The defeat of the republican leaders

The defeat of the republican leaders in the house of representative which took place when the Cuban reciprocity bill was under consideration was re- peated when the house oyerruled the decision of the chair on an amend ment to the naval appropriation bill, an amendment which provided that three of the ships to be constructed De built in government navy yards and which was adopted, anf now the house has gotten into trouble with the senate ill what promises to be a pretty light The house, objecting to q senate amendment to the army appropriation bill asked for q conference, adding that it had instructed it's conferees not to yield on certain points. This notice the senate regards as q violation of it's dignity and Senator Pettus says that the senate will never yield. It seems probable, therefore, that the house will be compelled to recede from it's posi- tion to it's own infinite humiliation and if it does so another blow to the pres tige of the present leaders will have been struck.

AMERICAN ELEPHANTS.
The Identification of Species iron, Fossil Remains Has Been Pro-
 gressing Very Slowly.

Enough information is afforded from year to year by newly found fossils to enable the naturalists to inn prove their classification of the ele- plants that once roamed over North America. Frederic "A. Lucas, one of the experts in the natural museum in Washington, writes to Science to say that at least three such species have now been identified. Elephas primi- genius, which is the species whose frozen bodies have been exhumed in Siberia. lived in Alaska, British Amer ica, and as far south as Washington, D. C., and St. Louis. It had upward curling tusl1s, shaggy hide, attained height of from nine to 13 feet, and is popularly known as the mammoth. Then there was a second species, Ele- phas columbi, which inhabited the southern part of the United States, and was little larger than the crea- ture just described The late Joseph Leidy, of Philadelphia, one of the greatest authorities in these matters, thought that he recognized a third spe- cies, to which he gave the name of Ele- phas imperator. Mir. Lucas says that teeth discovered in Indian territory last fall confirm Leidy's belief on this point, and establish Imperator as a distinct species.
 Remains of mastodons also have been found in abundance in this coun- try, though in the majority of cases. the species are very incomplete. In- deed, it is unusual to find more than few teeth or tusks of these animals. However, inasmuch as the distinction between mastodon, and elephant is based mainly on dental characteris- tics, an important clew is furnished by single tooth. MT. Lucas declares that more confusion exists in regard to the proper classification of mas todons than of elephants. Only one speciesNof the former is satisfac torily 'outlinedS This is the widely distrib- uted Americanus. He regards the Shepardi, of California, a fairly dis tinct species, and also the Oscurus, or F1oridanus, os the South Atlantic coast. He inclines tc think that Leidy was too cautious in his separation, while Cope appears to him to have gone to the other extreme. It is not unlikely that there we're half dozen species of mastodons in America. but further light is needed to make them clear.

AS no official announcement of the death of Lord Pauncefote reached the White house until noon on Saturday it did not interfere with the ceremonies which attended the dedication of the statue of Rochambeau which took place on that morning. On a stand | before the statue, which was draped withthe flags of the two nations under the flags of France and the United | States, stood the president and the French ambassador, the Countess de Rochambeau, the Count de Lafayette and numerous others, while Dr Staf- 1 ford offered the invocation. President Roosevelt then extended to the French guests cordial welcome and. as the Marine band struck up the ~MarseiI- laise," the Countess of Rochambeau stepped forward and unveiled the stat ue of her distinguished ancestor. The guns of the Fourth battalion boomed out the national salute, the French and American marines presented arms and the Oid Guard i'll colonial uniform, threw up their hats, the whole pre-, senting q scene which ill many respects must have resembled that depicted at Hartford 122 years ago when General George Washington welcomed the Count de Rochambeau and the G.OOO troops and the companies of marines he had brought to assist in the cause of American independence The French visitors attended service at St Pat rick's church yesterday morning and left last evening for Niagara Falls. The receptions which had been planned to take place at the residence of Mrs Letter and at the French embassy on Saturday evening were omitted out of respect to the late Lord Pauncefote.

Mammoth Wheat and Flour Combine
 For Kansas and Missouri. <
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 26.-Wai- ter Vrooman of the western co-opera- tive movement has closed contracts for the purchase of six of the largest wheat elevators in the Kansas wheat belt and two of the largest fouring mills. The price paid is said to have been $750,000, and MT. Vrooman, who has left for New York to complete the financial end of the plan, says the pres ent purchase is but the beginning of a movement to center the farmers of Kansas in a cooperative branch of the Vrooman Cooperative company.
 The concern will be known as the Wheat and Flour Western Cooperative company. The farmers are to be taken into the scheme upon the payment of $1O0 each, for which they are to re- ceive the market value of their wheat when sold to the company and in addi- ton will receive one-half of the profit derived, the other half going to coop erative stores through which the wheat and four will be handled.
 ''The plan," said Mir. Vrooman, 'is to eliminate wheat spectators and the middlemen. The farmers are in earnest sympathy with the movement. It is the only way to head off the talked of flour trust that is forming in New York"
 It is intended to ship to Great Britain to be sold among the cooperative mem bers there the surplus product not dis. posed of in Kansas and Missouri.

Sir Joteendro Tagore, Maharajah in British India--Puts Richee
 to Good Use.

Sir Joteendro Tagore, says the Lon don Chronicle, is unfortunately not able to come to London for the corona tion after all, but he will be represent ed by one of his nephews. Calcutta will not be sorry, for it would sadly miss Tagore if he were only out of the city for few months. Sir Joteendro is probably the wealthiest zemindar in eastern India, and he has always made most excellent use of his riches. Apart from his regular heavy output in the way of charity and general phi lanthropy, he is liberal patron of the arts, and no one of note who has ever visited the Indian capital has missed passing through eAe hospitable Tagore castle, in Tagore street, which is only one of the great mans many mansions. Tagore has on two occa- sions--in 1877 and 1s91-b been president of the British India association, and he was created maharajah in hered- lty about ten years az .

In case just decided, Justice Mar can of Brooklyn holds that for a wo- man to whack her husband over the bead once with a stove liter is not intolerable cruelty in the .contempla- ton of the law.-New Britain Herald.
 MT I. Townsend Burden, a million aire, was arrested in New York city last night for running his automobile at an excessive rate of speed in Gen. tral Park West. When a policeman called out to him that he was going too fast and asked him to slow up, he disregarded the request and maintain ed his excessive speed. That is not a good example for a millionaire to set to the rest of the automobile fratern- ity. The policeman is certain that Mir Burden was travelling at rate of more than thirty miles an hour.-Hart- ford Times.

There was remarkable scene in the United States senate on Thursday, writes a Washington correspondent. An old man, white with the snows of many winters and slightly bent, stood among the senators. Like Socrates teaching the men and youths of Ath- ems, he appealed to them with an elo- quence seldom equalled to remain true to the faith of their fathers. For a quarter of a century this same old man. George Frisbie Hoar, has sat in the senate chamber and no one has had occasion to question his republicanism, but on Thursday he announced that his conscience would not permit him to vote with his party on the Philippine question for it's opponents had forgot ten the faith of their ancestors whose lessons fell upon ears of men dazzled by military glory and delerious with the lust of conquest" Concluding a pow erful arraignment of the republican policy in the Philippines, MT Hoar ap- pealed to his colleagues in these words: Let us, at least, have this to say, we too have kept the faith of our fathers. We took Cuba by the hand. We deliv- cred her from age-long bondage. We welcomed her to the family of nations. We set mankind an example never be- fore beheld of moderation in victory. We kept faith with the Philippine peo- pie. We kept faith with our own his tory We kept our national honor un- sullied. The flag which we received without rent we handed down with out stain,

You want a strong, stout TRUNK when you turn your belongings over to the tender mercies of railway trains and baggage smashers. A poor Trunk is about as unproftable an investment as you can make.

In Hour of Need and Passes
 Quiet Sunday at the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, May 26--The menl- bers of the French mission which came to Washington to attend the ceremo- nies incident to the unveiling of the Rochambeau statue have finished their visit here and last night left the city for Niagara Falls on their week S tour of the east befo&a sailing for home. There were no formal functions on the programme for the day, but the visitors found every minute of their time occupied in attending divine serv- ice, returning numerous calls, official and otherwise. and in drives about the city and suburbs.
 A quite unexpected feature of the afternoon and one which pleased the visitors very much was an invitation from President Roosevelt to accom- pany him and several others on q horse back ride. The entire party assembled ill front of the White House about 4 o'clock, the visitors in their uniforms making a very pretty picture in the bright afternoon sunlight A photo graph was taken of the group while there. The president guided the party through the northern section of the city until they reached the Geological park. While in the park storm be- gan to gather, and the party came home at q lively canter.

MATTERS OF TAEFE.
Falling in Love, One of Them, Accord ing to French NOtions-How,
 When and Where.

The Figaro, which is an authority on such matters, enumerates some o1 the very latest ideas of Parlsian so- ciety for the summer. When to go out of town is the first question raised. The answer is that to leave Paris immediately after the Grand Prix is most unfashionable thing to do nowadays. People in the knew only went off just in time to escape the national fete. This announce ment,g by the way, has been a cruel blow to those who thought they were doing the right thing by leaving town in June. Where to go is. the second question.
 Finally, what is the proper way to fall in love this summer? We learn that, during the hot weather, at all events, burning passions are tabooed. Love unto.death is bad form. The same favorite poets or novelists may beread over together, long walks may be taken, preferably, however, in the company of a party of friends, so as to remove any suspicion of romance, and motor drives en tete-a-tete are not only allowed but encouraged, as it is not considered that there can be any taint of tender emotion about such excursions.
