regarding the letting of q certain contract.
He said: "If the contract were let to a

Similar action was taken at Tacoma last
night by the Scandinavian Americans of
that city, who denounced the Portland
demagogue in scathing terms.

Oriental Scenes in New Mexico.

'Traveling up the Rio Grande valley," said tourist just returned from New Mexico, "some of the scenes that saw seemed to be rather of Syria than of a western territory of the United States The little patches of wheat and barley about the Indian and Mexican villages had been reaped, and the natives were threshing grain by the primitive means used in scriptural times. In the open fields was the threshing floor of clay, leveled and beaten hard. Upon this the grain in the straw was stacked, and around the edge of the heap sheep or goats were driven in a circle at top speed As they ran the grain con- tinually worked down from the center under their feet, which quickly threshed it from the straw. The hurrying an- imals; the dark-skined. picturesquely clad Mexicans and Indians, shouting, gesticulating and cracking whips to urge them on; the brown bare-armed women winnowing grain by tossing it high in blankets, made a picture full of color and motion. In its setting of arid landscape, bounded by distant mountains, with foreground diversi- fled by few flat roofed mud houses, standing amid tiny vineyards, corn fields, and orchards, and few tower ing cottonwoods marking the course of the Rio Grande, the spectacle seemed an antique passage from the Orient N Y Sun

THE FIRST UNPlEASANTNESS
Mr.. Bland Objected to Extending Mr.. Bur.
rows Time,
But Was Finally COaxed Into With
rows Proceeds With His Speech.

The first unpleasantness over the silver
debate In the House occurred this morning
whether 1t was the hot weather, the late
hours which the House has been keeping
recently or what not. the House appeared
to be in a bad humor, and Mr. Burrows Of
Michigan was the temporary victim of 1t.
Yesterday and today the fve-minute rule
prevailed, and members were limited to
that length Of time in making their silver
speeches. There has been no trouble, how
ever In any case in securing unanimous
consent for extension of time where it was
desired by members. even up to half an
hour or more. according to the prominence
Of the speaker
So, when Mr.. Burrows Of Michigan start
ed to speak this morning he asked the in:
duigence OF the House to an extension of
his time to forty minutes. Mr.. Bland of
Missouri objected to this, unless the same
privilege should be granted Mr.. Marsh of
Illinois. who was to follow Mr.. Burrows.
Mr.. BANDS objection was not presented in
very graceful manner, but it was instantly
agreed by the other side, and I'll present
that Mr.. Marsh should have forty -ninures
also. Mr.. Marsh. however, declared that he
only wanted thirty minutes. whereupon Mr..
limited to thirty minutes also. Mr.. Bur-
rows courteously renewed his request for
forty minutes and Mr.. Bland again ob-
1ected. Then Mr.. Burrows politely stated
to the Speaker that II he was to be limited
to f1ve minutes he would decline the recog-
milton which had been so kindly accorded
him and would not speak. This announce
ment was greeted with a round Of applause
from the republican members and Mr. Bur-
rows took his seat. Several members gath
coaxing he later withdrew his objection
ana Mr.. BURROWS proceeded.
