Pathetic in the House.

Washington, Feb. 16.-An unusual
number of members of the House of
Representatives were in their seats
to-day on the converting of that body.
The usual hum of voices was notice
ably subdued, as the topic of CONVEX
sation related almost exclusively to
the death of Senator Hanna, and the
prepa rations being rnades for the par
tieipation of the lower body In the fu-
neral services.
The resolutions adopted by the Sen
ate, informing the House of the pro-
visions made by the Senate for doing
honor to the late Senator Hanna, to-
gether with the personnel of the com
mittee~ appointed on the part of the
Senate, were announced
Mr.. Grosvenor offered eulogistic res
olutions,A which were adopted and
Speaker Cannon appointed a commit
tee to attend the funeral.
A pathetic incident attended the
reading of the resolutions. E. L.
Lampson, the reading clerk, formerly
speaker oflthe House of Representa-
tives of the state of Ohio, and former
ly Lieutenant Governor of that state,
reported the. resolutions to the House.
His voice choked, his hands trembled
and at times 1t was with difficulty
that he proceeded, with the reading.
When he finished he sank back in his
chair. His emotion overcame him and
he wept. The House was hushed in
deep silence when the Speaker in soft
and subdued voice laid the resolution
before the House and announced their
adoption. The House adjourned at
1.1h O'clock

GALE BROUGHT WALLS
CRASHING TO EARTH
1t Was Not Safe Within the Burned District of
Baltimore

were heard in distant parts of the
city. Every day a certain section OF
the ruins will be dynamited until all
the walls considered dangerous have
been blown down. During the blast
ing in each area the guards will be
especially active in preventing persons
from running risk of being injured.
Mayor McLane said to-day that he
expected a report from the committee
which is preparing a list Of streets
which will not be affected by change
of building lines, and when that re-
port is gone over by him and the
building inspector and a final settle
ment of the question reached, the
building inspector will be ready to re-
ceive applications for building permits
on such streets.
The general loss committee of the
insurance companies to-day decided
that no statement would be made of
the amount of losses paid. This ao-
ton was taken in Difference to requests
made by the merchants concerned,
whose actual loss will be greater or
less than the insurance, and who OBJ
ject to publicity of private accounts.

Called CIeveIand's Administration n
Milestone i'm His Speech at Madison.
Madison, Fla, Feb. 16.-Hon. VIM. j.
Bryan addressed an audience of sew
eraI hundred people here to-day. The
crowd was too large for the Court
House and the meeting was held in
Central Park. Col. Bryan's speech
was enthusiastically received. He
came as a private citizen, he said, to
discuss national matters and not To-
cal issues. He insisted that govern
ment is a very. simple thing" not as
Bismarck said, "a household governed
by children" nor yet as Hamilton
taught, "a government by the few of
the many" The jefferson doctrine
of "equal rights for all, and special
privileges for none," he said, is the
best of all.
Col. Bryan touched briefly upon all
the political issues; finances, tariff,
comnercialism, Imperialism; alluded
favorably to the Kansas City plat
form, scored the Gold Democrats, and
opposed their reorganization of the
Democratic party; referred to Cleve-
lands administration as milestone
on the neck of the party, and in his
peroration called upon the Democratic
party to rally to its standards.
Col. Bryan was accompanied. by
Gov. Jennings, and Mr.. Stockton, can
dtdates for the United States Senate,
but neither of them spoke.

Baltimore, Feb. 16.--To-day was one
of the severest of the winter. The tenn
perature was as low as degrees above
zero in the early morning, and all day
long gale blew through the ruins In
the fire district at a forty-mile gait,
making the conditions dangerous for all
within the lines. A number of lettering
walls were blown down and bricks tin
roofs and debris went flying in all di-
rections.
The workmen and militiamen on
guard suffered keenly from the piercing
blast, and there were only a limited
number of persons anxious to penetrate
the zone of peril. Merchants who were
formerly located in the extreme west
ern edge of the fire swept territory
were admitted to the fire lines under
special protection for the purpose of
visiting their late locations, but few
remained long after finding out how
dangerous it was.
The dynamiting of walls progressed
all day, and the deafening explosions

CAN OUTRAGES.

Minister Powell Has Reported That
the Consulate mt SANTANA Was En-
tered by an Armed Force-TwO
ucfuGees Were Taken Out-State
DeDartment Has Called Upon the
Navy to Take Action.
washington, Feb. 16.-The rebels in
San Domingo have committed another
breach of international law which, add
cd TO those preceding, are making up
q formidable case that may justify the
United States government in interven-
ing to restore order and protect the
property in the distracted island.
To-day Minister Powell reported to
the state Department that he had re-
ceived belated advices from Jean Viii
lain, the vice consular agent at Sa-
mana, dated Feb. 9. to this effect:
insurgents entered our consulate at
SANTANA with armed force and took
two refugees out"
The State Department promptly COM
municated this information to the Navy
Department, with a request that prop
er action be taken by the naval author
tiles to protect the United States con-
sulate.
This was promptly transmitted to
Admiral Wise. and it is the belief that
he will not only protect the consulate,
but will demand the punishment of the
perpetrators of this outrage, and if the
provisional government is not able to
do this. he will employ the United
States naval force to chastise the in
surgents.

Union National Bank. Guardian Trust

LITERATURE AND BOOZE.
From Golfers weekly.


Five times as much money in 1903, it
is estimated, was spent for literature
as for booze" Under this slang trem
for drink is doubtless included all
kinds of intoxicants, from cider to abb
sinthe and under literature every
grade of type in binding from reprints
of Shakespeare to the latest novel Of
Marie Correlli. 1t would be amusing,
were IL possible, to see IL the drink did
five times the harm. How much cog
mac, for instance, could fairly be set
against an edition OF 100000 of a new
novel by Hall Game? How much beer
would equal in sodden consequences
the seasons output of fictionized his
tory? Good books, whether of the inn
agination or of information, surpass iD
inspiration the finest beverage ever
quaffed and celebrated by Omar or
John Keats, but ordinary books can
not compare in efficiency as evils with
the common abuse of whisky. There
fore, we take the drink expense to be a
misfortune more than five times as
great as the misfortune caused by the
sum wasted upon what our esteemed
contemporaries cheerfully describe as
literature Where drink makes crimi-
nails, novels make nothing worse than
idiots. England has just failed in an
attempt to prevent habitual drunkards
from being served with liquor. 1t
would be still more impossible to de-
wise a system by which habitual con-
sumers of adulterated or otherwise
deleterious reading could be protected
from the qualification of their appe-
tites. There is only one angle from
which the literary menace at all equals
the menace which is made by alcohol.
AS publication increases at "a much
greater rate than brewing, the time
may come when the relative destruc-
ton win be much closer than five to,

which pervaded the Senate itself.
