FEDERAL LAW MAKERS,

Washington, Jan. 19.--In the senate
the discussion turned upon the Ha
waiian question by the calling up Cd
a resolution, offered some time ago by
Mr.. Aldrich, recommending the keep
ing of one or more ships in the har
bors there. Mr.. George said that there
is no obligation on the United States
to maintain the Hawaiian government
We might maintain tile lives and prop
erty of American citizens in Hawaii
but the lives and property of Ameri
can citizens are not assailed. Mr.
Kyle urged briefly that the situation
demanded immediate action by the
senate. Mr. Caffery said that he gath.
cred from published reports that the
uprising was fizzle.
The Hawaiian resolution was laid
aside.
In the house q similar Hawaiian
resolution was proposed, providing
for a submarine cable from Sam Fran
cisco to Honolulu. This matter lead
to sharp fight of words between Mr.
Boutelle and Mr. McCreary.
Washington, Jan. 21.-The house
voted TO authorize the construction cd
public buildings at Chicago to cost
$i.000,000 and also one at South Oma-
ha, Neb., to cost 100000 The sue
cess of the Chicago building bill was
due largely to a delegation headed by
Postmaster Hesing, which came here
i'm the bills interest, supplemented by
the active and intelligent efforts of the
Illinois congressional delegation.
Mr.. Boutelle was prevented from
gaining consideration for his Hawaiian
resolution. II hope" Mr.. Boutelle
said to the house, after the privilege
had been refused, that the blood
which rests on this house, will not be
despatched on the lintels of the house

pointed ut saiisbury's Request.
Alfred Austin, poet, critic and jour
nalist, was born at Headingley, near
Leeds, May 30, 1895. His father was a
merchant and magistrate of the Dor
ough of Leeds. He was educated at
Stonyhurst college and afterward at
St. Mary's college, Ascot. Austin took
his degree at the University of London
in 1853. In 1857 he was called to the bar
of the Inner Temple.
But the publication of poem at the
age of IS showed the bent of his dispo-
sition. Mr.. Austin himself says that he
studied law only in Difference to the
wishes of his parents. From his ear
lest years he was imbued with the de-
sire and the determination to devote
his life mainly to literature.
On the death of his father in 1861 he

Antarctic Exploration tho Fad Of tho Hour
Lieut.. Peary Is Tired OF Hunting for
the North Poie--Andree's Bal
loon scheme.

Lieut.. Peary has come back from
Greenland with no desire topursue arc
tic explorations further. He thinks
the north pole will be reached at no dis
tant day; but the feat must be accom-
plished by o younger and more athlet-
ic man than he.
The glory of this achievement a
young Swedish geographer, Andree by
name, hopes to win by an adventurous
enterprise. His plan is to start from
spitzbergen in a balloon some day when
the wind favors. The distance is not
more than 700 miles; the balloon would
travel 200 miles day; and in few
days Andree hopes to add more to the
worlds knowledge of the arctic regions
than has been gained in centuries.
Andree has devised asteering appara-
tus, and intends to use guide ropes to
preserve equilibrium. His project was
listened to with amazement when UNI
folded before the international Geo.
graphical congress last summer, but he
has secured both money and compan-
ions for his daring venture, and pur-
poses to start next July. 2sfF
A less thrilling enterprise, but one
promising more substantial results, is
the exploration of the antarctic regions.
The veteran arctic and antarctic explor-
ers who were among the participants
in the Geographical congress gave seri-
Gus attention to the Norwegian, Borch-
grevink, who described his last winters
voyage to Victoria Land. Ii his expec-
tations are sustained by later discover
les, future geographers will sketch on
the worlds map, in the antarctic zone,
a continent twice as large as Europe.
b It is 54years since the brave Sir James
Ross, with his ships, the Erbus and the
Terror, pushed his way through the Ice
fields and planted the British flag on
Possession island. But although the
Antarctic continent is only two weeks
sail from Australia, no one is known to
have set foot upon it until the Norwe-
gian explorer did SO last February, at
Cape Adair.
The vessel on which Borchgrevinl
made his voyage was the steam whaler

trip was the capture of whatare-called

Mr.. Austin has written much for the
Standard and the Quarterly Review.
During the sittings of the Oecumenical
council of the vatican he represented
the Standard at Rome, and was the spe-
cial correspondent of that paper at the
headquarters of the king of Prussia in
the Franco-German war.
In 1888, in conjunction with W. j..

Alfred Austin's poetry, such as 1t is,
belongs to the school Of intolerable me-
diocrity. His verses are inferior in
force and inspiration to half the news
paper poetry of both the United States
and England. He is voluminous
writer both in poetry and prose, his po-
etry being of an order much inferior to
that of Swinburne, the sensualist, and
of William Morris, the socialist. Oh
course both Swinburne and Morris had
rendered themselves ineligible by their
writings to wear the laurel with which
an aged and virtuous queen crowns the
best poet of her nation and her times.
The appointment of either to the Office
of laureate would have been an insult

"right" whales, which are valuable for
whalebone. Commercially the voyage
was failure, for no whales were taken,
but Borchgrevink's motive in attach
ing himself to the ship was to make use
of the opportunity afforded for ex-
ploration.
A vessel properly equipped and carry
ing party of scientific men might have
accomplished much more, under such
favoring conditions of ice and weather
as the Antarctic experienced. The
minimum temperature recorded on the
voyage was rs degrees Fahrenheit, and
the maximum 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
From their landing-place at Cape
Adair several accessible spurs led up to
the top of the cape. From there, a
gentle slope led on to the great plateau
of the South Victorian continent. Multi
tudes of penguins thronged the shore
and attacked the landing party, with
hoarse screams The presence of these
birds, their undisturbed nests, the
vegetation found on the rocks, and the
fat table of the cape all indicate that
scientific expedition might stop there
safely, even during the winter months.
The geographical congress expressed
its appreciation of the Importance of
the proposed exploration of the ant
arctic regions, by resolution declaring
1t the greatest piece of geographical
exploration still to be undertaken.
In view of the additions to krowl-
edge in almost every branch of science
which might reasonably be expected
from such exploration, the congress
recommended scientific societies
throughout the world to urge the
prosecution of the work. One of the
most important of the anticipated sci
entifc results is the possibility of de-
fining. the variations of the south mag
netic pole. N
There are commercial as well as SCI
entifc results to be looked for from ant
arctic exploration, says Youths Com
panion. There are possibilities of min
eral deposits. 1t is certain that there
are great guano beds on Possession
island, and on the mainland. If sci
entific inquiry and business enterprise
should combine their forces, the great
antarctic continent would not long re-
main an unknown land. k

WHEN THE WHEEL RUNS HARD.
Sometimes the Frame L. out of Line-Bow

Sometimes the Frame Is out of Line-Bow
to Remedy the Fault.
Not ihfreanently one hears o rider
complaining that his wheel i~as hard.
and that he can discover no cause for It,
when the very obvious cause is that the
frame is out of line. Sometimes the ir
regularity can be detected by the eye,
but If it cannot be seen then the wheels
and sprockets should be tested to see II
they are in line. The front wheel and
rear one should track, and If they are
set true between the forks and the frame
is straight they will do So II your
wheels are as far from one side as the
other, then you can try them for the
trueness Of frame very easily. Turn the
wheel upside down, getting the handle
bars straight, and set both wheels spin
ming. Then, with piece of string long
enough to reach from one end of the
machine to the other, see II it can be
stretched taut and held SO as to be just
a little above the center Of the tires, or,
better still. because it does not allow
for deception by irregular tires, is to
take two strings and hold one against
each side Of the rim. II the spinning
wheels bring the rims in constant con-
tact with the strings ON both sides, the
wheels are true.
To ascertain whether or not your
sprockets are in line with each other q
string can be used simply and effect
lively. Take off the chain, and making
loop in one end Of the string put il
over tooth Of the front sprocket, ther
draw 1t taut to the rear sprocket and
hold so as to see If every tooth of tn,
smaller sprocket will touch the string
If the rear sprocket is true, as it is APP
to be, you can then test the front one
similarly.
II the sprockets or wheels are true Il
themselves, but ont Of line with respec
to each other. 1t means that your franz
is sprung. Take square stick of sof
wood, notched 30 az to receive the tub
ing of the frame, and lay the cycle upol
il as near the bottom bracket as possible
and then bend the frame gently till !
is true again. Sometimes it may be nee
essary to remove the axle and sprocket
and always before beginning this trio
the rear wheel should be bolted fast t
the rear forks. -New York Times.
