CONGRESSMAN IN CHICAGO.
The National Lawmakers Have q
Quiet Day of 1t.

SuicC LAY Oh LII.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Sunday rest was
thoroughly enjoyed today by the visit
ing congressman and newspaper
men. After the long ride and the
excitement of their first evening in
the city they were quite ready
to settle down to a day of decorous
quiet, and in general the guests of the
city may be said to have passed piousIy
uneventful time. They were practically
left to their own devices, and availed
themselves of such events on the pro-
gramme of entertainment as suited their
fancy. T, flowing is the programme:
Church i'll the morning. drive through
the city; reception at the lroquois club,
the Union League club, the Press club
and the Herald building; visit to the
worlds fair headquarters; services at
the Armour mission. The le-
CATION members were given a
breakfast at the Chicago club,
and were entertained in the evening
the hotels good deal of political talk
was INDUCED in. Senator Palmer and
Congressman Springer were kept busy
all day shaking hands with friends from
the city and state. They all tried
to make the senator believe he
would be the next president,
though he still remains some
what incredulous. Jerry Simpson
talked about unearned increments and
other cheerful subjects with members
OF the single tax club, and took trip
to the worlds fair grounds in company
with Congressman Livingstone, who
left for st. Louis tonight. All the
newspaper men and good many Of
the lawmakers attended the Press club
reception. Congressman O'Neill told
how much st. Louis would do for the
fair, and Senator PETER expressed the
opinion that Chicago would be the main
exhibit at the fair. Other congressman
and several of the newspaper men made
entertaining speeches.

THEY'RE All for Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-The Repub-
lican primaries for the selection of dele
gates to the district and state conven-
tons, which will choose delegates
were hEld throughout the state
yesterday and last night, and In every
district majority of Harrison delegates
were chosen. In but two counties was
there any opposition to the adminiktra-
ton. The attendance at all the conven-
tons was small, and in this city the
want of interest was so marked that in
many cases only the delegates selected
by the machine were present at the con-
yentionS,

AN ABSURD RU- OR.
Prominent R--.uoIicans Are Not
to Confer on Silver


to Confer ON Silver.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - Secretary
Foster was asked tonight if he thought
there was any truth in the report that
meeting to be held at his residence
Monday morning between him, Senator
Teller, Senator Aldrich and other prom
inent public men, representing both
sides of the silver question, for the pur-
pose OF effecting compromise by which
the administration will lend its efforts
to the calling of an international none
tary conference, if Republican senators
who favor free coinage will agree to
prevent the passage of free coinage
bill this session of congress. The sec
rotary replied that there was nothing IN
the report, and told the reporter he
could deny 1t on his (the Secretary'S) au-
thority. Senators Teller and Aldrich
are both out of the city, and neither of
them are expected to return tomorrow.
This the secretary referred to as evil
dence that there can be no meeting be-
tween himself and the senators named
for tomorrow, as he himself expects to
leave the city in the afternoon for New
York, EN- route to Europe.

longing to the Order of Railway Tele-

Can't Fool Detroit Women.

He tried the front door and couldn't get in; then he tried the side door with the same success, and finally he proceeded around to the kitchen. There he knocked timidly and the lady of the house met him.
 "What do you wantf" she asked inhos- pitably.
 "Nothing, madam" he replied with a gallant smile.
 "Well, you've come to the right place to get it, she asserted.
 He looked around about him for half a minute and at her.
 You will excuse me, madam, am sure," he said politely. eff I am apparently rude, but before came in here I looked at this handsome house for at least ten min utes, and noted carefully its air of com fort, its genial homelikeness, it's hospitable look, its thrifty and well fed appearance, and if should differ from you on that last statement of yours, believe me do so hon estly, and as a compliment, not as & con tradiction."

Rival Jokers.

The jealousy which almost always ex- ists between different arms of the military service used to be illustrated by the dia- logues which took place between cavalry. men and infantrymen during the civil war. It was favorite and brutal joke on tho part of tho cavalry men, who affected to despise the foot soldiers, to shout to some soldiers as the cavalry were passing the infantry on the march:
 "Are you tired of walkingp
 Whereupon, if the infantryman, suppos- ing that he was going to get lift, re- sponded "Yesr' the cavalryman would say, "Well, try running awhilep'
 The infantrymen, for their part, ridi- culed the cavalrymen unmercifully when they were in camp, where the cavalrymen were compelled to spend much of their time in acting as body servants to their horses.
 A cavalryman was one day engaged in laboriously cleaning down" his rather rawboned steed. An infantryman saun- tered up, and with his hands behind his back leisurely inspected the operation.
 "Hullo, John" said the cavalryman. 'Think you'd like to be in the cavalryf"
 "Oh, yes," said the infantryman, "but only as horsep'-Youth's Companion.

Hstslle's Father Thought He Would Teach

 Estelle's young man rides a bicycle, and Estelle had long wanted her pa to buy her 6 wheel, too in order that she might keep the young man company on his lonely rides. Finally pa was wearied out by q persistency in arts that all loving daugh- ters will understand, and Estelle was pro- vided with a costly nickeled wheel, which, after the usual number of bumps and bruises, she felt competent to ride.
 One evening not long afterward pa came home about midnight and saw the wheel leaned against the banking near the front piazza. where the dews of evening had been gathering upon its spokes.
 "Is that the way Estelle takes care of her expensive presentsf" he growled to him. self in disgust. "I'll teach her a lesson,n n he added with grim determination, and 20 he trundled the wheel off quietly and locked it up in the carriage house before he went to bed.
 young man emerged upon the piazza and looked for his wheel the wheel was gone and Estelle's young man had to walk home -a distance of about four miles.
 The next morning at the breakfast table Estelle remarked: Wasn't it too bad, papa George left his bicycle at the door last night and somebody must have stolen it for when he came to go home about 1t o'clock the wheel was gone"
 And great light dawned suddenly upon Estelle's pa as he exclaimed: Great Scott was that Georges bicyclei I thought il was yours. and to teach you to be more careful of it locked it up in the carriage house at midnight before l went to bed. -Somerville Journal

Uncle Sam's Officials Have Evidently .
 Large Contract on Hand.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-Commencing on Sept. l, every Chinaman in this country except the retinue of the diplomatic corps and a few recognized merchants, is required to make an application for a residence cers tificate to the nearest internal revenue col. lector, describing himself, his age and occu. patton, and proving his identity by present. ing and filing three proof sheet photographs of his face.
 His statement of facts are to be support cd by the affidavits of two creditable wit nesses, and upon approval of this applica- tion the collector is authorized to issue him certificate entitling him to continue to re. side in this country. Any Chinaman who fails to provide himself with such a certih- cate of residence between now and May s next is liable to deportation back to China.
 There are 107, 900 Chinese in the United States. Over 70, 900 of these are in Califor- mia and 9 900 in Oregon, and there the brunt of the enforcement of the exclusion act will fall. But there are nearly 5000 in New York, over 100 in Massachusetts, besides TOO in Chicago and nearly 500 in St Louis.
 The obligations of the law are discretion ary with the Chinese. If they don't choose to get themselves photographed, and to make their applications within the time prescribed, the revenue officials have no power to compel them.
 The only penalty is deportation, which falls under the domain of the attorney gen. eral and the secretary of the treasury. The anticipations of difficulty entertained by the internal revenue officials seem to be borne out by the fact that of the S100, 900 appropriated in the sundry civil bill to carry out the law, only $50, 900 has been allotted by the secretary of the treasury to the in- ternal revenue buseau to provide the neces- sary deputies to execute the law, while s70, 900 has been retained by the treasury de- partment and the department of justice to meet the cost of deporting the recalcitrants.

The press work is admirable. MT Roraback shows himself gifted writer. His language is clear and forci- ble; he entertains and instructs but never wearies the reader. We have read this little book through with much interest. Particular attention Is given to the history of the town. The beauty of the scenery of the surrounding coun- try and the attractive resorts are de- scribed. Much space is devoted to all the various industries of the place, es- pecially the manufacture of lime and and pig iron. The churches are not forgotten and the history of each is briefly sketched The societies and or ganizations are also mentioned. The work is illustrated. We bespeak cor dial welcome for this little book. Ii deserves large sale.

THURSDAY, AUGUST a5, 1892.
P. R. & ". E. AFFAIRS.

The situation is virtually unchanged on the P. R. & N. E. railroad. The old trackmen have neither accepted the re- duction in wages nor returned to work. The company has succeeded in secur- ing good many Italians to work on the track but it is said that they will quit work next pay day unless they are paid $1.5O per day. The public fail to sec the economy of employing twelve Italians at $1.25 per day in place of six skilled traokmen at 81 50 per day.
 An experienced railroad man says 1t would be as we'll to employ deaf and dumb men from the asylum in Hart ford as to employ Italians recently land cd at Castle Garden. You cannot talk to either and can only communicate with them by signs. On Wednesday of last week, one of the Italians at Win sted was sent track walking on the PR. & N. B. road with orders to go to the first station (New Hartford.) When the fellow arrived at the junction of the Naugatuck and P. R. & N. E. road he made guess work and reported from Burrville on the Naugatuck road.
