e"~ hOOA VI bh( oCndhC luC Same dC-
cusations are likely to be implied
but in a more yelled form and it is
hardly'likely that the dignifed Sem
ate will be treated to the dramatic
scene which occurred in Senator
Morgan's committee room.
TIT
Representative Sibley Of Pennsyl-
vania, told me yesterday that he
was unchanged in his opposition to
the Hansborough- Newlands irriga-
ton bill and that he felt it TO be his
duty to work and speak against it.
He said 81 am farmer myself
and / know the difficulties with
which the farmers have to contend,
the long hours they have to work
and the depreciation of the value of
their lands, at least in the Eastern
States, which has confronted them.
OF course | realize that the time
will come when it will be proper
and expedient for the federal gov
eminent to lend hand towards the
irrigation of the arid lands of the
west if it can be done without its
operating to the advantage of a +. I.
large land owners rather than to the
advantage of small farmers and
would be settlers, but the time is
not yet ripe. The farmers of the
East have seen hard times and have
battled fearful odds and now that
they begin to see daylight, there
come to Congress men who would
add vast acres to the present area of
tillable land and increase the COM
petition which in the past has been
so keen as to make farming the most
laborious and least profitable of the
professions. These gentlemen from
the West are on the right track but
they are away ahead of time. The
time will come when the manufac-
turing interests of this country
will have vastly increased, the home
market will have increased proper
tionately and there will be ample
demand to consume at good prices
all of the farmers products. Then
will be glad to see, what / knew
as a boy, as the Great American des-
ert, made one great flourishing,
field.

night of this week. The Coal Cen

and have announced their intention
of moving the Big Council Chamber

10 these many suns and moons, and
locate it where the constant rumble
of the Iron Horse will penetrate the
inner circles of all the pow vows
that are held. Here is copy of

Hardly had the Chairman recov-
cred from his surprise at the close
ness of the vote when Representa-
tive Steele of Indiana moved to
amend the bill by the addition of a
clause granting rs per cent recipro
cal reduction on Cuban sugar.
With tears in his eyes and voice,
Mr.. Payne begged him to withdraw
his motion, which Mr.. Steele finally
consented to do. The Chairman
then delivered a homily to Mr..
Babcock on the subject of protec-
ton concluding with threat to re-
move the tariff on lumber, il being
supposed that Mr.. Babcock had
large lumber interests in Wisconsin.
The threat did not seem to produce
much effect on the member from
Wisconsin and he declares that he
will present his amendment again on
the floor of the House. There is
every prospect of very interesting
session when the report of the
committee is called up in the House
as Mr.. Newlands of Nevada will
also offer his amendment imposing
a tax of one.tenth of one per cent
on the gross receipts of the INDUS
trial corporations in excess of 81, >
900, 900 per annum with clause
appended requiring the publicity of
the figures of such corporations !;
provided the committee does not
shut out all amendments, as is now
threatened.

President Roosevelt is about to
indulge his propensity for admins
tering reprimands once more. This
time the victim will be his former
Colonel, General Leonard Wood.
General Wood has addressed to the
Senators a circular letter represent
ing the sore need Of Cuba of liberal
treatment by Congress and the Pres
ident considers that his appeal
should have been sent through the
War Department and that his hav-
ing addressed the Senator's and omit
ted to address the members Of the
House was a serious error from the
standpoint Of tact and diplomacy
Accordingly, the General is to be
treated to an expression Of execu.
tive wrath similar to thar admins
tered to General Miles.

Another interesting feature of the
week has been the quiet, but none
the less intense, contest which is
going on between the President and
the extreme protectionists in regard
to reciprocal relations with Cuba.
Mr.. Roosevelt maintains that UNI
ted States is in honor bound to grant
the concessions because of the rep
resentatives of President Mckinley
and Secretary Root, and that he is
personally bound, by his promise to
the people to carry into effect the
policy of the late President, to do
all in his power to secure the reci-
procity he is advocating. Speaker
Henderson, General Grosvenor and
other Republican leaders are unal-
terably opposed to any deviation
from the highest protection and
serious break between the Capitol
and the White House is imminent
at any moment.

young sons of George Trobough, a
prominent farmer living six miles

crevasse in large straw stack
Wednesday afternoon, and while there
the straw took fire. Their escape was
cut off and the two boys were Gre
mated The father of the boys saw
them enter the stack and when at
tracted by their cries for assistance
ran to their rescue, but too late. It is
supposed the fire originated through
careless handling of matches by the

schley Thoughtful of Clark.

A considerable quantity of Spanish coin was found on this ship, and certain friends of Schley purchased it from the Government for the purpose of having it melted and made into a silver service for presentation to that office. When he was informed of the arrangement, he express ed his gratitude for the favor that it was intended to show him, but he insisted that if he were to receive such a gift similar one must be presented to Clark also, without whose assistance he de- clared. 1t would have been impossible for the Brooklyn to capture the Colon.
 As there was enough coin to make two handsome services, Captain Clark was informed of the committees intention and of Schley's recommendation The for mer's response to the generous sugges- ton of his one-time commander was con tained in the following letter which he wrote to Admiral Schley on November 13, 1899:
 My Dear Admiral--Last night I was shown an article in The Philadelphia Times, in which it is stated that you sug- gested that I should be honored in the same yau that you will be by the con tributors who wish to present you with set of silver made from the Spanish coins found on board the Cristobal Colon.
 l am not surprised that the first thought of the man who said There Is glory enough for all should have been There is enough for two especially as you know that the glorious four hours of July 3 were only the nearest and best of those that make mp the many years of our friendship. But as the contribution was made solely for you. and as no thought of me entered into the minds of any of the contributors. I cannot permit your suggestion to be carried out. although understand it was unanimously accepted and heartily applauded by those who | heard it. Please express to them the gratitude l feel, for I am truely appre- cative of the honor they would confer; indeed. they have greatly honored me all | ready, and I could not accept anything more. I know am imposing hard duty upon you. but the contributors should, of | course, be informed as soon as possible
 and I have to depend upon you to reach | them and to explain to them why couI1 not avail myself of their generous inten- 1 ton and desire.

HE IS POPULAR
CAPT. CLARK IS REAR ADMIRAL H SCHLEY'S FRIEND.
Gives Him Credit of VictoryA-Letter Concerning Making of Two Sil- f yer Services-Recalls a
 Former Triumph.

Chicago Chronicle.
 The selection of Captain Clark. former ly of the Oregon, to represent the United States navy at the coronation Of King Edward has called forth enthusiastic ex- pressions of satisfaction from the press and people in all parts of the country. It Is in every respect the most popular act of the present administration.
 Swhen all the facts are taken into con sideration it is surprising that the Presi- dent could have persuaded himself or been persuaded hY others, to make such an appointment If he Is not ignorant Of the circumstances. and that is hardly to be supposed it must he that he has come to a proper appreciation of some of the errors that he has committed of late and is disposed to do what he can to rectify them.
 sIn the first place, Captain Clark prob ably is the best friend of Admiral Schley fn the naval service and he is the man whom that officer himself would have selected for the honor. In the second place. Captain Clark is on record in a let ter which has been made public in a lim- lied way as sustaining the contention that Schley was in command at Santiago and as testifying to his personal bravery.
 Whether the conclusion is pointedly drawn in all cases or not, the facts as set forth in every detailed account of the destruction of Ccrvera's fleet show that the brunt of that fight on the American side was borne by tn, Brooklyn and the Oregon. the one Schlcv's flagship and the other commanded hy Clark Both were engaged eycrt minute of the four hours that he battle lasted Both were in at the death. and if it had not been for them one of the Spanish ships would have escaped.
