BY A DECISIVE VOTE.
Mr.. TELLER'S RESOLUTION.
PASSED, At TO 80.
Efforts to Amend 1t Failed Senator
Lodges Gold Standard Substitute De-
fsated by Vote of Ayes "a, Nays 90
Analysis of the Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-After de-
bate, animated at all times, and occa-
sionally acrimonious, which occupied
the greater part of the week, the
Senate last evening, by decisive vote
OF AZ to s9, adopted the Teller concur
rent resolution. The resolution is a
practical reaffirmation of that OF Stan
ley Matthews, in 1878, and is as fol-
lows:
THAT all the bonds Of the United
States issued, or authorized to be is
sued, under the said acts of Con-
gress hereinbefore recited, are pay
able, principal and interest, at the
option of the government of the
United States in silver dollars of
the coinage of the United States, con-
tanning 4l215 grains each of standard
silver, and that to restore to its coin
age such silver coins as legal tender
in the payment of said bonds, princi-
pal and interest, is not in violation of
the public faith nor in derogation of
the rights of the public creditor"
All efforts to amend the resolution
were voted down by maiorities rang
ing from five to twenty-nine, Mr..
Lodges gold standard substitute be-
ing defeated by the latter majority
The vote on the Lodge amendment
was: Ayes, "a; nays, SO.
The silver or bimetallic strength
was made up of thirty-one regular
Democrats, including the entire party
representation, with the exception of.
three, six Populists, six silver Repub-
licans who left the party to vote for
Bryan, and eight Republicans who
voted for Mckinley and have always
been classed with the administration.
These latter are Perkins of California,
Shoup of Idaho, Wolcott of Colorado,
Carter of Montana, Clark and Warren
of Wyoming, Pritchard of North Car
DINA and Chandler of New Hamp-
shire. The first six are Western men
who have always been for free coin
age, but who remained with the party
during the campaign last year on tar
if and international bimetallic
grounds.
The negative votes were made up
of the thirty-fve Republicans remain
ing plus three Democrats, Gray of
Delaware, Gallery of Louisiana and
Lindsay of Kentucky. They represent
all there is left of the genuine gold
Democratic strength in the Senate be-
cause German of Maryland, Smith of
New Jersey, Murphy of New York,
Faulkner of West Virginia and Mitch
ell of Wisconsin, though believers in
the gold standard have submitted to
the Chicago platform.

FADS IN FLOWERS.

Florists shops abroad are much diff
ferent from the ones in this
country. In London, for ex-
ample, funeral freaths and en-
blems are displayed in the windows
with their prices attached. Some are
attractive, others very hideous. Lichen
Is fashionable there for crosses and
wreaths, and from this grisly-gray
background Gala lilies and white roses
peer.
Set pieces, the "gates ajar," broken
columns and floral pillows, are always
painful, for, in the first place, the nat
ural grace and beauty Of the flowers IS
destroyed, and in the next there is no
excuse for the emblems. Flowers for
the dead should be scattered in care
less handfuls-then only are they COM
forters, with their graceful beauty I'M
impaired. The modern custom Of add
ing to a death notice the words,
FRIENDS will please omit flowers, may
be traced to the reluctance Of the sur
yiyors to be confronted with those
CHASTITY set pieces which have ragged SO
long.
The best artists have always recog-
nized that flowers should be allowed to
arrange themselves. Basketfuls, arm
fuls or great punches Of loose flowers
are justihable, but crushing their beau
ty into any systematlzed outline is un-
forgivable. Florists abroad have q
frightful habit of making up" bouton-
niers for mems coats,and these punches
Of three or four violets a spray Of fern
and a branch of forget-me-nots are
seen on the lapels OF the men who do
not appreciate true fitness. A single
gardenia tuberose or a knot OF mig
nonette is better than one Of these hor-
rible mixtures.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALAsKA7
Some Requirements That VIII Be Found
Indispensable.

pOho requirements That Will DC o1nu
Indispensable.
The universal article Of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one Of the cheap brands
OF baking powder, 1t will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens 1t for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find solid caked mass
or lot Of spoiled POWDER with NO
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska Is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all 1t Is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost great part Of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr. McQuesten, who is called
1.-THE father of Alaska" after an expert
ence Of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind Of
supply, says: 1--WE find in Alaska that
the Importance of proper kind Of
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with can OF bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either or
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient Of leavening agents. Hence it Is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
It can be had of any Of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt Of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
Of the other brands Of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and
trouble.

1t altogether and as it looked so good
wanted to buy it all to take along with
us. 1 asked our interpreter to buy 1t.
