During Consideration Of the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial Bill.
Chairman Cannon Sounds a Note
Of Warning in the House
Against Extravagant Appropri-
ations, and Gives Notice That
Neither the Subsidy Bill Nor the
Nicaragua Canal Bill Can be
Passed at This Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Throughout
its open session to-day the Senate had
under consideration the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation
bill. A lively debate was precipitated
over the appropriation for the support
OF the office of Supervising Architect
of the Treasury, and that official was
criticised for the delay in the construc-
ton of public buildings throughout the
United States. A speech made by AL
len, in which he commented unfavor-
ably upon the methods of the Appropri-
alton Committee, induced rejoinder
from Chandler of New Hampshire,
which resulted in sharp tilt between
the two Senators. Fifty-one pages of
the pending bill were disposed of before
the Senate went into executive session
for the remainder of the day.
At the opening of the Senate's session
to-day. the following bills were passed:
Authorizing the Sioux City and Omaha
Railway Company to construct and
operate a railway through the Omaha
and Winnebago Reservation, In Thurs
ton County, Neb.; to restore to their
original status as to promotion officers
of the navy and marine corps who lost
numbers by reason of the advancement
Of other officers for exceptional and
meritorious services during the war with
Spain; authorizing the Arkansas Har-
Dor Terminal Railway Company to con-
Etruct a bridge across the Corpus
Christi channel in Texas; and for the
purchase or construction of a launch
for the customs service at Astoria, Or,
to cost not more than $500.
The executive, legislative and judi
eiary appropriation bill was taken up
and consideration of it resumed.
The paragraph relating to the deposit
of copyright work in the National Lii
brary was stricken out, with the inten-
tion of revising it in conference.
) a brief but lively civil service debate
was precipitated by an inquiry of Cock
rell Of Missouri concerning the expend-
iture of money for the office of Super
vising Architect. He maintained that
the work of the Supervising Architects
office was done slowly, If not badly The
construction of public buildings dragged
through year after year. Were the
same buildings being erected by private
individuals, they would be completed
in one season.
Gallinger of New Hampshire pointed
out, in this connection, that the Treas
ury Department was now authorized
to invite competition of private archi-
tects in the construction Of public build

Peat Bricks q Chean Fnel.

Consul Kehl of Stettin writes Of the
manufacture of briquettes from peat or
turf. This fuel, besides being cheap,
has other merits. 1t is clean easily
packed in bins, gives good heat, and in
a closed stove with only q slight
draught will remain in glowing state
for ten: hours. Owing to crude machin-
cry the cost of production now (about
$1.55 per ton) is greater than it will
be when improved machinery is intro
duced. Briquettes manufactured from
coal are cheaper than those Of turf

CHINESE WOMAN KIDNAPPED.
TAKEN FROM THE poRTI4AND
TRAIN HERE.
One Gang In San Jose Wants Her,
So Does Another Up In
Portland.

| 3
The police received a message from
San Jose shortly before midnight last
night to detain Chinawoman who was
On the Oregon train and being spirited
of to Portland. The Constable from
whom the message was received stated
that he held a warrant for her arrest
for larceny.
Officers Ash and Fitzgerald got, to the
depot just as the train arrived, and In
one of the sleepers found the woman.
She was in charge Of a man named
WEIGH, who showed a badge and said
he was a Deputy Constable OF San
Jose, but as he could not show any au-
thority for holding the woman the Off
GERS took her to the Police Station.
Sergeant Plunkett then notified the
San Jose officer that they had the wo-
man, and he replied that he would
come here for her this morning.
Welch was accompanied by his wife,
and they were quite indignant at hav-
ing their junketing trip to Portland SO
summar1ly cut short. In the berth OBJ
posite to that occupied by the China
woman was a Chinaman, but he had
sense enough to make no trouble
Welch said the woman belonged up
north; that the other day she was kid
naped in San Francisco and taken to
San Jose. but her friends had recap
tured her and he was taking her home
The larceny charge is, no doubt,
trumped up one for the purpose of get
ting the woman back to San Jose. It
Is an old dodge and one that is always
worked when possession is desired of
some Chinese female chattel
The only question in this case is,
which side is the one that is doing the
kidnapping? Does the woman belong
to parties in San Jose, or do her own
ers live in Portland? An I-street Chi
nese merchant, who had been apprised
of what was going on an hour before
the police were informed, says she has
husband in San Jose, while the Chi
naman who was. found near her on the
train is supposed to claim that rela-
tionship.
So far as the woman Gen Ying) is
concerned, she is probably Indifferent
as to the outcome. Whoever gets her
will doubtless subject her to the same
slavish purposes to which most Chinese
women are forced to submit

Los ANGELES, Feb. 9.-Superin-

LOS ANGELES. Feb 9. = Frank T.
Kleghorn, witness in the Hunter mur-
der trial, shot himself in the head this
afternoon, dying almost instantly
Kleghorn had been sick and confined
to his bed for some time, and yester-
day the attorneys took his deposition
at the bedside, and it was read in court
this morning. 1t was fat contradic-
tion of Harry Clark's statement con-
Meeting Hunter with the murder, of
which Vickers has already been con-
victed. Hunter refuses to talk about

1t is difficult to form an opinion upon
character belonging to another nation
or race, and the boyish Malay chief,
Emilio Aguinaldo, remsinsa character
not easily analyzed. That he is man
of magnetism and of certain power has
been proven by his success on organic
ing Heterogeneous mob of rebels will

In way the interest of the world is
centered upon him, and it is interesting
to learn something of his career.
He was born not quite thirty years
ago, probably in the province of Cavite,
in the island of Luzon. There is some
doubt as to his ancestry, but he is
mostly declared to be the son of Span
ish general. The circumstances of his
boyhood were favorable to his mental
developement.
When but four years old, he was TAX
on into the house Of Jesuit priest in
Manila AS "houseboy" helping wash
dishes, clean silver, and the like. His
master took an interest in him, and
gave him an education above the aver.
age.
He afterwards attended universities
in Manila and Hong Kong. He had a
fiery sense of wrong done in the in
human expressions prscticed by Spain
and he led many enterprises for the vic.
lent punishment of those who has beer
the most flagrant oppressors. He was
always leader, a general or "col-
onel" from the start. Yet it was his
influence which caused the insurgents
to accept the overtures of the Manils
government at last.
In his hands was placed the small
quota of the promised 100000 actu
ally paid by the Spaniards, and he
with his chief, left the island, unde

A HERO oF The MINE.

Fellow Workman

He Risked His Life to Save That of .
Fellow Workman.
Heber Franklin. young man en-
ployed at the Clear Creek mine, Is as
much hero as any man who ever
braved deaSh on the battlefield. Frank
lin sought not glory, but to save hu-
man life. There was fire In the mine.
The men were called out. Then they
were about to shut off the air in order
to stop the flames, when 1t was learned
that lone miner was working deep in
the mine beyond the point where the
fire started and was then raging with
growing strength. Here is the story
Of the subsequent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called
for volunteers to so with him into the
mine to rescue the man. Several at
tempts were made by different ones,
but they were driven back by the
flames, and the cry of "Powderw
caused hasty retreat.
Finally Heber Franklin. young man
whose work keeps him on the outside,
said, 81 will CO." And accompanying
Foreman Thomas he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tamping hole, entire
ly unconscious of the danger threaten
ing him. They succeeded in getting
out Of the mine safely, when the fan
was shut off and the dip closed up.
The rescue was an act Of great bravery
on the part of Franklin, as his work
kept him on the outside and he was
unacquainted with the exact lay of the
land inside, and the danger of suffoca-
ton from black damp was great. He
was the only man of the many stand
Ing by whose nerve did not desert him.
1t is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more of lost time would
have resulted in the death of the miner
who was at work and possibly great
loss to the company, as the supply of
air could not be cut off while there was
any hope Of rescue, and this would
have tended TO feed the damss.-salt

Dairy Cows Eating straw,

Whenever grain is grown largely and
its straw is stacked in the barnyard
after threshing, cows have q great lik
ing for rubbing themselves against the
stack to rid themselves of the flies that
torment them. A fence should be
built around the stack to protectit from
being pulled to pieces. Cows will eat
considerable straw, picking at it, and
they will often eat enough of the chaff
to lessen their flow of milk. This chaff
makes good winter feed If moistened
and grain meal or bran is mixed with it.
Thus fed even the straw will not help
dry the COWS off, as it will if fed dry

that there was q greater number of

resolution was adopted urging the

gress to take up the oleomsrgarine bill

Vic. and Dom Paul.


Respectfully Dedicated to the Anglo-Mani,
Who Want an Alliance. I'M. D. Nagle
Dubuque Globe journal.
There was an old lady named Vic.,
Who. with Dom Paul, a quarrel did pick.
And cannons now roar
In the land OF the Boer,
And the sound makes old yicky feel sick.
She sent down her men by the corps,
10 light the stout-hearted old Boer,
Who laughed at her style,
And laid low rank and file,
And he should "Just send us some more''
Then Vic. wrung her hands and did weep,
Ger the heaps that Dom Paul put to sleep;
And her brain 1t is burning,
And her mind 1t is turning
While cold chills up her ample spine creep,
Then She cried out aloud in her grief,
"Oh! for man and chief,
To sail:oer the sea
And do battle for me,
And bring my poor heart some relief"
Then came forth the greatest of oil,
To "lay OUT our old Uncle Paul.
But Paul he was fuller
OF fighting than Butler,
And old Vic. gave another loud bawl.
Now Dom. with his thumb on his nose.
Is wiggling his hand at his foes,
For. on Afrlc's dark shore.
He has made Vicky sore,
And knocked out the chap with silk hose.
Now Dom gives shout of defiance.
To her gen'rals of tlnsel. not science;
And in words loud and clear.
Says to Vicky, Look here!
With you don't want an alliance"

One Of the many stories told of the
late DR.. Wallace, NJ. p. is to the effect
that when the editor of a local paper
in the north asked him "if he would
kindly furnish an article on a light
theological topic" Wallace responded
with one bearing the title "The Rela-
tons Between the Presbyterian Church
and Modern Thought" When set up
the article made 40 columns, and 1t be-
came a puzzle to editor and printer
how to get rid Of 1t. They began by
using 1t in pieces. and whenever the
printer said to the editor, We've got
no leader" the reply was. "Eh, mon,

Capitalization of wealth and indus.
trial power in great corporations destroys
the prospect of the youth of humble
