drove in from the Fort Shaw Indian

getting married. White is a Piegan In

was also employed as teacher Mrs.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press:-The reason why
women are better than men is because
they don't know it.
Style, TO a woman. means whether
you have to wear clothes that are too
big to look well, or only too small to
feel comfortable.
A married man always boasts about
his having made one woman happy, but
an old bachelor is the only one that can
be sure of it.
Even when a. girl has fixed a sprig of
mistletoe in her hair, so it will look like
it fell off the chandelier, she will pre-
tend TO fight against it.
All women believe in their hearts that
woman is the superior of man, but very
few OF them care to brag much about
it till after they get married.
AS soon as a girl thinks she owns a
man she begins to act hurt and dis
pleased when he doesn't put on an over
coat when it's cold out.

interference With Cable.
New York. Jan. 11.-Vice President
Thomas F. Clark, of the Western I'm
Ion Telegraph company, has returned
from Washington, where, for the last
few days, he has been laying before
the administration facts that may in
volve a complication with Spain.
Mr.. Clark is now at the head of the
Western Union affairs President Eek
ert IS on sick leave in the west, and
Mr.. Clark has taken his place. Long
before General Eckert went away the
directors Of the company had decided
they had a cause for complaint against
the Spanish government for the manner
in which the authorities in Havana had
interfered with the workings of the
cable between Havana and Key West.
The Western Union people have not
yet come to an exact determination of
the amount of damages they have sus-
tanned, but the figures will not fall far
short of 100000 and it may reach as
high as 81, 000 600. One of Mr.. Clark's
purposes in going to Washington was
to Insist that the Mckinley admins
tration make a formal demand upon
the government at Madrid for a pay
ment of these damages in full.
The company claims the official CEN
sorship has caused loss to their bust
ness, both in business and newspaper
matter. AS a result of Mr.. CIark's mis-
sion to Washington, it is understood
that the administration has prepared
and will promptly forward an urgent
protest to the Spanish government

A TIE.

"a tie added the speaker, "and the
chair votes aye" Thus the speaker
saved the day, and the motion to close
debate was carried. The Republicans
applauded most vociferously. The de-
bate was then resumed.
Mr.. Brossius, the chairman of the
comrittee on civil service, opened to-
days debate with an elaborate defense
of the merit system and an argument
for sustaining the law.
After some remarks by Messrs. Bell
(Pop., Cold and Eddy (Rep., Mimi,
Mr.. Simpson (Pop., Kan.) enlivened the
closing hour Of the debate with a, ref
erence to the senatorial contest in
Ohio. He said the debate had been
prolonged while the Republicans in
Ohio were making promises to the boys
in the trenches in the interest of SEN
ator Hanna. It was all a bluff, said
Mr.. Simpson. Nothing was to be done,
and now that Senator Hanna's election
was secured, the mask was thrown off,
and a vote was TO be taken tonight on
this bill. Whether the house would
have an opportunity later to consider
a bill Tor the modification or repeal of
the law would depend on the speaker,
said Mr.. Simpson.
THE WHOLE THING.
He is the whole thing" exclaimed
Gaughter.)
Have you consulted the speaker?''
asked Mr.. Quigg.
NO. replied Mr.. Simpson. He never
cOnsults me, and I never consult him.
Mr.. Allen Dem-, Niss.) entertained
the house with one of his short humor-
GUS speeches.
Mr.. Bailey (Dem., TeXas), leader of
the minority closed the debate with
some remarks defining the attitude Of
the Democrats. 1t was difficult, he
said, to believe in the sincerity of the
other side. when in one breath the Re
publicans avoWed their adherence to
the law, and in the next demanded its
practical destruction. If the law was
good, he said, it ought to be extended;
if not, it should be repealed. The Dem
ocrats, he said. We're ready to wipe it
off the statute books. They did not be-
iieve in life tenure, and while the re-
peal Of the law might turn some of
their friends out of office, they stood
by their party platform.
BILL PASSED.
With the conclusion of Mr. Bailey's
remarks, the time expired, and the bill
was reported to the house It was then
discovered that those who desired to
vote to strike out the appropriation for
the civil service commission had neg
lected to make the motion in commit
tee OF the whole. No vote, therefore.
could be taken, and the bill was passed
without division.
The agricultural and urgency def1ci-
ency bills were reported to the house.
and at 500 .. m. the house adjourned.
