washington, April 26.-AlmOSt the
entire session of the senate was devot-
ed to a consideration of the right Of
Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia to
retain his seat in the senate. The case
went over without action. Senator
Pettus (Ala.) spoke in opposition to
the resolution declaring Scott entitled
to his seat Senator Pettus presented
the minority report of the committee
on privileges and elections in the case,
being the only member Of the commit
tee who declined to sign the majority
report.
After having been interrupted Sena-
tor Pettus refused with some heat to
permit an interruption by Senator
Spooner (Wis), who desired to ask a
question.
II shall not yield nor debate this
question:" said the Alabama senator.
ct is not fair and it is not just for a
senator to interrupt an argument for
the purpose of seeing whether he can
debate the question better than the
man on the floor"
I think" said Senator Spooner, sit
would have been courteous in the sem
ator to have assumed that l desired
simply to ask a question
ooh, no." returned Senator Pettus,
cit would not be; I have heard the
senator debate positions after asking
a question. | took necessary pre-
caution. | do not approve of this
practice of interrupting arguments l
believe that a senator has a right to
interrupt and to obtain Information or
to correct mfsstatements but this way
of just bullying into the middle of an
argument is excessively bad manners
even if it does 50 often occur in the
United States senate"
Washington, April 26.-After four
days discussion the house passed the
postoffice appropriation bill. The at
tempt to strike out $4,000 for special
mail facilities from New York to New
Orleans and from Kansas City to New
ton, Kas., met the fate it has ever
since the appropriation was placed in
the bill in 1898. No Ole demanded a
separate vote on the amendment strik-
ing out the pneumatic tube provision.
Mr. Cummings On. W demanded a
separate vote on the amendment pro-
viding extra compensation for letter
carriers for work in excess of 48 hours
week Mr.. Cummings said the
amendment would break down the
eight hour law and was opposed by
letter carriers. It was adopted, how
ever, "A to so. Mr. Hopkins (Ill.)
chairman of the census committee, Sc
cured the passage of a bill to amend
the census act to increase the salary OF
the director from $4,000 to $500 and

the census by sum of two per cent
of the amount paid enumerators in the
supervisors district.

CITY KITCHEN GARDENS.

City cooks need not be without
garden, and the small trouble it takes
to make one is amply repaid. The
box bed for this purpose should have
pipe for drainage. The bottom of
the bed should consist of layer of
oyster shells about two inches deep.
On top of tbs goes good wood earth
into which has been mixed some sand
to make it light
Among the most necessary of the
kitchen plants are parsley and mint
The bed, if filed with these two only,
would be useful. Tarragon can also
be grown in this way. Borage, for
salad-dressing purposes, will thrive all
right in a small bed Chives, small,
odorless onions, not always obtainable
when needed, can be readily cultivat-
ed in the little garden. Sweet marion
am, thyme and sage for soups can be
had in good supply and with little at
tention beyond watering Kitchen
garden enthusiasts have even been
kown to grow tomatoes and gherkins
successfully.
Seeds for most of these plants can
be obtained at times at the depart
ment stores for 1 cent a package
Successful growers say that in the
hottest weather it benefits the plants
to be protected from the sun by COW
ering them with muslin occasionally;
also with a dash of ammonia in the
water for sprinkling helps the growth

Washington, April 27.-The senate
voted upon the resolution declaring
Nathan B. Scott to be entitled to his
seat in the senate from West Virginia,
the number of votes in the negative
being only 3, Senator Turner wash ,
while saying he knew nothing of the
case except what he had heard in the
course of the debate, declared that if
the facts were stated by Senator Pet

Washington April 3O.-Again the
question of expressing sympa-
thy for the beers was thrust
upon the attention of the senate. This
time it came up on a motion to pro-
coed to consideration of the resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Pettigrew
IS. d. which was before the senate
last Saturday. The motion was de-
feated 20 to TO- The conference re-
port on the joint resolution relating
to the administrat ton of civil affairs

appointment of temporary officers in
the island was agreed to. During the
greater part of the session the Alas

Grafton but no progress was made.

large and improve the public building
at Burlington, Iowa, was passed.
Washington, April 30.-The house

powers of the department of agricul-
ture and to prohibit interstate COM
merce in game killed in violation or
local laws. 1t authorizes the secre-
tary of agriculture to provide for the
Introduction and restoration of game,
song and insectivorous wild birds. The
senate bill to create a commission OF
five to investigate and report upon the
commercial and industrial conditions
in China and Japan was debated at
length but was vigorously antagonized
by the democrats and they finally sue
ceeded in striking out the enacting
clause. The bill for constitutional
amendment to disQualify polygamists
for election as senators and represent
atives was referred to the committee
on judiciary after meeting with oppo-
sition from both sides of the house

double action and fraud in the cleo
ton. Senator Chandler. chairman of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons, gave warning that in the next
session the credentials of Mr.. Black
burn of Kentucky would be considered
and if the doctrine established in the
Turpie case from Indiana which has
been recognized as binding by the SEN
ate, was to be Overruled, the senate
would be called upon to go into the
question as to the competency OF the
federal power to go back of the re-
turns of the legislature. The motion
Of Senator Pettus that the report and
resolution be recommitted to the com
mite for full investigation was de-
feated without division. The resolu-
ton declaring Scott entitled to retain
his seat was then adopted, 50 to 8,
the votes in the negative being cast
by Senators Morgan, Pettus and Tur-
ner. Senator Chandler then gave no.
tice that next Wednesday he would
ask the senate to take up the case of
Senator Clark of Montana. In execu-
tive session the senate ratified the

you not anxious now?"
Frodsham was called in again. Then
it was decided that the men-servants
should be reused from their slumbers
and sent out in different directions
The housekeeper had just remember
ed an anecdote of some gentleman
who, walking home quickly at night
had fallen and broken his ankle, and
servants found him in the morning
Something Of that kind might have
happened to Sir Karl
The idea was enough The servants
were called and came in, looking
sleepy and wondering what was the
matter. Sir Karl, they were told, haG
gone out at half-past seven the previ-
Gus evening, intending to return al
half-past nine, but nothing had been
heard of him since. The men were
all there, including James Ashford
the groom who had driven the Squire
home. Dolores, whose wits were
sharpened by suspense, felt sure she
saw an expression of surprise pass
over this mans face.

FIRST CONTRACT IS DOM

ITS FIRST CONTRACT on NEW
STATE CAPITOL
DOME Is NOW LOOMING UP
Its White Proportions Are the Gem

finished.

The board of state capitol commission
er5 were in regular monthly session yes
terday morning and afternoon and dis
cussed the closing up Of the first con-
tract made with the Butler Ryan COM
pany for the roof and walls of the new
state capital.
The contractors have been paid very
nearly three quarters OF a million dol
lars on the original contract, which does
not include the dome contract,
Cass Gilbert, architect CT the building,
Informed the board that the contract had
been competed with the smallest list Of
extras he had ever seen for so large Il
contract. Indeed the list was phtnome-
naIly small much to the credit of the
contractors. The total list would rot ag-
gregate more than ~ per cent of tho
whole contract, and this includes 81, OGO
for the changes ordered IN the south front
by the commission.
The actual extras put In by the con-
tractors, therefore, would not amount to
more than one-half of l per cent, and
much of this was anticipatory of future
needs.
The estimates as allowed yesterday
amounted to $2S5 1913.
The board will direct that the steel
flag stats, three in number, and each
forty-f1ve feet in length, be placed In
position now, in order to save expense.
Each staff will have lightning rod run
ming down the center. The three staffs

Rev. Richard w. Boyngon Formally
Assumes Charge.

Assumes Charge.
Rev. Richard w Boynton was last
evening formally installed as pastor OF
Unity church, Summit avenue and Wa
basha street. ae
The ceremony of installation, simple,
yet replete with warm expressions or
welcome and hope for the future, was
witnessed by a large congregation, while
a number of visiting ministers assisted
in welcoming the new minister to the st.
Paul pastorate.
The order OF services opened with an
organ voluntary and a hymn by the
choir, while the opening prayer was by
Rev. Robert S. Loring, of the Unity
church. of st. Cloud.
The sermon of the evening was deliv-
cred by Rev. Samuel M Crothers, D. D.,
formerly Unity's pastor, now of the First
church, of Cambridge, Mass. His text
was taken from Zechariah. His sermon
was beautiful Interpretation Of the

by Rev. Henry NJ. Simmons, Of the First
Unitarian church, Minneapolis; Rev.
Alexander McGregor Of Park Congrega>-
tional church. st. Paul, and Charles w.
Ames, chairman Of the board Of trustees
of Unity church.
Mr.. Ames spoke for the congregation,
and his tender welcome in -te.eir behalf,
full Of warmth and feeling, was tighten
ed with a humorous recital of what was
expected of the new minister and pointed
reference to the many little laughable
sides connected with the search for a
pastor, now at an end
Rev. Henry M. Simmons also spoke in
happy vein, his address Of welcome
being interspersed with a review Of those
who had gone before, a review of those
who were now aiding in the spread of
Unltarianism through the medium of the
st. Paul church, with touching mention of
those now gone out into the world and
working In chosen fields.
Rev. Alexander McGregor, In his adj
dress Of Welcome, extended a hearty
greeting to Mr.. Boynton and welcomed
him as one Of the fold working for
common cause
In his response Mr. Boynton said he
had regretted leaving the little charge in
Boston, where he had spent the first
five years Of his ministry. but In coming
to st Paul his field Of labor was larger
and greater, and gave to him opportuni
ties that his late charge, owing to its
limitations in size. did not allow. He
asked consideration at the hands Of the
members of the parish, both for himself
and wife, and hoped the future would
merit the warm welcome now extended.

The postofT1ce department is wagire a

Within few days, according to advices
from Chicago, Attorney General E. G.
Akin, Illinois, will bring suit for the can
collation. of the charter of the MetropoIi-
tan Medical college, of Chicago. which
has the same personnel as the old
city.
Some local interest attaches to the
proceedings from that fact that A. E.

5O072 Cedar avenue and at 620h Nicollet
avenue, holds diplomas from both fnsti-
tutions. paying $25 for one and SIS for the
