Our Visit To Aunt Martha.

The sky was cloudless, and the sun
was unusually bright, as if flooding
the valley with its radiant smiles.
The dew glistened on the grass. And
the wild-woods rang with the sweet
song of birds, as two sisters sat in
their handsome drawing-room, at their
city home, planning how they should
pass the many hot and sultry months
of summer. Grace, the eldest OF the
two, arose and went to the window,
where she stood for a few moments
watching the trees tossing their branch

built on the Mississippi river. Mr..
Talbot in charge OF the bill acce pied the
amendment.
An amendment by Mr.. Sayres to
strike out the item for the authorization
of three battleships of $4,OO0.0O0 each
was lost after considerable debate. Mr..
Sayres in closing for the appropriation
frankly admitted that he did not expect
his amendment to carry. The Cramps
were here, he said. Last Saturday
Cramp had boasted that this bill would
pass. The Cramps bad received $22,-
O0O, 900 from the government and An
drew Carnegie $4.000,000. Millions had
gone to the Pacific coast. These COM
panies were powerful. Their friends
were powerful and he did not therefore
expect to carry the amendment.
When the committe rose and re-
ported to the house Mr.. Sayres moved
to recommit it to the committee on
naval affairs with instructions to report
it back after striking out the provision
for three battleships. The motion was
defeated and the bill was then passed
without division.
Mr.. McCreary, chairman OF the COM
mittee OF foreign affairs, then called up
the conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill he ex-
planned that the house conferees had
refused to agree to the senate amend
ment appropriating 100000 for a sub
marine cable to the Hawaiian islands
and he would ask the house to there.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Mr. Chandler
created something of sensation in the
senate late today by outlining import
ant steps to be taken by the next con-
gress including congressional investiga-
tion of recent purchases of gold by the
president of the United States. The
speech came unexpectedly as. an incl
dent of a debate on the Indian appro-
priation bill.
During the early hours Of day the
silver bill made its exit from the senate
Mr.. Jones OF Arkansas, in charge of the
measure, announced that it's friends
would make no further effort to pass it
at the present session. The disposal of
the measure was emphasized by de-
cisive vote of 55 to II on Mr.. Cor
mans motion to take up the Indian ap-
preparation bill, the effect of which
was to displace the silver bill and send
it back to the calendar. Mr.. Wolcott's
resolution declaring for silver, but post
poning action also went to the calendar
without final action. 1t was discussed
briefly today. Mr.. Higgins opposed it
as meaning less and Mr.. Mandereon
proposed an amendment urging an
international bimetallic agreement.
The speech of Mr.. Chandler signifi-
cantly urged that the time was near at
hand when the Republican party must
take affirmative action on bimetallism
Most of the day was given to the Indian
appropriation bill, final action not
being taken.

1t became evident yesterday morning

Mr.. Crosby OF Apache, clinched the
victory in the afternoon by moving a
reconsideration of the vote. The
Papago county bill was ma9e a special
order for next Tuesday.
Two house bills, whose progress has
been watched with interest, came to an
untimely end in the council. One was
an act to protect the rights of working
men by preventing discrimination by
employers and others against mem bers
of labor unions. The other was the bill
providing for the punishment of Off

The bill preventing females from fire.

places where Intoxicating liquors are

opposition. The council joint resoIu-

TO SAVE Her BABY.
A DiSSoIute Woman Sent to
the Insane Asylum.
Proceedings in Probate Court Yes
terday Against Mrs. Florence
L. HuSon.

Mrs Florence L. Huson was ecm.
mitted to the insane asvlum yesterday
afternoon. The proceeding was some
what unusual but touching and neces-
sary for the saving Of her little boy
beautiful child OF five or six.
The mother is the divorced wife of
Willis o. Huson, formerly justice OF
the peace of this precinct and row a
resident of Yuma. After her eepara-
tion from her husband her life became
unsatisfactory and gradually disgrace
full. She comes of a good family; her
father is Capt. Grove of Castle Greek
hot springs. Considerable interest was
taken in the woman on this account
and earnest efforts were made to induce
her to go to her parents who implored
her to quit the life upon which she had
entered. All efforts were fruitless aud
her conduct became daily more dis
graceful. Her little boy was dragged
about the streets with her and is said
to have been made 2 frequent witness
of his mothers shame. Attempts were
made to induce her to give him up; to
send him to her mother. Her manner
of living however still left her strong
but perverted maternal instinct and
she clung to him.
Among the gentlemen interested in
the case were District Attorney Millay,
eX District Attorney Williams and sew
eral physicians. When nothing else
could be done to save the boy it was
n o. IN hripn oh of i,ooD
ity against her. She had, in fact, suf-
fered from disease which had prob
ably unbalanced her mind. but the
complainants attached less importance
to that probability than to the GER
tainty that no sane woman would will
lingly descend to such a depth of degra-
dation,
She was arrested yesterday and the
hearing took place before Probate
Judge Grouse in the afternoon. Physi-
clans testified concerning her physical
troubles and others testified concerning
her moral infirmities. Her little boy
sat on her lap during the trial. The
defendant protested that she was sane
and demanded an attorney and the
right to summon witnesses. There is,
however. no such right accorded in the
statutes. Her mother Mrs. Grove was
appointed special guardian of the child.
There had been no scene up to this
point. The defendant had been calm
but indignant. When the little boy
though learned that he was to bs
separated from his mother whose
constant companion he had been In
her disgrace the situation became SO
painful to the officials that it was de-
cided to permit them to remain
together one more night and they were
given quarters at the sherifi's office.

they would not vote against the bill as

pointed a special committee to draft
