WARM WORDS PASSED.
Representatives Hearst and Sullivan
Critic Each Other.

STItZo 6dCu OtucTs
Washington, Ferb. 15.-Not in re-
cent years has the house witnessed such
a spectacle as it did Monday, with Mr..
Sullivna of Massachusetts, and Will
liam R. Hsasrt of New York as the
central figures. Both INDUCED in per-
sonalities Of the gravest character and
stirred the house so as to arouse among
certain members feeling of the great
est indignation. Mr.. Sullivan heaped
upon Mr.. Hearst a TRADE of denuncia-
ton, while the latter by implication
charged Mr.. Sullivan with. completely
ian a murder. The affair grew out of
the recent discussion of the freight rate
question in the house, when Mr.. Sulli-
van inquired of Mr.. Lamar of Florida,
who was favoring the Hearst bill, why
Mr.. Hearst did not defend his own bill,
this being followed by q criticism Of
Mr.. Sullivan in the New York Ameri-
can.
Seveal appeals were made to speaker
Cannon to cause the two men to desist
in their abuse Of each other. Speaker
Cannon, however, allowed them to pro.
coed. Mr.. Sullivan concluded, but
in the case of Mr.. Hearst, the speaker,
on reconsideration, noticing the temper
of the house, decided that an accusa-
ton of homicide against fellow men,
Der was supplementary, because it
was calculated to provoke disorder and
disturbance. Almost Immediately
thereafter Mr.. Hearst took his seat,
hurting defiance and declaring that it
would be his pride to continue his hos.
tility to individuals. such as he charged
Mr.. Sullivan to be.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Few Minor Fights occur-War Oppo-
sltion In Russia.

Few Minor Fights occur-War Oppo.
sition In Russia.
There were minor clashes between
the two armies in Manchuria last
week. but nothing that approached an
engagement in character. Low tenn
perature still prevails and, warned by
the suffering that grew out of Kuro-
patkin's recent aggressive movement,
there is evidently disinclination to
attack with large bodies at time of
such severe frost. Artillery has been
active, however, and during the week
he Russians shelled the Japanese
right. left and center, but apparently
without effect.
1t was announced at st. Petersburg
that Rojestvensky's squadron, now in
the Indian ocean, would proceed to
the far east during the month so as
to avoid the bad weather of the mon.
soon season, and assurances were
given that additional vessels would be
sent out from the Baltic to make the
Russian fleet in Asiatic waters still
more formidable.
There are signs that the Japanese
will blockade Vladivostock with the
opening of spring. but the Russians at
that garrison profess to be in readi-
ness to Withstand a siege and insist
that blockade can not work any Sc
rious hardships to an army within
that is now we'll supplied.
Opposition to the war is still mani
fest In Russia, and several newspe-
pers have boldly demanded that it be
stopped. Persons high in authority
continue to scout the idea of peace
and reiterate the determination of the
car and his councillors to prosecute
hostilities with more energy than ever
before.

Bound by a Spell

"Abode of fiddlesticksv' he cried i,rey-
erently; "how jolly green you are to be-
lieve what that snuffling old hypocrite
tells you! It's the jolliest and loveliest
place In the world. Abode of Satan?
It's more like the abode Of angels! Why,
the women are the beautifulest creatures
you ever saw-such treat after carrots
and gooseberry eyes down stairs"
We shivered with alright at the terms
applied by this daring renegade to the
Rev. Obadiah and his daughter The
power Of the strong mind over the weak
er is well known. We were fatuously
weak-mere puppets in the hands OF this
experienced boy of the world.
He produced two coins from his pock-
ct, and before we knew what we were
about, he had initiated us into another of
the sins stigmatized by our tutor-toss-
ing. The fates decided in my favor. l
tried to get out of 1t; but such was
the irresistible influence that Cook exer-
cised over us that we had no power to
struggle against his will, and felt my
self compelled to acquiesce in his pro-
posal that l should hold myself ready
any night that heard a pebble thrown
against the window to arise, dress my

started from every pore at the thought;
but. with trembling voice, I promised,
for all that.
Shaking hands with us all round, and
reminding me once more of my appoint
ment, with threats of vengeance if l fail
ed. this wonderful phenomenon scrambled
out Of window, and in few seconds we
heard him thud upon the ground be-
meath.
Friday evening came. Eight o'clock
was our hour for bed. 1t so happened
that on that particular night Mr.. Porter
hurried us away rather earlier than
usual.
Crack! There he was! My heart leap
ed into my mouth, and could scarcely
repress cry, so excitedly nervous had l
become. gently opened the window and
looked out. There was Josiah, looking
up at me.
Come on" heard him whisper.
