Intimation Of His Political -
Tendencies.

Detroit, Mich, April 30.-Gov. Pin
gree asserted, in an, interview Sunday,
that the hope of the people in this

There is no use in hoping that the
republican party will do anything
with them"
Are you preparing to announce
your withdrawal from the republican
party?" the governor was asked.

while. You haven't heard me say any,
thing against the democrats for some
time. believe that the hope of the

Senator Mason Oily introduced a
resolution in the United States senate
on the .26th to withdraw troops from
Cuba on July and turn the govern
ment over to the people. The bill to in
crease the powers of the interstate
commerce commission was reported un-
favorably. The right Of Nathan B.
Scott, of West Virginia, to retain his
seat in the senate was discussed, but no
action was taken. In the house the post
Office appropriation bill was passed, as
was also bill to increase the salary of
the director of the census to $500 and
the pay of the supervisors two per cent.
The United States senate on the
eth ratified the treaty with Spain
extending for six months the time in
which Spanish residents of the Phil
ippines may become citizens. Nathan
B. Scott, of West Virginia, was de-
clared entitled to his seat. The house
passed 81 private pension bills. among
them one granting $50 per month to
the widow of Col. Stotsenberg. of Ne
braska, killed in the Philippines, and
adopted the conference report on the
Hawaiian government bill and sent it
to the president.
Senator Pettigrew IS. d. succeeded
in introducing resolution in the Unit
ed States senate on the 28th extending
sympathy to the Beers. A motion to
refer it failed because of the absence
of quorum. The house devoted the
greater part of the session to the SEN
ate bill to adjudicate the claims of citi-
zens of the United States against
Spain assumed by this country by the
treaty of Paris.

SYMPATHY FOR BOERS.
Resolation4 Are Presented In the
Senate--Absence Of = Quorum /.
Prevents Action. S5

Washington, April 80. Quite unex.
.pectedly, the senate on Saturday was
brought face to face with the propo-
sition to extend its sympathy to the
Beers in their war with Great Britain.
In the midst OF the consideration OF
bills Of minor Importance Senator Pet
tigrew Is. d. called up the following
and asked for it's immediate consider
alton: a sa - .l.5.5.. q 4.
" Whereas. From the hour of achieving
their own independence the people Of tho
United States have regarded with sym
pathy the struggles of other people to free
themselves from European domination,
therefore, be 1t -
Resolved, That we watch with deep and
abiding interest the heroic battle of the
South African republics against cruelty
and oppression and our best hopes go out
Tor the full success of their determined
contest for liberty
When Senator Lodge (Mass.) had
formally ascertained that no commit
tee had reported the resolution to the
senate, he moved that it be referred
to the committee on foreign relations.
Without a word Of debate the vote was
taken, 81 senator's voting in favor of
reference and II against it. AS the
vote disclosed the absence of quo
rum, an effort was made to secure one,
but it was unsuccessful, and the SEN
ate adjourned. Party lines were not
drawn in the vote to refer. While all
those who voted against reference are
in favor of the adoption of the reso-
luton, several senators on both sides
of the chamber, who are known to be
favorable to the resolution, voted to
send it to the committee. AS a quo
rum was not present and voting, the
resolution retains its place subject to
call at any time. Beyond the passage
of few bills, no business of i'm
portance was transacted.

private secretary, Lieut.. Caldwell, left

was one of the finest which has ever
left the capital city. 1t consisted of
three handsome cars fitted with every
luxury and to insure the greatest pos
sible comfort for the travellers. Upon

the three cars was painted the adj
mirals flag, and the hotel car was pro-
fusely decorated with flowers and
potted plants. Just before the train
pulled out of the station, Mrs. Dewey
was presented with a handsome bou-
quet of American beauty roses. Prob
ably thousand people were on hand
and cheer went up as the train finally
pulled out.
Washington, April 3O.-Admiral Dew.
ey was seen Sunday at his home, just
before leaving the city for Chicago
and was asked if he had any statement
to make regarding the presidency.
NO." said he, Il think it would be in
bad taste for me to say anything of a
political nature just at this time. AS
the admiral of the navy, accepted the
invitations to. visit Chicago, Jackson
Vile, St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville and
Knoxville, which cities had asked me
10 be their guest, and l do not wish
anything political to enter into the

Automobiles are to replace horses on
the western ranches, and the festive
cowboy will soon pursue the hayward
steer with motor in place of bride, a
reversing lever instead of a roweled
spur. Thus passes the last bit of 'ro-
nance of the plains," the Craftsmanship
of the dashing cowboy. Instead Of
"Lariat Luke" and Broncho Bill' the
cowboy of the future will be "Automo
Pete" or "Busted-Tire Cornelius" and
even the thick headed steer will laugh
at the transformation.

What seems TO have very greatly i'm
pressed the foreign visitors to the re-

New York is the simplicity and cordial
ity with which the American people re-
ceive their presidents and governors.
The absence of pomp, display and cere-
mony when President Mckinley and
Gov. Roosevelt came upon the platform
at Carnegie hall was in striking con-
trast to the fuss made when any old
world sovereign appears in public. But
of course there is'another difference.

fact that the entire structure, from
the digging of the basement to the

a colored man, and every carpenter,

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

draw the saucepan to the side of the
fire to stop the boiling, and add a tea
spoonful of cold water, which prompt
~ causes the grease to rise.
A few drops of alcohol mixed with a
little olive oil in the proportion of two
and one-half parts of oil to half part
of alcohol is better mixture with
which to rub polished tables than the
plain oil. The alcohol cuts and takes
off any grease, dust or trifling stain.
A good way is never to apply liquid
odor directly to an article of clothing,
but keep sachet bags everywhere in the
wardrobe. By this means every article
of clothing has faint aroma, too sub

sleeves at the underarm seam.
