The failure OF the two constitutional

A Joke on Reed.

a good story is told in West Vir-
ginia involving two of the congress-
men from that snug little state and
Thomas B. Reed, the gigantic speaker
of the last house. The two West Vir-
ginians are Blackburn B. Dovener and
Romeo Hoyt Freer. Both are small in
stature and wonderfully alike in their
general appearance. Together they
went up to the ponderous Maine man
to be introduced.
"Humph!'' said Mr.. Reed, sis that
the best the Persimmon state can
do?''
''What do you mean?'' asked Mr..
Freer.
Nothing drawled the elephantine
speaker. 81 was only wondering at
the uniformity of things down your
way I suppose the horses are all
ponies and the persimmons all
dwarfs-''
''Wen,'' interrupted Mr.. Freer.
"there is one thing in our favor, the
persimmOn has more taste than the
pumpkin
The laugh was on the speaker, and
he acknowledged it by cordially grasp
ing the hands of the 1illiputfans and
joining in the merriment.- Success.

WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING.
from Day TO Day in Condensed Form
Resolutions and BUS

After having been under consideration
more than two months, the Alaskan civil
code bill was passed by the senate on
the 1St. The army appropriation bill
carrying supplies for the military estab-
lishment of more than $114.O0O, co., was
then taken up debate on trusts was
precipitated by amendment offered by
Senator Berry (Ark.) providing that the
Quartermaster's department should not
purchase supplies from any recognized
trust. The amendment was defeated
Senator Harris (Kan.) had passed a res
olutiOn calling upon the secretary of the
interior for information as to the flow
OF the Arkansas river and as to con-
serving the waters of that stream for
the benefit of Colorado and Kansas The
house debated the Nicaraguan canal BILL
holding also night session on the same
measure.
When the senate convened on the I'd
Senator Gallinger IN. HI presented a me-
mortal from the Union Veterans union
complaining about the governments pen
sion policy and made the memorial the
text for a speech in which he maintained
that the criticisms were unjust. Sena-
tor Sewel1 IN. j. secured the passage of
a bill to establish the Fredericksburg
and adjacent national battleheIds me-
mortal park in Virginia. The army ap-
preparation bill was then considered.
The house at the conclusion of a stormy
| debate passed the Nicaragua canal bill
by 225 to 35 All attempts to retain in
the measure the language of the orig
inaI bill for the fertilization of the canal
were baked
The army appropriation bill was passed
by the senate on the Sd, after a rather
spirited debate, without division. A res
olution requesting the civil service COM
mission to supply information confirm
ing violations Of the civil service law in
1898 was adopted. The day closed with
the passage of 137 private pension bills
THE house passed the free homes
bill which has been pending before CON
greSs for a number of years. The bill
provides that the government shall issue
patents to actual bona fide settlers on ag-
ricultura1 lands of Indian reservations
opened to settlement.
The senate on the 18th, after a debat tie
lasting only three hours, passed the ar
my reorganization bill. In military cir
Giles the measure is regarded as one of
the most important of the present ses-
sion. The Notifications appropriation
bill, carrying $7,73 ,62S, was also passed.
After a short executive session an ad-
Journment was taken to the 9TH. The
house made fair progress with the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, completing
% of the 1872 pages of the bill. Mr.. Par
ker (NGd.) introduced bill repeating the
Chinese exclusion laws and making the
general immigration laws applicable to
Chinese who shall prove themselves able
to read the constitution of the United
States in English or the Chinese Ian
guage.
The senate was not in session on the
5th.. The house passed the sundry civil
bill. It carries slightly more than $751;
100000 The senate amendments to the
army appropriation bill were disagreed
to and the bill was sent to conference.

His Offer.

A generous if not alluring offer was
that made by an eXasperated physi-
clan to the penurious father of an
insane young man. The old man
wished to secure his sons admission
to the insane asylum, but unwilling
to pay for the necessary certificate.
After hearing his plea of poverty
which the doctor knew to be false
and hearing him also tell of the man:
expenses to which he had been put
by his ungratefu1 children, the physi-
clan waved his hand to end the
recital. CHOW see here,'' he said,
sharply, you just pay me for this
one, and I'll give you a certificate for
yourself whenever you wish to use it,
for nothing!''- Companion.

the evening the admiral attended a

BRYAN AND ToWNE.
Conference of Democrats and POpulists In
Chicago Said to Have Resulted In
Agreement on National Ticket.

Chicago, May THE Chronicle to-
day says: Bryan and Towne-that
was the way the probable democratic,
populistic and Lincoln republican ma
tional ticket was framed up as the re-
suit of a conference Saturday after
noon between the leaders of the three
parties at the Sherman house. The
presidential nomination was not dis
cussed, as being a foregone conclu-
sion, but when the conferees had
delved into the puzzle of the vice
presidential situation, Charles A.
Towne, of Duluth, Mimi, stood on a
pinnacle of Importance that dwarfed
other possibilities. The populist rep
resentatives at the conference were
Senator Marion Butler, of South
Carolina, chairman of his party's ma
tional committee; James B. Weaver,
of lava, and Congressman George
SHIRLEY, of Virginia. The republicans
were represented by Senator Petit
grew, of South Dakota, and ex-Sena-
tor Fred Z. Dubois, of Idaho.

OTIS A HARD WORKER.
Manila Dispatch Says the General Has Left

PrOvisiOned and Clothed.

Manila, May 6.-The transport
Meade sailed for the United States
at five o'clock Saturday afternoon
with Maj. Gen. Otis and two aides-de-
camp on board. The warships in port
fired a major generals salute as the
steamer raised her anchor. During
the morning the supreme court
judges and many officers called at the
palace to bid farewell to Gen. Otis,
who kept at work with his accus-
toned energy until the moment of
leaving. Since the beginning of the
instruction Gen. Otis has kept his
desk from early morning until mid
night. He has never been seen on the
luneta like the other officers and only
two or three times has he been in So
ciety and these occasions were semi
official receptions. The general leaves
the army admirably organized, pro-
visiOned and clothed.

EDWIN WILDMAN's VIEW.
The Former Vice Consul at Hong Kong
Says There Is "A Reign of Terror
in the Philippines

New York, May Edwin Wildman,
former vice consul at Hong Kong,
contributes an article on ga Reign of
Terror in the Philippines to Les
lies Weekly. He says in brief: CAL
though Gen. Otis would have US be-
lieve that the war in the Philippines is
over, learn from private sources of
information of the highest authori-
ty that there exists a veritable reign
of terror in most parts of the archi-
pelago within gunshot from our army
posts. Either Gen. Otis is blind to
the situation or is keeping the real
facts from the American people. If
we ever hope to put an end to this
Indian warfare me must send addi-
tional forces to the islands. Our pres
ent corps is totally inadequate to
cope with the situation and bring the
war to a cIose.'

TEXAS TORNADO.
One Sweeps Over Denton County and
Wrecks Many BuiIdings-The Wires Are
Down and the News Meagre.

Dallas, Tex, May IA severe tor
nado swept over Denton county, Tex,
at late hour yesterday afternoon
and many buildings were wrecked
and it is believed several fatalities oc-
Cured. Telegraphic and telephone
communication is completely inter-
rupted and advices from the storm
stricken country are very meagre. At
Garsa, small town in Denton coun-
ty, more than one-third of the houses
in the village were wrecked by the
storm, but fortunately no one was
killed. At Little Elm, in the same
county, tornado descended upon
the town, demolishing several houses
and injuring several people. All wires
are down north of Dallas and it is
feared the cyclone wrought much
damage in that vicinity.

bassador, Saturday signed a treaty
extending for sevent months from

details of the Wilsonville tornado.
Many farm houses were destroyed.
The hailstones were as large as base

west and north of Wilsonville were
the greatest sufferers, much live
stock being killed by the storm and
the damage to crops and fruit trees
was great.
