THE INAUGURATION STANDS.
senator Hale Wants Inform alton Prom the
Commissioners.

Senator Hale introduced to-day .
resolution calling the Commission
ers to inform the Senate as 10 how
many permits for the erection Of stands
along the route Of the Inauguration parade
had been issued and how many Of these were
erected on public reservations and IN front Of
public buildings.
A running discussion took place On the resp
luton, in which half dozen Senators tookpast
and m which stress laid on the facts tn 6
these stands we're a Disagreement to the CITY:
that they obetructed views of many OF the fnest
public buildings aud statues; that they blocked
mp views from private houses, and that the
tickets for seats were being specialized in and
large prices charged for them
An inquiry was made by Mr.. Jones ARK ~
to whether seats were reserved for Senators and
Representative, and he was informed that
there would be no difficulty about that, as they
might have all the seats they desired ON paying
extortionate prices to ticket spectators.
A statement was made by Mr. German that
stands had been erected only at the same
places where there were stands at the last in
auguration, and at his suggestion the reso-
luton went over till tomorrow.

The Bill Passed, Knocking Out

SENATE.

Five years ago the birthday Of Washington
was commemorated in the Senate by the read
ing Of his farewell address. This was done at
the instance Of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,,
and Mr. ingalls,, then president of the Senate
pro tem., was the reader. Today that precedent
was repeated again on the motion Of Mr. Hoar,
Mr.. Henderson, president of the Senate pro
tenn, being the reader.
The Vice President being absent the chair
was taken by Mr.. Henderson, and as soon as
the journal of yesterday was read Mr.. Mander-
son rose and said that in obedience to the order
of the Senate he would read the farewell address
of George Washington, and he proceeded to do
so, with most of the Senators in their seats and
with fairly large audience in the galleries, all
giving a close and respectful attention.
The reading was concluded at / pm, and
then, on motion Of Mr.. Sherman (Ohio), the
Senate proceeded to executive business.
The doors were reopened after about five
minutes and the routine morning business was
proceeded with.
There was some debate growing out Of the
introduction by Mr.. Hale of a resolution rela-
tive to the Disagreement of the avenue by
grand stands for Inauguration day, but the
matter went over without action.
THE suSDRY CIVIL BILL PASSED.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was then
taken up and all the amendments made in
committee of the whole (some of which had
been reserved last night were agreed to.
Mr.. Davis (Minn.) renewed the amendment
offered by HIM last night to strike out Of the
bill the proviso that the act of March s. 1891
(repeaiing the timber-culture laws, shall not
apply to or affect any case where contest was
pending in the land department prior to the
passage of that act.
The vote was taken and Mr.. Davis motion
was agreed to-ayes, %: nays, Is. So the pro-
viso was struck out of the bill.
Mr.. Hawley Comm offered an amendment
appropriating 100000 for the construction Of
the necessary buildings at the military post at
Helena, Mont. and fixing the limit of cost at
S25000 Agreed to.
The bill was then passed
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
The conference report on the army appropri-
alton bill (Which had been presented last week
was called up and agreed to after discussion as
to the rank which the next chief of the signal
vice is to hold. The conference committee
had struck out the Senate amendment fixing the
rank as that Of lieutenant colonel instead Of
brigadier general.
Mr.. Bate (Tenn.) moved to recommit the
bill to the conference committee, but that mo-
ton was defeated. So the law on that point
remains unchanged.
The consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill was then taken up. but without any action
upon it the Senate Cat 2:40) again proceeded to
the consideration of executive business.

Col. Mfchaels' Order.
Col. Michaels, commander of the Depart

following order:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF PoToMAC,
UNION VETERANS UNION.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February o. 1898.
To the colonies and comrades Of the several
commands Of the department.:
1t has been suggested that this department
participate in the inaugural parade. As an ex-
preston of respect for the high Office of chief
magistrate Of the nation this would be emil
men thy fitting. No class of our citizens have a
deeper more abiding concern in
the highest Office within the gift of
the people than have the men whose
patriotism and valor saved that Office
from utter degradation and absolute extin-
guishment The interest that fred their souls
in 1865 has lost nothing of its intensity by
the lapse OF third Of . century, and if their
physical condition permitted the effort they
would be foremost on all occasions calling for
patriotic demonstration. The national en-
campment recognized the infrmities of q large
percentum Of the membership Of the
organization resulting from wounds and
long service at the front and adopted
q resolution dispensing with parades.
thereby putting It beyond tho power

not intended to interfere with volunteer
action" If, therefore, the commands Of this
department, or any part Of them, wish to take
part in the parade on the 4th Of March it is
within their province to SO decide. 1t
is not improper for me to suggest
that comrades should act as Q body
and in such understanding a. will reflect credit
upon the department. To this end the colonies
and comrades Of the department are earnestly
invited to meet at the Office of General Thomas

WHAT WEARIED HIM.

A friend onced asked an aged man
what caused him to complain SO often
at eventide of pain and weariness.-
ALAS" replied he, II have every day
SO much to do. / have two falcons to
tame, two hares to keep from running
away, two hawks to manage, serpent
to confine, a lion to chain and sick
man to tend and wait upon"
well, we'll" commented his friend,
you are busy, indeed But 1 didn't
know that you had anything to do
with menagerie. How, then, do you
make that out p
Why" continued the old man,
listen: The two falcons are my eyes,
which must guard diligently; the
two hares are my feet, which | must
keep from walking in the ways of
sin; the two hawks, are my hands,
which must train to work, that
may provide for myself and those de-
pendent on me, as well as for a needy
friend occasionally; the serpent is my
tongue, which must keep ever bri-
died lest it speak unseemly; the lion is
my heart, with which have contin-
ual fight lest evil things come out of
it, and the sick man is my whole body
which is always needing my watch
fulness and care. All this daily wears
out my strength"
