The Day Chiefly Given to Executive
Sessions

SESSIONS
WASHINGTON, April LIN the open SEES.
sion Of the senate today Chandler of New
Hampshire called up the resolution he in.
troduced yesterday requesting the presi-
dent to send the Cuban consular correspon-
dence to the senate, and at his suggestion II
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations. Immediately afterward, how
ever. he introduced another resolution
which went over, calling upon the secre-
tary of state for the same information.
After the passage Of a few bills the SEN
ate went into secret executive session, the
proceedings occupying the greater part Of
the afternoon and devoted to a discussion
of the wisdom of purchasing the Danish
West India islands.
At 1880 secret session was ordered.
At 4:30 p. m. the senate went from secret
legislative into executive session and soon
afterward adjourned.
IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
The senate spent almost the entire day in
the discussion Of the resolution reported
yesterday from the senate committee on
foreign relations for the acquisition Of the
West India islands owned by Denmark and
the session was closed by the practical
withdrawal Of the resolution by Senator
Lodge, its author. He stated that the de-
bate had developed such q wide difference
Of opinion in the senate, whore there had
heretofore been such unanimity. that he
would not further press the matter at a
time when the president needed the sup
port of all senators Of all parties. He
moved that the senate proceed to the con-
sideration Of executive business, thus vol
unfairly for the time abandoning the reso-
luton.
This action on the part of Senator Lodge
was preceded by an animated debate In
which many sharp words were exchanged
over the policy of bringing in a proposition
liable to divide the senate at time when
unanimity was especially desirable and
when all parties had shown q disposition to
give their uttermost support to the admin
istration in preparation for the war which
almost all the speakers considered prob
able.
Senator Mason was among the supporters
Of the resolution. He put his support on the
ground that he was willing to aid the ad.
ministration in any demand for the sue.
cessful prosecution of a war with Spain.
The senate went into executive session on
motion of Senator Lodge, member Of the
committee on foreign relations. Senator
Lodge was not with the committee during
the last half hour Of its session. The pur-
pose Of the secret session was the consid-
Grafton of the resolution reported yester-
day from the committee on foreign rela-
lions of the acquisition Of the Danish West
India islands.

Enlarging the White House

The plans for an enlarged White House
or, rather. for semi-detached wings for
official use-as made by the late Mrs. Har-
rison, are said to be again receiving favor

president Of the United States is entitled
to business establishment apart from
the roof that shelters him. He ought to
have place Of retreat from the Emporium

chief magistrate. and the obligation ought

Black powder. with its gliStening

brrauSe il eXplodes too quickly. and
when the charge is fired il turns al
most instanIaneously into gas. eNerting
Immediately all it's force. which. of

toward the muzzle. because the gas has
more room Chat is. the inside of the
gum TO expand in. &c.. 49,.
Buf nowadays what is called "slow-
burning" powder is used. When il is
fsniled the rrojectile first moves slow
ly: but as the powder continues burn
ing. the quantity of gas. and conse-
quently the pressure. is constantly in
c!ruSirg: thus the speed Of the shot be-
cones greater as IL goes oul Of the gun.
Sometimes grains OF powder still burn
ing are thrown out when the gun is
fired. which shows how slowly it ig-
niles.
This new powder is brown. and ii is
made up into hexagonal. or siX-sided
pieces. with holes through their centers.
y mass Of il looks exactly like n lot Of
rusty iron nuts. Each Of these grains.
or "pTiSIas." is about the size OF Il large
