FOR AMERICANS ONLY,

Under the insignificant title Of bill to
amend Section ABB, Revised Statutes, the
House last week passed measure of impor-
lance TO American shipping interests. It was
introduced and pushed by Mr.. Mallory, of
Florida. The statute referred to. among other
things, requires all Of the officers of vessels of
the United States to be citizens of the United
States. 1t was this requirement. that caused so
much trouble for the international Navigation
Co. when it was sought to place under Ancri-
can registry and on the subsidy list the steam
ships New York and Paris. An amendment TO
the statute adopted by the House includes
engineers and assistant engineers of the vessels
in the same requirement. as 10 officers.

First the House then the Senate galleries all
through the long silver debate have been filed
with curious spectators. But the people are
very quiet, for in the Senate it is a very grave
ohense audibly to manifest any sentiment re-
garding the proceedings going on below. Only
in a few iso sted instances has there been any
disturbanc, Of this sort, and the offender has
been sumnarily removed. Several thousand
people have been listening each day. and
watching the struggle. Probably one-t third are
women; even during the period of night
sessions there was a considerable number Of
women in the ladies gallery until after one
o'clock. Each morning before the circus begins
heated discussions are carried on in the heavily
loaded street cars vending their way I'D the
hill. and in the corridors of the main build
iDgs around the doors TO the galleries, where
the men and women are assembled early. All
day long men and women file in and out of the
galleries, which show little change in the nam-
Der OF spectators. There is a constant disputa-
ton carried on in an undertone as 10 situation.

pioBs. Bets are made on the various moves, and
on the fnal result. and il is safe to say that a
goodly number of the much abused silver
dollars change hands in the course Of the day.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

Since the silver agitation begun, Congress
sional Librarian Spofford says, there has been
an unusual demand from the people for litcra-
tIre on financial subjects There is no stand
ard treatise Oh money yet written. he declares
and the basic and fundamental work is still
imprinted.
Rev. w. II. Milburn, the blind Chaplain of
the Senate, has enjoyed something of a sinecure
lately. As the legislative day of Tuesday of
last week long one, that days prayer
stands Oh record as the last delivered before the
Senate. No further business could be offered
until the Senate adjourned instead Of taking a
recess, and thus began a new legislative day.
So
There are several men with extraordinary
memories in this Congress. Mr. DeForest. Of
Connecticut is one. He always writes cut bis
speeches before delivering them, and commits
them to memory. however long they may be.
He is SO expert and clearheaded at this that
the notes taken by the "hen-trackors" in the
Senate. in order to insert any interruptions in
their proper places are invariably found to be
reproductions requiring the change of scarcely
word. In his speech on the silver bill some
time ago ex-Speaker Reed displayed similar
ability. Not a word had TO be changed in the
stenOgrsphic report
So
There are other men in Washington who
possess good memories for unusual subjects
Librarian Spoiord has long been noted for bis
wonderful ability 20 cite ofhand authorities
on all sorts OF topics. Ivan c. Michel, clerk
10 one OF the Senate committees, is thoroughly
familiar with no less than 20 different Ian.
gusges including his native speech. Russian.

and is acquiring more. This young man is only
% years old.

civil service law as TO provide for an equal
division of Offices among the States and their
Congressional DISTRICTS salaries also to be APP
portioned by the heads of the Departments.
The offices are to be filled by local elections,
and to be held for stated terms. The sting of

Senator Dubois. of Idaho. one of the silver
Senators, has attracted good deal of attention
this session. Dubois is an Illinois man and Yale
graduate, but be is business man and not q
lawyer. He wss in Congress four years as a
Delegate before being chosen as one of the first
Senators from Idaho. He is AZ years old, but
looks 10 years younger. He is a favorite with
ex-Speaker Reed, who admires his sharpness.

skillfully to one of Senator Voorhees, tbrusts.
Reed almost came over and patted him OH tho

but he has wisely waited two years before en-
gaging in general debate conspicuously. When
the young Senator gets up to speak be stands
close to the desk, aud holds on to it until he
gets well started, although he shows no other
signs of nervousness. He Is rather handsome
fellow, of medium hight, good figure, and a
decided bruno complexion.

Senator Hills gestures have often been re-
marked upon. His hands and arms are On
usually flexible Hes seems to use them at times
as though he were cracking whip, and again
as if initiating the fight of birds. There is
sudden sweep of the arm in front of the body,
a swift movement of bis hand up aud down,
forward and back, apparently half dozen times
a second, and then another long sweep of the
arm, with a sudden twisting of the hand made
with equal rapidity. Sometimes be uses both
arms and both hands in the same way, always
swiftly and in unusual curves, now at his side
now in front, now over his head. But his gest-
ures would have to be photographed to be ap-
preciated by the reader. They cannot be de-
scribed in words. for they are too sudden and
too swift for the eye. Senator Hill has taken
his place in the foremost line Of leaders in the
Senate. and must be reckoned with hereafter
accordingly.

One of the prettiest of the new designs for
embroidery is of tiny wreaths composed Of two
or three or four little fve-petalled flowers and
q spray of green grass at each end. The flowers
are worked in pink, blue and pale yellow; the

suit is fowery little decoration that when
smoothly done on fine linen looks like paint

for the dining-table. for bureau scarfs, or for
almost any of the dainty linen pieces.
