land sent message to congress this

THE HOLIDAY RECESS.
The house adjourned upon reassemb-
ling after the recess, which means that
the holiday adjournment will not take
place until tomorrow.
ANXIOUS TREASURY oyF1o1ALs.
The news of the slump in stock on both
the New York and London exchanges and
that gold Withdrawals for export to-day
would approximate $4,000,000 and pos.
sibly more created sensation among
treasury officials.
About noon Assistant Secretary Curtis
had conversation with New York parties
over the long distance telephone and at
its conclusion hurriedly left the depart
ment for the White house, where the
cabinet was in session.
What measures, if any, will be taken at
once by the government to allay the
panicky situation is problematical, but
there seems to be no reasonable doubt
that, in case of continued large with
drawls of gold, even for another week,
the president will send message to con-
gress urging the gravity of the situation
as reason for immediate favorable ac-
tion on tho recommendation already
made that the secretary of the treasury
be authorized to issue low rate bonds to
preserve the integrity of the gold re-
serve.
ANOTHER BOND ISSUE PROBABLE.
In the absence of prompt legislation it
is not doubted that another bond issue,
under the same authority as the proceed
ing ones, will be announced. Already the
gold reserve has reached point con-
siderably below $70,000O00.
| CORPORATION CONTROL or ELECTIONS.
The senate has passed resolution di-
rectlng it's committee to investigate the
efforts of corporations to control the
election of congressman and also to con-
troll legislation. The committee is d.
rected to report bill to suppress such
practices. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That the committee on
privileges and elections be charged with
the duty of investigating the subject of
the organized effort of corporations, or
of the president or directors thereof, to
control the election of members of con-
gress or influence the. legislation of con-
gress; also to investigate and report to
the senate whether corrupt means, brib-
cry or free transportation have been OF
are being used to influence such elections;
also to inquire and to repori to the SEN
ate whether the influences or means is
consistent with the preservation of the
republic of the United States and the
rights and liberties of the people, and re-
! port bill for the punishment of such
practices. ~

Comment.

Washington, Dec. 2O.--At 1850 this
morning the foreign relations committee
of the senate, which has under consider
alton the Venezuela commission bill sug-
gested by the president, adjourned. A
virtual agreement was reached as to what
should be done.
The bill with some amendments will
pass o-day. The time limited suggested
by Senator Lodge yesterday will not DE
acceptable to the house and Will not be
pressed.
TEXT OF AMENDED.vENEGuELA BILL.
The Venezuelan bi;lss amended'ty tie
senate foreign relatioas committee reads
rs follows: "That the snm of $l00. ZOO,
or 30 much thereof as may be necessary,
be, and same is, hereby appropriated for
the expenses of a commission to consist
of three members, to be appointed by the
president, by and with the advice and
consent of the sc nate, to investigate and
report to him the facts in regard to the
divisional line between the republic of
Venezuela and British Guiana; provided,
that section of an act, approved July
81, 1894, making appropriation for the
legislative and judicial expenses of the
government, shall not apply to the COM
missioners appointed under this act"
oALMNLY CONSIDERED IN THE SENATE.
When the senate met Senator Morgan
offered substitute for the house bill
providing for the Venezuelan commits
sion.
After Senator Morgan had explained
the amendments to the house bill, Sena-
tor Platt, of Connecticut, said that any
delay would be construed in England as
hesitation on our part and 1t was not es-
sential to change the bill. Amendments
would be construed as receding on the
part of the senate and the senate should
notify Great Britain that America was
behind the president.
SHERMAN URGES DELIBERATroN.
Senator Sherman said that the presi-
dent had been approved unanimously by
both houses of congress. England was
not making any fresh aggressions. and
was now taking the matter seriously. He
thought the dispute would be settled hon
orably and that no American blood would
be shed.
ssIt seems to me-" Senator Sherman
said, shat all this is too hasty; that we
are too eager; let us take our time to de-
! liberate and not rush into the matter"
HOUSE BILL UNANIMOUSLY PASSED.
The senate laid the committee amend
ments on the table and by a unanimous
vote passed the house bill.

Thls Sea sernent CUTS ice.


A Newburg young man named Donoghue,
who is some what OF a skater, had sur
prising adventure with an archaeological
monster one afternoon on Orange Lake,
where the ice is quite thick. He went there
with friend from out of town to take a
practice spin on the steels. When they
returned Donoghue told a graphic story of
adventure.
He said that while they were skating
over the half mile track on the lake they
suddenly felt tile ice raise under them. They
quickened their strokes and after proceed
ing short distance further stopped skating
and looked backward. Donoghue says he
was shocked to see the darkcolored, scaly
back of what seemed to be an enormous fish
plowing through the ice at a rapid rate.
Then they started again and mace for land,
running through the snow. By the time
they reached the shore the finny tor scalyl
monster had disappeared under the ice.
Donoghue's theory is that the fish, or
whatever it was, swan into shoai water
and got stuck III the muck. In its efforts
to escape it's saw-like dorsal fin had cut
clear through the ice for forty yards or
more. until it reached deep water again.
Donoghue admits he did not see the whole
creature. but from the size of its back says
it must have been at least thirty-five feet
long-New York Herald.

would be insulted by perfunctory peck.
True art demanded warmth and passion
in love scenes. For herself, when she
threw herself in her lovers arms she for
got the world, the audience, the foot
lights-in fact, everything but her part
and she was not ashamed to say that, in
the interests of true art she kissed her stage
lovers according to the directions in her
script. When true art demanded if, she
did not confine herself TO the exact number
of kisses prescribed by the author.
Arithmetic did not concern the true artist.
Mr. Pierson said that art was all tommy
rot. Kissing was part of the show. He
further observed that business was bust
ness, and requested the Interviewer to put
name to it at the bar across the road.
In general, it may be said that the
opinions of the husbands, brothers, and
other relations coincided with those of the
respective ladies. AS rule, the men eX-

Roman Remains in England.

Ambitious country English archaologists
find so many Roman villas that it is some
times difficult to be satisfied as to their
authenticity. Certain remains, however. OF
a Roman residence of some pretensions have
been lately found at South Darenth, in Kent.
The locality would be about the right one,
because the remains of the villa were found
two miles from that great military Roman
road known as waiting street The pave
ment OF a portico was found, with the tesse-
lated floor of the Atrium. There were
household baths in good preservation. Care
full research showed the tiles of hypocaust,
with the fues in the walls, for heating the
rooms. Among the smaller things there
were boar spears, axes, bracelets, rings,
buckles and ivory pins, with coins of Tetri-
Gus ca. D. 270). A small glass unguent
bottle of elegant form was among the pieces.
The villa, from Its foundations, must have
been large one. Not to be overlooked were
sheets of glass. which were used for the
windows. ws.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

STAGE KISSES.
Prank and Original Views as to Their
Propriety.


IN view Of the discussion on stage kissing
raised 10y the action of a Viennese actress
and her husband, and the discussion aroused
by her refusal to allow herself 10 be kissed
on the stage. 8 number of members Of the
theatrical profession have been aske d
for their opinion for their real or make-be-
lieve theatrical kissing
Miss Montresser, the celebrated Shake
spearian and legitimate actress, sternly
Tepudiated the idea of any one kissing her
on the stage or elsewhere, and she ought TO
know, IS her approximations Of Juliet and
Lady Macbeth are universally pronounced
TO surpass Mrs Siddons in her best days.
She appealed TO her husband, who plays
the second grave-digger style of part. He
agreed in every particular with Miss Mon
tressor
Miss Louie Lollypop, the famous bur
lesQue actress. was short and to the point.
She said Rats What do you think?''
Mr. Lollypop did not recognize himself
by that name, but answered readily to
the name of Bill JoSser. He was inclined
10 be short in the temper at first, but
when the matter was thoroughly explained
TO him became very genial He explained
with unnecessary emphasis that he didn't
care a rap If q whole regiment Of blooming

QuestiOner, whom he called dear boy, ="
10 come and have a drink AT the con-
clusion OF the ceremony he was astonished
TO find that he had left his purse on the
piano
Mrs. Williamson, the great domestic
actress, could not see the slightest necessity
for real kisses THE idea seemed TO her
unchaste Murder, suicide, and drunken
ness were simulated on the stage, and not
really enacted, and kissing should follow
the same rule. She did not even allow her
brother to kiss her on the stage, much less
any other man. Besides, kissing would dis
turb the makeup, and the minds Of young
girls in front, for whom, after all, the
drama was primarily written.
Mr.. Percy de Ia Blague said that be only

hearts who were young enough not 10 find

BATS IN 4 CHURCH.
Frequents Fights With the Rats and Mice
Upon Which They Prey.

Upon Which They Prey.
In the unused basement of an old church
in Riverdale there is colony of bats that
rarely go out, but find their subsistence
among the rats and mice they catch there,
says the New York Sun They hang during
the day head downward from the sides of
the stone foundations by the aid OF the
peculiar hooks which are at the joints of
their wings, and when they are not sleeping
they souTry around after food.
The janitor of the church, whose duties
frequently cause him to go into the base
ment, has several times witnessed battles
between the bats and the large black rats
which infeSt the place A dozen of them
will watch patiently for hours for such
small prey as a mouse and when one ap-
pears they swoop down upon him, and,
after lively struggle amid much sQuealing
and Tapping of wings against each other,
they generally subdue him. After that
fight is over there is another among the bats
themselves to see which shall get the biggest
share of the prey. If in the conflict any OF
the bats is wounded or otherwise incapaci-
tated from taking care of himself the other
bats set upon him and eat him, too.
Last summer the church was entirely
freed from them for a short time. This was
brought about by the furnace tender, who
left the window open till midnight and then
when the bats had flown away on their
nocturnal journeying he closed it, When
the bats returned they tapped around the
window trying to get in and finally had TO
seek another abode Since that time the
windows have been left open and the bats
are just as much at home as ever.

As to Snake Bites.

That no less than $4,000 people should
have perished last year in the Indian province
of Bengal from snake bites shows how little
progress has been made by science toward
the discovery of some antidote for the
poison of these reptiles. The trouble is that
the poison OF nearly every species seems to
affect different organ of the body. Thus
the bite OF a cobra seems to paralyze the
lungs, while the poison of the daboia pro.
duces terrible commissions. From time i'm
memorial physicians of every cline and
race have devoted their energies to the dis
covery of cures for these bites; but Judging
from the heavy list OF casualties from this
source alone in Bengal, the most highly
civilized province and possessed of the best
system Of medical supervision of all English
colonial dependencies, it would seem that all
efforts in this direction have been abortiye.-
