were perpetual joy. Upon this
island a shooting club had a home,
aud the baseball enthusiasts had
their grounds and grand stand.
Altogether it was a most pleasant
resort, In a single night this island
was dissolved into fragments. The

THE PYTHIANS.

The Grand Lodge of Knights Of
Pythians met in twenty-eighth annual
session in Pythian Castle Hall, in Dan
vile, last night, and was called to order
by Grand Chancellor Garrett.
All the representatives and past
chancellors, who had not previously
received the Grand Lodge degree, were
introduced, instructed in same, and
they then took their seats as members
of the Grand Lodge.
Grand Chancellor W. E. Garrett then
read his annual report. The report
alludes to the death of Grand Chan
cellor Hutcheson, commends the Uni
form Rank, makes statement of the

ton for the good of the order.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Senator Hill added another day-the
6fth-in opposition to the bond resolu-
ton in the Senate yesterday. Early in
the session Mr.. PETER, author of the
resolution, announced that he would
seek to force vote at night by holding
the Senate in session until the resolu-
ton was disposed of, but he did not
carry out his announced purpose. He
stated, however, that the resolution
would certainly pass to-day. MIR. Petit
grew supported the bond resolution,
and severely criticised the administra-
ton of the Treasury. The Senator also
criticized Mr.. Sherman for his recent
approval of the Treasury administra-
ton. A large number of pensit
bills were passed at the close of the
day.
Thirty.one republican Senators have
signed petition to the finance com
mittee praying that if any tariff bill is
considered at the present session the
committee will provide for a duty on
wool.
The opponents of the four battleships
sustained an overwhelming defeat IN
the House on the proposition to accept
the Senate amendment to the naval ap-
preparation bill reducing the number to
two. Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, ex-chair-
man of the appropriations committee,
made the motion and supported his
plea for economy with figures as to the
condition of the Treasury for the next
fiscal year. Mr.. Cannon, the chairman
of the appropriations committee, ably
seconded Mr.. Savers. After some per-
tinent remarks by MIR. Boutelle and
Mr.. Cummings, the House voted al to
81 to non-concur in the Senate amend
ments. The House committee on war
claims decided to report bill author
izing any State having a claim for
money expended in suppressing the
rebellion to present it to the Court OF
Claims for adjudication.
Representative Cummings, OF New
York, introduced bill to prohibit the
offering of gifts or prizes in connection
with chewing or smoking tobacco or
cigarettes.
