chinaman Wanted Much.

One of Boston's insurance men In.
sured a small building which serves
an industrious Chinaman both as shop
and home. The policy covered dam
ages caused by fire and water. but
John Chinaman evidently thought he
was protected against losses due to
any other cause whatever. One day
the following letter came. addressed
to the insurance company:
Some bad boy break my one glass.
Now all tore Come you my house.
Look Fix new. Joe Lung.
Joe expected the company 70 make
good the damage done by the bad boy.
and plainly thought he was beipe
swindled when informed that biz
claim was inadmissfble.

Chicago, March 17.-Wheat took
downward bend today on account OF
light rains at a few points in Kansas.
The suggestion of relief from dry
weather southwest proved to be sufflcl-
ent to turn speculative sentiment. A
liberal increase of the European visible
supply acted also against the bulls.
Opening prices were 2 shade to Is ana

subsequent decline.
Some reaction followed as result OF
dispatches from southern Kansas tell

Corn.
Favorable crop reports from Argen-
tina tended to make corn easy. Pit de-
mand enlarged, however, when prices
went under last nights level. The mar

then sagged all around.
Later prices hardened, The close
was firm, u and Il to IS above last

Provisions.
Lower prices for hogs put a handicap
on provisions. The downward changes

The sea coast Of Laurentum may
have been in favor with the fashion
able and the wealthy for = brief
space of time under Augustus and his
Immediate successors, but was given
up quite soon to parvsnues and mer-
chants and retired omcers, and the
same set OF noisy people who haunt at
the present day the popular watering
places of the world. To make the
analogy more striking, an inscription
has been found at La Capocotta sing
ing the praises of a wealthy Jew. and
revealing the fact that synagogue
had been built at Ostia for the use Of
the Semitic "villeggianti" on the
neighboring coast.

GAIN SEVERAL IN SENATE

Washington, Nov. 6.-Many changes
in the organization Of the house Of
representatives will be made when
Champ Clark and Uncle Joe Cannon
once more face each other across the
center aisle at the beginning of the
next congress.
The dwindling of the Democratic
majority, which will drop after the
close of the December session from
al to Is, will necessitate a general
shifting of the working order in the
house.
With their slender majority the
Democrats, while able to re-elect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the committees, will be forced to main
tain an almost perfect organization.
Even with a full attendance in the
house a shift of twelve votes would
throw the control to the minority side.
Practically complete returns gave
the Democrats $50, Republicans 1876,
Progressives 7, Socialists l., 1ndepend-
ents 1 and doubtful /. This would
give the Democrats plurality of thir.
ty-three over the Republicans and OF
twenty-four over the combined oppo
sition.
In the senate the Democrats made
a gain of several seats, increasing
their majority from ten;so probably
fifteen. s'l'
