the assured absence Of disreputabls tao
tics and rowdyism In general.

Rond and Reyenne RlIIs.

The Republican members of the House
ways and means committee have acted
promptly in answer to the Presidents ap-
peal for legislation to protect the gold re-
serve and help the finances. On Wednes-
day, by strict party vote in the commit
tee, two bills were agreed to- One is for
per cent fve-year bonds, the proceeds to
be used only to protect the gold reserve,
and for $50,000,O00 of three-year
per cent emergency certificates, to be is
sued in small denominations, the proceeds
to be used to meet temporary deficiencies.
The other bill is to provide additional rev.
enue. 1t increases the duty on wool and
manufactures of wool, lays a duty on lum-
Der, and on all other articles of import
makes horizontal increase of 10 per cent.
But provision is made that no rate of duty
on any article shall exceed that imposed by
the Mckinley law of 1890 1t is estimated
that this bill, if enacted, will raise $40,-
600, 900 of additional revenue. Its provis-
ions are to remain in force only until
August, 1898.
Both these bills were presented in the
House Thursday by Chairman Dingley,

The society of the army of the Tennes-
ee at its last meeting appointed a com
mittee TO solicit contributions for a statue
of General William T. Sherman, to be
erected at the national capital. 1t is now
ann ounced that the full amount of $780,
900 by voluntary subscription of those
who served under General Sherman has
been raised, and that $4,000 of this amount
will be paid out in prizes to the successful
competitor and to those whose designs
were determined to be the second and
third best.
Rev. NJ. j. Savage will not leave his
Boston church to become the active minis
ter of Robert Collyer's church in New
York. To settle the question of Mr. Saw
age staying in Boston once for all the
church of the Unityhas decided on a radi-
cal step. While one of the most popular
and largely attended churches in Boston it
lacks moneyed men among its members,
but Notwithstanding this the society has
voted to buy lot and build fine new
church in the Back Bay district at an ex-
pense of a quarter of million dollars, and
put itself on a basis where it will command
support and its future will be assured.

: he Week in Congress.

The Senate passed unanimously last
Friday the House bill approprating $780,
900 for a commission to investigate and
report concerning the disputed boundary
between Venezuela and British Guiana.
There was some discussion of the bill,
Senator Sherman being the principal
speaker in behalf of certain proposed modi-
fications, but he argued with the other
senators on the Importance of sustaining
the President and the bill passed just as it
come from the House.
The day Friday was one of the most
exciting which Washington has seen for
years. The first excitement over the
possibility of a war with England was
still on, and as the morning hours wore
away news of the panic at the New York
stock exchange began to crowd the wires,
with appeal on appeal from the business
and commercial centres to stop the war
talk and do something to stem the tide of
disaster. After prolonged cabinet meet
ing a special message on the financial
situation was drawn up by the President
and was transmitted to Congress about
4:30. Its essential points are given
elsewhere. The message aroused the
wrath of the silver contingent in the
Senate and it was allowed to lie on the
table in that body without the usual refer
ence to committee.
The Senate had already voted to take the
usual recess over the holidays, but as
result of the Presidents appeal the joint
resolution was allowed to die in the House,
and for the first time since 1922 Congress
remains nominally in session over the
holidays, while the House committee on
ways and means is at work upon the
formulation of measure of relief which
will be submitted at the earliest moment
practicable.

The United States Senate passed Tues
day the bill introduced last week by Mr.
Hill of New York to repeal the law forbid
ding the enlistment of .Confederates in
the army or navy. This bill was introduc-
ed in response to petitions from ex-Con-
federates who, following the Presidents
"war'' message, stated their desire to serve
under the old flag in case of hostilities.
There was an animated discussion over
Senator Sherman's motion to refer the bill
to a committee, but no senator objected to
the passage of the bill as a matter of prin-
ciple

The Field Columbian Museum, Chicago.
Many reminders of the Worlds Fair re-
main in Chicago, but the distinctive mOnu-
ment of the great exposition is the Field
Columbian museum, which occupies the
graceful building known as the Art Palace
in the days of Jackson Parks departed
greatness. 1t is but little more than year
since this institution was opened to the
public, yet in many departments it stands
today in the van of American museums for
completeness and size. There can be no
doubt that in the American ethnology and
in anthropology the Field museum sur
passes the national collections at Washing
ton. Likewise, in the department of trans
portation, in economic geology, and in bot
any the Chicago museum surpasses all
others on this side of the Atlantic. Its
Columbus memorial collection is absolutely
unique, and can never be duplicated.
That the youngest of great cities should,
almost without knowing it, already be in
possession of one of the greatest of Ameri-
can museums, is perhaps but fair reward
for the enterprise and industry that gave
the world the magnificent "White City" in
1898, and that drained Chicago of the many
millions which it is only now beginning to
regain. There have been days this sum-
mer when the crowded halls of the museum
reminded one of the Worlds Fair times,
and when 5000 people went through the
turnstiles. The highest attendance in any
one day since the opening has been II, 1856.
In the great rotunda, well remembered
by all Worlds Fair visitors, the central at
traction is st. Gaudens's imposing statue
of Columbus, which stood at the entrance
of the administration building during the
fair, facing the statue of the Republic and
the peristyle South of the rotunda lies
the court filled with Mexican and Central
American antiquities, while to the north
the gigantic totem poles and heraldic
columns of Alaska present strange con-
trasts and comparisons. In the east court
the Viking ship and the Santa Maria sail
on in state, and here are the treasures of
American anthropology, including one of
the most complete exhibits of Peruvian
relics in existence. Speaking in general
terms the museum is divided by an imag-
mary line drawn north and south through
the central court, man and his works Occu-
pying the east half of the building, and the
works of nature the west.

The ElenentS.

The Connecticut river, on April Is aud
IL, reached the highest point ever known,
with the exception of the freshet of 1862.
The island opposite Brattleboro was COW
efed with water, and the meadows for
miles were inland seas. S. A. Alexander,
jr., and James Fitzgerald of Bellows Falls
were drowned by the overturning of ca
noe near Putney, and VIM. Burke was
drowned by falling from the bridge at Bel
lows Falls. Burke's body was found at
West Chesterfield, N. H., May 20, but the
bodies of Alexander and Fitzgerald were
not recovered. The water rose to high
pitch in the Connecticut April and 8, the
first floor of the barns on the island being
flooded. A decided cold wave came May
10 to 10, the thermometer falling to 80.
The heaviest wind and rain storm of the
season occurred Sept II.

hours debate, the tariff bill should go up
on its passage at o'clock. In his speech
accompanying the presentation of the
bill Mr.. Dlngley said in substance that It
was not intended as protective bill, or as
an expression of Republican sentiment on
the tariff, but simply as a means of relief
and to tide the treasury over the existing
crisis. When put to vote soon after )
o'clock the bill was carried POS to 81.
The passage of the bond bill by the
House is expected today Both bills will
provoke prolonged discussion in the Sen
ate. The tariff bill may possibly be car
ried through that body by the aid of Pop
ulist votes, but there is small chance that
the silver men will permit the passage of
the bond bill.
