IS SENT TO CONFERENCE,
The House Decides to NOn-COncur
in the War Revenue Bill.

Washington, June 6.-The center of
legislative interest was in the house to-
day, owing to the return of the revenue
bill from the senate for house action. 1t
was generally understood ma iority of
the members proposed to adopt rule
providing for the adoption of the resolu-
ton of general non concurrence in the
senate amendments and agreeing to the
conference asked by the senate OH Satur-
day.
The democrats desiring to vote sepa-
rately upon the senate amendments, not
ably the seigniorage provision. came pre-
pared to accept defeat at the hands of the
majority, but determined to enter their
protest and put on record their position.
An unusually large attendance was in evil
dence.
Representative Hartman of Montana
introduced joint resolution directing the
secretary of the navy to have prepared
and delivered suitable medals of honor to
Lieutenant Holson and each member of
his crew for gallant, heroic and patriotic
services rendered the United States at
Santiago harbor on June 3, 1898. 1t APP,
propriates $500 for the purpose.
The house, on rising vote, decided to
non-concur and send the war revenue bill
to conference. The house conferees APP
pointed are Dingley, Payne ana Bailey.
COnferees Meet.
Washington, June 6-The conferees on
the war revenue bill met in the room OF

fidence that the conference will be con
Guided before the end of the week.

FLYING THE ENEMY'S FLAG
when This Deceit, Permissible In
War, Must lie Abandoned.

The honorable Dons are highly indig-
nant over the alleged flying of the Span
ish flag by some of the American war
ships in Cuban waters, says the Indian
apolis Journal. There is no occasion for
exploiting Spanish honor or morality. The
use of the enemy's flag is permissible in
war within certain limitations. According
to one writer, quoted in a Washington
dispatch: "The regulations of the United
States navy state that the use Of for
eign flag to deceive an enemy is permissi-
Bile, but that it must be hauled down be-
fore gun is fired, and under no circum-
stances is an action to be commenced or
an engagement fought without the dis
play OF the national ensign"
Another authority says: at is forbid,
den in war on land to make use of the
enemys flag for purpose of deceit. On
the sea the national flag OF public armed
vessel must be displayed before an en-.
gagement begins or II capture is made
This implies that the enemy's flag may be
used for purposes of deceit up to the time
of firing, when the ships own colors must
be displayed. The use of the enemy's fas
to mislead is no worse than the dissemina
ton OF false dispatches, which the Span
iards have practiced very freely.

RAT WITH A WOODEN LEG.
How = Philadelphia hoy Fitted Out
HIS Captive.

A rat with wooden leg is a curiosity.
as curiosities go nowadays Yet such an
animal can be seen any day at the resi-
dnece of a man named Dugmore, in the
southwestern section of the city, says the
Philadelphia Times. About a month ago
Willie Dugmore, lad of II years, found
the little rodent in a trap in the cellar.
His first impulse was to brain the pest
with baseball bat. but the rat looked at
him so pleadingly that Willie's heart was
touched, and he decided to take the trap
to an adjoining vacant lot and liberate
the animal. This he did, but instead of
scampering off, as he expected, the rat
limped painfully up to him and began to
lick his hand. Willie then discovered that
one of the animals legs had been almost
severed by the trap.
Taking the rat home, he cut the leg off
and then bandaged the wound, using as
a liniment little vaseline. He then put
the rat into a cage and nursed it for q
week. He then removed the bandage and
found that the wound had completely
healed. The rate was, however, unable to
walk, and Willie decided he would make
for it an artificial leg. Going down to the
cellar, he obtained piece of pine, and
after some whiting succeeded in making
leg. This he fastened on with string
and was delighted to see that his plan
was entirely successful. The rat is now the
family pet and can be seen any day hob
bling about the kitchen or teasing little
Irish terrier, of which it has made life
long friend
