after the holiday recess, evinced
a disposition to take up the work
of the session in earnest. A
large number of important bills were
introduced. The most notable event
of the day was the protest entered by
Senator HOar to the summary ,dispo-
sition of his resolutions asking for
information about the conduct of the
Philippine war. He indicated a pur-
pose to demand consideration for such
a measure even at the expense of the
financial bill. Senator Foraker in
PRODUCED a bill providing for

the island and all inhabitants are to be
made citizens of the United States.
The citizens are also to elect a dele
gate to congress who shall have a seat

Washington, Jan. 3.-The house in
a session of fifteen minutes yesterday
had little furry over the attempt by
Mr.. Sulzer of New York to secure con-
sideratiOn for resolution asking for
information concerning the relations
OF the treasury department with the
National City bank of New York. The
resolution was referred to the coE2-
Enittee on ways and means. Mr.. Hit

THE SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.

From krugersdorp to Lichtenberg,
And back to Potchefstrum;
From Swaziland to Petersburg
Is heard the Burgher drum;
From Wakkerstrum to Ermelo,
From HOopstad 10 Dundee.
They're marching down to Rustenburg
And up from Kimberley.
From Heidelberg and Lydenburg,
johannesburg and all,
From Standerton and Barbeton
The answer to the call.
And Ermelo is all agog,
And Ventersdorp is wuss;
And latest news from fredericksburg
All indicate a fuss.

OLD PONY EXPRESS REDIVIVUS.
Hebron, Neb, Witnesses a Revival OF
Famous Cross Country Riding.

Forty years ago the great plains Of
the west were crossed by a set of dar-

tradition are filled with stories Of the
dolngs OF this band of daring men.
But that was at time when it was
dangerous to stroll beyond the parade
ground at Fort Leayenworth unless
one had friendly standing or whole

who went forth might fall victims to

20 minutes and 80 seconds; K~eenwright
came in second in % minutes and 20

half a minute behind keenwright. A

the course was a di~sagreeable one in
consequence.

The Fourth of July celebration in
Laramie passed off very smoothly. The
ten or twelve special policemen APP
pointed for the occasion had little to do
and no more than the ordinary number
of arrests were made for drunkenness.
No robberies or rows were reported to
the police, notwithstanding the large
proportion of the tough element which
was present from the grading camps
near the city.
The weather could not have been
more favorable. Clouds obscured the
sky nearly all day and the temperature
was moderate, but the threatened storm
never materialized. A cool breeze pre-
vailed, but the wind was not strong
enough to raise the dust.
An immense throng of strangers was
in attendance all day, and though there
was little excitement the people SEEM
ed to enjoy themselves in a quiet way.
Restaurants, soda water fountains, and
ice cream, lemonade and fruit stands
did a thriving business, and every sa-
loon in town was taxed to its utmost
to meet the requirements Of the thirs>
ty but good-natured crowds.

circus would interfere with the pro-
gram of sports, but there seemed to be

The masked carnival which was an
nounced for 3 o'clock was not a success.
Only a few maskers appeared and no at
tempt at a parade was made. a cake
walk on Second street about I o'clock
was participated in by three couples Of
darkies and a large crowd witnessed
their antics, which were gone through
with to music furnished by a circus
band.
The Fourth Of July committee did
not provide fireworks for the evening
and everything in this line was furnish
ed by individuals.
The circus tent was crowded again
in the evening and the streets were
.thronged with people, but this fact did
not prevent a good attendance at the
dances given respectively by Hook and
Ladder company No. 1 at Maennerchor
and the Tigers at North Star hail. \
good time was enjoyed at both parties.
The Tigers" entertained a number Of
their Cheyenne competitors at their
party.
AT THE PENTTENTIARY.
Through the efforts of the officers Of
the penitentiary and the kindness Of
the singers of Laramie, the nations
natal day was spent very pleasantly by
the men.
The exercises began with the singing
of America" by the choir and audi
Ience. Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean" was ch2rminly rendered by
IMesdames Rom@nger, Jones and Rau-
ner, Messrs. Tefft and Marquardt, and
Mrs. Lee as organist.
The chaplain gave a brief address on
the new respon sibilities confronting the
nation, after which the program was
~enlivened by songs and monologues by
the Roy Crawford Stock company. now
in the city, who generously gave theiI
services to the entertainment Of the
prisoners.
The choir sang "Noah's Ark" in per
feet time. and Mrs. Rominger favored
the audience with a solo, AS I'd Moth
ing Else to Do" sung sweetly as always
with this delightful vocalist.
One or two selections from gospe.
songs sung by the men completed the
program. A hearty vote Of thanks tc
