Entire Day Devoted to Con.idera.
ton Of Administrative Feat
ures Of Bill
AMENDMENTS BY Sen. M'cuMBER
Yeb-Provision Deferred by
Republican Members.

Washington, D. c., July 5.-The
Fourth of July was the senate's busy
day. From ten o'clock in the morn
ing until 5:35 o'clock in the after
moon the senators labored. The day
was devoted in the main to the conf
sideration of the administrative pro-
visions of the bill and to the Brown
resolution providing for the submis-
sion of the question of income tax
to the legislatures of the various
states, which, while not a part of
the tariff bill, is so related to it as
to have made it necessary to consid-
er it in connection with the bill.
The best fight of the day was made
by Senator RayIer against the Gus
toms court feature of the administra-
tive amendment.
He undertook to puncture the pro-
vision, and he made along speech
in which he set forth with much
emphasis the declaration that the
court would be found to be uncon-
stitutional because. while dealing
with questions at common law, it
makes no provision for trial by jury,
which he said every suit or under
the common law has a right to de-
mand. He sharply criticized Mr.. AL
drich, whom he frequently remind
ed that he was not a lawyer and
could not be expected to understand
legal and unconstitutional ques-
lions.
The provision was defended by a
number of the republican LAWYERS.
but Mr.. Root said that he had not
favored the creation of the court.
The provision occupied the attention
for about three hours and ultimately
was accepted without division, al
though not until it had been amend
ed IN accordance with Mr.. Rayner's
suggestion soa to exclude criminal
cases from its operation.
The proposed court is to consist of
five members and it is intended to
supersede The United States circuit
courts in customs matters.
Attention WAS given to the draw
black feature of the bill, relative to
which the france committee made
no recommendation beyond striking
but the house provision, which
would have the effect of throwing
the whole question into conference.
In the senate, however, several
amendments were made, some of
which were permitted, at Senator
McCumber's instance, to satisfy the
grain producers of the northwest. A
number of other minor additions
were also made, and all the admins
trative features disposed of.
Eearly in the day the income tax
resolution of Senator Brown ofsNe-
braska was adopted. The resolution
submits to the legislatures of the
states an amendment to the National
constitution providing that "the con-
gress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes on incomes, from what
ever source derived, without appor-
tlorment among the several states
and without regardeto any census or
enumeration.

REV. ANDREW GlLuES
At OPERA HOUSE

On Wednesday, December IS, Rev.
Andrew Gillies, the noted preacher and
lecturer of Minneapolis. will speak in
Dickinson under the auspices of the Citi-
zens' lecture course.
To the patrons of the course and those
of the city who are interested in good
lectures, this will be one Of the red
letter numbers of the. Dickinson lecture
season. Reverend Gillies is probably
one of the most famous lecturers in
this country and his coming TO this city
is being looked forward to with great
interest.
In speaking of Reverend Gillies, Dr..
j. M. Buckley in The New York
Christian Advocate says:
Ills ability as a preacher and as
an occasional speaker is such that he
can be admitted to any pulpit or plat
form in the church with the certainty
that those assembled will listen with
pleasure and receive illumination"

NORWAY WATCH BOYS.

They Sit In Tall Sentry Boxes on the
Lookout For Fish.
It is common enough to see a boy
watching cattle to keep them from
straying, and in days not 30 very long
gone by it was no unusual thing for a
boy to be set to keep the birds of the
crops. But a watch boy whose duty it
is to keep a lookout for a school OF
fish and who sits in a sentry box set
upon stills is not such an everyday
sight.
This particular kind of watch boy IS
Norwegian. the scene of his labors be.
ing the shores of some ford of his ma.
tive land.
His little sentry box is made Of
wood and perched high upon posts.
Here the lad sits. gazing out across
the arm Of the sea, using his keen
eyes for the benefit Of the farmers
who are depending upon him to give
the alarm when a school Of fish shall
appear. They work ~contentedly
enough in their fields. secure in the
belief that their watch boy will let
them know when it is time to reap q
harvest from the sea instead of from
the land.
When the signal is given they leave
their work, throw their big nets over
their shoulders and hurry of to their
boats.
Sentinel boxes similar to those en-
ployed in Norway were in use among
the fishermen on the shores of the
Mediterranean, and it is supposed that
the vikings brought back with them
from some Of their piraticaI raids the
idea that has been put in practice ever
since.-Youth's Companion.

Analysis.

There was once a young man who
was paying court to three different
beautiful damsels. Each was fair.
each was sweet, each was charming.
So much of a triplicate similarity did
they have that he did not know how
to choose between them. So he went
to a wise old a and laid his trou-
bles before him.
"Is there a clock at each house? ?"
asked the wise old man.
There u.s."
"And what does Esmeralda say
when the clock strikes 11?"
"She says the clock is SLOW"
"What does Eulalie say"
"She says the clock is just right"
"And what does Evangeline sayY
"She always says the clock is fast"
