CONSIDERED IN COMMITTEE
The Executive Proposition Developed
Far More Enemies Than
Friends.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The house
committee on banking and currency
started at IL o'clock upon the considera-
ton of the administration bill. Prac-
tlcally no progress was made during the
early part of the day, and all indications
point to a refreshing of the financial
question in all its phases. Representa-
tive Cox, democrat of Tennessee. moved
to report the bill to the house, which
aroused a chorus of opposltion. Hender-
son of Illinois. Brosius Of Pennsylvania,
and Haughen of Wisconsin, republicans
objected st%renuously TO what they termed
summary action, and Representative
Cobb, democrat, declared he would never
vote the bill to the house in its present
form. Thereupon Representative Rus
sell, republican of Connecticut. moved
that the committee proceed to the con-
sideration Of the bill, which was agreed
to informally. Representative Walker,
Republican Of Massachusetts, opposed
the proposition OF a ffty-year term for
the bonds and gave notice that he will
offer an amendment for a shorter term.
Other republicans stood with him on
this objection and also expressed the
view that the greenbacks should not be
retired unless tine circulation was kept
up to the present volume by replacing the
retired greenbacks with national bank
notes. Representative Cox gave notice
that he will move to substitute for the
administration bill the Inflated Carlisle
bill with certain amendments Of his own
heretofore. They may be
adopted by a committee rule limiting
debate on amendments, which will some
what expedite matters.

Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land.

The clannishness of the Scotch does not
prevent US making as good citizens of
TINS United States as the people Of any
country under the sun. We verify be-
lieve that among the best, truest and
noblest citizens Of this the greatest and
best country IN the world, Scotchmen
are to be found, Here let US pause for
4 moment to consider what claims
Scotland has to be called the Gland of
song" 1t may be true that Scotland
has produced few of tho great composers
Of classical music, yet Scotland has a
collection Of songs which for beauty,
charm, richness a0d depth of pathos is
unsurpassed by any country in the
world. In the songs Of Burns alone we
have a collection rs fine as the world has
ever seen. These SONGS contain sentl-
ments to suit every mood of the human
breast, No one can deny Scotlands title
to DC called the Land Of heather. While
the lovely heather is ru be found in
greater or less abundance in every part
Of the country 1t is in our own native
Highlands that this beautiful and fra
grant flower grows in all it's lUXuriance.
charm and ioveliness.
The toast 1.-THE Land of Our Adop-

Andrew Colville, while the toast "Our

in Mr.. Chas. Lochray. In the unavoid-
able absence of the gentleman to whom
was assigned the response to the toast
THE ladies' the toast was coupled with
the name of the speaker of the evening,
Mr.. George H. Stanton, whose reply was
as fluent, eloquent and gracious as was
his response of mastery %eloquence to the
first toast OF the evening.
An adjournment was again made to
the dancing hall, where the light fantas-
tic toe was tripped with u%nfiagging zeal
and hearty goud will till 4 a. m.
At suitable intervals during the even
ing songs were exquisitely rendered by
Mrs. Kerr. the Misses Mclean, Messrs.
Thomas Graham, William Hunter and
George White. A most pleasing feature
of the proceedings was Mr.. John Muir
rays fine exposition of clog and hornpipe
dancing.
The dance program included such old
Scottish favorites as 1.-THE Flowers Of

SC0TCHMEN At SAND COULEE|
They Recite and Sing the Praise of
the National Poet on the Even
ing of the 25th.
Various TOasts and ResDOnses-A
Dance that Included Some
Scotch Figures.

The 18th anniversary Of the poet
Burns was celebrated at Sand Coulee on
January 25th with much pomp and
splendor. The celebration was in the
form of a concert, banquet and dance.
The grand march was called at $50 D..
M, and from that hour the jolity was
maintained with that vigor and en-
thusiasm which is peculiar to the hardy
sons of Scotia until IL o'clock when an
adjournment was made to the banquet
ing hail. About GO couple sat down to a
very toothsome and elegant supper.
Supper over, the chairman, Mr.. w. r,
Dickson, proposed the toast "The
memory Of Robert Burns" which was re-
ceived in solemn silence. Mr.. Geo. H.
Stanton responded in a speech, which
for beauty and grace of language and
depth Of sentiment, Is rarely heard in
these parts. The speaker, with touch.
ing words, referred to the birth of Burns
in the two roomed whitwashed cottage
in Ayr, the poets genius and scholarly
attainments at an early age and his sub
sequent literary compositions which are
today on the lips not only of Scotchmen
but on the lips of the whole civilized
world, wherever the English language is
spoken. MIR. Stanton's able and master
ly address will not soon be forgotten by
those who had the pleasure of listening
to it.
The chairman next proposed the toast,
Scotland, the land of song and heather,'
and was responded to as follows by B. NJ.
Burrell:

spond to the toast which you have 60
