Washington, May 31.-In the senate
Mr.. Money Of Mississippi presented
the credentials of William B. Sulli-
van, appointed a senator from Missis-
sippi to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Walthall. As the oath was
administered Mr.. Lodge took the floor
to make a statement concerning his
motives in Offering the Hawaiian an
nexation resolution as an amendment
to the war revenue measure. He said
that it was a generally recognized
principle in this country that the
majority ought to rule, and that any
violation Of that principle was a
travesty on justice. A situation had
now arisen in which it was being
demonstrated that the minority was
still ruling, and in this case it was
minority originally selected by the
majority. Mr.. Lodge maintained that
if measure was proposed to con-
gress which the administration de-
sired should be enacted into a law
and which commanded the support of
a majority of both branches of con-
gress it ought, in all justice, TO be

THE AMERICAN APPETITE.
Fo. oigncrs Seem to Think That we
Eat Too Much.

Much criticism has lately been ol-
recLed against our American hotel
bills of fare oy foreign Visitors, es-
pecially those who came over last
fall and winter and went back nome
and wrote about tnelT experiences
they found too mucn on the llst-too
much sameness, too much that was
not attractive. Ihey objected to the
necessity of selecting what they
needed, and in that they have the
sympathy Of all good Americans, Ior
the average bill Of fare is test Oh
human patience; but 1t IS better 10
have too much than TOO little. Ana
it is especially not fair to gauge the
American appetite by what is on the
bill Of fare. The citizen from the
country WHO went through the items
seriatim, and afterwards complalned
that it would have been all rlsht IL
he had stopped at the watermelon anu
ice cream, was not the average Amerl-
can. The people of this country eat
much because they have much to eat.
The foreigners complain that the
habit of eating an American oredh-
fast is suicidal and unrefned, but
it so happens that the man who can
eat the American breakfast has no
need of doctors, and he is the factor
who has made this country what 1t
is. The very fact that we have been
able to evolve from the broken down
and dyspeptic and secondhand ma
terial sent to these shores from the
other side a race of superior people,
with women more beautiful than the
world has hitherto known, With men
who have done more things than any
in the worlds history and have been
able to build up nation greater than
any other on earth, is pretty good
proof that if Americans eat too much
they eat the right sort Of food

Washington, D. c., June 4,-The
war revenue measure was passed by
the senate. A score or more of at
tempts were made to amend it, but
in only three or four instances were
successful. Particular effort was
made to amend the bond provision OF
the measure, but it was futile in
every instance. The most notable
amendment was that offered by Mr..
Tillman (dem., S. c., placing a duty
of 1Oc a pound on all tea imported
The amendment was adopted 80 to 81.
It is calculated by the senate experts
that the duty, if it be finally enacted
into law will raise at least S1O,OOO,OOO
a year. An amendment offered by
Mr.. Chiffon (dem., Tex, provides
for a tax graduated according to price
upon all articles sold under a patent
open to general use and which are
not otherwise taxed by the bill.
Through an amendment offered by
Mr.. Lindsay (dem., KY the senate

a sleeping car, the company selling
the seat or berth being required to
affix the stamp. On the passage of
the measure every republican voted in
the affirmative By parties the vote
in favor of the measure was as fol-
lows: republicans, SO; democrats, 7;
populist, /; silver republican, /; total,
48. Against the bill the vote was:
democrats, 20; populists, 7, and silver
republicans, 1; total, %.

THE CARS SACRED RING.

The car Of Russia is very super
stitious and has great confidence in
relics. He wears a ring in which he
believes is embodied a piece of the
true cross. The value which the car
sets upon the ring, with it's embedded
relic, is shown by the following fact.
Some years ago, the car was travel
ing from st, Petersburg to Moscow.
He suddenly discovered that he had
forgotten the ring. The train was
stopped Immediately, and a special
messenger was sent back on an ex-
press engine for It. Nor would the
car allow the train to move until.
several hours afterward, the mes
senger returned with the ring.

by the senate, two important votes
were taken, one on the proposition to
coin the silver bullion in the treasury
and to issue silver certificates against
the coin and the other on bond

can minority of the committee on

to coin the silver bullion in the
treasury and issue silver certificates
against it. After some discussion a
vote was reached and the amendment
was agreed to, 48 to 81, several repub-
leans voting for it. Mr.. Aldrich,
(rep,, R. ID then pressed the amend
ment of the minority of the finance
committee, providing for an issue Of
$100,000,000 of certificates of indebt-
edness and $500, 900 of bonds to be
used exclusively for the payment of
the expenses of the war. After an
extended debate, the question was
brought &c an issue and by the deci-
sive vote of As to 81 the bond amend
ment for legal tender notes. The
bond proposition received the votes Of
81 republicans, democrats and 1
