DANISH TREATY COMES FIRST
Will Occupy the Greater Part of
the Day in the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The greater
part Of Monday will be devoted by the
senate to an effort to ratify the treaty with
Denmark for the cession o; the Danish
West Indies. This proceeding will be In
executive session and there is no certainty
rs to whether the day will be sufficient
for the purpose or not. Thus far there
has been no marked evidence of opposition
TO the treaty, but Senator Bacon has in
dicated a purpose Of offering an amend
ment to the agreement and Of discussing
It to some extent. What further discussion
may develop remains to be seen.
II the consideration of the treaty Is not
concluded on Monday It's final disposition
probably will be postponed for several
days, as Senator Lodge has agreed to side
track the Philippine bill only for the one
day. With reference to the Philippine
bill 1t is altogether probable that a vote
will be reached during the latter part OF
the week. The democrats have been In
conference on the subject and have reached
the conclusion that they will be able ia
conclude the presentation OF their oppo-
sition to the bill in a few more speeches,
An agreement fixing a time to vote Is likely
to be reached on Tuesday and the indica-
lions are that next Friday or Saturday
will be named as the day for deciding the
fate Of the bill. There are a few sci
speeches yet to be- delivered on the bill
but most OF them will be brief.
BY unanimous consent the census bill
will be disposed Of after the Danish treaty
and before the debate on the Philippine
bill Is taken. 1t is expected a vote will
be reached on the census bill after a little
more debate.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Rsnds were still the
center of interest as well as the center Of
anxiety during the last week for those
who were inclined to take a pessimtstic
view of the outlook on the Stock exchange.
The settlement was an arduous task es-
pecially In the mining section where the
accounts OF several over-rash SPECTATORS
were suspended.
This checked, although 1t did not stop,
the phenomenal gamble now going on
in South Africans. The magnitude OF recent
dealings is indicated by the fact that OF
eight leading mining stocks alone SS,O0,oO
shares passed through the clearing house.
One effect of the dif1cult settlement was
to prevent the development of much new
business. still the general tone was sood
and the outlook was cheerful, at least Tor
the professionals. The rates of discount
have been steady and the. accumulation OF
big balances scarce on the open msrk SHn

Captain Toole and the crew. eighteen In

the hope Of sighting some passing vessels.
December Is, Captain Toole and two OF the

Toole determined to start for Papeete. 1900
miles away, but the French commandant
refused to let him go to sea in the small
boat.
On January 10 a trading schooner put In
at Manga Reva and offered to take the
crew OF the savernoke to Papeete for 1900
French dollars. While they were negotiat-

In the harbor with the crew OF the Saver

It appears that the crew waited for his re-
turn until January 2, on which date the

schooner Maurice 200 miles from Papeete

A TOAST TO THE SINISTER.
Tribute TO the Elderly Unmarried
woman.

"a toast is offered to the spinsterl" ex-
claims Harper's Weekly. I'VE meet a great
many pleasant people in this world. but
nowhere do we find a more satisfactory
person than that elderly unmarried woman
generally and somewhat disrespectfully
known as the old maid and supposed TO be
afflicted with nerves and a cantankerous
disposition. AS a matter OF fact. she is
frequently the sweetest, most self-forgetful
of her sex. She usually walks, with tact
and loving heart, in, other women's paths,
lives In other women's homes, and rejoices
in other womcn's Joys. making them her
own. The children adore her. for she
becomes to them a sort Of fairy godmother,
one who possesses all the tenderness of a
mother without the extremes OF maternal
discipline. She loves to give children a
good time and does 1t with extraordinary
success. In household details, what u
treasured! How many dinners owe their
success to her, who reaps no glory except
the glory of doing! And in the ultimate
trials of life, what a prop and solace she
becomes! But 1t is to the young boy-lovers
Of the family that she exhibits the finest
flower of her capacity for friendship. What
a gift of understanding she seems TO have!
There is no difficulty she cannot dissipate.
no fear she cannot lessen, no tender little
half-scared hope hat she does not en-
| courage to bloom for the other woman.
1t is always for somebody else that she
is working, and perhaps 1t is this which
gives to her eyes the look that even tho
worst among us unconsciously associates
with all that is best and fairest in life.
Let them make fun Of her II they will, but
could we do without her?'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The coming

for debate and a stringent special rule
bringing the bill to a vote at 3 p. m. on
Tuesday, without intervening motion to re-
commit amendments other than those of a
verbal character, is proposed by the com
mittee.
At the outset there promises to be a
spirited contest on the adoption Of the spe-
cisl rule. as the minority will protest
against the cutting of OF amendments and
the motion to recommit. There ia little
doubt, however, that the rule viii be
adopted. When the debate proper begins

There are several important measures
Of general legislation now ready for con-
