MANY SENATORS ABSENT.
The Sergeant-at-Arms Had to Bring
in the Members

Mr. Nelson had not concluded his re-
marks in the Senate yesterday afternoon
when that body went into executive session
and at APO adjourned. There was good
deal of difficulty in maintaining a quorum,
and 1t became necessary to send out the
sergeant alarms to bring in senators to
answer to roll call. Senator Dubois was
in the chair when Col. Ransdell came in
with Senator Frye, president pro tenn. of
the Senate, and the Senate enjoyed the
scene But forty senators responded to the
roll call which was demanded by Mr..
Beverage, and it took half an hour to Sc
cure a quorum. Before quorum was OBJ
tained the Senate refused to adjourn on mo-
tions Of Mr.. Pettus of Alabama and Mr.. De-
new of New York.

THE RUSSIAN SUGAR BOUNTY.
Count Cassini Cables Decision, but Has
Taken No Action

Except to cable to St. Petersburg the
decision Of the United States Supreme Court
in the sugar bounty case, Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador has taken no &C
ton in the matter While he regrets the
difference Of opinion between his own and
the Washington government on that sub
ject, he does not for moment think the
cordial relations that are traditional be-
tween the two peoples will be disturbed
Count Cassini is unable to say whether his
government contemplates retaliatory meas
ures against the United States as result
of the Supreme Courts decision. The Rus
sian government is unmoved in its convic-
ton that no bounty Is offered on sugar and
is compelled to differ even from the Su-
preme Court Of the United States on this
point.

Then the tramps have sort Of traV-

pass it to some other tramp. 1t keeps
going the rounds in this way until It is

The Sakais, or tree dwellers, OF the
Malay peninsula build their houses IN
forked trees dozen feet above ground
and reach them by means Of bamboo
ladders, which they draw up when
safely housed out Of harms way. The
house itself is a rude kind Of shack,
made Of bamboo, and the flooring Is
lashed together piece by piece and
bound securely to the tree limbs by
rattan.
These curious people are rather small

About Fishes.

Fish ore nearly the same weight as
the water in which they live, so that
they can move in it with great case.
The majority Of them also have an air
bladder inside Of the body, which en-
ables them to so up or down in the
water at will. When a fish desires to
60 down deep it can press the air out
of this bladder by means Of certain
muscles and thus increase the weight
Of it's body, and when it wishes to rise
again it takes off the pressure, the
bladder fills with air again and its
body becomes light enough to rise.
