The senate is still in the throes of
discussion over the question of Cuban
recognition. The senators continue to
discuss the subject with the fluency of
men trained in the art Of tongue wag-
ging and with the absorption of indi-
viduals conscientiously believing that
they have nothing else to do. With
the senate as at present constituted
the Cuban diversion may be godsend
to the country. There is no estimating
what damage the body might have
worked if it had given the same atten-
ton to domestic that it has to Cuban
affairs. The United States senate,

The San Joaquin Valley railroad is

at good rate. The great Siberian
railway is also making big Roadway
According to the report of United
States Consul General Karal at st.
Petersburg, 918 miles of road were con-
structed in 1895, making total of 1919
miles completed up to the end of last
year. This constitutes more than one
third the entire route. Unless political
events disturb the work it is probable
that inside of another two years it will
be possible to make an all rail trip
from the capital Of Russia to the Pa
cific ocean across bleak Siberia. This
railway enterprise is undoubtedly des-
tined to make wonderful changes in

ical power in eastern Asia. In fact it's
completion is almost certain to lead to

How q Small Thing Stopped Operations
on Great War ship.
Lieut.. Emile Duboc tells TN amusing
story of an event, which, he says, GER
tainly led to the downfall of hydraulic
machinery in the French service. A
few years ago the authorities OF great
shipbuilding firm were very much per-
turbed when the trials for turning thu
turrets of new battle ship, in the pre~
ence of the committee appointed to take
over the ship, were failures. A day or
two before everything had gone salts
factorily. But now the turret. afteE
some slight movements, stuck fast.
The gauges indicated the normal pres
sure; there was nothing wrong witt
the turret or with the racks for rotat-
ing it; there was no perceptible leak
in any OF the pipes, and it was so i'm
possible to assign any reason for the
behavior OF the turret that the COM
mittee had to go home without seeing
it revolve. That evening and the fol-
lowing day a complete overhaul was
made of the system Of piping, and it
was then discovered that one small but
important pipe was completely choked
by "quid" of chewed tobacco. which a
workman had doubtless let fall into it
inadvertently. When this wns re-
moved the turret worked as well as
ever. but the disquietude caused by the
want of success of the day before was
only increased when IL was discovered
how insignificant the cause had been.
From that day the naval authorities de-
cided that in future wherever practic-
able the power for battle ship opera
lions should be carried by a wire in
stead of a steam pipe.

From some strange instinct he knew
that he had witnessed the scene. and
from some equally strange intuition he
was annoyed by il. But he continued
his way, visiting one or two outposts
ard returned by a long detour TO his
quarters. As he stepped upon the
veranda he saw Miss Faulkner at the
lotion of the garden talking with some
ore across the hedge. By the aid of
his glass he could recognize the shape
~ figure of the mulatto woman which
he had seen before. But by its aid he
also discovered that she was carving
flower exactly like the one which Miss
Faulkner still held in her hand. Had
she been with Miss Faulkner in the
lane-and If so, why had she disap-
pcared when he came up? lmpelled
10y something stronger than mere GU
riosity, he walked quickly down the
garden, but she evidently had noticed
him. for she quickly disappeared. Not
caring TO meet Miss Faulkner again. he
retraeed his steps, resolving that he
would on the first opportunity per-
sonally examine and interrogate this
new visitor. For if she were to take
Miss Faulkner's place even in a subor-
dinate capacity-this precaution was
clearly within his rights.
lie reentered his room and seated
himself at his desk before the dis
patches, orders and reports awaiting
him. He found himself, however. work.
ing half mechanically. and recurring to
his late interview with Miss Faulkner
in the lane. If she had any inclination
TO act the spy, or TO use her position
here as a means of communicating with
the enemys lines, he thought he had
thoroughly frightened her. Neverthe-
less, now, for the first time. he was in
clined to accept his chiefs opinion of
her. She was not only too clumsy and
inexperienced, but she totally lacked
the self-restraint of a spy. Her nerv-
Gus agitation in the lane was due to
something more disturbing than his
mere possible intrusion upon her conf
dence with the mp!atto.
On the contrary, il seemed to be per-
sonal TO himself. He recalled the sin
gular significance of her question:
Then il swar ?" He recalled her strange
allusion to his wife; was il merely the
outcome of his own foolish confession
on their first interview, or was it a
concealed ironical taunt? Having sat
isfied himself that she was not likely to
imperil his public duty in any way, he
was angry with himself for speculat-
ing further. But, although he still felt
toward her the same antagonism she
had at first provoked, he was conscious
that she was beginning to exercise a
strange fascination on him.
Diminishing her at last with an effort,
he finished his work and then rose and

trust a few more important orders and
