ators. 1t is quite within the range of
possibility that there may be more dull
places than the Senate chamber of the
United States as that chamber is under
ordinary circumstances. but this dizziness
never seems to pail on the gallery visit
ors who take an interest in their Sena-
tors. They watch every movement OF
and if they can summon the nerve to send
in their cards to the toga wearers, and to
be shown points of interest around the
Capitol by one or other of the exalted
men, joy that is almost pathetic irradi-
ates them.
It is a popularity of the ladies in the
galleries that they are quite unable to
give any gentleman on the floor credit for
greatness who does not look CREATOR
distinction who does not look distinguish
ed. Now, it is a singular fact, but one
none the less capable of proof and DEM
onstration, that a majority of the most
eminent men who have graced the two
floors of Congress during the past de-
cade or so have at the same time been
the most insignificant looking. The la
dies i'll the galleries do not appear to ap-
prehend that such a thing can be.
The mems galleries are chiefly interest
ing for the number of men, black and
white, they contain, who appear to have
nothing but time. The aforementioned
REGULARS inhabit the mems galleries IN
force, particularly in the lower house.

WHEAT CARRIED BY WIND.
Blown from Morocco Across the Medi
terranean to Spain.

Blown from Morocco Across the Medi-
terranean to Spain.
Some years ago the villagers in a
town near the southern coast Of Spain
were surprised by a sudden shower of
white wheat which seemed to come
from the heavens as rain does. There
were so many witnesses to tell of the
strange occurrence that there could be
no doubt of the accuracy of the story.
Some months elapsed before the re-
markable phenomenon was explained.
1t was learned at last that some farm
ers near the northern coast Of Moroc-
co had been thrashing wheat with fails
when suddenly tornado swept over
the ground and carried all the wheat
and chaff on the thrashing-cloth into
the air. The cloth was swept clean,
though the Windstorm was not suf-
ficiently violent to do any damage to
the workmen, who fell to the ground
and saw to their dismay when the
storm had passed that the result of
their labor had disappeared in the air.
There seemed to be no doubt that the
fall of wheat in Spain was the result
Of the shabby trick the tornado played
the Moroccan farmers, the grain hav-
ing been waited clear across the
Mediterranean before it was dropped
to the earth.
A somewhat similar phenomenon has
recently been observed further east of
the Mediterranean region. A steamer
was on her way along the North At
rican coast from Asia to England and
had entered the Galita channel be-
tween the island of that name and the
coast of Tunis when fine dust began
to darken the air and Immediately
thereafter fell upon the vessels deck.
Quantities of the dust were collected
alysis in Europe. About third of the
dust consisted Of rock particles con-
tanning calcium, magnesium AID iron,
proving, what the prevailing wind had
already indicated, that the dust had
been carried high into the air from the
Sahara desert, passing over the Whole
Of Tunis and finally dropping in the
Mediterranean.
Another curious occurrence of the
same sort occurred in Hungary in 1896,
when. there was a fall of dust which
analysis proved to be identical with
the sediment of the Nile. The dust was
declared to have been brought on the
wings of the wind all the way from
Egypt. These incidents show how the
atmosphere helps to change the aspect
of the earth's surface by removing
small particles of matter from one re-
gion and depositing them In another

They are about equally divided between
blacks and whites, and prosperity does
not seem to be lowering over any of
them. The fact is, the regulars are a
pretty seedy lot. But this is free ma
ton, and they have the right to keep
warm in the galleries Of Congress if they
so elect They nod and doze, and the
proceedings on the floor seem to be to the
last degree uninteresting to them.
The press galleries are generally SO de-
serted as to induce visitors to wonder
how on earth the newspaper men con-
trive to get the news, not hearing what
is going on. The gallery visitors cannot
know, in this wondering, that what trans
pires on the floors isn't the heavy end of
Congressman by the hugest of possible
jugfuls In general, the galleries of Con-
gress are about as interesting as the
floors thereof.

Philadelphia Chosen as Place of Hold
irg Republican Convention.
The Republican national convention
will meet in Philadelphia on June 10,
1900. This was decided in the national
committee meeting at Washington Fri
day afternoon The final vote stood 20
for Philadelphia to "A for Chicago, with
Ohio and Colorado absent. Chicago had
the votes of the Western States and
four from New England. Philadelphia
had the votes of the Southern States,
the territories and two from New Eng
land.
The arguments in favor of Phlladel-
phia were sentiment, cold cash and South
ern delegates The President allowed it
to be understood that he would not OBJ
iect to being renominated in the only city
where, since the civil war, Republican
President was renominated and elected.
Grant was renominated in Philadelphia
in 1872. There were also the sentiment
al argument that Philadelphia was the
cradle of liberty, the place where the
constitution was written, and the city
where the flag had it's origin. More i'm
Dortant than this sentimental argument
was the certified check for 100000 Of
fered to the committee by Philadelphia.

BRITISH COMMANDER SUFFERS
CRUSHING DEFEAT.
Eleven Guns Lost and Many Men Killed

News of another crushing defeat to the

the nation had been looking to redeem

He moved against the Beers Friday
morning, in pursuance of his purpose of
raising the siege of Ladysmith from his
camp near Chieveley, his plan being to
force the passage of the TUgela simulta-

with the grievance written on their faces
that they haven't got their moneys
worth. The day has passed when every
representative in Congress was his own
Patrick Henry.
When a gentleman on the floor who is
known to be an ornate phraseologist and
a man of "uncertain''-that is to say, GER
tainly fery-temper rises in his seat and
catches the Speakers eye, the folks in
the gallery lean forward, their counte-
nances take on interested expressions,
and they seem to be saying to themselves,
"Ah, now we're going to have something
worth while!' When the gentleman whit
the fiery reputation launches into mild,
expostulating, almost pleading statement
as to how his district has been overlook
ed in the formulation of the river and
harbor bill the people in the gallery settle
back in their seats, with signs OF dlsap-
pointment that seem to say in so many
words. care we forever to be buncoed
in this way?'
A pair of gentlemen, who are known
to be personal as we'll as political antag-
onsts, take the floor at the same instant,
both demanding recognition.
''Ha. here's a clash, right now!' the
gallery visitors whisper to each other,
with nudges; and when one of the gen
tlemen, with a Chesterheldian gesture,
yields to the other, the spectators in the
gallery look real hurt about it.
Mostly Visitors to Town.
A very small percentage of the visitors
in the galleries of Congress are Washing
tonians Congress is an old story to the
people of the capital. 1t is a tale often
repeated There is nothing awe-inspiring
about days doings at the Capitol to a
man who has lived within sight of the
dome of the Capital all, or nearly all, of
his life. Men and women who come to
Washington to live pay one or two visits
to the galleries of Congress when first
they arrive here, and let it go at that.
1t is the strangers, the casual visitors in
the city, who flock to the galleries of
Congress, and to many of these such vis-
it's are very great events, indeed, to be
told about again and again when they
get back to their homes. Not a few Of
!. the strangers in the galleries look as if
they feel themselves to be participating
in proceedings of a very solemn and up
lifting character: and that they regard
the gentlemen below them on the floor
as the very cream of the land is perfect

which they study the great men.

strong for Hart, who delivered the first
attack on the western drift. He was
driven back, with great loss, although his
men behaved with the utmost bravery.
Then came Hildyards turn, and his
movement was begun propitiously, when
the crushing disaster of the day occur
red. The artillery under Col. Long, which
had been withdrawn from its support of
Hart to aid in Hildyad's attempt to
cross the eastern drift, approached too
close to the river, and was suddenly con-
fronted by terrible rifle fire from
large force of the enemy, which had been
concealed by the river banks. 1t appears
to have been veritable ambuscade, and
the whole of the British artillery was in
a few moments put out of action, all its
horses being killed. Gallant efforts were
made to save the guns but all were lost
but two.
Whole Army Retreats.
Hildyard's movement was, Of course,
out of the question without the support
of the artillery, and he was ordered to
withdraw, and the whole force retired to
the camp at Chieveley. The news OF this
disastrous reverse of Gen. Buffers entire
army has filled the cup of British bit
terness to overlooking. The attack which
Englishmen were impatiently awaiting,
even demanding, for the relief of Lady
smith, was delivered Friday morning. 1t
not only failed completely, but the Brit
ish army was driven back to it's original
position at Chieveley, after heavy slaugh-
ter and the loss Of a large portion OF It's
artillery The immediate consequences
of Gen. Buffers reverse are very dis
heartening to the British. There is no
need to say that the news startled and
aroused England as nothing has done IN
recent times. From now on the country
will go to war as if the life of the empire
depended on the issue, as it truly does.
Pretoria has now become as vital to the
preservation of the British empire as the
possession of Bombay, Melbourne or
London itself The struggle in South At
RIGA will now be treated as great war,
which it is, and not as an expedition.
England will now mobilize the militia and
colonial troops and also call for volun-
teers. if necessary. She will pour sol
diers and guns into South Africa with
out number But the first thing she will
do is to call halt. There will be no
further attempt to invade the Boer re-
publics until a great army is massed IN
Africa, and more than month must
elapse before this can be done.
