Madison, Feb. 8.-Senator Jones and
the committee on claims locked horns
over the senator's resolution for a
joint committee to prepare a budget
bill. Senator Jones said that no bust
ness corporation would think of con-
Quoting it's affairs in such a manner
as is the business of the state. He
dwelt upon the blunder of the legis.
lature of 1899 when it voted $500 900
in appropriations beyond the revenues
of the state, and insisted that to avoid
the recurrence of such serious mis-
take, it was advisable to have a Joint
committee prepare a budget bill to
carry all appropriations and to ascer
tain what the revenues of the state
will be before making recommenda.
lions to the legislature. After debate
the resolution went over. A joint res
olution was offered by Senator Stout
for constitutional amendment chang
ing the time of election of state super
intendent from fall to spring. A SINH
lar resolution was passed two years
ago, and if passed now goes to the
people. Another constitutional amend.
ment is proposed in a resolution to
give the legislature power to pass a
banking law. This was also passed
two years ago. The bill was killed
which authorized appointees of re-
Igious conferences or of bishops to
perform marriage ceremonies. The
assembly was in receipt of several
bills OF more than common interest.
One introduced by Mr.. Stevens pro-
vides for the establishment of a state
home for inebriates under the charge
OF the board of control, the cost to be
$4,000. Those eligible for admission
are persons practically ruined by the
excessive use of intoxicants or drugs.
Another, by Mr.. Henry, forbids the
sale OF intoxicating liquors within one
mile OF the capitol or university or
within 500 feet of any church n,
school house. Still another, by Mr.
Coapman, provides for the election of
county boards biennially instead of
annually. Other bills introduced were.

FRENCH DEPUTIES ERROR.
The Budget Committee Makes {
Laughable Blunder.

PARIS. Sept. 2S.-At the last meeting
of the Budget Committee a vote was
passed which caused general amusement
at their expense. The measure threat
ened the French Academy with the loss
of the academical allowance unless it
FASTENED the work Of finishing the French
dictionary.
This admonition was conveyed to the
Palais Mazarin on Thursday, where the
immortals were holding their usual week
ly meeting. Francois Cope, the poet,
entertained his colleagues by denouncing
the committee. He said: They are dep
uties who are nothing more than idiots
and asses. That is exactly my view of
them What do they want us to do?
Surely they know that We have not touch
ed historical dictionary since 1872"
Secretary CASTOR Boissier followed in
a speech. in which he said:
These deputies do not know what
they are talking about. What they call
the dictionary of the academy was begun
by order of Cardinal Richelieu and has
already had eight editions since 1886 The
last one was issued in 1879. If they re-
fer to the historical dictionary, they
ought to know that it has long been
abandoned. What we meet for now is to
work on a new edition of the dictionary.
We have got to the letter C, but Parlia-
ment had nothing TO do with the matter

An Amazing Spectacle.

Looking backward over the record of
the Schley Court Of Enquiry during the
past week, the American public is i'm
pressed with the fact that, far from
making any case against the admiral,
the prosecution" has succeeded only
in convincing the country of an
animus against the man who gained
the splendid American naval victory
OF Santiago. which can only be regard
ed as disgraceful to the service and
shame to the Republic. All through
the week the Navy Department, through
its star witnesses, has been trying to
show that Commodore Schley was dere-
lict in his duty in staying off Cienfue-
gos when the enemy was believed tc
be in Santiago Harbor. The effort has,
in fact, resulted in showing that the
information which, If impaired, would
have led him to move, was deliberately
withheld by his subordinates. Captain
Wise. of the Harvard. strangely refrain
ed from advising the commander-in-
chief of the Flying Squadron, on joining
it, of the news he had received at Cape
Haitien in regard to Cervera's where
abouts, and was silent concerning his
own reconnaissance of Santiago Har-
Dor. which had revealed the presence of
the Spanish ships. Captain McCalla's
code signal arrangement with the Gu
bans on shore at Cienfuegos, if known
to Commodore Schley, would have en-
abied him TO learn at once that the
Spanish squadron was not in that port.
to r.
son was writing him to go to Santiago.
unless he believed Cervera to be at
Cienfuegos Then Commodore Schley's
squadron was short of coal-very short,
in truth-and that fact added TO his
embarrassments. Were it possible to
reach the bottom Of that coal shortage
we should not improbably find that
Commodore Schley was ordered about
premeditatedly in a way to involve ex-
actly that state of things at a critical
moment.
All through the campaign, as navy
ring evidence has shown, Commodore
Schiey was surrounded by subordinates
who. IL they were not under direct or
ders TO hamper him in the discharge of
his duty, and prevent a successful per
formance of it, certainly acted as if
they had been under such orders. The
impression made upon the American
people by the witnesses for the prose-
cution" is. that although no such or
ders probably We're issued. there was s.
tacit understanding that the Navy De-
partnent did not intend that any hero
should emerge from the campaign ex-
cept the one selected by Messrs. Long

and crowninshield in the person OF

and Crowninshield in the person of
Captain Sampson.
1t is matter for universal amaZement
that. considering the fiat failure of its
own witnesses to do more than wreck
the department case, and expose Its
true inwardness to the country, the de-
partment should have goaded Rear Ad-
miral Schley. in every way possible, into
calling for court of enquiry. Con-
ceding ordinary common sense to
CrowninslIield, Lemly, and others of the
Sampson clique, it is inconceivable that
they should not have known the weak
ness, and to their cause the danger, of
the testimony upon which they have re-
lied so confidently. They seem to have
constructed their plan of crusade upon
the theory that they could count upon
a majority of the Court. But the mere
fact that Admiral Dewey was made
president of it, precluded any idea that
it would be other than fair and Impair
tial, and the removal of Rear Admiral
Howison from the bench accentuated
public confidence. Perhaps the depart
ment has counted too much upon an
assumed probability that naval olncerS
under oath would carry out the policy
and course they had pursued under the
old general understanding. irrespective
of their sworn duty as witnesses. Be
that as it may, the navy ring has put
it's best foot forward only to have 1t
stepped upon by an elephant The
ring knows it, Sampson knows it. or
ba would NOT have apnIied for counsel
additional to that furnished by the de-
partment; and the country knows 1t,
and is commensurately pleased-pleased
to believe that in spite of a most OBJ
v7cus and disgracefui conspiracy
against him, justice is likely to be done
to the gallant American officer who
won the glorious naval victory off San
tiago.

THE JAvANEsE GIBBON.
Some Interesting observations Made
by Prof. Hneckel

LONDON, Sept. Zs.-Prof Haeckers lat
est publication contains some curious
information about the human monkey OF
Java, n most interesting specimen OF the
young gibbon. having beer watched by
Prof. Haeckel at his own house in Java
The species is found only in Java. and is
called hylobates leuciscus. The natives
call it GA, on account of the Characters
tic sound it utters.
When standing il Is scarcely taller than
child of six years. The head is compar-
atively small and it has small. slender
waist The legs are short and the arms
much longer The face is more human
than that of the orang-outang Prof
Haeckel says:
Its physiognomy reminded me of the
manager of an insolvent bank poudering
with wrinkled brow over the suits of
crash. Distrust of the GA toward all
white Europeans is very noticeable. On
the other hand, he was on terms of inti-
mate friendship with the MaIays in our
household, especially with the small chill
dren. He never crawled on all fours
when tired of running. but stretched on
the grass beneath the tropical sun with
one arm under his head. When held
tasty food just out of his reach he cried
like naughty child 'huite. huite,'
sound altogether different from .oa, oa,'
with which he expressed various emo
tions. He had third and more shrill
sound when he was suddenly frightened.
THE speech of these human monkeys
has not many different sounds, but they
are modulated and altered In tone and
strength. with a number of repetitions.
They also use many gestures. motions
with their hands and grimaces, which are
so expressive in manner that a careful
observer can detect their different wish
es and various emotions.
My specimen liked sweet wine. He
grasped a cup in both hands and drank
like a child. He peeled bananas and
oranges just as we are accustomed to do,
holding the fruit in his left hand. Most
OF the Malays do not regard the gibbon
and orang-outang as brutes. They be-
lieve the former are bewitched men and
the latter criminals who have been
changed to monkeys as punishment.
Others think they are men in the course
of metempsychosis.''

The First Cup Race.

We think that there are many gener-
Gus minded Americans this morning
who feel sense of regret that after his
magnificent fight of yesterday Sir
Thomas Upton should not have been
able to place one victory to his credit.
Sir Thomas is such a princely sports
man and good fellow that great
many people on this side are in mortal
danger of losing their patriotism in the
matter of the Americas Cup.
Shamrock's performance yesterday
seems to show that he still has a fight
ing chance, and if the deities of ocean
should happen to side with him and
bless him with victory, we do not be-
lieve that there will be any great ag-
gregation of American wet eyes to
wipe. If the Shamrock be the better
boat, good luck to her!
