Washington, March 97.--Thc
order Of court martial in the
case of Lieutenant Charles H..
Lyman Ct The Kenrsargc is based
upon Two. charges. Ths fret is

The Senate is whore the fate of the
bill will be decided, and its action
is doubtful.
There is danger that the Chin
csc question may be re- opened in
Congress and that there will be Il
repetition of the bitter debates
which have always accompanied
Congressional discussion of that
matter. Tho causc is the new
treaty with China, now. before the
Senate committee on Foreign Re
l.tions. Senators and Representa-
tives from the Pacific coast arc op
posed t" tie new treaty because,
they say, it will in effect wipe out
every provision that Congress has
made for the regulation and con
troll of Chinese migration. Other
Senators and Representatives who
are disposed to believe that this
country has been a little too hard
on the Chinese are opposed to
the new treaty, because, they 8 ~
it gives all to China and gets prac-
tcaHy nothing in return. They
say that valuable commercial con-
cessions ought to be received for
the privileges tho new treaty grants
to Cliaamen in the United States.
This criticism MAS evidently
weighty with the State department
as it brought ont the semi official
announcement that a commercial
treaty had been negotiated and is
now only awaiting the approval of
the Chinese government.
The defense OF Colonel Brecken-
ridge, that he was led astray, and
kept astray against his viii for q
period Of nearly ten years By Miss
Pc lard, is not regarded AS strong
one BIZ the public, however, it may
strike the jury. Pleading the
''bsby ACT" is always unpopular,
and kentuckians now here who
stood by Colonel Breckenridge dur
ing the damaging testimony given
by Miss Pollard and her witnesses
have not hesitated TO say that his
defense as outlined by his awl
partner and prlnc pal counsel, Col
mel Shelby, has killed his politi-

Fate of the Bland Bill, Hatch
Anti Option Bill, Etc.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March 26, 1894. :
There is little or no Speculation 10
day concerning what has settled
down tothe belief that sit will b,
vetoed, and the delay is accounted
for, according to those who so be
lievr, by President CIcveland's de
sire to prepare an elaborate vet,
message, explaining that he is not
nc'ustcd by anlmosity to the use
of silver as money. Although this
belief has no more definite iounda
ton than guess work, it is So siren ,
~ shared by the silver men that
they are already arranging Their
programme in anticipation OF the
veto. 1t is not probable that any
attempt will be made to pass the
ILL over a veto, but veto will be
at once followed by the reporting
OF The Bland free Coinage bill 10y
the house cnmmittee an COMA ,e,
and by the eff ring of a free coin
age bill in the Senate az an afnend-
ment to the tariff bill. A veto will
make the adoption. of such an
amendment by the Senate com
paratively easy matter, as it would
DO supported by many republicans
wEo would not vote for free coin
aye AS separate measure. The
fear Of that amendment has ca u,ed
more than one democrat not favor
BILE to silver TO ask Mr.. Cleveland
either to sign the Bland bill, or 10
allow it become law without hi.
signature, and there are still few
who have hopes of his doing the
last. Although Mr.. Cleveland has
until Thursday to act on the bill
there are reasons for the belief that
he will announce ms sintention at
The cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Saturday members Of the cabinet
expressed ignorance of what would
be done, bat several OF them hint
ed veto rather strongly.
Coxey's army is something be
tween a puzzle and a j"kc to the
average Congressman, and it is
talked about considerable, but not
seriously. It is pnzzling several

count for his connection with the
army, but none of them think the

Stories of Grentness.

"You know John Habberton," said one
of a group Of artists who were talking to-
gether, lis doing the book reviewing for
Godeys now. A few months ago he had a
letter from an editor-an editor, mind you
who asked if Mr. Habberton could posi-
bly, secure him a new novel by George Eliot
or one by Thackeray Said he would be
willing to pay almost any price if either of
them would send him new story"
"Oh, pshawn said the rest, with un-
bounded contempt.
"Oh, it's fact, upon my honor"
"Well, perhaps it is" said the second
speaker, "for know of book dealer who
wrote to publisher here and asked that
he would send him a new novel by Jane
Austen for those lie had were selling very
well. Poor old Janet guess she turned in
her grave at that"
Everybody laughed, and the long haired
youth shook back his bangs and allowed
himself to look really intelligent
"Your stories are bad enough" he said,
"but they don't equal one which | have
heard yOuched for by good authority. 1t is
that AS You Like IT. was produced several
years ago on the stage Of a New York the
ater, and part OF the audience called for the
author"

Tho Ancestry of the Popes.

The popes have been drawn from all
classes Of society. Nineteen were sons or
near relatives of princes, and an equal num-
Der came from illustrious families. Many
came from absolute poverty and obscurity.
SiXtus VII was the son Of avery poor fisher
man; Alexander Y was the son of very poor
and unknown parents, the future pope
spending all of his young life in begging on
the streets. Adrian, the only English pope,
was abandoned early in life by worthless
father and had to subsist on charity until,
going as tramp to find an asylum in
France, he entered monastery or convent
as a servant. His real worth was soon
manifested in his diligence, and his virtues
and intelligence soon won for him the papal
tiara. Sixtus V had for father a poor
laborer, a common servant for mother,
and laundress of vicious habits for sister.
Celestine V was the son of u farmer of no
means and little intelligence. Benedict XII
spent his childhood in bakeshop. Urban
~ learned the carpenters trade from his
father as did also Gregory VII Five Of
the popes studied medicine before taking
holy orders Julius Ill was the son of fa-
nous juriscOnsult. Benedict Xl was the
son of poor notary. The father of Pela-
gius was a project and the vicar Of his
province The father of Paul V was a pa
trician of Sienna. The fathers of Eugene
", Gregory XII and Alexander XII all be-
longed to the patrician families of Venice.

A lazier man than the average Burman
it would be extremely hard to find. When
it is absolutely necessary for him to work,
he generally hits upon some method which
will save him lot of eXcrtion. If he wishes
to cultivate piece Of ground, he sets light
to the brushwood as a cheap, easy and
etiicacious method Of preparing the soil.
For two or three years he cultivates that
piece of land, and then he sets light to an
other spot, allowing the jungle to grow in
the old place, which will be ready for re
burning when the other ground wants u
rest.
Rice growers dispense with plows, turn.
ing loose instead number of buffaloes, who
cut up the saturated soil with their hoofs.
When Burman has earned n little money,
he Immediately proceeds to spend it all, for
the Burmese have no ambition to be rich,
and never hoard. Consequently there are
nOlarge landowners and, there beingno aris-
tocracy, the people are as near being on
anequality as possible. Poorpeopleareq quite
as rare as rich people, and the only beggars
to bemet with are the lepers, who sit on the
steps of the pagodas Literature.

All trees display constantly and broadly
their nature and the marks of the class to
which they belong The oak, elm, willow,
birch, beech, together with poplar chest
nut and pine, are among our native born
trees, and those most familiar to us as the
ancient landmarks, remembered so well in
childhood-the mulberry, olive, lex, hem
lock, spruce, apple, pear and cherry trees
go to make up the almost sacred circle of
friends SO dear to us because they are mon
uments of other and happier days.
The homestead and its associations recall
all the dear old trees so fondly cherished in
days lang syne" and SO dear to me now
that it is pleasant to write what know of
their history, utility, and why they are val
liable as lumber or the more valuable me-
chanical need which they meet. They all
afford the human race certain amount of
reliable service and are the foundation of
many industries. They furnish the ships
that cover the ocean with white sails and
furnish easy communication with all ma
tions. The arts and sciences depend upon
them for substantial aid in completing pal
aces and churches and all the grand and
lasting buildings which have dotted the
earth with beautiful cities and comfortable
dwelling places for man. And thus we find
that the trees are really the steadfast and
never failing friends of men. Boston Tran.
