WHEN STRIKES ABOUND.

The discussion became very animated
when the topic of prosperity was reached.
Mr.. Richards Dem, TENN precipitated
it. and Messrs. Grosvenor (Rep., Ohio,
Cochran Dem. MOI, Hopkins (Rep., I'D,
Mahany Rep., n. " and Fitzgerald
Dem, Mass) took part. The latter
again brought up the New England cot
ton strikes, which have played considera-
bic part in the debate on previous days.
Mr.. Simpkins (Rep., Mass) in the course
of his reply drew a round of applause
from the Democratic side that he frankly
confessed that, in his opinion there were
likely 70 be more strikes under protect
i've than under a free trade system. The
applause ceased. however, and arose on
the other side when he added that this
was because under a free trade system
men would have no work, and when they
did it would be for what they could get.
For some time the debate was confined
10 the business situation in Massachusetts,
Nessrs. Knox. Mccall and other Republi-
cans of that state contesting the position
advanced by Mr.. Fitzgerald that prosper
ity had not come to the commonwealth
under the Dingley law.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., Iowa. created some
enthusiasm on the Republican side when
he read the Dun trade review as an an
swer to the Democratic critics Of the
effects Of the Dingley law. Members OF
the house. he said. no matter what their
politics. have no right, in attempting to
score a little cheap political capital. 10

their country.
Mr. Allen Dem, Miss) enliveded the
proceedings with one Of his witty
speeches. He said he was tired Of having
Mr.. Dingiey get Up every day and ex-
u,ain why his bill had not met the ex-
nectatio1s Of the country. It was very
absurd. he said. but II was with the same

Jerry Simpson Characterizes
MckinIey's Financial Views.

washington. Jan 2a.-There seems to
be no prospect of an abatement OF the po-
itical debate which has been in progress
in the house during the consideration of
the appropriation bills. Again today al
most the entire session was consumed
in the discussion of political topics The
controverted question as to whether pros
perity had arrived attracted the most at
tention and interest and testimony pro
and con was offered throughout today.
At times considerable acrimony was dis
played. but as a rule the debate was
good natured, both sides seeming to rec
ognize that it was merely a struggle 10
score political advantages.
washington. Jan. 29.-At the opening Of
the session of the house bill to permit
the building OF a dam across the Missis-
sippi river at Coon Rapids, at the north
ern limits of the city of Minneapolis, was
passed.
Immediately afterward the clerk of the
senate appeared and transmitted the Tel
Ter resolution, which passed the senate
last night. The announcement was greet
ed with a terrific outburst Of applause
from the Democratic side of the house.
No motion was made at the time and
the resolution remained on the table.
The fertilization appropriation bill was
referred, and then, on motion OF Mr..
Grout (Rep., VT, the house went into
committee of the whole and resumed con-
sideration Of the District of Columbia APP
preparation bill.
The general debate was not confined to
the subjects dealt with by the bill 1t
covered a wide range. The Teller resolu-
ton, the Cuban question, the Hawaiian
annexation, the tariff and other political
topics were discussed.
At the conclusion of general debate the
bill was taken up for amendment I'M
der the five-minute rule.
Mr. King Dem, Utah) raised laugh
by Offering an amendment to appropriate
$50. 600 for the Improvement of the White
House ''to make it a suitable abode for
Hon. Mark A Hanna" The amendment
was ruled out of order on a point OF

In view of tho general conviction that the
number of thoroughly trained military and
naval officers annually turned out from West
Point and Annapolis must be materially in
creased. II we are to have the means of creating
swiftly forces competent to defend tho country
against q arst-rate maritime power. 1t Is well
worth while to hear what q thoroughly expert
enced man like Admiral Franklin has to say
concerning tho mode Of appointment to those
aoademies. Ho says that tho question of the
best method of appointing young mon to
West Point and to the Naval Academy was
informally discussed ono day by members
Of the Board Of Visitors. Tho specific
topic of inquiry was whether It would
be better to appoint boys from public
schools who had succeeded best in competitive
examination or whether better results would
not be on the whole obtained by adhering to the
custom OF leaving tho appointment TO the judg-
ment Of the members of Congress of the district
from which the cadet was TO DO named. my
recollection of tho result Of this discussion is
that tho latter Hystem was regarded as much
tho better of tho two. 1t was argued that,
because q boy oxcelled in book learning, 1T
by no means followed that no possessed
the qualities necessary to mako q good
military or naval officer. as nero schol-
Rrship would not meet tho requirements

In tho chapter devoted to his first cruise the
author tells us that the American man-of-war
In those days differed but slightly from the
British wRrshipB belonging to the time about
which Marryat wrote. Tho ~ioRGing of mid
Ohipmen, indeed, was not permitted; only one
instance of 1t came to the authors knowl-
edge. In most other respects. however, our
ships were identical. as regards their internal
economy, with those on board of which Midship-
man Easy and Peter Simple saw service. Mast
heading was still resorted to, and our author
recalls how he was once kept aloft 80 long that
he went quietly to sleep in the bunt OF the fore
sail. In the squadron In which he first saw SER
vice this method of enforcing discipline was
brought to an end through tho preferment
against some lieutenant or charges FOR illegal
punishment of which mastheAding was one of
Ehe specifications. In various other ways the
midshipmen were a good deal "bully.raGged."
Our author docs not remember many instances
when they were absolutely cursed by their
superior officers. but tho general tone and style
Of the latter were much the same as Marryat
described. In truth the customs of an American
man-of-war had como down by natural inheri-
GAnce from those in force on board the ships OF
the mother country. For example: "wo piped

In that part of his book which 10 devoted to the
mound builders. Prof. Thomas has no difficulty
in demonstrating that, as wo have said. the
authors OF these ancient works were none other
than the Indians inhshiting the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Valleys at their discovery. and :heir i'm
mediate ancestors. Neither docs he find II hard
to convince us that the mound-buildIng age did
not end until post-European times- That its boz
ginning did not reach back into hoary antiquity
seems 10 he legitimately inferred from several
facts. The cave explorations which have beeA
carefully carried on by Mr.. Mercer have fur
nished no indications of a paleolithic people. or
OF any other race than the Indians. They hare
brougbk tolight few sigma OF successive waves OF
population. and no sign of qualifications In cul-
ture and alterations Of construction and do
srruCtiOn. If mound building hRd been car
ried on for thousands of years, 1t may % pro-
nOuDcei certain that some OF the localities
favored by the prehistoric inhabitants would
show various gradations OF approach to civiliZas
tiOn in the ancient works. or. at least, IN the rel
les and remains deposited therein. Moreover,
the depth of the accumulation would he much
greater than II Is found 10 be. As a matter of
fact, in all the mounds are found evidences of
tho same culture, of like customs and beliefs,
and OF tho Same racial traits, There are no owl.
deHCes OF greater changes than would results
from tho outgoing OF one tribe and the incoming

Europeans appeared upon the scene. II seems TO
bo n fair deduction from all the data forthcom-
ing that o thousand years preceding that date
would suffice for the beginning and development
