WASHINGTON, March e7-The i'm
portant event of the week in the senate
viii be the receipt Of the presidents mes
sage, transmitting the report of the
Maine court of inquiry which is expect
ed early in the day Monday. The pres
ent understanding is that the report will
be referred to the committee on foreign
relations and sent to the printer without
being read. or more than incidentally re-
ferred to. and. that after this nothing
more will be said concerning it until the
committee shall have had reasonable
opportunity 10 consider it, or until some
further communication may be received
from the president on the Cuban ques-
tion. There has been general appeal
from the administration TO the senate 10
avoid undue agitation on the Cuban SUBJ
ject until the president can have an op-
portunlty to formulate the policy, and the
senate appears quite disposed TO comply
with the request, Still there is no doubt
that the senate would grow very restive
under delay.
Senator Money expects to make speech
tomorrow Oh the lines OF those OF Proc
tor, Gallinger and Thurston, BASED upon
his observations in Cuba
What further discussion there may be
during the week on the Cuban situation
will depend so largely upon future de-
velonments that it is use.eSs to discuss
ths probabilities. IL the president should
make a recommendation or the commit
tee on foreigu relations a report, the SEN
ate at once would be the center of an
animated discussion, the result OF which
would be some radical declaration against
Spain. The problem now is TO hold the
expression Of opinion down to the mini
mum, pending the negotiations Of the
president and the deliberations OF tho
committee.
There is very little heart in the senate
for any other business than that re.aing
to Cuba, and the probabilities are that
comparatively little will be done and that
the sessions VII. be comparatively quiet.
Aside from Senator Moneys speech. there
is a special order providing for the taking
up OF the private pension bills on the CAL
endar Monday. beginning at 1 o'clock.
Tuesday at , o'clock eulogies will be de-
nvered on the .ate Senator Earle. of South
Carolina. Senator CafYrey's speech on the
quarantine bill. which has already run for
two days. has not been completed. and it
may be resumed during the week. 1t may
be said in Il general way. however, that
Cuba viii occupy almost the entire
thought if 1t is not the subject OF a
speech in the senate. for the week, and
while it may be possible 10 practically
suppress audible reference TO the subject.
II Is most likely to find opportunity for
some vent. This opportunity Will prob
ably be afforded on a resolution for the
appropriation of money to relieve the dis
tress Of the Cuban reconcentrados.
The sundry civil appropriation bill prob
ably viii be reportee 10 the senate Mon
day and taken up for consideration later
III the week.

SAILOR AND BULLDOG.

There were several amusing incidents
at the Curzon Hall dog show, but an
Edgbaston gentleman's story of his own
canine was the most comical. A few
weeks ago he and his wife were out for
the day, and they had given their two
servants a holiday also. During the
family's absence a sailor brother of the
gentleman unexpectedly arrived, and of
course found the house shut up. He
made his way to the back, and with
true sailor agility climbed up a spout
and effected an entrance through bed
room window. Thinking to enjoy him
self, and have the laugh of his brother,
he determined to explore the kitchen and
have a meal. But no sooner was the
kitchen door opened than a large bull
dog rushed at the sailor, who retreated
precipitately into far corner The dog
stood in front and fairly imprisoned him,
the slightest attempt to move produc-
ing a low growl and an ominous display
Of teeth. From o'clock to the poor
fellow was fraid to stir, and he felt re-
joiced when one of the servants re-
turned. But the girl had no sooner
struck a light and seen a strange man
in the house than she ran out scream
ing, presently coming back under the
protection of a policeman. The master
Of the house fortunately arrived as the
supposed burglar was about to be ar
rested, and satisfactory explanations
were made. But the sailor was a long
time before he saw the humor of the
affair.-WeS WeStminSter Gazette

cd by which Armenian peddlers awaken
sympathy and secure trade has recent
ly been exposed. One Armenian woman
went to Maine six years aso, and as
soon as she had learned English enough
to make change and say "Buy-buy
somesing, me Chreesten," she started
out peddling, Since then she has sent
$500 home to her people, and has had
$500 in Bangor bank.
Though her husband and children re-
mained in Armenia, she always went
out on her trips carrying a dark-faced
baby along, whom she lugged for miles
over country roads and held up in the
face of the people who met her at the
houses where she called for trade. The
good wives and mothers, seeing the
pinched and hungry child, bought out
of sympathy, gave her free, meals, and
free lodgings, and often harnessed up
horse and took her from house to
house, thus helping~her to secure trade.
1 Though the woman was frugal, she
would drink all the liquor that her Gus
toners would buy for her. Recently
while in her cups she revealed the secret
of her success at trade. The child whom
she carried and kept lean and hungry
was not her own but was hired of an
Italian family in Boston, and she paid
81 week for the privilege of taking
the baby from place to place. She
showed receipts covering a period of
four years In that time she had en-
ployed five different children, three of
whom were furnished by one family.

THE TWIN CITIES.

q. A. Wheelock in January Harpers)
With these commanding advantages
of position with reference to eastern
outlets, and with 10 lines Of railroad,
including two great continental systems
radiating in every direction throughout
the immense region which is directly or
partially tributary to their trade, the
Twin Cities have an established and
rapldly-growing Importance as a com
mercial centre. st. Paul, the terminal

become co-eXtensively important as
livestock market.
Minneapolis, as an incident of its
great flour industry, has become the
leading wheat market of the west, Its
output of flour in 1896 was 1891, 900 bar
rels-more than twice its product in
1889. Fifteen years ago Chicago was the
great central wheat market of the west.
Even as late as four years ago it's wheat
receipts were over $4,000, 900 bushels. But
in 1896 they had declined to 19. .1O1. 1852
bushels; while the wheat receipts of
Minneapolis were 69,56S, $40 bushels, and
those of Duluth and Superior sc, 6O7, ,397-
the total Of the two cities being 126. 6.176.-
267 bushels, or six times and half the
Chicago receipts. These figures tell their
own story of the shifting of the trade
currents of the northwest to their natur-
al channels, and go far to explain the
remarkable growth of st. Paul and Min
neapolis from a population Of $4,000 in
1870 to more than ten times that number
in 1897.

RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.
(From the Jewish Chronicle, !,


The peculiarities of the Russian cen
sorship are now quite familiar. II is well
known that Russian newspaper is
liable to instant suppression when it's
editor has received three intimations of
official displeasure; that newspapers and
books from abroad can be stopped on
the frontier at the discretion of the gov
ernment; and that no publication con-
tanning any allusion to, or quotation
from, scripture may be issued before it
has been sanctioned, and, if necessary,
expurgated. by the ecclesiastical censor.
But even those who have studied the
system will be surprised and amused at
the latest instance of its application that
has been reported in this country. Some
weeks ago there appeared a novel, cali
led Hermann the Jew" The book dealt
with the Polish inSurrection of 1868; and
the historical incidents which it con-
tained are such as must be familiar to
all subjects of the czar who possess a
tincture Of education; certainly they
must be well known to all Russians who
are likely to read an English novel. The
plot was, it is true, concerned with the
attempt made by Russian governor of
Poland to possess himself, by the use of
his official power, OF beautiful Jewess,
the wife Of a prominent Jew of Warsaw.
But the wicked official is a character

STRENGTH ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Physical Directors of Leading Colleges
Meet in New York.

New York, Dec. S1--A meeting of the
physical directors of a number Of lead
ing colleges and universities of the
United States was held in this city to-
day. The meeting was to form an as
sociaton to discuss strength tests and
methods of holding them The follow
Ing institutions were represented: Yale
University, Ohio State University, Har-
ward University, New York University,
University of Pennsylvania, Trinity
College, Hartford; Princeton Universi-
ty, Amherst College, Johns Hopkins Uni
Versity, United States Military Acade-
my, University of Virginia, and Dart

laws We're adopted, the chief stipula-
tions of these being that no man shall be
member of the association unless he
is physical director or trainer in a

The following officers were elected:
President, DR.. Seaver, Yale; vice presi-
dent, DR.. Linehart, Ohio State Univers-
lty; secretary and treasurer, DR.. Wat
son Savage, Columbia. The above
named officers and DR.. Sargent. Har-
ward, and Prof. Cam, New York Uni
vers1ty, will constitute the council.
Ihe closing session of the annual
meeting OF the American Economic AS
soclatlon took place at Cleveland, O.,
Friday. The next convention will prob
ably be held at New Haven. Conn.
During the afternoon DR.. Sargent
made a report reading paper on
strength tests" He is chairman of
committee to create standard method
OF strength tests and the meeting will
approve or modify the suggested stand
ard. A paper on "Terminology" was
also read by DIR. Anderson of Yale.
The report Of the committee on
strength tests, composed of Messrs.
Sargent of Harvard. Seaver of Yale
ana Savage of Columbia, recommend
ing the adoption of uniform method
OF measurement was thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t was argued in favor of the
plan that heretofore a. different plan of
making measurements had ruled in
each college, and while each worked on
the same general plan, the results re-
ported had been of nature to confuse
other directors of gymnasiums in such
way that comparisons were all but
impossible. 1t was agreed that unifor-
nifty in the matter of measuring the
strength of men entering the different
colleges would be of much a 70 %stance to
the directors Of physical Development.
Inc plan of measurements st4 mitted by
the committee on strength tests was
approved. This is still in the hands of
the committee and is subject to mod;f-
