FIGHT WITH HAWTHORNE.

| do not recollect Hawthorne's
talking much at the table, says Mrs.
Ora Gannett SedgWick in the Atlantic.
Indeed, he was a very taciturn man.
One day, tired of seeing him sitting
immoYable on the sofa in the hall, as
| was learning some verses to recite
at the evening class for recitation
formed by Charles A. Dana, daringly
took my book, pushed it into his
hands, and said, 'Will you hear my
poetry, Mr.. Hawthorne?" He gave
me a sidelong glance from his very
shy eyes, took the book, and most
kindly heard me. After that he was
on the sofa every week to hear me re
cite. He was one evening alone in
the hall, sitting on a chair at the
farther end, when my roommate, Ella
Slade. and myself were going upstairs.
She whispered to me, Lets throw the
sofa pillows at Mr.. Hawthorne"
Reaching over the banisters, we each
took a cushion and threw it. Quick as
flash he put out his hand, seized a
broom that was hanging near him,
them back with sure aim. AS fast as
we could throw them at him, he re-
turned them with effect, hitting us
every time, while we could hit only
the broom. He must have been very
quick in his movements. Through it
all not word was spoken. Wonderful
eyes they were, and when anything
witty was said, always looked quick
ly at Mr. Hawthorne; for his dark
eyes lighted up as if flames were sud-
denly kindled behind them, and then
the smile came down to his lips. We
laughed merrily and went off to bed,
vanquished, without a word. I sup
pose Mr.. Hawthorne's face must have
worn that wonderful smile, which al
ways seemed suddenly kindled behind
his eyes twinkled there for second,
and then ran swiftly over his intense
ly grave face

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March 22.-Almost the
entire session was spent in the discus
sion of the conference report of the
Porto Rico appropriation bill. Demo-
cratic senators manifested a DISPOSE
ton to criticise the restoration of TIE
house provision covering future col
lections of revenue, protesting to find
in this action a desire to continue the
Dingley tariff. Speeches were made on
these lines by Senators Bacon, Cock
rell, Jones { Ark, Berry and Allen.
Republicans met the taunt with a
proposition to- take vote Immediately
upon the house Porto Rico tariff bill.
Senator Pettus put an end to the pro-
ceedings by calling for the regular
order of business. Senator Allison
then attempted to secure an agreement
to vote upon the acceptance Of the con-
ference report Of the appropriation
bill. Senator Tillman objected and the
matter went over. The senate then
went into executive session and when
the doors were re-opened Senator For
aker attempted to proceed with a con-
sideration of the Porto Rico govern
ment bill. The point of no quorum was
raised and the senate adjourned.
Washington, March 22.-After a
spirited discussion of over three days,
the Loud bill relating to second class
mail matter was recommitted by the
house to the committee on postoffices
The majority in favor of the motion to
recommit was so decisive that it is re-

the president to govern the Philippines
until congress shall provide otherwise.
urging that Porto Rico be included in
the measure
Washington, March Pin the house
there were some lively debates during
the consideration of the army appro-
priation bill. Little of it was pertinent
to the measure. It covered wide
range of topics, the Porto Rican tariff,
boer war and the Philippines The
charge that the Porto Rican tariff bill
was the result of deal for raising the
republican campaign fund was again
referred to by Mr.. Pierce (dem.,
Tenn.) Mr.. Sulzer (dem., N. W
made an appeal for extension of official
sympathy to the beers and Mr.. Lents
(dem., Ohio) delivered a scathing de-
nunciation of militarism and the war
in the Philippines. His attack aroused
the Indignation of Mr.. Marsh (rep.,
ILL., who in bitter excoriation of the
Ohio member declared the latter's
speech disgrace to the American con-
gress.

Washington, March 28.-The senate
agreed to vote on the Porto Rico gov
eminent and tariff bill next Tuesday,
at 4 o'clock. An important utterance
was made later in the day on the bill
by Senator Davis rep, Minn.) who adj
vocated free trade between the United
States and Porto Rico His principal
proposition was the necessary rooney
to be raised by taxation should not be
raised by a duty levied upon Porto
Rican products but by an internal
revenue tax levied on rum and to-
bacco produced On the island. This
system, in his opinion, would better
suit the people of the United States
and Porto Rico than the proposed tar
if and be as just, equitable and con-
stitutional The amendment offered
by Senator Carter to the Alaskan civil
code bill allowing mining for gold an
der the waters of Cape Nome was
agreed to. The consideration of the
Porto Rican bill was then resumed,
and the free silver coinage amendment
offered by Senator Morgan (dem,,
Ala.) was defeated Is to 33.
Washington, March 28.-The house
devoted practically the whole day to
the consideration of the army appro-
priation bill. Several minor amend
ments were adopted and about half
the bill considered The house passed
the senate bill to approve the revision
and adjustment Of certain sales of
Otoe and Missouri lands in Nebraska
and Kansas.

Washington, March 27.-Little prog
ress was made by the senate with the
Porto Rico tariff and governmental bill
1t was under discussion for nearly
three hours but the greater part of the
time was consumed in a consideration
of the free coinage amendment offered
by Senator Morgan. The amendment
is still pending The Alaskan civil
code bill was considered during the
morning hour The amendment Of
fered by Senator Carter setting aside
the permits hitherto granted by the
secretary of war for mining gold under
the sea on the Alaskan coast precip1-
tated lively debate. The conference
report of the pension appropriation bill
was agreed to. Prior to the resumption
of the consideration of the Porto Rican
bill, Senator Foraker, in charge OF the
measure announced that he had con-
cluded not to ask a separation of the
tariff and civil government bill but de-
cided to proceed with the unfinished
business now before the senate. He
then yielded the floor to Senator Stew
art, who maintained that we had moth
ing to fear either from the people OF
the islands or from the possession Of
the islands. The treaty of Paris, he
said, expressly placed the question of
citizenship of the inhabitants of the
islands in congress. Senator Stewart
