power which has been suggested to Con-
gress by the American Minister to Mexico,
and also by Mr.. Curtis, the gentleman con-
nected with the organization of the Bureau
OF American Republics The Committee on
Foreign Relations thought it generous
and proper thing to do for friendly ma
tion.
Mr., Cockrell expressed his hearty approv-
al OF the joint resolution, and 1t was there
upon passed.
Mr.. Sherman also reported back adversely
the resolution offered by Mr.. Quay, request
ing the Committee on Foreign Relations to
inquire as to the practicability of the acqul.,
sition of certain portions of the Republic OF
Mexico, and it was Indefinitely postponed.
Popular Elections for Senators.
Mr.. Palmer gave notice that he would ad-
dress the Senate tomorrow on his proposed
constitutional amendment to have Senators
elected by The people, and Mr.. PETER gave
Senate to suspend its business in order to
have special services In memory of the late
Senator Plumb.
Mr.. Morrill,, from the Finance Commit
tee, reported bill directing the Secretary
of the Treasury to admit free of duty the
wreckage from the ships Trenton and Van
dala, presented by the United States Gov
ernment to the King of Samoa, and to re-
fund the sum of s., 12S, being the amount OF
duties paid thereon to the Collector at San
Francisco, and it was passed.
Bills on the calendar were then taken up
and acted upon as follows: Appropriating
500. 600 for public building at Boise City,
Idaho; recommitted. Increasing the limit
81, 400, 600; passed For a public building
at Hpl lnCreaS-
ing to $500, 600 the appropriation for pub
lie building at Omaha; passed. For pay
ment to William E. Wheaton, ex-Register,
and Charles H. Chamberlain, eX- Receiver, OF
the Land Office at San Francisco, 81, 9OO-a
portion of the amount deposited by them in
the Treasury as fees for testimony taken BY
clerks paid by themselves; passed.
Idaho's Contested Seat.
The Idaho contested election case was
then taken up, and Mr.. Gray addressed the
Senate in support of the views of the
minority of the Committee on Elections
that Mr. Claggett. not Mr.. Dubois, is en-
titled to the seat. Mr.. Gray's argument
was replied to and the title of Mr.. Dubois
to the seat was defended by Mr.. Chandler,
a member of the Committee on Elections,
and by Mr. Palmer, the argument turning
on the period at which the Senate OF Idaho
was organized. Mr. Palmer treated Mr.
Gray's contention on that point as too fine
and technical, so long as there was fair
and actual compliance with the law on the
part of the Legislature of Idaho. Mr.
Palmer said, in conclusion, that he trusted
the time would come when such questions
could not arise, and when the people would
speak directly IN the choice of their Sena-
tors But so long as the present method
continued the acts of the State Legislatures
should be judged literally and fairly, &C
cording to their spirit and intention.
Without disposing of the resolution the
Senate, at s P. NJ, adjourned till tomorrow.

to drop the weight, the long tongue of
the hook trips against a rod or slat ex-
tended across the frame for the purpose
and is pulled down. This act let's the
weight slide to the left and the hook ring
TO the richt in the slot (see right of pic
ture) The weight is thus freed and falls
heavily on the post.
Thirteen-foot planks are firmly braced
on the front ends of stone boat planks,
held together by irons and bolts eight feet
from the ground. so they will not interfere
with posts being driven. When being
drawn from one field or farm 10 another
the boat planks are connected in front and
behind by hooks made Of heavy wire. This
prevents their spreading. Two pulleys are
made of double thicknesses of inch board.
The grain of these boards is placed at
right angles the one to the other to prevent
splitting. One is hung at the top of the
upright, to receive the rope direct from
the weight hook. and the other at the rear
end of the boat planks on a brace. A
horse draws the machine along astride the
fence row, and the posts are held in place
by the uprights while being driven. Any
boy can raise the weight by pulling on the
rope. says Home and Farm, authority for
the foregoing.
