ion was the consideration of a meas
ure providing for the lean of govern
ment tents for the use of the Con-
federate veterans at their annual re-

renatcr from Idaho ranted against
ermitting men in rebel uniform
to occupy government property and
allowing the rebel flag to float
above 1t, and before he got through
he went back to the Lee statue mat
ter. The Southern senators very
properly RETAINED from answering

tented themselves with calling for 4

The remarkable faculty which cats

Chinese Respect for Newspapers.

Two years ago the Picking Gazette
celebrated its millenary. Originally
1t appeared at intervals and in a very
rudimentary form. To-day 1t Is mod
ern, its diurnal publication being
three editions. Great changes have
been made in fifty years, and since
the Boxer rebellion the number and
holiness of the newspapers have in.
creased. There are seven different
styles of writing, viz. the ancient. the
literary, the flowery. the common. the
"demi-vulgaire," the familiar and the
epistolary. The papers for the people
are printed in the common style and
some have adopted the new alphabet
sanctioned by the government. Great.
er reverence Ia shown to the press in
China than in other countries. Old
papers are never put to base uses !;
they are collected and burned in the
pagodas The Chinaman believes that
proclamation of newspapers is followed
by blindness
