CUMMINGS BECAME AROUSED.
Showed Anger at Opposition Of Dem.
ocrats to Manila Army Post
Appropriation.

Washington, Jan. 23.--Some of the
old partisan fire was injected into
the proceedings of the house yester-
day when the item in the urgent de-
ficiency bill appropriating $500,000 for
military post at Manila, which the
Democrats have been using as text
for speeches in opposition to the
Philippine policy of the administra.
tion for the last three days, was
reached. Mr.. Cannon. in charge Of
the bill. confessed that the appropria-
ton was subject to a point of order,
and 1t went out. In lieu thereof, he
offered an amendment to appropriate
the same sum for the shelter and
protection" Of the officers and enlist
ed men Of the army on duty in the
Philippines. This the chair held to
be in order, and it at once became
the subject Of a very spirited debate,
in which Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader; Mr. Williams, Of Mississippi,
and Mr.. DeArmond, of Missouri, were
pitted against the chairman Of the
appropriations committee. Partisan
applause rang out on each side to
cheer on the respective champions,
and there seemed to be a solid lineup
on each side of the political aisle.
But when the vote came to be taken
Mr.. Cummings, New York Demo
crat, voted with the Republicans,
turning angrily on his political breth.
rem as he did so, and with clinched
fist in their faces, crying out that he
hoped he might be paralized when he
refused to protect an American sol.

amendment stood: Ayes, 1877; nays,
100
Before the general debate closed
Mr.. Watson paid beautiful tribute to

FARMER SOLVED
TRAMP PROBLEM
Could e Account for Numerous
Calls for Food Until He
Made q Discovery.

William Wallace, farmer residing
near Canton, has made discovery
which he believes will rid him of the
large number of tramps who have an
noyed him almost beyond endurance.
For several weeks past, Mr.. Wallace
noticed that the number of tramp Wis
itors at his home was increasing and
he was at a loss to know the reason
why. All who came were treated
courteously and none were turned
away without first having been given
eatables of various kinds. But why
his generosity seemingly caused the
number of visitorsxto increase, he
could not quite figure out as the same
face was seldom seen twice.
Finally the secret of the perplexine
question was discovered and he now
believes that he will be bothered less
by the wanderers.
Along the road a few rods from the
house Is long board fence. A pecu-
liar kind of marking had been noticed
on several Of the boards but this car
ried no significance with it so far as
any member Of the family was con-
cerned, and it was erased one day by
Mr.. Wallace who little dreamed that
in so doing he had delivered himself
from the tramp evil and discovered
the secret of their numerous visits.
The following day, a tramp came to
the house and asked for something
to eat which was given him. He
left the house and in passing the fence
marked on it in style similar tc
that which could have been seen 6
few days before. The act was seen by
the farmer and he at once concluded
that the strange marking was meant
for the benefit Of other members Of
the craft. who. seeing it, would know
that within the house was sheltered
one who would never turn them ava,
without first appeasing their hunger
