Badly Frightened by an Echo.

Engineer Frank Haring, who
brought the Big -Four train from
North Vernon to Louisville, had the
most frightful experience of his life.
1t was his first run on the road, and
he was not informed as to the mysteries
of ''Echo Cut, spot feared by train
men, located near McNab's Station,
Ind. As the train entered Echo Cut
Haring blew his whistle several times,
and in second the sound of prolonged
whistling, evidently from train ahead
of him in the cut, came back. He
quickly reversed his engine, and with
his whistle throttle wide open, brought
the train to standstill. He was COM
pletely prostrated by the strain he had
undergone. Having brought his train
on to the city, he was somewhat crest
fallen when told that the supposed
warning whistle was simply an echo

Barrels Made of Paper.

John Vandevelde of Cleveland is the
inventor of two articles which will
have tendency to decrease the price
of several commodities. His inven-
tions are paper barrels and paper bot
ties for beer OF other beverages. For
long time the price of many liquid
commodities sold in bulk has been
gauged by the price of the barrels in
which they are transported. The bar
rels are constructed for the greater
part of paper cardboard, which is i'm
pervious to water. They are slightly
shorter in height than the ordinary
barrel, but will hold as much, as they
are without the usual bilge of the
wooden barrel. The paper in the
walls of the barrel is three-fourths OF
an inch in thickness, of many plies,
between which are thick coatings OF
specially prepared glue.
About the middle of the barrel is q
single hoop of steel, three inches wide
and three-eigths of an inch thick.
This, therefore, extends from the bar
rel to such distance as to permit of
the barrel being readily swung about
on its centre. Pressed over the ends
of the walls of the barrel are rims of
pressed steel three-fourths of an inch
thick and extending downward three
inches. 1t is ON an indented surface
in the inner portion OF this rim that
the head of the barrel rests. The heads
are also made of paper, slightly thick
er than that in the walls of the barrel.
They are held in place by three bolts
passing through the barrel from end
to end. Nuts on each end hold them
in place and permit of the heads being
easily removed or placed in short or

INTO executive session and Mr.. Davis
continued his speech ON the Hawaiian
question. Mr.. Davis speech today
vas devoted largely to presentation
bf the strategic features of annexation.
He displayed a chart showing the loca-
zion of Hawaii relative to this country
and to Asia. One of the points brought
out with considerable elaboration was
the probable effect on the Nicaragua
canal, of the occupation of the islands
by some foreign power. He illustrated
by a reference to the map showing that
Hawaii was in a straight line between
the western terminus of the canal and
Japan and China. The nation, he
said, which controls Hawaii, will con-
troll that great gateway of commerce,
and the guns planted upon Hawaii
would be pointed directly at the mouth
Of the canal Senator Allen, of Ne
braslla, followed in opposition to the
treaty. He called attention to the
distance of Hawaii from our own
shores, referred to the necessity we
would be under of defending the
islands in case of war, and claimed that
on this account it would be necessary
for the United States to establish and
maintain separate fleet for their pro-
lection, as well as an army on the
islands. The senate then adjourned.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
The House-Monday.

The civil service debate was again
resumed today. The opponents OF
the law had much the best of the de-
bate as far as the numbers of those en-
gaging in it were concerned. Nine OF
the eleven speakers were of the oppo.
sition. The friends of the law are
very anxious to shut off further debate
and in this will have the cooperation
of the speaker and the rules commit
tee. Mr.. Moody, who has charge of
the bill, gave notice that he would test
the sense of the house tomorrow on
motion to close debate. The opposi-
tion Immediately sent word to all in
their ranks to be on hand, and they
say they will have no difficulty in de-
feating the motion. The entire day
was consumed by the debate, when at
5 o'clock the house adjourned.
The Senate.
A bill was reported favorably from
the Indian committee prohibiting rail
road companies from charging more

through the Indian territory -. A
resolution looking to the filtration Of

bia committee .. . At 1880 p. m., the
senate went into executive session to

treaty. The treaty was not taken up

first confirmed Immediately after
the treaty was called up Senator Petit
grew offered his motion for conducting
the debate on it with open DOORS
which was antagonized by Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, and others. A ma
jority of those favoring open doors are
opposed to ratification, but not all ol
them are on that side of the main CON
troversy. The senate decided not t
debate the Hawaiian treaty in opel
session, aud at 3 :45 p. m. adjourned.

The House-Thursday.

The house today entered upon the
consideration of the agricultural appro-
priation bill The bill carries 50, 313, :
3O2, being $135,5O0 in excess Of the
amount for the current year. Mr..
Wadsworth, of New York, chairman Of
the agricultural committee, explained
that the increases were due to the
growing demand for inspections OF
meat and meat products for export.
Under the latitude allowed for debate,
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, submit
ted an extended argument in favor of
the establishment of the postal savings
bank system. -. After some remarks
by Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, in support
of the appropriation in the bill for seed
distribution and in eulogy of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, whom he de-
scribed as genuine hard-fisted farmer,
Mr.. DeArmond, of Missouri, got the
floor and submitted some sarcastic
comments on the report of the election
of Senator Hanna, at Columbus yester-
day. He read the telegram sent by
Mr.. Hanna to President Mckinley
"God reigns and the republican party
still lives" from which the basis of
his remarks were taken An amend
ment was offered to strike out the ap-
preparation for seed distribution,
which was defeated by vote of 119 to
115. After sharp debate an amend
ment appropriating $1O5, 900 for the
publication and distribution Of $50, 900
copies of the ''horse book" was adopt
ed, 115 to lob. The house then ad-
journed.
The Senate.
Among the measures reported to the
senate today was the pension appro-
priation bill. 1t was placed on the
calendar. At the conclusion of the
morning business the immigration bill,
the unfinished business, was taken up,
and Mr.. Caffery, of Louisiana, was
recognized for speech in opposition
to the measure. :. Eulogies in memory
of Senator Harris, of Tennessee, which
were to have been presented today
were postponed = The senate did not
make great progress with the Hawaiisn
annexation treaty. Several speeches
were delivered, but In every instance
the speakers announced that today's
remarks were merely preliminary to
what they should say before the close
of the senate. Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, made the principal speech of
the day.
Senator Cannon, of Utah, presented
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the president is
requested, if in his opinion it is not
incompatible with the public interest,
to transmit to the senate at his earliest
convenience statement showing what
measures are in force by this govern
ment in the Island of Cuba and in
waters contiguous thereto, to protect
the lives and property of American
citizens now living in Cuba. Z"
