HUMoR IN THE SENATE.
Amusement Caused During the Debate
on the Pure Food Bill.

Senator Hemenway, who still remembers
the expressions used In the House of Rep
resentatives. from which he was compare
lively recently promoted to the Senate,
caused some amusement during the debate
on the pure food bin today. He referred to
Senator Hepburn on several occasions as
the gentleman from Idaho. as is the custom
of members in referring to one another IN
the House OF Representatives.
After several references of this kind Sena-
tor Hemenway realized that he had used
an expression that was not in place in the
Senate. and turning TO Mr.. Hepburn re-
marked:
II hope the Senator from Idaho will ex-
cuse me for calling him a gentleman
Later, Mr.. Henenway had occasion to saw
something of Senator Gallnger who is
known as an eminent physician, having at
tanned d high place in his profession before
he entered the Senate.
Mr.. Hemenway remarked In reference to
some medicine that had been referred to
that the most eminent physician In the
Senate, referring to Senator GalIinger, had
had that medicine in his house for many
years.
As Senator Gailinger is the only physician
in the Senate, his rank as the most emf
nent Of them all WAS regarded as in the
same class as the school hoy who was the
head of his class of which he alone was d
member.

ANOTHER KOREAN SUICIDE.
Victim Driven to It by Shame of jap
anese Occupancy.

VICTORIA. B. c., February 20.-Another
patriotic suicide to protest to Japanese oc-
cupancy In Korea is reported. Mr.. Chong,
reputed the most prominent OF Confucian
literati in Korea, announced that he would
commit suicide in protest to the convcn-
ton with Japan, but the Japanese police
prevented him from doing so and returned
him under guard to his native place. His
wife refused to admit him. stating he would
be eternally disgraced If he tanely aban-
doned his determination. He then went to
a temple and swallowed opium, leaving a
farewell document addressed to the Ko-
rean people and another to his fellow lit
erati, declaring that death was the only re-
patriot.
Fire at Toxic destroyed AS houses in the
Asakusa district on January 81. Several
people were burned to death.
kilograms from Vladivostok to Japanese
papers report the destruction of a train
and precfpitated into river. The loss of
life is given as 5000. but this is considered
exaggerated. On January % another col
lision occurred between Cossacks and pris-
oners from Japan, the latter unarmed. and
1 500 were reported killed or wounded.
About one-third of the wounded were taken
to hospitals, the others being left lying on
the snow.
Heavy rains in Java have caused great
floods, many natives being drowned. The
destruction of growing paddy and damage

sPooNER AND KNOX CONFER.
Compromise Proposition on Railway
Rates Looked For.

Senator Spooner and Senator Knox held
a conference today. during which, 1t is I'M
derstood. they discussed some OF the fea-
lures of pending railroad legislation Sen
ator Spooner has not yet announced his
views on this subject in such a definite
shape as to indicate what sort of an amend
ment to the rate bill providing for an ap-
peal from the decisions of the interstate
commerce commission to the courts he will
approve.
But Senator Spooner has come forward in
so many instances with propositions to
compromise that have proved successful in
making what have been practical dead
locks in the Senate that he is now locked
to by many OF the senators as likely to
again play this part in extrlcating the Sen
ate from it's difficulties IN disposing of
rat bill.
1t is understood that Senator Spooner has
had in mind several forms of amendments
to the Hepburn bill. There have been other
conferences over the rate legislation but in
many Instances senators have accepted as a
pleasant relief from work on the commit
tee On interstate commerce the recess which
has been taken until next Thursday
1t Is expected that by Thursday morning
both Senators culom and Tillman will be
back In the committee, and that voting on
the amendments to the Hepburn bill and on
all pending bills will then be taken up, and
rapidly pushed to a conclusion.

HUNGARIANS WARNED.
Official Notice Armed Force Will Pre-
vent Meeting.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, February 20-The
official gazette today published a notiffca-
tion of the royal commissioner. General
Nyiri. upholdng the legality of yesterdays
dissolution Of the Hungarian parliament,
maintaining that the rescript was read In
the presence of thirty or forty deputies. ard
warning the deputies that any attempt to
hold the sitting Of the house convened for
tomorrow viii be prevented by armed force.
The scene OF the conflict between the coau-
ton party and the crown will not lie trans
1erfed from budapest to the country dis
trlctS, where disorders can be expected with
In week. The coalition deputies plan to
proceed to their various election districts
at the end of this week assemble their
constituents and protest against yester-
days alleged Illegal dissolution of parlia-
ment.
These meetings Will be prevented and
broken up by the government with the as
sistance of gendarmes. on the ground that
the crown cannot and will not tolerate
such criticism OF an act on its part which
II considers legal and constitutional.
1t Is interesting to note in this connec
tion that the supreme court of Hungary
this morning handed down a decision in
two cases dealing with contested elections
or deputies, TO the effect that yesterdays
dissolution of parliament was lawful. Fur
thermore. the government is determined to
dissolve by force, If necessary, all existing
political clubs as soon as such clubs en-
bark upon course which the government
considers reasonable.
II appears today as though the crown
had determined to terminate the right OF
free meeting. free press an even free
speech in hungary whenever such manifes-
tatious reflect on the legality of the crowns
action. AS proof of this it was ascertained
today from an excellent government source
that the crown is prepared to suppress
newspapers which conduct a propaganda
based on criticism of its actions yesterday.
The coalition party is not ignorant of the
crowns intentions, and its members are
discussing the necessity of holding secret
meetings. The party rather expects It's
newspapers to be suppressed.
The question of calling a new general
election has not yet been determined upon.
and VIII not be decided until the crown as
certalns what occurs In the country d.s-
tricts
The problem now confronting the coau-
flon party seems to be whether or not 1t
can persuade the people OF Hungary to sac
rlhce themselves 10 greater or less degree
for what the coalition declares TO be the
cause of the country at large.
The liberal party here recognizes yester-
days dissolution Of parliament as lawful.
The liberals will not attempt to proceed to
the house tomorrow with the intention OF
holding a meeting.

JAPAN AND PHILIPPINES.
Their Purchase is Advocated by Jap
anese Newspapers.

VICTORIA. B. c., February 2O.-Some
Japanese newspapers are advocating the
purchase of the Philippines from the United
States, according to advices received by the
steamer Athenian. The Yorodsu Hocho
says the Philippines have cost the United
States much money and no substantial ad-
vantages have been secured and that Japan
could meet with more success, as America
has failed because of racial differences be-
tween ruler and ruled and the long distance
which separates the government and the
islands Concluding the Yorodsu Hocho il
Illustrates Japanese success In Formosa.
The terrible distress prevailing in the
three famine stricken districts of north
Japan is exciting profound sympathy else
where in the empire, the former tendency
to refuse foreign aid having vanished in
view of the extreme need. Government aid
has been organized and relief work begun.
Later advces from the famine zone show
that hundreds of persons including women
and children, are perishing from starvation
aggravated by bitter cold.
