KILLING TIME IN THE SENATE.
The Republicans Start Their Tarif
Program.

Program.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Republi-
cans started their program when the
senate met yesterday. Mr. Quay was
entitled to the floor to continue his
tariff speech, but yielded to Mr.
Chandler, when the latter gave his
idea Of what the tariff bill would have
been had the Democrats been true to
the Chicago platform, and criticised
the bill in its present form as a long
remove from that declaration of
principles
When Mr.. Chandler took his seat
Mr.. Quay, Repu blican of Pennsylvania
resumed the speech which he has
been delivering in serial form for
the last two weeks. and at $3.50 p m
he asked the clerk to read a portion
of his speech.
Mr. Harris, who had been a1ertly
watching, raised a point of order
against clerk reading a senator's
speech
Mr.. Quay said he was somewhat
fRtigued, and thought a short respite
would relieve him He had no desire
to violate the rules
Mr.. Harris replied rather sharply
that he was glad to afford Mr.. Quay
any relief in his power, but when the
senator from Pennsylvania insisted
upon working speech by day and by
week he would have to insist he make
it himself
ssOh, very well, - retorted Mr. Quay,
good humoredly. II will proceed"
But there are more ways than one
of obtaining breathing spell in the
senate Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon
b1andly suggested the absence of a
quorum The bells rang. The sena-
tors came into the chamber from the
cloak rooms and coat rooms, and the
roll was called. Forty-six senators
responded. The senators were get
ting ready to return to the place
whence they had come when Senator
Quay moved to go into executive ses-
sion Most of them halted at the
doors and answered 20 their names,
and Mr.. Pugh of Alabama stretched
himself out on one of the sofas against
the wall sWhen the roll was called
ne answered without arising from his
comfortable position.

A SAD AFFAIR.

Three Persons Lose Their Lives BY Fsu1

two sons and a daughter-in-law Of
Sam Cannon, who lives near Cock

sons went down in the well and be-
came asphyxiated by foul air and the
younger brother went to his rescue

fate. The latter's wife became SO ex-

A Slicht Matrimonial Difficulty.

While two wedding professions were
fighting for the road at one of the gates
at Hankow, China, the chairs holding
the brides got mixed and each lady
was taken to the wrong bridegroom.
The gentlemen never having seen
their wives before, according to the
Chinese custom, knew no mistake.
When the next morning the mothers of
the two brides went to present the
usual hair oil to their daughters each
found a stranger installed in her place
Neither mother, moreover, had any
means of finding out where her daugh-
ter had gone. After very difficult
search of the city the brides were both
found, and then the idea of making
the best of things was blocked by the
fact that one of the brides, who was
rich and intended for rich husband,
had fallen into the hands of very
poor man. The problem remains I'M
solved

The deep sea thermometer, as in
vented abroad and improved by officers
of the United States navy, is a marvel
ously ingenious and effective contciv-
ance. 1t IS in effect self-regiStering
instrument, though not technically 50
called. The thermometer is so ar
ranged that it is automatically turned
upside down when the machinery be-
gins to draw it up from the depth at
which the temperature is to be ascer-
tanned. The effect of the inverting
process is to break the column of mer-
curry, and a small portion of the column
remains in the upper end of the
tube, exactly enough to measure the
temperature at the moment of inver-
sion. The tube is graduated SO as to
read from either end, and the quantity
of mercury in the upper part of the
tube is 50 small that it does not re-
spond to any but great and sudden
changes of temperature. 1t thus hap
pens that the reading, when the Their
mometer reaches the surface, is prac-
tically correct for the temperature at
the point of inversion.

France for Active Women.

In one of the United States reports
Consul Loomis, commenting on the
part taken by French women in bust
ness affairs, says there is perhaps no
other nation where the women take
70 intelligent and active a part in
these matters as they do in France.
In the small shopkeeping class the
women, as a rule, have much better
Judgment than their husbands AMI are
the real brains and life of the trade.
The wife of French tradesman, arti-
san or farmer is generally his cashier
and accountant. She takes care OF
the savings and invests them; she is
much brighter than her husband, a
good deal more industrious in a very
large number of instances, and does
not hesitate to assert herself, particu-
larly if she was the possessor of dot

FINE ARTS BIrILDING.

There are no holes in the floor, so to
speak, and it is noticeable by those
who visited the great Column bian Expo
Sition that even the exhibits which
we're seen there appear to have taken
On new form here in San Francisco,
and the exhibitors have undoubtedly
profited by the experience gained on
The shore of Lake Michigan. The
largest spaces in the center of the
great floor of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building are occupied by
France, Germany, Russia and Italy.
Each of these countries is represented
by display of artistic and useful
manufactures which has never before
been seen outside of the great Column
bian Exposition, and in most instances
the displays brought from there have
been augmented by new supplies
Or ought across the Atlantic and across
The continent especially for this dis
play.
But in the midst of all this that is
not new to everybody, there is SO
much in the Midwinter Exposition that
is universally unique and novel that
there is nothing of the "old story"
about it The American section is
particularly prolific in novelty, and it
occupies the largest place assigned to
any one country, so that the interna-
iional character of the Exposition by
10 means shuts out the Qualification
Of home industries in this beautiful in
lustrial fair.
The display of paintings in the Fine
Arts building is the most gratifying
feature of the Fair. 1t far exceeds in
size and merit anything ever seen in
This part of the world. The chief of
The fine arts department did not wholly
depend upon Chicago to furnish HIS
walls, though many of his canvases
came from the Columbian Exposition.
There are pictures by well-known
American, French and German artists,
and prominent among them are hun
bred of the works of the best artists on
the Pacific coast Connoisseurs say
that the Midwinter Art Palace is the
best arranged picture gallery that the
world has ever seen, and it certainly is
well adapted for the purpose to which
it is put.
In the eyes of eastern visitors the
sitrus display naturally attracts the
most attention. 1t seems to be good

straight lines of the Mechanic Arts
building are clear cut against the
background Of the night, the classic

nance the effect that structure always
has and the peculiarly effective archi-
lecture Of the great Palace of Manu-
features and Liberal Arts seems never
TO be seen at better advantage than
when its thousands of incandescent
electric lights are lighted
The horticulture and Agriculture
building, however, is the one that
seems to attract most attention in this
particular. This is perhaps due to the
fact that its lines contain more curves
and more architectural eccentricities
than any other, but it is undoubtedly
due in a larger degree to the great
flood Of light which pours through the
big glass dome that surmOunts the
building. Visitors seem at loss to
decide whether the prettier picture is
presented by day,whcn the deep green

its aid, or at night, when artificial
light plays so prominent part All
are agreed, however, that the Calif0r-
MIA MidWinter international EXPOSE
ton is the prettieSt worlds fair that
has ever been held upon Gods foot
stool, and the cOnceSSiOnaireS, many
of whom have stalled their all to cross
the continent and share the success of
this industrial venture, and who may
be conceded to be good judges Of the
promise of such an exposition, are
united in the opinion that this fair
will be an immense success

Plating Aluminium.

A process of plating aluminium has
been devised by Prof Neesen, Ger.
man chemist, which shows very good
results The aluminium is first dipped
in solution Of caustlc potash or soda,
or in muriatic acid, until bubbles OF
gas begin to appear, then into zorro
sive sublimate, then second time into
the caustic or acid, and finally into a
solution of a salt of the desired metal.
A film of the metal is rapidly formed,
and adheres so firmly that, in the case
of gold, silver or copper, the plate may
be rolled out or polished
