A returned missionary, giving some
account OF his experiences in jamaica,
says that lie was once called upon to
act as arbitrator between n man and
his wife who had had violent quarrel.
The couple came to the misslonary's S
house a short time before the hour
appointed for prayer meeting to be
held in the chapel in the missionary's
dooryard.
The man and his wife both began TO
talk ut the same time, their tongues
going fast and furious and their
tempers rising until they finally came
to blows and fought until the mis-
slonary was forced to use all his
strength in separating them.
lie succeeded in calming them and
induced them to remain to prayer
meeting. After n hymn had been sung
the missionary requested each person
present to give quotation from the
Scriptures. whereupon the man who
had the difficulty with his wife got
up and said briefly:
IL have fought good fight"
The missionary had hardly recovered
from the shock Of this when on old

Hays Speech on Army Bill

The democratic position on the re.
organization of the army was ably
maintained on the floor of the Hou Sc
thursday. Of those taking part in the
discussion none showed more thought.
study and research than Mr.. Hsy,
the author of the substitute. known
as the Hay bill. His remarks were
cogent and convincing and delivered
with dellberation and power, showing
that ne had thoroughly digested and
mast-red the subject. His bill re-
fleets the general, sentiment of the
democratic party, and in his speech
he dlssipated the idea of the necessi
ty of large standing army either
now or in the future.
Mr.. Hay, during his speech, was
Piled with questions from members
on both sides of the cham Der, and
responses showed that readiness
which is the result of hard work and
diligent committee service.
Mr.. Hay claimed the situation 10
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
did not require so large an army as
the War Department officials claim
ed, and that it was to their interest
to have large standing army, and
that they therefore painted the sltua-
ton In its darkest colors.
He contended that the 100000
men called for by the Hull bill was
too large an army for our country on
a peace footing and insignificant in
time of war; In support of this he
cited the enormous trained arm les of
European countries.
Speaking of the cost, Mr.. Hay said
the Hull bill would cost over $780,
100000 per annum, which, added to
the present pension and military ex.
penditure, would bring the total up
to about $3O0,OOO,OOO, and would
without doubt bring the governments
running expenses up to fully $780,
100000 year.
Mr.. Hay thought standing army
of 10000 men, with $4,000 volun.
teers for temporary duty until the
present issues are settled in our for
eign territory, would be ample.

says Scott was not legally elected,

tend that the votes Of the two "war
Senators" which were cast for Mr..
Scott, were illegal; and besides the
ballot in joint assembly was taken in
the absence of any and all represen-

from the Fourth senatorial district:
