Washington. February 4.-This was pri-
vate bill day in the House, but by sys-
tematic flibustering the private calendar
containing the bills reported by the COM
mittees on claims was not reached, the
whole day being consumed in passing 18
of the "a private bills favorably acted up
on by the House at the session last Fri
day night. During the consideration of
one of the bills an interesting discussion
OF the ap reaching sale of the Kansas
Pacicfi road set for February II, was
precipitated by Mr., Fleming, Democrat
of Georgia, who, with his colleague, de-
sired legislation to require the President
to bid the full amount of the debt, prin-
cipal and interest.
Mr.. Powers, chairman Of the Pacific
railroad committee, contended that the
real purpose of the opposition was to
compel the government to take the road
and operate it. He said he thought the
administration which had secured every
dollar owing from the Union Pacific
could be safely trusted to protect the gov
ernment interests at the sale OF the Kan
sas Pacific.
Mr.. Hooker, Republican of New York,
arose to question of personal privilege

himself frou some charges in connection

accorded him this afternoon by the Senate
committee on post office and post roads.

MIR. Simpkins of Massachusetts, called
the attention of the House to ''the
vexatious delays and excessive penalties
imposed on American fishing vessels by
Canadian authorities He cited the
case of the schooner Carrie e. Philips.
which last December was put to a loss
of over $1,000 and fined $500 for mere
technical violation of Canadian law. He
oontrasted this treatment with the liberal
course of the United States in imposing
only nominal and exemplary penalties on
British vessels for similar offenses and
expressed the hope that the government
would both obtain redress for this par
ticular act of injustice and protest against
the general practice of Canada in harass-
ing American fishing vessels.

Hospitality That Paid.

Gambling clubs arc being 1raiidieeaa
in London, one of tho complaints
being that they greatly overoharge
their patrons for the use of cards.
1t is curious that a century ago this
was the CASE III private houses. It is
generally supposed that hospitality
was o largely extended in old
times, and, indeed, was their II
preme virtue, whereas it would now
DO thought tho extremity of mean
ness for a host to charge his guests
with any such payment. In The
Times Of March 22, 1896, we read:
Tho tabbies of Bath are in 4 state
Of insurrection, in consequence Of
an example by Lady Elcho, who
neither visits nor receives company
that pay for cards. This laudable
reformation is adopted SO generally
that many of the dowagers who
have so long fed on card money are
turning their thoughts to some more
crediiaDle means Of earning their
livelihood" A hope is expressed
that the ladies in London will follow
the examples Of those of Bath and
Exclude the cdious and pitiful Gus
tom. We are afraid that many a
party is formed rather to derive
benefit from the. sale Of cards than
for the sake OF hospitality. Sen
