HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT.

travagantly worded parody on the
old. old story Of THE House Thai

that hall
That rose complete at Jacks creative
call.
Here stalks the impetuous COW with
p1plaI horn
Whereon the eXacerbating hound was
torn,
Who bayed the feline slaughter-beast
that slew
The rat predacious, whose keen fangs
ran through
The textile ibres that involved the
grain
Which lay in Hans inviolate domain.
Here walks forlorn the damsel
crowned with rue
Lactiferous spoils from vaccine dugs
who drew

tuous horn
Tossed to the clouds in fierce vindic-
The narrowing hound whose braggart
bark and stir
Arched the 1.-THE spine and reared tn
indignant fur
OF puss. that with verminicidal claw
Struck the weird rat in whose insa-
tiate NAV
Lay reeking malt that erst in Juan's
courts we saw.
ROBBED in senescent garb that seems
in sooth
Too long a prey to Chrono's iron
tooth,
Behold the man whose amorous lips
incline,
Full with Gross osculative sign,
To the lorn maiden whose lactalbic
hands
Drew albu-lactic bovine wealth from
tactical glands
OF that immortal bovine, by whose
Distort to realm ethereal was borne

Work in COMMITTEES

WASHINGTON, Dec S.--The senate
committee on foreign relations held meet.
ing today to consider the bill reported by
the Hawaiian commission for the govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands. The bill was
only considered in very general way, the
committee deciding to postpone the detail
work upon it for a week. The decision
was reached because the full report of the
committee had not been printed. At the
meeting next Wednesday the measure will
I've taken up section by section, and the
whole matter will be very carefully con-
sidered with the view of presenting it in as
perfect shape as possible to the senate.
Senators Cullom and Morgan, who are mem
bers of the committee, and also members
of the commission, were present at today S
meeting and explained many of the general
features of the bill.
While no disposition was manifested to
make any opposition to the Hawaiian bill
as a whole, some of the members of the
committee indicated desire to amend it in
some particulars.
Senator Turpie was among those who
showed such disposition. His objection to
the bill, as reported, was on account Of the
provision for a congressional delegate. The
supporters of the bill indicated willing
ness to strike out this provision, and it
looks as if this will be done.

IN THE HOUSE
Funds Provided for Army and Navy
Support

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The urgent de-
ficiency bill to provide for the support of the
military and naval establishments was
passed by the house today, practically with
out opposition. A fear had been expressed
that the measure might open up prolonged
debate upon the conduct of the war. but
the Democratic leaders decided that such a
| debate would properly come later, upon the
regular appropriation bills or upon the bill
for the reorganization of the army. There
was not word of criticism of the war dur
ing the debate. The only point upon which
an issue was raised today was as to whether
the bill, providing, as it did, for the pay OF
the volunteers until July, 1899, might not
be construed as modification OF the law
under which the volunteers were mustered
into service.
Mr.. McRae (Ark.) offered an amendment
providing that it should not be so con-
strued, and upon it there was gen. al dis
cusson as to the advisability of mastering
the volunteers out before the regular army
was increased. Mr.. Cannon finally accepted
the McRae amendment, and that removed
the only shadow of opposition to the bill.
A number of amendments were adopted
upon the recommendation of the appropra
tions committee, which received some sup
Elemental estimates after the bill was pre-
pared. The largest of these were an item
Of S3,000,000 for an emergency fund for the
war department, and $578000 for the ord
nance department increasing the amount
carried by the bill to 500, $780, 1892.
The conference report upon the bill to
render the sureties of consols, vice consols
and consular agents liable for damages in
suit at law, was adopted.
The house adjourned over until Monday
to give the committee an opportunity to
work without interruption.
On motion of Chairman Cannon of the
appropriations committee, the house went
into committee of the whole Immediately
after the reading of the journal to consider
the urgent deficiency bill for the support of
the military and naval establishments dur
ing the six months beginning January l,
1899.

Bank Wrecker on Trial

PHILADELPHIA, Dec S.-The trial OF
William Steele, cashier of the wrecked
Chestnut Street National bank, who is
charged with aiding the late William Sim
gerly in the looting of the bank, was COM
menced in the United States district court
today. District Attorney Beck, in his OPEN
ing speech, was very severe in his comments
on MIR. Singerly in the management of the
bank. Bank Examiner Hart testified that
Mr. Singerly had for several years been in
debted to the bank to the extent of between
100000 and SS0O,OOO, which indebtedness
made the institution insolvent. The fact
that Singerly owed the bank so much money
was concealed, however, by manipulation of
the figures of the banks books.

PARIS, Dec. S.-The United States and

the treaty of peace. They will meet once

day next, when the Spanish commissioners,
sorrowfully, and the Americans with feel

the war itself. In the meantime, the treaty
will be engrossed under the supervision of

bed in state of complete collapse, as the re
suit of the long strain and his chagrin over
the small fruits of his efforts.
Senior Ojeda has been prostrated since yes
terday and was unable to attend the Joint
session today.
ALL EUROPE BLAMED
The Spaniards charge equal blame upon
the European powers and the United States
for their downfall. One of the Spanish com.
missioners said this evening:
The European, nations bave,madc great
mistake in deserting Spain and leaving hel
to spoilation by the brute force of a con,
scienceless giant. They all know that in the
philippines America has taken more than
she can digest. She will ultimately sell the
Islands to England or Germany and when
the transfer is made they will precipitate a
general European strife.
We have refused to sell any island in the
Carolines. We never thought of considerino
an offer. Nor have we consented TO neoo
tate upon any questions except those direct
" involved in the protocol signed at Wash
ington." "''

the ship was pronounced seaworthy. This
was told the crew, but still they protested

Spanish Resentment

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Madrid CORE.
spondent of the Standard says:
The strongest comments are made upon
the little disposition the United States has
shown to respond to the Spanish demands
for prompt release of the IL 600 Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Tagalas and a
restitution of private and officials deposits
now lying in the colonial official and judicial
deposit banks.
Everything seems to show that the last
stage in the negotiations has taken turn
hardly calculated to pacify Spanish public
opinion or to facilitate for a long time to
come the renewal of friendly relations be-
tween the two governments. Most of the
newspapers favor the idea of selling the
Carolines and the other possessions of Spain
in the Pacific to Germany or to some other
nation willing to pay better price than the
United States.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
The prayer of the chaplain of the United
States senate invoking the blessing Of
heaven upon Spain is much resented in high
circles.
Senior Sagasta denies the statement in an
interview attributed to him certain sharp
remarks on the policy of the United States.
