decided upon.
The most important of a series Of
amendments to the address will direct
ly challenge the Government on the
Irish financial reform question. AS has
before been stated in this cable corre-
srondence John Dillon and John Red
mond will each offer an amendment,
but under the development of what is
called the New Unionism'' the Govern
ment will have to face much more for
n,idable opponents than the leaders of
the two sections of the Irish Parlia
mentary party. The Irish Uninoists,
led by Colonel Saunderson, member for
North Armagh, who is celebrated for
his bitter opposition to home rule, pro-
pose to attack the Government on the
ia xation question, and if the pending
arrangements are carried out Colonel
Saunderson will move an amendment
which will be seconded either by Dill
Ion or Timothy Healy. showing the
strange political bedfellows that have
been made by the taxation question.
The debate ON the address is expected
to last over two weeks, and there is in
creasing uneasiness among the Minis
terialists as to it's issues. No defeat of
the Government is expected, but it is
feared there will be such depletion of
the Unionist majority as will force the
Cabinet to deal with Irish matters
within convenient promptitude.
The Nationalist Unionist coalition
grows in strength rapidly. Ireland will
not await deliverance from the new
committee, through which the Govern
ment designs to delay dealing with the
Irish demands for financial redress. If
the Irish members of adj political faiths
fail to obtain some better satisfaction
of their demands than the appointment
of a new commission they can make the
whole session a campaign of obstruc-
ton, which would blast the Govern

Ex.Mayor D. c. Bell has "shied his castorp into the political arena and his announcement as a candi- date for Mayor and the policies for which he stands will be found else where in this issue. MT. Bells eonrse of action is dpe te the seiei- tations of large number of friends and it was not until late hour yes terday that he yielded to their solicitations and consented to make the race,
 Mr. Bell, previous to MT. Gold smiths administration, served as Mayor of the city for one full term, and during the latter part of his ad- ministration inaugurated many of the policies which have resulted so beneficially to the city. He gave the city of Pine Bluff a wise, saga cious and energetic administration, and evlnced q backbone in dealing with public affairs that was gratify- ing and greatly redounded to the public good.
 His past services as Mayor and as a Member of the Board of Public Affairs have made him familiar with all the detailed workings Of the city government, and have all the better qualified him for the position to which he now aspires. Should he be elected we have no doubt but that he would give this city bold, fearless and efficient administration, and so conduct public affairs as to bring down upon his head the plaudits of this people.

4 REMARK1BLE TER.
Washington Post,

Washington RoSt,i
 Probably the most remarkable petetion ever addressed by mortal man to the Almighty was the prayer of Key. Mr Dannelley, chaplain of the Arkansas Senate, some days ago;
 Almighty God. our gracious heavenly Father, through Thy kind providence we have lived to see another day, and the city of Little Rock is at q stir, because of the arrival of a distinguished guest in the person of the Hon. W. ]. Bryan, who, according to previ- ous arrangement was to have arrived on yes terday but was unavoidably detained, which caused him not to be able to meet his engage ment but no serious accident having be- 1 fallen him, he arrived at an early hour this | morning, and was met and greeted by thous- ands. This distinguished guest is considered one of the greatest men of the continent in some respects; travel as fur and deliver as many or more speeches in the same length of time than any other man upon the conti- nent. We pray Gods protecting care over him, and that no accident may befall him while on his return to his home and family. May Gods blessing rest upon the audience that may assemble here today, and that none of them may meet with accident or harm. May heavens choicest blessing rest upon the General Assembly now convened in this city, and especially the Senate. May they finish their work with credit to themselves and honor to tho government, and when their work is done return to their homes and their families and finally may we all meet in the home and heaven of the hlest. These favors we ask in christ's name Amen"
 There is something infinitely pa thetic in this utterance. The spec tacle of Rev. Mr. Dannelley, of Ar kansas, carefully informing the Jehovah as to the events of the pre- vions two days, entering into a de- tailed explanation of MT. Bryans belated arrival, reassuring heaven as to the gentlemans safety, and elaborately recounting his claims to greatness this spectacle is alto gether the most touching that we have witnessed in the course of 8 long and varied experience. Of course, we have read or heard of al leged prayers, concoeted by irrev- erent persons for purposes of ridi- cule Nothing is easier than to be sacrilegious Ribaldry is perhaps the cheapest article on earth. But it is evident that the Rev. MT. Dan nelly was in simple and unfeigned earnest; that he spoke reverently and in good faith. No thought of impiety entered his mind. Even when he asked the Lord to discrimi- nate in favor of the Senate as against the House in the dispensa- tion of His favor one can see that he was praying with real fervor. Clearly it never once occurred to this excellent shepherd that he was impertinent. Decidedly it is the most interesting prayer of which we have knowledge or recollection.

SENATOR THURsToN has introduced a bill in Congress to give pension of $15 q month to all ex-slaves. 1t was introduced for the purpose of enabling a lot of swindlers to rob the negroes and they are now talk ing advantage of the opportunity. 1t is represented to the negroes that it is necessary to raise money to push the bill through, and the credulous old negroes are easily inn posed upon.

Occasionally a lively passage at arms between the Senators, or some naive suggestion happens to arouse public attention and awaken inter- est in thatstaid and sedate body. H few days ago ripple of laughter was created when a bill was intro duced in the Senate for the relief of William ]. Bryan, and on the 18th inst. there was considerable amuse- ment when Senator Stewart, of Nevada, introduced a bill for the relief of one Corbett, of Carson City.

ssastioouev,o Salmon.

4 novel question has beon raised in Forest and Stream which is of interest to the fishermen who fish in artificially stocked waters. For some reason or other q fisherman got the notion that the salmon in the Restigouche river were not so game now as ill past years Another of the Restigouche fishers was of the same mind If there is anything the sportsman angler does not want ees''ii.i e'ii.ii will not hayo if he can help it, it is the deterioration of the fighting quail ties of his fish. He would like to have tho fish go into training if possible.
 What the fishermen want to know is what is the matter with the Restigouche salmon? It appears that tho stream has been stocked to Q considerable extent during late years, and if this stocking has taken the nerve out of the salmon every one who is interested in fish wanta to know the reason why, and, moro yet, the remedy. It Is well known that the hand reared English pheasants arc not to be compared with wild American ruffed grouse in any particular. If the artificial propagation of fishes is going to result in taking the fight out of American game fish, 1t will be 8 sad thing to the minds of men who fish for fun, and not for profit.

4 Century of French Dress.

Tho tailor made gown, severe Ill shape and soant in ornamentas;on, though cc. oasionaliy worn in France. was never universally seen on well bred folk. as it was for some years on English and American danes and maids. It was English in taste and too plain to suit French fancy.
 Nor have the varying attempts at "common sense dress" be it in the shape of bloomers. divided skirt or "rainy day skirt, ever found adher- ents and wearers in France; nothing could be more remote from French taste, which Is for woman's dress above everything elso thoroughly feminine. And even when masculine garments have been copied for women 6 wear they have received from French modemakers a touch or shape which has taken away their severity of outline
 It is interesting to note that though nearly all our fashions in America are French in origin. and ell receive their element of pcrusNrisy and life from Francs. yet they are most frequently seen In extseme shapes tn America. No truly elegant or no2eh Parisian dress maker ever sent from her shop the enor- nous leg cf mutton sleeves seen within the past two years in our great Ameri- can cities Nor would she offer the spreading skirts with heavy interlining throughout of stiff material. The French skirts were infinitely w;do nrid haiing, but they were graceful and compara. lively light In America we accent tho fashions. and do not always improve them. ---Alice Morse Earl in Chautau- uuan.

Star aEensnrementa.

In paper published in The Astro. nomische Nachrichten Dr. Sec shows how, by Q very ready method, determt nation may be made of tho absolute di- mensions of the orbits of bright and rapidly revolving binary stars by single spectroscopio measures of the motions in the limo of sight of the component stars, and from the dimensions and oth- CT known data of the orbits the actual masses of the stars and their distances from tho earth can be easily calculated. But perhaps the most important result claimed for this method is the means it furnishes of testing the question whether tho Newtonian law of gravitation ap, plies to stellar systems as well as to the solar system. Dr. Sec shows the manner in which may be calculated the motion in the line of sight in all parts of the binary orbit, these calculations being based upon the law of gravitation and q single spectroseopie measure. If such measures be continued upon number of pairs while tho stars complete their revolutions, and the computed and ob- served motions i'll the line of sight agree throughout, within reasonable limits of error, it will be strong proof of the uni. versatility of the Newtonian law.
