he had made an investigation and had
official figures to show thai the average
age Of eleven hundred Of the clerks re-
nstatcd by the present administration,
exceeded GO years, and he naturally
thought these reinstatements explained
large part Of the complaints about in
efficient clerks being kept in Office.
A caucus of democratic Senators was
held to discuss the general line OF opposi-
ton to the republican policy towards the
island possessions of the u. s. A commit
tee was authorized to confer with the
democrats OF tle House, with a view to
having the party in both branches of
Congress act along the same lines.
While no programme was adapted, there
was unanimous sentiment In favor Of
continuing the opposition, and a com
mittee was authorized to arrange pro-
gramme.
Ex-Governor Peck, of bad Boy"
fame, is one of the two hundred citizens
Of Wisconsin who are whooping up
Milwaukee, as the democratic National
Convention city. He says that every
body tells him Milwaukee will win. but
that the hustling is going to be kept up
until the National Committee decides
where the Convention is to be held.
Notwithstanding numerous denials Of
the story that Boss Hanna had threat
ened to take the Republican National
Convention away from Philadelphia, if
the money promised by the Committee
representing that city to the Republican
National Committee, was not forthcOm-
ing. Such a threatwas made. And as a
result, Boss Hanna has received a check
for $25,0 900 on account, and a promise
that the other $4,000 will be raised and
turned over before the Convention meets
The two democratic members Of the
Conference Committee-Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, and Representative Cox, Of
Tennessee, now considering. the gold
standard bill passed by the House and
the substitute therefor, passed by the
Senate, can do little more than exercise
their right of making a minority report
TO their respective branches Of Congress,
but they can be depended upon 90 do
that in thoroughly democratic manner.
The four republican members Of the
ommittee-Senator Aldrich and Ali
| son, and representatives OYcrstreet and
Brosius, will really make the gold stand
ard bill that viii 20 upon the statute
books, and II Is not for a moment doubt
ed that il will contain the most objec-
tional features Of both measures now uu-
der consideration. NIyJs

although the weight Of many years and them
firmities consequent thereto bore heavily upon
her, she never faltcred by the wayside. but
persevered in Christian duty and fixed her
thoughts and gaze steadfastly upon the torch
OF salvation.
She was a dcvout and unflinehing member
Of the Holy Roman Catholic Church all the
days OF her long life. thoroughly nractleed in
all its sacred precepts. and died In the belief Of
the soul-inspiring words SO clearly defined IN
the holy Gospel; HE that eateth my body
and drinketh my blood shall have everlasting
life. and will raise him up on tho last day.
When the shadows Of the evening of life be-
gan TO hover about her, she indeed could look
back and say in truth ! have borne the heat
and toll Of the day. am now ready 70 receive
my reward The church was the bright Star
that lit up her pathway through life. In her
darkest hours of earthly trouble, her solace,
her comforters were her books aud her beads.
Weep not, kindred and friends, f.I' her trials
are changed unto everlasting hap .dess. and
let us ppay. God that we who mourn her loss
may have the q prage and fortltude to live as
pure life asa did and die rs happily.
May her soul rest in God forever. Amen.

BALrTMoRE, February 10, 19OO

DALIiMOKE, 10 APOo'
have not been in Annapolis since
Wednesday, having that day been called
to Baltimore by a telegram from DR..
Baden announcing the serious sickness
of Mrs. Charlotte Fenwick. Mrs. Ecu
wick has suffered from complication
of la grippe and erysipelas and but little
hope is entertained of her recovery. She
is in her 18th year
AS you have seen, the Legislature has
passed an Act recognizing the School
Boards of the State and providing for
minority representation thereon. The
Act passed the House by party vote,
except that Krems, republican, Of Anne
Arundel, voted with the democrats in
favor of the bill.
The democrats are still keeping up
their record for retrenchment and have
refused to vote stationery and stamps to
House employees. 1t is to be hoped that
the party will make an economical rec
ord and will not save at the spigot and
lose at the bung.
We have had quite snowfall here
and many sleighs are out. Indeed, at
one time it looked as if we were in for
a repetition of the blizzard Of February
1899 Baltimore is a nice place, but
must confess that ! prefer St. Mary's
county, particularly in winter.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular CorrespoudcutJ

from our Regular Correspondent
WAsmNaToN, February 10, 1900
No President ever made more abiccl
surrender than Mr. Mckinley has made
on the Porto Rican tariff bin now before
the House. He stated positively in his
annual message that be favored free
trade for Porto Rico, and when the re
publicaus in the House first talked about
putting q duty on Porto Rican products,
he even went so far as to intimate TO
democrats he met that he would be glad
if they would help defeat the proposed
duty. Now, he has turned complete
somersault, and announced, in advance
OF its passage, that he would sign the
bill imposing a 25 per cent. duty, No
wonder republicans in Congress laugh
when Mr., Mckinley is spoken Of as their
leader.
The bill providing territorial form
OF government for Hawaii now before
the Senate, which means that Hawaii,
will ultimately become a STATE naturally
raises the question ofwhy the nawaiians
should be 30 much better treated than
the Porto Ricans? Surely no one out
side Of the clique which is shaping the
republican policy can see any good rea-
son for making Hawaiians American
citizens and the Porto Ricans Colonial
subjects.
Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, in adj
dition to making a public and most pos
tive denial Of the story published over
the signature Of Jay G. Holland, an al
legged Florida detective, charging him
with having conspired with Major @.
w. Ruthers, U. S. A., and Mr. 9. 3. Rog-
ers, Of Florida, to defraud the govern
ment in connection with the salc of a
lot Of bacon, has had Holland arrested
for crimina'libcl, and employed eminent
lawyers TO assist in prosecuting him.
Senator Taliaferro expressed the opinion
that ex- Senator Call had something to
do with the publication Of Hollands
story, but Mr., Call says he had nothing
whatever to do with it.

can deal with facts as well as humor, as
he showed while the House was discuss
ing the responsibility for the confessed
ly large number OF inefficient clerks on
the government pay rolls in Washington.
When Mr.. Allen got up to speak, those
VINO can see in him only the humorist,
expected something funny" bnt they
didn't get it. Although inclined to take
many things humorously, Mr.. Allen is
oae Of the hardest working members of
the Appropriation committee. He began
his speech by saying that there was suf-
icient law to get rid Of clerks who be-
come inefficient from age or other causes
and that the department. officials should
not be allowed to saddle the blame for
their ret ntion upon Congress. He said

APPEARANCE AT SEATTLE.
Eclipse VIII First BE Observed Here
shortly After 5 O'Clock, ana VIII
Remain Visible More Than Hour.

With favorable weather prevailing early
risers in Seattle this morning Will. Tor the
first time in eleven years. have the priVl-
lege Of witnessing an eclipse OF the sun
In this city the eclipse Will be partiai'
but from New Orleans northwest TO Nor
folk a shadow cast by the moon on the
earth will sweep in a belt fifty miles
broad and move at the rate of sixty-eight
miles an hour. 40.
The sequence OF events at Seattle VIII
be as follows: Sun rises at aga a. m
eclipse begins 500 a. M. maximum OBJ
scuration $50 a. m: eclipse ends $50 a. m.
The dark body of the moon VIII begin
to impinge on the right side of the suns
disc at a point little below the horizon
tai line pointing through the center OF the
disc and will creep thence downward and
to the left. finally leaving it at point a
little to the left of vertical line through
the center. The radius of the coincidal
shadow of the moon will be about 2,l5O
miles during the time of the eclipse at
Seattle. At the time Of the greatest OBJ
scuration 81 per cent, or a trifie over one
third of the suns diameter, will be COW
cred. At any other time during the OBJ
scuration much less than one-third will be
covered.
II is unfortunate the eclipse occurs when
n majority Of persons are asleep. Never
theless, those who take pains to rise in
time will doubtless feel repaid for their
trouble. providing the weather conditions
are favorable.

Men who have been present at the
