After the lapse of considerable time,
a number of Chilean warships stopped
in the harbor at Rio Janeiro. and
among the entertainments prepared TO
the officers was one at the American
legation. Minister Bryan was more
than usually felicitous as a host, and
the Chileans thought they should in
some manner show their appreciation
So the next day a delegation of gold
laced, beplumed and clanking warriors
appeared at the legation. and after
presenting Col. Bryan an address
teeming with good nature they gave
him the onca-the same old cat, only
larger and hungrier. and more re-
pulsive-and the minister turned away
to hide his tears He had received
the same token twice from two wide

Later the onca was given to the
captain of a merchant ship under an
ironclad agreement the animal was not
to be put ashore at port anywhere If
Col. Bryan was there.
Col Bryan has had an interesting
diplomatic experience. While serving
in Brazil he witnessed the rise and
collapse of a revolution against the re-
public, but the disturbance never was
serious enough to cause embarrass-
ment to the diplomatic corps.
Then he was transferred to Portugal
and was in Lisbon at the time of the
assassination of the king.

One OF the most interesting figures
in the new house of lords is Herbert

Owens, of Oklahoma, with being In
terested in the affairs Of the Standard
Oil Company, and saying that he
would like to see John D. Rockefeller
wrapped in the flames of hell" Sen
ator JEFF Davis, of Arkansas, has made
a speech in the senate which was it
tingly characterized by him as red
hot and right off the bat
The speech was made apropos Of
the efforts OF Mr.. Owens to have
passed a general bill giving the rirhi
of way through the public lands OF
Arkansas for gas pipe line. Mr..
Davis asserted that the bill was in
the interest of the Prairie Creek COM
pany which, he said, was a branch OF
the Standard Oil Company Believing
this to be true, he said that he could
not sit idly by and allow to be passed
bill which was in direct conflict
with the antitrust law of his state.
This Law, he said, had proved to be
effective, while the Sherman federal
antitrust law had done absolutely
nothing to check the grasp ana greed
Of the Standard Oil Company. He had
not forgotten the verdict for $zs ,o0or
900, but it vanished as frost before
the sun
He concluded that the provision re-
quiring compliance with the Sherman
law to be a mere sop to catch the
votes of senators, who would not open
ly cast their votes in favor of the set
Of thieves and robbers, which const
tute the Standard OIL Company" He
declared the bill to be one that no
senator could afford to support and
challenged any Democrat to vote for
It.
