Washington, Feb. 1S-The house de-
bated on the bankruptcy bill until noon
and them Immediately after the read
ing Of the journal. Mr.. Bouteile, rep,
Maine, chairman of the naval commit
tee. asked unanimous consent for the
consideration OF the resolution prepared
by the naval department and passed by
the senate. The mere mention or the
Maine disaster brought members IN
crowds from the cloak rooms and lob
bes and they thronged down the a1sies
to listen The spectators in the galleries
leaned over with breathless interest as
Secretary Longs letter was read.
1T Is unnecessary to say, said Mr..
Boutelle at the conclusion of the letter
from Secretary Long, that the work OIL
salvage should begin at once, and that
arrangements with the wreeking COM
panes which have necessary outfits
should not be delayed | deem 1t proper
to call attention to the fact that Secre-
tary Long. recognizing that congress Is
in session, has come here for authority
to do this work, instead of straining any
authority he might possess independ-
entity
Mr., Bailey called attention to the fact
that the resolution only spoke of recov-
ering the bodies not of their return to
this country, but he added that there
need be po sticking on this point Mr.,
Boutelle replied that the secretary had
referred IN hi S letter 10 MS G1ty Ill
that regard He said he had just re-
ceived a telegram from Secretary Long
this morning containing the latest in
formation from Captain Sgsbee and
that it might be of interest to the MEM
bers.

from the members and Mr.. Boutelle
then read the cable from Captain Sgs-
bee which had already been given out
by the navy department. Mr.. Sul2er,
dem. n. Y. asked Mr.. Bontelle II he
had any information otherwise that
threw any light upon the cause of the
disaster.
Il must reply az | did yesterday, re-
piled Mr.. Boutelle, that | regret 10 say

Refugee but neither Of the joint favorites
at post time ever got squint at the
purse. The winner turned up in Holly's
Montallade. on whom there was a big
plunge just before post time, and Montal-
Iade was backed from II to. to !. The
tip on Refugee went to the pool rooms
all over the country and the result was
probably the same elsewhere as here
usurious dividends for the pencilers.
Old Refugee delayed the start for some
time. and when they got away he was in
the lead. He led into the stretch. but
had enough and Mainstay took the lead
and looked to be winning when Montai-
lade came very fast and won by three
lengths, Mainstay three-quarters of
length in front of Mamie Scott. Roche
broke down in the stretch. Nearly every
member of the Eostoniahs. now playing
here, had IA ticket on the winner and the
result was hilarity In the operate camp.
Some one high in authority at Oakland
gave the company hot written tip on
night. Old Mainstay, who was to l for
place. was second in the finish and Ma
mie Scott, 20 to l. third.

CHINESE LADIES ENTERTAIN.
Semi.Public Dinner Given to Euro

semi-Public Dinner Given to Euro
pean Ladies'.
Two years ago who would have be-
lieved in ten Chinese ladies' of distinc-
ton from various parts of the vast en-
pire inviting some so or so European
ladies Of different nationalities to a
large semi-public dinner, and not only
inviting them, but themselves sitting
down with them, conversing with them
as far as the exigencies of language
permitted, and partaking of the for
eign fare in regular European style,
knives and forks, champagne and flow
er-spread tablecloths all included? :?
But it has taken place.
The dinner was lately held in the
largest dining-hall in Chang Su Hos
garden. All the foreign consuls' wives
were invited, together with certain
number of missionary ladies and few
others. There was goodly gathering
of Chinese ladies, with little sprink-
ling of natural-footed Manchus, and al
though when dinner was announced a
certain number of gentlemen, kindly
experimenting arrangements, called
out: Foreign ladies to this side, be-
cause it is warmer!" yet Chinese and
European ladies sat down fairly mixed.
There were several little girls at the
banquet. three especially noticeable in
vapor-colored satin gowns, cleaning
with pearls, so as to produce quite
moonbeam effect as they were carried
away in their men attendants arms,
under the electric light, the rouge on
their little faces preventing anyone
noticing the effect that crippling had
there. Women servants waited behind
many Of the Chinese ladies to light
their pipes for them, ETC., otherwise
the dinner was entirely served by men.
For hundreds of years now the Chi.
nese have treated their womenkind as
a negligible quantity, and yet with all
their neglect and suppression, no impair
tial person could look around and not
be struck by the quiet dignity of the
Chinese ladies among what must have
been to them very different surround
