Agriculture, Attaches and Employees,
Banks and Banking, Claims, Com
merce and Navigation, Corporations,

asked, ''Shall the previous question now

allowed in which to discuss the matter
of the question, five minutes for each

The adoption of this amendment was
a concession of the majority to the

Cobb, Chairman Of the San Francisco
delegation, offered an amendment Gre

Lost Princes.

Europe is looking for the lost Prin-
cess Louise Of Coburg, the daughter Of
the king of the Belgians. At one time
she was reported to be in the United
States, about to start cooking school
or go upon the stage; then it was I'M
derstood that an imperial commission
was here looking for her Later it was
announced that she was in private lu-
natic asylum in Vienna. Then, again,
she had eloped with Hungarian lieu
tenant That she has been spirited away
for state reasons appears to be the opin-
ion in Berlin. Close upon this mystery
comes another, what has become Of
Prince Ludwig Of Lowenstein, husband
of Lady Anne Saville, daughter Of the
Countess of Marlborough? This question
agitates London, and the prince is being
advertised for in the English papers. It
has not occurred to anybody that the
prince may have put on a blue shirt and
just run away from his own impor-
lance for awhile, and may be recuper-
ating his manhood and his appetite as
a cowboy in Texas or waiter at Del

Some interesting facts and compare
sons have been brought out by the new
Italian census. According to the Off
cial count, the city of Rome now has a
population Of 100000. This is little
more than the population of St. Louis
at the last census It presents, how
ever, a curious commentary on the
vicissitudes of the papal capital At the
end of the great republic that city was
estimated to have a population Of over
1000, 900, and some Of the old historians
make it 4, 600, 200. But after the return
of the popes in 1877 it fell to 40. 900.
Some Of the ancient accounts of Rome
are, however, to be taken with much
allowance, as we take Josephus' ac-
counts of Jerusalem. These old chron-
lclers, not excepting Herodctus, were
amazingly loose with their figures.

CHICAGO, March %. The government
court of inquiry examined two wit

tion-Dr. Nicholas Sem and .Lieuten-
ant Colonel A.. W. Corliss.' DIR. Sem.
who served in Cuba and Porto Rico,
testified that the troops in Cuba lived
largely on canned roast beef and bacon.
He had every reason to believe that the
canned beef was not roasted but boiled.
1t was tasteless and certainly appeared
to lack nutritious qualities, as was ap.
parent from the condition of the men
who returned from Cuba to Montauk-
men who had never been i'll but were
greatly emaciated. He thought one of
the meat supplies of the future for the
army should be dried beef. Men could
be fed once Or twice week on canned
roast beef without ill effect on their
health, but as a daily ration for any
length of time he would not consider il
safe or advisable ration. Lieutenant
Colonel Corliss, the other witness ex.
amined, told Of the soldiers dislike OF
the canned beef while in Cuba.

Whereas, The terrible catastrophe
in, the shape Of the Windsor hotel fire.
with the accompanying loss of life and
millions of property, has wildly called
attention to the public necessity for the
greater protection of the hotel living
people; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the legislature is
hereby respectfully requested to pass,
and the governor sign, q bill which will
give the commissioner Of buildings in
the city of New York full power and
authority to investigate, and, if neces-
sary, demolish. all hotel buildings in
said city not absolutely freproof.''
Wants Them Fireproof.
Commissioner Brady of the depart.
ment of public buildings said he be-
lieved absolutely in freproof buildings.
Buildings should be so constructed that
when a fire broke out on the second or
third floors the floors above could be
shut off from the fire and be practically
fireproof SO flames could not reach them.
This, he said, should not only be
adopted, but other things should also
be considered. Alarms should be placed
in each room. Watchmen should pa
troll the Railways at all hours and the
hotels should be provided with the most
improved appliances for fighting fire.
He believed that power should be
vested in some department which
should see to it. that these appliances
were in order and to have men for this
purpose alone.
