FROM WASHINGTON.
Senator Hale to the Fore Session
Nearing the Enid Busy Days.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May II especially
The grand old New Highlander of the Sen
ate has his coat off these days-oniy meta
phorically, however-and is making people
stand around. The closing days are
coming. There is no longer much time
for sitting in the comfortable rockers of
his corner room and discussing what
shall be done and how it shall be done.
That has all been determined upon. The
| senators who are colleagues in directing
affairs, have long ago descended from the
conferences in his corner, and understand
what ought to be done to go ahead. And
| quietly, but effectively, they are going
| ahead.
Senator Hale has so often weathered the
rush period at the close of a session of
Congress that its approach does not make
| his blood run whit faster. His actions
never betray how busy he is. He works
by the same cool, precise methods. He
steps into the corner elevator, reserved
for senators and justices OF the supreme
court, and walks along the corridor to the
big appropriations room nowadays at ex-
actly the same gait, as when the session is
young, and as when there were many days
and weeks of weary debating ahead.
But he has most of his work planned
out. He and Senator Allison have talked
! things over. They have reviewed the list
OF appropriation bills, not acted upon,
discussed the conference reports that have
been made up and that remain to be made
up, mentioned some of the differences
that must be fought out, gained an idea
OF about how large total Of money has
been voted, and how much more Congress
can afford to vote. Then they proceed to
complete the cutting of the garment so
that it will fit the cloth.
No one was speaking about it out loud,
but Senators Allison and Hale had their
appropriation committee working Sun
day an unusual thing, except when it
becomes imperative for the business of
Congress to be rounded out. The Senate
had to kill time for a couple OF weeks
while the House de bated the sundry civil
appropriation bill.
Saturday the Senate received that largest
of all supply budgets, carrying many
scores of millions of appropriations, and
it lost no time disposing of it in COM
mittee. For the Senate was waiting and a
day was day, whether it was Sunday or
not. There are almost 500 legislators in
Senate and House waiting for business to
be disposed of, and they did not want
fourteen senators of the appropriation
committee to keep them waiting minute.

The able-bodled men of the village
were at work, the children were at
school singing the multiplication table
lullaby, while the wives and mothers
at home nursed the baby with one
hand and did the housework with the
other. At the end of the village an
old man past work sat at a rough deal
table under the creaking signboard Of
the Cauliflower, gratefully drinking
from mug Of ale supplied by a
chance traveller who sat opposite him.
1T amt what it was when I was a
boy" quavered the old man, filling his
pipe with trembling fingers. Il mind
when the grindstone was stuck just
outside the winder o. the forge instead
o. being one side as 1t now is; and as
for the shop winder--it's twice the
size 1t was when l was young 'un."
He lit his pipe with the scientific
accuracy of smoker of 60 years
standing, and shook his head solemn
ly as he regarded his altered birth
place. Then his color heightened and
his dim eye flashed.
IT'S the people about ere as
changed more than the place as" he
said, with sudden fierceness; there's
set o. men about here nowadays as
are no good to anybody; reg'lar ras-
kels.
But the artfullest and worst man
in this place-and that's saying a good
deal, mind you-,s Bob Pretty. Deep
is no word for i'm. There's no way of
> being up to i'm. It's through i'm that
we lost our flower show; and, IL you'd
like to ear the rights o. that, l don't
suppose there's anybody in this place
as knows as much about it as I do
barring Bob hisself that is, but e
wouldn't tell it to you as plain as
I can.
1T was started just after we got our
new parson, and Mrs. Pawlett, the par
sons wife, is name being Pawlett,
thought as she'd encourage men to
love their 'omes and be better us
bands by giving prize every year for
best cottage garden. Three pounds
was the prize, and a metal teapot
with writing on it.
"Of course some of 'em used to
make fun of it, and Bob Pretty was the
worst of 'em all. He was always a
lazy, good-for-nothing man, and his
garden was a disgrace. He'd chuck
down any rubbish in It; old bones,
old tins, bits of an. old bucket, any
thing to make 1t untidy.
1T was the day after this one I'm
speaking about, the 16the O. June, that
the trouble all began, and it came
about in very eggstrordinary way.
George English, quiet man getting
into years, who used when e was
younger to foller the sea, and whose
only misfortin was that e was q

been in this very village, staying at
this ere very Caulifower, whose beer
we're drinking now. In the night,
when everybody was asleep, he got up
and went quiet like and buried a bag
of 517 sovereigns and one half-sov-
creign in one of the cottage gardens
till g could come for It again.
"'And wot I'm to do about 1t, BILL
he ses, I don't know. All the direc-
tions he gives is, that e thinks 1t was
the tenth cottage on the right-'and
side of the road coming down from
the Cauliflower. He thinks it's the
tenth, but 'e's not quite sure. Do you
think I'd better make 1t known and
offer reward of ten shillings, say,
to any one who finds it?"
mo ses Bill, shaking is 'ead.
"Bill swore he wouldn't tell a soul,
and e went off 'ome and 'ad his sup
per, and then q walked up the road
to the Caulifower and back, and then
up and back again, thinking over what
George 'ad been telling i'm, and
noticing, what @ d never taken the
trouble to notice before, that is very
house was the tenth one from the
Caulifower.
Mrs. Chambers woke up at two
o'clock next morning and told Bill to

brother-in-law o. Bob Pretty's, his
, sister marrying Bob while e was at
sea and knowing nothing about 1t, 'ad
a letter come from mate of his who
'ad gone to Australia to live. He'd
'ad letters from Australia before, as
we all knew from Miss Wicks at the
postoffice, but this one upset him al
together. He didn't seem like to know
what to do about 1t.
while he was wondering Bill
Chambers passed. He always did pass
Georges 'ouse about that time In the
evening, 1t being on is way 'ome, and
he saw George standing at is gate
with letter in is and looking very
puzzled.
"'Not bad news, 'ope?' ses Bill,
noticing is manner, and thinking It
was strange.
ut was more like a story-book than
O letter. Georges mate, John Bigga
by name. wrote to say that an uncle
OF his who had Just died. ON is death
bed told him that 80 years ago he 'ad

get up further, and then found 'e
prised at first, but she didn't think
much of it, and thought, what hap
pened to be true, that e was busy in
the garden, it being light night. She
turned over and went to sleep again,
and at five when she woke up she
could distinctly ear Bill working is
'ardest. Then she went to the winder.
"Bill stood up straight and wiped
is face with his shirt sleeve and
started digging again, and then his
wife just put something on and rushed
downstairs as fast as she could go.
"'Have you gone mad?' she ses,
half crying.
BILL just stopped to throw a lump
of mould at her, and then went on
digging till Henery Walker, who also
thought e 'ad gone mad, and didn't
want to stop i'm too soon, put is cad
over the edge and asked i'm the
same thing.
"'Ask no questions and you'll ear
no lies,' ses Bill
by tea time Bill was dead beat, and
that stiff he could 'ardly raise lis bread
and butter to his mouth.
"Afore people 'ad done talking about
Bill, I'm blest if Peter Smith didn't
go and cultivate is garden in exactly
the same way. The parson and is
wife was away on their 'oliday, and
nobody could say a word.
when Joe Gubbins started digging
up is garden people began to think
they were all bewitched, and I went
round to see Henery Walker to tell
i'm wot fine chance ed got, and to
remind i'm that I'd put another nine
pence on i'm the night before. All 'e
said was: More fool you,' and went
on digging a ole in his garden big
enough to put a 'ouse in.
in fortnight's time there wasn't
a garden worth looking at in the
place, and it was quite clear there'd
be no flower show that year, and Of
all the silly, bad-tempered men in the
place them as 'ad dug up their pretty
gardens was the wust.
"It was just few days before the
was walking up the road when 1 see
Joe and Henery Walker and one or
two more leaning over Bob Pretty's
fence and talking to i'm.
"'Going in for the flower show,
Bob? ses Henery, with wink at us.

THE INsoLENCE OF VENEZUELA.

The Venezuelan gOTerImen- has
again declined to submit 10 arbi;ra-
ton the claims Of American citizens
against citizens of that country The
refusal is final, because i is in 'e-
Spouse to a categorical submission Of
the several claims by The United
States government. The previous re-
fusal to arbitrate was made as TO all
questions en- bloc.
What further steps tie United
States government may take is not
clear; what this government should
do, however, seems to be reasonably
clear. The American government can
not honorably continue its friendly
diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
1t ought to break these relations, and
break them now.
The whole attitude of President
Castro towards the United States gov
eminent has been unbearably inso-
lent. A mere parvenue, swept into
Office as a result of his own bloody
cunning, he has no conception of the
decencies which should mark the in
tercourse of states. His chief policy
is now, and has been from the be-
ginning of his tenure to plumber
aliens, and to imprison them if they
protest against his policies.
Castro should be taught a lesson.
No man at the head of state On
this continent needs more to be
taught the rules of decent conduct,
and until he shall have learned these
rules, the United States should break
all connection with Caracas.-P-I

COMMITTED TO HOSPITAL
Daniel FELTON, Suddenly Becomes
Violently Insane.
From Mondays Da

Daniel FELTON,, a well known young
man of the town, was examined as to
mis- sanity last evening and ordered
committed to the insane hospital at
st. Peter. Chief Osten, Officer Sim
monds and Walter Laird took him
over in an automobile. Felton's attack
began a week ago and has been grow
ing worse, and for the past three
days it was necessary to hold him
at times. He was so bad yesterday
that it was necessary to take care
of him, and there is no suitable place
for keeping the violently insane in
this city, so the examination was held
1t took four men to hold MIN at
one time yesterday.
FELTON, is thirty one years old, and
a laborer. He has had short attacks

lepsy. Since his present and worst
attack has begun he thinks that he
is in love and does considerable pray
ing, and threatens to commit suicide
by shooting. His friends hope that a
course of treatment will bring him out
all right.

leave the hospital this morning, but
will not have the use of his arm
for some time. Mr.. Ref states that
he was near the Clifton house barn
with his team and a load of fancy
priced eggs when o. e. Troener's n, ;.
away team came dashing in and -,
toward his rig, endangering \ "a
his eggs. He headed off IS run

and took the lines. Il. Morrow al
so got in and suggested that he drive
back to Front street, and he did So,
turning down Jackson street. The
horses were excited and started to run
again and Mr. Morrow helped him pull
on the reins, and as both are muscular
men something had to give, and it
was the bridal of the worst horse. This
made it impossible to hold the team
and Mr.. Morrow dropped out. Mr..
Ref stayed in to guide the horses
past Front street, which was crowded
so as to avoid accident and then
jumped out by Richards store and sus-
tanned his injury. He feels that he
saved Mr. Troener from greater loss
and may ask him to recompense him
for his expense and time lost.
