Since the passage of the revenue
bill the House has accomplished no
important legislation. The Senate
has passed the pill providing for a
permanent census bureau and has
fixed upon next Monday for the
final debate and vote on the Philip
pine revenue bill. The Senate
Committee on Agriculture is con-
sidering the oleomargarine bill and
the indications are that ii will pass.
1t is quite probable that the com
mittee will eliminate the clause re-
lating to renovated butter for, as a
Senator from Iowa pointed out yes
terday when asked him of the bills
passing the Senate, Congress has no
authority to legislate in regard to
the manufacture of any food prod
uct unless it is on the ground that
1t is for the purpose of raising reve-
nue. and there is no tax placed on
renovated butter by the present
measure. Moreover thelbill fails to
define renovated butter and it will
be a question as to what is renova-
ted and what is not.

WASHING LETTER,
Gar Reed outdOne by Speaker Hen.
derson Who Rules Supreme,
THE STEEL TRUST MAKING A PROF.
ITOF S14 PER TON.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. az,
Iooa.-That the House of Repre-
sentatives has ceased to be a DELHI
erative body and has degenerated
into a mere machine doing the bid
ding of small number of men, by
courtesy called leaders but actually
dictators, has been appreciated for
a number of years by those in close
touch with its working, but never in
its history have the handed and
tyrannical methods adopted by the
present Speaker and his colleagues
to secure the passage of the war
revenue repeal bill been equaled or
even approached. The proceedings
last Monday were a source of hu-
initiation to every member of the
House possessed of sufficient in
telligence to comprehend their
meaning.

Representative Babcock, of Wis.
consin, assured me yesterday tina,
he had not given up the idea of get.
ting his bill to reduce the tariff on
steel before the House and con
cluded the conversation with these
words; "You mark my words, |
will get that bill before the House
of Representatives before this ses-
sion closes. There are no ifs nor
lands about it will :" Speaking
of the details of the bill Mr.. Bah.
cock said, "The continuance of the
present steel schedule is ubiquitous.
There is absolutely no excuse for it.
They say that i would reduce the
profits of the steel trust at the ex-
pense of the "little fellows" That
is sheer nonsense. Who are the
little fellows Jones & Laughlin
with a capital of $40, 600, 900 and
three mills owned by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The three mills
owned by the Pennsylvania make
o5o, 900 tons of steel a year, more
than the entire output of the
mills of Great Britain. The Jones
x Laughlin Company at a profit of
81 per ton on steel can pay divi-
bends of 5 per cent. The steel
trust, during the first nine months
OF its existence made a profit of
SI4 per ton. If its dividends are
not large enough to suit the stock
holders they should squeeze the
water out of their stock. As a
protection to labor the tariff on
steel amounts to nothing. Practi-
cally the entire manufacture is ac-
compiished by the use of machinery
with the minimum of labor and the
finished by the use of machinery
with the minimum of labor and the
finished product is the raw material
of the manufacturers who do en-
Ploy labor. On the other hand,
everything, from the agricultural
implement used by the farmer to
the piano in my parlor, and the
shoes wear, contains more or less
manufactured steel.

leihgence to comprehend their
meaning.
Approaching that large contin-
gent of their own party, and conse-
quently of the Republican members,
were urgent in their demand for tar
III reform and would seize the on
portunity to amend the measure
framed by the Ways and Means
Committee, approaching their own
ends and protecting the vested in
terests whose money has long per-
petuated Republican rule, the lead
ers anticipated the introduction of
the revenue reduction bill by pro-
posing for adoption a rule which
not only limited the debate on a
measure calculated to reduce the
revenue of the government by SIS,
100000 per annum but positively
prohibited the amending of the
same in any manner. Mr.. Rich
ardson, the Democratic leader. pro-
tested and appealed to the rulings
of Speaker Reed, but to no avail.
Mr.. Henderson repudiated all
known authorities and declared
himself supreme. On an appeal
from the chair the rulings of the
Speaker were sustained by a strict
party vote. Mr.. Richardson, APP
preciating the futility of appeals to
logic and patriotism and realizing
the powerlessness of the minority.
requested an immediate vote and
the measure carried without one
minutes discussion of its provisions,
one moments deliberation, and a
precedent had been established of
the gravest portent to the future of
the nation.

This morning the Presidents de-
cision on Admiral Schley's appeal
was made public. 1t bears every
evidence of having been rendered
in the bureaucratic atmosphere with
which Mr.. Roosevelt has seen fit to
surround himself and the conclu-
sions bear the indellible proof OF
having been induced by the spe-
cious arguments Of such men as
Long, Lemley, Hanna ct alius. Mr..
Roosevelt valiantly shields him
self behind the decision of his
reverend predecessor" and inds
no occasion for reversing Mr.. Nc
Kinley's judgment. He alleges that,
while Sampson was only technically
in command, it was Captains

simultaneously with the above
action of the House, the Senate
was establishing another precedent
which portends no good to this
country. The last named body, on
Monday ratified the treaty by which
the United States purchases the
Danish West Indies and in so do
ing the argument was advanced on
the floor Of the Senate that because
the Moaroe doctrine precludes the
requirement of additional territory
on this hemisphere, and these is
lands were for sale, the United States
must purchase them. Would the
same argument apply to Hayti, for
instance, and to all the possessions

Paris,s New Prodigy

Paris has q new prodigy. Every now
and then some child wonder is launch
ed forth as an incipient genius, but the
latest Of them an seems to be a really
extraordinary child, if we are to be-
lieve reports. She is 10-year-old
playwright, Carmen d'AssilYa. She
has written ten plays and a number Of
monolOgues in prose and verse, and
their literary value has earned her ad-
mittance with full members rights
into the Society of French Dramatic
Authors of which M. Nictorien Sardou
is president Until her admission
Edmond Rostand was the youngest
member but he is 35-quite a veteran
beside the 1O-year-old playwright.
In an interview. the youthful au-
thoress SAYS her favorite game is hide
and-seek. She does not care much for
dolls, although she owns one. She
thinks out the plot of her plays lying
on a sofa and gazing at the ceiling.
She is now writing a fOur-act play
which she aspires TO have produced at
the Coincide Franchise.
The following is a translation of
representative poem by Mile. Carmen
d'Assilva:
THE WHITE BUTTERFLY.
1t was a snow-white butterfly
Who DER the petals fresh and sweet
OF half-blown roses, meath a sky
For ever changing, winged his fleet
And wayward flight. AS fancy bid,
And dreams suggested, so he did
1t happened on a morn in May,
Lured by a perfumed beam Of light,
He met upon his flOwery way
A wasp in golden armor digit.
He followed confident and bold,
The slender-waisted wasp of gold.
Alas the mournfulness of thingsl
They found the hapless butterfly
With riven side and broken wings.
And now the saddened roses sigh
And weep his fate, when daylight
through
The clouds appear, in tears of dew

French and American Women

1t is Acknowledged by those in au-
thority THAT the best dressed women Of
the day are the Parisians whom one
meets on the boulevard and the pretty
American who PAGES to and fro on
Filth avenue between the hours of noon
and three.
For some reason they rival each
other in much of theE fashionable at
tire. Not that the French woman is
Drettier than her sister over the water,
or more stylish in garb, but Is tortu-
nate in having the styles in advance
and. therefore trifle more up-to-date
in every detail of her costume, which
is the first essential in giving a "chic
appearance. says the Pittsburg Press.
A man visiting New York, after
making a tour of the world, declared
one could see in a morning on Fifth
avenue more correctly dressed and
better groomed women than in any
other city in the world, including not
only Paris and London, but Berlin, the
seat of all fashions.
As the season approaches and mid
winter gayeties are at their height the
modistes vie with each other in the
making of holiday gowns OF charming
and well known colors. Even dress
makers who have not the patronage
of the ultra-fashionable set are as busy
as bees preparing their lovely crea-
tions which will grace the public and
private ball. the small dinner dance,
dinner functions. receptions, and even
informal gatherings which The cold
weather brings.
