This is carefully sorted and put into rag engine, or beater, where it is beaten and torn to pieces by Q series of knives for about an hour and half. 1t is afterward mixed with water until a pulp of uniform consistency is gained. This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried, and the barrel is finally covered with hoops. .f
 Before the tops and bottoms are put in the barrels are painted with 8 water proof composition, mado of linseed oil and resin, for ordinary purpose barrels, and with special varnish where they are used for food products. The stand ard size made is 16 1-2 inches in diam eter by 2S inches long. The price at which these barrels can be produced enables them to compete favorably with wooden barrels. A barrel costing 34 cents in wood can, when made of paper, be sold for 20 cents One great feature is that there is no waste with the process, all ''wasters" being beaten up into pulp again.
