sage, was prepared by MI. Hit (Rep.,

Washington, Special.-The president
to-day made response to the senate
resolution Of Dec 4, calling for in
formation received by the state de-
partment respecting affairs in Turkey.
The response is in the shape of a re-
port by Secretary Olney, summarize
ing, but not including. the official cor
r~eSpondence, and beginning with the
maSsacres at MOosh, in August, 1894.
In substance the secretary's report
%recounts all that has been done to pro-
tect American citizens against rioters;
shows thaG while their property has
suffered in two instances, lAey have
MOI been injured in person: quotes
Minister Terrell as estimating the
number of Armenians killed at 10000
and, after citing several cases wherein
naturalized Americans have been OPP
pressively treated, states that proper
steps have been taken to secure in
demnity in all cases and to protect
our naturalized citizens in their treaty
rights.
The spirit of A~mericanism still
brOOded over the senate to-day. but al
though every senator who spoke upon
the subject Endorsed the position of
the president, expressed the opinion
that war would not result. Still the
gravity of the situation was not under
estimated. The "war talk" of the last
few days attracted to the galleries
large crowds who followed the debate
with intense interest. The immediate
question before the senate was the
house bill appropriating 100000 to de-
fray the expenses of the commission
recommended by the president. There
was some difference Of opinion as to
what disposition should be made Of it,
the general opinion being that 1t
should go to the committee on foreign
relations. The debate, however, had
no practical result, as Mr.. Allen Of
Nebraska, a Populist objected to the
second reading of the bill. Mr.. Allen
Pop, Neb.) caused a broad smile to
go around the chamber when he asked
for the immediate consideration of a
lengthy reciting that in view of the
possible contingency of war with
Great Britain as a result of the CON
fliCt over the Venezuelan boundry dis
puCe and hat the first essential in

Washington, Dec. 22.-By a unani-
nous vote the sena+' passed the house
bill appropriating 10000 for the ex-
penses of the Venezuelan commission
to be appointed by the president.
Many patriotic speeches were made,
and while war W. deprecated. all the
speakers said America would not
shrink from a war If it was necessary
to uphold the honor and dignity Of
the nation.
The first silver vote in the senate
was taken. 1t was on a motion to re-
fer to the finance committee Aliens
silver bill directing an inquiry as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of opening the minis
to free coinage in view of the strained
relations over Venezuela. The mo-
ton was defeated-ayes "a; nays, 36,
the silver men voting nay. The reso-
luton was then adopted without di-
vision.

Inventing a Shadow.

Thousands ofpersonS have read { he sha dow
advertisements OF Chica go theater, which
is thrown Oh the whitewashed wall of the
LaSalle street tunnel. 1t is produced by an
ingenious device OF wire hung close to one of
the electric lights. Here is the story re-
lated in regard to 1T:
A young maninvented the little wire frame
that throws the shadow and had it patented.
Then he asked permission to try it in the
tunnel, and permission was readily gra nted.
He hung the theater advertisement with
which every Northside resident is familiar,
and after allowing it to remain for a few
weeks, he called on Charles T. Yerkes
the street car ma Gnate.
He explained his device at length, and
estimates of cost and profits attendant upon
its use were produced.
ITS a good thing" said Mr.. Yerkes,
chow much do you want for it?''
The young. man thought moment
lone thousand dollars would be cheap for
the patent" he said.
''Well, call on me again in a week." re-
piled Mr.. Yerkes, ''aud III talk with you
about it,
The young man went away jubilant. At
the end of the specified time b @ returned.
I've thought the matter over" said Mr..
Yerkes.
Its good thing" interrupted the young
man.
"Yes, it's a good thing; I'll give you So
for it,
Five dollarsr' gasped the young man.
"Why y, It's worth Thousand
Possibly"
"And own the PATENT
'And own the tunnel" said Mfr. Yerkes

London Telegraph.-Dr. Chalmers, the
eminent divine, was fond of telling the
following story: Lady Betty Cunningham,
having had some difference of opinion with
the parish minister. instead of putting her
usual contribution in the collecting plate,
merely gave stately bow. This having
occurred several Sundays in success sion,
the elder in charge of the plate at last
lost patience and blurted out: =" We cud
dae wi less o. yer manners an mair O. yer
siller, ma leddy.''
a Dobleman, he happened to repeat the
anecdote, whereupon the host, in a not
over well-pleased tone, said: Are you
aware, DR.. Chalmers, that Lady Betty is a

The project for a national home for aged
and infirm coloresf persons has been pushed
for two years past by Rev. p. II. White.
friend of Recorder Taylor. Mr.. White
was. for time, editor of Mr.. Tayior's
paper, and aided him materially In his
fight against Calvin Chase, In the libel
suit in which the latter was beaten last
winter.
The movement for the home comes up
In a bill Introduced in Congress to appro-
pirate 100000 FOR The purpose OF erect
ing building here. The bill was cham
pioned in the last House by Mr.. Outhwaite.
and passed. 1t was favored by u number
of leading Senators, but when it got to
the Appropriations Commit tee, several
questions were as ked of the hackers OF II,
which could not be answered satisfactorily
in time to secure It's passage. 1t was
beaten, 1t is said, by lack OF five minutes
time at the close Of the session.
The measure has come up in q modified
form in II. r. No. g, Introduced on Thursday
by Mr.. Hull, Of Iowa. The proposition is
to put 100000 at once in the hands of
the incorporators of q society here with
similar purposes to that ipdicated.s The
money is to come from funds lying in the
Treasury to the credit Of persons having
claims by reasons of the services of colored
about 1876, 1000 OF these and many of them
failed to get money due them, as their
widows and children have done since. For
one reason and another the true claimants
to these funds cannot be found. Originally.
there was over half a million dollars of
it, but half Of this disappeared under the
notorious Free'imau's Bureau. There re-
mains, however. about S240,000.
or this amount 500, 0oO is to be taken
at once, and devoted to the erection and
equipment of buildings. No definite plan
is stated for the control OF the money, and
IT Is likely before it gets through Congress it
will be amended so as to make the money
payable only as 1t is needed to meet ex-
penses for work actually DONE
The bill also provides that the remainder of
the $4,000 fund shall become an endow-
ment fund. for the home No plan is set
forth for the use of 1t. This also will
doubtless be attended to before the meas
ure becomes a law.
The incorporators OF the local society
have three acres OF land in Anacostia
already, and 1t is probable the Institution
will be located there.
Mr.. White has been at the District build
ing recently in the interests of his plan. and
will seek the aid OF the Commits Sioncrs
and of Col. Tracey, superintendent of chart
ties.
