Gladstone has always been a hard
worker, but he was never so busy
that he could not find time to take
bodily exercise and sufficient
rest and sleep, while the average

forces him to do so. Our life is
too fast and passed at too high a

together with the remarks on the

me Of an incident in a novel | read |
recently-a book which, by the
way, has attracted general atten-
tion--"The Heavenly Twins"
The heroine, an Englishwoman, is
spending the winter in Malta and
forms a friendship with a distin
guished American diplomatist.
In the course OF their many con.
versations the American remarks
that he fails to understand why
the English nation. with its broad
ideas of liberty and equality, tel
crates such an expensive sinecure
as the Royal family. The answer
of his fair friend is one in the
spirit of which the country should
reply to this bill and to the hon.
orable member from Texas.
Said she: "Sir, we love the Royal
family and we can well afford the
luxury"
The American people are not
in sympathy with any move nent
which will imply penuriousness,
and the sooner the politicians find
it out the better it will be. both
for them and the country. Elk
travagance is not wanted, but the
greatness Of the nation should not
be insulted by the suggestion that
it cannot afford to provide for
those who have grown gray in its
service.

1t is announced that the Com

Of providing for the expenses Of

were honest, the burden Of taxa
ton could by this means be put
upon those best able to bear it,
but the ease with which the
amount of ones income can be

upon the evasion Of obligation to

1t is true that a deficiency is

temporary. The pension roll is

The discussion of the bill opened up
several interesting and important cues
tions, among them being the eugsr

The discussion of the sugar bounty
question was brought about BY the
omission from the pendiag bill of the

WASHINGTON, May 18.-White-winged
peace lowered over the senate today.
As q result OF the compromise reached
at last nights drawn battle. the resolu-
tion to inaugurate longer hours. begin
ming next Monday, commencing at 10
a. m. was agreed to, and the senate, for
the first time since the tariff debate be-
gan, settled down to real earnest work
on the schedule Of the tariff. For five
hours the consideration was steadily
pushed, the result being IL pages of the
bils were disposed OF more progress
than has been made in the entire three
weeks during which the bill has been
considered by paragraphs. The "chem-
ical schedule" was compl eted and the
earth, earthenware and glass schedule.
except it was 1SS4-92 inclusive which
were passed over by the agreement, was
finished. Schedule GO" metals and
manufacturs of iron and steel, had
been reached when the senate, at 5
O'Clock, went into executive session.
The Republicans won their first battle
today in their effort to secure higher
rates than those granted by the major
ity. They induced the Democrats to
take rough building and monu men,
tai stone, limestone, free stone,
granite. sandstone, etc.. from the
free list and place them ON the
dutiable list at cents per cubic foot.
and to increase the duty on this class of
dressed stone from 20 to 80 per cent ad
valorem.
The feature of the day was the denial
OF half dozen Republican senators that
any agreement had been reached to al
low the bill ultimately to come to vote,
and the bold announcement of Messrs.
Frye and Dolph that they stood ready to
go to any length and use any parlia-
mentsry methods to defeat the passage
of the bill.
The amendments agreed to fixed these
rates: Cosmetics and like preparations,
40 per cent: CASTLE soap, psrfumed, 35
per cent; bicarbonate of soda. ~ cents

bottom. Mr.. Dunphy said the frauds,
for which the government had already
paid the Carnegie company $4,000,
occurred between November, 1892, and
September, 1898. The same class OF
evidence, he said, showed that similar
irregu larities occurred prior to Novem-
ber, 1892, and subsequently to Ssptem-
Der, 1893. 1t was further urged that
the investigation now being made by
officers OF the navy department would
be futile, as there was no power to sum
mon witnesses or to administer osths to
those who voluntarily appeared. Mr..
Dunphy had statistics showing that
81, SOC, 900 would soon fall due to the
Carnegie company. The payment could
not be delayed, and If once made it
would cut off an Investigation and de-
Htroy all means of redress.
Speaker Crisp and his associates on
the committee questioned Mr.. Dunphy
on the details of the alleged frauds. He
specified one instance in which an srmor
plate on the Monterey is said to contain
a blow hole 18 inches long. The man
who saw the hole when the plate was
cast, it is alleged, dropped his card in
the hole and is ready to locate the de-
fectivs plate and identify it by his card.
The committee took no action, but Mr..
Dunphy believes they will report back
the resolution with recommendation
that will start the investigation at once.

Capital News.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The tariff man
ayers of the houss have determined to
take no further steps toward offsetting
the tariff increases in sugar and other
tariff amendments to the appropriation
bills. The purpose has been to amend
the legislative appropriation bill spprov-
ing making sugar free.
Representative Breckinridge OF Ar
kansas, of the ways and means commit
tee, recently proposed new resolution
permitting tariff amendments to appro-
priation bills. Chairman Sayres of the
appropriation committee and Repre-
sentative Carey introduced similar bills.
These various bills went to the commit
tee on rules, where they have not been
acted upon. Notwithstanding this fact.
called up today, and it will be passed
without any tariff riders. In deciding
on this course the tariff leaders in the
house concluded it would be unwise to
take any step which might embarrass
the tariff bill as whole in the senate.
They say, however, that the introduce
tion OF the Breckinridge rnle has had
the effect OF influencing the Louisiana
action. Having accomplished this much.
the house leaders do not think it advlss.
bic to openly recontest ON sugar until
the senate goes further along on the
bill.
This conclusion applies to sugar
duties. but not to the bounty. 1t is
said the abolition of the bounty NAV be
done without lew rule, as it is the
privilege of sny member to offer q
bounty amendment.
TO RE SENTENCED.
Commonweal leaders Coxey, Browne
and Jones have been again defeated in
the courts and sentence will be passed
upon them tomorrow. After arguments
lasting over an hour this afternoon.
Judge Bradley of the district supreme
court refused to grant the writ of certi-
rari, for which application was made
several days ago.
BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
1t is probable the senate committee
appointed to investigate the charges of
attempted bribery of Senators Kyle
and Hunton and the alleged operations
OF the sugar trust to injure legislation
will begin its sittinge early next week.
1t is probable the committee will hold
open sessions.
