oefator ioaf is great Stickler for
the usual and ordinary methods of
procedure in the Senate" He must
have been shocked on the first dav of
the present session. The term of Fran
els NJ. Cockrell, OF Missouri. had ex
PRED on the Sd OF March. He had been
reelected. When the Senate was called
to order at the beginning of the ses
sion. he had no more right to take part
in the proceedings than any spectator
In the galleries. When Senator Penrosc
presented the credentials of Matthew
Stanley Quay. MIR. Cockrell moved that
the credentials be referred to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections Ten
minutes afterward Cockrell was sworn
in as Senator. The Record shows this
clearly, proving that he took mart in
the proceedings while he was not
member OF the Senate No such per-
Torrance as this could happen In the
House. 1t is hardly astonishing that Mr..
Ccckrcll should make such blunder.
for he has been n member or The Sen
ate since 1879, when he succeeded Carl
Shurz. II is singular. however. that
such q glaring breach OF privilege
should have been overlooked by Sena-
tor Hoar and other deacons OF senate
rial procedure. 1t is possible, however
that the suggestion of Mr.. Cockrell-
not Senator Cookrell-niay he stricken
out of the revised Record.
The difference between the House and

where a king who had some little aNall-

whims of such a lofty partner, was
singuIarly unresponsiYe and at first did
not answer the query
King Leopold. however. who had al
ready made exhaustive inquiries IN the

most favorable replies concerning
Walsh's uprightness and financial sol

His royal highness overwhelmed
Walsh with such attentions that the
latter finally realized the advantages
OF such a partnership. which, in addi-
ton to bringing him high social dis
tinction would also provide him with
unlimited capital for the execution or
some of his vast projects
After a few weeks consideration
Walsh finally yielded, through the rep

people dress much as they do in the
cities of the United States, a man with

and one can walk the town over with
polished shoes and not have them
SOiled.''
Dawson City does not appear like a
mining town. states Consul McCOok,
but rather thriving commercial cen
ter 1t is crowded just now, for more
come in than go out. Electric railways
are promised by 1901, and public schools
have been opened and are well at

The output of gold has been increas-

that the average values of the gravels
worked have been steadily declining,
the richest mines having been worked
frs But meantime the cost of work
ing. has decreased, and enables proper
