The walters in the Senate restaurant
have the habit Of calling out the name
OF the Senator whom they are serving
when they give their orders at the coun-
ter.
"A piece Of roast beef for Senator Ma
SON." or, "One order Of cold sliced tongue
for Senator Warren" or. "One lobster
salad for Senator Kean, is the way the
orders are cried out. When the Seua-
tors have company at luncheon in the
restaurant the order is given in the same
way- Yesterday waiter came into the
restaurant and sang out:
lone piece Of apple. one piece OF hot
mince. one piece OF cOcoanut pie, AID one
Charlotte russo for Senator Mcmillan"
Yes. and one full-groWn doctor for

Borchgrevink, the explorer, one of three
scientists to visit st. Pierre, who sailed for
Martinique on the Dixie when she took a

formation on the subject of the volcanic
eruptions and that he would go at once TO
Washington, where he would present his
report TO the National Geographical So
ciety, which he represents.
'Of course, my going in an official capac

after / have made my report at Washing

you that L have secured valuable data

future to foretell when an eruption will

Every one seems to shun il. All vegetation
has been destroyed, leaving that end of the

Speaking of the visit to Mont Pelee the
explorer said: 'We have had some very
narrow escapes from death. One day,
while walking around at the foot of the
mountain, a jet Of steam came out of

passed. II il had struck any of us we
would have been scalded to death. AS il
was, the vapor blew all around us so that
we could not see where we were going"

President Loubet presided, the premier, II.
Waldeck- Rousseau, formally presented the
resignation Of the Cabinet. and in so doing
expressed the sentiments of gratitude
which his colleagues and himself retained

ton NJ Waldeck-Rousseau said the state
of his health compelled him 10 take a rest.

of republican institutions.
NJ. Loubet, in reply TO NJ. Waldeck-Rous-
seau's communication, announced that the
President accepted the resignation and
charged the Ministry TO carry on affairs

may undertake the task with considerable
chances of success.

IRONIES OF KANSAS.
Rivers Flow on Top of the Ground
People Drown i'm "A Drought.

Kansas City Star.
For examples OF the irony OF fate go to
Kansas-always. 1t is there that contracic-
tons and anomalies disport themselves in
a way TO excite the continued surprise and
amusement OF the world. Kansas Is in
fact one grand paradox, IL Is rendered
fascinating by its eccenuicifies and by its
radical extremes. IL illustrates no less the
favoritism OF Nature than its untiring
caprices
1t was in Kansas that a family feeling
from the blight OF drought was overtaken
by floods and drowned. IL was IN Kansas
that a meeting. called only few days ago
10 offer prayers for rain. had 10 be aban-
doned on account OF freshets. II was Ia

thousands OF dollars We're expended for
waterwOrks n towns that afterWard went
dry. Ii is in Kansas that prohibition gives
a delectable quality and value TO beer and
whisky which is known I'm no other State
where the saloons are wide open.
But all OF these minor comedies have
been quite ecliDsed by the Arkansas river.
which lies on top OF the ground In south
west Kansas and which can be seen on
the upland from the lowest points In any
part of the territory which &c trayerses-
For years this curious stream has been

the States OF Colorado and Kansas. II has
been the complaint OF the latter that the
stream has been so depleted by irrigators
in the frst-named State as 20 be nothing
but n rivulet when IL reaches Kansas, TO
the harm and prejudice Of the country
which depends upon the Nile of America"
for moisture.
The battle has waged with impetuous and
stubborn ferocity without surcease until
within the last few days. when the alarm
was raised that Colorado was sending two
floods, aggregating fifteen feet OF water,
down the Arkansas river TO deluge south
western Kansas. IL Is already manifest
that the river will not be able 10 carry the
water and there are fears that Garden City.
Wichita and other Kansas towns may be
inundated.
Nothing can be done probably at this
time TO avert the impending danger. but
as a matter Of future guidance IL Is quite
apparent that Colorado should be inhibited
from using Arkansas river water In seasons
of scarcity or be compelled 10 take care OF
the surplus when foods set in. This looks
so just and logical as TO admit seemingly
of no argument, and IL is barely possible
that the present emergency may. In the
hands OF an all-wise Providence. indicate
