Sayers, of Texas, Has the Unspeakable
Nerve to Arraign the Republicans
for Extravaganza.
HIS PLANT BEFORE The HOUSE
Amendments and Changes Proposed
for the Arbitration Treaty Now
Under Discussion by Congress.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The senate wen'
into executive session at 1920 p. M, to.
day on motion of Sherman, for the
purpose of taking up the arbitration
treaty. The senate was Immediately in.
formed that the committee on foreign
relations had agreed upon an amend
ment, which it was hoped would ensue
the speedy acceptance of the treaty by
the senate. This amendment as read,
was directly in the line indicated by the
Associated Press dispatches of last night,
putting into words Senator Turpie's idea,
that the effect of the treaty would be to
bring, back to the senate for its accept
ance, all questions passed upon by the
proposed board OF arbitration.
1t was also stated to be the purpose of
the committee to withdraw all amend.
ments heretofore suggested by the COM
mittee in belief that the amendment now
made, would be sufficient to meet all the
obligations advanced against the treaty.
It soon developed, however, that proceed
ings in the committee had not been 80
harmonious as friends of the treaty had
been led to believe, and that Senator Nor
gan and other opponents agreement had
made it clear that even with the amend
ments, the treaty would not be accepta-
BILE. So evident was this opposition that
advocates of ratifi cation became con-
vinced for the first time, that notwith-
standing the conciliatory spirit manifest
ed by friends of the document, it would
still be necessary for it to fight it's way
through the senate. Other amendments
we're suggested by individual members of
the senate during to days session. One
of these was by Senator Chandler and
was to bind both of the contracting par
ties to this treaty to make similar agree.
ments with other nations, whether weaker
or possessing larger war establishments.
Another amendment declared 1t the pur-
pose of the present treaty to promote
the policy of military disarmament and
exemplify the principles of arbitration.
suNDRY APPROPRIATIONS.
The house oday at once resumed con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill. Can
non denied that it was intended to pass
the bill Monday under a suspension of
the rules, but he called attention to the
fact that March 4, is drawing near, and
the naval and general deficiency appro-
priation bills have not been acted upon
as yet. He explained that large IN
crease in the sundry civil appropriation
due to the necessity to provide for the
river and harbor and public building con-
tracts heretofore authorized. Sayers,
Democrat, of Texas, made speech ar
raigning the Republicans for extravag-
ance. He asserted total expenditures of
this congress would reach $45,000000 In
excess of $1,000,0O0,O00 declared that Re-
publicans could not frame tariff bill to
get enough money to run the government
unless expenses were reduced.

LIS RESPECT FOR THE DEAD.
Nothing Served Him in Better Stead In His
Travels Through Christendom.

Nothing Served Him in Better Stead In HIS
Travels Through Christendom.
Nothing served Ii Hung Chang in
better stead on his travels through
Christendom than the respect for the
dead which he learned in his deaI
heather home. Ancestor-worship IL
understood to be one of the great him
derances to progress in China. 1t in
terferes with railroad building because
you cannot run railroad far in any
direction in China without coming to
graveyard, and then there is trouble,
and the surveyors are chased on by
mob. But it is poor prejudice that
is not OF use to man somewhere.
Doubtless it is to this strong Celestial
prejudice in favor Of the comfort oil
the departed and the repose of ances-
trail bones that Ii owes those unrival-
| led mortuary manners which have
been SO warmly admired in Christian
lands. His attentions to Gen. Gordon
| in England were almost as remarkable
and gave almost as much satisfaction
| as his attentions here to Gen. Grant
| In London he went to see Gordon's
| statue in Trafalgar Square, to which
| he had previously sent wreath of
! laurels and violets. After observing
| it carefully through an opera-glass, he
| advanced land, with an air of great
! solemnity and dignity, made pro-
found bow before the statue, his exam
pie being followed by his suite" The
effect Of this mark of respect upon
the spectators" said the London
| Times, was instantaneous. With one
accord they broke into applause. loud
ly cheering, clapping their hands, and
giving utterance to other expressions
of appreciation" From the statue Ii
went to ST. PauTs to see the Gordon
cenotaph That also he decorated with
| wreath, and bowed low before 1t
| when he approached, and again when
he went away. An Englishman could
no more bow low before the tomb or
the statue of a deceased person than
an American could. A Frenchman has
some talent of this sort, as appeared
on the recent anniversary of the as
sassination of President Carnot, when
the two sons of the murdered Presi-
dent conducted President Faure to
their fathers tomb in the Pantheon.
and supported him during his medita-
tions. The most the British and the
Americans can do is to take off their
hats and assume respectful attitudes.
But when a man can bow low before
the trophies of the dead without do
ing violence to his training, we like to
see him do il, especially when he ma es
his obeisances to the shades of heroes
of the dimensions of Gordon and
Grant. 1t is proper to add that the
evident sincerity of Lis reverences had
everything to do with their effective
ness. He was lucky in having manners
which enabled him to express his feel
ings. but he really had the feelings,
and both in Gordon's case and Grants
they were At and proper.-Harper's
Weekly.
