only doubt rises from the possibility
that some who pledged themselves will
yield to the tremendous pressure
brought upon them.'
| The motion which the Republican
leaders have decided upon, will be to
concur in the senate amendments, with
an amendment striking out the recog-
milton of the existing republic Of Cuba
This motion will take precedence oveI
all Others. There was some objection
to the fourth section of the resolution
which declares against annexation in
any form, but the leaders decided, in
view of the fact that the Senate un-
animously adopted it, to allow it tt
stand. The leaders are confident that
their motion will prevail.

it's amendments, and it is stated that a
sufficient number of Republicans have
said that they would stand with the

KISSED Her ON A BET.

She Was q Salvation Lassie; He, Her HuS-
band-Traveling Men Didn't Know That
A clever trick was worked by Walter
Redmond and his wife at Union station
by which several travelling men were
duped out of their money. At the end
Of long seat in the waiting room was
a pretty and modest looking young wo-
man sttired in Salvation Army uni
form. She was very intent upon pa
per which she was reading and paid lit
tie attention to the crowd of travelling
men standing near her.
Aside from the crowd was a well
dressed young man, who was walking
back and forth by the newsstand puff
ing away at fragrant cigar. Finally a
member of the crowd Of travelling men
remarked upon the beauty of the little
Salvation Army worker. All eyes were
fixed on the little woman, and she re-
ceived many compliments The prosper
GUS looking young man who had been
walking near the group Of drummers
drew near to the crowd. He, too, was
struck with the appearance of the wo'
man.
"I'll give any one Of you fellows SID
If you kiss that girl, " said he.
Those in the crowd took the dare.
One spoke up, however, and said to the
stranger who had offered the money,
"I'Il bet you $40 that you can't kiss
her. -
The stranger hesitated for several sec
onds and then said:
"I'll Just take that bet.''
The money was put up. and thu
stranger, who had given his name al
Walter Redmond, walked over toward
the little woman in uniform, and, afte'
bowling profoundly, took q seat by hel
side.
At first the woman seemed to be very
indignant, and the travelling maj
thought he had the $40 won A minut,
later, however, Redmond's arm stolt
around the woman's waist. The specta
tors then began to open their eyes wide
One Of them said: "That fellow has
whole lot of influence over that girl. ]
may be that he is hypnotist. - Red
mond talked for probably two minute
and then kissed the woman.
Redmond walked over to the stake
holder and received his money. He thel
started from the depot. The little wo
man quickly arose from her seat, and
taking his arm, walked to Ninth ant
Broadway, where the couple took al
East Broadway car. Redmond is tai
and handsome. His wife is a blon'
and is exceptionally pretty.

HIS HIGH PRICED EYE.

how . Clever BunkO Game Was Played
ON n Som of Sunny Italy.
A we'll planned scheme was worked
on a down town Italian confectioner
the other night whereby he lost $50.
About p. m. man who had one good
eye and one glass eye came wandering
along the street and stopped at this
Italian 8 fruit stand. He stopped over
to look at some of the fruit, when IN
expectedly his glass eye fell from its
socket down among the bananas and
oranges.
The pretending purchaser at once be-
gan a diligent search for the missing
glass eye. With both hands he clawed
into the fruit, scattering it in all di-
rections The Italian came forward and
told the stranger to stop. The one eyed
man explained that his glass eye had
dropped down there and that he wanted
to get it.
The Italian became enraged and told
the stranger to come around in the even
ing and he could get the other eye. The
man explained he was a stranger and
would not be here in the evening, but
If he (the Italian) found the eye he
should bring it to his hotel, where 500
would be paid to him.
An hour later another man came
along, pretended to make q purchase,
and while lingering around in the fruit
suddenly espied the wonderful glass eye.
The man from Italy made grab for it.,
but was too late, as his would be Gus
toner already had it. Both claimed the
eye, and quarrel ensued. The Italian
patched matters up by giving the stran-
ger $50 for the eye, thinking he would
get 500 upon returning it and be
would have $50 clear.
He went to the hotel with the eye to
get the 500 that he was told awaited
him there. He found that no such man
had been there and no 500 was left
there for him. He then saw how he was
worked and notified the police. Pitts

Up in the great watershed dividing

of northern Mongolia.
Sable hunting in the Siberian noun
tains and northern Mongolia is confined
almost exclusively to the Syots and 9TH
Or native races, and it would surprise a
good many fur dealers in England to
know the prices which are paid by the
Siberian traders to these poor aborigines
for the skins they collect
The Siberian trader, knowing his
market, makes periodical journeys into
Mongolia. 1t is safe to say he does not
