Politicians here claim 10 see three prop

pointment of Henry c. Payne as Post

First-That President Roosevelt intends

DISCUSSION RESUMED IN THE HOUSE
The Texas Representative Replies
to Chairman Payne in Regard
to the Necessity for the
Proposed Legislation.

Discussion Of the Philippine tariff bill
was resumed in the House directly after
the morning business had been dispensed
with. Mr. Hepburn took the chair and
Representative Henry Of Texas was recog-
nized in opposition to the bill.
In opening his speech Mr.. Henry said
that the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee had stated yesterday that the
recent decision of the Supreme Court had
made the passage of the bill necessary.
Possible, But Not Necessary
Mr. Henry denied this, saying it made
the bill possible, but there was nothing
in it to make the bill necessary.
This bill is TO be put through the
House" ne said. at the behest OF the
Sugar Trust and the other great trusts
Of the country. 1t is nonsense to talk
about the passage of the bill being neces-
saTy TO provide school fund for the

SOME CIRCUS TALK.
Much Guessing as to What BECOMES
of a show In the Winter.

Of n show In the winter.
What becomes of the circus when 1t
closes its season and disappears from
the public view is matter of much
guess to the average person who an
nually visits Madison Square Garden,
Were it is conglomeration of wires,
nets, stages, rings, clowns, horses.
monkeys. and what not.
The unsophisticated regard the win
ter day as day of rest for the circus.
Not SO, they are the ones If real activ-
ity. Months prior to the departure Of
the Big Forepaugh & Sells Bros. shows
from it's winter quarters at Columbus,
O., to begin its rehearsals at Ambrose
Park, Brooklyn, preparatory to the
Madison Square Garden engagement.
tue work of reconstruction and animal
culture is conducted. The winter quar-
tiers, known as Sellsville. is city of
shops, warehouses and great barns.
The atmosphere Is hourly rent with
the commands of trainers, shouts OF
herdmen, roaring of lions, weird cries
of mountain lions and tigers, the chat
ter of monkeys, the barking of sea
lions the squeal of rhinoceros; add to
this medley is added the sound of ham,
mer and anvil in me car shops, black
smith and carpenter shops, where the
work of rehabilitation is in progress.
Then again there is silent army OF
workers, putting in proper shape the
mammoth wardrobe; cutting and sew
ing bolts of rich silk and satin: the
decorators are spreading gold leaf,
paints and oils with lavish hand, and
from great timbers, tent poles, large and
small, are hewn by careful hand.
Throughout the winter the activity
continues. 1t is no uncommon sight
to see a procession of wagons a half
mile long enter the city of Sellsvil'e,
each carrying a quantity of feed for ono
or another kind of animal. The circus
manager thinks nothing of making a
contract for one thousand tons of hay.
Six hundred horses, twenty-five ele-
plants and score of other hay-eating
animals, make short work of that guam
tity. Four or five beeves will make a
meal for the menagerie animals, while
a half carload of bananas and twenty
bushels of peanuts, with some sort of
emulsion or consumption medicine. will
keep the monkeys out of trouble for
the winter.
These ideas are suggested by the
visit of the great Forepaugh & Sells
Bros. shows. which will exhibit to-
morrow afternoon and night at the
bridge park.
