In the House, the Naval appropriation bill
was considered. Mr.. Boutele the Chairman
of the Committee. made n general statement
in explanation of the provisions of the bill, in
the course of which he spoke in eloquent terms
of the new Navy.
In reply to question from Mr.. Dingley. Mr..
Boutelle explained that about $4,000, 900 was
carried by the bill for the increase in the Navy
already authorized, and SO 256. 600 for work on
the four new batteships aud Is torpedo boats
authorized in the bill. The two battleships
being constructed at Newport News would cost
each 81, 225 900 for hull and machinery, $780,
600 for armor, and $4,000, 600 for armament.
Assuming that would be the cost OF the four
new battleships authorized by the bill, they
in the Navy authorized by the bill would cost
for completion about S35, 100000.

In the House, the Sundry Civil bill was not
taken up, and it is understood that the refusal
of a majority of the members to be governed
by the action Of the leaders was due in large
degree to the denuded condition in which the
Sundry Civil bill was reported from the com.
mttee. Instead of providing for the appropria-
tions in the usual way and for the usual period,
the measure makes appropriation in the ma
jority of cases only for eight months.

In the Senate, the feature of the days pro-
ceedings was y speech by Senator Mills. Of
Texas, who plead for Cuba. Mr.. Mills favored
positive action. The people of Cuba, he said,
had far greater claims on the United States
than mere recognition of belligerency. If Ire
land struck for liberty to-day the hearts of the
American people would beat in sympathy. and
so if Poland Hungary asserted the right
OF liberty. But the United States had much
closer relations to Cuba than to ireland or Po-
land or Hungary, for it was part of the West
ern Hemisphere, over which the Monroe Doc
trine extended the influence of this country.

HALL GAME, who was recently in
the United States, says Of American
women; "They are superior intellect
ually to the men. This has come
about as a consequence of the Amer
lean mans putting the American
woman on pedestal and worshiping
her. He has stayed below the pedestal
and worked for her, not having time
TO cultivate his mind and manners
while he so worked. But she has had
plenty of time, and she has made the
best use of it. I consider that the
reverse is the case in England. The
average Englishman is superior to
the average Englishwoman in intelli-
gence and education. In America,
the woman have known their own
value and set it rather high for a
couple of generations at least" This
is the result of the pedestal worship
Of the American men. Do the Amer
lean women appreciate the attitude
of the American men toward them?
It is doubtful.

win Breed Monaghan Pheasants.

At special meeting OF the state
game and fish commission, held in st.
Paul Friday afternoon, plans were
adopted to secure a supply OF spawn
of the walleyed pike. 1t is proposed
to propagate this fish more extensive
iy than ever, and to stock the lakes
and rivers with it. 1t is thought
that 100, 900, 900 eggs will be necessary
for use this year Much of this will
be obtained from pike coming from
the Mississippi, and the remainder
from the northern streams OF the
state. Executive Agent Fullerton is
instructed to go to Tower at once and
make arrangements to secure spawn
from Lakes Vermilion and Kabet-
ogama. There has been some ques-
tion as to whether the spawn of the
pike could be successfully transported,
but Special Agent Wires of the
government hatchery, at Duluth,
states that he has kept them in boxes
for at least a month and then Matched
them successfully.
1t was also decided to go in for
breeding Monaghan pheasants and
stocking the timber with them.
These birds are we'll adapted to the
rigorous climate of the Northwest,
and are very prolific. Plans for the
better protection of bass and other
fish during the spawning season were
also talked over.

Since William Dean Howells first
interviewed "a Traveller from A}tru-

good is observed, has commanded a
certain amount Of interest, and now
there is. running, in one OF the
magazines, an account of visit to
that speculative district. But Altru-
ria, whatever it's merits, could not be
any better than, the. territory travers-
ed by the Saint Paul & Duluth rail
road, for that territory is picturesque
and productive and peopled, by the
best class of citizens. The Saint
Paul & Duluth railroad is more gen.
orally known as the Duluth Short
Line, and has enjoyed that title for
years among its patrons, for it. is the
best line to take when travelling be-
tween ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylors
Falls and other important North
western points. 1t has always been
noted for its ample facilities, as it
runs fast and luxurious trains smooth
