Mr. Hale then called up the naval ap-

ing on the amendment of Mr.. Chandler
substituting in Mr.. Tillman's amendment
$425 for $500 as the price of armor. The
amendment was rejected % to 27. Mr..

and proceed to erect an armor factory to
cost not to exceed $4,000 600, one-half of
which amount is made Immediately
available. The committees proposition
carried by vote of 80 to 10. The secre-
tary of the navy is directed to purchase

Just before adjournment Mr.. Nelson, of

The next proposition of the committee
provided for the purchase Of five Holland
submarine torpedo boats at a price of
$4,000 each, and it was adopted after
some debate with an amendment, making
the purchase mandatory. During this
debate Mr.. Teller denounced the army
ordinance board as incompetent and said
he would vote for twenty of the Ho land
boats to be built to allay the sensitive
ness and apprehension of our sea coast
cites, and he would therefore support the
amendment Of MIR Stewart
The committee amendment appropriate
ing $250,00O for the purchase OF Gathman
guns and ammunition was withdrawn.
The amendment was adopted providing
in effect for the removal Of the navat
station at Port Royal, 5. c., to Charles

thorized oexamine the changing Of the

provides that there must be a depth Of
water Of at least thirty feet at the new
station.
Mr.. Hale in advocating the amendment,
said the committee felt that no more
good money ought to be sent after bad at
Port Royal.
Mr.. Chandler offered an amendment re-
quirng the number of armored cru, ,sers
provided for in the bill from three to two
and the number of protected cruisers
from three to two. His purpose in offer
ing it, he said was to direct attention to
the fact that we are expending too much
money for our navy and too little for the
development of our merchant marine.
There is now a bill before this senat, -
said he, providing for the developme mt
of our merchant marine which calls fol
no larger appropriation than necessary
for the construction of two first class
war vessels. I hope that congress will
not adjourn until it has brought this
shipping bill to a vote"
| Il have not the slightest idea" sale
! Mr.. Teller, that the shipping bill viii
be taken up until after congress ad
journs."
Il am not great party leader re
piled Mr.. Chandler sarcastically, ''bu
there is no reason why we should rusl
away from here before we pass tbs bal

marine"
Mr. Hale expressed belief that he an,
the senator from New Hampshire woul
be older men than ey now were befor

Mr.. Chandler withdrew the amendment
The bill then passed.
The senate then passed the free home

circulation since the passage of the finan-
cial bill, he said, had increased $36l52, ,OSl.
Mr.. Corliss, Michigan, had read a letter
from a native Porto Rican enthusiastic
ally endorsing the action of congress in
passinf the Porto Rican tariff law.
Mr. Green, Pennsylvania, urged higher
taxation of oleomargarine.
Mr. DeArmond Missouri, ridiculed the
letter read by Mr.. Corliss. He described
the ecstasy with which the native popu-
lation must hav ereceived the views that
they were to be governed by 'carpet-bag-
gers" who, he said would take every
thing portable and nail down everything
they could not carry away.
1t would be the "sad and shameful
story of carpet-baggism in the south over
again"
Mr. DeArmond charged the administra-
ton with cowardice for allowing no Of
fetal utterance in sympathy to go out to
the Beers struggling in South Africa to
repeat the splendid story of the Ameri-
can revolution.
He concluded by charging that there
was either a secret understanding with
| Great Britain or an American admnis-
tration trucking to wealth and power
had overlooked and forgotten the rights
of humanity.
Mr.. Underwood, Alabama, offered an
amendment to allow all the employees or
the house one months extra pay. To it
Mr.. Cannon raised a point of order which
was sustained by the chair and then by
the house on appeal.
A bill was passed to authorize the Sem
eca Telephone Company to construct and
operate lines in the Indian Territory.

Against Claim Jumpers.

largely attended meeting of Marion
county mine owners was held at Yell
willie last week and the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We the miners of Marion
county, have for the past fifteen years
had rules and regulations demanding
and requiring the miners to do at least
twenty days work ON their claims no
more and no less, as assessment work
and,
Whereas, This regulation has never
during the entire fifteen years been
questioned by any of the miners of this
county and,
Whereas, Several thousand acres of
land has already been patented under
this regulation and miners have devel-
oped mines and brought the country to
its present development under this sys-
tenn, and,
Whereas, A few men hailing from
other sections of the country together
with few of our own citizens, with a
view to get something for nothing have
jumped the claims of miners (who have
worked in good faith) upon the plea
that twenty days is not one hundred
dollars worth of labor, be it therefore
RESOLVED: That we the miners of the
Marion County Mining District do de-
nounce the action of the aforesaid men
to come as thief in the night to rob
the miner of the fruits of his honest
toll and furthermore that we propose to
band ourselves together as a body to
protect ourselves in a legal way against
such men, believing that not only our
personal prosperity but the prosperity of
the county demand that these aforesaid
jumpers be made TO make tight the
wrong they have done to our fellow
miners.
Be it further understood that this
resolution applies to only the miners
who have fulfilled the requirements and
have faithfully performed the twenty
days labor as prescribed by the local
Rules and Regulations of the Marion
County Mining District and does not
apply to those who have not made
proper location or those who have failed
to do the twenty days work and be it
RESOLVED: That we, the miners of
the Marion County Mining District,
hereby agree to protect as far as possible
the claim of the nonresident investor
who has purchased claims in this coun-
ty and has faithfully performed his
duty in person and through agents, ac-
cording to local Rules and Regulations
of this District.

Just a Little Dollar.

Just little dollar ON its mission
sent, makes lot of people glad each
time a coin is spent. You pay it to
the butcher tor meat to give you
strength, he takes it to the grocer,
from whom it goes at length; some
pretty bit of cloth or lace, his better
half to buy, or help to get her winter
hat to make her rival sigh. The dry
goods man sends on the coin to pay
his market bill, and though the coin
is often spent, it stays a dollar still;
and every time tbs spent at home,
some act Of good is done, in boom
ing local industries ere the setting
of the sun.
But if you take that shining coin
and break the local chain, the
chances are that from afar twill not
not return again. If once it passes
out of town, the butcher and the
baker, the grocer and the dry goods
man, the cook, the undertaken, the
carpenter the carriage wright. the
blacksmith every one-will lose the
chance to touch that coin ere the set
ting of the sun.
Just keep the little coin at home,
just keep it moving well, and evs
time it changes hands, somebody's
goods twill sell. That single little
dollar has thus a wondrous power
to make somebody better a dozen
times an hour. 1t pays the bill and
wards off i'll, and ne'er its power re-
lakes, to soothe the doctor, buy the
coal and pays for clothes and taxes.
Exchange.

Two British Wars.

1t comes with authority from
Washington that some interesting
developments are about to be un-
earthed relative to the causes which
led up to the Philippine war. 1t is
claimed that the peace commissioners
went to Paris prepared to demand
from Spain only one island in the
Philippines for a naval station.
Soon after their arrival it was dis
closed that Spain desired to sell the
whole archipelago, and had so in
formed the powers of Europe. An
offer from Germany for all of the
Spanish possessions in the Pacific was
then under consideration at Madrid.
Great Britain did not relish the idea
of Germany securing such a a foot
hold, in the Pacific, and interested
itself in the effort to induce this
country to purchase the whole
Philippine archipelago. Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
persuaded the state department. and
Mckinley to yield to the desires OF
Great Britain, and the islands were
bought.
Thus it seems that two wars are
now being fought for the supremacy
of Great Bri tain; one IN Africa, where
its own troops are engaged, and one
in the Philippines, where American
soldiers are being killed for the glory
of Great Britain. If the democrats
in congress can bring this
transaction to light they will defeat
Mckinley for reelection this year.
Our people will hardly relish the
idea of carrying on the war as the
tool OF Great Britain.

The Higher Criticism.

Once upon time there was a
church in a distant town where the
preacher was in the habit of preach
ing able sermons. He was a good
man as becomes a man who preach
es to turn men from evil and make
them want to do right because it is
right, rather than because it is the
fashion.
1t came to pass that certain
worldly man went to that church
because the preacher preached good
sermons, and not to see what the la
lest stYles were for he did not care.
He was man who did not wear a
collar unless he wanted to and fire.
quently not then.
Moreover, he was the kind of a
man whom you have heard about
perhaps; he would do about as he
pleased and no amount of argument
could change his mind.
So he went to church and took
along his son, who has arrived at
the age of ten-ahout that stage
where boy is walking interroga-
ton point. The preacher told about
the man who borrowed a neighbour
AK and chopped AS he did so, the
ak head flew off and fell into the
creek. The man was much distressed
because it was a borrowed ak and
axes had gone up like sixty on ac-
count of the tariff on iron.
Now it so happened that a neigh
Dor was with the man who chopped
and he said to the man in distress:
20, man, where is the ak that fell in
to the water?" And the chopper
being a worldly man and one who
chewed much tobacco and wore felt
boots, said unto him, "Dam6know."
And the man who was a good man
took stick and throwing it into
the water, made few passes and
saying, keno, Cyrano de Bergerac, "
the ak foated. The man who had
borrowed the ak was exceedingly
happy and went to church three
Sundays in succession.
when the preacher was through
telling the story and the worldly
man started home the boy said
Papa, do you believe that iron
will swim?"
And the man not being a theologi-
an, answered as such men always
do:
willie, you must not ask so many
questions. Only men who have
studied theology know everything. "
Some day that boy will be thro wn
out of church for being a "higher
critic"

The Ozark Uplift.

| with the exhaustion OF the Zlne
mines in Wales and on the Cont
nent of Europe. and the increasing
demand for zinc in the construction
of electrical appliances, and in the
cynaide process for the reduction of
gold ore, the development of areas
where the zinc may be mined is
watched with considerable interest
by mining men and manufacturers in
this country. The extent and value
of the Joplin district in Missouri is
well known to every one interested
IN such matters, and they know. too.
Isomething OF the craze to take up
lands in the vicinity of those mines,
which has been much like the seram-
BILE for claims in the gold-producing
sections. South of there, in South
ern Missouri and Northern Arkan-
sas, another zinc field, known as the
ozark Uplift." is the centre of an
other mining fever. Warren H. Loss,
who has recently been through that
district, is back in town full of the
belief that the section will prove, in
its way, to be as valuable an addi-
ton to the country's resources as
have been the vast stretches of cop
per territory that have been reveal
ed "lf only there were facilities for
transportation in that district"
said he, 1--WE oil the East would prob
ably be hearing about as much of
the riches of that district as we do
OF the copper mines of Montana and
the Lake Superior district, or of the
gold fields of Cape Nome, of the
Klondike, and of the Cripple Creek
district. But it is away from all
means of ready transportation, and
there does not seem to be available
capital to build railroads down into
that section. AS the mines there are
at a considerable elevation, they
have none of the trouble in working
them that exists in the Joplin region,
where subterranean streams add so
much to the cost of producing the
ore. They tell me, too, tina. the ore
of the new field is practically free
from iron, and so yields a larger per-
centage of spelter than does the Jop-
lin ore, which statement, of course,
may be due to the enthusiasm of the
people of the new territory, where
the boomer has begun his boom
ing, and the optimistic men see for
tunes within their grasp. But there
is no doubt that there are valuable
mines, rich ores, easy mining, and
only lack of facilities for transporta-
ton to hinder the immediate devel-
opment of a section that is going to
add very materially to the
mineral resources of the country. l
presume there are couple of hun
dred mines in process of develop
ment in the district, and there are
many thousands of tons of ore there
awaiting transportation by wagon
when left. AS the price of zinc has
advanced from something like SIS
ton to about $45 within the past
two years, some idea of the value of
the new district can be gained by the
people of the East. New York
Times.
