IN THE HOUSE

Washington, March 22.--The naval ap-
preparation bill was reported to the House
today, but as it had not been printed the
contested election case OF Mr.. Thorpe VS..
Eupes from the fourth Virginia district
was taken up and debated until four
O'Clock, when the House, owing to the
illness of Mr. Rhea OF Kentucky. who
was to speak this afternoon, adjourned
until tomorrow.
The case will be disposed Of tomorrow.
The prevailing impression is that Mr..
Eppes, thu sitting member will be I'M
seated as upon the decision in this case
will largely depend the decision in the
two other Virginia cases In which practi-
cally the same questions are involved. y
Mr.. Eppes had S62l plurality on the face
of the returns. Extensive frauds were
charged and the majority ofsthe commit
tee found that Mr. Thorpe. should have
received 5O7 plurality and lpon their
finding recommended that he be seated.
At 4.15 the House adjourned.

QUIET IN CONGRESS.
ONLY Routine Matters Considered by Eth
er House Yesterday.

Washington, March 22--At the opening
of the Senate session today the chaplain,
in his invocation gave thanks for the
Christian charity of the American people
of all faiths, which was being extended
to the starving people of Cuba. The
chaplain prayed thet this relief work
might be continued.
Mr.. GalIinger of New Hampshire who
recently returned from trip to Cuba,
announced that yielding to the kind
solicitations of many Senators, he would,
tomorrow, Immediately after the morn
ing business had been transacted, briefly
address the Senate upon his observations
in Cuba, unless, meantime, something
should occur to prevent 1t.
Mr.. Foraker Of Ohio presented the
credentials of his colleague, MIR. llama,
for the term as United States Senator
covering six years from March 4, 1899.
The credentials were read and ordered
fled.
Mr. Hoar OF Massachusetts of the
Judiciary committee, reported measure
for the protection of song birds. 1t was
placed on the calendar.
Among the bills passed were the follow.
ing: 10 prevent the appointment OF
cadets to the naval or military academy
of the United States from states. terri
tories or districts in which suoh cadets do
not reside; to raise the age of protection
for girls in the District Of Columbia and
in the territories to eighteen years.
Mr.. Carter of Montana, of the commit
tee on territories then called up the meas
ure reported by him making further pro-
vision for civil government for Alaska
and addressed the Senate at length upon
it.
Questioning Mr.. Carter as to the reason
for providing for three United States
Judges and three district attorneys, Mt.
Vest of Missouri criticized what he
termed the multiplication OF officials. He
lawyer could, as district attorney tran
sact all of the business likely to arise
there in one month o. every year.
In reply, Mr.. Carter maintained that on
account of the enormous distances be-
tween prominent places in Alaska and
the fact that transportation which was al
most entirely by water, WAS impossible
during the greater part of the year on ao.
count of Ice, the necessity of courts pro-
viding for the officials by the bill was
evident.
The hour of two O'Clock having arrived,
Mr.. Carter was interrupted by the Vice
President, who laid the unfinished bust
ness-the national quarantine b1ll-before
the Senate.
Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana presented an
extended legal argument in favor of the
bill.
Mr.. Bacon OF Georgia interrupted Mr..
Caffery to inquire whether he would OBJ
iect to the following amendments to the
bending bill: 'Nothing in this act shall
be construed to interfere with the right
of any state or municipality to protect its
citizens from infectious, contagious or
epidemic diseases by suoh rules and regu-
Iations as the authorities of Eaid state or
municipality may deem necessary
Mr.. Caffery said he saw no objection to
the ter ms of the amendment as he under
47cd it.

Rutlandshire. l confess to having con-
ceiyed an instructive dislike to this man
from the very first moment we had been
introduced by q mutual friend in the

fiat broad nose gave his face an ex-

Nevertheless he walked jauntily, spoke
| loudly in bluff good -natured tones, gave
excellent dinners, and, strangely enough,
was voted a good fellow wherever he
went. Yet there was an ostentatlousneSs
about his actions that was s1ckening; his
arrogant self-assertive manner was, to
me. extremely distasteful. The discovery
that he was endeavoring to supplant me

handsome young woman In Brooklyn but
two weeks before he absconded. He had
been arranging for the marriage while
continuing his pecu lstions
Donaldson was a clerk in his father {
employ in the wood engraving business
in Maiden Lane. He became ambitious
and started an Office on Broadway. He
was trusted by every one with whom he
had dealings and he received large con-
signments of diamonds on memoranda
which he sold on commission. In the be-
ginning of 1886 he secured all The
diamonds he could from many firms
without exciting suspicion and then
pawned the entire lot.
