ton bill. Mr.. De Almond, a Missouri
democrat, precipitated the issue by offer
ing the resolution as an amendment but
point of order against il was sustained.
Mr.. De Almond appealed. He urged the
republicans who had professed friendship
for the struggling Cubans to override the
decision of the chair as the only chance
of securing action on the proposition. Mr.
Bailey, the leader of the minority, and
other democrats joined in the appeal The
excitement became intense, but the appeal
of Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader of the
majority, as well as other republican lead
ers, to their associates not to Join in the
program, succeeded. Mr.. Colson, repub-
lican of Kentucky, warned his side that
unless he was soon given an opportunity
to vote his sentiments on the Cuban ques-
ton, he would cooperate in any revolu-
tionary method to secure action. The re-
publican tactics kept to the front the
point that the minority were seeking to
override the rules of the house and they
got every republican vote, sustaining the
chair by the vote of l52 to IA A demo
crat, Mr.. Fleming of Georgia, voted with
them on the ground that he could not vio-
late his oath by voting against unfolding
the rules.
The senate committee on finance has
voted to report Teller's resolution declar
ing for the payment of national bonds in
silver dollars as well as gold. The vote
stood to 5. The resolution is practically
the same as the Stanley Matthews reso-
luton adopted some years ago.

Secretary of War Writes to the
Canadian Minister of the Interior
The Relief Expedition.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn of the war department has
written to Mr.. Clifford Sifton, Canadian
minister of the interior, in regard to the
klondike relief movement, as follows:
The war department has ordered its
pack animals to Vancouver and expects
to have the provisions at Skaguay some
time during the present month. The ex-
petition will probably begin to pack the
provisions over the mountains and max
ing starting place on the other side If
the steam sleds are a success they will
be used If not before we start out with
any considerable amount of provisions we
shall wait for the reindeer which are
to be shipped about the Goth.
Secretary Alger thinks if we get pro-
visions along down to meet people com
ing out as you suggest, or get to Daw-
son with them by the first of April it
may be in time to prevent suffering. There
is no doubt from information obtained
through your people and ours that there
are provisions enough in that vicinity to
last until April l. The pinch is going to
be from that time until navigation opens,
probably the last of June. We are doing
all we can to hasten the relief forward"
Expedition Starts February 1.
Portland, Ore, Jan. 20.-It is now pro-
posed to start the government Yukon re-
lief expedition from here on the steamer
George w. Elder. which sails for Skaguay

er barracks today engaged transportation
on the Elder for SO men, 200 tons of sup
plies and 80 mules. The remainder of the
mules will not be shipped until week
later as the Elders space had all been
engaged.
1t was the original intention to send the
expedition north on the steamer Oregon,
sailing next Sunday but owing to the
inability of the Snow and Ice Transporta-
ton Company to get its train to Alaska
i'll time General Merriam decided to defer
sending the men and supplies for the ex-
petition until February !.

VIII Not Discuss Seals.

London, JAN 20-Great Britain has
again declined to reopen the sealing ques-
ton. 1t seems her previous refusal gave
as its reason that, while negotiations
were pending between the United States
and Canada, Great Britain could not re-
open the matter. To this the United
States replied that no negotiations were
pending and renewed the request; but the
government does not see its way to re-
open the question

If few years ago music had been
declared to be as necessary in educa-
ton as mathematics or physics, the
statement would have been received
with amaZement, if not dersion, says
the Philadelphia Times. The early aim
of common school education was the
making of practical men and women.
and by practical was meant Il prep
aration for the ordinary bread winning
affairs of life. Not that the moral side
of education was ignored, but it was
believed that the three RS and the
hard and fast sciences, together with
a general Endorsement of religion and
good ethics. were sufficient factors in
character building and all that the
schools should supply. Music, litera-
ture and drawing, if they found any
place in the curriculum, were merely
incidents that we're not sufficiently
practical to be requisites, nor was their
more subtle and potent influence on the
character and the higher development
of the mind appreciated or perceived.
Ornamental they might be, but they
were not believed to be useful. Only
visionary sentimentality considered
these arts as necessary to public edu-
cation. To-day art, in a broad sense,
occupies far higher place in the re.
gard of every educator of note and of
every man who is alive to the interests
of well-balanced and symmetrical edu-
cation. In fact. the art influence in ed
ucatiOn is coming to be adequately APP
preclated and art is no longer consid-
cred an incident in life, but rather the
reality itself. We are not attempting
to detract from the nobility of labor

tivation of the arts. we must recognize.
uphold and admire, but that education
which tells us we are not altogether
commercial machines; that to love
something for its innate beauty and
not for It's pecuniary worth is wise and
good; that by loving harmony of sound

Slang in itself may be harmless, but
1t is the tendency, the loose and care
less tendency, which is betrayed in the
use of such language which is the
alarming feature of it. Good morals
and good language go together gener-
ally. The gOod. man, whether he may
be rough and ignorant or polished and
wise, has the instincts of good man
ners. A woman who uses slang habit
ually may be set down as a woman
who is not careful of her conduct or
will sooner or later cease to be such.

The National Prison Congress in SEES
sion recently. at Austin, Texas, voted
to hold the next annual meeting in In
dianapolis The sessions of this body
of refOrmers are always marked by
papers suggestive of prison reform or
of the methods and processes of socie-
ty which lead so many criminals to
prison. Perhaps the most significant
paper before the latest congress was
on criminal reform which advocated a
good many radical measures, in view
of what it declared to be the rapid in
crease of crime in the different States
Among other things the report urged
the doing away with all mere techni-
calities and more stringent punishment
of criminals AS means to the latter
end it recommended the adjustment
of juries, thus making convictions
more summary, trials quicker, depriv-
ing defendants of the privilege of APP
peal" etc. 1t was also suggested and
recommended that rewards be offered
for the apprehension and conviction of
criminals, that the pardoning power of
Governors of States should be limited,
and that the code of ethics governing
attorneys should be revised. The pro-
hibiting of intoxicants, restricting i'm
migration, developing healthier mater
nifty, better rural education, colonizing
criminals and abolishing definite sen
fences were some of the other sugges-
tons urged, though some of these were
admitted to be impracticable.
