WORK OF CONGRESS.

Speech of Mr.. Towne in the Senate,
Washington, Jan %. The Senate
turned from the grind Of appropriation
bills to listen to a speech, which partook
of the character Of an Grafton from Sem
ator Towne of Minnesota. Since he en-
tered the Senate few weeks ago on
appointment of Governor Lind, the
young Minnesotan has had little oppor-
tunity to display his talents.
The floor was crowded with senator's
and members of the House of Represen-
tatives. The galleries, public and pri-
vate, were filled to overlooking. The
senator's on the democratic side gave
Mr.. Towne marked attention. On the
republican side the attention was less
noticeable, although Mr.. Hoar and Mr..
Hale at first followed the speech close
ly.
Mr. Towne's style of delivery was
clear and forcible. Although restricted
by manuscript, he had the subject we'll
in hand and rolled out the fine periods
with a fervor that sent them echoing
through the chamber.
At one point an outbust of applause
from the galleries led to vigorous
warning from the presiding officer
against demonstrations of approval or
disapproval AS the orator closed his
brilliant peroration, there was another
outburst of applause, despite the warn
ings of the chair, and afterwards Mr.
Towne retired.
The rest of the day was devoted to
the Indian appropriation bill the dis
cIlssion turning on irrigation and little
progress being made.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan 2S.-The major nor
tlon of the day in the house was occu-
pied in the transaction of District of
Columbia business. The bill to revise
and codify the postal laws, which has
been under consideration at intervals
for ten days, was finally passed today,
Its friends succeeded in combining the
measure strictly to the purpose for
which it was framed-a codification and
revision of existing laws.
The most interesting feature of the
day was an attempt to secure a vote
upon the Senate bill to appoint COM
mission to consider and adiudicate the
claims of United States citizens against
Spain arising out of the war with Spain
which this government assumed by sec
ton of the treaty of Paris. The house
at the last session recommitted a sim
liar bill with instructions to report
back a bill to confer jurisdiction in
these cases upon the court of claims,
Mr.. Haugen Of the committee on war
claims, secured consideration of sub
stitute for the bill drawn in accordance
with the instruction of the House and
then appealed to the House to vote
down the substitute and pass the Senate
bill.
There was some intimation of sharp
practice over this mode of procedure.
but the matter was settled temporarily
by postponing consideration of the bill
until next Monday.

2 what were the chief characteristics OF
Americans as tenants.
''Their supreme selfiShneSs,' said the
agent. '"They have not a spark of
consideration for a landlord. They
want the earth. They never get
through asking for improvements. They
are not content to get the walls tinted
and the woodwork painted and the
plumbing fixed once or twice a year.
They want new decorations every
month, and all the trimmings must be
first class too. American tenants pay
big prices for their flats, but there isn't
really so much profit in catering to
them as to other nationalities, for the
simple reason that / have to pay out
nearly all my income in trying to keep
up the building in the style they de-
mand. On the other hand, the people
who ask for the least are the Italians
and the French. They take most any
old thing / feel Ike giving them, the
French meekly providing their own
decorations and the Italians going
without.
81 like German tenants pretty well,
too, but they are terribly hard on flats.
/ never could understand how they
manage to infict SO much damage on
walls and floors. Judging by the looks
of an apartment just vacated by a
large German family, one would think
that their star piece of furniture was
a battering ram.
1.-The ears former subjects also have
an abnormally developed bump of de-
structiveness, although they run to
glass instead of plastering. / have one
house down town that is occupied by
ten Russian families, and if they were
not compelled to repair their own DAM
ages it would keep me poor putting in
: new windows and buying new gas
globes.
81 also rent to colored people. have
three houses full of them at present,
and l must say that l have never had
better tenants. But when you come
down to facts, all my tenants are nice

amiss while on the subject Of nation

ties of each" New York Sun.

JEWELLERS IN FLATS.
A NEW YORK REAL ESTATE AGENT ON
THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.

Peculiar Lines Which, According to
His Experience, People of Different
NatiOnalifies Take In Causing
Trouble to the Owners.
The first question put by the renting
agent was. what nationality, please,w
and the woman in the blue hat replied
byasking, ''Why do you want to know"
II meant no Offense," said the agent
II only thought that by finding out
your nationality l could refer you at
once to certain buildings on my list
which would be apt to please you"
The woman in the blue hat had half a
motion to get angry.
II don't see what my nationality has
to do with finding a suitable fiat she
said.
ut has a good deal to do with it,"
said the agent. 'Now, I can see
straight off that you are an American,
born and bred. This is delicate uues-
ton that you have plunged me into,
but since l am in it I mean to founder
around little while longer and tell
you few facts pertaining to the merits
and dement's of different nationalities
considered in the light of f1athouse
tenants.
First Of all, I want to speak from
the standpoint of prompt payment. If
my success in business depended upon
each tenant paying his rent exactly
when it was due, 1 would try to fill all
my houses with Scotchmen Never
have [ lost penny on a Scot, and sell
dom haye'I had to wait.
Il am not making the rash assertion
that it is impossible for Scotchman
to be dishonest while everybody else is
trying his best to cheat me out of my
very eyeteeth. The point 1 wish to
make is that personally [ have never
suffered loss at the hands of a Scot.
But they give trouble in other ways.
They are fearfully Quarrelsome and
raise so many rows with the other ten
ants through the dumb waiter shaft
that it keeps the janitor busy straight
ening out domestic snarls. In all nv
buildings where Scotchmen reside I
select a janitor with view to his even
disposition and diplomatic gifts. 1t
doesn't matter so much about his abil-
ity for scrubbing and keeping the fur
mace going. Unitarian accomplish
ments are a secondary consideration so
long as he is endowed with the blessed
qualities of peacemaker.
''Taken all in all, the most peaceable
people 1 get in my houses hail from
Sweden. You never hear a peep out
of a Swede. He doesn't bother his
neighbors and he doesn't bother me
unless the provocation is extreme. AS
a rule, he is good pay too. The only
fault I have to find with him is his
fondness for moving. A lease is
dead letter in his eye, and he has no
more conjunction about moving with
out days notice than he has about
going to bed when he is sleepy"

CROP RUIN EXAGGERATED
President Cable of the Rock Island Rail-
way Refutes Reports.

New York, Aug. 2.-President r. r.
Gable of the Rock Island railroad,
who is at present in town, says that
from his personal observations and re-
ports from division superintendent
the statements regarding the crop dam
age have been greatly exaggerated.
1.-The corn crop in our territory has I'D
doutedly been damaged, but not to the
extent reported he said 1T will be
found later that estimates of loss were
considerably exaggerated. l cannot
give you any figures, as | have none
prepared, but general conditions do not
seem at all as bad as reported. The
talk of wholesale loss of cattle from
bought has been fanciful"

between Gen. Macarthur and Gen. Otis
headquarters at Manila while Gen. Otis
was In command In the Philippines, which
has just been given TO the public in APP
pendices to Gen. Miles report for 1900,
shows a great lack of harmoney between
Gen. Otis and Gen. Macarthur.
At one instance a suggestion from Mac
Arthur brought a rebuff from Otis. All
through the correspondence relative TO
planning campaigns in northern Luzon II
is shown that Otis gave directions from
Manila with little regard TO suggestions
from Macarthur.
Gen. Macarthur on Nov 80 1899 made
the first suggestion of an offer OF ams
nesty. In message to Gen Schwan
chief OF stan at Manila. under that date
he called attention TO the breaking up
the so-caled Filipino republic, with the
result that further operations by the
natives would simply amount TO guerilla
warfare, and that men who had for
merly led insurgent forces. under the au-
thority of a so-called government then
became but leaders OF banditti.

This suggestion was laid before Gen.
Otis, who In a message sent over the

the suggestion, but said by way OF re-
proof:
