Identical in it's terms to the South Da- kota bill. was discussed.
 As in the cose of the South Dakota bill. dilatory tactics were resorted to by its oponents, who compelled the engrossnient of the bill before allow- ing 1t to be put on its passage, necessi- tating its being laid asde for the time being.
 The house then began consideration of the general deficiency appropria- ton bill.
 MT. Hemenway. .und.) chairman of the committee on appropriations having the bill in charge briefly ex- plained its principal features with par- ticular reference to the elliminations which had been put on certain depart ments and appropriations. He laid es- pecial emphasis on the action of the committee in forming a provision designated to curtail the abuse of crea- ting deficiencies in the several depart ments.
 something Wrong.
 After calling attention to the vast increase in the denciencies. of this year over those of last year. Mir, Livingston. (Ga.,) asserted that there must be something radically wrong in the man. agement of the department. He said that in his opinion it was due to con- tracts made and expenditures unautho- rized, and he thought the practice should stop. The best way to correct the growing evil was to adopt the pro- vision referred to by Mir. Hemen- way.
 MT. Longworth (ohio) discussed the subject of the necessity of increasing the salaries of ambassadors, incident ally making a plea for the raising of the Presidents salary to $l00.000.
 In emphasizing his argument for larger salaries to diplomats MT. Long, worth related what he said was an au- thentic case where an American min ister received and entertained dIplo- mats in a three-room house, keeping the flat filled with the odors of cook ing. He received in his shirt sleeves and when his visitors arose to go he would present his card and say. Con-, slider your call returned"
 Conditions, he said. made the quali- fications in wealth of the oil refiner, the steel magnate and the gentleman who converted the pig into breakfast luxury and tooth brushes the most requisite for the career of diplomacy. He gave notice that at the next session he would introduce a bill for the pur- chase of legations in European cap- itals by the United States Government.
 An antitrust speech. was delivered by Mir. Little, of Arkansas.
 Mr. Robinson tArkansas) made caustic observations regarding the beef trust" and MT. Baker (New York) concluded the debate by filing newspaper and other endorsements of his recent condemnation of President Rooosevelt's message of coincidence to the Czar of Russia on the death of Grand Duke Sergius.
 At 7:4s the House adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow.

E1EemeuIs
 St Petersburg. Feb. 2S.-C1:15 p. n.) The fragmentary official and press reports of the fresh reverse sustained by GeRral Kuropatkin are inadequate to draw a conclusion of the magnitude of General Kurokfs success against the Russian left. but the public as usual ia ready to believe the worst and the city is already full of reports that big disaster r as again overtaken the Russian army. according to which Mukden has been outfianked and is un- tenable and Kuropatkin is withdraw ing from his strong position on the Shakhe river. That such reports are exaggeTated is beyond question. but all though reticent and seeking to mini mize the operations of the last few days tht officials of the war office are plainly discouraged at the fashion in which Kuroki is able to drive In and turn the Russian extreme left. his ai- vance column actually crossing the Shakhe river.
 It is admitted that the fighting was desperate at several passes Sunday and Monday. while the front was being en- volved, the purpose of Field Marshal oyama evidently being to keep the cen ter and right engaged and prevent Ku- ropatkin from sending endorsements to head off Kuroki. Should Kuroki cross the Huan River the high road lo Tiepass. forty miles north of Mukden. would be open and Kuropatkin's re- treat threatened.
 Further news Is awaited with great anxiety. Anything like a decisive victo- ry now would probably end the war

The Russians succeed ed in surprising the Japanese bridge guards and after being reinforced beat off all attempts of the Japanese to re- gain it..
 The Japanese are using heavy artii- lery in the bombardment of Putilof hill and Novgorod hill and this is believed to be preliminary to an attempt to storm them. The losses to the defend- ing force are insignificant.

 The fight appears to be increasing in intensity along the whole line. The determined attacks opposite Yan Sin tung and west of vanupudzi were all repulsed with heavy loss. The situation on the Russian left flank is unchanged as compared with Monday evening.

thought the lines should not be drawn too tightly in these matters and he ex- nressed conviction that the President had acted within his authority when he Issued an order for the use of an income of tribal funds in educating Indian children at mission or contract schools. He thought, however. that a mistake had been made and expressed the opinion that public funds had been diverted to the support of sectarian schools. This he considered wrong in nrInciple and calculated to lead to scandal.
 Mir. Penrose made point of order against the committee amendment and also against the amendment offered by Mccumber to the amendment but was overruled on both points. The com roittee amendment related to tribal funds while the McCumber amendment seeks to permit the use of the share of the individual Indian.
 SIorEan's Opinion.
 Mir. Morgan expressed the opinion that MT. McCumber's amendment gives away all that had been gained by the committee amendment. It has the ef- feet he said of confirming all that has been done and of making that legal which otherwise would not be so. The appropriations in the bill made direct at all by Congress he said.
 MT. McCumber replied that the only purpose of his amendment is to give individual choice of action which he said ought to be absolutely legal.

Washington. Feb. 2s.-The Japanese legation today received the following official advices: :
 Our detachment on February 2S att tackled enemy at Chinghocheng, thirty miles east of Pensiho. Strong snow storm and steep nature of ground and melting of ice of Tatzuho greatly hind cred our movements. but by noon our first line managed to press closely enemy's position and deliver fierce att tack.

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Acquisition of Which Would
Assuredly Fit One for an
Exciting Cruise.

Having been sailing one afternoon with
friend, you notice how simple it is to
manage boat; so you buy one-whether
1T is a center-board or a hn-keel boat you
don't know, and it doesn't make any diff
ference so long as you like the color, says
the Chicago Daily News.
Ask half a dozen friends to act as crew.
Great care should be exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
lions as to the management of the boat.
Far better is it for you to train the men
after your own ideas of sailing-and YOU
stand much better chance of getting a
picture of yourself and your boat into the
papers.
After sailing around the harbor few
times without damaging any of the other
boats, you will be in a position to invite
your girl friends to go sailing. If expert
enced yachtsmen tell you that your boat
will with safety carry ten, invite twenty
friends. If you bring them all back you
will establish a precedent.
Never postpone a sailing party because
OF an approaching storm. This would look
cowardly, and by all means establish a
reputation for daring even if you have to
risk the lives of all your friends.
Always carry full canvas-before sauall
and during it. Once outside the harbor
if possible. This will make the trip more
exciting.
By carefully following the above rules
you will give the newspaper reporters a
chance to write columns on Yachting as
the Most Dangerous of Sports" and will
also help the hfe-saving crew to earn their
salaries.

the wood is lifeless in color. as is the

Paper Floors.

Wood pulp or paper floors are the
latest fad in Germany, and the new
idea has many points OF advantage over
the wooden f1oorings. A rough board
floor is first laid, any sort of soft pine
being used, since this is to serve merely
as foundation for the flooring proper.
Over this is spread special prepara-
ton of pulp which dries almost as hard
as stone, and with an absolutely even
surface. When thoroughly dried it can
be painted or stained to initiate any
wood, and, as it is absolutely impervious
to water, oil or dirt, it can be kept much
cleaner than the best hardwood floor,
and the absence of cracks prevents the
gathering of insects under the base
board. 1t costs but two-thirds of what
a hardwood floor would, and it is be-
ing adopted in the best houses. as well
as in the cheaper apartments, where the
item of cost is an important considera-

Stains.
The staining of woods before filling
and vanishing is very common, some
times properly, to darken and improve
the natural color, but more often to i'm
itate the finer and more costly woods by
the use of that which is comparatively
inexpensive and common. Such imita
tions always 'look cheap" while there
is nothing so beautiful as the naturally
fine grain of many of our best woods.
Both water and oil stains of all de-
sired colors, and for all kinds of wood,
are manufactured by the company men
toned above, and sold by their agents
III Oil lAC lol &c SlIlCo VI tuO SSuhSAJ
The water stains are the most common
ly used, not only because of their cheap
ness, but because of their penetrating
and rapidly drying qualities. The OBJ
lection to their use is that. they roughen
and raise the grain of the wood, making
it necessary to sandpaper it smooth be
fore the filler or varnish can be applied.
and this sandpapering, unless done by an
expert, will cause the coloring to be un-
even and often expose the bare wood on
corners and projections. For this rea-
son the oil stains are more and more
coming into use, as they neither raise
the grain nor roughen the surface.
Stains for Oak.
Oak is usually colored by mixing the
coloring material with the filler. Its
grain is so open that it can be easily COL
ored in this way, and filters of any color
may be bought for this purpose already
mixed. If an especially fine bright color
is desired, as in some of the shades of
golden oak" it is necessary to first
stain the oak with an oil stain "a golden

which after drying for six to eight min
utes only, is rubbed off with soft cloth.
This rubs the stain into the open grain
of the wood and cleans it off from all the
hard CLASSY glints, making a beautiful
contrast which can be produced in no
other way. When rubbed off clean and
smooth the oil stain must be allowed to
dry for twenty-four, or, better, for forty
eight hours, before the filler is applied.
All stains are put on with brush and
must be used before filling and varnish-
ing.
