The Republican leaders of the Senate
are hoping they will be able to break
Senator Quay's grip on that body. He
has the Senate in a position
which permits him to say that
the omnibus statehood bill must
be passed before there is any
other legislation. All business is there
fore blocked. The Republican leaders
are willing that Oklahoma shall be ad-
mitted, but that is not the territory
in which Senator Quay is particularly
interested 1t is claimed by them that
neither Arizona nor New Mexico is fit
for statehood. The House thought diff
ferently, having passed the bill. 1t is
by no means certain that Senator Quay
will be successful in his hold up, ;"
though it look now as If he would. He
is a shrewd manager of such matters
and the Senate should not have per-
mitted itself to get into it's present
fix.
A new factor has entered the situa-
ton. 1t seems that Arizona owes bonds
to New Workers which have a face
value of 100000. The amount of this
indebtedness, however, is much more
than that, because no interest has been
paid on the bonds for long time. Mr..
Bird S. Coler is in Washington repre-
senting the bondholders, and is asking
that Arizona be not admitted to state
hood until she provides for the pay
ment of these bonds. The point he
makes is that if she is admitted with
out providing for this Indebtedness the
chanches are that she will never pay
the bonds.
AS there is quite a strong senti-
ment among Senators against repudia-
ton in any of it's forms it would not
be surprising if Senator Quay should
find this bond factor a strong one in
the way of his carrying his point to
have all three of the territories adj
mitted.
In view of the ease with which
Senator Quay has been able to prevent
the Senate from doing any business I'M
til it complies with his wishes in re-
gard to the territories, it is being sug-
gested that the time has arrived for
that body to amend it's rules. 1t must
be admitted that it is a rather curious
condition of affairs that the Senate
stands by rules which enables one
Senator to block legislation until it
acts upon a bill which he has sue
ceeded in getting before it. Still, the
fact must not be overlooked that the
Senate will doubtless pass the omni-
bus statehood bill when a vote on it is
reached.

The Little True Wife mt Home.

grow so aweary of these large din
ners that 1 sometimes grow cynical,
too, though, thank heaven, the excel
still permits me to punish the menu
with the best of 'em, says a writer in
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Nevertheless,
being asked, t'other night, for a toast.
l felt myself stumped, and declined to
be either epigrammatic or eloquent.
My apologies, fair gentlemen of that
festive ccasion-sound, stout and good
fellows all-and how will this do by
way of recompense for my refusal to
be convivial?
Now, listen, Bohemians, every one,
To the toast l fain would sing,
Whilst you swim in your cups,
Twixt your bites and sups,
And let your laughter ring;
Now, how would it be, when the wit
falls fiat,
And the wine has lost it's foam,
To give a sweet thought
AS indeed you ought
To the little true wife at home?
How fast we've lived, and how long
we've lived,
We people of soul and brain!
How we love to tell
OF things we do well,
And then tell it all again!
And the company shouts in glad ac-
claim,
AS some brave song ringeth true,
But down in your heart
There's a pitiful smart
For the wife-who's waiting for you
They're gallant boys that surround you
here,
And applaud your song with delight,
But which of the lot
Would care a jot
If he stood at your bier tonight?
The banquet's kingly, the wine is
warm,
And story and wit are rife:
But where would you be,
You Bohemian flea,
If shorn of the kiss of your wife?
That little white flower you swore to
love,
Hath naught whatever to do,
But to lay her bright head
In her lonely bed,
And shiver and wait-for you.
So let the wassail run bravely on,
While the wits their fancies comb,
And amidst the revel
.Consign to the devil
The little true wife at home.
The company round you is tried and
true
1t makes you forget the years.
Though the girlish face
That pleased for a space,
Why, what If it's drowned in tears?
The fair-weather friends who surround
you now
Help you to defy the fates,
So why think at all,
In this banquet hall,
OF the wife who watches and waits :?
4
That tender life that belongs to you,
Is, oh, such a little thing!
What bore and a shame
That you gave her your name!
Now let the laughter ring!
Some merry fellow is telling a tale
Scarce fit for innocent ears.
It's good, don't you think?
Let's all take a drink!
To hi with the little wife's tears!
The world is wide, and the world is
fair,
And merriment lengthens life;
But the only truth
In the world, forsooth,
Is found in the heart of The Wife,
But men of intellect ever will err,
And wanderers ever will roam,
The feast was too long;
Oh, cut out the songi
Bohemian, go home!
A little of that sort of thing goes a
long way. It's ill-natured, perhaps.
but it's the way l fell suppose it's
liver.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is going
to lay nickel-steel rails on all of the
heavy curves on its lines. Nickel-steel
is the metal of which armor plate for
warships is made, and the rails to be
used will be in all respects as hard
as armor plate. Standard steel rails
on heavy grades wear quickly and
have to be replaced at short intervals.
Nickel-steel rails cost about three times
as much as the standard rails, but it
is believed their use will prove economi-
cal in the long run.

Dan Patch Prevented from Mak-

NERV0LA WINS THE EVENT
In a Great Contest at ReadViIle Track He Defeats Locanda In the 2:o8 Pace-Other Races Are
 Easily Won.

Readville Mass, September IA south- west gale swept down the stretch at the Readvllle track today and while it pre- vented Dan Patch from attempting to break his record, it did not hinder eX- eellent racing in the regular events es- peeially the 2:os pace In this race Ner- vola was the favorite although many backed Locanda, when 1t was found that the son of Allerton was to be driven by James Golden. Locanda won the first two heats in close finishes, the half in the second heat being paced in 1:0l. The third proved to be the turning point in the race. Hudson, who was driving Ner- vola, took his horse directly in the rear of Locanda's sulky, thus making the latter wind shield. The two kept in this order until within a sixteenth of mile from the finish, when Nervola came out and being stronger, won the heat by a yard.
 The next heat was also well fought out but Nervola still had the speed. The other events were taken in straight heats. Summary:

TEAMS WILL DISBAND.
Huntsville and Columbia Will Have
 Four More Games.

Huntsville, September T.-(Special.)-- After the series of four games in Colum- bia the Huntsville base ball team and the Columbia team will disband and there will be no more games in either town this season. The Huntsville association had planned to hold the team together for exhibition games next week and three games with Birmingham were almost fixed. but as Birmingham could not come until the latter part of the week it was thought best to cancel the games.
 Huntsville and Columbia will both have strong companies to back up their ball teams next year and they will be man. aged in a business-like way. Base ball has not paid a profit in either town this season.
 Lem Bailey, who Is now pitching for the Columbia team, says he is not going to play ball any more, but expects to be manager of a professional team in Selma next season.
