AS the bank had gone out Of business

the presentation Of the usual number of
circumstances against the Wilson tariff
bill, q private bill, for the refunding of
a small amount wrongfully collected for

attention for nearly half an hour and
was finally placed on the Gale ndar.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Call for an examination into the con-
diti IN of the civil service Of the United
States and as to the expediency OF it's
retrenchment or its increase, was laid
before tho Senate, and Berry expressed
his hostility to any further extension
of the civil service, char &C terizing tho
whole business as a great humbug.

The general subject Of civil! service
was taken up by several Senators. and
was sill under discussion when the
morning hour expired at 3 p. m. Tho
resolution vert over without action.
and the House bill to repeal the Federal
election laws was taken up as the I'M
finished business
Chandler offered an amendment as an
additional section, giving party candi-
dates for Congress the righ7 to appoint
watcher mt tho polls in each pr cinct,
and argued in favor of it.
Palmer laid it down as his theory
that the people in every State, township
and election district had The right
Intensely YES to control and regulate and
conduct their own elt C ions. The people
were peaceful; they were int ligent;
they loved liberty; they loved law and
order, and they appreciated the value OF
free government. Hence there was no
occasion for invoking the federal pJwer.
In response to Grav's question as to
when final vote on this bill could be
taken Chandler said he was willing to
go on with the debate in the ebsencs Of
the senior Senator from New York, the
cause Of whose absence the Democrats
probably knew When he returned,
Chandler said. he would proceed with
the debate and let il come to vote at
the earliest possible moment.

Exit Paper.

1t has been predicted that the year 1900
will usher in the century of aluminium,
and a French writer goes still further and
says that, while the older metals have one
advantage or other over aluminium for spe-
cial uses and will hold their ground. paper
is doomed. Already aluminium can be
rolled in sheets of one-tenth of MILL
meter in thickness C004 inch), and in this
form the metal weighs less than cardboard
and even less than certain papers. The
Frenchman promises that the thickness
shall be reduced by half very shortly, and
then, as he puts it, fini du papierl Books
and their covers, letter paper Of every de-
scription, public and private documents,
will be printed or written on the metal,
which will not oxide. which is fire and wa
terproof and which the stoutest worm can
make no impression upon.
