I am your last years overcoat!
Don't you know me?
That's right, give me shake.

A compound fracture
Of my right wristband.
Also, my complexion's faded.
And

I ought to have tonic. My lining is

And needs a barber to cut it pom

But Pm good for another whirl
I'm not much ON looks, but I'm
A beauty on economy!
Only you can't tuck +,

Onto me! T
Think of the contrast!

Senator Palmer took exception IN tba
remarks of some republicans and ro.

Some members of the senate have
been asking themselves what the sen
ate will do in case Cleveland should
fail to take any notice of their request
for information. but most Of those
who have spoken upon the subject say
this is not a probable contingency
They admit, however. that it would not

The senate passed the senate bill to
reimburse Nebraska for expenses incur
red in the Sioux outbreak of 1901; also

The senate adjourned till Monday.
In the lower house the bankruptcy
bill was taken up, Mr.. Bailey, of Tex
eS. speaking against it.
Bailey antagcnized the bill in bril-
liant speech. An equitable bankruptcy
law. he said, could work no possible
injury to creditor or debtor but as
to the proposed bill, radical differences
exist as to whether it is proper meas
ure. He thought the Objectionable
features of the pending bill so mex
tricably interviewer that it could not
be amended and made acceptable.
In closing the general debate for the
advocacy of the bill, Col. Oates explain
ed that the charge that the bill pro-
vided Imprisonment for debt was with
out foundation. He denied that the
bill had any harsh provisions and ex-
pressed a willingness to accept any
amendments proposed in good faith
and sustained by honest argument.
Washington, Dec. S.-The Torrey
bankruptcy bill was killed unexpect-
eddy by the house today just as its
consideration under the five minutes
rule was about to begin.
Col. Oates, champion of the meas.
ure, declined to permit the house to
vote on Bailey's substitute, providing
simply for a voluntary system of
bankruptcy, whereupon Bland precipi-
tated a ferment by moving to strike
out the enacting clause of the bill.
Vainly the advocates Of the meas
ure protested that it would be unfair
to reject the bill before the house had
Il chance to perfect it by amendment.
PleadinSs were unavailing. The de
cisive vote was 142 to Ill.
Judge Torrey, of st. Louis, author
of the measure, who for ten years has
been pushing the bill, sat disconso-
lately in the gallery. The vote was
not strictly party one. An analysis
shows that lis democrats, eighteen
republicans and nine populists voted
to strike out the enacting clause and
that sixty-four republicans and forty
seven democrats votes against it.
An attempt to drive the bill for the
admission of Utah through the house
during the morning hour was de
feated by a determined tilibuster led
by Dingley, of Maine, and supported
by almost the entire republican side.
The course of the republicans fore
shadows the policy upon the admis
sion not only of Utah but of the other
democratic territories of New Mexico
and Arizona, bills for which have al
ready been favorably reported by the
committee on territories.

MARsEILLEs, Nov. 6.-The strike of
the employees Of the horse car lines in
this city has assumed a most threaten
ing aspect to-day. The police seem ut
terly unable to cope with mobs and it
is probable that the soldiers will have
TO be called upon to suppress rioting.

ors assembled on the Cannebiere,
the widest and most frequented
thoroughfare of this city, and
overturned fifteen horse cars which the
companies attempted to run. In addi-

cars with petroleum and set fire to it.
The rioters also tore up the horse car

MAY ASK RESERVATIONS.
If Land Office Officials are Indicted They
will be Bounced.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Gov. Rem
frow, of Oklahoma, had an interview
with the President to-day when the
latter received a detailed history of the
alleged frauds in connection with the
opening of the Cherokee Strip. He
previously met Secretary Smith, Of the
Interior Department. The Secretary is
very much worried over the fact that it
appears that some Of the officials had
been accepting brides in the Strip.
At first he had thought that it
was not true, but he has reached the
conclusion that at any rate the reputa
ton Of the department was not being
improved by the reports being circu-
lated, and in the event the grand
jury finds indictments against any ofthe
officials, it is claimed that Secretary
Smith has indicated that it would be a
clever precautionary measure to ask for
the designations of all who are indicted
for brides taken or for being induced to
accord special privileges to certain set
tiers for money. 1t is understood that
the Secretary has also been informed
by Special Agent Womack, who is now
here, that some of the financial work of
certain officials has been so rough that
they will certainly be indicted.
