It is well known that the queen has 2
dislike to the smell of tobacco, and even
such a constant smoker as the Prince OF
Wales is careful to deotlorize himself as
much as possible before being received
by his royal mother Perhaps the late
John Brown took her majesty aversion
more coolly than any one else, FOR his
sporran was always crammed with a
mixture peculiarly black and strong.
On one occasion the late Duke CT
Sutherland sent some live deer to Wind
scr under the charge Of his head keeper,
who, having seen his charges safely
housed, foregathered with Brown, and
smoke and whisky speedily combined ia
no small quantities. While the carouse
was progressing John was hastily sum-
moned TO the queens presence, and

clothes. His sovereign lady soon detect

cotton. Vest pointed out that the Nc
Kinley rate was 1910 cents, the Viii.
son bill made cotton ties free, and ths
Senate bill now proposed to make the
rate 40 cents per pound. Cotton was
SO depressed that the restoration OF
duty was not warranted. Vest said.
Mills Of Texas, also opposed the rate,
saying 1t was equivalent to 10 cents a
bale on cotton or 100000 on cotton
crop of 100000 bales. Why was this
distinction between the North and
South? he asked. Why did the North
receive free binding Irvine while thu
cotton ties OF the South were taxed.
Bacon of Georgia, called on the com
mittee to explain the distinction be-
tween the wheat growers Of the North
and cotton growers Of the South. Theirs
was no response and Vest offered al
amendment to strike cotton ties from
the dutiable list. The amendment was
defeated: Yeas. q; nays. %. and the
paragraph was agreed to as reported.
On the Vest amendment on cotton
ties, Pritchard Of North Carolina, and
Deboe Of Kentucky, were the only men
from Southern sections voting in the
negative. Harris Of Kansas, HeitfelC
and Kyle voted with the Democrats
in the affirmative and Jones of Nevada,
and Stewart with the Republicans In
the negative.

steel were agreed to as reported,

paragraph $780, The House rate was
