The St. Louis Republic intimate^ that
the health department of the World’s

save the city unnecessary expense by

The Japanese have never before been
engaged in a war"with-Ewropeans;-bHt
it is well known that the Japanese
army is not only of considerable Size,
but that its disclpHneand equipment
are fully equal to that of the French
or German forces. The present Stand
ing army of Japan is something like
650,000 troops, or approaching in Size
the army of either France or Germany.
Mr. Feather, fhe president; of ihe
Chicago Janitors’ union, will refuse to
be re-elected, because Jin, “would rather,
have one boss than 3,000.” He worked
seven years in a building of 28 depart
ments and he declares that he can
get along with a thousand women bet
ter than with half that dumber of
Janitors. fttsuy men in power talk mu,ch

weigh well, ail that Mr; Feather says.
As the great conflagration which de
stroyed the wholesale district of Balti
more recedes into the distance there is
a disposition to cut down the early
estimates of loss. This is but natural,
as every disaster looks greater than it
generally turns out to be. It was at
first thought that the loss wouid total
up more than a hundred million dol
lars, hut the latest estimate^ place the
total at forty to fifty millions; a serious
enough loss surely, bu,t scarcely so
overwhelming as was at first feared.
Government men who are gbod at

two other instances at father and son

A Summary of Important Events.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
(First Session..J&s
Senate—The suspense cofecerntng ltl>%
condition o£ Senator Hanna had an ap
preciable effect on the senate, on the 16th,
and as a result the proceedings were
marked by an unusual listlessness and de
pression. There were no speeches on any
subject whatever, and more attention was
given to the frequent bulletins announc
ing the condition of the senator than to
routine business, the most Important mat
ter Taken -up being the tritt providing -fee
a gratuity to former Queen Dilluokalanl,
Of Hawaii, which was lost on a tie vote.
Several hair wore passed, „ At sa#-tho
-semrte wenMntO-esocuttve session and at
3:19 adjourned.House—Proceeding un
der "personal privilege" recognition, Mr.
Shafroth (dem., Col.) relinquished his
sedt In the house in favor of Robert W.
Bonynge, the republican contestant for the
seat. Mr, Shafroth's statement was re
garded'as most extraordinary and sensa
tional. It was received with prolonged
applause on the part.of both republican
an«t democratic members, and when he
had concluded nearly the entire demo-,
cfdtw membership surrounded his scat.
The house, after a forty minute session,
at 12:10 adjourned.
Senate—The Panama canal question
agalq. on th« 18th, was the uppermost
topic IriHe senate, and Mr.gfpboner spoke
on thaUAubJect during the greater por
tion at the day’a session. H* discussed
many phase* of ths subject, sustaining
the course of ths president throughout
the anrecedlhga resulting Irt-tfa* independ
ence of Panama. He 'also contended for
the superiority of the Panama route over
that of Nicaragua, Without concluding,
Mr. Spooner suspended his remarks at
1:42 and the senate went into executive
session, adjourning at 3:50 until the 20th
....KHSpusc—The house passed the fortifi
es tton appropriation bill. The Philippine
q*e*ti«i -was the subject of a. brief but
spirited crfacussiim While the bill Was un
der consideration. Amendments proposed
by Mr. Robinson (Ind.) to provent al
lotments of money for .further experi
ments with the Bangley airship failed.
The fSrUfila't|6t> bill, without amendment,
Java# then parsed without debate or divi
sion. A bHI creating1 Utica, N. 1., a port
of delivery was parsed. The house, at
5:30 p. m., adjourned.
House—Tho. house, on the ISth, began
cohsiSferktTon of the naval appropriation
bill, ten-hours being allowed for general
debate. During the general discussion
Mr. Fitzgerald (N. Y.) declared that our
naval programme was to procure a naval
force greater than that ,of Germany. He
complained'-ef the employers of Chinese
on the Pacific. He said when the measure
proposing the creation of a commission
to investigate the merchant marine came
up fop consideration he would insist that
the Inquiry extend to the condition of the
American seamen. Mr. Gaines (Tenn.)
made an appeal for the tobacco grower,
contending for the removal of the tax im
posed on stemmed leaf tobacco when
stemmed by Tne farmer. Mr. Gaines said
the law evidently had been written by
some skillful lawyer for the trusts and
passed without congress knowing what it
was. The law as it stood, he said, had
paralyzed the liberty of the grower.
