These bills touch a variety OF interests.
and can always be 80 manipulated as
To kill much time.
When the last session adjourned. the
measures attracting most attention
were the supplemental tarlff or free raw
material bills They had passed the
house and had been favorably reported,
with material amendments. by the SEN
ate committee on finance To the senate.
While majority OF democrats ap-
peared friendly TO those bills there was
II considerable element IN that party op-
pos, d To their consideration, as were
practically the republican senators.
This sentiment was able TO prevent the
scnate's taking up the bills previous TO

Representatives of the latter class do
not hesitate to declare that whatever
the policy OF the democratic majority,
they will be able 10 prevent serious con-
rideration OF these bills because OF the
Bhort session. They also claim that IL
vote on IL should be reached there
would be a majority against them.
II should be stated, however, that
there Is division OF opinion among the
opponents OF the free sugar bill, and
that some republicans and some con-
bervative democrats have expressed
Willingness to allow this bill TO become

 have sympathy for Adam led astray by all the newborn beauty of the blushing Eve; for the Greeks and Trojans that gave their lives for the love of Helen; for Mark Antony, ruined by his love for Cleopatra; for the sailors that were wrecked by the songs of the sirens for Acteon, changed into a stag and hunted by his own hounds for looking at the bathing Diana; for Lcander, that died swimming the Hellespont for his love; for Peeping Tom, who gave his eyes for one look at the naked Godiva; for Abelarde, who gave his soul for Elose; for Hyacinthe, that spurned the church for woman; for Beecher, who tumbled to the racket of Bessie Turner; for Parnell, dazed and bewildered by the beauty of woman, and last for Breckinridge. who dissolved his family ; pearls in wine, then drank the wine, and in wild intoxication laid himself for immolaton on the shrine of a brilliant Kentucky woman, but may the gods paralyze my tongue and rob my right hand of it's cunning if ever again speak or write on6 word or ono letter in de- fense of the man who could spend his nights in the gambling hells of Lexington with igno- rant masculine toughs and roughs and then pose as a moralist by blasting Billy Breckin- ridge.

ANOTHER VERSION
OF THE SINKING OF THE CHINESE TRANS
 PORT BY LAPS.

OF THE SINKING OF THE CHINESE TRANs-I
 PORT BY LAPS.
 SHANGHAI, July 30.-It is understood that China will not formally declare war until the vessels and ammunition which she has ordered abroad shall have gotten safely into Chinese ports. The transports Nice Foo and Toonan, which the Chinese feared had been captured, have arrived at Chee Foo. Sixty torpedoes were sent up the kian -Gyin channel of the Yang-tse- Kiang.
 The forty-one survivors of the Row Shing disaster, who were picked up and landed at Chee Foo by tbe French gum boat Lion, tell a story differing il few details from previous accounts of tue Kew Shing's end. When the Japanese began the attack they say, the Row Shing bore away for safety. The Japanese war ship drove her into bay so shallow that the Chinese captain hove to rather than run the risk of running aground.
 Several Japanese officers then came aboard to say that they had orders to sink the ship and to offer to take off the Chinese officers and crew. The Chinese captain de- clined the offer. The Japanese repeal ed it, but the captain persisted in his refusal even to consider it. The Japanese then left the ship, which went down but few minutes after being struck with torpedo. The sur- vivors, who are almost exclusively coolies, con firm the report that not an officer was saved,
