Italy Makes Demands on IIayti.

Washington, Dec. IA The members of
the Haytian legation expect that their

brought to her attention by Italy. 1t is

claims, ths Haytlan government will
ask this government to use it's good Offices

day, on motion of Representative Law
renee, of Massachusetts,, Saturday, Jan.

priation bill. Representative Bingham,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, who is in

NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE national
bankruptcy bill, which is similar to the
Henderson Culberson bill passed by the
house at the last session, will be reported

committee. The bill provides for both
voluntary bankruptcy and involuntary
bankruptcy, except in case of corpora
tione. The latter may be forced into
bankruptcy, but not otherwise. Wage
earners, laborers and farmers cannot be
forced into bankruptcy. In general the
principles of involuntary causes relate to
fraudulent conduct in part. The clause
in the past measures providing that a
man who permits his commercial paper
to go unpaid for 30 days shall be con-
Aidered an involuntary bankrupt is
eliminated. The general effect of the bill
IS to discharge bankrupt of all debts
after his estate has been administered,
and it has been found that there has been
no fraudulent conduct. The bankrupt
measure Ia 80 framed as to make it's ad-
ministration simple and inexpensive. Tt
involves only two officers, a referee and a
trustee.

SPANIARDs AS INVENTORS.

War Bulletins tho Highest Type. Appaf-
entiy. of What They Have Produced
The Spanish government is one Of the
oldest organized in the world. The
Spanish nation L. one Of the oldest main
tanning intact its official identity in
Europe. in many Of the arts and SCI
ences, as well as in war, commerce, nav
igation and geographical research, Span
iards have taken high rank, but for
some reason Spaniards have been Of
very little note as inventors The high
est type Of modern Spanish invention
would appear to be In the war bulletin.
There arc few useful or ingenious in
ventions which are attributed to men
of Spanish birth or ancestry. Cannon
were used by the Spaniards nearly GOO
years ago, and before their use by
either the English or the French, but
these cannon were brought into Spain
by the Moors. The invention Of the
microscope is ascribed to German,
Of gunpowder to n Hindoo, of printing
to a German, of the rife to native of
Vimpa, of photography to a French
man, of tho paddock to a German. the
pendulum to an Italian, the mariners
compass to Chinaman, the guitar to
an Egyptian, hats to a Swiss resident
of the city OF Paris, the kaleidoscope
to an Italian, dice to an ancient Greet,
the drum to an Arabian, the galvanic
battery TO an Italian, the balloon to q
TEepchman, the barometer to an Ital-
ian, bombs TO a Hollander, bayonets to
q Frenchman, the accordion (as an in
stFument of music) to a German resi-
dent OF Vienna, fresco painting to an
italian, the clarinet to a German resi-
dent of Leapsic, stereotyping to a
Frcnchman, the telescope to a Holland
er. the thermometer TO Calico. an Ital-
ian, the velocipede (the forerunner OF
the bicycle) to Q German, and the print
ing press TO a Dutchman. But it does
not appear that in any Of these inven-
tons (oither in originating or perfect
ing them) any Spaniard took a prom
inent part Or, indeed, any part what
ever.
In modern inventions, as the records
of the patent Office establish. Americans
stand not only at the head, but so far
ahead Of the people Of other countries
as to render unnecessary any conpari-
son. In all mechanical con.rivances, and
especially those used in manufactures
or in improved and progressive agricul-
tural operations. Americans stand first,
and at the foot of the list, among civil
lied nations, are the Spaniards In
the Sixteenth century, Seville alone had
10000 silk looms; there are now only
1000 in all Spain. Spain is the only

ing industry has gone backward during
the last half centurv.-N. Y. Sun.

One Fancies Stuffed Birds and the Othe,
Steals . Watch.
Jim" is a very intelligent cat, the
pride of all the clerks in well-known
business house On Market street Jim
has become thoroughly familiar with
men and things" but the other day
an incident occurred which shows that
even the most intelligent cats can some
times be mistaken. It happened that
a young lady entered the store in ques-
ton, wishing to pay a bal. She was
told to take seat on a large settee
while the Office boy obtained the re-
ceipt. Now. the back of this settles
rests against railing which incloses
the Office. This railing is very much
like a back yard fente, and for that
reason is p favorite place for Jim. He
was IN this place when tho lady took
the seat, and he cast admlring g'anees
ut her. She was neatly attired in black
and had large stuffed bird in her hat.
Everything went well until Jim spiel
this bird, and with a jump he was on
Ter hat, much to the alarm and fright
of the lady. who instantly jumped to
her feet, screaming loudly. Jim was
quickly removed, but could not te
driven away while the lady remained in
the, store.
Here is another cat story: James
Bell, of 1928 South Twenty-third street,
owns a pretty maltese cat, whose only
fault is kleptomania. Madge is the
cats name, and she steals anything
that comes her way. While Mr.. Bell
was eating his supper few evenings
ago he was staftled hS a funny noise
on the stairs. Running in the direc-
ton of the racket. he. beheh the thiev-
ing cat coming downstairs with his gold
chain in her mouth, while the watch
was humping against each step, much
to the delight of the cat. Quickly sei4-
ing his timepIece. Mr.. Bell made O lunge
for the cat. but Madge escaped. Lately
the family has been at a loss TO know
what Madge had done with her kittens.
Their whereabouts were discovered by
Mr.. Bell. who found tho tiny creatures
coxHy nestled in his new silk hat,-Phil-
