Senate.

Washington, May 15.-At the con-
clusion of routine business the bill
providing for a union railroad station
in Washington was laid before the
senate. AS no debate was in order
the pending question was the motion
of Mr.. Clark of Montana to recommit
the bill to the committee for further
consideration. The motion was re
jected-23 to 43.
The senate passed the bill for a
union railway station in Washington
As to %.
Several propositions to amend the
bill were defeated. Mr.. Hansbrough's
proposition for the government to
build the station received only four
votes. The bill was then passed-45
to %. On motion of Mr.. Proctor, the
senate agreed to a conference on the
agricultural appropriation bill. The
conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was presented by Mr..
Warren, the %conferees being unable
to agree on the Selfridge board claims.
Mr.. Warren replied to some re-
marks made by Mr.. Proctor yesterday,
concerning the Bufington-Crozier
gun carriages. He said there had
been an intimation that the fact that
this !. carriage had been patented
abroad would have an influence upon
the department because General Croz-
Ter, the present head of the ordnance
department, is the patentee, and thus
causes the acceptance of an inferior
carriage.
Mr.. Warren did not, however. be-
lieve that this could be the case, in
view of the fact that the United
States government holds all the pat
ents on that carriage in this country.
Mr.. Warren pointed out that the
first four reports of the board which
investigated the Crozier disappearing
carriage were unanimously in favor of
the carriage. He urged that the
weight Of evidence ought to be &C
cepted in the discussion of this ques-
ton. The majority undoubtedly was
in favor of the use of the carriage,
particularly in medium and low sights.
He admitted that the weight of evil
aence wa sagainst the use of the car.
riages on high points.
The reDort was agreed to
The fortification appropriation bill
then was laid before the senate, the
pending question being the amend
ment offered yesterday by MI. Proc
tor, providing that no money shall be
expended for disappearing gun car
riages until complete tests shall have
been made.

Waiting for Supreme Court.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 16.-The cases
against the packing houses charged
with using borax in meats was called
in the police court, and the majority
of the cases continued. There is a
case before the supreme court in
which this question is involved, and
it was the desire of both sides to
await it's decision before the present
cases are tried.

Sufficient Cause for Divorce.

In the divorce case of Adam w.
Cramer against Elizabeth T.. Cramer,
Judge Edwards handed down an opin-
ion yesterday refusing to vacate the
decrca for divorce granted sometime
ago. Mrs. Cramer asked that the de-
cree be vacated for the reason that
sufficient cause for divorce had not
been shown. In his opinion Judge Ed
wards said:
As to the merits of the case the re-
sp0udent swculS to cruel treatment on
the part OF her husband so that she was
compelled To leave his home. She does
not deny ol explain the damaging testi-
moIty as to her relations with the col
.,lEl man Sampson. This might have
cusily occurred for the reason that there
was no mt.rrogntory directed TO that
point. BE this as it may, we are salts
lied that the divorce was not allowed on
insufficient grounds This being the case,
was there any irregularity in the pro-
ccpdings themselves? The requirement
uf the act of assembly have been strictly
complied with and we hold that there has
hcen a substantial compliance with the
rules of court.
We therefore, see no sufficient reason
for. disturbing the decree heretofore
raade, and the rule TO Vacate the decree
is now DISCHARGED.

The Independents and the Cambrians
We're scheduled to roll on the Elk alleys
last night but the North Enders failed
to put in an appearance. Inquiry by
telephone provoked the response that
two of their players We're not able to
play. They agreed to put ON two sub
stitutes if the Independents would go
to North Scranton to play but Captain
Waldner refused to accept this offer
and gave the Cambrians until . o'clock
to put in an appearance.
They did not show up at that time
and the Independent team accordingly
bowled out three games. They will
make demand that these scores count
