we should do with the conquered territory"
 "Yes, sir" promptly replied MT. Caffery.
 MT. Caffery pointed to England as a great nation which was rendered insecure by her colonial possessions.
 She trembles,' he said ''at the spectre of the Russian bear crossing the Ural noun tains, and she may well tremble at the at tftude of the less than million of people in the Transvaal. There is no strength in these extended possessions. The very mo- ment we take the FIl.pinos we have in jected into our system a poison that will inroculate our whole body politic."
 MT. Platt of Connecticut asked: What under the circumstances should we do?'
 Turn them loose as soon as we can get rid of them, replied Mir. Caffery. That would be better for them and infinitely bet ter for us.'
 MT Platt: "You think that is better for that people than that we should try to bring them up to the enjoyment and bless ings and privileges of a free government?'
 "I do," responded MT. Caffery. "And the sooner we can get rid of the embarrass- ments attendant upon the ratification Of the Paris treaty the better 1t would be for he United States and the Filipinos.
 Without concluding his speech, MT. Caf- fiery yielded the floor. A bill was passed 10 amend an act granting to the city Of Hot Springs, Ark, certain lands for a city park

THEIR ARRIVAL DELAYED

Washington, February 5.-(Special. )-John Wesley Gaines. representative in congress from the Nashville, Tenn, distinct, is an unhappy man. Mir Gaines is an indefatiga- ble worker for his district. He introduced bill some time ago which provided for the presentation to the city of Nashville of the one7pound rapid-fire gun which fired the first shot of the Spanish war from the gum boat Nashville. Senator Bate, of Tennes- see, introduced similar bill in the senate
 His bill was sent to him by the city coun- cll of Nashville There was no opposition in the naval affairs committee of the house to the Gaines bill, particularly as the navy department was quite ready to loan the gun to Nashville, and had ordered it shipped from Manila to this country, but MT Gaines thought tt would add to his own reputation if he would have committee from Nash ville come here to appear before the naval committee and formally ask a favorable re- 1 port on the bill.
 The commi.tee readily agreed and Tues day, January 30 at 10 o'clock in the morn ing was the time fixed for the hearing. But the Nashville committee delayed its depart ure and was not here in time though it was on the road. MT. Gaines was in great trou- ble He appeared before the committee, told them the circumstances, and they said they would report the bill anyhow. MT. Gaines felt it necessary however, to find something for his delegation to do, so he hurried to the senate to see Senator Bate and get him to have the delegation heard by the senate naval committee. Judge of his surprise, however, when on entering the senate chamber he saw Senator Bate ad- dressing the senate and asking unanimous consent for the consideration of his bill. MT. Gaines looked on long enough to see the bill passed and left in distress. What he wanted to know was what to do with his delegation.

TEXAS WANTS ID ERECT MONUMENT Movement Set on Foot to Build a Monument to
 Goebel.

Austin. Tex, February 5.-A movement was set on foot today in the Texas aes1s- lature to erect monument to the memory of Governor Goebel of Kentucky. The money will be raised by popular subscr.p- tion, the legislators heading the list, and will be sent to Kentucky with the under standing that Texas is to have the credit of erecting the monument out of respect and sympathy to the deceased and his relatives.
 The following sebf-explanatory resolution was adopted today:
 Whereas, it has come to the knowledge or this body, in called session, that the death of Governor William Goebel, of the commonwealth of Kentucky, occurred at 6:45 D. m on the Sd instant, the result of a gunshot wound from the hands of a con cealed and cowardly assassin, and,
 Whereas. this body had watched w.th painful interest his struggle fcr life with the ardent hope that the tragic end might be stayed and the distinguished victim permitted to again minsie in the walks of an honorable and useful lie manly. courageous and gifted statesman of the heroic state of Kentucky, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That it Is wish profound sor- row that this resolution is passed, and in so doing this body es.eems ft a privilege to commend the virtues in him whose life had been taken in the very fulness of man. hood and in the hour of his triumph. That as a self-governing and law abiding peo- ple all Texas deplores the unhappy con- ditions existing in our sister state, and join in the hope that the peaceful counsel of her illustrious son and dead governor may prevail; that it is the sense of this body that patriotism, duty and obedience to law demands of every citizen of this union unqualified condemnation of as sasslnation and the unlawful use Of ir- responsible soldlery in che attempted over throw of civil government t1 denying the legal right Of the represent tat!ve5 of peo- pe to peacefully assemble in the discharge of their duty ard in a refusal to submit to the mandate of the courts of this country, thus opening the flood gates to revolution and civil strife to the blight of free people and tine destruction of civil govern ment. That copies of this resolution be mailed by the secretary of the senate, properly signed by the president thereof to the two houses of the Kentucky legisla- ture and that page of our journal be set aside for the publication of this resolution

Animals lnsensible to Pain.

If it is true that animals feel pain
less than men, then it is also true that
the tortures and cruelties sometimes
inflicted upon animals if administered
to men would be unbearable to the
point almost of insanity or death. The
most sensitive part of the human frame
is the skin, and while this is true rela-
lively of animals it is certain also that
the skin of dogs or other animals is
not so sensitive as that Of man. Be
sides, the animals skin is protected by
coat Of insensitive hair. In the case
of surgical operations on men reaching,
for instance, to the abdominal cavity,
it is the incision into the cavity that re-
Quires the taking Of anesthetics, and
not so much the work to be done after
the cavity is opened. After serious
operations upon animals which have
been placed under chloroform it, fire.
quently happens that few minutes
after recovering consciousness the ami

The Adjective.

A writer in Longman's Magazine
saws that everybody nowadays in prose
or poetry claps on an adjective to every
noun. 1t degrades the adjective and
enervates the noun.
Then. too, there are host OF vulgar,
oyerdressed people introduced into our
company, whom we, the old-fashioned
adiectives, hardly recognize-"strenu-
ous'' ..intense," weird fiery" sym
pathetic, splendid, "''secure." "naive.'
Impressive poignant" mostly at
tached. too, to the wrong nouns.
There are too many adjectives, and
they carry too much sail, like Delilah,
bedecked, ornate and gay.
I noticed, as an instance the otner
way. a criticism in a French review OF
the academician sea-captain who calls
himself Pierre Lott, whose style Is SO
defeated that he seldom or never uses
an adjective more startling than
good bad green" red, dark, I
eight. and so on; and yet so orders
his sentence that the adjective SHINES
out like a rose on brier-bush.

IA Laad of Many Thirsts.

The Egyptian never travels without
his goolah. He fills it with filtered
water, and in the morning can COM
mand a pint or more of water cooled
by evaporation through the unglazed
clay. This precious fluid he does not
waste on unsatisfed thirst. Taking off
the long white wrap and the piece of
cloth that covers his head during sleep,
the native pours the water over his
head, neck and hands. The European,
with all his instinct for cleanliness,
seeks first to relieve his overmastering
thirst. There are in Egypt as many
thirsts as plaques, but the dust thirst
is the worst. Every pore is sealed; the
throat is a lump of dry clay, and one
feels what it must be to be mummy

A Resulting Condition.

At a sale last week in Chicago of
Aberdeen-Angus breeding cattle the
prices broke all previous records.
Seventy-two head brought a general
average Of $579 each. This is a big
price to pay for cattle whose only value
to the purchaser Is found in the i'm
.provement of common low grade stock.
The farmers who bought these aristo-
cratic animals will get their money
back many times over in the added
weight and quality of the beef they
will market two or three years from
now. Their animals will not only
weigh more, but they will fetch high
er price per pound. This improved
grade of beef is certain to find ready
market. Americans are the best eaters
In the world, because they are the best
paid people in the world. They are the
best paid people in the world because
Of the workings Of an economic policy
which insures high wages by protect
ing American labor and industry from
the unfair competition of lower paid
foreign labor. And the resulting condi-
ton affects, among other people, the
American farmer; and enables him to
buy breeding cattle at $570 per head

Considering the number of times it
has been written up" it is singular
that the peculiar swindle known as the
Spanish priest game is still worked
or attempted-in this country. The
priest, who is supposed to live in
Madrid, writes some thrifty Amer
lean citizen, telling of buried
treasure or Of legacy left by Span
ish grandee to him, the American citi-
zen. If the latter nibbles at the bait
the next thing is a request for money
for legal or other expenses. If the re-
mittance be made the Madrid ecclesi-
astic is heard from no more. OF course
there is no Spanish priest mixed up in
the matter at all. The whole thing is
the work of American swindlers who
have branch establishment in the
Spanish capital. and the fact that they
continue to attempt swindle which
has been exposed dozens of times is no
tribute to their originality. That some
people haven'teheard of it, however, is
evident from the fact that q seasoned

the fact that as late as 1880 the city Of
Boston kept it's pauper lunatics in
wooden cages, which rested on wheels
and were rolled out of the almshouse
on pleasant days, to give the wretches
a little air and sunshine. When a new
building was provided the patients
were trundled into it in their cages.
But DR.. Butler, the wise and humane
superintendent, promptly set them
free from conditions which might
make a sane man crazy.
