No Change In California.

Sacramento. Cal, Jan. 31.-Three bal
lots were taken for United States SEN
ator today, but the result of each was
the same as that taken yesterday. The
Burns faction evidently expected some
thing TO happen, for they insisted up
on a third ballot. in the face of the Op-
position of many OF the scattering
forces. The motion for the third ballot
was carried by a vote of % 10 y. If
the Burns people were looking for a
change. they were disappointed. for
the vote was the same as that of the
first two. The ballots taken today.
which We're the thirty-fifth, thirty

M'K1NLEY's INSTRUCTIONS.
Commissioners to Accept Nothing

washington. Jan. SLIT appears that
an erroneous impression has gone
abroad respecting the nature Of the
presidents instructions 10 the American
peace commissioners in Paris touching
the limitations of the claims 10 be put
forward. so far as the Philippines were
concerned. to the island of LuZCn. As
a matter of fact. 50 far from making
that island the maximum claim CT the
Americans, the presidents instruction
actually placed that island as the min
imum claim to be set out. The language
was nothing less than the island Of
LuzOn.' instead Of nothing more than
the island of Luzon." 1t can be stated
also that the correspondence submitted
TO the senate included all Of the in
structiOns to the American commits
sioners. The only omissions from the
mass, it is stated. We're letters touch

either end of which were three arrows.
When in line Old Abe was always carried
on the left of the color bearer, in the van
of the regiment. The color bearer wore q
belt to which was attached socket for
the end of the staff, which was about i've
feet in length Thus the eagle was high
above the bearers head, in plain sight of
the column. A ring of leather was fasten-
ed to one of the eagles legs, to which was
connected a strong hemp cord about TWEEN
ty feet long.
Old Abe was the hero of about twenty
five battles, and as many skirmshes. Re
markable as it may appear, not one bearer
of the flag, or of eagle, always shining
marks for the encmy's rifles, was ever shot
down. Once or twice Old Abe suffered
the loss of a few feathers, but he was
never wounded. The great bird enjoyed
the excitement of carnage. In battle he
tapped his wings, his eyes blazed, and
with piercing screams, which arose above
the noise of the conflict, seemed to urge
the company on to deeds of valor. Old
Abe knew his own regiment from every
other, would always accompany its cheer,
and never that of any other regiment.
"Id rather capture old Abe" said Gen.
Sterling Price of the Confederate army,
than whole brigade"
Having served three years, portion of
the members of Company G were muster
ed out, and Old Abe was presented to the
State of Wisconsin. For many years on
occasions of public exercises or review,
like other illustrious veterans, he excited
in parade universal and enthusiastic at
tention. He occupied pleasant quarters
in the State capitol at Madison, Wis.,, un-
til his death at an advanced age.

town. Extending away to the east across
the Potomac lies the proud city of the ma
-Washington-with its legislative
hall Of granite and marble, while Just be-
yond it glitters the gilded dome of the
Congressional Library building. The
mansion is surrounded by broad drive
way, and from it the well-kcpt walks lead
in and out among the flower beds.
In perfect grove of forest and orna-
mental trees, over level plateau that ex-
tends from the western wall of the Gene
terry to the mansion, is the general bury
ing ground where thousands of the private
soldiers lie. In this section the head
stones are all alike, simple marble slabs
rising about two feet from the ground,
bearing the names and regiments of those
whose graves they mark. Directly south
of the house is a most interesting plot of
ground. Right in its center is what is
known as the Temple of Fame. 1t is
circular structure and is composed of eight
columns, surmounted by dome, which
rests on an octagonal cornice of stone
work. Set in this cornice are the names
of Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Far
ragut. There is also carved on each of
the pillars one of the following illustri-
Gus names: Mcpherson, Sedgwick, Rey-
nolds, Humphrey, Garfield, Mansfield,
Thomas and Meade. This temple is seen
in the background of the illustration of
the Tomb of the Unknown. During the
summer months the names of our famous
generals appear in floral letters in this
plot. Immediately west of the Temple
is the Tomb of the Unknown Dead, and
contains the bodies of gill soldiers who
were picked up after the battle of Bull
Run, and who could not be identified. 1t
is one of the most touching sights.
There are four magnificent entrance
gates to Arlington, of which, perhaps,
the one known us the Sheridan is the
most interesting. 1t is of four NAM
moth white marble columns, which were
originally in the War Department at
Washington, but when it was destroyed
by fire in 1870 they were saved, and were
placed at Arlington as gateway, and
named in honor of Little Phil" All the

Some Of our foremost educators are
In favor of saving time by shortening
the spelling of certain words. The idea
Is not new, and many newspapers have
long been accustomed to shorten such
words as programme" into program"
and prologue" into ''prolog." Recent
" Superintendent Andrews has recon-
mended to teachers in the public
schools of Chicago the following list of
words for amended spelling: Program
(programme), tho (though), thoro (thor-
ough), thorofare (thoroughfare), thru
(througD, turnout throughout, cata-
log (catalogue), prolog (prologue), deca-
log (decalogue), demagog (demagogue),
pedagog (pedagogue). OF course this
list is simply starter in the pathway
Of reform. Just where the matter will
end 1t is difficult to say. John Billings
was pioneer in this line of endeavor,
and his "fonetic" spelling, which used
to cause great amusement, and which
was the foundation of his fame as a
humorist, may become the scientific
method Of the future. Billings tried to
prove that he could be funny without
'fonetics," and wrote lot of humor-
GUS paragraphs for the old Scribner's
Magazine, entitled uncle Eseck's Wis
dome" but they failed to make hit,
and Billings experiment was failure
No doubt the present spelling of many
words is cumbersome, but reformers
will find their task little short of the
impossible.

after all, is there not more to joke
than mere laugh? Is not the effect

humorist are few and are mostly kept
in stock. 1t is scarcely necessary to
mention them seriatim, rs they have
already been mentioned large num-

sphere of influence, and may be per-
