Washington, May 4.-There was a
brief, but sharp debate in the senate
on the income tax proposition. The
resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution of the United
States relating to succession to the
presidency was under discussion. Mr.
Mills dem, Tex proposed an amend
ment, in the form of new section,
intended to authorize congress to levy
a tax on incomes in such a form as to
meet the requirements of the decision
of the supreme court. He was sharply
such a rider on the resolution which
practically all the senators favored
but stood his ground and insisted
upon vote on his amendment, The
amendment was defeated, 80 to 20, all
the republicans voting against the
amendment and all the democrats, ex-
cept Mr., Gallery (La.), together with
the populists and silver republicans,
voting in favor of 1t. The joint reso-
luton adopted reads as follows: In
second clause fifth, OF the constitution
where there is no person entitled to
discharge the duties of the Office of
the president, the same shall devolye
upon the vice president. Congress may
by law provide for case where there
is no person entitled to hold the Of

SLEEVES WILL BE FLAT.
Fashion DEGREES That the Big Sleeves
Must 20.

There Is no question but that the
balloon and even the leg of mutton
sleeves will fade away Flat sleeves
are unquestionably coming into
fashion. A modiste just from Faris
says that the latest creations Of the
best dressmakers over there show
scarcely any fullness at all in the
shoulders Of the dresses. Therefore,
it is not too much to say that another
season will see us practically back to
the old style of tight sleeves.
Just at present the most popular
sleeve is that which has little globu
lar putting at the top and is plain
from there to the wrist. This puff
ing may be provided by the sleeve it
self or by an additional piece forming
a short extra sleeve. Another way
is to have it plain, except for few
plaits set in on the shoulder, which
style may have an epaulette or not,
as one pleases. Still another style
is cut and plated so as to give the
effect of double puff across the top
OF the arm. sometimes very little
fulness being used, and sometimes a
good zeal the sleeve Itself being
loose above the elbow.
All the sleeves mentioned may be
in single piece, though those with a
circular putting are generally cpt in
two. Sleeves running in tucks across
or gathered lengthwise in tiny puffs
and mounted on tight fitting Innings
are very fashionable just now, as
they suit thin fabrics particularly
we'll but there is a decided tendency
/ to prefer palmer forms in the very
latest productions
Dressmakers continue to cut sleeves
fully long, but the points coming
down over the hands are not so
/ frequent as of late. Lace RULES,
/ however, concealing a portion Of the
4 hand are seen on most of the smart
toilettes. A very small minority of
garden party costumes worn on diff
fereat occasions lately have elbows
rather wide and finished with deep
/ lace rufles, but this sort of sleeve
I is generally reserved for house dresses
and tea gowns. 1t might be added, too,
/ that many low evening dresses have
quite long sleeves.
/ Jackets and coat sleeves will of
course, be diminished in width as
dress sleeves grow smaller. but to
/ accommodate the inside sleeve a
/ certain amount OF breadth at the top
I is necessary. Therefore. the new
coats and Jackets which we will BEGIN
o think OF presently will continue to
be mounted in plats, though shallow
and reduced in number. Hanging
/ sleeves. reaching TO the elbow. will
be adapted to some Of the more fauei-
/ full jackets. ~

Washington. May 5.-The senate had
under consideration the postal appro-
priation bill, carrying 500. 224 800, the
heaviest Of all the appropriation bills.
The most important action taken upon
the measure was the adoption Of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Tillman Is,
c. reducing the number of deliveries
of mail in all cities to a number not
exceeding four each day. The amend
ment was sharply antagoniZed as a
blow to the business interests in large
cities. but the feeling OF the senate
was such that. despite the vigorous
opposition. it prevailed by a decisive
majority. A lively debate was precip-
itated by an amendment Of the COM
mittee striking out the appropriation
of $500 600 for rural delivery. The
proposition was discussed for nearly
two hours. Messrs. Chandler IN. II }
and Butler IN. CO. leading the fight
in favor OF rural delivery. BY the
close vote OF 25 to %, however. the
committee was sustained and the bill
now carries no appropriation for such
delivery. An important amendment 10

OIL TO LAY THE DUST
Experiment Being Tried on the
w. and b. Railroad.


The Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad company is ex-
perimenting with a view to adopting
a specially prepared oil as means
10 lay the dust caused by its flyers
The experiment is being made on its
line between Lanhams and Dean
wood, where the speed attained by the
trains is very high and the amount
or dust is correspondingly great.
The oil is distributed along the
roadbed by means of a specially con-
structed car. The 'spreader," as the
car is known, is a comparatively sim
pie contrivance, and with gum hose
and pipes is connected to an ordinary
oil tank car filled with the oil, the
spreading of the oil over the roadbed
being done at the rate of about four
miles an hour.
While this is the first experiment
on the p, w. and b. railroad between
Baltimore and Washington, the use Of
oil to destroy the nuisance caused
passengers by dust and dirt has been
undergoing a test on the Pennsyl-
vania lines running to the New Jer-
sey seashore, where the dust causes
the greatest annoyance, and it is
stated that the results are highly sat
isfactory.
The spreader is so constructed that
not a particle Of oil falls on the rails.
This of course, must be the case as
it would be impossible for a locom0-
tive TO haul its train were the rails
covered with oil.
Between 1000 and 5000 gallons OF
oil is required per mile of double
track, and it is claimed that one ap-
plication wul allay the dust and dirt
for year.
Should the experiments prove salts
factory, the tracks may be sprinkle0
from New York to Washington.

Washington, May 2.-Probably the
most important measure passed by
the senate was the emergency war
deficiency bill, carrying S35,720,945.
Mr.. Hawley secured the passage of
the bill providing for the enlistment
OF volunteer brigade of engineers
and 10000 men in the south, immune
to yellow fever. Two other war meas

tons placed by existing laws upon the
quartermaster's department of the
army, that supplies may be purchased
without the present formalities; the
other providing that owners of mining
claims shall not forfeit them for not
performing assessment work upon
them, provided they enlist for war.
Washington, May 1.-The passage
of the emergency war appropriation
bill, carrying $36,O00,0O0, was the fea-
ture in the house The naval appro-
priation bill, with senate amendment
providing for the payment of officers

Washington, May 3.-What prom
Used to be an uneventful and uninter-
esting session of the house was thrown
suddenly, after three hours of consid-
Grafton of private bills, into a session
of spirited speech-making among the
democratic members that savored at
times much of acrimony. The
storm was precipitated by Mr.. Lewis
(dem. Wash), who referred in the
course of his speech to the recent
vote of Mr.. Cummings (dem., N. W
in support of the war revenue bill
with its incorporated bond feature.
This brought an imprisoned and
patriotic speech in reply from Mr..
Cummings, interpreted with sarcastic
comments that intensified the inter
est. Mr.. Clark (dem., Mo- entered
the lists and proceeded to criticise
unreserVedly the democrats who had
void for the revenue bill on it's final
passage and questioned their democ-
racy. Messrs. Fitzgerald (Mass) and
McAleer (Penn), two other democrats
who voted for the bill were heard in
defense of their votes and in refuta-
tion of imputations of the Missouri
member. Mr. Bailey (TeX.). the dem
ocratic leader, spoke briefly in depre-
citation of the speeches of the demo-
cratic members as being subject TO
misconstruction indicative of more
serious differences within the party
than really existed.
