YESTERDAY CARELESSNESS GAVE
STEWART A REST

Wilson Bill Will Pass the Senate Only
After Its Opponents Can Talk No More
consequently They Should Be Made
To Talk Many Hours Day.
Especial to the Press.l
Washington, September 5.-The silver
men in the Senate today scored a point
in the fight, due simply to the careless
ness and inattention to business of the
repealers. After Senator Stewart of
Nevada had held the floor for about
three hours he intimated that as he had
a great deal more to say the Senate
would perhaps like to hear the end of his
speech tomorrow. but no one appeared, to
take the hint. A few minutes later, Mr..
Morgan of Alabama, another silver man,
came to the rescue of the Nevada Sena-
tor by moving an executive session and,
although there was an appeal by the re-
pealers, the motion to close the doors was
carried by vote of 35 to %. Had all
the opponents of silver been in their
seats, the motion could not have pre-
vailed, and Mr.. Stewart would have been
forced to talk at least a couple OF hours
more, and this would have been consid-
cradle of strain upon. hlm. IL IS reallzed
now, if it never was before, that the tight
for the passage of the Wilson bill has re-
solved itself into question of physical
endurance and the supporters of the re-
peal bill will have to tire out the other
side before it will consent to yield. This
cannot be done by any shilly shally
tactics. The handful of men who are OPP
posing the wishes and interests of the
country must be treated without mercy
if they are not to set at defiance the
wishes of the majority. It is useless. to
hope to accomplish anything if the Sen
ate meets at noon and adjourns at four or
five O'Clock, as was the case today. 1t is
within the power of the friends of honest
money to have the Senate meet at ten
and sit without Interruption until s or
9 O'Clock at night, and it is believed
few days of this kind of business would
soon compel the silver men to capitu
late and allow the bill to be brought to
vote.

are still observed with the same untiring
capacity for enjoyment; the public re-

fore admiring crowds; the water carriers
still carry their burdens so welcome to
the thirsty lips; except in the houses of
the rich and thoroughly Europeanized,
the food is still eaten with the fingers
and in the same manner, and the hands
are washed in the same basins and

Too Hcautirnl to Live.

The pride and flower of all the youth
of the Zoo is the young hippopotamus.
AS it lies on its side, with eyes half
closed, its square nose like the end of a
bolster tilted upward, its little fat legs
stuck out straight at right angles to its
body and it's toes turned up like a
ducks, it looks like q gigantic newborn
rabbit. It has pale, petunia colored
stomach and the same artistic shade
adorns the soles of its feet. 1t has a
double chin, and its eyes, like bull
calf's, are set on pedestals and close
gently as it goes to sleep with bland,
enormous smile. 1t cost $500 when
quite small, and, to quote the opinion of
an eminent grazier who was looking it
over with a professional eye, it still looks
like 'sgrowing into money" There are
connoisseurs in hippopotamus breeding
who think it almost zoo beautiful to live.
