one Of them will develop the genius OF
the founder Of his line, and instead OF
'squandering millions will accumulate
tens of millions; instead of living in
useless luxury on his income will prove
himself a force in the Industrial and

Bill for Cattle Shipping.

Washington, March a. The house
committee on interstate commerce to-
day favorably reported a substitute for
Representative French's 36-hour live
stock bill. The committee bill confers
absolute power on the secretary OF ag-
ricalture to regulate stock shipments,
permitting him to extend or shorten
the periods as he may deem proper.
Under this bill, the secretary could
continue to enforce the present 2s-hour
law, he could permit shipments for
longer periods. or require unloading
every eight hours, as demanded by some.

tuesday. March 81.

Washington, March 81. - Tillman
and McCumber divided the time Of the
senate today. the North Dakota sem
ator devoting himself to the railroad
rate question exclusively and the South
Carolina senator discussing various
questions. Tillman made a special in
quiry concerning the status of his reso-
luton relative to the use of national
bank funds in politics, and incidentally
spoke of District Attorney Jerome's
recent utterancee and of Judge Humph-
rey's decision in the beef trust cases,
declaring in the latter matter that the
decision against the attorney general
had merely reaped what he had sown
III the case of ex-Secretary Paul Nor
ton.
Foraker defended Judge Humphrey
and Tillman declared that he had not
meant to attack the judge. but the law.
McCumber picked innumerable flaws /
the rate bill, predicting that, il en-
acted into law, it would fail entirely
to meet the demands of the public.
He said, however, he would vote for
the bill if properly amended.

and Dress of "A ByEone Era.
There are few things more cruel than
ridicule can be, and few wrongs to
friendship greater than to hold up to
mockery behind his back the weak
nesses Of a friend. But there Is
tender laughter with neither mockery
nor malice in 1t, but rather of the very
fiber of affection, which may be evoked
by the foibles of even those whom we
most love and honor.

England very aged woman, a teacher

institutions for the education Of wo-
men, who in her later years afforded a
lesson In the right way to laugh. Laugh

She wore the clothes Of a bygone era

thought its thoughts, seriously dis
trusting the most innocent innovations,
and cultivated the most curious little
'by-products OF the virtues" as the
termed them, which were at once the
delight and the despair of her friends
She had been taught, for instance
that waste was a sin. Consequently
she would throw nothing away, and her
premises were burdened with the most
preposterous accumulations of rubbish

Wednesday, March %.

Washington, March 28.-Knox made
his first set speech in the senate today.
He spoke on the railroad rate question,
and dealt almost exclusively with the
legal features of the problem. When
he concluded the senate entered upon
the consideration Of the conference re-
port on the bill regarding the final dis
position of the affairs OF the five civil
lied tribes of Indians and much objec-
ton was expressed to many Of the
changes. Several senators, including
La Toilette, Clark, Of Wyoming, and
Tillman, expressed disapproval Of the
conference provision authorizing the
secretary OF the interior to lease land.
Washington, March 28.-The presi-
dent today transmitted to the house the
report of Assistant Secretary of State
Herbert H. d. PIERCE, regarding the
consular service in the Orient.
The visit OF Mr.. Peirce included
many cities, but his severe criticism is
reserved for ex-Consul General McWade
at Canton, and Consul Williams at
Singapore. The charges against Nc
Wade, ex-consul at Canton, are drunk
enness, employment of felon, issu-
ance of fraudulent Chinese certificates,
extending protection to Cinnamon uhc
claim to be American citizens, persecu-
ton of American citizens for purposes
of revenge, and corruption in office.
The charges against Goodnow are 81
in number, some serious and some
light. Some are sofficient to support
suits at law and give evidence Of cor
ruption in Office. The opinion OF tbs
better element was unfavorable to him
in Shanghai.

Washington, April 2.-The amend
ment to the house railroad rate bill
agreed to at the White house Saturday
by friends Of the bill, providing for a
limited review of orders of the Inter-
state Commerce commission, was offer
ed in the senate today by Long, of
Kansas, but he was not able to get the
floor to make his speech. The princi-
pal speech was made by Fulton, of Ore
gon, who spoke for the bill. 1t was a
legal argument bearing upon the con-
stitutional questions involved, and in
terruptions were 80 frequent that the
speech amounted to debate on law
points, where the speaker divided time
with the majority of the lawyers Of
the senate. Nelson, of Minnesota, and
Hepburn, Of Idaho, made brief speech
es on the bill.
Washington, April 2.-Chief among
the measures passed by the house today
was the so-called personal liability
bill, which has been favored by the
army OF railway employees throughout
the country, and which practically had
a unanimous report from the commit
tee. Members of the house showed
great interest in the measure, and, had
division been called for, the bill
would have had an almost unanimous
vote. Another measure changing exist
ing law. which excited a filibustering
opposition, was the bill permitting the
fortifcation of sweet wines and levy
ing a tax of 3 cents q gallon on al
wines thus fortified. A number of bill
were passed under suspension of thu
rules.
The personal liability bill make
each party responsible for its own neg
igence. 1t also renders void any con
tract intended to restrict the liabilit,
of the employer for the negligence o
employees.
