THE FIFTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS-.
Second Session.

Washington, Jan. 0.-Senate.-Aft-
er the passage of the omnibus claims
bill and fixing January % for the de-
livery of addresses in memory OF the
late Senator Hoar, the senate devoted
the rest Of the day to the statehood
bill. Mr. Mogan spoke for two hours
against the bill
House.-The house adopted the SEN
ate resolution providing among other
things for the holding of the inaugural
ball in the pension building. On \
vive vOce vote the resolution was lost,
but roll call enabled those favorable
to the pension building proposition to
muster their strength and pass it.
Speaker Cannon and several of the
republican leaders recorded them
selves as being opposed to the idea OF
the employment of the pension build
ing for the purpose of inaugural ball.
Washington, jan 1.-THE senate
Tuesday continued consideration Of
the joint statehood bill, the chief ac-'
complshment being the acceptance of
most of amendments suggested by the
committee on Indian affairs Speeches
were made by Messrs Stewart and
Newlands, the former advocating an
amendment for the protection OF the
interests of the Indians in Indian Ter
ritory and the latter favoring limita-
ton of the area of lands to be sold TO
individuals. The bill for the reim-
bursement of American sealers for
losses under the seizures in Boring
sea also was considered, but a vote
was not reached.
The session of the house was given
over almost entirely to discussion Of
the bill reported by the committee on
banking and currency 'to improve cur
ency conditions" A sudden interest
in the measure seemed to develop, as
evidenced by the large membership
present throughout the day Demo
cratic opposition mainly was dissipat-
ed by the adoption Of an amendment
offered by Mr. Williams MISS pro-
viding that government deposits shall
be made only on competitive bids. FL
nah action on. the bill was not taken.
The Impeachment charges on which
Judge Charles Swayne will be tried
were presented just before adjourn
ment and notice was given by Mr..
Palmer (Pa.), chairman of the COM
mittee of seven which prepared them,
that he would take the matter up.

FREDERICK THE GREAT STATUE.
An Attempt to Destroy or Deface 1t
Was Made.

Washington, Jan. 11.-SOmewhat OF
a sensation was caused in this city by
the discovery of what appeared to be
definite and serious attempt to blow
up or deface the statue of Frederick
the Great. given to the United States
by Emperor William of Germany and
erected in the arsenal grounds near
the army war college on the Potomac
river water front 1t was believed at
first that crank had made a real eff
fort at destruction of the statue, but
after a careful investigation the pO-
lice officials say the material used was
incapable of producing damaging re-
suits. A hole in the soft mud about
six inches deep by six inches wide and
II inches long, Is shattered window
panes in nearby buildings and five or
six spIotches of yellow clay on as
many granite steps summed up the
damage done by the bomb which had
been placed on high picket fence
surrounding the statue. An analysis
and examination of the bomb shows
the substance used had not sufficient
strength to wreck the fence
tiny section of cigar box with an
equally tiny piece of burnt candle fast
ened in the bottom also was found.

There's a real estate agent who

AWKWARD DINING IN JAPAN
The First Meal Partaken Of by an
American There Is Sure to
Be Trying.

If it's your first Japanese dinner you're
having dreadfully hard time In the
first place, writes Bertha Runkle, in
Child Life in China and JAPAN you
must sit on the floor, for they don't have
any chairs in Japan. You kneel down,
and then you turn your toes in till one
laps over the other, and then you sit
back between your heels. At first you
are quite proud to find how well you do
it, and you don't think it's so very I'M
comfortable. But pretty soon you get
cramped, and your legs ache as if you
had toothache in them. You don't say
anything, because you think that if the
Japanese can sit this way all day long,
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes Finally both you feet go to sleep
and then you can't bear it moment lon
ger, and you have to get up and stamp
round the room to drive the prickles out
Of your feet, and all the dancing girls
giggle at you This isn't your only trou-
BILE, either. All you have to eat with is a
pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor Now the floor of a
Japanese house isn't just the floor; it's
the chairs and sofas and tables and beds
as well. At home it would be mortify-
ing enough to go out to dinner and spill
something on the floor; but in Japan,
where people sit and sleep on the floor,
it seems even worse. So you are unhappy
till your little nesan (who is the waitress,
and almost as prettily dressed as the
dancing girls, but not quite) comes
laughing to your aid, and shows you how
to hold your chop-sticks. After that you
manage nicely the rice and the omelet,
but the fish and the chicken you can't
contrive to shred apart without drop
ping your chQp-sticks all the time. So,
between dances, the maiko-little girls
about II years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep from
giggling at your awkwardness; but you
don't mind-you just giggle, too; and
everybody giggles and has a lovely
time.

says they do not call to the front
fathers of families. That is only writ
ten for you of Europe and America.
They take widowers with large families
of small children. One of these men,
called to the service, hung his three
small children and reported the fact to
the military authorities. There was no
one with whom to leave them.
Another, called to the ranks on the
day of the death of his wife, who left
him a twO-year-old baby and new
born infant, took an ak and killed the
children and placed them in the coffin
with their mother. Another man when
called to the army killed his wife, his
children and himself.
Groans of Agony.
We see it all at close range. We hear
the means of agony, we see the misery
and oppression of the people, and we are
told that the war is going to last long,
very long.

car demand? The cars government

victims to exhaust the accumulation of

Killed His Wife Rather Than Leave
Her Alone.

Your homes are not surrounded by
gendarmes and spies. You can move
the consciences of your brothers; you
can demand that they put an end to
this horrible massacre, which sets on
the twentieth century in its infancy a
brand of shame.
If you will not do this, if our voice
rouses no response, then there are no
longer any human beings; there is only
a silent, unpeopled desert, on which
hyenas dwell. Then the proposed con-
gress of peace is, like the first, per-
fidious comedy, PROCLAMATION, deri-
sion of the untold misery of wretched
DeOple.

sian army and police, but the precau-
lions would have all proven fruitless
had it not been for his own powers of
endurance, his determination to escape
military service for a hated ruler and
the assistance of devoted wife, who
managed to throw the officers off the
scent until her husband should be well
over the Austrian boundary.

Her letter to American mothers is as
follows:
When several years ago, at the wish
of Car Nicholas H., the first peace
conference gathered at The Hague, it
was received by the friends of humani-
Gy with applause 1t seemed to herald
the dawn of a new era. We Poles alone
knew that the whole project of Mura-
Vieff was a fabrication to mislead the
civilized nations. The car announced
peace, but in his own land there was
no cessation of strife. At the time OF
the conference half the provinces were
under martial rule; and now, while a
second conference is about to take place

despot, but of an elected leader Of the
American people-Russias unmasked, is

New York.-On a dark, stormy
night in October Stanislaus Mazurowski
left his humble home in southern Po-
land and swan the Vistula river near
Sandomiera, on the border between
Russia and Austria. In this manner he
escaped military service in the Russian
army in Manchuria, and started on his
long journey to America.
Concealed in a tightly sealed rubber
case Mazurowski carried with him a
letter to the American people from a
Polish woman of noble birth. His cap
ture with that letter in his possession
would have meant death not only to
himself as a deserter, but death also to
the fair woman for whom he was act

1t is not enough that our brothers are
perishing by thousands in a foreign

perfidy of that government which tore
from them their freedom and their
fatherland. Our people are brought to

Savage Despair.
You cannot imagine the savage de-
spair which overpowers' the masses torn
from the pillow, from the hearth, from
wife and children. If we are going to
perish, let US perish in our own country!
Let us die by the hands of those who
are our enemies!" is the cry of the re-
serves. 1.-The very stones cry out when
they take US. They clamor to the peo-
pie of Warsaw. We are not going to de-
fend Russia. Our country is here!"

themselves under the wheels Of the
trains that carry their relations to the
far east; that cases of sudden death
