who was shot to flinders by four deputy
maTshals In 1855, was dealing his own
flyer faro game in Durango, Col, in 1851
Gorham was an ugly savage chap, with
pretty nearly as much Indian in him as

plenty of men in, different parts Of the

peopled by cutters, either at that time

NO FROGS LEGS.
Russians Regard Them With HOr-
rOr. and Don't Care for Oysters.

Great quantities OF crabs and Holsters
are annually canned in Russia, yet Oys-
tiers are in little favor, and frogs legs
are regarded with horror. A woman WIG
sold large quantities of crabs upon being
asked for some frogs legs replied that
she would no. touch one of the horrid
things for a ruble"
Wherever there is water in Russia the
frogs abound in such quantities that one
is reminded of the noblemen of other days
who used to send their slaves out to
beat the marshes, so that they could
sleep
Russians never eat rabbits, as they say
they nest with rats, nor will they touch
snails or turtles, which are found in great
quantities all over the country. Only the
arlstocrats eat kidneys. and then only
those of the sheep or lamb Goose flesh
is little esteemed, though the fat is used
for culinary purposes.

last evening in conference with the execu-
tive committee OF the Greater America Ex-
position at the Paxton hotel, where the con-
gressional situation, as 1t relates to the

tire situation had been gone over with the
result that they were confident Of favorable
results Senator Allen Is said to have as
sured the exposition promoters that there will
be comparatively little difiiculty in securing
favorable action on the bill in the senate.
He suggested a number OF things that should
be done In order to meet the existing emef-
gency in the house and these will be acted
on at once.
The senator himself said that he Is not
in a position to give the public any informs-
ton. Il have been away from Washing

FAILS TO ACT on THE RESOLUTION.
Philippine Policy Engages Time and
OrRtOry of senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-During almost
the entire morning hour today the senate
had under scussion the policy Of this coun-
try to be pun sued in the Philippine islands
Mr.. Berry of Arkansas In n speech upon the
resolution offered " Mr.. Vest discussed the
policy of expansion without a reference to
the constitutional point involved in the Vest
resolution. He spoke from notes, stating
his objections to the pending treaty of peace.
He declared that he would never vote to
place upon any people policy against which
Lee fought and against which jackson gave
up his life.
An attempt by Mr.. Bacon of Georgia to
secure a vote upon his resolution, which, in
brief, declares that the United States gov
eminent will not make war on a people
seeking for their freedom, precipitated
lively debate which was participated in by
Mr.. Platt Of Connecticut and Mr. Teller of
Colorado. Mr.. Bacon declared he would not
vote for the treaty unless some such declara-
tion were adopted by congress To this Mr..
Platt took exception and delivered speech
in which he carefully analyzed the situation
which confronts this country in the Philip
pines. No action on the resolutions was
taken.
A bill was passed at the opening Of the
session granting extra pay to the officers and
two months extra pay to those who served
beyond the limits of the United States and
one months pay to those who served within
the United States. The provisions of the
bill are to apply to all such temporary force
whether dicharged yet or not

SENATE'S EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Senator's Gray and Money Speak on
Peace Treaty.

Senators Gray and Money Speak on
Peace Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Senators GRAY
and Money occupied the entire executive
session of the senate today in speeches on
the peace treaty, Senator Gray favoring
ratification and Senator Money opposing it..
Senator Gray was the third Of the Paris
commissioners to speak and while he gave
some attention to the published matter
bearing on the treaty, he did not 60 into
this in such detail as did Senators Frye and
Davis. He admitted that in the beginning
OF the negotiations he had opposed the
acquisition Of the Philippine archipelago and
he had freely and frankly advised the presi-
dent and his fellow commissioners Of his
belief that 1t would be unwise to attempt
to shape its destiny. He had used his best
endeavors to bring them to accept his
views. but had utterly failed. He had at
last reached the conclusion that he would
either have to join with the majority or
see the treaty fail and the war continue. In
the meantime he had been largely won over
by the arguments of his colleagues and by
the logic OF the situation and he had at last
concluded to sign the convention. Having
taken his position he was here now to de-
bend the treaty as wise conclusion of
most delicate diplomatic undertaking.
Senator Gray did not advocate permanent
occupancy OF the eastern islands. but said
that the duration Of our exercise OF sover-
eighty there should be settled in the future
and not at present.
Senator Money attacked the acquisition Of
the islands as contrary to the spirit of
American institutions and as unconstitn-
tional. He said the government OF the
United States cannot afford to put itself in
the attitude OF Don OuiXote in vain
effort to care for and advance the interests
of every people in every land that appeared
according to our standards Of civiliza-
tion-to need our help. He had been an
advocate Of Intervention in the case Of Cuba.
but from this fact 1t did not follow that
he was willing to transfer the Philippines
from Spanish vassalage to a dependency of
the United States.
Senator Mason in a few words endorsed
Senator Moneys position that the Filipinos
would be made citizens by the ratification
Of the treaty and Senator Teller In a brief
rejoiner controverted this position, saying
that an act OF congress would be necessary
to fix their status toward the body polite.
Senator Eear also endorsed Senator Moneys
position
