At the night session, Mr. Crumpacker,
Republican of Indiana, supported the bill
and advocated annexation, but urged that
the natives of the Philippines in virtue of
annexation, would become citizens of the
United States. He bitterly opposed a CO.
loniai system for outlying possessions.
Mr Rixey, Democrat of Virginia, op-
posed the bill A standing army of 10000
men, he declared would be the beginning
of a grand imperial army.
Mr. Linney, Republican Of North Caro-
lima, supported the bill He thought II wise
to reorganlze and enlarge the standing
army. He believed If both North and
South had had trained armies, the civil
war would have been wound up in a few
months as was the Franco russian war

country had cost more lives in North Car

THE SPHINX.
The Sphinx on Roman History.

| Way back in the days of the
Roman Empire there lived states
man Mark Antony by nama, This
great man was not what his Chris
tian name spelled but he was great
and powerful, and when julius Gaze
sar was 'picked'' through the heart,
and rose no more, the eloquence Of
Antony brought the people back to
their senses, and saved for the son of
Caesar the job OF being Emperor,
| to succeed his dad 1t looked for
a time as though Brutus would be
ruler, for ''Bru tus was an honorable
man, and had not Antony talked to
the people would doubtless have been
Emperor of mighty Rome. Antony
at that time was the greatest fellow
in old Rome, and young Caesar was
very found of him.
But Antony became fascinated
with Cleopatra and went into
Egypt, and there he lived and died.
He was SO thoroughly "stuck" on
the fair queen that we read of him
saying such silly things to her as
"There's beggary in the love that
can be reckoned" Cleopatra re-
ceiprocrated, and Antony made up
his bed on her parlor floor and
camped there for many moons.
Young Caesar, ''scarce- bearded,
was angry with Antony, but
the latter couldn t break way, and
stayed around Alexandria, and ex-
changed coo-coo talk with Cleopatra.
In those olden days they didn t talk
love in any refined manner. but
called things by their right name,
and there was no subject that was
exempt. Such eminent historians as
VIM. Shakespeare, Esq, in the
translation into the Kings English,
have found it impossible to altogeth-
err eliminate few things that seem
'smutty," but we call it classic
/ literature and let it 90 at that.
Caesar finally rounded up Cleopatra
and Antony in their coup at Alex
andria, bat they both gave him the
slip, and Antony by the help of his
friend Eros shuffied off by the dagger
route; while Cleopatra in fear of
being dragged through the streets of
Rome, applied az asp to her breast,
and died regretting that Antony had
gone before, and that he could not
speak and ''call great Caesar ass.
Antony had been mighty in Rome; be
fought as became the Roman soldier,
and added halo TO his name.
Dewey in this nineteenth century
couldn't eclipse him for honors, but
be fell in love (Antony did, and that
settled it. After he went to Cleo
patra he lest his fighting qualities,
and died regretting that the Roman
soldiers of Caesar had vanquished a
Roman
Many noble Antony rises to dis
tinction in his country, or is honored
among his townspeople, but it is not
uncommon for woman to make a
fool of them, and their usefulness
ceases, and he must be excused to a
certain extent if he 'plaYs such fan
tastic tricks.

baltimore q ohio.

From time to time articles appear
IN various papers about the so-called
"Hill control" of Baltimore & Ohio.
together with exhaustive details Of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr. Hill
and other people In the Baltimore G.
Ohio board. The details Of these strug
giles are very interesting. but are open
to the criticism that they have no ex-
iStence in fact. The plain facts OF the
4fatter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio. nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second. that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr.
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
End third. that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore &
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
1t is pretty we'll understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio. on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser. and
70 this end he. with some Of his
ffiends. purchased a substantial inter-
est In the preferred stock OF the
company. This interest Is nowhere
near a controlling interest. but is still
yery large. 1t may be said without

!. tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio

1t Is stated that representatives OF
all branches OF the French service and
probably an officer from every line

quiring colloQuial knowledge of

quainted with Russian military tao
tics. Lieut.. Ferral of the Fifty-ninth
regiment OF the line has just complet-
ed at Odessa a course OF instruction in

The preamble OF the bill for increas-
ing the German army is said to con-
tain a reference to the Spanish-Amer~
lean war as furnishing proof of the
disastrous consequences of neglecting
in time OF peace a careful and system
attic preparation for war. The prep
arations of France and of European
Russia. says the Army and Navy Jour
nal, indicate that these countries, in
spite of the cars manifesto, are ia
boring unweariedly at the task of per-
fecting their armies. In addition to a
Ear higher strength on a peace footing
than ours, they have increased their
anuaI draft of recruits to 250.000 and
800. 600 men. respectively, while in
Germany the number of recruits pro-
vided for In the estimate amounts only
to something like 227.000.' AS to the
czar's peace proposals, the preamble
points out that disarmament has no.

cumstances 1t can scarcely be antici-
