judiciary committee, OF winch he was chair
man. He had no feeling in the matter he
said, and hoped his associates. for whom
he had the highest regard, would accept
his resignation as chairman of the judic-
iary committee. There was general OBJ
lection to this from nearly all the commits
sioners present. which was condensed into
a resolution introduced by Myers of Ken
tucky, to the effect that the commission
refuse to accept the resignation and tender
Mr.. Massey a vote of thanks for the able
work of his committee and renewed conf
kence i'll its members.
The commissioners who rose one after
another to eulogize chairman Massey and
ask him please not to resign, so played
lpon the emotion of that body that it real
" looked at one tirIe as if the fearful
scene which followed Mrs. Potter Palmer's
bluff" at resigning from the wOman's
board, would be repeated in the commits
sion Finally Massey was given twenty
four hours to think over what he had said
and try to reconcile his conscience with
remaining at the head of the judiciary COM
mittee There was a slim att endance of
the comniSs ion. but that did not prevent
Hundlev, of Alabama, from resurrectlnS
the corpse OF Sunday closing and there

CELEBRATION BY eRITISHERS.
They Keep the Queens birthday and De-
nounce Annexation.

They Keep the Queens birthday and De-
nounce Annexation.
The celebration at the park of QueenVic-
toria's birthday by Canadians and British
crs was an enthusiastic protest against an
ueNation to the United States of Canada.
The Rev. Leonard GaetZ, of the Northwest
territory, characterized the annexation
lists CT Ontario and Quebec as Vigorous
kickers" who ought to cross the borders II
they wa nted to cease being British sub
jects. George r. Cockburn, member of
parliament for Toronto; Senator Perley,
Of the Northwe st territory, who presided;
Commissioner Fenwick, of New South
Wales, and representatives of Nova Scotia,
Manitoba Ontario, Quebec, Ceylon, India,
British Guinea and Jamaica denounced
any attempt to break the ties which bound
the colonies to the British empire. Many
pieasantries were indulged in at the ex-
pellse of Uncle Sam, Chicago and Amer
:cans. The fervor of the asse mbly's patri
otism was expressed by the singing of
God Save the Queen" "Red, White and
Blue" "Rule Britannia" and other British
songs.
A curious feature of the celebration was
that it was taken part in by the Quackuhl
Indians, who form part of the ethno-
logical department of the fair. Their home
is on Vancouver Island, and they proved
themselves loyal subjects of Victoria. The
whole band of this queer looking race of
North American Indians boarded the big
war canoe which they brought from Can
ada and embarked on the south pond near
where they are quartered. All were decked
in holiday dress, their faces were daubed
with paint, and their spirits appeared to be

He Wants to Resign His Craftsmanship
Doings at the Fair Grounds.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, May 25.-The
action of the national commission in abiding
by the new law submitted by the local di-
rectory opening the gates of the fair on
Sunday has caused considerable dissension
in that body, and resulted in the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Massey from the chairmanship
of the Judiciary committee, which rem
dered two reports on the Sunday closin e
question. When the commission was called
to order fifteen members were lacking TO
make a quorum. Massey was given the
floor, and said the action of the body IN
adopting the minority report as substl-
tute for the majority report on the sunday
opening matter seemed to indicate a lack
of confidence in his committee.
He said that on three or ur occasions
the commission had failed to act upon re-
ports rendered ON matters referred to his
committee and this action was plainly a
vote of "no confidence" in the ability of the

British flag of the naval regulation was
unfurled from the stern of the rough un-
wieldy boat, and the folds blew in the face
of the Quackuhl chief, who stood erect with
n tambourine in his hands. Each side or
the boat was manned by braves who guided
and rowed it with paddles. Another Quack-
uhl stood at the PROV, and the center of
the boat was occupied by squaws and pap
pooses. On reaching the grand basin the
boatload of braves stood up and howled
and danced to the jingle of the tambourlne
in the chiefs hands.

Publishers Talk About Mechanics.
The publishers discussions so far have
been mostly mechanical-about labor saw
ing machinery. The great want now felt
is a machine that will fold, wrap and ad-
dress 'steen thousand or so papers a min
ute, and at the last meeting of the associa-
tion a committee was appoinied ed to inquire
into the matter. Hoskins, of Nashville.
had found a machine with a capacity of
only $500 papers an hour, which in fact had
only been operated so far by hand. John
Morris, business manager of the New York
World, cross-examined Mr. Hoskins closely
about the mailing machine, and s. II.
Ksuffmann, of the Washington Star, and
Nh. Scott also joined in the discussion.
Measurement of Type.
As the matter of folding, etc. was worth
81 900 week to some papers it was finally
decided to set mailing room experts on the
track, the association to pay the expenses.
The measurement of type has been bone
of contention between prints" and their
employers, and a committee had been in
conference with the Typographical union,
type founders, and others interested. The
result of the conference was the recon-
mendation of a new system OF measuring
| type by which whether the type We're lean"

that this recommendation would be acted

ROBBERS GET So, 900. q
The Safe OF the Dow-Law Bank at Fort
Valley blown Open.

Fort Valley, Ga, Dec. 1s.--The Dow
Law Bank at this place was entered by
burglars last night and all the cash on
hand, about 81, 900, was taken OF.
Bills of exchange, checks and other pa.
pers were not molested.
The manner in which the robbery was
effected, and the quality of the tools left
behind, indicate that the Job was done by
professionals.
No positive clew as to who the robbers
were can be obtained, but it is supposed
to be the work Of two strangers on the
tramp order who have been loafing
around town for week or more. 1t is
thought by some to be the work of the
same gang who robbed bank in Colum-
bus and Lyons store in Macon some
time ago.
The usual method of drilling and blow.
ing open the doors of the vault and safe
were employed Every effort is being
made TO capture the burglars. 1t is
fortunate that the amount Of cash in the
safe was smaller than it had been for
months, or the loss would have fallen
much heavier on Mr.. H. G. Harris, the
proprietor, with whom all Of the people
sympathize.

the chairman that the committee had
come TO no conclusion, the clerk read a
letter from the President, in reply to the
Hit resolution, accompanying the papers
asked for In that resolution. Two papers
were withheld because In the Presidents S
opinion 1t would be in1udicious 10 give
them out at the present time No atten-
tiOn was paid to the reading Of the
message, and all the members engaged in
conversation or wandered about the hall.
THE INSTRUCTIONS TO WILLIS.
After the reading was completed. Mr..
Boutelle, of Maine, called for the instruc-
tions to Minister Willis. After some dis
cussion, the speaker directed that they
be read. Almost the entire House
Gro Hded into the bar OF the House during
the reading and drank in with avidhy
every word as il fell from the lips Of the
clerk
Mr.. Boutelle then began to fight for re-
cognition on matter of personal privilege,
but the speaker ruled that the privileged
matter must be read from the desk, and
as Mr. Boutelle had nothing to send to
the clerks desk, the speaker refused to
recognize him.
BoUTELLE EXCITED.
MIR Boutele then became more
excited than ever, and the House
presented a wild scene of turmoil
and confusion Finally, when the
speaker had exhausted all his eloduence
and persuasion on the member from
Maine, the speaker threatened TO call on
the sergeant-at-arms to preserve order
The crowd before the desk and in the
aisles slowly melted away, but Mr.. Bou-
telle stood alone calling on the
speaker for recognition. Finally
the speaker recognized Mr.. BIecl1in-
ridge, of Kentucky, who moved
that the House resolve itself into
committee of the whole TO consider the
general appropriation bills. A division
was demanded, but as the republicans
generally refrained from voting no quo
rum was apparent, 0nd Mr. Boutelle de-
manded the yeas and nays One hundred
and seventy-four members responded, the
republicans as n unit sitting silent, and,
as a quorum had not appeared Mr..
Breckenridge, at o'clock, moved that
the House adjourn, and the motion was
agreed to.
ovER-REACHED THEMSELVES.
The republicans by this action played
into the hands Of their opponents by
allowing them to postpone debate and
action on the Hawaiian matter until to-
morrow, But no one on the republican
side seemed TO appreciate the fact except
Mr.. Reed, who endeavOred TO prevent the
adjournment. The relief came too late.
however, as the speaker announced that
the House had adjourned by vote OF the
House.

BoUTELLE MAKES A BREAK.
Refused Reee gnition by the Speaker
he Gets Excited.

Washington, Dec. ls.-The near ap-
proach of the Christmas holidays was
made manifest during the early hours Of
the session OF the House this morning by
the slim attendance Of members on the
floor and the lack Of interest shown in
the proceedings, which even the expecta
tion Of the Hawaiian message failed no
arouse.
Five minutes after it's meeting, on mo-
tion Of Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
the House resolved itself into committee
of the whole to consider the urgent def
cheney bill, and MIR. Baldwin, of Mime
sofa, took the floor.
At 1920 O'Clock, Mr.. Pruden, the Pres
idents assistant private secretary, ap-
peared at the door of the House and pre-
sented the Pre- sident's message.
DEBATE on PENSIONS.
The debate on the deficiency bill was
more than ordinarily spicy and exciting,
as II was largely devoted to a discussion
of the pension policy OF the administra-
tion. But interest in i. was dwarfed by
what happened when the President's mes
sage was read.
Mr.. breckenridge closed the debate.
The bill was then read by sections for
amendments, but before this was COM
pleted MIR. Breckinridge moved that the
committee rise.
When the Speaker had taken the chair
and the usual report had been made by
