There isn't the slightest possibility
that Kuropatkin will eat his Christ

the most abundant feast spread out

Didn't Do Their Work.

In criticising the paragraph relating
10 the Bureau of Corporations, Mr.
Baker of New York said that his COM
plant was not that too much money
had been appropriated for the pay of
special attorneys, special examiners
and special agents, but that no use
had been made of the money. There
had been, he said, demand to inveS-
tigate what had come to be known as
the trusts" What is the result?'
he inquired. Absolutely nothing" he
said, answering his own question.
He had been assured by a friend in
the department that an investigation
had been made of one corpora ton,
whose books were so kept that it could
not be ascertained whether that cor
poration had made $780, 900, 900 or ST.
100000. From this he drew the de-
duction that either there was a lack
of competency on the part of men de-
tailed by the Bureau of Corporations
to make Investigations, or else a lack
of intent on the part of the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor to get at the
facts.
1t was, he said, a notorious fact that
steel rail association exists. and yet,
he said, he had been informed that the
House Judiciary Committee would re-
port adversely on his resolution to in
vestigate that association on the
ground that it was a rumor. In stem
torian tones he declared, amid Demo-
cratic applause, that it was a "rumor
so strenuous, so terrible that it can
take the American people by the throat
and exact an undue tribute of $50, 00O,-
000," He ridiculed the idea that any
one. did not know of such an associa-
ton.
On point of order by Mr.. Maddox
of Georgia, the salary for the position
of chief of the Bureau of Manufactures
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor was abolished. AS amended,
the bill then passed.
The House adjourned until Monday.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The House to-
day passed the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, practi-
cally as it came from the committee,
and adjourned until Monday.
With the disposal of the provisions
relating to the Civil Service Commits
sion, which yesterday caused so much
discussion and criticism. there was no
lengthy debate on any item to-day.
Throughout the session the policy of
retrenchment held full sway. and all
attempts to increase salaries failed.
By the terms of concurrent resolu-
ton, which was adopted, the House
agreed to adjourn on Dec. q until
Jan. 4. 1905, for the usual Christmas
holiday.
When adjournment was taken yes
terday the discussion was on the
amendment of Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa,
cutting off appropriations for the Civil
Service Commission. BY a viva Voce
vote the amendment was lost.

clared the provision for rural carrier

weighted down with emblems OF
mourning. They are about as clipper

The situation. therefore, may be re-

Senators Knox of Pennsylvania and
Crane of Massachusetts were great and
important men, before they. entered
the United States Senate. Now they
are ascertaining how small great men
may sometimes be made. They are
being put at the foot of the class"
on all committees to which they are
assigned, and in other manners made
to realize that the Senate is the most
august deliberative body in the world"

about this thread Of plot and neither

thing = Conserva atisr. Liberalism,
home rule. the land question, the
church question-jests throughout
except in one place, where he per-
nits himself TO be more serious than
perhaps he ever has been before This
IS when one of the Irish characters
named Keegan. an idealist, is asked TO
describe the heaven Of his dreams. He
replies:
IN my dreams it is country
where the state is the church and the
church the people, three in one and
one in three; IL is a commonwealth in
which work is play and play is life,
three in one and one in three; II is a
temple in which the priest is the wor-
shipper and the worshiper the wor-
shipped. three in one and one in three;
the Godhead in which all the life is
human and all humanity divine, three
in one and one in three"
That passage must have come
straight from the authors heart and
the way in which IT is delivered has
made a strong impression on all who
have seen the play.
