HARMONY IN THE SENATE.
Little Doubt of Passing Colonial
Measures.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Cuba has been
submit This Is the information bear
ing upon the outcome of the present
effort to establish relations amounting
TO those of protectorate over the is
land republic that has come to the ad-
ministration.
How Cuba will take the passage OF
the Plat amendment concerns Presi-
dent Mckinley at this moment much
less than how congress is going to
adopt it. He hopes the vote will be
practically unanimous. He is likely to
realize his hope. The wave of harmony
that swept over the senate yesterday
has carried Populism almost beneath
the surface and has almost submerged
Democracy on this the most important
question to which the p. esident has d.
rected the attention Of the Fifty-sixth
congress.
When the senate reconvened last even
ing, the managers of the army bill
hoped to make rapid progress, but they
were disappointed. Senator Foraker
called up the conference report on the
Cuban claims commission bill, which
was expected to occupy only a few
minutes, but which led to a debate of
more than an hour. Mr.. Foraker was
forced to withdraw the report to pre-
vent the debate running the entire
evening.
Senator Hansbrough then called at
tention to a reference made by Senator
Stewart to charges against Judge
Noyes of Alaska and made brief de-
Tense of the judge. This aroused Sen
ator Stewart, who talked until 10 min
utes of 10 o'clock. Mr.. Pettigrew fol
lowed with a brief speech on Judge
Noyes, and it was 10 minutes before
10 o'clock when the army bill was at
last laid before the senate, and Mr..
Turner began a long speech against
the Philippine and Cuban amendments.
Senator Turner was still talking at
IL o'clock, when Senator Heitfeld NOV
ed an adjournment. This was voted
down, and Mr. Aldrich then appealed
to the Democrats to agree to take
vote on the bill and amendments at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Senator Jones
objected to the hour, but expressed
confidence that a vote would be reach
ed at a reasonable hour today.
Messrs. Hale and Aldrich declared
their satisfaction with this, and there
was every prospect that the bill would
be passed today, when Mr.. Pettigrew
gave notice that he proposed to fight to
the end of the session. regardless Of
whether an extra session should result
or not. He is the only man who seems
disposed to prolong the struggle, and it
it believed a vote can be reached some
time tonight.
The senate in executive session last
night confirmed all the naval nomina-
lions for promotion sent in except those
of Admirals Sampson and Schley.

There has been some question, says
The Electrical Engineer, as to the rea-
son why certain cables lose their con-
Quoting properties and have in some
instances to be replaced. A learned

resented, but Gertrude stood firm.
Mrs. Caulkington's critical eyes were
already boring holes In the drawing
room furniture, and the luncheon hour
was but three minutes In the future.
Isabel, In her prettiest silk waist,
was arranging the oyster plates upon
the table preliminary to ushering their
guest into the dining room.
Suddenly purling of Bingham skirts
brushed the silence of the place, and a
soft voice sounded In IsabePs ear.
"If yo' please, miss" said the voice,
Miss Gertrude done send me. l am
de maid to ordah."
"GSod graciousy' shrieked Isabel I'M

oyster plate in her hand narrowly es-
Gaping calamity.
She said Good gracious" once more,
and very fervently, when she turned,

waiting to be assigned to her duties,
stood the most desirable of colored
mattresses.
She was tall, well poised and, bar
ring her skin, a strikingly handsome
young woman. Her pink Bingham
gown fitted to perfection and closely
resembled one worn by Gertrude for
mornings on the porch. Her dainty
ruffied apron was strikingly like one
which Isabel herself wore while sew
ing. Perched saucily In her black, rip
ply hair she wore bit of a cap, which,
when examined at close range, seemed
to be nothing more than a tuft of white
lace cleverly pinned.
Isabel took second look at her new
acquisition and dropped into a chair,
laughing weakly.

the maid repeated softly, IAN she said

leave all de servin to me-"
"Oh, Gertrude, Gertrudew gurgled Is
abel. what nonsense won't that child
attempt?'
The luncheon was faultlessly served.
Never was waitress quicker, lighter,
softer, more all seeing, more graceful.
Even the critical Mrs. Caulkington
was impressed.
AltcI "dlu, Whch the luuCucOu party
had adjourned to the drawing room, the
guest deliberately led around to the
subject of domestics.
do you find it as hard to get good
girls in the suburbs as we do in the
city?' she asked. II imagine not, for
that young waitress of yours is perfec-
ton itself"
well, good girls are very scarce
here" answered Isabel, land I've no
doubt we'd have endless trouble IL we
had to change. But, you see, we have
raised Anna ourselves. She knows our
own ways and suits us perfectly. We've
had her for more than ten years. l
know she'll never leave us-unless, of
course, she marries and has home of
her own" ...
my dear girl, you simply have a
treasure" cried the visitor, with
warmth .If 1 were in your place,
would shiver at the very thought of
losing her. And, do you know, since
I've seen how perfectly your little table
is arranged and served I'm really afraid
of what Miss Isabel will think when
she comes to me In the city. 1 hope
you will close your eyes to a number of
things in my housekeeping, Miss Isa-

"Oh, am not critical, Mrs. Caulking-
ton," laughed IsabeL "And every one
knows how hard it is to get maids like
Anna nowadays."-Whatt to Eat.

Guiguinto. Philippine Islands, Feb.
2T.-The United States Philippine COM
mission has arrived from Manila and
has organized provincial government
for this province, which until recently

Neglected Dryden.

Notwithstanding Lowell's high praise
of Dryden's prose works and the accu-
sation he brings against literary plum
derers of this magnate of letters 200
years ago, few people except scholars
now ever open Dryden's essays, though
they are well worth careful perusal
and study, in spite of Swift's malicious
and witty lines:
Read an the prefaces Of Dryden,
For these our critics much confde In.
Though merely writ at first for filing
To raise the volumes price . shilling.
There is truth as well as wit In this
characterization, for Dryden was in
some respects but a literary hack, al
though a man Of genius. But, being a
genius, 1t was impossible for him to
write anything, however carelessly and
slipshod, without something finding its
way In that will arrest the readers at
tention even yet, after the lapse of two
centuries. Unlike the other and small
er literary hacks of his time, whatever
Dryden wrote he wrote freely, and
there Is an absence of cramped formu-
las and of pedantic utterances, as a
rule, which Is interesting. Even In his
shilling prefaces to which Swift al
ludes the reatler will have no difficulty
In discovering a man of genius, one of
many lovable traits and great charac-
teristics, and at least Dryden's own
likings and judgments are set forth
pleasantly and frequently in convinc-
ing manner. He is one of the old writ
prs that weary mOdernS given uD to
novel reading could profltably turn
back to and peruse to their own great
adyantage.-Exchang e..
