WAR ON TRAILING SKIRTS.
League Against the Trailing Skirt
Has Been Organized.

A pretty war of skirts is being
fought out in small German town,
where a League Against the Trail
ing Skirt has been formed, with the
support of the mayor, who has even
gone so far as to regulate in an edict
the length of the offending garment.
1t is this last piece of municipal tyr
amy that has aroused the long suf-
fering woman of fashion, and she has
formed a counter Union of the Liber-
ty of Dress" So far It seems that the
league is in the ascendant, for it has
just dined the mayor triumphantly,
while the union, scorning such CASTRO
homic methods of bribery, is trusting
to greater elegance of appearance for
the Precipitation of the masculine auth
critics.

was devoted to that order of bust
ness. Starting with a speech by Mr..
McCumber. which began a few min
utes after IL O'Clock, there was no
cessation in the speaking until the
late in the evening. The
whole time was occupied by three SEN
ators, Mr.. Beveridge supporting the
bill and Messrs. McCumber and Pat
terson opposing it. The Indiana sena-
tor contended that while Arizona and
New Mexico were unprepared for sep.
arate statehood it was unjust to keep
them out of the union as one state.'
He took positive ground against tho
Foraker amendment which allows
each territory to vote separately on
the question of jointure. Mr.. McCum-,
Der opposed the joining of even Ok
1ahoma and Indian Territory and Mr..
Patterson held that Arizona and New
Mexico should be admitted as sepa-
rate states.
The house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries decided to re-
cry bill, including all the proposed
government hatcheries heretofore
agreed upon as presented in separate
bills and involving an aggregate cost
of about 100000.
The bill authorizes the secretary of
commerce and labor to select sites
where the location is not designated
and makes appropriations as follows:
Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ida
no, Utah, $4,000 each.
Friday, March g.
Washington.-The house passed the
Indian appropriation bill, carrying
s7,7S5,52S. 1t then proceeded to tangle
itself up over the bill to abolish the
grade of lieutenant general in the
army. The vote to consider the bill
showed an overwhelming sentiment
in it's favor and as it is the pending
business under call of the committee
it will probably be reached and pass
ed in it's course.
There were only few verbal and
minor amendments made to the In
dian bill Mr.. Crumpacker acted as
five minute rule, making many points
of rule to various paragraphs.
After the passage of the Indian bill
considerable time was taken up on
a bill establishing additional court
towns in the Indian Territory which
finally was withdrawn. When the
military committee was reached in the
call, Mr. Prince Qll) called up his
bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant
general in the army. A quorum not
being present, the doors were closed
against the departure of members, the
sergeant at arms was directed to brin
sergeant at arms was directed to bring
in absentees and the roll was called
on the question of considering the
bill. This vote resulted in los yeas
and SO nays, with Is answering pres
ent. lacking 80 of a quorum.
Mr.. Payne, on inquiring and being
informed that should the house ad-
journ the bill would not loose its place
in the order of business, moved to ad
journ. The motion was carried.
An appropriation bill carrying
$191 ,35S,S4S for the postal service was
finally agreed on in the house com
mittee on postoffices and post roads
and will be reported to the house in
about ten days. Two important law
provisions are carried in the measure
one forbidding the government de
partments franking anything through
the mail which an individual cannot

other prevents committees, organiza
tions or associations of citizens enjoy
