The Hawaiian Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb IL Senator
Cullom was at the White House to.
day and had conference with the
President in regard to the status OF
legislation before Congress affecting
the Hawaiian islands. The Pres
ident had had under consideration
the expedienoy of asking Congress
to pass some temporary legislation
which would enable the local gov
eminent to provide for natives
whose houses had been burned to
stop the spread Of the bubonic
plague, and to succor those in dis
tress. Senator Cullom, however ex-
pressed the belief thai Congress
would soon pass bill providing for
permanent government for the
islands, and that this measure would
be amply sufficient to meet the ex.
isiting conditions. The President
therefore will await the action of
Congress on the pending bill.

TREASURY building in Downing street and
ats presiding genius, the chancellor OF the

MIGHTY FINANCIAL SECRET.
In England there is something dramatic
In the presentation of a vast bill like the
one the country is preparing to pay. 1t
3s not, as in the United States, a matter
OF public knowledge and discussion be-
Sorehand. The mighty chancellor Of the
excheQuer-correspo to the American
secretary of the treasury-broods ever
the budget in a solitude broken only by
the financial powers of the city whose ad-
vice he asks, and by the government lead
Frs No one else knows how big the bill
Is to be, or how it is proposed to pay
It. The newspapers heighten expectancy
by making solemn and elaborate guesses,
Rnd the country possesses its soul with
what patience 1t can until, In his own good
lime, the chancellor rises from his seat

THE TREASURY.

the weighty secret he has hatched
Then, ordinarily, he becomes storm
center. The inevitable criticism that in
the United States distributes Itself over
a congress committee a president and a
whole party, and only in minor degree
on the secretary Of the treasury, is con-
centrated here on one man.
There have been chancellors who have
broken down under the strain, but you'll
never see a sign of weakening in Sir
Michael ks-Beach. A fly could excite
his wrath, but an earthquake couldn't
move him. Parliament could NEEDLE with
his budget and undertake to improve on
1t here and there, but 1t would merely
elicit from him the opinion that parlla-
ment was blank idiot. All the lords in
the empire might come to him for q gov
eminent loan for some charitable er ter
prise, and yet, If he thought such loan
unwarranted, the keeper of the nations
money bags would grip his gold all the
tighter, and tell the noble lords In Ian
guage that cuts like a knife that if they
knew more about the traditions of British
finance they wouldn't come to him with
absurd requests.

hospital in London still go to the Man
sion house to receive Easter bobs'' from
the lord mayor. They get first two buns
each. Then the lord mayor gives to each
"Grecian'' a sovereign and the others

The Thursday before Esster, called
Maundy Thursday, from the Latin, man
date or command, was the time original
~ set apart for washing the feet as an
act of humiliation. The pope, bishops
and superiors OF religious houses still
perform this act, and sovereigns and
princes formerly did, although In late
years no royal persoaages, except the
Empress of Austria have carried it out.
The pope formerly washed the feet Of
thirteen bishops.

and still more documents for his sigma
ture. After the house rises Sir Michael
usually scurries off to his favorite one
of his two country seats, Netherhaven
house, in Salisbury.
This is the second time that Sir Mich
ael Hicks Beach has held his present po-
sition, his first term having been from
1885 to 1856. He is an Elton man, a baro-
net, and the owner of nearly 1900 acres
out in Worcestershire, having held a
whole string of responsible posts, chief
of them, perhaps, colonial secretary, the
office now filed by Mr. Chamberlain.
After the Conservative party went out Of
power in 1856 he became president of the
London Board Of Trade. He is now six
ty-three, and has son of twenty-five.
The event Of the Conservative party
losing the next election would, of course
mean that the treasury would get q
brand new chancellor of the exchequer
first loard, board and joint secretaries,
but there is one prominent and high sal
aried official there whom it would not
disturb in the least.
This is the permanent secretary, whose
position in the treasury is rather curious
AS his title implies, his office is practi-
cally for life. He is nominated by the
treasury board and appointed by the cab
met. The former permanent secretary
held Office for about ten years and then
resigned. This was Lord Welby, who
is now president of the London county
council The present permanent secretary
has been IN Office since 1893
He is ST. Francis Mowatt, and the ex-
act part he plays in the treasury is nttl ;
understood by the man In the street"
In fact. his actual duties change with
every ministry. He is subordinate to the
chancellor of the exchequer and his va
rioUs functions are mapped out for him
by that official. His salary Is $4,000 a
year, and whether he earns 1t or not de-
ponds wholly on how energetic q chancel-
lor of the exchequer is in office Usually,
however, he has to decide the questions
that are not of sufficient importance to
be dealt with by his superior in person,
and the actual mechanism of the treasury
service seldom changed by one jot, is his.
He usually is present at the meetings of
the treasury board.

THE HOSPITAL NURSE.


She glides through the wards as an angel
of peace
Allaying the turmoil of pain,
Relieving the anguish Of bodily Ills
And calming the feverish brain.
The touch Of her hand is a sweet sooth-
Ing balm,
Her smile is a sunbeam of cheer,
Her comforting words like thrilling re-
That charm the enraptured ear.
Ger faces dishgured and covered with
blood
She bends her own lovely face,
Till she seems like radiant gold-tinted
o'erhanging some hideous place.
The frowns of her patients ne'er darken
her brow,
She's with them for better or worse,
With hands ever ready and zeal never
spent

LORDS OF THE TREASURY.
In olden times England's finances used
TO be looked after by royal treasurer
always with the able assistance of tha
reigning monarch; but in the time of
charles II. that office was abolished. and
the whole business put under the con-
troll OF chancellor of the excheuuer
with first lord of the treasury and three
other lords to watch him. Of later years.
however, the duties of these last four Of
hcials have become little more than for
MAJ, SO far as the treasury is concerned.
The nrst lord of the treasury, In fact.
confines himself almost entirely to par
hamentary duties, although he draws a
salary of $4,000 year as a treasury Off
cial and has a lot Of treasury PATRONAGE
This position Is held by the Right Hon
Arthur j. Balfour, leader of the house of
commons, and nephew OF the premier.
Inc first lord, the other three iunior
lords-each with a salary of Scotland
two joint secretaries form what IS known
as the treasury board, convened at the
pleasure OF the chancellor of the ex
chequer and consulted by him upon all
questions of finance, and upon the sboul
ders of this board comes the resnonsi-
bllfty of actually managing the treasury
Sir Michaefs salary is SIS, 200 a year, as
compared with the $1,000 drawn by Mr..
Gage.
The chancellor Is not at the treasury
every day, even during the session of
parliament, but merely looks in once or
twice week, preferring to do most of
his actual work at his town house. where
he has two secretaries to help him.
While still another represents him at the
treasury 49,
