The nOn-attendance of DR. ]. W

Education, caused that body to dis
cuss the matter of asking the physi-
clan to resign at its meeting last night
MIR. Belts, of the Sixth ward, brought

two bills which should be passed, but
he had been unable to secure the sig
nature OF his colleague, Dr. Crum-
baugh, which was necessary to make
them presentabie for the boards APP
proval. He asked that rule No. 26, re-
garding absentees, be read, and secre-
tary Bartram complied. 1t read that
any member absenting himself from
the meetings more than three times IN
succession, or absent two months with
out good reasons, the board shall de-
clare his seat vacant.
President Of the Board Shortldge

with City Solicitor Conrad about the
rule, and was informed that it could
not be carried out except by act Of the
Legislature Mr.. Belts, however, moved
that Dr. Crumbaugh be notified that

These bids were received for making

dnesday the Senate distanced tbe / sr,

On Wednesday the Senate distanced the
House when it came to prompt action, All
the traditional conservatism of that body
was thrown to the winds. 1t took less
than thirty minutes time and no speeches
to pass the bill in the Senate, while the
House gave up more than three hours to
debate. The blind chaplain had hardly
concluded the usual morning invocation
when Senator Hale, erstwhile the "con-
servative" Of the Senate on the Cuban
question, the friend of the late Minister
de LONE, made the report from the Com
mittee on Appropriations and added that
the committee Ind unanimously agreed to
the fifty millions. The Senator asked for
an immediate vote and, as is the custom
in the Senate, called fDr the yeas and
nays. There was no objection and the ia
miliar nasal sound of the voice of the
Senate clerk rang out announcing a roll
call. Not n dissent was raised.
The venerable Senators sat about with
grave faces. The most distinguished au-
dience that has assembled in the Senate
gallery this session looked down upon the
impressive net of legislation, so unusual
IN the Senate. 1t is safe to assert that
never before had that body appropriated
money at the rate of $2,OO0,0OO a minute
with such unanimity. The result was an
nounced-78 votes in the affirmative. No
dissenting vote. no Senators present and
not voting. The remaining Senators that
compose the body were accounted for by
the traditional respect for pairs which
characterizes the Senate. No applause
greeted the announcement. The House
on Tuesday applauded, roared, Kissed or
laughed by turns. Not a sign Of approval
or %disapproval was raised in the Senate,
for the rule forbids it. At $40 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon the emergency ap-
preparation bill was signed by President
Mckinley and became a law.
When it comes to facilitating business
and making no noise about it. the Senate
stands without a peer in the estimation
of parliamentarinns. Three minutes af-
ter it had given its assent SO u%nostenta-
tiously to a war measure the Senate
sounded four bells and closed the doors,
in order to work out the problem Of IN
unconfirmed postmaster in the sworn Sc
crecy Of its own councils.

Mr.. Cannon introduced this bill in his
individual capacity, but it was after a
most important conference ut the White
House attended by Secretary Long, Sen
ators Allison and Hale, and Representa-
tives Cannon, Dingley, Boutelle and Gros-
yenor. The conference continued for al
hour and was regarded as most signif-
cant. in view of the developments of the
day and the reports that the President
had given m emphatic refusal to the re-
quest for the recall Of Consul General
Lee, and another to the request that re-
lief supplies should be sent to Cuba in
merchant rather than in wal vessels.
While Senators and Representatives
were specializing as to the meaning Of
such a conference, the answer came from
Mr.. Cannon when he introduced his bill
appropriating $50,000,000 for the national
defense. There was much excitement in
the House, but Mr.. Cannon said he had
no ineention of adding to the excitement
throughout the country. "The bill speaks
for ITSELF" said he. at is an %appropria-

with a whoop.

On Tuesday the House by a unanimous
vote appropriated $50, 10000 to be used
by the President for national defense.
Wednesday the Senate, also by a unani-
nous vote and without debate, passed the
House bill within the length of time con-
sumed in readingsit and calling the roll.
In other words, the Senate in fifteen min
utes~ authorized the President to eXpend
$5O,OOO,OOO IL necessary to defend the
honor of the nation. The unity of the
American people may be u surprise and
a revelation to those unfamiliar with
American character, says a Washington
correspondent. In some quarters there
has been a belief that the enmities Of Sec
tional strife and the bitterness of our po-
litical contests had divided the people
beyond the possibility of reunion. But
suddenly the nation finds its peace endan-
gered and Its honor menaced from with
out, and 10, in a breath, as it were, every
local dissension has vanished and the peo-
pie are united in a common purpose. For
two days ut least the United States Con-
gress contained neither Republicans,
Democrats nor Populists, but Americans
only.
In a spirit Of patriotism, with eloquent
"OioS ringing Ill tueir earS, every member

lines were swept away ind with q unani-
nous voice Congress voted its confidence
N the administration. Many members
who were paired with absent colleagues
took the responsibility of breaking their
pairs, m unprecedented thing in legisla-
tive annals, in order that they might go
on record in support of this vast appro-
p%riation to maintain the dignity and honor
of the country. Speaker Reed, who as
presiding officer seldom votes, except in
case of n tie, had his name called and vot-
ed in his capacity as a Representative.

BOMBAY NATIVES RIOT.

The more ignorant natives have always
resented the measures to stamp out the
plague. The trouble began when n search
ing party visited the native quarter to
ascertain if there were any deaths from
the plague in the houses of low-caste Hin
docs and Mohammedans. The intrusion
was resented, ana in n surprisingly short
time a mob collected which vented its fury
upon all Europeans i'll sight. The police
fired a volley into the mob, killing six
natives and wounding many others. Bus
mess was suspended and all available
troops and artillery were called out.

The bill is not simply a private bill, it is
an administration bill and an emergency
measure. The situation regarding Cuba
has become so delicate that it is recognize
ed that war is inevitable unless Spain is
made to understand that this Government
is ready for war and will not stop at half
way measures. The President proposes to
be ready for any emergency, and if Spain
wants war she shall have it, but she will
I've driven from the western hemisphere.
She has done enough bluffing.
Although few persons will openly admit
1t, the feeling in the inner circles of the
administration at the time this is written
is that the country is on the verge Of war.
Conditions are such that an outbreak
seems unlikely to be long. postponed.
There is good authority for the statement
that Congress will declare war against
Spain soon after the report of the board
of inquiry into the Maine disaster has
been made public.
The change Of front on the part Of the
administration is regarded as significant.
Mr.. Mckinley, who all along had seemed
somewhat averse to the ominous move Of
asking Congress to assist him in making
preparations for war, has thrown off his
Indifference and did not hesitate to re-
quest the emergency appropriation of
$50,0O0,00O. The change in the attitude
of Speaker Reed was even more noticca-
BILE than in the case of the President. The
Speaker had set his face resolutely
against every proposed piece of legisla-
ton which might be construed as intend
ed to prepare the country for war. Mr..
Reed had declared that there should be
no increase in the standing army and that
the bills for 1900 additional seamen and
the arming of the auxiliary cruisers
should never sec the light Of day. Mon
day, however, Mr.. Reed looked and acted
very differently.
Heretofore the President has believed
that he could bring the war in Cuba to an
end by peaceful means. While not entire
ly confident that he could secure the peace
and independence for the island by such
means, lie hoped at least that he might
secure autonomy for Cuba with the prom

Cubans at some date in the future. Here
tofore all preparations made by the Presi-
dent have been for defense, for he has
recognized all along that war might result
in spite of all his precautions. Since he
has looked ut the evidence dcduced before
the board of inquiry he has changed oil his
plans.
During the last month q lesson in cool
ness and self-possession has been we'll
learned. If Spain were only able to real
lie 1t, the very calmness of the American
Government and the American people
