Senator Sherman VIII Try To Force q

morrow---Allabach Pension
Veto Sustained.

Washington, Feb. 17.-In the senate
to-day the unfinished business is still
the bankruptcy bill, which has now
occupied the attention of that body for
several days. Senator Chandler's
speech yesterday on his resolution de-
claring it to be the sense of the senate
that the United States should not per-
manently acquiesce in the single gold
standard is pronounced by fellow mem
bers to be one of the best the gentle
man from New Hampshire has ever de-
Ivered. He succeeded in gaining and
keeping the attention of the senate
from the beginning to the end of a
three hours speech. 1t was particularly
pleasing to the silver senators. He at
tributes the fall of values in this and
other countries for the last twenty
years to the progressive steps in the
demonetization of silver, and estimates
the depreciation of property in the
United States since the census of 1890,
when it was given at fifteen thousand
millions of dollars, at SO per cent. He
asked whether such continuous shrink
age of property and increasing burden
of debt could be endured without wide
spread bankruptcy. If it had not been
for the fortunate balance of trade in
favor of the United States in 1896 there
would have been, he asserted, cata-
clysm in this country which would
have Frustrated all interests. ssTo the
System of bimetallism from which we
Edeparted," he said, 1--WE must return.
Eand trust that we are already
ION the road" He quoted Senator
ESherman's speech on silver in 1876 in
which it was said that nothing but the
act of God would prevent the use of
both gold and silver among the nations
sof mankind; and he facetiously an
tticipated the aid which Mr.. Sherman
would give to the cause of bimetallism
as the leader of the new administra-
ton. He declared his belief that the!new
administration would by wise designs
and virtuous deeds, prolong indefnite-
" the ascendancy of the republican
party, but said that If it content itself
with seizing and enjoying the spoils of
Office, treating bimetallism as ''jug-
Cling humbug," the tide Of political
battle would once more be turned
against the republicans and they would
soon exchange places with their now
sore, bleeding and prostrate foe. This
afternoon at o'clock the senate will
take the vote on the immigration bill
conference report. Owing to this fact,
Senator Sherman changed his notice of
an executive session for the considera-
tion Of the arbitration treaty from
to-day until tomorrow, at which time,
he said, he would ask the senate to re-
main IN session until the vote was taken.

TROUT AND PIckEREL.

Something About Their Methods OF Feed
ing, rs Observed ut the Aquarium.
1t is easy to observe mt the aquarium
the habits of fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce and some are
sly. The trout arc fed on live killies.
The killies when thrown into the tank
scatter in NIL directions, with the trout
after them like chain Lightning, twist.
ing and turning with marvellous coleri-
ty. The killies double, the trout dart
after them. Rising to bunch of kill
lies, at tho top, the trout fairly make
the water fly. They jump almost. if not
quite, clear out Of it, as if they were
turning somersaults, and down they go
in again and on after tho killies. 1t is
q dashing, slashing, crashing pursuit,
and in about half minute tho killies
arc all gone.
Tho pickerel-how different! How
silent, and yet how suddenl The killie
dropped in above darts downward
through the water. Not pursued, it
slow down aud halts in the middle of
the tank to rest and to recover its equa-
nimity after its recent disturbing expe-
rience Of being removed from its home
in the live food tank, carried about in
galvanized iron tray, and finally
dropped into another tank as food for
other fishes.
AT littlo distance is observed the
pickerel. 1t has come up silently. like n
long, slender, little steamer moving
dead slow. 1t comes to n haltso smooth
ly and quietly that the instant of it's
halt is not noticed. 1t is simply seen to
be lying there, motionless, about six
inches from the lliliie.
All is peace and quiet III the tank,
and the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no APP
parent exertion of power, tho pckerel
darts forward. The movement is so sud
den that it is not realized that the pick
erel has moved until it is seen i'll its
new position. Tho killie is gone. 1t is
now i'll the pickerel's interior, and prob
ably with only very huzy notion, if
any at all, of how it got there.
The methods of the trout and picker
ell are very different; their results, how
ever, arc much the same.-New York
Sun.

Humility.

It is not every great man who carries
his honors as meekly as the mayor of
Inverness, who rebuked an admiring
crowd Ill the words, "Frens, I'm just IL
mortal man like yersels.'' Sir Wilfrid
Lawson tells the following story: "a
woman was once pursuing her fugitive
COW down lane, when she called out to
some ono III front. Man, turn my cow
The man took no notice and allowed
tho COW to pass. When she came up,
sho said. Man, why did you not turn
my cow?' He replied, Woman, I am
not {" man; I am magistrate. -

One Woman's Trials.

A resident of Staten Island has lately
been very much annoyed by some of the
urchins of the neighborhood She is a
great lover OF nature and has OH her
front piazza II number of potted plants
which have been cared for all winter.
AT night. when everything is quiet, the
boys como and manage to steal one or
two plants without discovery One by
one her choice flowers have disappeared,
and although she has watched for the
thieves they have never been caught
The other day she conceived a plan
by which she saved her remaining
treasures. Tying string to each flow
erpot, sho connected the ends with q
bell i'll the hall. That night she waited
patiently for the alarm. AT last there
was u tinkle and then crash. Rushing
out, sho saw boy, apparently fright
ened out of his senses, running down
tho path. When he found the pot tied
and heard the bell ring, he dropped his
booty and took to his heels. Tho boy es-
capped, but there has been no more trou-
bic with flower thieves.
This woman is very fond of pets of
all kinds and has number about the

it would make novel sort of net. Pay

home. The bird arrived before its mis-
tress and was received by the cook, who
chopped off its head and prepared it for
dinner.--New York Times.
