ner, having taken his place with the utmost
humility, he takes part in the conversation,
addressing freely not only his master. but
guests of the highest rank. To one unac-
quainted with the customs of Chinese society
the master and servant would appear to lie
upon perfectly equal terms. As soon as the

with the most profound obeisapce and defer

To the Editor OF IHE TIMES:
Why is it that with all our boast of class leg
islation one body of workmen in government
employ can get more privileges than others
equally deserving? 1t may be a little more ex-
pensive TO do justice, but in the long run it Is
not The navy yard employees work as hard as
their brothers and sisters in the Swamp, although
not in danger of having a building falling on
them, and We are now agitating for simple JUS
tice the same as the letter carriers, the clerks
the printers, and others. 1t took nearly twenty
years to get proper enforcement of the eight
hour law, and even if those who come after US
succeed in getting the goddess to wink toward

A Fish Story,

''This seems strange. I'll admit" said the
second mate of coastwise steamer in a west
side saloon recently. "but it's true"
II was mate on board sailing vessel ply
ing between New York and Rio. The day
before we sailed on one occasion we noticed a
school Of minnows swimming about the
kitchen portfolio. from which the cook threw
out Stops and scraps. The fish remained
with us day by day We were sixty days
making Rio, and. would you believe it, the
fish had grown from minnows to ten and
twelve Founders when we at last threw anchor
in Rio harbor? Who's a.? I can prove
it."-New York Herald.

CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.


During the debate OF Thursday and Friday,
while the Catholic controversy over the Indian
schools feature in the Indian appropriation
bill was on, Mr.. O'Neill. of Boston, a Catholic,
has been in the chair. It may have been an
accident, or it may have been intentional, to
show that no disputes on the floor will allow
religious questions TO come into Congress.
Mr.. Dunphy. Of New York. expresses him.
sdf as very much pleased with the fact that
President Cleveland had signed his New York
and New Jersey bridge bill, news of which he
received yesterday morning.
Mr.. Dunphy thinks the work will be pushed
rapidly, and the great twin structure to the
Brooklyn bridge soon be accomplished.
Colonel Breckenridge did NOT appear in the
House yesterday.
Representative Black, of Georgia, said
yesterday that he understood the minority
report on the Atlantic Cotton Exposition
appropriation would be strong one, and
whatever the result might be, the effort Of
such action would hamper the passage OF the
bill.
A number of southern Democrats are
opposed to it as being sectional, and hence
un-Democratic.
Representative Joseph Fl. Walker, Of Massa-
chusetts. is always willing to use his pen or
his voice in favor of monetary reforms. Just
at present he is very much interested in the
matter of having proper textbooks for IN
struction in economical studies used In our
larger educational Institutions. He declares
that all the books on the subject now in use
are rehash of old theories, and that none
Of them exhibit any trace OF original thinking.
He further insists that they are based on de-
ductive and not inductive reasoning. and as
such ought TO be cast aside. Mr.. Walkers
little book on money, trade, and business Is
now in use in a number of educational in
stitutions.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels was
one OF the visitors at the Capitol yesterday.
Mr. Eckels thinks that the outlook for all
business will be much improved in few
months-as soon as the tariff bill effects are
apparent, and says that so far as the banks
are concerned. they are now on better basis
than they have been for long time.
Mr.. Eckeis is considerably worn out by the
hard work Of the past year. during which he
has had little rest or vacation. He is going
away soon for a brief trip.

IN The HOUSE,
Already Necessary to Repeal One Portion Of
the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.-The House took
up the Senate amendment to the general de-
ficieDcy bill providing for the payment of
Judgments of 81 100000 in favor Of the
Southern Pacific RHiroad Co., feRi trans
portation of troops, mails and merchandise
for United States The appropriation was
advocated by Boatner and Blair; opposed
by Snodgrass, Cooper, Kyle ana Cultivate.
Reed asked Onthwaite some very caustic
questions about his interest in the Britirh
owners in the road. Bill went over.
McMillin reported from the committee on
ways and means, with recommendation that
it be passed, the bill introduced by Nc
Millin repeating so much of the tariff bill
as authorizes the payment of rebates of the
tax on alcohol used in arts. A letter was
read from Internal Revenue Commissioner
Miller, urging the passage of the bill, on the
ground that the provision is likely to lead to
an unexpected and unintentional serious
diminution of the revenue, if not the practi-
cal destruction of the revenue schedule.
Burrows called attention to the necessity
of having the tariff bill signed by the Presi-
dent before this bill, else embarrassing
consequences might ensue.
McMillin responded: "He's our Presi-
dent and will look after that" va a #jr.
Burrows expressed satisfaction at the
statement. The bill was passed, 145 to 8.
The Speaker announced the enrolment and
signing of the sundry civil appropriation
bill. The House adjourned until Monday.

Queen Victoria's Family Name.

In answer to a question which seems to
be n source of discussion among not few
people-namely, What would be Queen
Victoria's name irrespective of her own and
Prince Albcrt's titles?'-the New York
Sun says: If Queen Victoria had occasion
to use family name, we believe it would
be Victim, so far as it would be anything
She was Guelph or Welt by birth and
married Albert Won Victim. So she
would be now Mrs. Albert Won Victim, or
Victim, if she followed the ordinary rule
But continental royal families seldom if
ever have any surnames. The British and
Scotch royal familics-the old oncs--are
exceptions. Thus the old royal house of
Franco was ''of Bourbon, ''of Orleans. "
The kings of Prussia belong to the family
of Hohcnzollern. Not one of these
princes is called Louis Bourbon, Louis
Orleans, William Hohenzollorn. The Brit
ish royal house is British only because it
lives and rules in Great Britain. 1t Is
wholly German in ancestry for nearly 800
years and follows continental customs.
