little legal fiction it is not, for il is

1t was so treated In this way that the

cess 1t will be reported to the Senate for
final action. When it is il can
again be gone through with by par
agraphs, IN sections or as n

the action of the Senate in committee
OF the whole does not necessarily implv
that the Senate will take like action. and
there is quite likely 10 be many bitter
fights before the bill is passed. For
example, when the free wool para
graph was p reached it was not
discussed by the Senate in COM
mittee on Wednesday but by the
express request of Senator Sherman all
debate and amendments were dispensed
with until "the entire matter is con-
sidered in the Senate" thus transferring
the fight on free wool until the bill is
legally before the Senate as the Senate
and not as committee. =.

of the bill in the COMMITTEES Of the whole

"A Ridiculous Error.

There will be no danger of q water
famine In Providence, should the city
decide TO adopt the natural tlter, as one
might reasonably expect from ridiculous
statement which appeared in yes
terday's issue OF THE News.
There was q description in detail
OF the proposed sand filtration plant,
which, with one exception, was accura te
In all its statements. That mistake was a
trifie of something like Is, ,999, ,8S4 gallons of
water out OF the way. In other words, the
daily output of the filter of purified water
for the city's use Will be i6,OOO,OOO GAL

the word "millions" yesterday and made
the rash statement that the 100 900 regular

transient visitors would have to take

DID HE MEAN Tor

Nice-Pre sident Stevenson has for the
first time since he took his seat shown
that he possesses some kind of backbone
by certifying to the district attorney the
cases OF President III. O. Havemeyer and
Secretary John q. Searles of the Sugar
Trust, who refused to give to the Senate
Sugar Trust investigating committee
the details of the Trusts political
contributions. BY so doing he over
ruled the Democratic members of the
committee and sustained the Republican
and Populst members. The two Demo-
Gratis, Senators Gray and Lindsay, op-
posed the certifcation for criminal pros
ecution of the Trust magnates, while
they insisted upon the certifcation of the
newspaper men. Whether Adlai has
simply blundered into doing good
thing or whether il was done "inten-
tional" he certainly deserves the thanks
OF the people. Whether indictments will
be found is a question that the Trust
can probably tell now. 1t Ger.
tainly ought to be as easy to- handle a
jury as it was the United States Senate,
and the way they bossed the Senate is a
matter OF public and daily record.

by treaty with Great Britain for the
arbitration Of all differences not adjusted
by diplomatic means, has been COM

Fan Mall Gazette, and curious to relate,
1t is the latter, owned by William Wal
dorf Astor, which alone opposes the pro-
ject.
The Chronicle says OF the resolution
that 1T gives positive shape TO pious

but our Anglicised American million
are kicks over the traces in his indigna-

this desire to avoid any future war, a
disposition on Uncle Sans part to rob
England, 10y the aid of hostile powers,
and so his paper declares that. Senator
Allison's resolution means that, il the
United states should claim a part of

A COMICAL SITUATION.

The Hartford Post calls attention to
the fact that there is something deci-
dedly comical in the new position which
Senator Hill has acquired in the New
York Democracy. The anti-snapper ell
ement, which has SO long worshiped Mr..
Cleveland and denounced Mr.. Hill. is
just now engaged in denouncing the
income tax and Senator Hill is
the only Democrat who has the courage
to attack it. In other words he is de-
Tending the anti-snappers from the
Cleveland element. They admit thar
he does 1T in masterful way. They are
ringing his praises as Vigorously
as they denounced him not long
ago. But If Cleveland should
sign the income tax the anti.
snapper organs would doubtless come
around and declare that it was the great
est act of the great life of this great man
and they would proceed to make Hill a
culprit. Such is the mugumpian way
OF doing things"
But the Mugwumps are almost as ex-
tinct today as the American bisons. A
few are still alive, but they arc kept
merely for curiosity, not for use. No
one has any use for them.
