AGREEMENT ON SCHEDULES.
The Secretary of War Intends Pre-.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The Republican
members of the ways and means com
mittce have decided to present the bill for
the reduction of the revenue TO the full
committee on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 10
o'clock The bill, however, probably will
be prepared some time before that.
Commissioner Wilson of the internal
revenue bureau was before the committee
for some time, giving information con-
cerning the effect of the reduction of GER
tain schedules and also as to the amount
Of revenue raised by portions of the pres
ant law which it is proposed to reduce.
The committee has agreed on number
IF schedules to be reduced, while ON 9TH
ers there is a disagreement. 1t is proba-
BILE that subcommittee soon will be APP
pointed to make a final draft of the meas
ure.
Army Reorganization.
All preparations for bringing home the
volunteer troops now in the Philippines
have been suspended pending the action
of congress with reference TO the army
reorganization bill. 1t is now almost GER
tain that the work of transporting the
volunteers back to the United States will
not begin until about Jan. ]. Before 60
ing TO Cuba Secretary Root directed that
the officials of the war department look
into the subject with a view to bringing
it to his attention early in January.
Recent reports from the Philippines, in.
cluding General MacArthur's declaration
that he could not spare any of the mill
tary force now in the archipelago has
convinced the war department authori-
ties that there can be no material rcduc-
tion Of the troops in the Philippines for
some time and that every volunteer rcgi-
ment will have 10 be replaced if returned
to the United States.
To do this will require the passage by
congress Of q bill authorizing i'm army Of
! about 100000 men, and the present intcn-
tlGn of the secretary of war is to have
presented 10 congress as soon ~ possible

A Dangerous Courtship.

TRANSLATED BY ALEX. SCHAAP.
Copyright. 1900: Daily Story Pub. Coz
Since Aslaug, knut Husaby's pretty
daughter, had grown into a young and
charming woman, there was little
peace in the village of Husaby. Day
and night the hardy lads Of the neigh
borhood engaged in wordy and fistic
quarrels on her account. The climax
was reached in the inn on Saturday
night, when some Of the boys had i'm
bibed too much.
Knut Husaby would not think in
those days of going to sleep on Satur-
day night without keeping his big
leather boots on. He was also sure to
have heavy oak cane next to his bed
for emergency. as he called it. "Since
God has bestowed a pretty daughter
on me, it will be my duty to keep her
from HARM" he would say.
Thore Naesset was the son Of the
butcher, a strapping young fellow, full
of grit and daring. Gossipers said that
Thore visited Aslaug more frequently
than did any Of the other young men
of the village This rumor did not
please Knut. In fact. he denied 1t,
saying that he had never seen Thore
and Aslaug together. But the people
laughed and winked at this. They in
sisted that Thore was sly lover and
that Aslaug knew how to hoodwink her
father.
The spring came, and Aslaug drove
the cattle to the top Of the Aim noun

Naesset. Some OF the rich peasants
sons of the neighborhood thought that
1t was a shame tnat this common
butcher was permitted to lord it thus
on top OF the mountain and to keep
all wooers away from the beautiful As
laug.
Old Knut was of the same opinion
when he was told Of the bold doings Of
Thore and he boasted everywhere that

despite this he would now and then

Only one path led to the top Of the
Aim, and it wended its way across
Knut's farm. On the following Satur-

THE S BIB BATH.

This is the day of rest;
Our falling strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Send Thou thy freshening dew.
This is the day Of peace;
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
This is the day of prayer;
Let earth to heaven draw near:
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there;
Come down TO meet us here.
This Is the first Of days;
Send forth thy quickening breath.
And wake dead souls to love and praise
o vanquisher Of death.

Electricity and Modern Navies.

One of the Improvements in the new
battleship Kentucky is the increased
use of electricity instead of steam says
writer in Munseys Magazine. The
of a trolley line so far as her subsidi-
ary engines are concerned. There is a
motor which performs each particular
work, and instead of a oroiling steam
pipe running to it an electric wire con-
meets it with the central engines. The
steam is kept where it belongs in the
boiler room. This is a great economy
Of space, and the discomfort it saves
the officers and crew is not easily
measured.

The British possession of Mauritt-

of things British. The newspapers,
Of which there are nine or ten pub
lished here, are with two exceptions
violently antiBritish, says the Lon
don Mail. They constantly speak Of
the "undying hatred of the natives
for the English, and stigmatize the
British residents as pigs, thieves,
drunkards and almost every other
Objectionable thing they can imagine.
Although Mauritius has been a Brit
ish possession since 1910, it is as anti
British as ever. Out of population
of 100000, 270,000 are Indian natives
engaged in the sugar industry About
10000 Of the rest are white and COL
ored creoles Not only the creoles,
but an enormous number Of the In
dians, as well as the Chinese shop
keepers, use the French language, and
all the newspapers, except one, are
published in French. In all law
cases in which an Englishman is in
volved the newspapers invariably side
against him, and heap abuse on his
head so long as the matter remains
before the public. Sir Charles Bruce
is constantly derided and ridiculed in
these disgraceful journals, which, In
deed, vie with the gutter press OF
Paris in vituperation and calumny.

day night when Thore wanted to as
cend the mountain and was passing by
the side of the barn, he suddenly felt
the grip of strong arm around his
throat.
What do you want Of me?" asked
Thore. He swung himself around
dextrously and threw his assailant
into the thicket.
You will know soon enough what
we want Of you." said another, who
dealt him severe blow on his breast.
This was Aslaug's brother.
Here comes the third one." re-
Joined Old Knut, who had meanwhile
managed to extricate himself from the
bushes, and with these words Thor re-
csived another telling blow.
In the face Of danger Thor's strength
was doubled. His prowess came him
to stead. for two muscular giants had
attacked. In the end, however. de-
spite his agility and power, Thore got
hard beating and when blood began
to flow freely Knut called halt and
added:
Now, Thore, II you can best my
brother. Wolf Husaby, and his son
next Saturday night, then my lass will
be yours"
Thore was so badly injured that he
had to remain in bed over Sunday. On
Monday also he was so worn out from
the fight that he was not able to 60 to

shine frightened his room. He heard
the bells of the grazing cattle and his
beloved warbled her pretty Morse
songs and yodels till he thought his
heart would break.
Wednesday came and he still Ian
guished on his couch. He did not be-
come convalescent until Saturday
morning, and then he was not well
enough to meet Knut's challenge to
battle with his big brother and
nephew. He looked longingly toward
the narrow path which led to the side
of Aslaug. His sweetheart's yodel
again trilled through the silent valley.
He knew that If he would attempt to
make his way to her that evening he
would receive another druhbing that
would send him to bed for some tine

he unmoored his boat and rowed along
the shore Of the almost perpendicular
rock, hoping against hope to find some
