Washington, June "a tornado of
partisan debate swept over the senate
with Senators Hanna, Pettigrew of
South Dakota and Carter of Montana
as chief figures. For sensational Grim
nations, for bitter personalities and
for poignant invective the debate ex-
ceeded anything heard on the floor of
the chamber for many years Senator
Bacon contended it was the duty of
congress to remain in session in
definitely until important antitrust
legislation was enacted. The confer
ence report of the Alaskan code bill
was adopted. The bill now goes to
the president. Senator Scott CIV. Va.)
then addressed the senate on the Phil
ippine question. Senator Pettigrew,
resuming his speech on the Philippine
question contended that Admiral
Dewey had recognized Aguinaldo's Of
fetal rank, and asserted that Manila
was taken by the Americans by agree
ment with the spaniards. The bill to
regulate the collection of taxes in the
district OF Columbia was passed
Washington, June 5.-The house en-
tered the throes if dissolution, and all
day and all the evening the galleries
were crowded with spectators. Pictur-
esque incidents were few. Partisan
passion in the face of the impending
presidential campaign broke out sew
eral times during the afternoon and
hot words were banded across the
political aisle. During the interims
between the consideration of the con-
ference reports members clamored like
mad men in a wheat pit on a panic
day for recognition of private bills
upon which their political salvation
might depend Hour after hour the
conferees struggled on with their re-
ports, the speaker firm and resolute,
steering the house through a turmoil
of confusion

Washington, June Soon after the
sented from the people of California
asking that the government provide
some relief for the starving people of
India. Senator Hale (Maine) with
this as his text, severely arraigned
Great Britain for expanding hundreds
of millions of dollars in crushing the
liberty and freedom of south Africa
instead of caring for the helpless and
dying people of England's chief colony.
Senator Aldrich (R ID charged Sena-
tor Hale with making political
speeches on irrelevant matters and a
little later, when Senator Hale re-
ported further disagreement on the
naval appropriation bill an exciting
discussion arose over the armor plate
question. A sharp political twist was
given to the debate by the speech
which Senator Hanna (Ohio) delivered
for leaving the whole matter in the
hands of the senate conferees and of
comforting discretionary power upon
the secretary of the navy in accord
ance with the house proposition. He
became involved in controversy
with Senators Tillman IS. CD and
Allen (Neb) over the governments
ability to manufacture armor salts
factorily, in course of which sparks
flew TO the intense interest of the
auditors The military academy ap-
preparation bill was passed. It car
ried an amendment making Gen.
Miles and all future commanders of

Gen. Corbin major general.
Washington, June 1.-The house
after a lively debate extending over
two days defeated the joint resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment

under the constitution to adopt an
amendment to the constitution. The

Of the required two-thirds, 1872. The
features were the closing speeches by
Messrs Dearmond (Mo.) and Little
field Me.) for the respective sides and
a short speech of Mr.. Mccall (Mass.)
against the resolution. Mr.. Mccall
has distinguished himself before dur
ing the session by opposing the action

bill Five democrats, Campbell
(Mont), Naphen Qll), Scudder IN.

the democrats against it. These were
the only breaks from party lines.
The populists voted against the reso-
luton.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 31.-At the conclu-
sion Of the session lasting eight hours
the senate passed the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill, which has been under
consideration for nearly week. An
amendment providing for an appro-
priation of $5,000,000 for the Louisiana
purchase exposition to be held in St.
Louis in 1903 was contained in the bill
An amendment was incorporated pro-
viding for beginning work on a mem
Crial bridge between Washington and
Arlington cemetery, to be erected in
memory of the dead of both the union
and the confederate armies. While
the bill carries only about 100000 for
the project, it is expected the ulti-
mate cost will be about SIS 900 ,OO0 The
passage of the sundry civil bill leaves
only two general appropriation bills
to be acted upon by the senate, the
military academy and general defic-
iency measures. Senator Gallinger Of
fered an amendment appropriating
$4,000 to pay salaries and expenses of
the commission of five persons to in
vestigate and report upon the trade of
China. Japan and other oriental
countries Disagreement on the armor
plate, naval cadet course, ocean and
lake-surveys, and other items of the
naval appropriation bill were reported.
The senate agreed to further confer
ence and Senators Hale, Perkins, and
Tillman were named as conferees.
Consideration of the commission
amendment being resumed, Senators
Jones (Ark.) made a vigorous attack
upon the administration of the Paris
exposition commission by Commits
sioner General Ferdinand w. Peck.
He pointed out that the law creating
the commission made it mandatory
upon the commissioner general to
make detailed report of the expendi-
lures to congress. Up to January
Peck had accounted for less than
100000 of the $1,400,000 appropriated
for exposition purposes.
Washington, May 31.-The house I'M
der special order after an exceedingly
hot debate in which the leaders on
both sides charged each other with
playing into the political galleries, en-
tered upon consideration of the reso-
luton reported from the Judiciary
committee proposing a constitutional
amendment to lodge in congress the
power to define, regulate, control,
prohibit or dissolve trusts monopolies,
or combinations The democrats
charged that the proposed amendment
was Objectionable in every way; that
it was mere political pretext; that it
was unnecessary, and was proposed at
the end of the session for election pur-
poses in the coming campaign. The
republicans repudiated the charge Of
bad faith. A constitutional amend
ment requires a tWo-thirds vote to
adopt, or 236 votes with present mem
bership of the house. The republi-
cans have only 1856 votes, SO less than
the requisite two-thirds.

An Eighteenth Century "Kfck-Up."
John Hunter, the most famous sur
geon IN the world. but an eccentric
man of bearish manners, had an inter.
esting wife. who was both witty and
beautiful.
Such distinguished women of the
time as Madame D'Arblay and Mrs.
Montagu were Mrs. Hunters friends.
She wrote poetry, and her lyric, "My
mother bids me bind my hair" is i'm.
mortalized by the musical setting given
to 1t by Haydn. She Is said to have Sc
lected the words from one Of Haydn's
oratorios, and a rough draft Of them in
her handwriting still exists.
But Hunter, "whose mind" as Sir
James Paget says in recent biogra-
ply, "was Set on science, while his busi-
ness was practical surgery, did not al.
ways approve Of his gifted wife's pur.

The company retired. But whether

The Buccaneers.

The original ''boucaniers" were O

waist they were generally clothed in
a sunburned and weather beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons of coarse
linen, dyed and stiffened with the blood
of bulls and pigs and held up by belt
of rawhide, STUCK full Of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they car
ried long barreled Grelock. loaded
with ounce balls of lead.
They were animated with common
hatred of the Spaniard, which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per-
son or property, and by a wild sort Of
attachment to each other in their peril
Gus lives, which led to their being
known as the Brethren Of the Coast"
When the Spaniards drove them into
the career Of marauders upon the
sea, the word buccaneer took a new
meaning, though they were also known
as freebooters. This was a mongrel
English word, ''buiten" being Dutch
and "bueten" German for plumber. Of
this word the French made ''fribus-
ter" with the silent. and then soften
ed it to ''flibustier," which the Span
iards modified into tilibustero. So we
finally got the word back, with a new
meaning and special application as
