a sensation will be created.
After the adjournment of the Senul

meeting IN one of the committees rooms
The general belief was that the list o
nominations would be approved with
out delay, and a report to that efYec
be prepared. but such did not prove I,
be the case. certain members of til
committee setting up vigorous com
plant against two of the names whi,l
We're included in the list of nomina
tions. A long debate followed, ard
when the meeting broke up late In til
afternoon nothing had been nccori
plished. One of the members was IN
structed to call upon Governor Adam
for the purpose of asking an expiana
ton from the chief executive ms to his
selection of the two persons I'm ques
ton. The call was made saturday. and
the governor explained his reasons foi
making the appointments. The senate.
retired from the executive chamber. bu'
whether or not the explanation whicl
he received was OF n nature cnlculatet!
TO quell the uprising in the committee
is unknown. The report this morning
will settle the question.

Secretary Wilson says lie is watch

their foolish jealousies do not destroy
the results of his efforts In behalf of

says: "The Chicago packing houses.

tor ships have made the cattle indus

tains n paragraph which is intended TO
permit the secretary of agriculture TO
retaliate upon any nation that places
an embargo upon our products or re-
fuses to accept our certificates rs to the
purity and wholesomeness of our cx-
ports. The bill, which is now under
consideration by the Senate commit
tee. will be further amended In this
particular so as to give the President
authority to reciprocate rs well as re-
talinte In our trade with other ma
lions. If Germany and France con-
tlnue to impose unnecessary and un-
reasonable restrictions upon American
agricultural products the President. by
proclamation. may impose restrictions
upon their exports seeking entry into
the United States. For example, if
the French government places an en-
bargo upon our meat products the
President could require a chemical
analysis of every bottle OF champagne
or other wine imported from France,
which would practically destroy the
trade. The same rule could be applied
to German cheese. sausage and wines,
ana also to German toys. which are
imported In very large amounts

Seldom. if ever. in the history of the

over the selection of chaplain. The
fusionists had decided on three minis

The fourth chaplain WAS refused. As
it now stands there will be three chap

tween them.
The Senate, having appointed its
committees in advance of the House. it
took the lead in the matter Of entering
bills. and thiriy-eicht acts are now
before the Assembly for consideration,
Chief among them are bills abolishing

appears In the January Century. "The
Wrecking and the Inquiry are the
special subjects of this CONCLUDING
paper. The captains personal rela.
tions with General BlancO and AdmIrai
ManterOla We're, he says, undisturbed
by the explosion. They remained cor.
dial to the last" Soon after the catas.
trophe the admiral called upon Cap
tain Sigsbee and conversation oc-
CURED which Is tersely summarized In
these words:
''The admiral assumed from the arst
that the explosion was from the In
terror of the vessel. He asked II the
dynamo boilers had not exploded. I
told him we had no dynamo boilers
He said that the plans Of the vessel
as published. showed that the gun.
cotton store-room, or magazine was
forward near the zone of the explosion
He was informed that these plans bad
been changed, and that the gunuAsnu
was slowed aft, under the captains
cabin, where the vessel was virtually
intact. He pointed out that modem
gunpOwders were sometimes very un-
stable. This was met by the remark
that our powder was OF the old and
stable brown prismatic kind, and that
we had no fancy powder. He referred
to the probable presence Of boilers
lighted, near the forward coal-bunken
which were adjacent to the magazinea
This again was met with the remark
that for three months no boiler in the
forward boiler compartment had been
lighted; that while In port the two
aftermost boilers in the ship had been
doing service"

CONDITIONS IN HAVANA.
Colonel warinE's Report Presents Horr
BILE Details,

Washington. Jan. 9.-The War De.
partment division OF customs and in
sular affairs made public to-day n very
full synopsis Of the late George a.
Warnings report Of his visit to Havana
under the special Instructions of the
War Department given him early last
autumn TO thoroughly inspect the sani-
tary condition Of the city and to make
such recommendations for the future
Improvement of the town rs might be
suggested by said inspection.
Colonel Waring says lie found the
STRENGTHENING department without nd
cquate organization or funds. and the
markets offensive and dangerously
filthy for the distribution OF human
food. with the exception OF two, the
Tacon and Colon markets. He also
found the machinery used for sweep.
Ing the streets Ineffective.
Foul pools Were found In the streets
into which rubbish and filth had been
deposited, which the contractor was
not required to clean. This filth was
turned over to the buzzards. Some OF
the streets In the compact part Of the
city are paved with large stone blocks,
nnd the remainder are unpaved. These
streets are filed with dirty holes
which are In turn filed up with house
garbage.
There IL practically no sewerage. In
many eases households connect their
prlvnte vaults with loose brick or stone
drnins just under the pavement along
their frontage. These allow the liquid
filth to leach out into the ground close
10 the surface, enabling the household.
or to get out Of much hiring OF night
scnvcngers to bail out and carry away
denominations.
Strengthening pens. while supcrficially
clean. are brutally dlsgusting while the
work IL going on. Dead dogs, eats ana
chickens arc left In the streets until
the buxxnrds pick them to the skeleton.
And. all this is done under nm intense
sun. Bnd ny these conditions nrc, they
nre not comparable with the dIsgustln
conditions Of the domestic life.
The water supply Of Hnvnna. says
Mr.. Wiring. Is OF the purest and most

has been for some years conceded 70
them in Wyoming. Colorado, Utah and
Idaho; and just now South Dakota has
come near to adopting IT in the form
OF constitutional amendment It is
noteworthy that in all these new and
sparsely settled communities of the
West the women are much less numer-
Gus than the men. and are probably
the more highly valued for their rar-
ity. In many localities they are chosen
as directors or superiDtendents of

Mr.. Stead reports in the London
Daily Chronicle that wherever he goes
in Europe he finds the governing
classes understanding, and to some ex-
tent using. the English language At
the court Of st. Petersburg it is the
household tongue; the czar, the car
lisa and their children habitually use
it in conversation with each other.
There is an old saying that the tongues
of earth are many. but of heaven only
one. Then the growth OF one language
toward universal use-and the English
language is making it-may well be
reckoned q growth toward the divine
ideal.
