Washington, March 6.-The question
of the enlargement Of the medical de.
partmenr of the army occupied the ma
jor portion of the time of the senate
today. The question arose in connec-
ton with the consideration of bill for
the displacement of contract surgeons by
physicians who shall be given the rank
of army officers in the reorganization of
the medical corps. Hale criticized the
bill as an entering wedge for an in
crease of the army, and as part Of a
general plan of the general staff, which
he charged with purpose to increase
the army's Importance, In his remarks
the senaotr said the general staff was
disposed to encourage an invasion Of
China. Garter and Ga)linger spoke in
somewhat the same vein of objection,
while the bill was defended by Warren,
Black burn and other senator's. The bill
was not disposed Of.

Why We Say "Hello."

Long long ago wolves were numer
GUS in all parts of the world. especially
In England. Wolf hunting was a favor
ite sport with the gentry, and to Kill
wolves was regarded as the sacred
duty Of all Englishmen. In fact. an old
law reads: "All barons must hunt and
chase wolf four times a year
French was the language Of the court
at that time. so the burly old English
hunters used the cry Of the French
wolf hunters, which was "Au loup. An
loup!" ("To the wolf.") These words
heard at a distance. sounded like "A
loo," but the English, who always pu,
an n on wherever they possibly can
put 1t on the words "A loo" and when
wolf hunting shouted "Ha-loo." This
form we use when We call Hello" al

One day little Tom played with his
ball in the parlor while his mother was
out, and he broke pretty vase. When
his mother came home she asked Tom
how he came to break the vase Tom
explained to her exactly how he had
broken it and said that he was very
sorry. His mother said that she would
forgive him this time, and he promised
that he would not disobey her again.
The next day Tom, who had been
thinking all the day before how to re-
place the vase, thought Of plan. He
nut on his hat and coat and started to
the grocery shop.

said.

Thursday, March 8.

Washington, March 8. - Today af-
forded the last opportunity for general
debate on the statehood bill, and the
session was devoted to that order OF
business. Starting with a speech by
McCumber, which began few minutes
after II o'clock, there was no cessation
in the speaking until adjournment.
The whole time was occupied by three
senators, Beveridge, McCumber and
Patterson, the former supporting and
the latter two opposing it. Beveridge
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 the ground against the Foraker
amendment, which allows each terri
tory to vote separately on the question
of jointure. McCumber opposed even
the joining of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and Patterson held that Ari-
zons and New Mexico should be ad-
mitted as separate states.
The senate will begin voting on the
amendments to tho bill at p. m. to-
morrow, and the final vote will be
taken before adjournment for the day.
Beveridge will have the hour between
ii and IL O'Clock in which to conclude
his speech.
Washington, March s. - The house
today passed the Indian appropriation
bill and then proceeded to tangle itself
up over the bill to abolish the grade OF
lieutenant general in the army. The
result was an adjournment for lack OF a
quorum after members had been locked
in the hall for halt an hour and the
sergeant. at arms had been scurrying to
the various hotels in search of mem
bers. The vote to consider the bill
showed an overwhelming sentiment in
its favor, and, as it lie the pending bnsi-
ness under call of committee, it will
probably be reached and passed in due
course.

 the time being 4 to 4. The game should have been Staffords, but Foster in the seventh inning called Sears safe at the home plate. when he was caught good distance away. The play was so certain that both scorers
 had the put-out marked down, and it was a great surprise when Foster call ed the runner safe. But for the un-
 just decision the game would have gone to Stafford to 3. Stafford play ed an errorless game and scored first in the third inning. Graham made two baser. Barker reached first on & grounder by an error by the second baseman, and Graham scored. Waite sacrificed. Scanlon was out on fly to second. Barker was caught at third.
