WHICH SHE LIKED BEST,

There are many stories told of the
kindness of Queen Margherita of Italy,
but this one is the latest. Some time
ago the queen asked one of her little
protegees to knit her pair of mittens
for her birthday, providing her with
money for the material. On the queen S
birthday she received a most beautiful
pair of mittens from the little girl, and
in return sent another pair to the child,
one of which was filled with money and
the other with sweets, together with a
message asking her to say which she
liked best of the two mittens. A little
time afterward the queen received this
letter: Dearest queen, your lovely
presents have made me shed many
tears. Papa took the mitten with the
money; my brother had the bon-bons."

WHERE OLD CLOTHING GOES.

WHERE OLD CLOTHING GOES.
The greater part of the left-off cloth
ing of the whole world goes to Dews-
bury. in Yorkshire. Carts laden with
bales of old clothes from all parts of the
United Kingdom, from all parts of Eu-
rope, America and Canada, from many
parts of Asia and from New Zealand
and Australia, fill the streets of that
town daily. All kinds of clothing-old
woolen underclothing, stockings, carpets
and curtains; in fact, every variety of
worn-out articles which has the least
amount of wool in it's composition, no
matter how ugly it's color or now un-
pleasant its SMELLS sent there and
made by a variety of processes into
shoddy. When place so small as Cata-
MIA, in Sicily, alone exports 10 tons of
ragged, left-off clothing every year. the
amount from all the great world-centres
may be in some measure estimated,
Shoddy-making is one of the most Curl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-General Galixto
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban warrior
and leader, and the head of commission
elected by the Cuban assembly to visit
this country. died here today at the
Hotel Raleigh, where the commission
has its headquarters. The sudden
change from the warm climate of Cuba,
with the hardships he had there en-
dured, to the wintry weather of New
York and Washington, is responsible for
pneumonia which resulted in his de-
mise. He contracted slight cold in New
York which did not assume an alarming
stage until the early part of last week.
On Tuesday night he, in company with
the other members of the commission
attended dinner given in his honor by
General Miles and it was result of the

liable advices received from Iloilo, capital

the night of December and captured
all the Spanish trenches except one. They
then notified Gen. Rios to remove the
women and children and threatened tore

these advices left Iloilo Gen. Rios was ex-
pecting endorsements and field guns
and the plan was for the Spanish boats to

been ordered outside the barboi in order
to allow the gunboats to operate. Mean
while the Spanish authorities have been
advised that the Tulisanos troops are loot
ing in disobsdience to orders and cannot
be restrained.
On the other hand the Spanish trans

Washington. December u.-Beyond the
first three days there is no program
mapped out for the House this week. To-
morrow will be devoted, under the rules
to the business relating to the District of
Columbia and on Tuesday the District of
Columbia appropriation bill will be taken
IN. This is in pursuance of the determi-
nation of the leaders to give the appropri-
alton bills the right OF way when one Is
ready. There is nothing In the district
bill this year to attract opposition and
unless the unexpected happens the bill
ought tn pass Tuesday or Wednesday at
the latest. The appropriation sub com-
uitee on pensions will commence woik
ON the pension appropriation bill tomor-
row, but it can hardly he ready before
next week 1t is confidently expected
however, that it will be passed before the
holidays. 1t is possible that Chairman
Hull of the military affairs committee
will be able to bring in the army reor-
ganization bill as soon as the district ap-
preparation bill is out of the way. He is
exceedingly anxious to get the bill into
the House at..the earliest possible moment
as he is particularly solicitious that 1t
should pass the House before the holidays.
If IT should follow the district bill very
interesting debate would be precipitated
The future policy of the government Is
ordained in the bill for the increase of the
standing army and the whole subject will
be opened up.
The Democrats are divided on the ques-
tion of increasing the regular army but
how far they will go in antagonizing the
measure it is impossible to forecast. Only

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Senate May Devote Most Of Its Time
to Morgan Bill.
OPPOSITION WANT IT DEFERRED
UNTIL AFTER HOLIDAYS.

II
Up Monday and He Hopes For Action
op That Day-Otper Bills to Be Con-
sidered.
Washington, December 1.-THE course
of proceedings in the Senate this week
win depend upon the disposition that is
made Of the Nicaragua canal bill. 1t ia
Senator MorRan's intention to call up
this measure Monday, and he has ex-
pressed the hope that he will secure action
at the Monday session. Few Of his most
sanguine co-workers agree with him in
this opinion and the best indication is
that until agreemeet can be reached for
postponement several days at least will be
consumed In its consideration. The oppo-
nents to the measure will meet its sup
porters with proposition to defer con-
sideration until after the Christmas holi-
days and they will give as their reasons
for this request, the fact that the report
of the government commission appointed
to investigate the feasibility of the canal
has not yet been made urging the i'm
portance of receiving the information
which they will be able to furnish before
acting upon SO important question. IT
the bill Is taken up in earnest it will con-
sumo the greater portion Of the Ssrsue's
time until finally disposed of.
Another subject on the calendar ia the
anti-scalping bill which Senator Cullom
has informed the Senate he will seek to
get up at an early day, but will meet
with opposition If he makes the effort and
is not likely to succeed thus early in the
session.
The special order for Monday at 2
O'Clock is the bill providing for the
registry of foreign built ships, but If the
Nicaragua bill should be taken up the
registry bill would not be allowed to con-
sume much time. Senator Morrill, has
given notice OF motion Tuesday to con-
slider the bill providing for the purchase
OF site for the United States court but
the proceedings with reference to this
measure will be confined to 3 speech by
the Vermont senator.
The urgent deficiency bill will receive
attention early in tho week. The COM
mittee on appropriations will meet Mon
day and it is not believed that more thar
one meeting on the bill will be necessary
senator Allison, chairman OF the com
mittee, therefore, hopes to get the bill be-
fore the Senate for consideration Tuesday
1t has been prophesied that the army
bill would be used as a pretext for discus
sion of the Spanish war and the fear o.
such course has not entirely subsided.
