FOR THE FINAL VOTE
Republican Senators Want Time
Set For Ballot on Tariff
1HE FIRST DEFINITE MOVE MADE.
penator Allison VIII Protract the Sessions
In order to obtain Vote-The
Debate Was Participated In
by Several Senators.

Washington, July 23.-Shortly before
he senate adjourned Senator Allison.
n charge of the tariff bill. made a
ftrong effort to have a time fixed for
he final vote on the tariff conference
feport. Failing in this, Mr.. Allison
save notice that todays session would
be protracted with view to securing
gote. 1t was the first definite move
nent made thus far toward bringing
he debate to a close. Mr.. Allisons
first proposition was for a vote at 8
o'clock this afternoon, but this was
objected to by Mr.. Pettus of Alabama.
Then he proposed a vote some time be-
Fore adjournhent. which was objected
10 by Mr. Morgan.
The suggestion Of Saturday at 1
o'clock met with like objection from
Mr.. Morgan. The Alabama senator ex-
blamed his last objection by stating
khat he thought all debate on the re-
port would be exhausted today, so
that it was needless to make an agree
ment in advance. Finding that there
was no disposition to reach an agree
ment, Mr.. Allison finally gave notice
that hereafter. while the report was
pending the senate would not adjourn
at o'clock without a yea and nay vote.
The debate on the report was par
iticlpated in by Senators Chiffon OF
Texas, Jones of Arkansas and Petit
grew of South Dakota in opposition
while Mr.. Aldrich took frequent occa-
'sion to defend the report against the
criticism of these senators.

Indian ArricnIturIsts.

The Indians on the Shoshone reserva-
ton have to the present time this sea-
son sown '125.oO0 pounds Of grain. and
it is expected they will SOW as much
more before the close of the planting
season. The department is not giving
the seed to the Indians this year as
heretofore, but is loaning it, and eX-
poets the Indians to repay It when they
harvest their crops. The pupils of the
Indian school are farming extensively
under the direction of the Indian agent,
Capt. Wilson, and the teachers of the
school. They have put out $4,000 cab
bage plants, and have a model garden.
A test viii be made on the farm with
sugar-beet seed, the department having
furnished a large quantity for expert
ment. Under the present management
of Indian affairs the Indians of the
Shoshone reservation are improving
rapidly in condition, and the majority
of the tribe will soon become self-sup-
porting. Great interest is being taken
by the Indians in school work, and the
agency school is having a very success

The Seal Question.

Washington. July 23.-The Mexican
government, through Mr.. Romero, the
Mexican minister, has advised the de-
partment Of state that his government
will render all the aid possible to the
commissioners Of the government in
their investigation to determine wheth-
er the seals on the island of Guada-
lupe are the same as those which breed
I'm the Prlbilof archipelago.
The contention of our government in
the correspondence with Great Britain
has been that they are not the same.
The British experts have pointed out
the number Of seals in the vicinity Of
Guadalupe island as proof that the seal
herds have not diminished in number,
alleging that they are the same seals
that migrate in the summer to Bering
sea. The fact to be developed is for the
use of the commission, which probably
will meet in Washington next fall, If
General Foster succeeds in his mission.

BEAN BANQUET IN MAINE.

Citizens of Haii0weIl sweep the |
Streets ana Celebrate at Night.
Hallowell. Me. has an improvement |
society which turns out once year TO
clean the town. A recent Monday was
observed by the society.
At seven o'clock the men and boys
began to collect at the city hall. They
converged from every direction. One
hundred strong they were marshaled,
armed with ralSes, hoes and heavy
brooms Mr.. Tenney was commander
in-chief.
Hallowell is laid out with four streets
parallel 10 the Kennebec and several
streets intersecting these at right
angles. The 100 men and boys were di-
vided into 16 squads. Each squad was
put under the charge Of competent
captain, and a simultaneous attack was
made at 16 points. On Third street Ed
itor Marston headed a band, on Second
street, Alden Grimes was in charge, and
so on, everywhere it was the same. Peb-
bles, leaves, sticks, paper, and other
matter, some blase and all passe, were
ral1ed into heaps, then half dozen two
horse teams picked up the heaps and
hauled them to the river bank. Now
the river bank might be a thing of
beauty and a delight to the thousands
who pass in the steamer, but it is, or
was, a collection of ash heaps and less
cleanly things The Kennebec tried to
sweep the bank the other day, but it
only got up high enough to raise the
countless pieces of paper and leave
them on the bushes.
While these matters were progressing
on the streets, appropriate exercises
were held at the high school grounds.
Alost of the boys were helping on the
streets, but enough were at the school
house to set out two trees to take the
place of q large rock maple, which must
soon be cut down. Creeping plants were
set around the fences, and brief exer-
cises were held inside the building.
These over, most of the pupils went
down to assist the improvement society
in some way. The girls went down to
the Old South church vestry to help
get the dinner ready, for there was a
grand banquet for the conquering he
roes, the knights of the rake and the
hoe. The laborer is worthy of his grub,
at least, for during the morning some
pretty dirty jobs had been tackled and
downed. Some positive nuisances were
cleaned up which soon would have re-
quired the attention of the board OF
health. As noon approached the ad-
vance guard appeared at the chapel
Fifteen or twenty of the best and hand
soonest girls in town, and that means q
good deal. made the vestry a scene OF
delight for hungry, weary soul.
Most of the laborers were boys, and
after half a days hard work the beans

The boys were silent, too, for few
minutes, and then the uproari Mr.. Ten
ney beamed all over the place. Henr,
Clearwater baled out the beans with
smile (and a spoon) that was almost a
refreshing as the food. Some fears wer
expressed that too much food had beel
collected. but these fears were soon dis

DR.. Z. II. Marshall. of Boise, Idaho,
says that in the vicinity of Boise there is
a store of subterranean hot water which
is being used to beat that city, and
with excellent results. The water was
discovered about six years ago, and
when first tapped gushed to a height of
40 feet and almost scalded to death the
workmen who were boring an artesian
well. The water was found at a depth
of about 400 feet, and has natural pres
sure enough to raise it to the top floors
of ordinary buildings, whence it will
flow down through coils of radiators,
heating the whole building. The water
is said to have a temperature of 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and a company has
been formed for piping the streets and
supplying the hot water for heating
purposes. It is claimed that a saving of
so per cent. can be effected over the
ordinary method of heating. There is u
large area Of ground near the city where
the hdt water spouts above the surface
when tapped, and a number of well
drillers are at work endeavoring to en-
large the area.-Butte Inter-Mountain.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.


BY MEMO"
The wish of men to fly has never yet
caused wings to bud, but the wish has
been father to numberless thoughts
about free movement over the face OF
the earth, and thus asses, camels, horses,
and so forth have been broken to our
use, and used until too slow for our
Fastening spirits. From them we have
passed to steam, to electricity, to COM
pressed air, and to other forms of pro-
pulsion. Even the flying machine is
rapidly nearing a commercial posi-
bility. Better than the birds who fly
yet needs must rest, our servants carry
us, so that we skim the earth throug h
proxy effort and eat or sleep or transact
business while being fitted from place
to place by tireless machinery
But do not write this in order to
minister to human pride; on the con-
trary, it is to point moral for those
whose hearts sometimes feel like burst
ing at being shut away in narrow
place. know just how you feel; eager
to do great things, sure that you could
do them if you had a chance, and yet
prevented by conditions that seem cruel
in themselves, and more cruel when YOU
see how they are hindering you. Have
patience-at least for five minutes-and
let us draw little inspiration from poor
wingless man, who being without powers
of flight and yet DESTROYS of such powers
learning that longing for the boon does
not grant him his wish, sets his brain tC
work. Its results we know. Like the
traveller who scales a cliff by turning
this way and that, the absence of wings
is limitation that has been set aside.
Apply this method to yourself, pining
and eager one. Mere longing for differ
ent circumstances will never brinl
them. Opportunities are not forced by
pulling wish-bones, nor do chances come
bv childing fate. Since you cannot b'
in two places at once, your place for tn
present is precisely the place you are in
and il viewed Alright you will be 10th t.
change it until you have done your al
with it. The most solemn spot in tn
world for you, is the spot you stand on
Cor it is your testing place-not som
one elsc's, but yo,''s--i: is vou- opoor

SUNDAYS Nashville American
contained sad story of misplaced
confidence. The scene was laid in
the lovely little Southern city OF
Florence, Ala. 1t told of how the
innocents had been tempted by the
cheap telephone bait of the Bell
Company; how, in their penny wise
and pound foolish conceit they had
allowed their Citizens Company to
be strangled to death by the merci-
less coil of this powerful anaconda,
and how, just as soon as competition
was out of their way the Bell mo-
nopoly dotted its sleeps clothing
and appeared in the full regalia of
the old time eXtortioner. Prices in
night jumped up from nothing to
$50 per year for residences and $40
per year for business houses. Will
our people, or will they not, profit
by this lesson? Will they learn
from the experience of Florence, or
must they wait for bitter experience
to themselves? Will they give aid
and comfort to the enemy of low
rates, or will they sustain a home
enterprise that will give them low
rates indefinitely. In order to save
So next year, are they willing to pay
$50 the year following? What en-
enlargement have individuals or
political parties tosfight mOnopolies
and foreign corporations, if the peo-
pie themselves can be gulled by a
80 cent bait to an abandonment of
the field while the battle is being
fought? Isn't it strange-isn't it
passing strange, when you come
seriously to think of it, that a foreign
company, with such record for ex-
tortion and oppression behind them,
can come into a community and by
so cheap a bait win some people
away from their own home enter
prise? And yet there is consolation
in the thought that "the old guard, )"
those who first took up the fight for
the citizens cause, still stand firm
and unbroken.

Now that the country has been

they have. 1t is real interesting to
hear them talk, though at times con-
fusing, and to the animated 1t is

there are several times more candi'

The Peoples Board are running
the public affairs in a high-handed
manner. That they choose to fill
all vacancies with their friends, is
right and proper enough, and we
have no quarrel with them on that
score. But in their attempted i'm
parchment of City Attorney SmIser
they have transcribed all bounds of
reason, right or Justice. Mr.. Smiser
was elected year ago for a two
years term, and by his election the
corporation, through its duly author
lied agents, entered into contract
with him which this Board has no
legal or moral right to annul. He
has made an efficient and faithful
officer; too efficient and faithful to
please the law breakers, but in such
manner as to win encomiums from
those who appreciate the intelligent,
impartial, faithful performance of
public duties. Common law is
based on common sense, and we do
not believe that any court will sus-
tain the miserable makeshift of a
law intended to unseat him. Such
spite, vindictiveness and malice as
is evidenced by this action of the
Board, is utterly unworthy public
officials, and Mr.. Smiser is entirely
right in his determination to appeal
his claims to the courts.

JUST as we expected, the state APP
preparation to the Centennial pro-
ject, is being used as a precedent.
1t is rather a far-fetched use that is
being made of it, at present; but
that is the danger of bad presidents,
they are always used to their furth-
est extent. The present use of this
bad precedent is, that because the
taxpayers of the state at large were
made to help pay for the Nashville
show, that now they ought to be
taxed some more to help the Mem
phis annexation scheme. Well, the
answer to this is, that two wrongs
don't make right, and now is the
best time the Governor will ever
have to stop the growth of this most
dangerous and extravaganza prece-
dent.
