THE WEEK IN CONGRESS
SENATE TO DISPOSE OF ARMY BILL, AND
TAKE Up APPROPRIATION BILLS
MISCELLANEOUS PROGRAMME
N THE HOTTSF
IN THE HOUSE.

washington. Jan. 13.-The Army Reorgan MIA
,,on bill viii continue to engage the attention
NJ the Senate at least on the first days of the
present week The opinion is generally ex-
messed among Senators that the bill will he
scted on by the middle of the week. and even
.bs critics Of the measure join in this prediction
Many phases OF the question involved in tba
army bill remain to be considered, and the
general understanding is that there will still be
no little discussion before the bill can be dis
nosed Of The speech of Senator Platt of Con-
necticut. on Friday last. in defence of the bill
m general principles. will call for replies. and
there are also special features which will re-
ouire more or less attention. Among these are
senator Daniels amendment concerning the an
rointment Of volunteers to Offices in the Regular
army the question Of the disposition of officers
who have held staff positions and the provision
for the enlistment Of Filipinos in the American
Army. The disposal of all these questions un-
doubtedly will I'LL the first two or three days of
the week.
Senator Allison intends to call up the Legis-
latfye Executive and Judicial Appropriation
hill when the Army bill is acted on, but whether
this and other appropriation bills to follow it
shall occupy the exclusive attention of the Sen
ate so long as they the calendar is a
question which has not yet been absolutely de-
that the appropriation bills will be considered
IN advance Of all other measures whenever they
are before the Senate
When there no appropriation bills to be
taken UP. the Ship Subsidy bill will be discussed
There are still many speeches to be made on this
measure, and already there is talk OF night ses-
sions for its consideration when It is taken up.
There is little in the legislative bill TO rouse
discussion, but there is possibility that Sena-
tors hostile 10 the Subsidy bill may use the Ap-
propriation bill for the purpose of delay
Next Saturday will be devoted TO the eulogies
IN memory Of the late Senator Gear.
A programme Of miscellaneous matters will
occupy the attention Of the House the coming
week The River and Harbor bill, which was
debated for three days last week will consume
one and possibly two days. Although the bill
was criticised severely in the debate last week
Il is IN no danger Of failure Most Of the attacks
came from members who were disappointed in
what the bill grants 10 their localities. and the
actual opponents of the measure will be over
whelned when the final vote is reached. The
District Of Columbia Committee, which under
the rules would be entitled to tomorrow, will
demand a day later in the week If they give
way TO the River and Harbor bill tomorrow.
After the latter bill is disposed Of the bill to
revise and codify the postal laws will be taken
up under special order. 1t will be followed
by the District Of Columbia Appropriation BILL
and the latter in turn by the Postoffce Appro-
priation bill, If there is any remaining time.

Kingston. Jamaica, Jan. 13.-The British
steamer Texan. Captain Lund. which arrived
here to-day from Colon, Colombia. reports that
when she left Colon terror reigned among the in
habitants around Panama in consequence of an
other rebel descent upon the city. Heavy fight
ing began outside Panama January 10. and
continued iercely throughout January IL, when
the rebels were making a desperate attempt to
get within the city The Government troops
were strongly contesting the advance of the in
surgents when the Texan left.
Captain Lund says the losses on both sides
had been considerable, though without advan-
tage either way. The rebels had been largely re-
inforced and were we'll stocked with supplies
Two British warships had arrived at Panama
and American cruiser was momentariy ex
pected.
1t appears. also, according to reports brought
by the Texan, that business in Colombia is at
standstill everywhere, with a general enforce
ment Of martial law, and that the people are be-
coming disgusted with the Government owing
to It's failure to crush the rebellion. The fight
ing is a wide field, and the rebels have
become more stubborn than ever.

FREEZING ICE CREAM.
Although 1t Is Il Simple Process, Yer,
Few HOusekeepers Know How
to Do 1t Right.

There is a Boston legend that ice
cream was first made by famous col
ored cook of Boston. which is so often
repeated that it is a pity to recall
the fact that the French made sweet
dishes congealed with ice as long ago
as the age of Cardinal Richelieu, who
was himself a famous bon vivant and
the inventor of the salad, mayonnaise.
The success of an ice cream depends
upon its being properly frozen. A
cream that is congealed until it is as
hard as an icicle is as much a failure
as one half frozen. The process must
be such as to make a creamy but per-
fectly compact mass. 1t is easy to
, freeze cream in few minutes by us
ing an extra amount of salt. This
will produce coarse grained, icy
cream that is anything but palatable.
Use about three pints of coarse rock
salt to - quarts of ice, crushed fine,
for gallon freezer. Put in a layer of
ice, then sprinkle in the salt and pack
in another layer of fine ice. Continue
packing the ice and salt and pressing
it with a blunt, wedgelille piece of
wood. A wooden spoon does very well.
Put the liquid cream into the can,
cover it up and turn the freezer for
about three or four minutes. At the
| end of this time remove the cover
of the can and with a sharp edged
knife scrape the side of the can and
| the bottom. Mix the hard frozen
layer of cream thus scraped off with
the thin cream in the center. Upon
the thorough mixing of the frozen
cream with the liquid cream in the
center the rapid successful freezing
of the cream depends. Close up the
can and turn the freezer again for
two or three minutes and repeat the
scraping of the sides of the can and
mixture of the cream. After turning
the cream again and mixing it, it
should be thick enough to close up
and pack away. Let it remain packed
away for at least two hours before it
| is served.-N. Y. Tribune,

LONG-TONGUED BEES.
Very Few of the Insects Now on the
Market Can Master the RED
Glover Blossoms.

We are now putting forth an unusual
effort to improve the honey bee in
length of tongue. Beekeepers are after
the red clover honey crop, of which the
tubes of the blossoms are so deep the
bees cannot reach the nectar in them.
1t is well known that the common red
clover is the heaviest nectar-produ ucing
plant known, and the honey from it is
of fine quality.
1t has been discovered that an orca-
sional colony of bees work on red clover
blossoms, and in some instances have
stored large surplus from this we'll
known plant. Beekeepers have taken
the hint from this, and have made in
vestigations TO find that some bees have
longer tongues than others, and on this
account are able to reach the honey in
the red clover tubes.
1t was said that the italian bees could
master the red clover blossoms, and the
job was placed in their HANDS, but fter
some big stories of ina agination and the
lapse of time it was discovered that but
very small per cent of bees worked
the red clover. After careful measure
ments of the tongues of bees, it has been
discovered that there is a variation all
the way from fifteen one-hundredths to
twenty-three one-hundredths OF an
inch, the lastnamed being very rare.
1t seems that if we can attain the
length of twenty-five ore-hundredths
of an inch, and have all the bees come
up to this standard, the red clover crop
is ours. Beekeepers have already be-
gun the work to attain this impis
ment by select breeding, and judging
from other Improvements obtained in
different ways by line breeding of the
Italian bees, this improvement is not
an impossibility.
The honey that would be obtained
from red clover if the bees could get it,
would add largely to the total crop Of
this country.-A. NJ. Duff, in National
Rural.
