WASHINGTON. April 22.--The Senate
will give considerable attention. during the
present week. to questions OF privileges in
volving three seats in the Senate Under
the unanimous consent agreement reached
on the 10th instant. the resolution de-
claring Senator Quay not 10 be entitled
to place in the Senate probably will be
voted upon at o'clock Tuesday. and in
the meantime several speeches viii be
made on the resolution. An intimation has
been given, of possible effort to postpone
the case further on the. ground that there
is not sufficient time left before the date
set for the vote within which to deliver all
the speeches senator's desire 20 make on
the resolution. but il a movement is made
In that direction IL will be stoutly resisted.
1t would be exceptional occurrence IL
the unanimous agreement should be set
aside. Among those who are expected TO
speak in Mr.. Quay's behalf are Senators
Penrose and Chandler. while Senator'S
Platt OF Connecticut. Hale and Lindsay
probably will speak in opposition TO his
claims. The leaders on both sides are
claiming victory, but they do not, in
either case, give figures on the result.
After the Quay vote is taken. Senator
McComas. who as a member OF the COM
mittee on privileges and elections has had
charge of the protest against Senator
Scott's continuing TO occupy his seat as a
Senator from West Virginia. will call up
the resolution in that Senator's behalf and
ask for immediate consideration. The pros
pect is that there will be little or no de-
bate on this resolution as the report OF the
committee is I'm line with Senate pre-
cedents. The report of the committee on
elections In the Clark case as positively
announced. will be made Monday. and il
is the intention OF the committee 10 ask
that ii be taken up as soon as the Quay

upon any line of action until the report OF
the committee is made public II he should
elect to continue the contest there would
be more or less delay for the preparation
of speeches.
II is expected that a vote will be reached
on the Alaskan code bill during the week,
an agreement having been practically
reached TO withdraw the contested amend
ments and otherwise amend the bill so as
to extend the provisions of the mining law
of the United States to Alaska
The Philippine bill will continue 10 hold
its place as unfinished business on the
calendar, but ii is likely to receive COM
paratively little attention during the week.
The army appropriation bill will be taken
up as soon as the election cases are dis
posed of. The Notifications and agricul-
tural appropriations will be reported soon.
and these also may be taken up as soon as
opportunity permits. The Hawaiian con-
ference report will be acted upon early in
the week 4

Would Christ Belong to "A Labor

So many efforts have been made of late
to tell just what Christ would do If he were
on earth again in person, almost, indeed. to
the extent of trying to impersonate the
Savior, that the title of this book is apt. at
first glance, to repel. 1t need not. however.
1t is a very good story of the I'm His
Steps" school, and deals earnestly and
forcefully with some of the great social
problems of the day from the workings
mans point Of view and from the Chris
tan point of view. The author, Rev. d.
Cortland Myers, of Brooklyn, grasps. with
remarkable firmness. many of the great
truths concerning the relations of capital
and labor, and also concerning the work.
ingman's relations to the church, and he
has embodied his ideas IN the form of a
story which has real interest and carries a
pretty romance. The story seems likely to
attract attention among earnest and think
ing people. New York: Street & Smith.

This little volume had curious origin.
The real name of its author is William J..
Kountz, or was. for he died in August last.
He was business man rather than pro-
fessional writer, but would probably have
made his mark as a humorist had he lived.
The Billy Baxter Letters were originally
written as advertisements for mineral
water, but they were so original, unique.
witty and humorous that they were more
widely read for what they were than for
what they advertised. No writer of recent
times has shown better command of high
class American slang and humor of the
Bill Nye school. Collected in pretty little
book form they will doubtless be enjoyed
by a great many people who read for fun
rather than for Improvement. The book is

This little volume, by E. Francis Soule.
is designated oil the tit-e page as "A Moth
er Book" meaning, thereby, book for the
use of mothers. One of the perplexities fac
ing a conscientious mother who wishes TO
train her children to keep the Sabbath day

and brightness. Is how to occupy the after
noon hours. When there is no Sunday

is apt to hang heavy on both children and
parents. The oid-time ''strict observance"
is hardly possible. even If II were desirable,
and a relapse into idling or boisterous play
is neither profitable nor commendabe. This

Frances Aymar Matthews, author of "A
Married Man" The opening story, which
gives it's title to the volume. is an end-cf-

society there, but. having gone abroad and
taken a course in a sort of finishing school.

the management of an ambitious mother

season. Pretty soon she marries a noble
man. who is himself immensely rich. and
adores her, but who, she thinks. is marry
ing her for her money. Their marriage is
followed by a series Of misunderstanding
which nearly lead to a separation, but ev-
erything is finally Strengthened out and
the story ends happily. 1t is very we'll told.
