The Senate Again Fails to Act on the Nom
nations of nmpSon and Schley.
WASHINGTON, March Pit now looks very
much as IL none OF the naval promotions and
advancements made on account of heroism and
conspicuous conduct during the war with
Spain which are on the calendar OF the Senate
will receive affirmative action at this session.
Senators German and Wellington. who may he
said to represent the interests OF Admiral
6chley more than any other two men in the
Senate. the Admiral being a citizen of their
State. endeavored throughout the day to
bring about the withdrawal OF the OBJ
~jections OF Senators Butler. Pettigrew and
Stewart to the confirmation OF Sampson. They
were unsuccessful. but hoped that when the
Senate went into executive session these Sem
ators would see the predicanfent in which they
were placing the nominations and would per-
nit the recommendations OF the Secretary OF
the Navy and of the Senate Committee TO 90
were called up the same tactics pursued yes
terday were again INDUCED IN. and after q
short. rambling discussion. the nominations
went over without action until the next eYecu-

proposition. even II made. could not command
all the votes that would go 10 Schleyo on a mo-
ton to confirm him. 1t was the Intention OF
MIR. Butler TO move this afternoon to proceed TO
the consideration Of Schley,s nomination, but

Mr.. Butler believes there are enough votes to
place, Schley above Sampson. and 1t would be-
his object in making such a motion to force
the Sampson side to object or inaugurate u
tllibuster, thereby throwing the responsibility
for non-aetiOn upon them.
When Mr.. Wellington this afternoon got the
nominations up he hoped they would 20
through without opposition, but Mr. Butler ut
once objected 10 action being had on the
Sampson case. He was reinforced by Messrs.
Stewart and Pettigrew. both of whom threat
ened todlscuss the nominatlons at length II the
effort were made 10 confirm them this after
noon. Speeehmaking at the late hour was
manifestiy impossible. and the nominations
were reluctantly laid aside. An effort will be
made again Tomorrow to persuade these SEN
ators TO permit action to be taken. Ii an agree
ment is not reached. none Of the men who have
been promoted for their gallantry can receive
the fruits OF reward until the Senate again
meets.
Under the law naval officers can be promoted
to their next rank when a vacancy occurs IN
the ordinary course OF things, but the promo
lions now before the Senate come under a diff
ferent statute altogether. They are promo
tions for bravery. &c. and must receive the
approval Of the Senate, and cannot 90 into
elect until that approval Is given. IL the SEN
ate should adjourn without confirming these
officers. all OF them will have to wait until the
next session. Dewey and his men have re-
ceived their reward. the promotions recon-
mended having been promptly confirmed by
the Senate.

LET JOKES BE COPYRIGHTED

 "The critics are continually roasting us about our jokes,'' growled farce comedy specialist who was in town last week. T wish they would tell us where we can get some new ones and how long we can hang on to them after we get them.
 "A good joke is harder to keep than a silver-mounted umbrella I had three SeaSon-jokeS, I mean, not umbrellas and I guarded them carefully, l never exposed them to the air for a moment until l opened a roof engagement in Philadelphia.
 Then I let one loose, very cautious ly, and 1t was grabbed by three con- scienceless variety performers who were in the audience on deadhead tickets. Inside of 24 hours they were exhibiting it as their own, and later one of them had the audacity 10 accuse me of stealing the idea from him. My other two jokes were kidnapped in the same manner, and they have been worked so hard since that they are all old before their time-prematurely broken down, as 1t were. So what is a fellow to do?

Although they believe in polygamy and say it is a part of their religion, they are not preaching it's in- troduction They abide, they say, by the law of 1890 against polygamy. The missionary effort of the Mormons is worldwide. There are at present about 5000 missionaries out in the work, about 1,250 of them being in the south- ern States. They have 300 in Europe and are doing effectual work in the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand, the Pacific and Society Islands, Tahiti, Australia, and Sano. They claim fol- lowing now of 300, ,000 active communi- cants, 250.000 of whom are located in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming, and California. They are meeting with very great success in Mexico.

MORMON MISSION YORK.

Mormonism is not decaying re-
 liglon according to recent reports o1 it's condition. It is said to be gaining firm footing in the north centra
 States-IoWa, Missouri, Illinois, In diana. Michigan, Nebraska, the Da- kotas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota Three years ago missionary work was begun in that section. The first year there were a few converts The next year there were few more, while dur ing the third year, just closed the number of converts and baptsms has been twice as great as during the first two years. There are now HOO bap- tiAeu anu accepted Mormens in the section named. As in some of the southern States, the missionaries have been harshly treated in many places, often being driven away by rotten eggs and other missiles, but they have re- doubled their efforts later at such places after the excitement has sub sided, and in many cases have estab- lished churches and mission organiza- tions. The Mormon workers accent no pay, ask no aims, take up no oollec
 tions, but maintain themselves at their own expense. They get nothing from the church at Salt Lake from which they are sent out, and they must foot

health.

There can be no doubt about the genuneness and the height, breadth and depth of the enthusiasm for Admi- ral Dewey. It is a most interesting phenomenon. Will it last long enough to make him nominee for the presi- dency, and if it does will he let it have it's way with him? He hasn't said anything yet that would make it im- possible for him to let himself be nomi-
 mated, and though he isn't politician
 he has shown proper and attractive
 modesty about the matter. Colonel Me-
 Clure, of the Philadelphia Times, who
 is one of the ablest politicians of the country, appears to regard with some thing like seriousness the proposition to nominate Dewey for president He finds an analogy in the present situa- tion to that when the Wings took up General Taylor as their candidate in 1S4S. General Taylor, like Admiral Dewey, had no politics. He made no pledges, and the party which nomina- ted him laid down no platform Colonel Mcclure thinks the Democrats might take the same action now. He proposes that they place General Wheeler or General Lee on the ticket with Dewey. Taylor, it is pointed out, was averse to accepting, but yielded, and the colonel advances the proposition that, as no man ever refused the presidency when it was actually within his grasp, Dew ey will not prove an exception to the rule. He thinks it not impossible that the Republicans may nominate Dewey, if the Democrats do not
 The veteran Joe Howard thinks that Dewey will be nominated in some con- vention whether he wants to run or not. If his present popularity continues he will be even greater than he now seems to be if he isn't conquered by politics and politicians.

|, diiy resisted the continuance of this ar- engagement Women, especially the slender ones, liked it too well to give it sufficiently novel arrangement of trimming to excuse the off-shouder cut even if it were a bit out of date, as it is not. Bias folds were laid in this odd design, and biscuit calnels hair was the dress stuff. A smooth cloth would look even better with this treatment.
 The new automobile skirt is of inter est to many women who know automo- piles only from seeing and reading about them. It is much like any other outing skirt Ii falls to the ankles, shows folds or pleats only at the back, and spreads well from the knees. It is made of double-faced cloth and is fin ished with strap seams, under one of which it faStens at the side. The back is closed to most we'll over the round of the figure, the pleats lying together almost to the edge of the skirt. In such a skirt the Wearer sits as square ly as if on a wheel, the pleats being laid flat instead of separating for the saddle. So worn it does not crease no matter how long 1t is used Several flat pockets are set on the hips, and there is often a large pocket under the flap where the skirt fastens. It is hard for a woman to realize that she can get away with as many things if she has several flat pockets as if she has one big bag pocket.

4 CHANGED CITY,

Philadelphia is called the City of
 Brotherly Love and the City of Homes
 But if the truth is told it ought also to
 be called the City of Dreadful Election
 Frauds. The managers of the Munich
 pal league have been studying the vot-
 ing, and they declare that at the elec-
 tion last November not less than 9O,000 fraudulent votes were cast or returned.
 They say that other estimates which are regarded as conservative place the | number at 50,000 One of the most ex- perienced politicians in the city is of the opinion that as many as S0,000 fraudulent votes have been cast at one election. The Press (Republican) fully endorses these views as to the frightful extent of the evil, The Record, a Dem ocratic journal says that much has been said of the corrupt practices of Tammany Hall, but in New York the elections of Philadelphia are brought into comparison with them.' The Mu- nicipal league in it's report mentions the case of one repeater who on his own confession had voted thirty-seven times on one election day.
 With this condition of things and with typhoid fever staying many, Philadel- phia seems to be much in need of puri- flying influences. It is a sad state of af- fairs to exist in a city that once had fine reputation for good morals and good health.
