FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.
SHARP WORD DUEL BETWEEN sENAT-
ORs HIsCOCK AND BLACKBURN.
The Big Fight Was in the House Over the
Appropriation for the Worlds Fair,
and the House Receded from the
Senate Disagreement.
SENATE.


WASHINGTON, July ga very in.
teresting dialogue took place in the
senate today between Hiscock OF New
York and Blackburn of Kentucky.
1t was about the bill introduced early
in the session by the Kentucky sem
ator, authorizing the construction of
a bridge across the Hudson river at
New York city. That bill has been
opposed at all stages by the New
York senator. When it was taken
from the calendar today by a major
ity of eight in spite of the efforts of
Hiscock, that senator made some sat-
irical remarks about the appropriate
ness of the senator from Kentucky
taking charge OF the measure affecting
interests of two great states, while
senators from New Jersey and one
from New York were absent. Senator
Black burn defended his course, assert
ing that Senator Hill and one of the
New Jersey Senators were in favor of
the bill, and intimating that if New
York needed the services of Senator
Hiscock she would have to hurry up,
because that gentleman would soon
cease to hold o seat in the Senate.
But Senator Hiscock carried his point
by holding the floor until the morning
hour expired, when the bill which he
opposed took its place again on the
calendar.
Three speeches were made today on
anti-option by Senator Coke, who as
sailed it for its unconstitutionality; by
Senator Mitchell, member of
the judiciary committee from
which the bill was reported,
who made legal argument in support
of it's constitutionality; by Palmer,
who argued against the bill as an in
vasion of the police rights of states.
On motion of Senator Collum the sem
ate bill to create a National Highway
commission and prescribe its duties,
was taken from the calendar and
passed.
Senate bill to facilitate the enfof &C.
ment of immigration and central lab
or laws of the United States was taken
up on motion of Senator Chandler,
and after explanation and some verbal
amendments, was passed.
The senate, after short executive
session, adjourned until tomorrow.

INDIANS CAN VOTE.
Good Lawyers in Oklahoma Say Indians Are
Entitled to Vote.

Entitled to Vote.
WICHITA, Kan, July 27.-Consid-
cradle comment has been caused
throughout Oklahoma by legal opin-
ions rendered by Judge John Dills
and other prominent lawyers of the
Indian Territory that Indians will be
eutitled to vote at the coming election.
They say that the law provides that
Indians taking lands in severalty
have the same franchises as any citi-
zen, and if this opinion is good law
candidates will have 5000 Indians to
buttonhole. If the Indians vote it is
liable to make quite difference in
the congressional race.

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON July 27.--The house
today proceeded to the consideration
of the two Worlds Fair amendments
to the sundry civil appropriation bill.
Mr.. Caruth of Kentucky, made a
characteristic humorous speech in fa-
vor of appropriations.
Mr.. Bowers of California, said that
nine-tenths of the people of California
were in favor of the Worlds Fair and
in favor of generous appropriation.
Mr.. Houck of Ohio, quoted from the
that it was incumbent on congress to
make an appropriation for the fair.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois, said
all of the gentlemen who had
argued against the proposition
had had pleasant words FIR Chicago.
They spoke in praise of the interna-
tional exposition yet everyone at
tempted to assassinate the National
character of the enterprise and reduce
it to municipal affair. Congress
ought not now refuse to appropriate
money.
Mr.. McMullin of Tennessee, spoke
in opposition to the appropriation,
basing his opposition on the condition
of the treasury The debate then
closed. Minor senate amendments
were disposed of without friction.
Then came the amendment appropri-
ating $5,000,000 and with it came
fight. There was an amendment
pending to it offered by Mr.. Bank
head of Alabama, striking out the
word "m,llion" thus leaving the APP
preparation at S.. This was lost by
vote of yeas II, nays al.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana then moved
that the house insist on disagreement
to the senate amendment pending
which Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania
moved that the house recede from the
disagreement, and on this motion
the yeas and nays were ordered. A
vote was taken on Bingham's motion.
AS the call progressed there was every
symptom of interest manifested by
members. Many kept tally and the
areas in front of the speakers desk
were crowded with members discuss
ing it's prospects and watching every
response with eager interest. When
the clerk finished calling the roll it
was noised around that the motion
had secured majority of nearly 90.
Mr.. Holman Immediately changed his
vote from the negative to the affirma-
tive in order to be entitled to move a
The speaker finally
declared the motion carried by vote
of yeas III, nays los.
Mr.. Holman was promptly on his
feet with motion to reconsider, and
Mr.. Bingham promptly moved to lay
the motion on the table. Then the
began in earnest. Mr..
Outh waite of Ohio moved to adjourn
and pending that moved that when
the house adjourned it be to meet Fri
day next. This was supplemented by
Bailey ofTeXas with a motion for adj
iournment until Saturday. Seventy
seven opponents of the Worlds Fair
refrained from voting and

In popular usage the word passion" is
almost n synonym for love, and we hear OF
.'poets of passion" ~votaries of Eros or An
teros, as the case may be, says d writer in
the Century. Love has u fair claim to the
title of the master passion, despite the ar
guments made In behalf of friendship and
ambition respectively. and whether suprem-
acy over human conduct, or it's service to
the artistic imagination, be the less. Al
most every narrative, poem, novel or
drama, whatsoever other threads its coil
may carry, seems to have love for a central
etrand. Love has the heart of youth in it.
Love, we know, has brought about historic
wars and treaties, has founded dynasties.

Wordsworth speaks of Thoughts that do
often lie too deep for tears" while Mill says
that the poetry of a poet is feeling itself,
/ using thought only as II means of express

imagination to supply CONCEPTIONS for lts

imagining situations and experiences, be-
comus excited through dwelling on them.
But whether passion or imagination be first
aroused, they speed together like the wind

The Arab seemed quite Indifferent to the

dispatched a servant to the city to secure
mules for the entire party. AS it is rather
dangerous to be under obligations to an
Arab, Paul insisted upon paying for his
own mule. They rode away together as the
moon was setting beyond the distant hills.
The mule drivers moved along like phan-
toms through the deepening shadows.
Sometimes they could hear the river omin-
ously tapping its banks upon their left, and
the feet Of the mules made music in the
sand as they alided stealthily onward.
They we're passing through the central
mass of ruins when the mule drivers began
a cultural chant, now and then u~ttering a
wild c,y. and the ruins sent back a hideous
groan in echo. Suddenly a shrill whistle
sounded, not far in advance. The mule
teers at once ceased their singing.
