CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Washington, Feb. 28. —After a con
test that will be memorable in the
history of the senate, the compro
mise army reorganization bill was
passed. Mr. Gorman (dem., Md.)
insisted that his amendment provid
ing that the army should not be in
creased permanently or beyond July
1, 1901, be incorporated In the meas
ure. An agreement was reached
finally, however, and Mr. Gorman’s
amendment, in a slightly modified
form, was accepted. • The bill was
passed by a vote of 55 to 13, the nega
tive vote being Messrs. Bate, Berry,
Buiier, Caffery, Chilton, Clay, Daniel,
Hoar, Martin, Pettigrew, Turley,
Vest and White.
Washington, Feb. 28. —The house
was in session seven hours, and sent
to the senate two more appropriation
bills, t7ie array bill which had been
under consideration for several days
and the fortifications bill. The former
carried about $79,000,000 and the lat
ter approximately $4,700,000. The
final conference report upon the In
dian appropriation bill was also
adopted. Mr. Dockery (dem., Miss.),
the leai .ng democrat on the appropri
ation committee, asserted that the ap
propriations of this congress would
reach $1,600,000. Mr. Fitzgerald
(dem.. Mass.) offered an amen Intent
to the army bill to pay the soldiers in
the regular army who served during
the w - ar beyond the limits of the
United States two months’ extra pay
upon their muster out and those who
served within the limits of the
United States one 1 months’ extra pay;
it was adopted and the bill passed.
Mr. Sager (rep.. la.) asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of the

president to appoint Osmon Dsignan,
one of the heroes of the Merrimac, a
naval cadet at Annapolis. It was
adopted. After some discussion the
fortifications appropriation bill was

Washington, March 1. —In the senate
an amendment to the sundry civdl bill
was adopted appropriating nearly $4,-
000.000 for preliminary work on build
ings which had been authorized. Bills
appropriating $50,000 each for Janes
ville and Eau Claire pubHc buildings
were passed. Another unsuccessful
effort was made in the executive ses
sion to confirm the nominations ad
vancing Sampson and Schley and the
other officers who participated in the
Santiago campaign. This result was
due to the objections of Messrs. Petti
grew and Stewart, who talked through
the session thus preventing a vote. Mr.
Butler based bis objections to the ad
vancement of Sampson upon the rev
elations of the published record of the
two officers, and referred with special
emphasis to the fact that Sampson had
himself been responsible for Schley re
maining at Cienfuegos. Mr. Foraker
gave notice that he would offer the fol
lowing amendment to the army appro
priation bill as a proviso when it
comes before the senate: “That no
franchise or concessions of any kind
whatever shall be granted by the Uni
ted States or by any authority what
ever for which the United States is re
sponsible in Cuba during the occupa
tion there by the United States; and
providing further, that the pacification
of the island of Cuba having been ac
authorized to withdraw the military
forces of the United States therefrom
and leave the government and control
of the island to its people.” The pres
ident sent to the senate an inventory
of the property the Hawaiian govern
ment transferred to the United States.
The report was made by Special Agent
Se-wall. The estimate places the total
valuation of the property at 110,873,000.
Washington, March I.—The house
spent practlally the entire session
passing public bills. Sixty-one bills
were passed carrying $9,325,000.
Washington, March 3.—During al
most the entire session of the senate it
was engaged in routine business.
Three score or more of minor bills
were passed, the calendar oeing
cleared entirely of pirate pension
bills and of measures correcting the
military and naval records. Two
measures of a national character were
passed by the senate, the fort
ifications bill and the bill pro
viding a code of criminal laws
for the district of Alaska. The forti
fications biii was passed precisely as
it came from the house, without an
amendment and now goes to the pres
ident. The conference reports on the
census and naval personnel bills were
agreed to and these two measures will
also go to the president.
Washington, March 3. —An attempt
was made in the house to consider res
olutions reported by the judiciary
committee declaring that Gen. Wheeler
and three other members, who accept
ed commissions in the army, had there
by vacated their seats, but the house,
by an overwhelming vote, refused to
consider them. The political division
upon this vote was significant. The
vote stood 77 ayes, cast by 21 republi
cans, 43 democrats and 13 populists,
and 146 nays, cast by 101 republicans,
44 democrats and 1 populist. Half a
million dollars each were appropriated

pan-American exposition in Buffalo
and the Ohio centennial at Toledo.

ficiencies. The former carries ap
propriations exceeding $80,000,000 and
the latter $20,000,000. Both passed.
The river and harbor bill as adopted
eliminates the reservoir proposition.
The conference on the Washington
public library bill was presented by
Mr. Hale. He explained the senate’s
armor plate amendment was a serious
stumbling block and it had been sug
gested that the senate take a vote up
on the proposition as it now was pre
sented. He declared that the situ
ation was very serious, as it would
effect the price of armor not only for
the ships authorized by the bill, but
for the ships already contracted for.
The conference on the naval bill
agreed to report another disagree
ment on the armor plate and the bat
tleship amendments of tiie senate.
They agreed upon all the other pro
visions. These two items will be sub
mitted to a vote of the senate. The
naval nominations were confirmed
without opposition. These are promo
tions resulting from the naval person
nel bill. It settles the schley-Samp
son controversy by making each a
rear-admiral, with Schley two num
bers in advance of Sampson.
Washington. March 4. —Crowded gal
leries looked down upon the struggling
members of the house as the clos
ing scenes of the last legislative day
of this congress were being enacted.
Mr. Walker (rep.. Mass.), after
many successful attempts, got an op
portunity during the auernoon to
voice his views on currency reform
and severely criticised some of his
republican Colleagues. The questions
in dispute between the two houses, be
ing naturally last to be adjusted, were
time to time short recesses were taken.
They were simply breathing spells,
however, and soon the leaders were at
it again harder than ever. The army
reorganization bill, with the senate
amendments, finally went through the
house. The house agreed to the sec
ond partial report on the sundry civil
bill. The Pacific cable amendment is
still open, the house refusing to con
cur in it.

DEriiNING A CATAMARAN.
Having read to her pupils a descrip

the teacher some days later asked her

then used meant. These are some of
the answe rs:—
The Catamaran is a savage officer in
the Fillipose' Islands.
A catamaran carirer clubs in a golf
game.
The catamaran is the place in Chica

NO DISCRIMINATING EVIDENCE.
“Strangest case I ever had,” said the
attorney, who was in a talkative mood,
“was up in the northern part of the
state last summer. I was back in the
woods some miles from what you call
civilization, on a combined fishing and
minting trip. While I was there an
old man, who had been acting as my
guide, and very valuable in spite of
his bibulous habits, was arrested for
stealing a keg of whisky. The case
looked pretty black for him, and the
old man knew it. As the old man was
almost indispensable to me, I volun
teered to defend him.
“When the case came to trial I
used all my wiles to get him clear; but
I soon saw that it was up-hill work,
and that the jury had a deep-seated
conviction that the old man was guilty.
The old man realized it, too, and
squirmed uneasily about upon his
chair.
“The case was about to go to the
jury when the old man arose and in
sisted on addressing them before they
retired. The court granted the per
mission, and the old man turned to!
the jury and said:
“’I jes' want ter ask ye one ques
tion. Ye all know me, an’.what I want
to ask ye is this; Do you think that If
I stole that thar whisky that I would
be sober now?’ J
“This was putting the case in anew
light, and it seemed to have great ef
fect with the jury, for they declared
him not guilty before leaving the box.
“When it was over, and the old man
was receiving the congratulating of
his friends, one of them said:—Vb
“ ‘Sam, how on earth did voiiWin.
age it?’
“ ‘Wul,’ answered the old man, aiT
he solemnly winked one eye, ‘when I
fed that thar whisky home, the old
saw at once that the first thing
that I would go and do would be to go
anil git full of incriminating evidence,
so she took the keg and locked it up in
the cellar till the clouds would roll by.
But its mighty lucky tljat the trial kim
off jes’ ez it did, fer I couldn't hev held
out for another day ter save my life.’ ”

VIRCHOW ON VIVISECTION.
Prof. Rudolf Virchow, of Berlin, the
great German scientist, has published
a defense of vivisection, under ade
quate supervision, which ought to set
tle the question for reasonable people.
He points out that, the bacteriological
origin of disease being once admitted,
experiments upon living animals be
come indispensable to investigation.
The smallest growths, perceptible only
by the microscope, often engender the
most deadly poison, but their effect
can only be ascertained by the inoc
ulation of a living organism. Dr. Vir
chow further shows that for the study
of antidotes to bacteria poisoning like
experiments are absolutely necessary.
If human life and healthy existence
are to have all the benefits which mod
ern science can offer, the practice of
vivisection is the imperative condition.

MOMSEN.
Theodor Momsen. who recently cele

just completed a book on Roman crim

that he is at work on the fourth vol

ing the period of the early empire.
The statement is probably inaccurate,
as Momsen has repeatedly said he
would never write that volume, the
reason given being his repugnance to
reading up the early Christian theo
logical works dealing with the period.
