New Use For n Parrot.

The talents of parrots have, we read.
just been turned in u new direction by
the authorities of a French town. 1t has
hitherto been the habit to more or less
fritter away the intellectual force of par.
rots by merely teaching them to say
naagh.y or witty things or to use such
expressions as Pretty Poll' or Poor
fellow" The municipal authorities Of
the town referred to have, perhaps the
future will prove, opened up a wider
field of action for the parrot. The poor
box at the town hall, it seems, had for
o long time past been in a condition of
chronic emptiness, which did not reflect
much credit on the charitable feelings
of the inhabitants. To remind them OF
their duty toward their poorer neigh
bors a parrot was purchased, which has
been installed close to the box and
trained to cry, For tho poor, if you
please. Tt appears that the result of
the innovation has been highly satisfac-
tory, pence and silver coins having been.

appeal. The idea, as is remarked, il

RETALIATION RIDER

hichCong Pessman Hopkins Pro-
poses for sugar Duty Repeal
Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Representa>
tive Hopkins, OF illinois, member OF
the ways and means committee, will Of
fer an amendment to Mr.. Visions bill to
remove the discriminating duty on
sugar from certain foreign countries.
which will be designed. it is stated, to
to insure the efficacy of MIR. Wilson's
bill III accOmp IiSning its objects; that is.
the ending of retaliatGry measures
against American meats. The amend
ment viii be substantially as follows:
"PrQVided. that in the case of for
eigu country, whether independent or
dependency, that makes or permits any
injurious discrimination III such cOun-
try against products Of the United
States. the duty mentioned in this bill
shall remain i'll full force ana effect
as provided in the law in force prior 70
the enactment OF this BILL"
The amendment, if enacted with the
bill, VIII leave the power Of enforcing
the law in the discretion of the eXecu-
tive branch OF the government. Ii Ger
many and her allies do not conclude to
discontinue their determinations against
American meat ami other products alter
the sugar discrimination mas been re-
mtted, the president has authority to
enforce 1t against the government Of
Tending.
Without some safeguard of this char
acter, Mr.. Hopkins argues, there will
be no assurances that the administration
bill Will attain the object for which it is
designed. Since the German officials
have maintained the insiStence that
their exclusion OF American cattle is Ill
spired solely by sanitary reasons they
might continue it without inconsistency
and the United States would receive
nothing il return for lis concessions.
Western members who have been
spoken 10 concerning the amendment
favor it. 1t has significance also iii
showing that part OF tAc Republican
minority has receded from its attitude
OF opposition TO the administration bill.
At the meeting OF the ways and means
committee, in which the bill was dis
cussed, there was cast a solid RepublI-
can vote against reporting it 10 the
house. MI. Hopkins thinks the West
ern men Will vote tor It regardless OF
party lines II the amendment can be al
tache0.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-The Repub-
licau senatorial caucus was in session
from ESQ until II o'clock today, and
adjourned without taking any action on
any subject, although most every Ques-
ton before the senate was discussed at
soma length, The discussion WAS OF
such a Gesut0rY character as to afford
no authentic information Oh any Of the
questions. The reference 10 the finan-
ciaI bills WAS really brieter than that
on any other question, and nothing
whatever was developed OH this SUBJ
ject,
The principal subj ect under consider
alton was That OF taking a position on
the question Of the senatorial election
in the states where there are senatorial
deadlocks. No formal expression OF
opinion was elected. This was because
OF the general opposition which seemed
70 prevail against senatorial interfer-
eECe There was also some expression
Of opinion upon the order Of business in

but no vote was taken. The ter
rt0rial admission Bills were dis
cusSed with reference to the p0-
litical complexion of the proposed
states il these bills Should pass. There
was no reference TO the silver question
in the territorial discussion, and the
fact that the Eastern senators aS class
seemed inclined to oppose admission
and the Western senators 10 favor it, so
far as expression was obtained, was re-
garded as evidence that some OF the
senators had this point in mind if they
did not give expression to it. The
nearest approach to decision reached
by the caucus was in the matter OF The
