Washington, Aug. 1.-THE long
close at 6 o'clock last night when the
house, by a vote of 1S2 to 105, decided
to discharge the house cOnfereeS from
further consideration Of the bill, to re-
cede from its opposition to the 634 sen
ate amendments, and to agree to the
same.
1t vas a complete victory for the
senate. The house made an absolute
surrender.
The result grew directly out of the
sensational course of events at the
senate and capitol precipitated by
Senator Hill Friday. Up to that time
the house cOnferees had stood firm
against the senate amendments eSpe-
Ially on the three disputed schedules,
coal, iron ore and sugar and the tenn
ter an voice of the house was for war
war to the end. But the indications
were that the democrats of the SEN
ate might be unable to longer hold d
majority of the votes in line for even
the senate bill and the fact that the
Dill was IN desperate jeopardy
forced the house democrats to imme-
date action.
The scenes in the chamber through
out the day and evening were exciting
and at times sensational.
The principal speeches were made by
Chairman Wilson, and Speaker Crisp
on the one hand and EX-Speaker Reed
and Mr.. Burrows, on the other. BOurke
Cochran and Mr.. TarSney, both demo
Gratis of the ways and means commit
tee, delivered Scathing and sensational
speeches denouncing the surrender of
the house as coWardly and mdefensi-
bic. The speaker replied to Mr.. Cock
ran with so much temper that the lat
ter took it as a personal affrOnt, al.
though the speaker disclaimed such an
Intention, and made a vicious lunge at
Speaker Crisp.
There was no attempt on the part of
the democratic leaders to claim a vic
tory. They all admitted they accepted
the inevitable, justifying their action
on the ground that the senate bill was
better than the Mckinley bill.

Big Newspaper Circulation in Paris.

Big Newspaper Circulation in Paris.
In Paris we count about seventy
large daily papers, and 5000 other
periodicals. The Petit Journal leads
with a daily circulation Of 1,450,OO0
copies; the Petit Partisan follows with
100000. The Figaro has the largest
circulation Of the big dailies, with $780,
600. Among the reviews we find the
Revue DIES Deux Mondes (Brunetiere
chief EDITOR, and the Nouvelle Revue,
which belongs to MINNIE. Adam (Juli-
cite Lambert.) 1t is very hard to give
a fair estimate in number of the Par
isian journalists, but according to the
census of 1890 not less than 10000
writer's contribute to the newspapers.
Journalism Is a profession highly re-
spected in France, and every man who
has a name In literary, scientific, arts
tic or political circles is or has been a
journalist. Vacquerie, the chief editcr
Of the Rappel during the last thirty
years., refused lately a seat at the

Hints.

Clothespins exposed to dirt or dust
make the clothes suffer accordingly.
The best busters are made of yard
wide cheese cloth cut square and neat
ly hemmed.
Letting clothes hang after they are
dry, or letting them hang through Il
storm or in windy weather, is not
conducive to long wearing.
Smoky mica in stove doors may be
cleansed by slipping it out and putting
1t to soak In a dish of vinegar for a
few hours, then removing and polish

Never give opiates to children if It
can possibly be avoided. The brains
of children are peculiarly susceptible
to the influence and are prone to in.
fammation and congestion. The small,
est dose of opium in any form will
sometimes cause fatal results.
Ammonia is very cleansing. 1t has

Paint. however old and dry it may
be, can be removed from carpets OF
draperies by a liberal use of chloro
form. Saturate the spot, keep it close,
ly covered for half an hour. then brush
out. The liquid destroys the oil in the
paint, leaving only a powder that usu,
ally comes out, with no stain unless
on very delicate fabrics. In obstinate
cases the application may need to be
repeated several times.

Are Romantic Marriages Prudent:
Marriage in the old world is general
ly a matter Of arrangement; Is conduct
ed. more or less financially, Oh the bas-
is of what is called common-sense.
Marriage usually results in the New
World from personal affinity, from
some intense form Of emotionalism. in
dependent Of material conditions or
favoring circumstances. We Ameri-
cans are more romantic, ~connubially,
than any other people under the sun.
We are gradually less so as the repub-
lie ages, but we are still inclined to
consult our feelings rather than our
reason in choosing mates.
Romance is an excellent thing in ma
trimony, but it may be carried too far
in determining the question. When it
survives matrimony, and is found to be
a large ingredient in its composition
after years Of continuance, it is as
beautiful as it is c~ommendable. 1t Is
greatly enjoyed by the married, and
warmly admired by their intimates.
But, as ar ule. the less dominant ro-
nance is in making a match, the larger
is its influence after sobriety has set
in. Young persons will seldom believe
this, however, and they have to learn
it therefore by painful experience.
They declare that they love, and love
is, in their partial opinion, sufficient
warrant for any conjugal, enterprise,
even in the face Of the most adverse
fortune. Where love is, faith and hope
are, and to the three combined every
thing desired is possible, and most
things certain. They are in a state of
ecstasy, and the hard world is moulded
and mellowed by their enraptured Wis.
ion.
They obstinately refuse to accept as
true the assurance that wedlock must
depend for its outcome on prosiac facts
and figures; that it belongs as much to
arithmetic as to sentiment; that love
itself may not always withstand pinch
ing penury and trials 1t begets. Those
who will tell them so are pronounced
doubters and cynics, and their warn
ings pass like the breeze. Alas! how
many couples have discovered, when
too late, what terrible prophets those
doubters and cynics have proved to be!
They would not heed when they should
have needed, and the time has passed
for regrets and contritions.
But there are always new couples
as confident and as obdurate as the old,
and there will be while the years go
on. Such couples are convinced be-
yond refutation that hearts and pulses
that leap together are an earnest of the
future. and a solid ground for co-opera-
tive observation-disclosures Bazaar.
