Absence Of a Quorum Gives Mr..

Sarcasm. -

WASHINGTON, June 26. The resolu-
ton of Mr.. Hale (Me.) relative to re-
stricting the privileges of ex-senators on
the floor of the senate to those not in
terested in legislation and claims, was
referred without comment to the COM
mittee on rules.
Consideration of the wool schedule of
the tariff bill was resumed at paragraph
307 relating to aubossOn, administer,
moquette and chenille carpets.
Mr.. Vest (Mo.) moved to strike out
the specific rate. The vote was II to "a,
four short of quorum. There was
some delay in announcing the result,
owing to the anxiety to secure quorum,
but Mr.. Vest insisted on a speedy an
nouncement, remarking that the suffer
ing country could not wait while Re-
publican senators mustered quorum.
When the want of a quorum was an
nOunced, Mr.. Vest derisively said:
"And this, with the country just wal
lowing and dying while the bill waits. "
"The senator is out of ORDER" inter-
posed Mr.. Chandler jocularly.
"And so is the country" added Mr..
Gray (DelD

amendment was then rejected-2l to 26.
The consideration Of the wool sched-

Vest offered number Of amendments
but was defeated in each instance, the
schedule being adopted as suggested by
the finance committee. The silk sched.
ule was at once taken up.

The silk schedule precipitated quite 9
lively debate, the Western and coast
senators contending that COMMITTEES

SIEGE OF HAIL STONES.

Topeka, Kan, Experiences the Worst
Storm of the Kind in Its History.
Topeka. Kan, June 26.-The worst
hail storm known in the history of
Kansas struck this city shortly after 6
p. M. Hail stones weighing II to >16
ounces stripped the trees Of their foliage.
smashed window panes on every hand,
including the finest plate glass store
fronts, cut down telegraph and tele-
phone wires, riddled awnings and in
flicted unprecedented damage through
out the city. Dogs were struck i'll the
streets and instantly killed. Horses
were knocked to their knees to rise
again and dash away in mad fright.
Many runaways occurred throughout
the city. When the fury Of the storm
had passed dead birds were found every
where.
Heavy Wind and Terrific Lightning
accompanied the storm. Topeka looks
like city.that has withstood a siege OF
war guns. There are not a dozen build
ings in the town that are not almost
windowless and many roofs We're caved
in. The roofs of street cars also were
pierced. The damage wrought can bet
ter be imagined when it is known that
the hail stones ranged in size from that
| of a hens egg to an ostrich egg and
that 30 minutes after the storm one hail
stone was picked up which measured IA
inches in circumference. Surgeons are
busy dressing the wounds Of persons
| injured in the storm, several OF whom
may die. Many We're hurt in runaways
| on the streets.

English Opinion of Japan's Attitude

LONDON, June 26.-The Daily Graphic
says editorially: Japan is likely to de-

annexation is not very popular in Amer
ica, but any attempt at dictation will
only be resented and will strengthen
the case for the annexationists.'

Governor Atkinson Thinks the Ne
gro Is Growing Worse Every Year.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 16.-Gov. Atkinson
has been studying the subject of criminal
ogy lately, and has come to the conclusion
that the negroes are growing more and
more criminal every year. While the
laws of the state have been modified and
relaxed so as to be more and more lenient
to the ignorant colored people, that race
he thinks, has been steadily deteriorating
in morals since emancipation.
The governor will refer to this state of
affairs in his next message to the legis-
lature, and he has had some interesting
figures complied from the records of the
penitentlary department to demonstrate
his IDEAS These figures show a steady
increase in the number OF cOnvicts, the
number going far ahead of the proper
tomato increase in population, and it is
from this, as well as the increasing fire.
