SENATE MAY AGAIN
REVIVE LORIMER PROBE
Senator La Toilette lntrOduC-
ed Resolution

Washington, April 6.-Senator La
Toilette today introduced resolution
providing for another investigation
of the Senator Lorimer case. 1t names
as the committee of investigation
Senators Work, of California, Town
send, of Michigan, Mclean, of Con
necticut, Kern, of Indiana, and Pom
creme, of Ohio. No action was taken,
as Senator Lorimer intends to speak
on the resolution another day.
The resolution recalls the action
of the senate last session when a move
failed to declare the seat of Senator
LoriIner vacant because of alleged
corruption of the Illinois legislature,
which elected him.
1t is expected the adoption of the
resolution will be opposed by sena-
tors who voted for Senator Lorime~
last session, and that an effort will be
made to have it referred to the commit
tee on privileges and election, of
which Senator Dillingham;, of Vermont,
will be the new chairman. The Yer
mont member, as a member OF the COM
mittee last session, voted against the
resolution to unseat Mr.. Lorimer.

An English traveller who had often heard
that the Venetian gondolers were remarkable
for their perfect acquaintance with every
building and locality. however obscure, in their
beautiful city, determined to put their know-
edge to the test, and with this view stepped
into Il gondola, saying to the boatman who
awaited his orders: Take me to the Church
OF San Berhngo."
The gondolier fell into a brown study, and
answered, after while: 'Sgnor, don't
know where that church is" The English
man pretended to get very angry, and went
to several other boatmen. repeating the same
proposal and receiving the same answer.
At length one gondolier received his orders
in silence, and, plying his oar, labored anu on
for over an hour, drawing the boat to land
opposite to some distant church, when he
said to the passenger:
"IIere YOU are, signor.
"And is this really the Church of San l!er-
lingo?" inquired the latter, in great surprise,
well knowing that there existed no church
of that name.
ooh, certainly" added the boatman; This
is All Saints Church; SO if your, San Berlmgo
is really one of them this must be his church.

Months and years passed, and England was
in all the excitement of the hestoration,

feet the memorable Order of the Garter given
her SO long ago.
Whence do you come, my good woman?"
asked the monarch, fresh from mis- triumphal
ride through rejoicing London.
From Leeds, your Majesty was the ans

out one struggle.
Lifting one of its hoofs it dashed it back

The leopard, though fierce. is rather a cow
ardly animal and it is not usual for it to at
where antelopes abound. The sportsmen,
therefore, were of opinion that this particular
leopard had cubs, and that while feeding in
the forest the giraffe had approached so neaI
the place where the young leopards lay that
the ferocity of the mother was aroused, with
the result which we have described.

to watch the issue.
A few seconds only had elapsed when two
fullgrown graffes were seen to break from
the thicket and strike out at full gallop for
the plain beyond.
But the two hunters were quite unprepared
for the extraordinary sight that met their
eager gaze as the wild creatures flew past
them. A large leopard had bounded on the
back Of one Of them, while still in the forest,
and was now seated firmly on its shoulders,
tearing at the poor animals neck with the
savage ferocity Of its kind. ~.

after leaving the Jail building,
sought the assistance OF friend
