his revenge on Senator Kean. of New Jer-
Sey. Yesterday. In doing so. he passed

appalled, by the idea that a little park
should cost over $4,000. objected. with his
ever present smile Mr.. Scott, however.
didn't give "a fs for the smile: he wanted
the bin passed. Therefore, when Mr.
Kean moved an executive session. Mr..
Scott made a point OF no quorum. and
although the little silver bells rang fran
tieally. no quorum appeared. Mr.. Kean.
however. had no nominations he wanted
confirmed. so he did not stop smiling.
But yesterday Mr.. Kean was not in the
chamber when Mr. Scott again called up
the Meridian Hill park bill, and il went
through without trouble. II provides for
the purchase for park purposes of the

DE- ARMOND HAS SOLUTION

Money I'm the Country.

The suggestion was made in the House
OF Representatives yesterday by Repre-
sentative De Almond, OF Missouri, in con-
nectiOn with the discussion OF the de-
fense Of the Philippine Islands. that that
archipelago be devoted to the production
or noblemen, ~ho may marry American
heiresses. and thus keep the money under
the jurisdiction OF the United States.
Why not raise over in the Philippines.
Mr.. De Almond asked '-the necessary
quantity OF barons and dukes and counts
and other titled bipeds7 Now, there
would be a domestic industry against
which IL seems 20 me there ought to be
no objection" applause and laughter)
There would be no trouble IN negotiat-
ing with our homemade dukes nor in
determining what We should pay for the
privilege Of exporting such Of our daugh-
tiers as we desire % part with and to
accompany with right handsome dowry.
AS il is at the present time. there is
an export duty upon these American girls
sent 10 foreign parts. That seems 10 be
contrary 20 the provisions Of the Con-
situation: but what is the Constitution
when IL comes to getting a titled gentle
man into the family for a few hundred
thousand dollars2
Let Us get into the indrstry OF raising
noblemen in the Philippines. 1t has a
climate that I am sure will happily foster
the growth OF that kind Of product. We

Thrice on Friday Senator La Toilette
tried TO get the attention Of the Senate to

Vice President did not ask for an exer-
else OF the proverbiai Senatorial courtesy

doing so. with studied 'politeness he re-
ferred 10 his several Intellectual attempts

should have been considered. The resolu-
tiOn calls for the discharge of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee from consid-
Grafton OF Mr.. La Follettes bin TO enlarge

Toilette over the consideration OF this
bill, which provides for the valuation OF
the property OF every railroad by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as a
basis for fixing carrying rates.
