BIRTH HISTORY.
A male child born this month, June
of women and children. He will read
much. be a great observer and look well
into the deeds of men. He will be i'm
petuous, will marry early and be frivol-
GUS. In dimensions and in shape of ma
ture he will be gracious person. Free
from gross passion, or of mirth or
anger; constant in spirit swerving with
the blood; garnished and decked in
modest compliment; not working with
the eye without the ear, and but within
purged judgment, trusting neither. He
will sit among men like a descended
god; he will be possessed with a kind
of honor that will set him off, more
than a mortal seeming. He will be as
full of valor as of kindness and princely
in both. Many children will bless his
matrimonial state. He will live short
and WELL
A female child born this month, June,
will be flighty and high liver but will
sober down at forty. She will marry
very young and be the mother of sew
eral children, who will be full of life
and ambition. She will dwell SO Sc
curely on the excellency of her honor
that the folly Of any depraved soul will
not dare present itself; she will be too
bright to be looked against. She will
be to herself a friend and friend to
all her friends. She will be "friend in
need" and a friend indeed.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 30.-A resolution
was offered in the senate by Senator
Patterson of Colorado directing the
secretary of war to order Major
Gardener, now in the Philippines, to
come Immediately to Washington to
appear as witness before the fhiliD-
pine commission. 1t precipitated a
warm discussion. The debate was
continued for two hours, considerable
feeling being manifested on both
sides. The charge was made that the
majority of the committee was en-
deavoring to suppress facts and in
formation. This was denied by the
chairman of the committee. Senator
Lodge, who said any such action
would be inconceivably stupid. All
parties, he insisted, were anxious for
the fullest information, but he ana
others contended it would not be al
vIsable to cable to the Philippines
for Major Gardener as he was abour
to come home and would be here in
time to appear before the committee.
Senators Patterson and Carmack of
Tennessee urged that Gardeners testi-
nony was particularly important and
ought to be had before action was
taken on the bill. The resolution
went over.
The house passed the agricultural
appropriation bill and began consider

Washington, May 1-Aguinaldo was
the special subject for discussion in
the senate. AS soon as the Philippine
government bill was taken up Senator
Carmack of Tennessee resumed his
criticism of the Philippine committee
because of its refusal to call Ag,1in-
aldo and other Filipinos as witnesses.
He maintained that as reflections by
witnesses had been cast on the char
acter of Aguinaldo he ought to be per-
mftted ''in all decency" to defend him
self. Senator Carmack's contention
was sharply combatted by Senators
Foraker of Ohio, McComas of Mary
