PROCEDURE NOT LIKED.
Senators Condemn instructions Given
to House Conferees.

Washington, May 24.-The army ap.
preparation bill with the message
from the house asking for a confer
ence, with Instructions to its con-
ferees not to agree to the senate
amendments relating to the construc.
ton of barracks and quarters at es-
tablished military posts, thus strik-
ing out the appropriation for such
buildings N Manila, was laid before
the senate yesterday.
Mr.. Spooner said he thought the
procedure of the house was inadmis-
sible, and if the senate acquiesced
now in the proposition made. there
would be no end to the trouble which
would arise.
Mr.. Foraker suggested that he sen
ate merely insist upon its amend.
mentS and thus send the bill back 10
the house. He said that while the
house had been exceedingly disre-
spectful, the senate did not desire to
be disrespectful to the house. No
action was taken.

a very pleasant-looking young lady Of
about 20, very prettily dressed in

sired to take an early morning wheel
ride, and asked how much | charged
for wheels by the hour. said that
the regular rates were 80 cents for
the first hour and 25 cents for each
succeeding hour. She thought for a
minute, and then said she guessed
she would come back in an hour and
get a wheel, and, bless YOU. if she
didn't do it. She came back at 8
o'clock, took a wheel, rode for an
hour, and paid me % cents for it.
