POLITICAL NOTES. AND GOSSIP.
No Show for RornIy BnI.-one Of the

No Show for Rounty BiI.-One Of the
most conservative members OF the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate said Yesterday
the Payne Hanna SpipISubsidy bill stool
10 show OF getting through at this session.
1t appears that MIR. PaHta has Tried in vain
to get the Republican steering committee
TO give his pet measure the right of way
and that ne at last has appealed to The
White House for aid In his determination
to have the steering committee see the
proposition just as he does, 1t is not be
lieved however, that even if the Pres:-
dent shoul' under take to dictate to the
steering committee in this matter, that
MIR. Hanna's bill would fare any better.
Senator Frye, who is as heartily in fay or
of the bounty scheme as Mr.. Hanna HIM
self is reported TO have had several con-
fsreuces recently with several members
OF the steering committee, and has learne1
from them that if the bill is forced for
ward for consideration il Will proiong the
session indefinitely. The steering COM
mittee conceives one Of its chic: duties at
present to be to push the session through
to a speedy close. The Democrats have
determined to string out the session to the
uttermost Limit If the Hanna-Payne meas
could keep Congress here until after the
Republican National Convention is held,
and as Mr.. Hanna is extremely anxious to
get Congress off the Presidents hands
before that time. Ii seems that he will he
compelled reluctantly to yield his conten-
ton on the Ship Subsidy bill. Another
adverse influence at work is contained in
the attitude OF eight or ten Democrats in
the House. This number of the minority,
all of them representing districts directly
interested in the shipping trade. are
committed to the bounty scheme but they
dare not vote for it at this session. Every
thing considered. therefore, it seems that
the chances are decidedly unfavorable TO
action on the Payne Hanna bill at this
session. II is expected that Mr.. Hanna
will continue TO advocate the bill in ali
his postprandial oratory, as hy that course
he will be able to reassure the special
interests clamoring loudest for bounty
Legislation that he is their friend. so that
he will be on the proper terms with them
when he passes the hat for campaign con-
tributions.

Friends of Taylor are asserting that as
soon as the present difficulty connected
with Governor GoebeTs murder is at an
end President Mckinley will reward his
services to the party by giving him good
Federal office. On the whole. this propo-
sition seems rather cruel to Taylor. Why
should the Administration wait or make
him wait His services are of record.
That they did not result in success is
merely an incident. Why not make him

Ii is said that the faculty of Georgetown
University is rather embarrassed over its
offer of the degree of Ii. d. TO Admiral
Dewey and his acceptance of the honor, to
be conferred at the next commencement
day exercises. Since the arrangement was
made. the Admiral has announced himself
as a Presidential aspirant The univer
sity's traditional policy has been toadvoid
even the appearance Of mixing in political
matters. Perhaps the good fathers may be
able to arrange things without violating
their traditions. At any rate, the extent TO
which the great Admiral may justly be
regarded as political parsonage will be
easier to measure after the Fourth Of July.
In any event the faculty would hardly
withdraw their offer. if. as reported, it was
definitely made and accepted in good faith.
RecN liberation on ex post facto consider
ations might, perhaps, be a delicate mat
ter.

Colombian Consul General. New York:
Reports about the taking of the ports OF Ba-
ranquia, Clrtageua and Colon absolutely false.
CAMPO SERItANO, Governor OF Panama.
Notwithstanding this denial the ,aking
of at least one Of the ports Cartagena-
has been apparently confirmed from three
different sources. On Thursday the State
Department at Washington received the
news. and the cruiser Philadelphia and
gunboat Machias have been ordered to pro-
coed to the scene of disturbance. A cable
despatch from Maracaibo. Venezuela. last
Saturday. gave the same information, and
today Dr. AdidZ Guerra received the news
from Curacao. So while there is some ques-
tiOn to the capture of the ports of Ba-
ranquilla and Colon it is probable that
Cartagena is in the control of the insur-
gents.

Memoirs of Clara Morris, entitled Rec
elections of the Stage and Its People, -
This chapter describes the famous
actress first appearance before a New
York audience and tells yividly of all
the trials and trlum2hs on that cru
cial occasion. Apart from its sentl-
mental value as the photographed
work of our greatest actress. the dra-
matte intensity of the writing gives to
the article literary charm worthy of
its high historic interest.

St. Peter sat quiet and stroked MS

But, spite of his efforts he had to
laugh,
Then said with fiery CLEAN in his eye,

And then he arose in stature tell
And cressed 4 button upon the wall,
And Ghen to the imp who answered the

Escort ,his lady around to hell"
The nan stood stillas piece of stone.
Stood sadly. gloomily there alone.
A life-long settled idea he had
That his wife was good and he was ba l.
He thought If the woman went down
below
That he would certainly have to go;
That if she went to REGIONS dim,
There wasn't ghost of a show for
him.
Slowly ne turned by habit bent,

He called The gentleman back and SAID
Friend, how long have you been
wed?"
Thirty years" Cwith a weary sigh,)
And then he thoughtfuly added
"Why?"
St. Peter sat silent. with head ben
down,
He raised his head and scratched hi:
crown,
Then, seeming a different thought tc
take,
Slowly half to himself he spake;
Thirty years with that woman there
No wonder that the man hasn't any

Swearing is wicked. smokes not good
He smoked and lwcre--I should thinl

Slippers Sold.
CKansas City Journal.

(Kansas City Journal)
A pair of blue crocheted house slip
pers, made by Mrs. William Mckinley,
wife of the President of the United
States, were sold at auction at the
bazaar conducted by the women of In
dependence Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal church, for S25, the purchaser be-
ing George w. Fuller, the local mana
ger of the John Deere Plow Company.
Mrs. A. c. Patterson is a prominent
member of the Independence Avenue
Church. She wrote her sister, who
lives in Washington, d. c.. regarding
the preparations the women of the
church here were making for their ba-
zaar, and short time later when her
sister was calling at the White House
she suggested to Mrs. Mckinley that
she make and donate something to be
sold at the Fair. Mrs. Mckinley as
sented, and in due time the slippers
were received here.
George N. Neff, editor of the Kansas
City Drovers' Telegram, acted as auc-
tioneer, and there was lively bidding
for the slippers. H. p Wright and M.
F. Simmons were in the competition
for them, and forced Mr.. Fuller to pay
a good price.
The slippers are very pretty ones,
and it is probable they will be pre-
served as heirlooms.

Saint Peter at the Gate.

St, Peter stood guard at the golden
gate,
With a solemn mein and air sedate,
When up ait the top of the golden stair,
man and woman ascending there
Applied for admission. They came
and stood
Before st. Peter, so great and good,
In hopes the city of peace to win,
And asked st. Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall and lank and thin
With scraggy beard upon her chin.
| The man was short and thick and
stout,
His stomach was built so it rounded
out,
His face was pleasant. and all the
,, while
He wore "a kindly and genial smile
The choirs in the distance the echoes
awoke
And the man kept still while the wom-
an spoke.
"Oh, Thou who guardest the gates"
said she,
1--WE two come hither beseeching Thee
To let ug enter the heavenly land
And play our harDs with the angel
band
OF me, ST. Peter there is no doubt.
There's nothing from heaven to bar
me out.
I've been to meeting three times 4
week,
And almost always I'd rise to speak.
1--WE told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way
I've told my neighbors-I've told them
all
Bout Adam and Eve and the primal
fall;
I've shown them what they have to do
If they'd pass in with the chosen few;
I've marked their path of duty clear
Laid out the plan for their whole ca
reer.
'I've talked to em. talked loud and
long,
For my lungs and my voice is stron@
So, good st. Peter you will clearly see
The gate of heaven is open for me.
But my old man, regret to say,
| Hasn't walked exactly in the marrow
way,
He smokes and swears, grave faults
hes got
! And / don't know whether he'll pass
or not.
'4Ie never would pray with an earnest
vim,
Or go to revivals, or join in a hymn,
So l had to leave him in sorrow there,
! While /. with the chosen. united in
prayer,
He ate what the pantry CHANGED to af-
| ford,
While I, in my purity, sang to the
Lord,
And if cucumbers were all he got,
| It's a chance if he merited them or not.
But, o, st. Peter, love him so.
| To the pleasures of heaven please let
him go.
I've done enough-a saint I've been,
Won't that atone? Can't you let him
| in?
BY my grim gospel l know tits so
That the unreDentent must go below;
But isn't there some way you can see
| That he may enter who Is dear to me?
"It's a$narrow gospel by which pray,
But the chosen expect to find the way
| OF coaxing, or fOoling, or brjbing you
So that their relations can amble
through,
And say, st. Peter, it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be;
You ought to stand right by the open
! there
And never sit down in that easy chair,
And say, st, Peter, my sight is dimmed,
But don't like rhe way your whis-
kers are trimmed.
They're cut too wide. and outward
toss,
They'd look better narrow and straight
| across,
Well, we must be going, our crown to
win,
| So open st. Peter, and we'll pass in"

Gen. James H. Wilson. who has just
returned from China. said of that un-
fortunate country: "The trouble with
China is the poverty of her people.
THEY are downLhearted, dead-minded,
despairing. What China needs is a
government with strong and decisive
power behind it. In case the present
negotiations of the powers are harmo-
niously concluded there will be nece E.
sary for the same powers to get be
hind any government that may be set
up and give it stability. China cannot
be properly governed from the inside
1t must be governed from the outside
and it must be governed so that the
economics Of the empire can be devel-
oped and the people be made happy
at least, to certain extent, instead oi
being miserable, as they now are"

Senator Hanna gained such repu-
tation as a speaker by his campaign
talks that his excellent speech in the
Senate in favor of the Ship Subsidy
Bill did not surprise those who heard
it, His idea of convincing oratory is
to talk only about what you know and
to ask others to believe in only what
you believe in yourself. That is what
he did on the stump with such good eff
feet, and that is what he has done in
the Senate To increase the American
merchant marine is one of his greatest
desires, and his faith in the Ship Sub
sidy Bill as long step in that direc-
tion is as strong as was his faith in the
reelection of President Mckinley and
the endorsement of his policy by the
American people.

The celebration of the centennial of
the establishment of the capital of the
United States at Washington, held this
week, was big success. as we'll as a
most interesting historical event 1t
began with reception in the White
House, by the President, in honor of
the twenty-five governors of States,
who attended. followed by an address
by Colonel T. A. Bingham, Superintend
ent of public buildings and grounds.
who exhibited a model of the proposed
additions to the White House: an ad-
dress of welcome by Commissioner
Macfarland and a reply on behalf of
the Governors by Gov Shaw. of Iowa.
The out of door part of the celebration
consisted of a military parade. under
command of Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
which was reviewed from the east front
of the Capitol by President Mckinley.
Later a commemorative meeting was
held in the hall Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, with Congress sitting in
joint session, presided over by Senator
Frye, and attended by the President,
the Cabinet and all of the prominent
visitors. At this meeting addresses
were made by Senators Hoar. Daniel
and McComas. and Representatives
Payne, of New York. and Richardson,
of Tennessee. The celebration closed
with an evening recention to the gov

The remarks of Chairman Payne. Of
the House Ways and Means Committee,
on the democratic substitute proposed
for the Revenue Reduction Bill. just
passed by the House, effectually dis
posed of them. He said: Some mem
bers of the minority of the committee
have proposed to abolish all war rev.
enue and offer in place thereof an in
come tax. OF course, it is perfectly OBJ
vious to every thinking man that this
would cause an immediate deficiency
of $105 100000. The enactment of a
new income tax law would not furnish
a dollar of additional revenue. We
have already an income tax law upon
the statute books. The Supreme Court
has decided it unconstitutional. What
reason is there to suppose that new
enactment of this kind would meet with
any other fate? Another proposition
has been made by the minority to
abolish the entire additional tax upon
beer. This would result in an addi-
tional reduction of $23,000,000 1t
would produce the greatest injustice.
What argument in favor of reducing
the entire tax on beer which does not
apply with as great force to the re-
duction of the entire tax on tobacco,
amounting to s1S.0OO.0OO. or the tax
on bankers and brokers, amounting to
nearly $4,OOO,OOO, and the remaining
taxes, amounting to $15,OO0,OOO? Ger
tainly the tax upon beer should never
be wiped out until every other vestige
of the war tax is removed"
