Morton Not Against PIatt.

PHILADELPHIA, March Estate Sena-
tor Jacob Canter. of New York, one of the
members of the Lexow committee, was in
town to-day. He said that Mayor Strong's
bipartisan bill now pending in the Legis-
lature, will be passed, but that in such a
case, Superintendent Byrnes would doubt
be retained in his present position. The
Senator asserted that it was not true that
Governor Morton has ignored the dictates
of Mr.. Plat, and cast his lot with Mayor
Strong.

New Steams ship Line.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 29.-Arrange-
ments have been definitely made for the
establishment of a steamship line from
Portland to Japan and China, premature
announcement of which was made several
days ago. The Oregon Railroad and Navi-
ga tion Company has entered into an agree
ment with Samuels e. Co., of Yokohama,
and other parties who will place two
steamers on the route, making monthly
trips. The first steamer will leave Hong
Kong ON the 1st of May. The first steamer
will leave Portland June l. All of these
steamers will run via Yokohama and during
the winter months via Honolulu. The YES
sells have carrying capacity of from
5000 to $500 tons. The line is to be oper-
ated in connection with the Oregon rail-
road and navigation lines, the Great North
ern not being interested in it as was pro-
posed in tho former arrangements.

ADDlCKS LOST ONE VOTE.
Result of the Nfnety-Sixth Ballot for
Senator in Delaware.

DOVER, Del, March 29.-For the first
time since the balloting for United States
Senator began, nearly three months ago,
one of Addicks's followers deserted him to-
day and cast his ballot for James Penne-
will, prominent Dover lawyer Before the
two houses met to-day the air was full of
rumors of assertions, but no one thought
for moment that, after sticking to Ad-
dicks for ninety-five ballots, any of his six
faithful followers would desert him. When
the first ballot was taken there was much
excitement in the House. For the past few
days it has been rumored that the Higgins
and Addicks men would unite on PenneWill,
but the story could net be confirmed. To-
days developments. however, seem to bear
out the rumor The Addicks people profess
to feel confident that there will be no more
assertions from their man, but it is prob
able that climax will be reached i'm a few
days; The legislators are becoming tired of
the deadlock and do not hesitate to say so.
The two ballots to-day resulted: Higgins,
Republican, /; Addicks. Republican, 5; Mas
sey Republican, A. PenneWill, Republican,

report that an expedition of 1900 revolu-

the Spanish standpoint, the insurrection has
been recognized as existing and reports
concerning it have been made to the State

1t Is declared, does not intend to carry this
recognition to the point Of procaiming a
rebellion to be in existence, as this would
be step toward recognizing the nisurgent
cause for Cuban independence. 1t is
claimed, also. that the State Depa Ttment
has in effect recognized the existence Of the
insurgents as 1t has invoked the operation
OF the protocol of the Spanish treaty which
protects American citizens in Cuba, charged
with sedition, treason conspiracy agar st

them under the law of nations as belllger-

prospects of the grant of any such recogni-
ton.

How few peorlo when furnishing a

Glue Is Il OF the happiest colors u

Ann HCadley in The Ladies' Home
Journal. In a house where, as Il rule.
all the rooms open into one another, es-
pecIal care must be taken to preserve
harmony. 1t is better then to select che
color which shall run through all the
rooms. Old blue is the color par excel
lcnce IN such acase, combined with tan,
gray or white for the rugs, while the
same scheme prevails in the heavy dra-
peries.
a lovely little house in mind has a
parlor and library in one. The large
rug. covering the greater part Of the
room, is old blue and gray. In front of
the fireplace is a long, light gray fur
one. A broad, low lounge is covered
with dark gray. 1t is always better to
cover a lounge in a solid color, as it
takes more kindly to the pillows Of end
less hues. The large dining room rug
is Old blue and tan, with smaller rugs
OF tawny brown. The bedroom has al
cid blue and white large rug and white
1ur smaller ones. Let old blue predomi-
nate everywhere in the floor furnishings
and draperies, but not to the exclusion
OF all other colors elsewhere, for where
~ color only is used tho effect as d
whole is fiat. Let there be odd bright
color touches in the way Of pillows,
lamp shades, odd bits Of china and

what is the proper color for each room.

whether all of the rooms blend into o

An unmarried man or woman of mar
riageable age is something that is rarely

this is not far to seek. The natives be-
lieve that if a person dies while in an

doomed to wander about through end

HERE'S A NUT TO CRACK.
A Puzzle That May Give a Leisure Mind
Something to Think OF.

| have found the following interest
ing problem in an old notebook, writes
Sir Walter Besant. I have no ~recollec-
ton at all of it's origin. Perhaps every
body knows it. Perhaps everybody does
not. Those who do not will find it, I
think, unless they bring algebra to bear
upon it, rather a tough nut to crack.
Here it is. Once there were three mig
gers-their wickedness is a negligible
quantity; it does not enter into the
problem-who robbed an orchard. car
ried away the apples in a sack, LAID
them up in a barn for the night and
went to bed. One Of them woke up be-
fore dawn, and, being distrustful Of
his friends, thought he would make
sure OF his share at once. He therefore
went to the barn. divided the apples in
to three equal heaps-there was DIG
over, which he threw away-and car
rled off his share. Another Niger then
woke up with the same uneasiness and
the same resolution. He, too. divided
the apples into three heaps-there was

the third n-seer woke up with the same
emotions. RE, too, divided the remain

ANIMAL CURlCSlTlES.
Tree Climbing Rabbits. Sheep Eating Par
rots and Sheep That Love Snails.

AhAe 1LobS C1idll5s
1t seems almost a stretch of the in
agination to think of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet III Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the tree climb
ing habit, having been forced, Oh &C
count of the prosecutions of dogs ard
other animals, to drop burrowing and
initiate squirrels. An Australian sent
on to England recently the two front
feet Of a rabbit that had been killed On
an acacia, three yards from the ground,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not at all a remarkable thing, and lie
had often found them, Or ut least the
traces of their claws, on the bark of
trees four, five ard six yards high.
For a parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, and yet the kea of
New Zealand has become a sheep eater,
having changed to this article of food
from a purely vegetable diet. The Eea
has proved a serious source Of annoy-
ance to tho New Zealand herdsmen, and
methods have been taken fer the d~estruc-
ton OF the species. These gay colored
little birds will cat almost any kind of
meat, but it is sheep that they prefer.
They have been known 10 kill as
many as 200 in a single night and have
done serious harm to the focks. The
tradition Of the island is that at one
time these parrots were unable to OBJ
tain their usual supply Of vegeta' @
food and that i'll desperation they invad-
cd the drying rooms and ate whatev-
er came II hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. In Iceland almost all the
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. III England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The observation
OF this fact is not new it dates back
$50 years.
1t Is well known that a large number
OF lnsectivorous birds become grain ca
ers whenever they find that they cannot
procure their ordinary diet of insects
