PATTERSON SAYS
DEMOCRATS ERR
fRv Associa,ea rress.,

WASHINGTON, February 5.-The SEN
ate was treated to distinct sensation
to-day by Mr.. Patterson Democrat,
Colorado). who followed up his retire.
ment Of last Saturday from the Demo-
cratic caucus by introducing In the SEN
ate a resolution In effect declaring the
action OF the caucus to have been con-
trary TO the Constitution of the United
States.
Apparently the senator's action was
unexpected on the part of majority
of senator's and they listened attentively
as the reading of the rather long pre-
ample progressed, evidently not a~Iittle
concerned as to what should come next.
Mr. Patterson made no effort to secure
the privilege of discussing the resolu-
ton to-day. but gave notice that he
would address the Senate upon 1t to-
morrow, or at the first available day
afterwards. 1t Is expected that the Dem
ocrats generally will resist the adoption
of the resolution and that the Republi-
can senator's will sustain Mr. Patter-
sons contentious. Aside from the per-
sonal interest in Mr.. Patterson's politi-
cal fortunes the resolution raises new
question to the rights of senator's
generally, so that there is much scope
for animated discussion and wiue mar
gin for difference of opinion. In all
probability several days will elapse be-
fore the question Is settled.
Mr.. Patterson's resolution recited that
the action of the Democratic caucus In
debating to senator's how they should vote
was a plain violation of the spirit and
intent of the Constitution of the United
States; that each senator was entitled
To one vote and any attempt TO coerce
him was an invasion Of the rights Of
State: that any senator who permits him
self TO he so coerced weakens and de-
grades his State: that for any senator
To vote otherwise than as his sense OF
duty dictates degrades his high office and
assaiIs the dignity and standing OF the
Senate
Mr.. Lodge had prepared resolution
similar to that of Senator Patterson,
declaring that treaty like the Domin-
team Should not De made the subject OF
party action. hut withheld It when he
heard that Mr. Patterson had proposed
a resolution This he heard from the lips
OF the Colorado senator. who claimed
the privness- of presenting the matter:
Mr. Lodge aoaceiea the superiority OF
--r. Patterson's claim.
Mr.. Tillman objected to the present
consideration of the Patterson resolu-
ton unless ii was a question of personal
privilege Mr. Patterson said 1t was not
and gave notice that ne would discuss
the resolution tomorrow.
Before Mr.. Patterson's matter came mp.
Mr.. Bacon had given notice OF q spe"ch
for tomorrow, so that IL Is probable
that Mr.. Patterson's speech will be post
poued until Wednesday.
Mr. Gallinger succeeded during the
day in securing the fixing Of a date for
voting on the shipping bill the hour
named being Wednesday, the 14th. in
stant, AT : r. NJ.
Several bills were passed during the
day and Mr. Teller made speech in
opposition to the shipping bill.
Mr.. Foraker announced that he had no
intention Of attempting to delay action
on the statehood bill.
The Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

bill.
Mr.. Littlefed said he would demon-
strate the incapacity of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and from their
own records. and" he added ~ will
talked of so much and see so little prac-
ticed." The commission had been over
ruled two-thirds OF the time, he said.
The bill provided several commissioners
and made four quorum and 1t was
possible for the President to remove
three and leave all the power In the
majority Of the remaining four. 1t would
be then that this dangerous power would
rise up and curse its makers.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Of Ohio. ridiculed the
alleged popular demand for the legisla-
ton. picked flaws in the construction
OF the bill. complained because no
amendments were to be allowed, and
concluded with the statement that he
should do his best to get the bill out OF
the House at the earliest possible mo-
ment, which was taken to mean that he
would vote for It,
Mr.. Stevens CNIinnesota) took issue with
Mr.. Littlefields assertion that the courts
could only review rate when 1t was
confiscatory. The bill, he said. abridged
no rights of railroads to get into courts.
Democratic Measure.
Mr.. Lamar tFloridao announced he
should support the bill cheerfully.
William j. Bryan and William r..
Hearst were back of the bill and 1t had
been wrung from the minority. He re-
gretted the Democratic party had not
at the last session put 1t up to the Re-
publican party" to vote against bill as
strong as the present measure. II 1t
had been done the burial of Judge Parker
under two and half million votes would
not be circumstance to the burial of the
Republicans at the next election. at is
wrung from you by your fears, he said.
Ts1e-sbilI ought to have three amend
merits, In the opinion of Mr.. Lamar. II
should include control of freight classi-
ficatfon. the commission should pass on
the 'reasona hleness Of rate before it was
put into effect by the railroads, and the
roads should be compelled to furnish
adequate facilities to meet the demand OF
shippers. At the proper time he should
OFFER these amendments.
An anti-pass amendment was advocated
by Mr. Gaines CTennessee). He never
rides on pass himself. and would pro-
vide penalty of 1900 against persons
accepting passes. Passes. ne said. made
passenger rates higher for the masses.
and were a species of corruption.
Mr. Hardwlck tGeorgia) justified the
Legislation as meeting the demand of
shippers, and then reviewed its history
to show 1t was essentially Democratic
in inception.
Messrs Pou tNorth carolina) and Tn

in advocacy of the bill.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Wheat = Ruled
stronger although the volume Of trade
was not large The news was bulltsh
in the extreme. but as usual the trade
is so narrow and professional that buy
ing orders were lacking consequently
prices did not advance much. 1t was
reported that the Russian spring wheat
crop showed a large decrease in the
yield, something over a hundred million
bushels. The visible supply in this
country increased over two million
which induced quite little selling near
the close. The market closed steady to
firm.
CORN - Weak early, later turned
strong in the sympathy with other mar
kets. The car shortage, it is said, is
preventing the increase in receipts
which has been predicted SO frequently.
Cash demand fair, $500 bushels sold to
exporters Corn in the sample mar
ket unchanged from yesterday. The
market closed firm with slight adj
vance for the day.
OATS-Shorts in the May option were
liberal buyers, as a result this cereal
ruled strong and higher, scoring fair
advance for the day. Cash demand
continues excellent offerings from
farmers small Indications point to still
higher values before any material de-
cline

MEANINGS OF WORD CALDER.
Either the Diameter of Gun or Its
Length Divided by Diameter.

There is surely no word in the nom
enclature of guns, big and little. which
has caused. and is causing. so much
confusion in the lay mind as the word
caliber.
The confusion arises chiefly from
the use of the term in an adjectival
sense to indicate length, as when we
say a 50-caliber. 6-inch gun.
The word caliber as applied to artil-
lery signifies essentially and at all
times the diameter of the bore of a
gun A gun, then, of six-inch caliber
is a gun whose bore is just six inches.
For convenience, and because the
power Of a gun. when once its bore
has been decided upon, depends so
greatly upon its length, artillerists are
in the habit Of defining the length Of
the gun in terms of the cahber.
The six-inch rapid-flre gun. as
mounted on the latest ships of the
navy. is a trife under rs feet in
length. and is. therefore. known as a
50-caliber gun.
In the case of small arms. the cali.
Der is expressed in hundredths OF an
inch, as when we say a 22-caliber or
32-caliber pistol. meaning that the
bore IS % or 80 Of an inch in diane
ter.-Scientific American.

cHINAMAN NEEDED THE RICE.
Sing Had Found a Whole Tribe Of HIs
Lost Cousins.

A Chinese cook in one of the homes
across the bay from San Francisco
was terribly worried about his cousins
who were in the burning town. Sing
knew. that Chinatown had been de-
stroyed. He had tried to go across to
rescue his relatives, but nobody was
allowed TO land.
He went about his duties with lag.
ging footsteps and mournful face. For
two days he ate nothing, and the
sympathy Of the entire family was ex4
tended to him in his trouble At last
he appeared one morning at breakfast
time with a face wreathed in smiles.
Me found cousins" he announced
joyfully.
On being questioned he said that
they were lodged in the two rooms
which he rented for his own use in
the lower part of the town. They
were all well and he was "velly hap
py." He took 40 pounds of rice to-
them that they might not be hungry.
But, Sing, how many cousins have
you? Forty pounds seems a great
deal"
He smiled his charming oriental
smile and spread his hands, Me
so cousins. Exchange.
