In 1855 Mr. Francis went to Europe.

frankness and his habitual courtesy.
And he received great honors ut the

tsrssting, and he was 20 wholly frank
and natural in their narration He was
long at the court Of the osar, sovereign
who was deeply interested In the work
OF the inventor. When Mr.. Francis
went to Europa he had letters OF intro
duction from many prominent Amera-
cans In St. Petersburg he called upon
the American ministss. Hsrs. ~ he told
me laughingly. he forgot all about his
letters Of introduction. one q which
was from the president Of the United
States and another from the secretary Of
state, and merely told some Of the OH
Gals connected with the American lega-
ton that he wished to meet the esar.
WHAT" the official calculated IN
amazement. Meet the cxari Impoasi-
BILE, man! Do you realize what you are
asking-an introduction 70 the csAr OF
Russia? Why, 1t would take you month
to get an introduction TO the grand duke

presence Of the czar.
Mr.. Francis went away, and, with
true American independence, called al

And this was his introduction :

out OF the amendment. This would
have had the effect, n he had insisted on
his objection. Of sending the bill back to
the committee. where the amendment
would have been clipped out and the
bill again reported and passed. Senator
Cannon is confident that the amend
ment will be rclnscrted In the Sc ate.
Senator Pettigrew, chairman of the
committee which will have the bill In
charge, announces that he will place the
amendment In again. Whether It will
re, through the House again or not l.
the question. The opposition manifest.
ed yesterday Indicates that Speaker
Reed Il opposed to the opening. on the
ground that the government would lose
an opportunity OF making money by

be the most powerful argument against
the opening. that It's opponents can
bring to bear to defeat the object OF the
amendment.
