Mr.. Clapp as a Humorist.

The claims OF Mr.. Clapp as one of the
humorists of the Senate are firmly estab-
lished even thus early in his career On
Tuesday he began to make speech
against Mr.. Quay's amendment to the
Chinese exclusion bill. When he was in
formed that the amendment had already
been lost he remarked, without sec
ond's hesitation: well, Mr.. President,
all have to say is that the Senate has
missed one of the finest speeches it might
have heard this session" He took his
seat amid shout of laughter.
Another instance of Mr.. Clapp's wit
occurred during the debate in executive
session on the Hay -Pauncefote treaty.
Mr.. President" he said, in view Of
the fact that what we say in executive
sessions is always very fully and very ac-
curately reported in the newspapers, and
for the purpose of saving the newspaper
men the trouble of getting their infor-
nation in a roundabout way, ] am in fa-
yor of debating this question in open Sen
ate and all other executive questions as
well"
Mr. Clapp said this with a very grave
face. II raised great laugh. The next
day he did speak on the treaty in open
session. and it is said that he has never
spoken in executive session since.

Mr.. Morgan's New Record.

Senator Morgan OF Alabama made n
new record yesterday. He has long worn
the belt as the champion Iong-distance
talker of the Senate, but hereafter he
must be known as the champion long dis
tance reader as we'll.
On Wednesday he gave notice that he
would ask leave CT the Senate yesterday
to make speech on his favorite topic.
the Nicaragua Canal In Difference to this
desire of the venerable Senator it was ar
ranged to lay aside temporarily the pend
ing business, which is the Philippines
civil government bill, and al 1925 yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Morgan took the floor.
few Senators who had matters of legis-
lation that they were anxious to arrange
for asked him how long his speech would
be. and he promptly replied, "One hour
and half"
Then he drew from his desk some print
ed slips. turned his face to the Republi-
can side of the chamber and started in.
The luncheon hour came and went, the
hour and a half faded into the dim dis
tance, the gallery spectators fed to the

Filipino Music.

The Filipinos have no conception OF
sacred music as distinguished from secu-
lar airs. All tunes are alike to them so
far as that is concerned.
Capt. Francis Pierpont Siviter. OF the
Forty-first Volunteer Infantry was sta
toned at the town of Mexico, province of
Luzon, where he was in charge of about
10000 square miles of territory. He says
that when he went to Mexico the band
which provided the music for the Catholic
Church was in the habit of playing
"Aguinaldo's March" at the most solemn
portion of the church service. One day
the captains Interpreter said to the
leader OF the band: You'd better stop
playing that insurrecto march. or ell
captain will put you in the calaboose."
The musician inquired what sort of mu-
sic would suit the captain. and the in
terpreter supplied him with the music of
the Star Spangled Banner" Ever since
then the strains of "Oh, Say, Can You
See?" rise daily in the church service

Coaching in Old Days.

On December q, 1Si3, the Prince of
Wales" the last of the coaches runnin g
between London and Bristol, was taken
off the road. The decay of coaching had
set in about four years earlier, and one
by one coaches had given place to the
railway, after enjoying palmy days last
ing about twenty years. Ii was on the
Bristol road that the first mail coach was
driven, the institution being due to the
enterprise Of Mr.. Palmer, Member of Par
lament for Bath. The coach started from
London on August ). 1884, at a. m, and
reached Bristol al IL O'Clock in the night,
the coaches previously driven taking from
Monday tc Wednesday to reach Bath.
Other rontes were opened in the follow
ing year, rnC the regulation pace of six
miles an hL-r gradually increased to ten,
when The railroad entered into competi-
ton, carried the first mail in 1888, and
killed coaching.-London Chronicle.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
"Black Eagle of Northwest"

| Senator Moses Edwin Clapp, of Min
nesota. locally known as The Black
Eagle of the Northwest" can see point
as well as make speech, and this facul-
| ty was amusingly illustrated in the Senate
chamber yesterday The Senate was pro-
| ceeding under the five-minute debate rule
| to dispose of the Chinese exclusion bill
| and proposed amendments.
Senator Dolliver, the silver tongued
Hawkeye, had just piped a clarion note
and taken his seat, when Mr.. Clapp arose
to do a little vocal soaring himself.
Senator Quay had introduced two
amendments, one to allow the immigra-
tion of christianized Chinese under GER
tain restrictions of ecclesiastical and
consular authority whatever that may
mean, and the other permitting the ad-
mission of Chinese citizens who assisted
in the defense of the legations and of
the Pe-tang cathedral during the Boxer
war, and these amendments formed the
subject of the Black Eagles scream.
He favored the second amendment and
was fairly started on an eloquent denun-
citation of the first when interrupted by
Senator Quay, who, with his soft voice
and modest way, begged permission TO
state to the Senator that his amendment
admitting Christians had already been
acted on by the Senate and defeated.
The Black Eagle seemed disconnected
for q moment. He looked about him as if
to ask, Can this be true?" and then, wav-
ing his right hand comprehensively and
with a good natured, expansive smile
overspreading his swarthy black-mus-
tached face, he said:
We'll. Mr. President, under those cir
cufnstances all I've got to say is that
the United States Senate has missed the
finest speech ever delivered in this body"
He sat down amid uproarious applause
from floor and galleries.

Interstate Commerce Commission

The Interstate Commerce Commission
should be given more authority or else il
should be abolished as a useless and ex-
pensive bureau" said Mr.. w. R. Corwine,
representing the Merchants Association
of New York, at the Shoreham.
The people of this country thought
that when the Commission was created
some fifteen years ago that it would put a
check on the unjust charges and discrim-
nations of the carriers. They have been
disappointed, for the Commission, though
willing enough to remedy the evils com
planned of, has never been in a position
to make its rulings respected
The Corliss bill, which all the great
commercial bodies of the United States
favor. is not radical legislation. but it
does give the Commission some authority
over the transportation companies. The
Commission should be the arbiter between
the railroads and the people, with power
enough to enforce fair play on both sides.
If it is to be nothing more than bureau
of statistics the time for its abolition
has arrived"

From Obscurity to Prominence.

The little coral reef in the South Pa
cifc Ocean known as Tanning Island, is
to be resting place for the English sub
marine cable to stretch its long length
from British Columbia to the Australian
Commonwealth. Although a mere speck
on some maps, and entirely absent from
most aliases, it has developed great i'm
portance in the telegraph system OF the
world.
II lies l ,0s0 miles south of Hawaii, and
to be geographically accurate, is situat-
ed in latitude 3 degrees 81 minutes %
seconds north, and in longitude Is degrees
q minutes 50 seconds west. On this is
land the Pacific Gable Board, by which
name the English cable company is called,
has determined to establish its midocean
station, expending, thereon between $780,,
600 and $4,000 in San Francisco.
The plans for the buildings have been
prepared in that city by Henry II. Meyers,
and provide for quarters for the tele
graphic staff, Sinehding the operating
room, a dwelling for the superintendent
of the station; a carpenter shop, bath
houses, lamp room. kitchens and a large
reservoir for the catching and preserva-
ton of rain water for drinking purposes.
The walls of these structures are to be
of coral obtained on the island but all
the other material will come from San
Francisco. The coral will be covered with
cement on the exterior, and the buildings
will be made as nearly fireproof as pos
sble. They will be for the most part
two stories in height.
The telegraph cable station will be To-
Gated at English Harbor, the only ship
ping entrance on flaming Island, although
it is nine and half miles long and four
miles wide. popularity OF the place
is that it is not above two or three feet
above the level of the ocean, excepting
on the outer coast where the rim of the
coral has been thrown up by the action
of the sea to the height of ten feet in
some places.
There are trees on the island, but they
are mostly cocoanut, so that fuel. as
well as drinking water, is scarce article.
The coral isle has been British posses
sion since 1888.

Mrs. McKinley's Pension Upheld.

| Representative Kluttz OF North Caro-
| lima, seldom addresses the House. When
| he does, however he invariably commands
| attention and this he did last Saturday.
1t was during the debate on the bill to
| grant a pension TO Mrs. Mckinley. The
discussion was precipitated by Repre-
sentative Bel, of Colorado.
The gentleman from the Tar Heel State
| is always to be found in his seat during
| the sessions of the House. He was en-
gagged with his correspondence when the
| bill to pension Mrs. Mckinley was report
| ed by the Clerk. Representative Bell took
the floor to make a few remarks on the
precedent that had been established to
| pension the widow of President.
In an instant Mr.. Kluttz was all atten-
tion. After several speeches had been
| made. the North Carolinian was recogniz-
ed and delivered himself of the following
remarks which were applauded to the
echo:
Mr.. Chairman, shall support this bill
most heartily and cheerfully. | regret
very much that the question OF pension
for Mrs Harrison should have been in
" irrelevant, not before the House, and
the circumstances entirely different. As
has been shown by the distinguished gen.
tleman from Ohio tMr. Grosvenor), this
country and the Congress have established
a well-defined policy OF pensioning the
widows of Presidents OF the United States
and | think that policy easily justified.
Il think ii is the duty of this great
country, and of this Congress as repre-
senting it, to place absolutely beyond
want, and beyond peradventure of want,
the future of the widows of our Presi-
dents 1t is a duty which has been per-
formed in all other cases, and ! can see
no reason why an exception should be
made in this.
Indeed, sir If the precedent had never
been established. II We had not pensioned
the widow of a single President, l should
DE in favor of pensioning the widow of
William Mckinley. | do not believe this
country ever had Il more devoted public
servant than he. | do not believe that the
earth which holds him dead bears alive
a knightlier gentleman. He fell in the
prime of his usefulness; fell by the hand
of an assassin; fell, to the grief and re-
gret of this great nation.
II hope, Mr.. Chairman. this bill viii
pass unanimously. 1t is not dole OF char
ity. Ii is but a generous recognition of
the universal sentiment OF our people
