| He Gives 8 Statement from n Strongly Re-
: publican Point of View.
WASHINGTON, March u.-Supplement-
| ing Senator Allison's and Chairman Hol-
mans statements of the appropriations of
| the last congress Henderson of Iowa, for
| eight years a member of the house com
mittee on appropriations, comes to the
! front with his analysis of the work of the
! Fiftysecond congress, taken from strong
! ~ Republican view. He gives the total
appropriations including permanent APP
preparations, at 81, Geo, S22 t49. -, exceeding
the Fifty-first congress by S3S, 404, 500. IS, an
increase of Sl15, 701. AZ, for each COMPRESSION
al district IN the United States. He notices
the charge chat the senate makes the large
appropriations and calls attention to the
facs that the house at the session Just
CLOSED sent their bill to the senate for S513,-
SS7 .242- o. or at the rate of over 81 ,021 CO.,
OOC pei annum. The house is billion
dollar" house. he says, for its bills for the
Fifty-second congress aggregated 81 .004,-
las, GA. I9 before they reached the senate.
Advice to the Administration.
He also gives figures to show that in adj
dition to appropriations actually made by
the f1fty-second congress ii authorized con-
tracts mortgaging future revenues in the
sum of SIS, $50, 621. He says that if the Fifty
second congress seeks to excuse itself by
charging It's extravaganza to the leglSIa-
ton of the Fifty-first congress- then the
latter congress can make similar claims
against its Democratic predecessor and the
Fifty-second congress aggregating over
sol ,OO0,0OO To guard against deficit
Henderson warns this administration to
give closer attention to ''moonshiners"
and the whisky ring in collecting more
internal revenue than it did from 1885 to
1889, when it collected S51 095, 6S2. 04 less
than President Arthur, and S115, 35S, 524 i3
less than President Harrison.
Some Reelection on Pensioning.
He touches on pensions, showing from
the pension bureau that the rolls will
reach their highest point on Dec. 81, 1894,
with LII ,9lS on the rolls, including in
valids. widows. orphans and Independent
parents, the annual value of the rolls at
that date being l55. $50, 094. That in 1895
there will be dropped from the rolls A, 93s
pensioners with an increasing ratio there
after. Referring To the complaint against
widows pensions, he shows that if all
widows claims yet undisposed of are allow
ed there would be 109, S34 dead soldiers m
represented on the rolls by a widow, an
orphan or a dependent parent. He also
points out the danger to the treasury from
war claims and says that congress now has
the data to show that about $500, 900, 900
may yet be drawn from it to satisfy their
demands.

DEMAND FOR A PROMPT ANSWER

Sent the Switchmen by the Chicago and

Quarters for New Men-A Strong Com
bine to Fight "a Strike-'Each for All
and All for Each"-The Ann Arbor
Trouble Gives Evidence of Spreading.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE signs of ap
preaching trouble with the railway
switchmen of this city are on every
hand. 1t is said that the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois has been at work the past
two days building berths in it's freight
house at Twelfth street, which are to be
used by the new men, providing new men
men are needed. The officials of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois road made a
move in the game yesterday that may pre-
eipitate a strike. An order was sent out
by the road demanding an answer from
the switchmen employed on the road by
tonight as to what they are going to do.
Grand Master Wilson, of the switchmen,
said that he did not know anything about
the report President Carpenter, of the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, says that he
issued such an order 1t is also said that
the general managers of several other
roads have made the same demand, but
they will neither deny nor affirm the re-
port.
1t has been decided among the general
managers that the losses of the roads oc-
casioned by the strike VIII be pro-rated.
The expenses of running the roads will be
borne equally by all the roads. Should it
happen that the men would go out on only
ii few of the roads the other roads will
share the losses of the tied-up lines. The
managers are going to act unit in the
trouble. They Will make Il combined fight,
and Will endeavor to stop once for all the
danger OF having strike on the roads
whenever travel becomes a little heavier
than usual.
4 Decision Expected Soon.
At the switchmen's headquarters yester-
day everything was quiet Grand Master
Wilson and Vice Grand Master Downey
refused to say anything as to what they
would do except that the laws of the or
ganization would be fully carried out. The
grievance committee will meet either to-
day or Monday, which will probably settle
the matter one way or the other 1t can
not come any too soon, the railroad Off
Gals say, and they are fully prepared to

and is a candidate for the CHILEAN mis-
sion, now held by Patrick Egan. When
his case was presented to the president by
Allen, Bryan and Hayes Cleveland was
non-committal and gave no indication of
his choice in the matter. Another Nebras-
kan who called was II. W. Shoemaker of
Omaha, a candidate for an assistant attor-

his friend, Secretary Morton

Ex-Governor Isaac p. Gray, the newly

Lawler Pushing His Claims
Frank Lawyer received yesterday from
Joseph A. O'Donnell, one of the Chicago
representatives at Springfield, a petition to
Senator Palmer, signed by all the 10l mem
bers who voted for Palmer for senator, and
who are in the present legislature, asking
the senator to support Lawyer for postmas-
ter at Chicago. Lawler took it at once to
Senator Palmer and left it with him.
Should the senator go the president and
express the wish that Lawler be appointed
there is little doubt that his request will be
complied with. for the president has GER
tainly a kindly feeling for Lawler. and the
monster petition has made very strong
impression on him.
Two Other Illinois Applicants.

talk with the president yesterday in the
interest of Brinton for marshal and Shut

ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
A Republican Senator Makes Plan for
Cleveland.

Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, March. 1.-THE course OF
the president in withdrawing the Hawaiian
treaty is still a matter of discussion among
senators, though they are stopped from
talking publicly upon the rbiect by the
ancient senatorial tradit on that matters
executive must be regarded as secret until
such time the senate itself removes
the injunction of secrecy, which it has
failed to do in the present instance A Re
publican senator who has raken a promi-
nent part in most of the discussions in the
senate in recent years that have touched
foreign relations said yesterday that he
had received intimation that the presi-
dent was DESTROYS of modifying the treaty,
and that it would III .mately be returned
to the senate.
An Importa Modification.
One of the con .inplated notifications
was probably suggested by the protest of
Queen Lilioukalani made by Mr. Paul
Neuman, her representative. which stated
that a majority of the Hawaiians were Bit
terly opposed to annexation. The senator
thought it possible that the president
might frame the treaty that annexation
would depend upon the will of the Hawaii
ans as expressed by plebiscitum. Should
the majority reject annexation then pro-
tectorate might be establishea. The sena-
tor felt sure that n large majority of the
Intelligent population of the islands fav-
ored annexation outright, but among the
lower classes much opposition would doubt
less be found
Annexation by Another Road.
Should these classes dominate then a
protectorate will follow and this in turn
would surely result in annexation because
the United States could not underta Ike per-
manentiy to assume responsibility for the
acts of the islanders without the nov er to |
control those acts; otherwise serious COM
plications with other powers would ensue
The senator further admitted that the
treaty was ambiguous respecting the sugar
bounty. While the general understanding
was that it provided that this bounty
should not be paid to the Hawaiian sugar
producers, there was a possibility of a |
different interpretation of the section.
May Possibly BE q Straw.
The Hawaiian annexers, Thurston and |
Castle, were summoned to the secretary of |
states office yesterday afternoon. The |
secretary, just before he saw the Hawaii |
ans, was closeted for some time with Sena- |
tor Gray, member of the committee on !
foreign relations who alone of all the men,
bers of the committee did not sign the re- |
port recommending the ratification of the |
treaty. The impression prevails in official |
circles that the treaty will not find its way |
to the senate again during the extra ses-
sion. The secretary intimated to the Haw-
aiians that he would want some informa-
ton from them, but he was too busy with
to attend to the matter at :
once.

When a woman is going to tell any
thing, she always has a preference. And
this is mine. The most beautiful thing
ever created by God is a lovely woman.
A man may be magnificent, majestic, SUI
perb, triumphant, but the minute he be-
comes beautiful he is neither man nor
woman. To woman alone does this adjec-
tive belong.
The greatest painters who have lived
have announced that beauty means a
series of curves. Where, then, does it
exist except in the figure of woman
Man, with his muscular development,
with his bigness, with his fatness, typi-
lies, strength and pOwer-represents the
master. Woman, with her delicate skin,
her curves, her blue veins taking the
place of coarse cords, typifies beauty and

beautiful picture, the most absolutely
pure, IS that OF Eve when she was ignOr-

cent and sweet, nude alike in body and in
mind, and does not blush. But the other
picture, the other statue, showing Eve
dragging the leaves about her body,
make the loOker-on blush, and shows in
ives face that with her gaining of the
knowledge OF right and wrong, came the
iled that she must be covered, and the

WOMAN IN HER NATURAL STATE.
Probably the best criticism that was
ever given of two pictures, and which
uesJ typiies the purity of nudity, and the
suggestion in semi-covering, was that
udue by a small girl who was taken TO
