The republican members of the sem
ate finance committee. who have been
reviewing and amending the Dingley
bill, are now ready to report. They
have made a proposition to the demo-
cratic members with view to obtain
ing their consent to report the bill to
the senate without further modifca-
tons, then to allow such changes as the
senate may conclude to adopt during
the discussion of the measure. The
democratic members of the committee
feel disposed to insist upon some
changes, notably in the wool schedule
and raw hides. It is presumed, how
ever, that an arrangement will be made
whereby the bill will be reported to the
senate early next week, when discus
sion will commence upon the bill, as it
is acted upon line by line.

Russia Can Place a Mighty Military
Force I'm the Field.
The army of the car is composed of
81 corps d'arme divided up into IA con-
scriptions. The strength of each corps
is about $4,000 men. The infantry COM
prises about 165 regiments of the line,
20 regiments of chasseurs, 16 regiments
of grenadiers and ~ regiments of the
guard. This is very fine army, well
organized, of great resisting power and
prodigious tenacity, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t is armed with a repeat
ing rifle very much like the French Lee
bel, and which is highly esteemed by the
Russian generals. The artillery is COM
posed of &c siege batteries, 1914 field
batteries, Is mountain batteries, 43 bat
teries, cheval and three mortar regi-
ments-altogether nearly 5000 light
pieces and 1 500 siege guns.
Besides this there are brigades of
engineers, military train, railroad cleo
tricians, torpedoists, velocipedists, po-
lice, etc. AS to the imperial cavalry it is
well known to be one of the finest and
by far the most considerable in Europe.
1t is composed of regulars and regi-
ments like Cossacks, for example, who
enjoy certain degree of independence
and some privileges and who yet submit
to the usual discipline. This cavalry is
divided into GIL squadrons, of which $50
are regular cavalry, cuirassiers,
dragons, uhlans and hussars and 319
Cossacks.

ALUMINIUM CLOCK HANDS.
Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use on Dig Clocks.

Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an ideal ma
terial. The pointers Of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says
and exchange. For these were substi-
tuted pointers made of thin sheets of
copper, a pointer being composed of
two strips, which were cupped or hol-
lowed, and then brought together edge
to edge, with the rounded sides out,
thus giving rigidity as well as lightness.
Aluminium pointers for big clocks are
made in this way, but they are far
lighter and easier to balance.
1t is not unusual, on large clocks in
windows and elsewhere, to see pro-
jecting from the baseof the long pointer
and in line with the rod with it a ball at
the end, this rod being perhaps third
as long as the big pointer. This rod
and ball are counterweight for the
big pointer, which, without counter
weight, would, in its movement around
the dial. beaE unevenly upon the arbor
or shaft which carries it. On great
clocks, and often on big clocks indoors,
this eounterpoise is placed inside the
dial, out of sight, on the arbor.
The heavier the pointer the greater
the weight required in the counter
poise; the greater the weight the more
friction on the arbor; and the more
friction the greater power required to
drive the clock. BY the use of alumni
ium pointers these drawbacks are re-
duced to a minimum.

REMEMBERED HER CHILDREN.

ElOped Fifty Years Ago, But wiIIed
Property to Her Offspring.
During the gold excitement of 40 a
young Irishman named Thomas Hogan
settled in Calaveras county, Cal, with
his wife. He became a miner and
amassed considerable property before
he died. His widow afterward married
John C. Scribner, of San Andreas. He
died a few years ago, says the New
York World, and left his property to
his widow. The twice-widowed woman
thus came into the possession of about
$4,000. She died a few months ago
and left the bulk of her property to
her 'nieces and nephews" in Ireland.
naming two men and two women.
The lawyer appointed to administer
on the estate wrote to the addresses
given, and learned that two of the four
were dead, and the remaining two had
no knowledge of an aunt in California
or any other place. An investigation
developed the fact that the supposed
Mrs. Hogan was really Mrs. Richard
Barnes, and that she had left her hus-
band and four children to elope with
the young Irishman. She had kept the
skeleton in her closet hidden for nearly
so years, and even in death she tried to
protect the secret by referring to her
children as her nieces and nephews.

KINSMEN IN THE SENATE.
White, of California, and Mallory, OF
Florida, First Cousins.

If one man of a family gets to be sem
ator he ought to be accounted fortunate.
When two men of a family find seats
in the senate together it is a remarkable
event, and deserves recording, says the
Washington Post.
Stephen Mallory White is a senator
from California and Stephen Russell
Mallory is a senator from Florida.
There is more than a mere coincidence
in the similarity of the names. The
men are cousins. Senator Mallory's
father and Senator Whites mother
were brother and sister. 1t is a little
curious that the two senator's should
represent states ais far apart as it is pos
sible for them to be-one on the Allan
tic and the other on the Pacific coast.
The grandfather of the two senators
was one of the earliest settlers of Flor
ida, while their grandmother was q
Spanish woman of fine stock, consider
able beauty and remarkable constitu,
ton, retaining TO her old age all of her
faculties. Much of Senator Whites
sturdiness comes from his grand
mother. He was not born in Florida,
for his father and mother crossed the
plains in 1850, attracted to California
by the reports of newly-discovered gold,
The senator was born in San Francisco
in 1853. The MaIlorys, on the other
hand, remained in Florida, and now the
whirligig of time and the strange hap
penings of politics reunite the families
in the senate.
