WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 12.-In
the Senate to-day Hansbrough (R.) of
North Dakota introduced bill to grant a
Federal charter to company to be known

posed canal connects Lake Erie with Lake
Ontario, and from the latter lake on the st.
Lawrence River to Lake Champlain, and
thence to the water in the Hudson River
The charter is lengthy, and provides for
the regulation of traffic and tolls by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, for
rigid limitation of charges and an annual
report to the Government.
In discussing his bill Mr.. Hansbrough
said he had been told that if our Congress
will not grant the required charter the
company is prepared to and will go ahead

While the insurgents agreed to permit the
milling of 100000 tons of sugar by their
friends, the Spanish in turn will prevent
the milling of the crop of the friends of the
insurgents.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE.
Tsco Interesting Contested Election Cases
Considered.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12.-The
House to-day spent all of its time in con-
sidering contested election cases. One of
them. that OF H. Dudley Coleman VS..
Charles F. Buck, from the Second Louisi-
ana District, was disposed of without de-
bate by the adoption of the resolutions
unanimously reported by Elections Com
mittee No. 2 that Coleman (R.) was not
elected and that Buck CD had been and
was entitled to his seat.
Debate upon the other-William F.
Aldrich VS.. CASTOR A. Robbins, from the
Fourth Alabama District-was begun and
continued for several hours under an
agreement that several hours should be
allowed for debate. In this case there
were three reports-two by the Republican
majority, agreeing that Aldrich was elect
ed and should be seated, but differing as
to the size of his majority. The minority
admit that the majority of 3736 returned
for Robbins should be reduced to 559-
still amply sufficient to warrant their
recommendation that he retain his seat.
The majority recommendation was sup
ported by Moody of Massachusetts, Lin

A Daughter's Part at Home.

One of the sweetest things Il girl
can do is to receive friends graciousiy,
particularly at home. In ones own
house q cordial manner is peculiarly
fitting. Do not stand off in the MID
die Of the room and bow c0ldly ana
formally to the friend who has called.
Walk over to meet her, give her your
hand. and say, pleasantly, that you
are very glad to see her again. Sti1,
cold and formal ways Of greeting ac-
quaintances are not proper in glrl
welcoming guests TO her fathers
house. A daughters part is to assist
her mother on every social occasion.
The girl pours the tea in her mothers
drawing room when friends drop in at
) o'clock. Quite often. when no maid
is present. she helps the guests to the
sandwiches and the cakes which are
served ut ) o'clock tea. and herself
hands the cups ard takes them from
the guest who would ike to be re-
lievcd.
Apart from, ard more important
even, than her manner to q guest who
happens in for an hour or Il day. is the
manner Of a daughter 10 her father
and mother. The father returns TO
his home after wearying day at
business. He is tired in body and
mind. Coming back, as his latch-key
turns in the home door. he throws off
care; he is joyous at the thought Of
the dear ones he will meet after hours
of absence. His young daughter, in q
pretty gown. with the bloom and
freshness only girlhood wears. should
be ready to give him the attention he
loves-the kiss, the CHEEKY word-to
help her mother and the rest in let
ting her father sec how much he is
loved at home. Men give up great
deal for their familieS-their time.
their strength. the knowledge they
have gained in life's experiences-they
spend everything freely for their
homes sake. and the home should pay
it's debt in much outspoken love
