northwest upsetting the Icarts oil
Italians, breaking into saloons, closing
the fruit venders' stands, and catching
all the colorsd people they could, Of
both sexes, and giving them a toss 10
their blankets. The police we're p &C.
ticslly powerless, owing to the limited
number of men on duty.
One Of the boldest hold-ups which
has been heard Of in Washington took
place in the saloon of John E. Whalen,
1918 Seventh street northwest, yester-
day. Fifty or more OF the Pennsylvania
guardsmen went into the place 10 broad
daylight, secured all the whisky, beer
and cigars they wanted, and marched
of while the proprietor Of the place
and his assistant remained fesr-stricken
behind the bar. One OF the fellows
jumped upon the counter and called
the assemblage to order. He said that
on the previous day Two OF the boys
from Pennsylvania had been grossly
iusulted In 1.-THE saloon. The act, he
said, had been perperrsted by negroes,
aud he appealed 10 his comrades 10
stand by him. The crowd rushed be-
hind the bar, and the looting and
smashing began.

THE Chinese government, that 10 the
government recognized by the people
of China, has requested the foreigners
who have seized, burned, and looted
their capital city, and outraged lite
women and murdered it's men, to make
no more raids upon its peaceful citizens
TO let the Chinese troops punish the
Boxers, and to prevent native Christians
from making exorbitsnt claims for
damages. But moderate as this request
may be, it has been refused by the allied
nrmy. Poor old China! 1t is feared
that the end of her gree tness is In sight,
aud that the general degeneracy of the
world has even pervaded her walled in

Chaplain's prayer was devoted to call

family Of the junior Senator from Ala

oldest SOD. The new President OF the
Senate was the exposure OF hundreds
of eyes. The galleries were taxed to
their utmost capacity, and II the new
presiding officer noticed the scores OF
opera glasses pointed at him he gave 20
outward exhibition OF it. Glad Ia black,
with the only color coming from the
bright red stripe in his teck-tie, Mr..
Roosevelt stood stern and silent during
the discussion as to the rights of this
extraordinary session to consider other
than executive business. His rulings
were delivered 10 firm but not loud
tone, as il delivered by one who recog-
nized the fact that there were limiia
| tiyns to his knowledge of parliamentary
law as operated in the United States
| Senate. The hum from many voices
that came from floor aud galleries
caused annoyance, as his face gave evil
denoe, but the only indication given
was repeated rsppings on the table with
the small ivory gsvel, which he handled
| faralliarly.
The galleries presented scene OF
unusual splendor.
Previous to the opening prayer Gov
ernor Yates, OF Illinois, and his staff
took seats in the members gallery.
Mr.. Plat introduced bis proposed
amendment to the rules. and asked that
| it be referred to the committee on
rules. This precipitated quite dis
cussion in which the rights of the extra
ordinary session OF the Senate to traus-
act business other than executive we're
presented by Mr.. Teller and Mr..
Morgan. There was no objection to
the contention and the regular order OF
business was called.
The debate was prolonged and sev-
eral matters OF minor Importance were
given consideration before action was
taken upon the proposed amendment.
"If there is no objection the amend
ment will be reported to the committee
on rules" the chair announced, ADD
only those who were watching the
rulings closely detected the slip Of say
ing reported" instead of referred" to
the committee.
The chair laid before the Senate the
resolution of Mr.. Morgan, introduced
at yesterdays session. 1t provided for
the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty.
Mr.. Morgan, In his remarks entered
into an exhaustive presentation It inter-
oceanic canal legislation, and official
acts pertaining thereto.
In reference to the refusal OF the
Senate to take up the Hepburn canal
bill, at the last session, he elected a
smile from Mr.. Aldrich. 81 see the

Senator from Rhode Island would smile
at the wreck of bis country for the
money that could be made out of it."
Without having concluded his re.
marks, Mr.. Morgan, at 2:45 o'clock,
yielded the floor aud the Senate went
into the executive session on motion Of
Mr.. Warren.
At 2:58 the Senate adjourned until

the applause which greeted the several

year for five years to maintain the
Carnegie Free Public Library, for which
Andrew Carnegie agrees to donate
800, 900, provided the city OF Richmond
furnishes q site and appropriates $40, 900
a year for lis maintenance. The offer
came at a time when the revenues Of
the city had been already apportioned,
and the offer of Mr.. Carnegie could not
be accepted without careful considera.
ton of ways and means, but this dona-
ton easily removes ali obstacles. The
company guarantee S. 900 year to be
paid az a donation, and Ia the event
that the citizens Of Richmond did not
give the other S., 900 the Passenger and
Power Company will also pay that
amount. The offer is made with the
supposition that II Richmond's finances
do not at present justify the appropria-
ton annually OF $40, 900 to keep up the
library, by reason Of the constant
growth and Improvement OF general
business and municipal revenues in
Richmond, that city will be able to
make the appropriation five years
hence.
