The funny incident that occurred
In the Senate Thursday-Mr. Warren
OF Wyoming, taking a bottle from
Senator Tillman's coat pocket and
holding it up to the galleries with a
twinkle in his eye-did not turn out
to be as amusing as it's perpetrator
imagined. Instead OF it being a bot
tie OF whiskey, as Senator Warren
thought, it was q bottle OF medicine
for an liberated sore throat. The
dignity with which Mr.. Tillman bore
himself under such a breach OF Ell
quette, gained for him the sympathy
OF the Senate and for Mr.. Warren
disgust. Mr.. Tillman explained, and
Mr.. Warren apologized, but the apol-
ogy was not accepted by the Sena-
tors, who could not conceal their dis
gust. It is rather strange, and yet
greatly to his credit, that Mr.. Till
man behaved himself so well under
such a trying ordeal.

NAVAL BILL PASSES HOUSE
Were Several Party Contests Before
Final Vote Was Taken.

Final Vote Was aken.
Washington. Feb. II. 80 The house
passed the naval appropriation bill
after having had It under considera-
tim for a week. There was a party
contest on a number OF propositions
during the day, especially on an effort
of different minority members TO w.
cure an amendment to fix the price OF
armor plate at the figure bid by the
Midvale Steel company Special
amendments were ruled out on points
of order. and the Republican leaders
by skillful parliamentary tactics left
the matter OF armor plate to the dis
erection Of the secretary OF the navy. An
Intellectual attempt was made TO have
the eight-hour law applied to all ship
construction The contest over sub
marine boats was quite exciting. and
an amendment was finally adopted
which leaves the question OF the type
of boat open but increases the amount
of the appropriation for such boats.

not yet been fully notified OF the fact.
1t will be a hard matter TO fill Mr..

County Review, one of the sub
stantial Democratic papers Of the
state: "liarry b. HAYES writes
II $ and asks what we think Of his
Hannibal speech. Well, Harry,
to be plain with you, we think it
is a low, mean, dirty, nasty effort
to belittle another mans work.
1t is STOPPING too low for a man
of your calibrc. Give Folk his
dues and fight him to your hearts
content, but do it in the open.
We do not claim Mr.. Folk to be
spOtless, but we do claim you are
acting wrong in your action;
you will not hurt Folks chances
to any great degree, but you are
injuring the cause of Democracy.
That is part OF what we think,
Harry, we dare not express our
whole thoughts. You might
think us perverse. But stick to
your law Office OF do things on
the square"
