To the senate and house of represen-
tatives: One of the greatest calamities
in history has fallen upon our neigh
boring island, Martinique The consul
Of the United States at Guadeloupe tel
egraphed from Fort de France, under
date Of yesterday, that the disaster is
complete; that the city of st. Pierre
has ceased to exist: and that the Am
erican consul and family have perish
ed. He is informed that 10000 people
have lost their lives, and that $4,000 are
homeless and hungry; that there is an
urgent need for all kinds of provisions
and that visit of vessels for the work
of supply and rescue is imperatively
required. The government of France,
while expressing its thanks for the
marks Of sympathy which reached it
from America, informs that Fort de
France and the entire island of Martin
ique are still threatened. They, there
fore, request that, for the purpose of
rescuing the people who are In such
deadly peril and threatened with STAR
States may send as soon as possible
means for transporting them from the
stricken island. The island of St. Vim
cent, and perhaps others in that region
are also seriously menaced by the cal
amity which has taken SO appalling a
form at Martinique. have directed
the departments of the treasury, war
and navy to take such measures for
the relief of these stricken people as
lies within executive discretion, and I
ampled disaster to the generous con-
Of congress. For this pur-
pose. I recommend that an appropria-
ton of $500,O0O be made to be imme-
liately available.

IN THE SENATE
The Three Delegates Propose to Make an
Energetic Fight for Its
Passage.
FINAL ACTION Is BELIEVED TO
HINGE ON ELECTIONS THIS FALL

Washington May 12.-Delegates Ro-
dey, Flynn and Smith announce thai
they propose making an energetic fight
to secure consideration in the senate
before 'le close of the session for the
ormnib,. -sstatehood bill which passed
the house yesterday, admitting Arizona,
New Mexico and Oklahoma into the
union as states. Delegates Rodey and
Flynn had conference today with
Senator Reveridge, chairman of the
senate committee on territories, which
will have consideration of the state
hood bill, and requested that immediate
hearings on the bill be given.
Senator Beveridge suggested that the
time was too short to give the consid-
GRAFTON the bill merits, but promised
If the advocates of the bill desired it,
to give the hearings requested.
1t is generally believed that even
though the hearings be granted. the
committee will not report the bill to
the senate al this session of congress.
Final action upon the measure is be-
lieved to hinge to certain extent upon
the result of the elections the coming
fall in these territories

SENATE.
Washington, May 12-At the con-
clusion of routine business in the SEN
ate today, the resolution, offered by Mr..
Bailey on Saturday to relieve the spec
ial embassies to the coronation, was
called up, but after some discussion
went over.
Cullom presented to the senate, and
had read, a cablegram received by the
state department from Consul Ayme at
Fort de France. Consideration of the
Philippine government bill was then
begun, Foraker, Ohio, addressing the
senate in support of the measure.
Foraker read editorials from the
Democratic papers supporting the pol
icy of President Mckinley in 1s9S99.
and declaring that VIXEN ifle war with
the Filipinos began, it was necessary
to suppress the insurrection. Referring
to editorials in the Denver News, of
which Senator Patterson is the proprie-
tor, Foraker said, with keen sarcasm:
'"These editorials do not read exactly
as the senator's speeches do now; but
time will come when the senator will
take greater pride and pleasure in read
ing these editorials than in reading his
speeches. Gaughter) Foraker said he
was reading at great length from the
Denver News editorials because they
were the ablest he found either In Re-
publican or Democratic papers,
(laughter), and he desired to embalm
them all for all time in the Congress
sional Record. Renewed laughter.)

Ewes Daughter.

Little Agnes had been a regular
attendant at the Sunday school last
winter. The school opened again
after vacation, and the teacher de.
cided to have general review Of all
the ground covered by the primary
department. She started very prop
erly, at the beginning.
Children" said she, latter Adam
was created, how was Eve brought
into the world?"
A half dozen hands went into the
air.
Willie Smith may answer, said
the teacher.
"Made-outen-a-boue. from-Adsm."
Now, children. that is correct.
And from what bone was woman crs-

There was an awful silence in the
classroom. Finally little Agne, hand
went up like shot.
You may answer, Agnes.
Her decision came quickly.

An Adventure at Midnight.

"Ill do it if you within not
scared"
T'll go you"
The two boys stood on the shore
and bright moonlight shone overhead
in a great star-dotted field Of uncloud-
ed blue. Before them was rare and
marvellous sight, one which they had
never seen before, but which their
fathers and mothers had described to
them as coming very seldom in gener-
ations. 1t had been a very severe
winter and the Great South Bay was
frozen over-frozen so hard and so
thick that men had crossed that day
with wagons. The scene was very
grand and solemn. Absolute silence
ruled the waters which in the spring
and autumn winds were so often bois-
trous and noisy. No waves splashed
on the beach; no breeze rutfied the
surface. The bay was dead. For
full four miles across to the other
shore the ice enshrouded it, sprinkled
with the daintiest lacing Of snow,
which glittered i'll the moonbeams.
"Ill go youI" said Joel Harris,
sturdily.
Then" said Frye Gates, "lets hur-
ry up for our skates"
They hurried back from the lonely
beach where they stood to Joels
house-a little cottage where dwelt
the boys father and mother, and
where Frye, from New York, was
stopping for holiday. The young
sters approached the house with the
caution of trespassers and rule-break-
ers, for they knew very well that if
their purpose were discovered their
skates would not be required, although
the skate straps might be unpleasant
ly employed. Frye Gates, being a
comparative stranger, hid in the gloom
of the laurel bushes while Joel played
trick familiar to him. He mounted
the water butt, climbed the spout to
the top of the kitchen, crept along
that roof and was speedily at bis own
bedroom window. In trice he was
out with two pair of skates, and, dis
daining the pipe, dropped gently to
the ground, But the clang Of the
steels as he jumped made loud noise
and the kitchen window opened. Joel
hid in the shadow of the wall, breath
less and still

out.

THE CALF PATH.

One day through the primeval wood.
A calf walked home as good calves should ;
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as calves do
Since then two hundred years had fed.
And infer. the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail.
And thereby hangs a moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY q lone dog that passed that way.
And then a wise bell-weather sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bell-weatheIs always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was made
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath.
Because twas such a crooked path
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migration of that calf.
And through this winding woodway stalked
Because he wabbIed when he walked.
This forest path became lane.
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many poor horse with his load,
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus century and a-half
They trod the footsteps of that calf
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became village street.
And this. before men were aware,
a city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and a-half
Trod in the footsteps Of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic Of a continent
\ hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead,
They followed still his crooked way.
And lost one hundred years day
For this such reverence is lent
To well establish precedent
4 moral lesson this must teach
We're ordained and called to preach.
For men are prone TO so it blind
Along the cali-paths OF the mind
And work away from sun to sun
And do what other men have done.
They followed in the beaten track.
And out and in. and forth and back,
And still this devious course pursue.
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods laugh,
Who saw the first primeval calf
And many things this tale might teach
But am not ordained TO teach.
