tFrom The Tribune Bur-au.I

Washington Feb 1.-THE agricultural appropris-
tion bill passed by the House of Representa-
tives to-day practically as 1t came from COM
mittee. The debate snlivened by the intro
duction OF the questions when Is mammaI?'
Where and what is mamual?" by Representa-

heart admittedly ''pulsates for the farmer,
whose biography is the shortest in The Congress

leagues because his striking resemblance to DR.

but he is bent getting TO the bottom of the
mystery. The solution of Who killed Billy Pat

interest in ''the age Of Ann" he cares not for
the whereabouts Of Charley Ross but he insists on
knowing what mammals are, and, If they are

Therefore. when the House. in considering the
Agricultural bill, came the paragraph making
appropriations for the maintenance Of the Mon
national bison range and for other reserva-

and what will they be?'
The question was addressed to Representative

the reservations. The species OF birds We nave

Are thesA mammals birds? asked Mr.. Bacon.
and the following colloquy ensued:
Mr.. Gronna-We have these particular reser-

United States.
Mr.. Macon-But I want to know about the NAM

Mr. Macon-But what they good for?

NO CENSUS BILL ACTION.
Suadry CiUit Measure also WU
Probably Stay an Committee.
TFrogn The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Feb u.-It was definitely decided by
The House leaders to-day that the census BILL
which was vetoed by the President should remain
IN committee until the special session OF Congress
Ihls decision was reached not because of any
change of opinion the part Of the upholders of
the spoils system provided for in that measure
but because a partial poll of the House showed
concluslvely that the sentiment was largely op-
posed TO its passage 1t Is conceded that this ac-
lion viii probably the end OF the non-com-
petitive census examinations. for there are few in
me House who believe that Afr. Taft would take
any other course than that of his predecessor if
the present bill were sent TO him. The Democrats
have resolved to support the competitive SYSTEM
and without their assistance the vetoed measure
cannot be re-enacted.
Another important measure that seems likely to
be left in committee until the special session is
the sundry civil bill, which usually carries vast
appropriation and provides. among other things,
the maintenance OF the Secret Service and the
construction of the Panama Canal The impression
has gained ground among members of the Appro-
priations Committee that this measure would be
vetoed by the President II the limitations the
Secret Service not removed. The com
Inittee has intention of removing these restrc
tions neither is IL inclined 10 take the bill into
the House with the possibility of a Presidential
Veto. 1t prefers wait for Mr.. Taft. No final de
cision in matter has been reached but at pres
the committee is in favor of holding to the
bill.

She had established a school for
the children Of the workmen quite
near the cottage, and she superin-
tended their instruction herself.
The princess and Katia frequent
~ passed the night away from
home, sometimes in one village,
sometimes in another; now with
her mother-who was living for
the time at Ekaterinoslaw, now in
one Of the factories, giving instruc-
ton In the doctrines of socialism.
Once when the prince was away,
Princess Alexandra had ventured
to visit Wanda in her cottage.
Visitors were fiocking to see the
prince, and among the guests visit
ing at Castle Kryloff were Stacked
berg and Raymond Chabert.
Thus far Stackelberg had discov.
cred nothing of the socialists, for
Wanda had secretly and adroitly
frustrated all his plans and divert
ed his suspicious. Moreover, he
had fallen in love with the prin-
cess, who alternately encouraged
or discouraged him, according to
circumstances. He loved her as
well as his vile heart could love.
Raymond Chabert walked on air.
The bond between him and Wanda
touched him to the heart. He wor-
SHIPPED rather than loved her. Be-
sides, she loved Litzanoff, and Lit
zanoff loved her.
AS for Prince Krylpff, his time
was entirely taken up attending to
his factories. He had sugar fac
tories, paper factories, and saw
mills for working up the products
of his immense forests. He en-
ployed a vast number of workmen.
Raymond Chabert had been a great
help to him. The new railroad
would double his income.
In spite of his royal generosity,
his magnificence, his exquisite
manners, the prince was very op-
pressive toward his workmen. At
tached to every factory was store
or bazaar. Instead of money the
men received checks for which
they could obtain anything con-
tanned in the bazaar. This sort of
exchange was a considerable
source of revenue to the prince.
Ito be continued.)

1t was towards the middle Of
May, 1873, when q three-horse car
rage containing Korolef, Litzanoff
and a stranger, prematurely gray,
with fine head and calm, unmov-
ed countenance, approached the
village of Krylow, but a short dis
lance from the princes residence.
As they drove into the public
square, the eldest of the three said
to Litzanoff, in a hollow voice:
"Here, 20 years ago, l received
80 strokes of the knout."
Litzanof shuddered. Your he
said.
"Yes; by order of the prince"
"Then understand why you are
a socialist"
1T is not humiliation that made
me a socialist; rather has it been
the love of justice and of truth"
This wise, grave man was the
celebrated physician, Michael Fed
eroff.
Prince Kryloff's residence stood
upon a hill, a short distance from
the Dneiper. 1t was an imposing
structure, built after the Italian
manner, in the midst of a large
park.
Just behind this superb building,
ing, in a secluded part Of the
grounds, stood a little structure,
remining one Of Swiss chalet.
Along two sides of the house ran
a wide piazza supported on slen-
der pillars, all enwrapped and en-
twined with English ivy, American
trumpet creeper, and strange
climbing plants from China and
Greece. A superb double flight Of
steps led down from the front door
into. an English garden, which was
fuTIjof fountains, water falls, flower
beds and rock work.
This was Wanda's summer
home. She called 1t her cottage,
and thither she would constantly
retire, both for study and medita-
ton, and also to escape, accom-
panied by Katia, to take little
run into the factories.
