WASHINGTON, May 6.-The final vote
on the resolution for en- investigat
OF recent bond Issues will be taken In
the Senate ct 4 .. M. tomorrow. and
from test votes IL will undoubtedly
pass.
The voting came after Mr.. Hill had
added another lively instalnent to his
speech. including q sharp criticism of
Mr.. Pettigrew and personal exchange
with Mr.. Wolcost. when the latter tried
to call Mr.. Hill to order.
The intimation Of o revival of the
Cuban questioned VISA presented when
Mr.. Morgan moved to refer to the COM
mittee on foreign relations q resolution
he introduced some time since for the
recognition of the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents.
II believe the time has arrived" pro.
ceeded Mr.. Morgan, when in sheer
justice to our own people, without
reference to its effects on the Cubans,
that we should declare that state OF
war exists there. do not believe Con-
gress can afford to adjourn leaving this
question in It's present state before the
world"
The resolution was referred In ac-
cordance with Mr.. Morgan's request.
At o'clock the bond resolution was
taken up, Mr. Hill taking the floor to
continue his speech.
One statement read by the clerk at
Mr.. Hills request was bitter and per-
sonally critical of Mr.. Pettigrew, de-
claring that he had "humiliated" him
self. agreeing to give up his silver views
In order to get &C the foot Of the dele
gstion OF the national convention. At
this point Mr.. Wolcott rose and made
point OF order against the further read
ing Of these extracts.
ut Is contrary to every canon Of de-
cency and good TASTE" declared Mr..
Wolcost holly, ito read an irresponsible
newspaper article personally slandering
q member OF this body. If IL must be
res let the Senator read it himself"
I'm answer to the unnecessary and
entirely unbecominR statement of the
Senator from Colorado" responded Mr..
Hill, addressing Mr.. Wolcost. "let me
tell him that on yesterday the Senator
from South Dakota (Pittigrew) read q
newspaper article bitterly slanderous
and abusive OF the President OF the
United States and the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and such articles can be read
without retallstion in kind"
hr. Hill resumed his speech, but IL
would be without quorum an hour
later when the vote WAS to be taken.
Mr. Harris proposed that Mr.. Hill have

with the prospect of continuous ses-
sion for twenty-four hours. The special
order adopted yesterday set aside to-
day and Wednesday, the 18th, for the
confederation Of private pension bills,
with q limitation of ten minutes on

INDIANA SAFE.

Indiana is considered safe from Mr.
Hanna. because it has a new law
which provides that the man who ac-
cepts Il consideration for casting his
vote in a specified manner, or for vot-
ing at all, may recover, by an action
at law. $500 from the person who
bribed him. The first ease under the
law came up a few days ago. The
defense claimed that the man was no,
bribed because he did not vote, but
the Appellate Court held that if the
view taken by the defense was correct
it defeated the very purpose of the law
The briber did all in his power to cor
rupt the voter and his crime was the
same whether the voter kept faith
with him or not. This law and the
construction given it by the Courts in
sures Indiana to Bryan.

A Lie Nailed

Cincinnati, Oct. 23.-The statement
from Washington to the effect that l.;
Hung Chang while here had old Secre-
tary Carlisle that China was to be placed
on a gold basis was repeated to the Secre-
tary today by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, who found him at the home
of Frank P. Helm in Covington, and he
was asked about the matter.
Mr.. Carlisle at once said the statement
was wrong. While he could not be expected
to make public matters contided to him by
the Chinese Premier during his visit at
Washington, there was no improperly in
saying that Ii Hung Chang's converse
ton about the affairs of China was all
based on the assumption that the present
financial system should not be changed,
and of course, under this state of facts, it
could not AVE been possible that Ii Hung
Chang could have told Secretary Carlisle
that China would change its financial
policy.
Carlisle excused himself from stating
any further facts, because his interview
with the Chinese representative was for
the most part official, and he remarked it
was not possible for him to say that no
intention to change the financial basis was
re,ealed in their conversation.

leaves tile Democratic party in it's

Government to those old foundations
laid by Jefferson il Jackson need
not expect t, come back until ne has
fully atoned for the sin he commits
this year. Cheers The Bible tells us

HOW TO READ THE STREAKS.
Such Streaks, if useless as stellar pic

i've. They reveal to US the nature and
the extent of the movement of the
comet during the period which the ex-

streak expresses the apparent distance
through which the comet has moved.
while the direction of the streak indi-
Gates the direction in which the comet
IS moving. AT first sight, this latter
circumstance may appear somewhat
puzzling. We are accustomed to see a
shower of sparks extending out behind
a skyrocket, and this tail to the rocket
follows generally the track along which
the rocket has itself advanced. But the
tail of a comet bears a relation 70 The

of the comets tail is governed by the

1t may well be asked how it has come
to pass that the stars are represented
