CONGRESS-
Abstract Of the More Important Pro-
ceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY. DEC. S.


In the Senate matters assumed business
sspect. and the reading of the Presidents mes
sage was listened TO by large crowd OF people
in the galleries, besides the Senators on the
floor.
There was noticeable interest on the Repub-
lican side with reference to tho Waller case.
When that portion of the message relating to
the Boring Sea claims was reached Mr.. Morgan,
who has been conspicuous in opposing the
claims, smiled at the announcement that new
treaty had been made, and leaned forward for
an animated whispered conference with Mr..
Gray.
The treatment Of the British-Nenezuela
question also received marked attention. The
abatement of the status of the Cuban conflict
was especially interesting. rs it gave the hrst
official utteranco on the subject.
Mr.. Call Fla, d. introduced resolution for
the recognition of the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerenis, and gave notice that he would call
MP the resolution tomorrow.
Mr. Cullom I'll, r. introduced resolution
on the Monroe Doctrine similar TO that pre-
sented by Mr.. Lodge.
Mr. Allen (Neb. P.) offered concurrent
resolution for the immediate recognition of the
Cuban insurgents the annexation of all islands
proximate to the United States, the upholding
Of the Monroe Doctrine, and a frmer foreign
policy respecting the protection of American
citizens abroad.

MONDAY. DEC. 9.

In the Senate, the chief interest was the
speech of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, on
the settlement of the Boring Sea awards.
He said he felt il incumbent upon himself
to reply to certain published comments made
upon his course in the Senate by the British
Premier and the British Ambassador. III e de-
clared that the Paris tribunal did not attempt
to determine the question of the liability of
the United States for seizures. or the amount
Of such liability. Great Britain contended
however, that the liability was decided rs a
necessary inference, and President Cleveland,
proceeding on that assumption, had, through
The State Department, agreed 10 pay $l25 600
in discharge Of this alleged liability Of the
United States. But that agreement could not
be carried out without the ratification of Con-
gress. The findings of the tribunal rested en-
tirely upon tie treaty making power Of the
two Governments, and the United States and
Great Britain were bound to carry out the
regulations decided OF for the protection of the
seals as much rs if those regulations had been
incorporated in treaty. But neither Govern
ment was bound further.
lie quoted from Sir Julian's report to Lord
Kimberley that Republicans, Populists and "A
Democrats had voted against the appropriation.
and his comment attributing TIE action of the
House 10 the necessity of party expediency."
Mr.. Morgan declared contempiu0usly that it
was getting the fashion abroad 10 attribute
everything that did not please them TO " the
influence OF party politics" He characterized
SirJuian s comments as "unjust" and often
sive" in the case of the House. But not con-
tent with these reflections on the House." said
Mr.. Morgan, she refers TO Senators by name in
a gratuitious aud insulting manner. He docs
this under the cover of the British flag"
Mr.. Morgan insisted that it was the clear
duty of the Senate TO obstruct the action of the
President in an attempt to ride down the
power of the Senate by negotiating for the set
Element of an international controversy with
out its advice or consent. Mr.. Morgan asked a
vote on the adoption of his resolution instruct
ing the Foreign Affairs Committee to examine
into and report upon the liability of the United
States to Great Britain for the seizures. The
resolution was adopted without q dissenting
voice.
Among the bills introduced was one by Mr..
Voorhees, (Ind.. d. granting a pension of

tay of State, Gen. ". @. Gresham.

aad Books nelp Degeneration.

To recommend degenerate books
to neurotic or hysterical readers is
not only to vaecinate but to inocu-
late them. There is here certainly
q communication of the disease. An
unhealthy imagination finds in the
wild lubrications of the degenerates
welcome nourishment and pattern
zealously to be initiated. Every dor
mant inclination is awakened and
moAstrously developed by this sort
of reading. Far from causing sat-
isfaction of these morbid tendencies
that!shall no longer seek perpetual
ton in deeds, such reading only
strengthens what becomes an i'm
perative necessity to commit crime
and immortality.
Ieould cite dozens of cases from
the criminal records of the past few
years where thieves, housebreakers
and nurderers indicated that the
primal conception of their misdeeds
arose from the perusal of sensation
al novels IN which malefactors were
exalted and their heroic deeds expa-
tiated upon with enthusiasm. do
not assert that these individuals
were made criminals by what they
read. Their natures were perverse
by birth and education. The propens
sity to crime was organic. But who
can say that the perusal of immoral
books was not the direct cause which
governed their latent instincts, pro-
ducing we'll defined aim? Indeed
the malefactOrs themselves believed
this to be SO. Could I but relate the
moral devastations traceable to the
reading of Nietzsche and Ibsen
which have seen in actual life!-

THE SULTAN AT DINNER,
He Eats Alone and Spends $1,000 q Day
on His Table.

ne Eats Alone and Spends IS 900 q Day
ON His Table.
By far the most extravaganza din.
er in the world is the sultan of
Turkey. His table expenses foot up
to SIS, 900 day, or 81, s25, OOOa year.
1t IS the most expensive table and
household in all probability that any
country has ever seen. The old Ro-
mans used to spend vast sums on
single meals, the equivalent of $780,
600 being a drop in the bucket when
their emperors used to dine foreign
potentates, but the sultan expends
all this money on himself. He is not
sociable man and very rarely has
guests Or visitors.
He does not even have dining
room or dining hall. Turkish GUS
tom among the higher classes is for
servants to bring the meals to wher-
ever the diners may be, and in the
palace of STEAMBOAT the menials at
the dinner Eour first search out his
majesty and then in long procession
bring the banquet, table and all.
The table is silver one and per-
haps the most exquisite table that
has ever been made. It precedes the
procession borne in upon the shout
ders of lsNTer grade servants. Fol-
lowing ourne long line of jubla-
kiars, who are cooks assistants. On
the heads of these orientals are large
tablets on which the platters are
placed. Such a perfect balance do
the jublakiars keep that an accident,
the breaking of a dish, has never
been known.
The walters (sofadgis) lift the
platters from the tablets and pre-
sent each dish to his majesty, bowling
low. The dishes are covered and
sealed with the imperial seal, which
is put on in the kitchen by the grand
vizier, the idea being that the sultan
may be certain that his food has not
been poisoned or tempered with.
All at once the dishes are set upon
the table, vegetables, meats, ices
and continues being arranged in
front of his royal highness without
any regard to courses or ordinary
dinner regulations The whole re-
past is before his majesty He runs
his eye over the many viands. Then
he picks and chooses, eating the
whole simultaneously, pick here
and bite there, a mouthful of meat,
a spoonful of ice, asweet cake and
q tiny bali of fish.
1t all seems strange to a man who
finishes his soup before he tackles
anything else, but the sultan seems
to enjoy it. He is total abstainer,
and newer has wine set on the table
at any time. AT state dinners the

About Benedictine.

The liquor has been distilled since
1910, when a monk invented it. 1t
was used by the Benedictines of those
days as medicine and stimulant,
and its popularity dates from the
time when Francis I showed his ap-
probation of the cordial by creating
the abbot a cardinal. The bottles

young girls of the orphanage of the

HANDLING BURGLARS.
Some Suggestions In the Gentle Art-Ad-
yantages of the Edftha Method.

some suggestions In the Gentle Art-Ad-
yantages of the Editha Method.
A good way to handle a burglar
is the Editha method, as outlined
IN the little one act play which had
so much vogue here IA few years ago,
having been dramatized from Mrs.
Burnett's story. All you have to do
IS to keep 9-year- old girl in the
mouse. She must have golden hair
and appear to the burglar in her
nlghtdress, saying to him in reas-
surfing tones: Don't be afraid. 1
won't hurt you" Then he will say,
We'll, III be doggoned," and will
enter into conversation with the
child, the result being that he will
find her to be his own daughter
whom he has deserted years ago.
On an easel will be picture of his
wife whom he left. and then his
heart will be softened. He will leave
the little girl knife and fork and
a spoon and will leave without dis
turbing you, carrying away nothing
but 80, 600 in silver, several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry and a grand
piano, merely as memento of how
his better nature came to the front
and made a man of him.
Of course if you have no 9-year
old ex-child of the burglar in the
house you will have to resort to 9th
er methods, but the above is the
gentlest I can think of. IF you wake
up suddenly with the fash of a
bullseye lantern in your face and
feel the cold muzzle of revolver at
your temple while a hoarse voice
says, MAKE a sound, and I'll blow
your brains out, q good thing to do
is to clap the burglar on the back
and say: go ahead, old man. Ny
wife says haven't brains enough
to last overnight, and I would like
to show her that she is wrong
That will discomfort him for a mo-
ment, and you can then take him
down stairs and set out a good sup
per for HIM. Then show him where
everything is, help him pack it up,
and you will be all right.
Some men keep a pistol in the
house for the purpose of shooting
burglars, but the burglars usually
take the pistol first Then q man
has only his fists. Now, if should
wake up some night and see a bur-
glar in the house I know that l
should burst into peals of laughter,
for it would be a good Joke. The
burglar might not see the point at
first, but he would later and would
realize that the laugh was on him.
But it by chance there should be
anything in the house worth taking
and I should see two masked men
bending over my couch I would
merely knock their heads together
until they were insensible, then tie
them together into double knots and
drop them down the elevator shaft.
