Roman Catholic ChapIains.

Representative Fitzgerald of Massachu-
sets has introduced the following resoIu'
ton:
Whereas It appears from an examina.
ton of the records of the War Depart
ment that the number Of Roman Catholic
chaplains in the army is entirely dispro-
portionable to the number of Roman Catho-
lie soldiers; and whereas. it is desirable
that the soldiers in the army should have
as far as is practicable the spiritual 40
vice and direction of ministers of their own
faith: therefore, be it resolved, etc, that
the Secretary of War be and he Is hereby
instructed to give just and proper repre-
sentation in the future appointment to
chaplaircies in the army TO the large num-
Der of Roman Catholic soldiers In the SER
vice Of the government"
Another resolution by Mr.. Fitzgerald
makes similar provision relative to chap
laincies in the navy.

CONTRACT FOR CENSUS PRINTING
Amendment Giving Director Power
Stricken Out

The House yesterday raised the Senate
bill to extend the powers of the director Of
the census, after striking out the commit.
tee amendment to authorize the director 10
contract for extra printing with private
contractors. The whole fight " as upon that
amendment.
The influence of the public printer and
the labor organizations of the country were
employed against it, and after a lively de-
bate of several hours il was oyerwhelm-
fngly defeated. The publication of the re-
ports of the twelfth census, therefore, will
be made by the public printer as In the
past.
The debate continued until 4 o'clock,
many members participating on each side.
Mr.. Wilson IS. CO gave notice of an
amendment he should offer to authorize the
director of the census to direct the public
printer to procure the additional equipment
necessary to comply with the law with re-
gard to the time limit in which the reports
of the census shall be issued
AT o'clock the bill was read for amend
ment under the hve-minute rule. The COM
mittee amendment to the bill for the coll
lection of statistics relating to the deaf
dumb and blind was adopted.
An amendment was adopted to require
the collection of statistics regarding mines,
mining and minerals.
Mr.. Flynn (Ohla.) offered an amendment
for the apporuonment of the employees Of
the census equitably among the states and
territories. He said every representative
had been allowed six appointments. He had
only two appointments.
IF that anlI ndment is adopted asked
Mr.. Lentz (0hin|, will Il be possible 20
have democrat appointed enumeration in
the north?'
IF / had my way" replied Mr.. Flynn.
there would not be a democratic enumer-
ator north or south" applause and laugh
ter)
The amendment was lost When section
was reached, MIR. Hopkins. in charge of
the bill, offered the following substitute for
it: That the public printer shall establish
in the public printing office a division or
branch printing Office, which shall be under
the direction and control of the public
printer, of sufficient capacity to meet the
demands" etc, of the census act
The committee amendments, as modified,
were bitterly opposed by score of MEM
bers, and was Overwhelmingly defeated.
The committee then rose and the bill was
passed. A conference was ordered on the
House amendments, and the following con-
ferees were appointed: Messrs. Hopkins
QlL); Russell Comm, and Griffith (ind.).
At o'clock the House adjourned

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE
Imports and Exports in 1899 We're Over Two

Falling on In Shipments of AgricuI-
tural Products and Increase
in Manufactures,

The foreign commerce of the United
States in 1899 amounted to over two billion
dollars. and of this enormous sum more
than three-ffths was exports and less than
two-1fths imports. The exact figures, just
issued by the treasury bureau of statistics,
are:

Excess of exports over imports 475 $50 021
The excess ofuexpotts is larger than in
any preceding year except 1898 OF the ex-
| ports. manufactures form a larger proper
ton than ever before, while of the imports,
raw materials for use of our manufac-
turers form larger proportion than ever
before. q u

"A study OF the imports and exports of
1899 compared with those of earlier wears
presents some interesting facts. From 1860
to 1899 imports doubled, while exports
quadrupled The imports in 1869 were
s4's' 4''.ss4. and the exports $751; 9ss.
making an excess of imports over exports
amounting to slolo79,90G. while as above
l,o the excess of exports in 1889 is

exports of foreign merchandise form n
slnaller percentage year by year of our to-
TAI exports, though this is due to the very
rapid increase in expectation of domestic
merchandise. the value of foreign merchan-
use exported in 1899 being about double

merchandise in 1899 were four times as
much as in 1863 e q"

Lived With Shot Through Heart.

A dispatch from Baltimore says: The
pcst-mcrtem examination of the body of
Charles F. Seeberger. the electrician who
was shot last Saturday night at Brunswick.
Nd, by Conductor Jerome Swartley, and
who died Tuesday, revealed the fact that
Seeberger lived sixty hours with bullet
hole through the center of his heart.
The autopsy disclosed four wounds in all.
two of which were but flesh deep. A wound
in the abdomen perforated the intestines
seven times but the post-mortem physi-
clans assert that this wound did not cause
death.
The wound I'M the heart, the doctors say.
was of such d nature that instantaneous
death should have Resulted, according to
understood rules, and that the man lived
sixty hours after receiving it is regarded as
little short of miraculous.

A GOOD STORY.

Here's good story by the "Woman
About Town." editor Of the Washington
POST
The wife Of member of a Western
delegation in Congress has been telling
ME something about a woman who set
Los Angeles by the ears ten years or so
ago. She was very rich then though
now one Of her daughters has position
in one OF the departments of the govern
ment here in town. 1t was the question
Of receiving or not receiving on New
Years Day that brought up the story,
for it was ON New Years Day that the
newly-rich woman astonished Los Ange
les by her audacity. Los Angeles So
ciety was morbidly exclusive in those
days. 1t takes a Western town to be
like that. The old family set was harder
to get into than the money vaults of the
Bank of England. The newly-rich lady
came to town with her family, and So
ciety turned her down and spread a
heavy frost over head while they had
her down. Her money had been made
in pork, and society in Los Angeles pre-
ferred money made in gold and timber
and railroads. Nine Nouvelle Richie
bided her time. She played her cards
skillfully, and in the end she won. or,
at least, she won in so far that all the
eligible and ineligible men in town found
her charming, and her house the most
delightful in all the town to visit. She
spent her money as if it had been
creased, as her enemies declared it was.
She made herself n power. She made
women afraid not to invite her, and then
one fine day it was announced that she
would keep open house ON the first day
Of the new year. Her reception was a
gorgeous affair. Every man in the so
ciety of the town called. Madame had
cakes and wine for her friends, and as
each Of them left her own jeweled hands
pinned TO his coat lapel bit of blue
ribbon, to which was fastened a tiny
white china pig-a veritable pig. Men
went about the streets Of Los Angeles all
that day wearing the badge of the newly
rich lady. She had made her money. in
pork she gloried in the fact, and she
deftly and daintily slapped Los Angeles
in the face to let the town know it. They
always called her the china pig lady
after that, and to this day everybody
agrees that the pig was emphaticany an
animal that deserved the blue ribbon.
