At these words saw my lady's eyes

should cling together.
How can mere woman know" My
lady shrugged her very graceful and
beautiful shouiders-somewhat ma
ture shoulders now, but still beauti-
full.
Dear sonora" said Mr.. Calhoun,
there are so many things a woman
may not know. For instance, how
could she know if her husband should
perchance leave the legation to which
he was attached and pay a visit TO
another natiOn?"
Again the slight Pickering Of her

She gurgled low in her throat at

SEA MONSTERS IN RATTLE.

Captain Frazier, of the steamship
Bermudian, which arrived at New
York yesterday from Hamilton, Ber-
muda, tells OF a terrific encounter be-
tween baby whale and thresher and
sword6sh, when bis ship was 4o6 miles
south o. Sandy Hook. early Wednes-
day morning.
The whale was about 80 feet long,
while the thresher weighed about l 900
pounds and the swordfish 500. The
captains first iutimation of the COM
bat came when the water off the star
board bow began to boil and toss spray.
He got his glasses and saw the monsters
in the first round Of their combat.
While the thresher struck with his
tail, decorating the sides Of the whale,
the swordfsh would rush in and pierce
the whales body with his sword again
and again. Then the thresher would
lash out with his muscular tail again,
while the whale unable to Eight, save
b. butting or striking with his tail.
rushed hither aud thither in a frantic
effort to escape.
There were six rounds of this, Cap.
tain Frazier said, in each of which the
two allies held the balance OF power.
Gradually the fight got further and
further away from the Bermudian, I'M
til the glasses discovered the water to be
covered with crimson foam. The whale
then leapel into the air his full length
several times in final effort to escape.
The sword6sh ran at him again, pierre
ing his body. The big mammal rushed
away, sprang into the air, and fell back
into the water, turning dead Oh his
side.
Louis Mowbray, curator of the
Aquarium at Hamilton, who arrived
on the Bermudian, said that nervous
prostration, caused by fright, killed
several fine specimens of the Bermuda
octopi that he was bringing here for
the local aquarium.

House cotton bill and rejected the La

incorporated including steel schedule
and amendments OF importance to the

measure now goes to the president,

his disapproval.
President Taft yesterday carried out
his threat to veto the wool tariff bill.
In a special message to the House or
Representatives, read late in the alter

a blend OF an ayowed tariff for revenue

NO PROSPECT OF ADJOURNMENT.

4NS = ANSSA ASA "a S1DJSoAN4SAACANA :.
: The prospect for the adjournment of
the present session of Congress is said
to be as remote as ever. 1t was stated
during the early part of the summer
that the session would close by the
middle OF the heated term, but the
! day OF adjournment has been pc t
poned from time to time until it has
extended almost throughout the dog
days with a prospect OF still further
postponement of closing scenes until
early fall. Indeed, it was stated ny q
member Of Congress yesterday that in
all probability the two houses would
be in session when the snow begins TO
J. fly. In recent years Congress has
been virtually fin-eontinuous session.
Asisoon as Mr.. Taft had been Indicted
into the Presidential office he called
an extra session for the purpose OF
revising the tariff. 1t was charged
that Notwithstanding the two bodies
labored for months that the main
changes made. were in the nature OF
increases. Another extra session was
called in March to consider the Cana
dian reciprocity measure.
The House of Representatives has in
late years become an unwieldly body,
while the obduracy of the Senate in
concurring in measures sent from the
lower house causes delay and dissatis-
faction. To add to the complications,
President Taft yesterday evening vetoed
the wool tariff bill, aud republican
newspapers today are asserting that
not enough votes can be mustered in
either the Senate or House to override
the disapproval of the executive on any
bill which may be put through Con-
gress. We hear much of the despotism
of autocratic governments, but that
such conditions exist in free America
is at times apparent. A majority of
the popular branch of the government
is democratic and yesterday the demo-
Gratis succeeded in getting the cotton
bill through the Senate. The measure,
however, is subject to the ipsa dixit Of
the President. It is high time the
economic measures proposed for this
extra session had been settled, as most
people have grown weary of reading OF
the seasawing procedures incident to
present day operations in Congress.
Besides, such slow motions are causing
uncertainty in commercial circles
which is showing its effects upon bust
ness. Work is likely to become scarce
during the coming winter by reason of
such state Of affairs, while weather
conditions OF the present year will
necessarily cause rise in the necessa.

out is the bane of any country.

troubles of nations are generally most
bitter. Many years elapse before
nation recuperates from them. 1t has
taken over half century to heal
wounds which were made fifty years
ago in the United States. The result
OF the present struggle in England
may be equally as far-reaching.
