Pettigrew Charges Mckinley with
Double Dealing

WASHINGTON, Jan 24-The resolution Of
fered in the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Petit
grew. Republican, calling upon the President
ior the report of Gen. John c. Bates concern
ing the treaty made with the Sultan of Sulu,
was considered today. The resolution cited
the salaries paid to the Sultan and his officials,
and inquired what fund they we're paid from
aud what services the officials rendered.
Mr. Pettigrew said that slavery in its worst
form existed in the Sulu group of islands, and
the treaty itself provided that every slave
could purchase his freedom at the regular
market price. He said the amount of salaries
paid TO the Sultan and his officials under the
treaty was $9l20 vet the Spanish Government
paid to them only $500.
translation of the treaty, he said, was
withheld from the people until after the Ohio
elections. This was me rely part of the pol
lev Of concealment aud censoFing adopted by
the Administration.
Mr.. Spooner Wis. asked Ar. Pettigrew if
he meant to hold the President responsible for
the slavery claase in the Sulu treaty.
IL do, Mr. Pethgrew replied.
Then, said Mr.. Spooner, II read from
the message Of the President to Congress.
The President says: L have confirmed said
agreement, subject TO the action of Con-
gress, and with the reservation which | have
directed sbali De communicated 10 Tue sultan
Of Jolo, that this agreement is not to be
deemed in any way to authorize or give the
consent Of the United States TO the existence
Of slavery iu the Sulu archipelago.
Mr.. Pettigrew replied that there was no as.
surance that the Presidents statement would
ever reach the Sultan. He declared it wes
simply case of double dealing and nothing
else.
At the conclusion of the address of Mr..
Pettigrew, Mr.. Lodge Mass. said that while
the resolution was covered by one previously
adopted, there was no objection to its passage.
1t was then adopted.
Mr.. Pettigrew s. d. offered resolution
declaring that the United States Government
would not recognize the right of any nation
to declare as c0ntraband and seize food pro-
ducts as such, and that any such seizure would
be an act uufriendly to the Uuited States,
The resolution went over under the rule.

Why 1900 Isn't A Leap Year.

Why the year 1900, being the fourth
year after the last leap year, which was
1896, viii not be leap year is frequently
asked. The following Is as suceinct an
explanation as we can give to make it in
telhgible: Under the Julian Calendar,
according to which year has ordinarily
800 days and every fourth year is a leap
year Of 800 days The length Of a year is
assumed to be 800 days, when in fact 1t
is IL minutes aud 10 seconds less. In
1892 this shortage had amounted to 10
complete days causing much confusion Of
dates, so Pope Gregory ordained that 10
DAYS be deducted from that year-the 9th
of October becoming the 10Th, and in or
der that that difference should not occur
again it was further ordained that every
one hundredth year not divisible by 100
with no remainder (1900, 2100, 2300,
etc should not be leap year. In this
way the difference between the civil year
and the natural year, will not amount to a
day in 5000 years

High Price For Straightness.
From Youths Companion.


One of the difficult problems in practi-
cal mechanics is to make straight edge. "
How difficult it is may be judged from an
incident which occurred in the shops of j.
A Brashear, the astronomical maker. A
customer asked Mr.. Brashear what would
be the price of "a perfect straight edge
of glass SO inches long.
s.It cam t be made absolutely perfect, "
said Mr.. Brashear but it could probably
be made with limit of error amounting to
only fraction of wave length of light.
How much would that cost p
About $40, 600 p
1t turned out that the customer wanted
the straight edge for a scraper and that an
error of one sixty fourth of an inch would
have been insensible for his purpose.

Useful Hints.

The best way to hang up broom is to
screw large picture ring into the top of
the handle
Never have dark furniture in the kitch-
en-; it shows dust much more than light,
and requires double care.
Wash your fatirons in soapsuds and dry
thoroughly, if they at all trouble you by
dropping black specks.
A few leaves of green wormwood scat
tered where black ants congregate is said
to be efectual in dislodging them.
1t is claimed that the juice of lemon
squeezed into cup of strong coffee will
afford immediate relief in neuralgic head
ache.
A half cup ammonia to a pail of warm
water will cleanse hard finished walls nice
ly; of course the water should be changed
when much soiled.
When laid away for any length of time,
linen should be washed, rough dried with
out bluing, and laid in loose folds without
much weight on it.
Remedy for Slipping rugs.-House-
proud women who rejoice in smooth, hard
floors often find the slipping of the rugs
stretched across them a serious annoyance,
if not positive danger, as falls may easily
ensue from it. A rug salesman contrib
uted the other day this suggestion as a
remedy: "Wet the rugs thoroughly,
he said ''and turn them right side down
ward till dry 1t will not hurt them, and
viii relieve this tendency to slip" The
explanation is that the wetting dissolves
some slightly gummy substance used in
their treatment.
To Keep Gilt Frames Clean.-To clean
gold picture frames beat the white of an
egg; add to it one pint of cold water; moist
en- your frames with this mixture, using
sponge Then, with a soft flannel care
fully wipe Take a second cloth, perfectly
dry, and give the frames a light rubbing
If the frames are not clean and bright after
this treatment you had better take them to
a glider and have them regilded.
To Clean Marble Take two parts of
common soda, one part of pumice stone
and one part of finely powdered chalk; silt
it through fine sieve and mix it with
water; then rub it well all over the marble
and the stains will be removed Then
wash the marble off with soap and water,
aud il viii be as clean as it was at first.

One of the best ''mouse-scarers is the
foliage of the walnut tree. Where traps
are useless the above is most successful, and
for those to whom such leaves are obtain
able there need be no more worry about
those annoying little animals. Even after
the foliage has been dried it is still effect
ual in driving them away. On the Con-
tinent, where country folk bury such veg
etables as turnips, carrots, celery, ETC.,
for winter use, layer of the above keeps
rats and mice away.

NEW AND INGENIOUS DEVICES

Powder for flashlight pictures is re- placed by gas in new invention, which has the gas stored in a jar, with flame in position to ignite it when the jar is opened by pressure on pneumatic bulb, the latter also operating the shutter of the camera.
 By the use of a new steam radiator attachment the air is drawn from the interior to admit more steam when the radiator cools, thermostat being connected with a valve to open the ex- haust outlet and allow the steam to flow in without regard to the other radiators on the circuit.
 Two Montana men have patented a handy knife sharpener, which has a pair of small grindstones inserted in movable jaws, with a system of gearing inside a easing, to which the jaws are attached, crank being used to revolve the train and turn the stones rapidly over the blade to be sharpened.
 A novel mouse trap makes use of an ordinary bowl to catch the rodents, having a fiat board in which two pins are stuck a short distance apart, with horizontal rods pivoted to the tops of the pins in contact with each other, supporting the edge of the bowl in a raised position until the bait is dis turbed.
 Stamps can be rapidly affixed by a new machine, which has the tube in which the stamps are stacked gummed side up, with a wick running from a water chamber to the top of the tube, to wet the envelope as it is inserted at the end of the tube, when a knob is pressed to force the envelope against the stamp.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

A long focus, by which is meant a long bellows camera, is a good thing to have for general field work.
 The cameo process of making photo grgphs comprehends the use of presses, dies and special apparatus, in addition to a degree of skill and care impossible to the average amateur. It is one of the most difficult of all photographic processes.
 Alcohol is the usual medium for the quick drying of plates, but here is an other very good way. Make up solu- ton of formatin one part, and water nine parts. Immerse the negative in this for five minutes, then give it a quick plunge into not water and stand it up to dry. The fOrmatin hardens the film so that it can hardly be melted even by prolonged soaking in hotwater.
 The usual reason why amateurs fail to get good pictures of flowers is that they use an ordinary plate instead of an isochromatic Getting good flower pictures I believe I may say is impossi- ble without the use of isochromatic plates, because the delicate color val ues which more than the form make the beauty of flower, are on the ordi- nary plate quite lost. A ray filter used as an ordinary plate will, of course, have more or less of the same effect.
 During June, the light from nine in the morning until three in the after noon is about equable and perfect snapshots can be gotten anywhere with in those hours. The best snapshot time in the other summer months, say May and July, is between ten and two. This does not mean that good snapshots cannot be gotten before the morning hour named or after the afternoon hour. I have gotten fine snapshots as late as six o'clock in the evening. The best results, however, are gotten near CT the middle of the eday.-'Snapshot," in Philadelphia Press,

THE SIGHTS OF BOSTON.

The first church in Boston, a matched log structure, was erected in 1632 on State street, just south of the old statehouse, on the site of Brazer's build- ing.
 The Back bay district was gained from the saltwater tides by filling in, mainly between 1857 and 1887, the land sales giving the state a profit of S3,500,O00 above costs.
 Faneuil hall, "The Cradle of Lib erty," was built in 1742, by Peter Faneuil, the Huguenot merchant, for a market and public hall, and pre- sented to the town.

 Kings Chapel burying ground, the oldest in Boston, dates from 1630 and contains the remains of the three governors Winthrop Gov. Shirley, Gov. Leverett, Gov. Endicott, John Winslow, Lady Andros and Cotton, Davenport, Oxenbridge and other il- lustrious divines, with Brattle, Sheafe and other great colonial merchants, and learned judges and several gal lant officers.
 The old statehouse, at the head of State street, was built in 174s, in the walls of its predecessor, erected in 1713, and on the site of the town house of 1857; and for half a cen tury the honorable provincial coun- cil and the state senate met in the eastern hall, and the house of rep resentatives in the western hall Here, according to John Adams, ''In- dependence was born;" and for II years Samuel Adams and Hancock, Otis and Quincy and other patriots resisted British aggressions, with fiery eloquence. Here the stamp act clearances were burned; the Brit ish troops were quartered, in 176s; Gems. Howe and Clinton held their war councils, surrounded by officers clad in scarlet and lace, and the state constitution was planned.
