Senate at Night Session Rec

Some Mystery Surrounds
The Senate'S Action.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Three impor-
tant and surprising actions were taken
by the United States Senate last night
at it's first night session.
An amendment of the naval bill was
agreed to, providing that. in the dis
erection of the President one half Of the
United States navy should be kept on
the Pacific coast at all times, in the
opinion of the Senate. The President
has already divided the fleet, but the
amendment amounts to an expression
of Congress in favor Of such action.
The second action was the amend
ment of the bill for two battleships, so
that two of 21.O0O tons burden each
instead Of 10000 tons, shall be pro-
vided, and reduction of the cost OF the
new ships to S4,5OO,COO each, exclusive
of armor and armament, instead of$6..
100000. Mr.. Clapp offered an amend
ment which was adopted, making the
type of the ships built similar to the
Utah and Florida. the two 21.OOO-ton
Dreadnoughts now being constructed
and limiting their cost.
Jumped the Powder Trust.
The third action taken tonight was
agreement to the provision that nc
part of the appropriation for powder
in the naval bill should be paid to any
trust or combination in restraint OF
trade, or to any corporation having {
monopoly in the manufacture or sup
ply Of gunpowder in the event of war
The provision at first read, in the
event of an emergency" but this was
changed before the provision wa:
agreed to.
There was little or no talk on these
matters when they came before thu
Senate and the motive which prompted
action is not known outside the Senate
In the case of dividing the fleet, Mr.
Flint said he understood that the peo
pie of the Atlantic Coast did not car,
for the fleet and the people on thu
Pacific did.
Would half the fleet on the Pacific
Coast keep the Japanese out of Cali
fornia?" asked Senator Nelson.
Il think So" replied Mr.. Flint. Urg

CHAPTER XIII.

AUTUMN, chilly and wet, had
brought sojourners in the
country early to town, among
them Mrs. Harris and her
daughters. Mrs. Harris had requisi-
toned Jimsy Smiths services before
she descended from the mountains

genial way, saw them installed in their
home, dined with them. as per Mrs.
Harris schedule-and, although the
winter was well advanced, had never
been there since, except to make a
brief call at Christmas.
At each of these visits Emma haG
thrilled at sight of him and at the
sound of his voice. 1t was with tim1d-
ity that she had extended her hand to
him, but neither by pressure Of his
clasp nor by any sign Of manner, ex-
preston or intonation had he given
indication Of remembrance that their
secret was known to each other. He

Emma appeared to be absolutely in
different to the turn the conversation
had taken. though in truth she was
listening greedily to Williams enco-
miums. ~
"D' you know" went on the captain,
''I've often thought that a man like
Smith would be just the right kind Of
a husband for Emma"
Like Jimsy?" Mrs. Harris laughed
She did not know whether he was
joking or not, but thought he was.
This time a sudden flush dyed En-
mas cheeks and deepened over her
face to the very ears. No one noticed

He rushed out bounded down the
stairs, and the front door slammed
violently.
Smith lighted cigar, solace and
sedative of the wrought up man. and
ruminated sadly for awhile. He
thought Of Emma, Of the worthless
husband to whom she was tied and
Of the false position all round in which
he found himself as the result Of his'
peacemaking effort
All. God. how he loved her!
With a weary sigh he fetched out
plans and figures and began to work

turmoil of his thoughts. and work, that
'pledge Of cheerful days and nights

cotic for the perturbation Of his spirit,
absorbed him until .i,>u nature CON-
ing to it's support did tine rest.
While Jimsy snith worked that h
might forge, Brooks. t..lr heat Of his
anger cooled, sat down in his lonely
rOOK to consider the unexpected
change IN the situation. The failure
Of his plans was a blow to him, but
this time the pricling Of the bubble Of
his optimism, which had scared 50
high, instead of plunging him immedi-
ately into the gloomiest despondency,
found it's contrast in bitter resentment
against both his wife and Smith.
He cursed Smith for a fool and a
blunderer. At least he Gid not believe
the accusations he had hurled at him
in his rage and disappointment. He
had never considered him in any other
light than that of a good natured, old
womanish friend of the family, who
did anything for anybody and with
whom anybody could take liberties.
He could see nothing in him calculated
to inspire any woman with more than
ordinar' liking and indulgent tolera-
ton, not to speak of Emma, and he
never Lad had the slightest scruple in
leaving them together.

but when he was leaning forward with
his hands between his knees, as he
was then, his bushy eyebrows bent in
thought, it was impossible to tell where
he was looking.

what you say may be all true, but

and without it-what? Here's Emma,
