THE SENATE ROUTINE.
The Agricultural Appropriations Bill
Debated without Result

At the close OF morning business IN the
Senate yesterday Mr.. Proctor called up
the Agricultural Appropriation bill, and its
consideration was proceeded with. The
measure carries S4,503. 500 an increase OF
S1tSS20 over the bill as it passed the
House. The only change recommended by
the Senate Committee is that the depart
ment be arranged in four bureaus. as fol-
lows: Plant industry, forestry, chemistry.
and soils.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas objected to the
lump sum appropriations for salaries.
Mr.. Proctor eXpla ned that the Secretary
CT Agriculture was compelled to make a
detailed report of all expenditures.
Mr. TiilmGn said that every Cabinet
officer ought to be compelled to do like
wise. He said that MIR Wilson was or
dered to do this because he looked after
the interests CT the despised farmcr.
The bill was then read again fer amend
mcnts, and Mr. Proctor explained the
provisions OF the measure.
The bill having been once read in fun
there WIS difference Of opinion among
Senator's as to the parliamentary course 10
be observed in relation to a further read
ing. and to the Offering of amendments.
Before the difficulty was adjusted 1t was
ordered on melton Of Mr. Spooner that, at
] o'clock today. the Senate shall proceed
to the hall Of the House of Representa-
tives to take part in the counting of the
electoral votes for President and Vice
President. BY unanimous consent it was
ordered that the Agricultural Appropria-
tion bill be again read in full for amend
meIt, and that the committee amend
ments be first acted upon.
Several minor provisions in the bill were
Taly
side. and were made the material fer
tedious discussion in which the whole
days session was consumed. Finally,
without coming to a vote on its passage,
the bill went over till today, and the Sen
ate, ut SOS. adjourned.

a EoCR BREAKFAST.
VERY Few People Eat "a Good HrenI>-
fast.

"All want for breakfast is roll and a
cup of coffee
This remark is heard not only in hotels,
restaurants and lunchrooms. but it is the

would seem that the first meal OF the day
should be a hearty, substantial one, and If
we all lived natural, unartiiicial lives. it
would be so. but none of US do, hence
breakfast is a mere pretence.
Says a latter day philosopher: During
many years of active business life, ] never

lunch and dinner.
My physician told ME / was a victim of

permit it, and to get relief l resorted to
medicines and prescriptions, and it was
purely accidental that hit upon one rem

drug store one evening ! noticed a num-
Der of people buying Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, 4 widely advertised preparation

and in a week my appetite picked up, l
began to feel my old ambition for wol, re-
turning and could eat a good breakfast
because l wanted it. and from that time to
this, take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as
regularly as | take my meals, not because

NO RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Republican Senator'S Decide to Let
II Die ON the Calendar.

II became evident yesterday thai the
Democratic Senators are disposed to o.
pose to the end the efforts of the Reuubli-
cans TO get vote upon the Ship Subsidy
bill and the advocates OF this measure
are, therefore more discouraged than at
any time since 1t was reported from the
Commerce Committee II has been de-
cided. however. not to withdraw or form
ally abandon the bill under any circuu-
stances. but merely TO give other matters
the right Of way whenever IL is 'ound
impossible TO get a vote
The belief is now general among the in
huential Republicans in the Senate that
the River and Harbor bill will be .ven-
tually abandoned. The Commerce Com
mittee are now at work upon the bin and.
contrary TO general opinion, are decreas-
ing instead of increasing the sums appTo-
priated for various projects. Sufficient
progress has already been made TO indi-
cate that when the bill is reported from
the committee the aggregate amount OF
its appropriations will be less than when
the bill passed the House
The feeling is becoming widespread in
the Senate. however. that the principle
and scope Of the bill are bad. and Il is
not at all improbable that IL will be al
lowed to die on the calendar. The indi-
cations are stronger than ever that there
will be no Cuban legislation at this Sos
sion and the chairman of one of the most
important Senate committees said yester-
day that an extra session OF the new
Congress soon after the 4th of March now
seems desirable and inevitable.

the Colony since Its establ
bama in 1895.
In addressing the meeti
explained that the foundati
the single tax was this: T.
equally entitled to the use OF the EARN,
and that single tax was the only prac ical
method of securing that right. He said
that the colony proposes to secure this
right by collecting as taxes>sTom the boil
ders OF land the full annual values OF
their holdings for the common beneht-
such values arising from the demand for
land by those equally entitled to its use.
Mr.. Castor said, in speaking of he ac-
complishmehts OF the Single Tax colony:
This colony was founded by a (, " men
of limited means, set down in a country,
with all Of whose conditions of soil, eli
mate and productions they we're unfa-
miliar. Handicapped by the ignorance anI
suspicion with which their theories were
generally received, Fairhope has yet made
more rapid and substantial growth than
any other settlement in a country under
going a rapid development through North
ern immigration, added to local enter
prise" During the first year wharf ex-
tending SEQ feet into the bay was built,
and also a postoffice whose business has
sufficiently increased to make it a money
order Office within two years. The wharf
is already the second and promises soon
to be the first in amount OF business done
over it of the several wharvcs on the
eastern shore Of Mobile Bay, touched by
the daily steamers plying between the
shore and Mobile.
1T is the chief shipping and trading
point not only for the people of Fairhope,
but also for large scope Of country in
the rear. which Is constantly widening by
the opening of new roads, and viii be
greatly increased by the superior facili
ties afforded b the new steamboats, which
are now being built
Mr.. CASTOR said that owing to the short
space Of time allotted to him he could not
give a detailed description OF the public
as well as private improvements that had
already been secured in so short a time.
In concluding his address he mentioned
the fact that the natural advantages af-
forded by the appliance of the single tax
theory should not be overlooked. Among
these was first and foremost that with
little care a poor man might supply his
table with fruits and vegetables from his

Princes life was uneventful. II
was spent in laying foundation
stones and making speeches as far
as the public part was concerned.
Among other things he opened was
the Forth bridge.
In 1888 he celebrated his silver
wedding, and in the following year
the frst marriage among his child
rem occurred, that of the Princess
Louise to the Duke OF Fife, his old
chum.
The Princes favorite statesman
is Cecil Rhodes. He has always

among his intimate friends.
