He knew that the arrow had gone
home when she drew her slender figure
to Its full height.
Miss Digby's pleasure or displeasure

And then Laurie Nugent knew that
he held the key to the whole situation.

IL was Sunday evening, and the Chin

the music Of the waves--a calm, beau

to know that heavens calm rested upon
it. The sweet chime OF the bells sound

Laurie Nugen;s diplomacy was str.k-

who were in his pay he had heard that
Miss Gordon was not going to church.

greater compliment than it gave
to Senator Lodge (rep., Mass.).
The announcement that he would de-
liver speech on the Philippine ques-
ton drew to the senate every sena-
tor now in the city and to the galleries
an unusually large number of audi
ditors. The speech was based on the
bill introduced by Senator Spooner
vesting in the president authority to
govern the Philippines until congress
should otherwise provide by iegisla-
ton and was a strong advocacy
of that measure. ia part he said:
II hope and believe that we shall
retain the islands, and that, peace and
order once restored, we shall and
should re-establish civil government
beginning with the towns and villages,
where the inhabitants are able to
manage their own affairs. We should
give them honest administration and
prompt and efficient courts. We
should see to it that there is entire
protection to persons and property,
in order to encourage the develop
ment of the islands by the assurance
of safety to investors of capital. All
men should be protected in the free
exercise Of their religion, and the
doors thrown open to missionaries of
all Christian sects. The land, which
belongs to the people, and of which
they have been robbed in the past,
should be returned to them and their

gurate and carry forward, in the most
earnest and liberal way, a compre-
hensive system of popular education
Finally, while we bring prosperity
to the islands by developing their re-
sources, We should, as rapidly as con-
ditions will permit, bestow upon them
self-government and home rule. Such,
in outline, is the policy which I believe
can be and will be pursued toward
the Philippines. 1t will require time,
patience. honesty and ability for its
completion, but it is thoroughly prac-
ticable and reasonable" Senator
Proctor (rep., VT read letter
from Colonel L. w. v. Kennon, in
command OF the oath regiment in the
Philippines dealing fully with the sit
uation there. The northern part of
the island of Luzon is cleared partially
of insurgents in formidable bodies, the
few remaining being in scattered
bands. They hoped to be able to dis
courage the Americans by conducting
a guerrilla warfare. In the opinion of
Col. Kennon, many Filipinos, with the
exception of the savage Tagalos, want
ed American control because the forces
under Aguinaldo preyed upon the
country, and committed atrocious
crimes against the inhabitants. This
desire for American rule has taken the
form of burning Aguinaldo in effigy.
Col. Kennon was certain the Filipinos
had no capacity for self government
and needed the strong hand of some
nation to guide and direct them

you"
You must be more explicit still,
Miss Digby."
Helen Digby sighed. Her charge was
terribly perverse.
Il wish to warn you very distinctly
and clearly against Mr. Nugent. Ethel.
You are very lovely, my dear and nat
urally enough he must admire you. He
may pay you compliments and fiatter

him. do not put faith in anything he

You are supposing," Miss Dlgby,

you are inexperienced. should not
like Sir Leonard to think that had
not taken good care of you"
And should like to show that was
able to take better care of myself than
you could of me-" retorted Ethel; and
with these words. proudly spoken, she
walked away, leaving Helen Digby to
her own reflections.
That was the turning OF the scale;
from that day the balance weighed in
Laurie Nugent's favor. That Miss Dig
by dlsliked him, and had warned her
against him, was quite sufficient to
make Ethel Gordon like him and in
cline in his favor. Helen Digby could
not have done anything more fatal than
express dlstrust OF him. II Ethel
could have acted as she liked, she
would have talked to him more than
before, and 1t would always have been
in the presence of Miss Digby; but
Laurie Nugent was wiser. He saw by
Helen's face that she had not been
quite pleased at seeing Ethel with him
on the lawn.
Discretion Is the better part oil
valor." he said to himself "If Miss
Digby should suspect what | have
sworn, she will take Ethel where can.

but IL l use little self-control, she will
not even suspect"
So for the next few days, although Il
cost him more than he would have
cared TO acknowledge. he did not ono,
approach Ethei-he did not even seel
an opportunity of addressing her chap
eron.
She shall not think me eager; sh,
shall find me perfectly Indifferent" h,
said; and Ethel was surprised to FIND
how much she missed him.
Helen Dlgby. like the noble, simple
unsuspecting woman she was, laughed
at herself for her suspicion. 1t had beer

came from seeing them together, which
she laughed at now. Laurie Nugent ap.

TO KNOW DEADLY SNAKES. $50
Signs by Which Their Charcter May
be Recognized.

To distinguish between venomous
and harmless snakes is easy in prac-
tice, but it is difficult to explain in
words alone, as there is no one exter-
nal characteristic which distinguishes
them. 1t is rather peculiar varying
union Of many separate marks that
brands the dangerous reptile.
Generally speaking, all snakes may
be divided into two great classes
those which have the head covered
with numerous small scales and those
which have it covered with large, reg
ularly fitted plates. Leaving out the
elipidae and the poisonous sea of
snakes, with which the hunter will
have nothing to do, all snakes with
small head scales move about by night,
and those with large plates on the
head by day. This may be known by
their eyes, for the first have vertical
pupils like the cats, while those of the
latter are generally circular in form.
The long, active day snakes, gliding
about from bush to bush, or hurriedIy
taking refuge beneath some protruding
rock or tree stump, is harmless. Even
should he lie coiled in the sunshine
he will flee from approaching danger.
But serpent nicely coiled in some
secluded nook, which instead of fleeing
gathers himself closer together, is
most probably dangerous, particularly
II he be more or less marked with a
suggestion of irregular crossbars or
whitish or dirty yellow and darker
brown or blackish. This is the char
acteristic coloring of our dangerous
snakes, the RATHER, the copperhead and
the moccasin.
The following points embrace all the
peculiarities of our American yipers.
and the last two are especially note
worthy as the crowning proofs OF
venom:
l. Moving about at dusk or by night,
generally on the ground, and very
rarely ascending trees or bushes. 2.
Seldom flying in alarm, but rather coll
ing for defense. g. Colors generally
subdued in tint, with a semblance of
irregular crossbars of lighter and
darker shades. A. Tail short, body
stout, neck thin, head fat and very
broad, especially behind. 5. Scales
keeled-i. e., each scale has a ridge
down the middle, which gives the skin
a rough appearance like a rasp. 6.
Head covered with small scales, some
times larger over the eyes or nose. z.
Eyes with vertical pupils like a CATS
8. Two pits or holes between the eyes
and nose, suggesting four nostrils 9.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Senator
Carter (rep., Mont) dealt vigorously
with the Quay case in the course OF his
explanation as to why he will vote for
the former Senator from Pennsylvania.
notwithstanding he voted against the
seating of Mr.. Corbett of Oregon in the
last congress. Senator Fairbanks (rep.,
Ind) then delivered a set speech in
support of the conference report on the
financial bill, which bill, he declared,
marks large and intelligent step for
ward in our monetary history. He made
an argument on The silver question,
holding that the maintenance of the
gold standard with silver circulating as
currency at parity with gold is the
only 5imetaIlism possible with so vast
difference existing between the values
of the two metals. The republicans had
done everything that had ever been
done for silver and the opposition were
bimetallists in theory only. Senator
Butler (dem., N. Co. followed with a
brief general discussion on the ques-
which he said was conferred upon the
national banks by the pending bill
Senator Davis (rep., Mimi offered an
amendment to the Porto Rican bill. Its
effect is to have the tariff laws of the
United States applied to Porto Rico up
on foreign imports, but allows absolute
free trade between the United States
and Porto Rico Senator Davis said
his amendment speaks for itself. 1t ex-
tends the constitution over Porto Rico
and by so doing implies that it cannot
be extended to the Philippines or else
where but by legislative action.
Washington, March 5.-Considerable
miscellaneous business. much of a
minor character, was transacted in the
house. During the consideration of the
bill to incorporate the Frederick Doug
lass memorial and historical associ-
alton, the speaker and Mr.. Bailey
(dem., Tex,) exchanged sharp words.
The latter filibustered and ultimately
prevented the final passage of the bill
by demanding the reading of the pro-
posed bill. The bill proposes to collect
at the residence Of the late Frederick
Douglass in this city a record of the
anti-slavery movement. Mr.. Under
wood (dem., Ala.) was appointed to the
vacancy on the committee on ways and
means, which it was understood was
originally reserved for Gen. Wheeler
had he returned to congress. Mr.. Dew
ries (rep, Cali introduced joint reso-
luton for the repeal of the duties on
white or print paper and matter from
which it is made and directing the at
torney general to proceed under the
antitrust law against those maintain
ing the monopoly in such paper and
material.

At Caledonia, Mimi, jury brought
in verdict of guilty of grand larceny
in the trial of Clements, the Lacrosse
man for completely in wrecklng the
Fillmore County bank. Clement,
claimed to have severed his copnec-
ton with the bank some time before
the failure. but his partner, Todd. tes-
titled that the books had been altered
to make out such case in OR to
keep $4,000 worth of property from
their creditors.

Washington, March S.-The formal
discussion of the Porto Rican tariff
and civil government bill was begun
in the senate and continued interrupt
eddy for four and a half hours. The
principal speakers were Senators For
aker (rep., Ohio, in charge of the
measure, and Pettus (dem., Ala. J, but al
various times during the debate lively
colloQuies occurred in which other SEN
ators were participants. Senator Pet
tus delivered a carefully prepared
speech in opposition to the pending
bill. He argued that it was unusual.
and in violation of the principles of
this government as laid down by the
fathers of the country. He congratu-
lated the president on the position he
had taken in his last annual message
favoring free trade between the United
States and Porto Rico. Senator Fora
ker replied the mortgage indebt-
edness of the island is S26, 0OO,-
OOO The United States govern
ment has extended the time for its
payment of that debt for eighteen
months and if necessary the time will
be extended again. Senator Foraker
explained the provisions of the bill.
showing that all internal revenue tax
.es and customs duties aggregating
s2,OO0,o0o. instead of being paid into
the United States treasury, as has been
the case in every other territory
would go into the treasury of the
Island and be used solely for the ben
eht of the Porto Ricans. Sena-
tor Foraker said it was gen.
orally understood that all sugar and
tobacco now on the island was ownad
by the sugar and tobacco trusts If This
were true, he said, the imposition Of
the tariff produced would fall unon
those well able to bear it and contrib
ute at least that much to the suffar-
ing Porto Ricans. Senator Foraker
became involved in a eolloouv with
Senator Hoar as TO the powers Of CON
gress TO levy such duty. The question
salu senator Foraker will have to be
determined ultimately by the supreme
court Of the United States. 'If we
cannot levy duty on the products of
Porto Rico We cannot levy a duty on
nose "a from the Philippines. If the
FhihppineS are now a part of the
United States and if we cannot levy a
'ariH on their products we might Just
as Wei dismiss the customs house and
90 out OF the protection business"
he thought the Philippines could
not be dealt with as n
was proposed to deal with
Porto Rico. Senator Tinman asked.
Then the contention is that We can
take Porto Rico under our wing ana
protect her to the utmost but cannot
DO the same thing for the PhiIin-
pines?" Replying toa question from Sem
Teller. Senator Foraker said he re-
garded Porto Rico as a dependency o.
the United States. not as integral psrt
OF it. Senator Hoar made p clos

Washington, March 6-Not probably
in the history Of the senate was there
ever shown so little real interest in the
final vote on great measure as was
manifested today in the vote on the
conference report on the financial bill.
The report was before the senate near

were delivered upon it. including Sem
ator Aldrich's explanation of the
changes made in the senate bill by the
conferees. Today the discussion ceased
on the bill fifteen minutes before the
time fixed for the vote. The senate
actually began the consideration of
minor bills on the calendar to consume
time. The conference report was
agreed to and the bill passed by vote
of A to rs, the report thus having a
majority of IS. The vote was:
