ON THE HAWAIIAN BILL,
Mr.. Tillman Nettled by a Reference to
South Carolina


After The Stars report .of the proceed
ings of the Senate was closed yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Platt Comm offered amend
ments to section 81 of the Hawaiian bill
providing that the President and not the
governor of the territory shall appoint the
chief justice and justices of the supreme
court and the judges OF the circuit courts,
and that the tenure of office of such ap-
pointees should be four instead of nine
years. Mr. Plat made an extended argu-
ment in support of his amendments, hold
ing that the propositions to the appoint
ment OF of1cialS and the tenure of office
were radically different from those incor-
porated in any previous enabling act for
a territory.
Mr.. Cullom. in charge of the measure,
defended the action of the committee in
placing the appointments referred to in the
governor and not in the President. In JUS
LITIGATION of the committees action he said
the government of Hawaii, when the terri
tory was acquired by the United States
was one of the best republican forms OF
government in existence. and il was the de-
sire of the committee to afford the people
of Hawaii as full and free government as
could be extended to them in the circum-
stances.
In opposition to the proposed amendment
Mr.. Morgan reviewed the situation as the
Hawaiian commission found it the is
lands. and argued that the justices men
toned in the amendment should have a
longer tenure of office than four years. rs
in that time no man. stranger to Hawaii.
could master the customs. institutions and
language of the people. He did not APP
prove of making those positions political
foot balls.
Referring to Mr.. Platts argument that
the propositions of the bill were different
from what had ever been applied to a ter
ritory, he said: That ought to make no
difference. If this government is never to
do anything that il never did before we will
sit down and become thoroughly stale.
Whether you call it expansion some
thing else / am in favor of lifting up this
government and our institutions and press
ing onward day by day"
In the course of his argument Mr.. Nor
gan was interrupted by Mr. Tlman. who
wanted to know how many registered vot-
ers there were in Hawaii at the present
time. He thought there were about 1000.
composed largely of Americans Germans
and other white foreigners.
Mr.. Cullom INTERCEPTED the information
that in 1890 the voters murderer about
11,0O0
At this point Mr.. Wolcott (Col) expressed
a desire to offer a suggestion" to Mr.. TILL
man. He then called attention to the
small vote cast in South Carolina in pro-
portion to population at the last general
election.
Mr. Tillman attempted to reply hut Mr..
Morgan, who held the floor, refused TO
yield, whereupon Mr.. Tillman retorted,
sharply: 'Of course. 1 shall have to yield
under such a gag rule. 1 suppose"
Without concluding Mr.. Morgan yielded
for an executive session at 400 pm, and
the Senate, at 4:45 PM. adjourned.

WILLIAM II. BEARD DEAD.
Painter of Animals Succumbs to n
stroke of ipOpIeNy.

William H. Beard. famous as a painter
of animals, died Tuesday night at his
home, No, "a West 10th street. after
an illness beginning on January 81. Apo
pleXy was the cause of death. Mr. Beard
was scventy-five years old His ancestry
was a notable one and there We're many
painters in 1t. He was descended in the n,d-
ternaI line from Sir Lochlan Mac,ean of
Scotland and on the paternal side from Sir
James Beard of England.
He was born at gainesville, Ohio, IN
April ID. 1872 Mr.. Beard took to drawing
in early childhood. his first models being
the family dog and cat and their puppies
and kittens. His early instruction in paint
ing, beyond such as he could impart to
himself seems to have consisted only of a
few lessons from his elder brother, James
III. Beard, an artist of repute whom he
followed to New York. Returning to Ohio.
Mr.. Beard earned his livelihood as a pur-
trait painter. and afterward he set up his
easel in Buffalo. where his brush secured
him sufficient support to go to Europe in
1857. He took with him several important
commissions. and spent three years in
painting at Dusseldorf and sketchfnp in
Italy. Switzerland and France He did not
enter the studio of any MASTER, but benefit
ed himself by a general observation and
study of art.
In 1860 he returned to make his per-
manent home in New York, and in
1862 was elected National Academician
few years later he married the daugh-
ter of Thomas LIE Clear. the portrait
painter. Among his best-known works

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
A Substitute Introduced by Repre-
sentative Minor of WiscOnsin.

n ny NepTS.
sentative Minor of Wisconsin.
Four of the republican members of the
House committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, who have differed with their as
sociates on the terms of the shipping bill,
have completed substitute bill, which has
been introduced by Representative Minor Of
Wisconsin, those concurring with him in
the measure being Messrs. Stevens of Min
nesota, Jones of Washington and Fordney
of Michigan. The bill follows the general
plan of the original bill, but makes num-
Der of amendments. The most important
of these as summed up by Mr.. Stevens and
Mr.. Minor, are as follows:
The period of the subsidy Is limited so
that vessels built since January l. 1900,
shall have subsidy for twenty years, with
full rate for the first ten years and slight
decrease for the remaining ten years. Yes
sells built before January l. 1900. have the
full subsidy for ten years. The original bill
fixes twenty years the period for the
subsidy.
The substitute bill also provides that YES
sells outward bound shall carry cargo ag-
gregating one-half of the gross tonnage for
which they draw compensation, making al
lowance of space for tonnage, so that per-
ishable goods and light manufactured goods
shall be regulated by space instead of
weight. Deductions for passenger and mail
space on passenger steamers are made in
order to ascertain cargo capacity.
Another change places all vessels built
abroad on the same basis in respect to CON-
pensation, instead of classifying them.
In determining compensation the test for
speed Is increased from four to six hours,
with average speed for that time.
There is prohibition against payment of
compensation to any vessel peculiarly con-
structed for the transportation of mineral
oils only.
AS a means of eliminating old and I'M
serviceable vessels, provision is made that
all vessels receiving compensation shall re-
cptVp and maintain the highest claSSifica-
ton in the Lloyds similar standard reg
lister There is a provision for the admis-
sion to American registry of all ships pur-
chased abroad by the United States during
the war with Spain and now under the
American flag. 1t is also provided that
there shall be an inspection and classified
ton of vessels needed for government pur-
poses. and an approval by naval officers
Such vessels shall not be sold outside of the
United States without consent of the gov
eminent.

AOA
Aroused Enthusiasm
Gov Stone of Pennsylvania made an ex-
ceptionally happy address and aroused his
AUDITORS to intense enthusiasm.
Il cannot boast of PENNSYLVANIA as the
great fighting state" he said, "for that
would be taking an unfair advantage of
the absence of the governor of Kentucky"
rms witty remark brought out peals of
laughter that continued several minutes.
Il, too he continued, IAN glad to come
back to Washington, after an absence of a
few months. 1 am proud of our Washing
ton The city does not belong to the peo-
pie of Washington, but it belongs to the
people OF all the states. The people of
Washington have nearly all come from
one OF these states. There are very few
natives of the federal city. You are the
delegates of the states and territories, and
the best evidence of your capacity to rep
resent the states is this magnificent
ganiZation, the Washington board of trade.
This invitation of governors is a new fea-
ture of your enterprises but it is one that
l hope will continue
Il am in favor of everything that makes
Washington more beautiful and more
grand. Your buildings and streets should
be the finest in the world, for is not this
the mecca OF the people of these states.
Our sons come here on their bridal tours
and our old men return to spend their de-
Ginning years. They walk to the Capitol,
and, gazing at their old seats, drop a pass
ing tear for departed colleagues. I am
proud of the past of Washington and hope
full of the future. No one in Pennsylvania
begrudges one cent of the money that went
into the Congressional Library, will
they begrudge any money spent in beau
tifyins the city with other buildings and
improvements. We like to come down here
and go home and tell our folks of the beau
ties of the capital city. You who live here
are the chosen few; you are the trustees of
the nation, and may you all live long and
prosper"
Washington Belongs to All.
Governor Thomas of Colorado also made
an eloquent speech. evoking much enthus-
iasm. Washington" he declared, ''is the
permanent capital of the United States, and
belongs to Us all. We in Colorado glory in
washington as our city, and, like the people
of pennsylvania, do not begrudge dollar
spent in public improvements here. In all
seriousness, l would like to suggest a mu-
nicipai hall for Washington that would ex-

Dolls were buried with children's
mummies in Egypt.
The girls of ancient Hindustan had
ivory dolls, and in Greece even jointed
dolls were sold in the market place.
The girls of the middle ages had not
only dolls, which must have been the
fayorite playthings, if we can judge
from the allusions of the poets. but
also dolls houses aud dolls wagons.
a number of carthen dolls represent
ing babies and armored knights We're
found under the Nuremberg pavement
in 1853. These dolls date from the
fourteenth century. The hole in one of
them Is for the reception of the ''LA
thenpfennig." or godparents' gift.
The boy doll, generally mounted, was
also a fayorite with the middle age mot
middle aged girl.
The children of those times were NOT
exacting. Colored eggs, painted wood
en- birds, bladders filled with peas, lit

animal figures were thankfully re-

The boys had hobbyhorses, paper
windmills and marbles. a verse of the
seventeenth century bewails the de-
struction of pockets by the last named.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.


Any number of amusing and pretty
Easter tokens may be made from egg
shells. Here is one representing a jolly
friar which any boy or girl can manu-
facture. His eyes, ears and mouth,
with the lines upon his face, may be
drawn with a soft lead pencil or, better
still painted with water colors.
The nose is modelled in wax or putty
Some bits of flax or cotton stuck to the
crown of the head with mucllage for
hair and a fluffy chiffon or silk rufIle
fastened about the neck. and the friar
is complete. The head may be attach
ed to the fiat bits of flannel sewed to-
gether for a penwiper. The contents
of the egg have of course been removed
before any attempt is made to deco
rate the shell. A pair of gilt paper
spectacles will add to the friar's
quaintness of expression.
A dainty tea set made entirely from
eggshells is another Easter concelt. II
the maker has any skill with the brush,
there is no limit to the aesthetic effects
to be secured. A tiny tray may be
