 Mir German concluded with the state nent that it had been predetermined con- gress should adjourn with slim appropria- tions and no legislation whatever.
 MT. Perkins of California, in charge of the bill then made a general statement regarding the bill, saying it had been framed upon estimates submitted by the secretary of the interior, the officer or the government charged with that duty.
 MT. Allen of Nebraska offered an amend ment to the bill providing that hereafter no pension of less than sS per month should be granted and that all pensions less than sS a month now being paid be raised to that amount.
 MT. Perkins made the point against the amendment that it was new legislation. Without reaching any conclusion as to the point of order, the senate, at 5 p. m., ad- journed

IN THE HOUSE.
Mir, Simpson Reviewed the Achievements of the
 Populist Party

Washington, Jan. A.-At the opening ses- sion of the house MT Kloeberg, (dem) or Texas, and Mir. Cookery, (dem.) Of Mis- souri. called attention to a poll of the house on the immigration bill printed in New York paper this morning. They had been made to favor the bill, and were op- posed to it.
 .J suggest that the roll be called" ex- claimed MT. Cannon, Gep) Of lliioms' land the poll corrected"
 ''The chair thinks the Jurisdiction Of the house does not go beyond the congressional record" muttered the speaker dryly.
 Mr. Boutelle, Gep) of Maine, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, re- ported back the two resolutions calling on the secretary of the navy for information as to the suitability of sites for an armor plate factory in the south with the recom- mendation that they lay on the table. The report called attention to the fact that the invitations had been issued for sealed proposals for the land, buildings and ma chinery for a government armor plate factory, which would be opened Jan. 29, 1898, and that the secretary, when these were opened would send a special report to congress containing all information In view of the fact that the secretary was telle said, he thought it necessary to call

on the secretary for the information which he would furnish.
 Insisted on Division.
 The first resolution was laid upon the table without division, but MT. Underwood (dem) of Alabama insisted upon a divis- ion upon his resolution calling upon the secretary for the information obtained by the arnor plate board as to the advant- ages of southern places as locations for an armor plate plant, but by vote of 107 to 1e5 the resolution was tabled,
 MT. Curtis rep) of Iowa then claimed the day for business from the District of Columbia committed
 Two hours were consumed in the con- sideration of District business, after which the house went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the , Indian appropriation bill.
 Speaking to pro forma amendment MT. Simpson (pop.) of Kansas commented on an interview with the president relative

eeeeeeeGo Goeeeseeseees

to the strike in the cotton mills of New England, wherein the president was quoted as deprecating the condition of labor and as favoring a restriction of immigration.
 Mr. Simpson spoke of the report of the agricultural department experts on the condition of the residents of the slums of . New York, in which he said the experts alleged that their poverty was due to ex- travagance. The experts, he said, stated that these people sometimes bought beef steak when they could get twice as much nutriment out of bananas. The upshot of MT. Simpsons comment was that there should be economy in governmental af- fairs.
 MT. Dingey (rep) of Maine replied in some good-natured remarks in which he twitted MT. Simpson on having ceased to wall of the miseries of bleeding Kansas and was now looking for misery elsewhere.
 "We have populist rule in Kansas now and there is no longer any misery out there" interposed MT. Simpson.
 Isn't populist rule misery enough?' ex- claimed MT. Henderson (rep) of Iowa.
 Poor Rule in Kansas.
 MT. Curtis, Tep.) of Kansas, comment
 
 the reappearance of prosperity owing to the populist rule, said that in one year of republican rule in this country the farm CTS of Kansas had paid off s50,OOO,OOO of mortgages, while under populist rule in Kansas every state institution was suffer- ing for lack of funds, and for the first time in years state warrants were being stamped mot good for lack of funds" The people of Kansas, he said were proud of the republican party
 MT. Simpson, in reply, said that when the populists retired from power three years ago they left ,OOO in the state treasury. When they resumed last year the treasury was bankrupt.
 MT. Simpson reviewed some achieve ments of the populist party in his state, and was met by MT. Curtis with the as- sertion that they had not kept a pledge they had made.
 The controversy attracted more and more attention as it proceeded, and grad ually others were drawn into it.
 MT. Grosvenor, (rep) of Ohio, took ex- ception to MT. Simpsons quotations from the alleged interview with the president on the immigration question. The alleged interview, he said, purported to be what MT. Mckinley had said in private con versation. While he did not pretend to speak bx authority, he said he did not be- lieve the president had given utterance to some of the alleged expressions. Quoting the sentence which made the president say he would use his personal infiunce with members of the house to secure the passage of the immigration bill he asked if there was member on the floor who believed the president had said such things.
 "No. mo-" came in a chorus from the re- publican side.
 After completing seven pages of the bill, the house adjourned.

president to abandon his policy of over- throwing the provisional Hawaiian govern ment. The correspondence he read. he said, laid the foundation for the broad predicate that MT. Cleveland was capable of declaring one policy and intending to carry into effect another.
 MT. White of California cautiously refer red to Mir Morgan's discussion of the Hawaiian question in open session, and de- clared the senator's remarks showed the utter futility and folly of confining the discussion of such matters to the execu- tive session of the senate.
 The pension appropriation bill was then called up and MT. German briefly addressed the senate on the measure. He said the bill did not carry by eight or ten milton dollars the sum necessary for the pensions of 1Ss9 He charged that the bill was framed to meet the deficit in revenues, which, he said, was anticipated by the administra- tion.

The Order of Runnymede
 The Latest Ancestral Fad

To be quite up-to-date one must make an effort to be connected with some kind of an ancestral society It is the fad of the moment to investigate ones forefathers and the fancy is growing in popularity with the people of this country. The latest or ganization of the kind is impressively called the Baronial Order of Runnymede, and the following details regarding this society from an exchange will be of in- terest
 The modern American fad for ancestral societies and orders has reached it's great est antiquity in the organization of the Baronial Order of Runnymede. A meeting of founders of the order was held at the house of Dr. Charles D. cadwalader, No. 24O South Fourth street, Philadelphia.
 All sorts of patriotic ancestral societies are f1ourishing now in New York and have spread throughout the country. The rival Sons and Daughters of the Revolution and the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution did not require tall enough fam fly trees to suit persons whose genealogical record ran further back, the Society of the Colonial Wars was formed, with mar rover limits.
 But all these societies, even including Queen Lavinia Dempsey's Royal Holland Danes, were too modern in their origin to really fit the old families who have em- blazoned coats of arms, with lions and unicorns and all such animals rampant and heroic notices underneath. Therefore a jump of several centuries back into old English history and genealogy has been made for a foundation for this latest socie- ty of great ancestors and more or less obscure descendants.
 The Baronial Order of Runnymede limits its membership to those persons who can prove a lineal descent from one of the Eng fish barons who forced King John to sign the Magma Charta on the field of Runny- mede. Membership is divided into two classes:
 First, men descended from one of the twenty-five barons who were elected by the others to serve as sureties or trustees of the Magma Charta, to see that its pro- visions were carried out; second, men de- scended from other barons who were in arms for the charter.
 Investigation of records show, rather strangely, that there are more known de- scendants of the twenty-five sureties in this country than of the other patriotic Englishmen, of whom there were more than 20O0 knights in arms.
