House sumary.

Washington. March 2.--The House de- voted most of it's time today to con. siderfng Senate amendments to the sundry civil and agricultural appropri- ation bills. The Senate amendments to the sundry civil blll directing the De- partments of Commerce and Labor to trial conditions of women and child lac Dor: relating to further examination of black sands; appropriating $125,000 for the transportation of silver dollars were disagreed to and further confer- ence ordered. The Senate anendmnts increasing the amount appropriated for fuel tests: directing the Director of the Geological Survey to make an ex- animation of the fuel resources of the United States and to publish tho same for the benefit of the public were con- cured in.
 When the House took up the agricul- tural bill. two important items were in dispute, the Senate amendments relat- ing to the White Mountain and Appa- lachian forest reserves, and the endow- ment for agricultural colleges. Both the amendments excited long and inter esting debates but in both cases the House receded from its disagreement and concurred, thereby making the fur Aher work of the conference exceeding ly easy. At 6;30 o'clock the House took a recess until s:30 o'clock.

Mcdonald Thinks TranscontinentaI
 Railways Defeated OIiyer's Bid.
 Augusta, Ga, March 2.--We are down and out. said J. B. Mcdonald. Presi- pany in discussing the rejection of the bid of ". !. Oliver for the construction Of the Panama Canal.
 They have taken the matter entirely out of our hands. and 1t now rests with the President. The responsibility should be placed where 1t belongs. cannot see why our bid should have been rejected. except that 1t be due to the far-reaching rnachinations of the combinations of influences that have worked against the bid of w. J., oli- yer and all bids that threaten actual construction of the big canal.
 Mir. Macdonald intimated that these interests are those of the allied trans continental railways.
 Tt is generally recognized that this agency has been at work to defeat the consummation of the project long be- fore 1t ever took tangible shape. You will notice that one by one the practi- cal men who have been identified with the canal project have been picked off by big financial interests. It is not difficult to trace the relation. This Is very poor business, however, for the canal is bound to come .~if not during
  other. It is inevitable.
 T cannot see where the President and his associates are right and do not see how they will be able to dig the canal. Sooner or later the ditch will have to be dug under the busl- ness-like management of the contrac- tor, who has figured the cost down to a minimum. Our company was willing to perform every item of the agreement required by the Government. It was our understanding that when the con ditions imposed by the Government were met. the contract went to our company. We had made every .prepa- ration at considerable expense and were prepared to begin shoveling dirt on or bofere the time limit of sixty days"
 Mir. Mcdonald does not believe that there is anything in the report that ". 4 J. Oliver will enter suit against the Government for the preliminary ex- pense of $40,0Oe incurred in making ' the bid.
 T am certainly not going to Wash ington to confer with him farther jn { the matter. He said our company will be dissolved as rapidly as possible, and that will end the matter. have not heard a word from Mir. Oliver since the S rejection of the bids"

 Much has been said about yellow Journalism in connection with this trial. 1t has been proposed to exclude from the mails those newspapers which publish the details of this case. But what about the district attorney? Is any newspaper in the land as vel publishing In full and unexurgated the cross examination by Mir, Jerome might make Itself amenable to the law Many of the questions he asked and the answer he extorted were so shameless and indecent and so unnec- essary as to be unit for publication and The Sun carefully suppressed them. And yet the examination was conduc- ted In the open court before miscel- laneous audience, including women, un- til, indeed, even those women who were employed in the court room were put to flight by the indecency of the xehibi- ton.

rescntations" and the literary societies.
 These were paliny days for literary people. Just at present, let me confess to you. they are going out of style just a trifie.
 There were waves of editorial con- ment which stirred the nation" Peo- pie actually read editorials in those days and to be an "editor''--mercy up- on us. That was akin to godliness!
 Women ioked up to their husbands and wondered at their mighty achieve ments. "Business" began, and, as no woman of that age had head for 1t, fl seemed correspondingly wonderful to them all. As for the stock exchange 1t was mighty near black magic as far as they were concerned.
 Women raised large families, em- broidered a great deal and read and committed to memory large quantities of sentimental poetry. For light eve nings recreation they would go to see Hamlet and think they were tre- mendousIy, dissipated.
 One woman told me--por. dear soul-- that for four years, while her two first children were young, she only went out of an evening once and that was to see Macbeth" with some great actress in the title roiel
 | days there were musical shows in their infancy but considered very devillsh l dare say they would make us yawn our heads off now. The husbands usually went to these alone or in punches and kept the fact dark.
 Most of the women belonging to that era can quote poetry by the yard. How many of your acuualntances can do that now, although most of them can probably play bridge and originate fancy figures for the cotiliiong
 Joiner times, other manners" There is more fun in life for woman now than there ever was, and can you blame her for wanting to have her share ot 1t?
 Housekeeping and cooking may have been all engfossing toN our grandmoth- CTS but we can think of something more thrilling than making jellies, and we had rather be out in the open skat- ing, playing golf and hockey or riding horseback than embroidering In q close room.
