The Murphy Resolution Passes the Senate
by : Coed ia jority.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-When Sen
ator Harris resolution for the appoint
ment of Senator White Of California to
the vacancy on the finance committee
was laid before the senate at 1915, fir.
Henderson rep, Neb.) said there
would be no objection to the resolution,
and explained that the opposition Fri
day contained no reflection on the Cali
fornia senator, Mr. White.
Mr.. Hill concurred with Mr. Mander-
pu1r, ezzrr7rJt ttffrz lirUIJe tt15rt the resoIu-
tion would be passed. It was then
adopted without division. The Murphy
resolution declaring against further
tariff legislation went over temporarily
at the request Of Mr.. Gornan.
4 Little Parliamentary Debate.
The resolution Of Mr. Gray, (Dem.,
Del. instructing the finance committee
to report back the free sugar bill with
an amendment to strike out the one
eigth difTerential on refined sugar, was
laid before the senate. Mr.. Manderson
offered an amendment instructing the
committee to report an amendment pro-
viding for the sugar bounty of the exist
ing law.
Mr.. Gray demanded a division on the
question. Some debate occurred on the
parliamentary situation.
Vice President Stevenson held that
the vote should be first taken on Mr..
Manderson's amendment to the free
sugar bill, providing for the Mckinley
bounty on raw domestic sugars. Great
interest was manifested in the result of
the roll call. The two Louisiana sena-
tors and the three Populists voted in
favor of the Henderson amendment.
The Manderson amendment providing
for the Mckinley bounty in the free
sugar bill was carried q to 90, the point
of no quoruLn being then raised, and
the roll was again called.
The call developed the presence of "a
senators, / more than quorum.
At the request Of Senator German the
Gray -Manderson resolution was tenn
porarily laid aside, Senator Aldrich
stating that be thought voting quo
rum would appear in two hours
Senator Murphy then called up his
resolution declaring against further
tariff legislation at this session.
AIr. Murphy offered an amendment
to his resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the senate that no further tariff
LEGISLATION should bo considered at this
session, and that it was advisable to ad-
iourn at the earliest possible moment.
Without a word of debate the vote was
taken on the resolution as modified. It
passed by a vote Of 81 to IS.

wednesday, Aug. Is.

For five hours during the day the senate
debated the question of proceeding inn
mediately to the consideration of the
house bill placing sugar on the free list
Senator Vest made a sensational speech
in which he gave history of the tariff
conference, and justified the senate con-
ferees, railing with frenzy against the
president and other calumniators. He
favored immediate consideration of the
sugar bill and either placing that article
on the free list or abolishing the differen-
tial. Jones of Arkansas offered an
amendmeas making fat duty of 80 per
cent on all sugars.
The house passed few minor bills and
discussed conference reports.

INVESTIGATION OF THE CONDITION
OF THE EMPLOYEES

Now Being Pushed by the Presidential
Commission Wages Cut &c Per Cent

CHICAGO, Aug. l6.-Chairman Heath
cote of the Pullman strike committee
was before the strike commissioners
during the afternoon session. He
showed table of the Pullman wages,
and claimed that wages had been cut go
per cent in the last two years. He also
exhibited what he claimed was black
list issued by the Pullman officials, re-
questing other institutions to refuse to
employ the men whose names appeared
thereon.
Miss Jennie Curtis, president of the
girls union at Pullman, testified i'll the
afternoon. Her father had been i'll the
employ of the Pullman company for 10
years, until shortly before his death last
year. He was delinquent in his rent to
the amount of $50. The company com

IN 1898 the company was paying it's
girls 2215 cents an hour for sewing, and
the poorest seamstress earned $3.50 a
day. Before the strike the best Of them
had got down to 70 or 50 cents day,
while the poorer needleWomen could
make only 40 to so cents.
Theodore Rhode, representing the
painters department, followed Miss
Curtis. He had worked for the com
pany 13 years and had been gradually
cut down until he could not make $1.25
day. Foremen abused the men and
the management experimental with the
wages until pieceWorkers could make
nothing. He had not applied for work
since the strike because the company
compelled every man to surrender his

union and sign an agreement to have
nothing to do with any labor organiza

Formation of Silver Mines.

The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must be remembered that the earth's
crust is full of water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from them
These chemical solutions take up small
PARTICLES of the precious metal, which
they find here and there. Sometimes
the solutions in question are hot, the
water having got so far down as to be
sat boiling by the internal heat of the
globe. Then they rush upward, picking
up the bits of metal as they 60. Natur-
ally heat assists the performance of this
operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith-
or below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rock, where
they deposit their loads of silver. This
is kept up for great length of time
perhaps thousands of years-until the

THE BLUE JAY AS A NUT
CRACKER.

In the Scientific American of June 16,
1894, correspondent describes the feat
OF blue jay in killing and eating a
snake. In western Oregon the blue jay
varies his Summer diet with hazel nuts.
The only nut native to Oregon ESQ far as
l know known as hazel nut, and is
little smaller than flbert, which it
very much resembles. Itripens in July.
The bird carries the nut to log or fence
post and first strips off the outer husk.
Then, getting firm hold of it with his
feet, he hammers away with his bill until
he either cracks the shell or cuts hole

trick in either case, as the shell is very
hard and requires quite blow to crush
l.. Few persons to whom l have men
toned this have ever seen it done, but it
may be observed by any one who will get
into the brush where blue jays and
hazel nuts are plentiful when the nuts
are ripening, and listen for the sounds.

small boy who AYERS that the bird has

Mounting Photographs.

The satisfactory mounting of photo
graphs is troublesome operation, and
the following suggestion from con-
tributor to The Outlook may be of as
sstance to amateurs: II have found a
method by which photograph or en-
craving can be mounted on the thinnest
paper without curling or wrinkling. If
the picture is photograph, it should
be ironed out smooth with hot iron
and then trimmed. Mix a little gum
arabic in hot water so as to make a
rather thick mucilage. Place the pic
ture Oh the page in position and mark
just inside the corners. Remove the
picture and take some of the mucilage
on a ruling pen and draw heavy line
of mucilage from one point to another,
so as to make line of mucilage all
around the place where the picture is to
be. AS soon as the mucilage is sticky
put the picture in place a1d book over
it to keep it fiat. When dry, you will
have a smooth mount that will not
curl"

will see the great light,-the light of the day that

2) V. IS. The old prophet in his thought
leaped into the future,-and what he there filled
him with exultation.-It is grand faith,-both
Isaah-like and Christan,-to believe that in follow
ing Gods lead it will always be BETTER FURTHER
ON. The great problem of evil, with its impenetra-
bic mysteries, belongs to God. He sees the end he
saw it from the beginning.
(3) V.6,7. The special child Israel had in his
thought, we convinced, was the boy-prince Hez-
ekah.-And Hezekiah, the Bible history tells US,
was one of the good kings" of Judah; he reigned
twenty-nine years and fulfilled the prophecy which
Isaiah had made.-It was during Hezekiah's
reign, "a King IS; 1910 So that the Assyran army
under Sennacherib, while on its way to assault Je
rusalem, met its strange and overwhelming destruc-
ton; this event being the historical parallel as lsa

the three hundred under Gideon. Our lesson-pas

CAN ANTS TALK?

/ was one day standing in my garden
near the trunk of an old willow tree, up
which scattered line of ants was crawl
ing. After time I observed an occa-
sional straggler coming down in the
opposite direction. Here and there a
couple of ants ascending and descend
ing, CHANGED to meet. but there was no
stoppage and no talk. Presently, at
about five feet from the ground, /
smeared little hollow in the trunk
with large spoonful of thick treacle. to
see how long it would remain undiscov-
cred. l then went away for short time
and on my return found about dozen
ants busily feasting on the treasure. A
minute or two later one of the feasters
crawled slowly down the trunk with
heavy feet and when near the ground
met friend, whom he suddenly arrested
on his way up, and with his antenne,
which he piled vigorously, held good
talk. What was said l know not; but
the friend knew, and thereupon marched
steadily up on the tree to the newly
found treasure, Meanwhile, the bearer
of the good tidings made his own way
quickly back to the neet few yards off
in the grass, to which l watched him.
He was soon lost to view, but, beyond
all doubt, soon spread the news of treas
ure-trove throughout the colony. Within
half an hour of that time long un.
broken line Of hungry ants was marching
direct to the tree, making straight for
the feast remaining there for time, and
then returning to the nest in another
line on the other side of the willow.
This process, of ascending and descend
ing termites went on for some hours; in
fact until dusk, when the numbers of
advancing guests grew less and less, and
finally ceased. Before it was dark not
single ant was to be seen, though early
the next morning fresh band of adven.
turers set out in the same fashion, COM
ing and going all day until every NOR
sci of the sweets had disappeared.
Here, therefore, clearly some talk about
the surprising dainty had taken place
between the two ants meeting on the
road to it, while tidings had been car
ried to the colony, which at once reused
all the inmates to go forth direct to the
feast, possibly led by the very guide who
had first discovered it. So much for
the general intelligence which enlight-
ems and guides the whole life and work
of this wise and enlightened nation of
insects.-Quiver.

INTRODUCTION.
ISAIAH 9: 1T.

Christmas comes to us, if we have
hearts to receive it, like summer-day in
winter. 1t comes to quicken precious
memories and to confirm the better hopes.
Who in this age can doubt that
God meant we'll by the world when he gave
to 1t the child Jesus? Whatever criticism
may do with records or traditions, no criti
cism can ever make doubtful the fact that
the coming of Christ into human history
was, in the aggregate of its effects, an event
unparalleled for purifying and uplifting in
fuences. Some neutrality-suspicious. of
Christianity, we must believe, have been
so false and dreadful, that Christianity
thus masked has been scarcely an improve
ment on the pagan errors it has superseded;
but even under this mask of error some
signs of the true Gospel have always been
discerned; behind the bigot's hate and the
creedman's despair has remained the pro-
test of the historic Child who came as the
benediction of the Father on his children.
Christ came as the fulfilment of the
Desire of all Nations Especially had he
in dim outline been foreseen and prayed
for by the prophets of Israel; while Israel
itself was the supreme prophecy of his COM
ing. Now through the mists of nineteen
Christian centuries we look back to that
day-spring from on high; and there we see
the worlds spiritual dawn. We rejoice in
the prophecy then fulfilled we rejoice yet
more in the prophecy then Who
can doubt that God means well by the
world in still keeping the memory of the
birth of Christ green through the ages?
The Christ Child is yet to lead the nations.
May he lead us, as his servants and proph-
cts, in this Christmas season. May we
welcome the spirit of GOODWILL TO MAN"
so freely to our hearts, that all our grudges
and spites will flee away. May our gifts
and our greetings be sanctifed, as confes-
sions of our faith in the Fathers goodwill
to all his children.

This is a very omprehensiyework.
With the mind of one whose conf

ophy. The divine and human rela-
tons are presented In manner
that satisfies the understanding, and
appeals to the heart. The believer

Is broughtnearer to belief. There is
no dogmatism. but the various sub
jeots. which point to the beneficenee
OF God ARE treated in that broad and
liberal manner natural to one who
takes a rounded view of humanity.
and looks upon God as true father
rather than a theological mystery.
This book will recommend itself 10
readers of all denominations; and 10

Minneapolis, April Ex-Governor Mel
son has made a proposal that the
Great Northern road and strikers each
appoint three members of a. board of
arbitration, and these six name the
seventh. President Hill has accepted
the proposition for the railroad, and
the men are considering.
A copy of Governor Nelson's letter
to President Hill was sent to President
Debs, Of the union. Governor Nelson S
letter, while conciliatory, plainly de-
cides that at all hazards the law must
be maintained and that property of
the company must be protected.
This is taken as a warning to the
strikers that if they refuse the arbitra-
ton proposed they will be held to strict
account for all violations Of the law.
When asked what answer would be
made to the proposal for arbitration,
President Debs said:
4 can't be sure, because 1 am not
authorized to speak for the American
Railway Union. Our committee will
be here tomorrow morning. They will
be authorized to speak for the men. I
can't say for sure that arbitration will

committee. Still, will advise them to

All was quiet at Wilmar today, but
ten arrests were made at Barnesville
and more will follow at various points
along the line Of the road.
