SURPRISED THE DEMOCRATS.
Senate Adjourns After Fffteen-Min-
ute Session.

ute Session.
washington, Feb. 26.-Quite unex-
pectedly the senate adjourned within
Is minutes after it convened.
An hour before the body convened
the galleries began to fill with spec
tators, all expecting a sequel to the
great demand of the previous day on
the rights of the senators from South
Carolina to cast their votes while un-
der the ban of contempt by the senate.
Several Democratic senators had
books upon their desks and it looked
as though they were preparing to con-
tinue the contest. This was made the
more evident Immediately after the
senate convened. When the clerk be-
gan the reading of the journal the
usual request that the reading be sus-
pended was made by Mr.. Stewart
(Rep., New.
81 object" interjected Mr., Turner
(Dem., Wash.) and Mr.. Dubois Dem,
Ida.) in unison and the reading was
continued. At its conclusion the
journal was approved without COM
ment.
Instantly Mr.. Mcmillan (Rep..
Mich.), a member of the Republican
steering committee, was on his feet.
He called up the message of the house
of representatives announcing to the
senate the death last fall of Repre-
sentative Rosseau Crump of Michigan.
He presented resolutions expressive
of the sorrow of the senate at the an
nouncement. These were adopted and
then the senate, as an additional
mark of respect, at 1915 adjourned.
The Democratic senators were evil

DEFEATED THE TAX BILL.
Minnesota House Kills the Proposed
New Code.

st. Paul, Feb. 26.-The new tax code
has been defeated in the house, 60 to
81. Four members were absent, but
had they all been present and had they
voted for the bill, they could not have
saved it. Sixty votes would be requir-
ed to pass it.
Representative Jacobson and Sena-
tor Young had hurried consultation
after the defeat OF the bill and de-
clared that they would not only have
the vote reconsidered, but that they
would have the bill passed.
Mr.. Sageng, Otter Tail, who voted
against the bill, he said, because Of
the Wallace amendments, will make
the needed motion to reconsider. Then
the Wallace amendments can be re-
considered and perhaps eliminated.
The fate Of the measure will again be
doubtful.

1 The long story in the, March ST.
Nicholas is by Willis B. Hawkins, a
writer whose work is we'll known in the
newspaper world. The idea upon
which the story is based is this: A
veteran soldier puts the little boys OF
a village under a military ragime, and
thus thus they learn something of
honor, courage and discipline. The
old mans teaching is SO quaint and SO
amusing that the boys make them their
advisor and confdant. Those who
lave found entertainment in reading
about "Eben Holden" and David
Harum" will find "Uncle Andy" wor-
thy to make homespun triumvirate.

100000 TaeIs Agreed on-other Sig
natory Powers May Submit to a Pro
Rata Reduction Of the Original
Amounts Allowed Them.

washington, Feb. 26.-The United
States government has proposed to
the powers concerned in the Chinese
treaty that they consent to a pro rata
reduction of claims so as to maintain
the total within the sum of 100000, 900
taels, which the powers agreed to &C
cept from China as full indemnity for
the Boxer outrages. -
Germany has discovered she placed
her claim too low and has demanded
an increased allowance of 100000
taels, and if this is to be met the other
signatory powers must agree to sub
NIT to the pro rata reduction OF that
sum from their own original allot-
ments. The United States is firmly
opposed to any attempt to extort from
China any more than 450, 100000 taels
and it will attempt to avoid the ere
alton of precedent to be followed by
the other powers in the allowance Of
this German claim.
