Interior Department.

Interior Department.
Washington. Feb. 21-For three
hours to-day the senate had under dis
cussion the bill providing for the tax
ing of the 18th and subsequent CEN
suses. Ii was SO amended as to place
the census bureau under the secretary
of the interior, but the extended dlscus-
sion that ensued disclosed so Vide a
divergence of views on the part OF the
senators as to various features OF the
measure that no further action was
taken.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Allen of
Nebraska directing the committee on
naval affairs to make an inNestlgatloh
of the disaster to the battleshlp Maine
was adopted without debate.
The galleries were filed to-day when
the senate convened, the crowd of spec
tators doubtless being attracted by the
probability of further debate upon Gu
han affairs or matters connected with
the catastrophe To the battleshlp
Maine.
Hoar introduced joint resolution
directing the transfer of valuable MS
toricaI documents from the several de-
partments to the national library.

luton:
"Resolved. That the committee on
naval affairs be and is hereby directed
to make a thorough inquiry into the
destruction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor on the 10Th INST, anu
report to the senate.
\ The resolution was passed without
word of debate.
AS no other business was pressing,
the senate, at the suggestion OF Mr..
Hale of Maine, began to consider the
unobieeted bills on the calendar.
Among those passed were the follow

MONTANA'S GOOD CREDIT.
Warrants on the State Bring One Per
Cent Premium.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, Feb. 21.-That Montana war
rants are in good demand was demtn-
strated to-day by the rivalry shown by
money lenders to get hold of about
1000 worth. Soon after the board of
examiners had allowed bill Of Conley
q McTague for about 5000, and Mitch
ell & Mussgbrod bill for about $11 600,
and Auditor Poindexter had issued the
necessary warrants, the owners of the
warrants received two or three offers
for them at a premium. One man Of
fered a premium of one-half of one per
cent. for the whole amount. Another
raised the bid to three quarters of one
per cent The original bidder came back
with an offer of one per cent. fiat, and
got the warrants. The warrants viii
probably be redeemed about August,
and as they draw interest at six per
cent, the buyer, although he paid $160
for the privilege of holding them until
due will realize nearly four per cent. on
his investment.

A Funny little Cub Bear.

The funniest model in my experience
xas cub bear; and during his visit to
the studio we laughed more than we
worked. While his antics were very
amusing, it was the indescribably funny
expression he always wore which kept
the studio in such state of hilarity.
"Unbcknown" to us one day he got
out; and, walking along on his hind
legs in ridiculous shuttle, cffectually
blockaded the hallway, until we came
to the rescue of the frightened people.
1t was not the only time he fell into
trouble. When we first came into pos
session of little Bruin we sent the studio
boy with large basket to bring the
treasure uptown. The boy was eau
toned to be very careful Of his charge
lin fact, he was cautioned too much.
On the elevated train that boy fairly
ached to get look at the bear, and
so opened the lid the tiniest bit, and
peeped i'm. Instantly the animal
thrust his whole head out, to the great
establishment of the lady passengers,
among whom he created small panic.
II is needless to say that both bear and
boy were put OF at the first stopping

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette. Delaware. Ohio.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation 1t surely creates for
women means of outdoor exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime, its
effect is likely to be dangerous.

That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
