WASHINGTON, Feb. — (Spe
cial.) rib re Is no d^ubt that :
the refusal of the house In ;
the committee of the whole to pin '
the Nicaraguan canal bill to the sun- I
| bill, as a rider, was in the in- |
of good government. One such i
onslaught successfully made, one such '
precedem established, and the oldda>s
,iv c when logrolling prevailed, I
dubious measure would be t-n
--acted at the cost of the enactment of j
many d i ius measures. As was ford- j
hly said during the debate, the rule i
that no amendment shall be added to ;
ni raj appropriation bill for any
liture not previously authorized
bj 1..v. is one of the few remaining
rds of the minority. It Is a
rule of Democratic origin, having been
suggested by Jnm«-s K. Polk, when
Bpeaker, in 1837, and since then it has
always received loyal Democratic sup-
Party lines were very much broken
In the vote, but in a general way it
may lie said that the best men In the
house supported the ruling of the
chairman. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois. It
was noticeable that Speaker Reed
buttonholed members and urged them
to \<>t.> agaicst the amendment, with
out any pretense <>f privacy.
Already it is whispered that his op
position to the wishes of the admin- i
lstration, in ibis matter, as in the en- |
tire i illcj of ixpansion. will be re- i
membered when the Fifty-sixth con
gTc.«-> ts. And yet nothing is more ]
certain than that Mr. Heed has the i
who]- field for the speakership with
out ii <"i!ip"titor in sight. The ordi
nary Republican member, who has
been re-elected, would be a mere babe
in the woods were he not the speak
er; Ignorant of the way. fearful of
wolves ;i ml an object of compassion
to any wandering robin with a bill in
its bill.
Doubtless Mr. Reed is not liked by
the powers that be; but the administra
tion is not looking for fight, that is,
outside of the Philippines. In the light
of 1900, the speaker's chair is thought
to iv the safest place for Mr. Reed.
Were he to pose as a martyr, however
ludicrous a halo might appear, he pos
sibly would be dangerous; while that
curious lack of const r uctiveness which
Is his characteristic is now depended
upon tn prevent him from becoming

There is a seise ol relief aliorg thu
i iviu vJitfut, even including some v.lm
faior the general Idea of a trar.sisth
mian canal, that the project i? prob
ably dead for this session, despite the
fact that the senate may attach it to
the river and harbor bill. The compli
cations consequent upon its immediate
undertaking aie bewildering. We have
a treaty of joint ownership with Eng
land, which, though moribund, may not
■ 1 ad. There is a prohibition in the
con titution of Nicaragua against the
sale uf any of its territory. The new
Panama ("anal company claims to have
completed two-fifths of its work. There
is the Maritime Canal company with a
confession about to expire, boasting of
what it has done. There is the Grace-
Craßin syndicate, with a concession
so.»n to be in force, boasting of what
it can do. There is also the apprehen
sion that malign influences are back
of the house measure, and that, as j
Mi. Dockery said, there is a '•little !
joker" in it. And so, though the friends
of the bill will probably not give ur>,
yet it is uoubitul whether they can re
tain their present strength.
From this growing conviction of fail
ure there springs renewed loud talk I
about an extra session. But it is not J
at all likely that the president will
take the Xicaraguan canal into consid- :
eiation in determining whether or not
he shall convene the Fifty-sixth con
gress in March. As has ibeen said be
fore in these dispatches, the crucial
point is the condition in which this
congress leaves the army. With no
legislation, and the treaty ratified, the
armed forces of the United States
might dwindle down to 26,00 men. It
is announced that the president has
said that, unless the house reorganiza
tion bill is passed, he will refer the
whole matter to the next congress. Yet
the feeling is growing that the senate
may sugi?fSt some temporary expedient
which will prove acceptable after all.
One thing is certain, that the adminis
tration does not want an extra session.
It is tired; U wants a respite until next
December to find out just "where it is
at." It is fearful, too, for it
realizes that, while the presi
dent may convene congress for one
specific purpose, he cannot prorogue
it. and that there is nothing to prevent
it from sitting as long as it pleases,
and considering whatever it may
| choose. And what may not new, un
[ known and ambitious members choose?
In setting a strange machine in motion,
it is always well to know how to stop
it.
• * •
The Democratic senators, under the
j lead of Senator Gorman, have sharply
I defined their position on the subject
of an increase of the army. They are
I flatly opposed to a large standing
I army; they are willing to provide that
I the present war strength shall be con
! tinned for a year or more, If only Its
j temporary character be declared. Such
i a bill is that submitted by Senator
Cockrell on behalf of the committee
minority. Mr. Cockrell's bill has one
feature which will probably be elim
j mated. It provides for the enlistment
of native soldiers to serve in the island
of Cuba. Such a provision regarding
Porto Rico might be feasible; but the
employment of Cubans as soldiers, re
pugnant as it is to the principle thatthe
United States army must be com
posed of citizens, would also throw dis
credit on the disclaimer of congress
against exercising ultimate sovereign
ty in Cuba.
The battle which will ensue in the
senate will be but another one of the
conflicts which have raged this ses
sion, along the lines of the national
campaign of 1900, and but accentuates
the conviction that expansion will be
their leading issue.

Current gossip about the joint high
commission, for the members thereof
maintain a discreet silence, now snys
that, under the agreement arr;ved at,
Chllkoot pass and White pass will be
conceded to be American terri'ory, the

la to relinquish all pelagic sealing upon

United States; that New England fish
ermen are to have the right to touch

hay and ore are to be put on the free
list. It is curious, considering the
solemnity with which the American
Publishers' association met and re
solved, that nothing is reported re

these gentlemen took themselves too
seriously, and that their "free pulp"
influence was entirely esoteric?

Regarding the state of gold discov
eries in Alaska, United States Consul
McCook writes to the state department
that quite a stampede has taken placo
within the past few weeks to the Stew
art river district, where several new
creeks with good prospects have bee.n
discovered. He says that mining at
Dawson has been much overdone; but
that the results from Forty-Mile post,
Eagle City and Star City on the Alas
ka side will be very gratifying.

I'll" serrate has already devoted some
time to the discussing of the proposed
Alaskan code, which is justly regarded
as one of the most important -and lm
i>. rative measures before this congress
Jt w;,s stated that while the permanent
population of the territory at present is
30,000, yet moderate estimates placed
the number of our citizens en
pag< '1 there in various occupations dur
ing the present year at 100,000; and
yet there was almost no law
theie, certainly not enough for the
ordinary requirements of justice The
trouble with this bill, which was drawn
■Kith great care by Messrs. Culberaon,
of Texas; Jiotkin, of Wisconsin anil
Watson, of Ohio, is that it is about 7uo
pages long, and at this stage of the ses
sion no one cares to hear it read. Sen
ator Hoar suggested that it be passed
by Ita title, as was done in the case of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and it is probable that some
such legislative device will be adopt
ed.

The fate of the McKnery resolution in
the bouse rests with Chairman Hitt
of the committee on foreign affairs,
who is an administration man by grace
of principle, training and favor. It is
said that he will hold it until so late
lc the session that If the house should
pass it. as seems probable the presi
dent would be relieved from either
signing it or returning it with his ob
jections. On the other hand, it is said
that the McEnery resold tion Is a s weak
a one as cnuld be parsed, and hence
that the administration prefered it as
the easiest settlement of a dangerous
matter. If such a view prevails, Mr.
Hitt will, of course, report it prompt
ly. In any event, the house is bound
to have its Innings on the Philippine
question.
Mr. Gillette, of Massachusetts a
Republican, who on several occasions
has shewn independent thought and
action, has given notice that he will
offer an amendment to any bill which
carries the $20,000,000 appropriation for
Spain declaring that the policy of this
government is opposed to the'acquisi
tion of the Philippines. And Mr. Mc-
Rae, of Arkansas, mates that he will
propose an amendment asserting that,
as soon as the inhabitants establish an
Independent government, all rights ced
ed by Spain shall be transferred to it.
Of course, in either event, the speaker
has to be reckoned with, but Mr. Reed
is supposed to favor any action by the
house regarding the Filipinos which
as he expresses it, will "make for right
eousness."

I ,> (or < imnldernl ion in Senate.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.— The week
will he a busy one In the senate. Very
rarely has ii occurred that there have
been so many important measures on
the senate calendar so short a time
before final adjournmeat of the last
session of congress. There are, how
ever, only comparatively few of these
bills, outside the appropriation bills,
which must necessarily be acted upon
before adjournment, and, if the senate
disposes of these with the same fa
cility that it has used in getting rid
of other important bills during the
past week, the session will be closed
I up In good order and with time to
spare.
The army reorganization bill and the
census bill are in reality the only two
j measures, aside from the appropria
| tion bills, upon which action would
j seem absolutely necessary. The cen
sus !>ill has passed both houses and
is now in conference and is reasonably
i sure of enactment in some shape.
The army bill is yet to receive the
attention of the senate. The contest
I over the measure, which was promised
for last week, was postponed by delay
jin reporting the bill. Senator Hawley,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, has given notice that he will
seek to have the bill taken up for con
sideration immediately after »he dis
posal of the routine business Monday
| morning-. H e will first ask for unani
; mous consent to take up the bill, and,
if this is refused, will make a motion
to this effect. There is no probability
that the bill will not be taken up, as
the Democrats as well as the Repub
licans concede the necessity for some
legislation increasing the army to cover
the present emergency.
With the bill once before the sen-
I ate. Senator Cockrell will proceed to
j give the reasons of the opposition to a
i permanent increase of the army, and
: he will be followed by other senators
! in opposition, so long as no disposition
i is made to abandon at least some por
'■ tions of the house bill. The vital point
: of difference between the two sides of
j the chamber is the duration of time
j for which the increase of the army is
ito be made. The Republicans demand
i that it shall be permanent, and the
| Democrats refuse to make it more than
I temporary. The latter declare that
i they will not abandon this position,
and say that whatever is done must
be done with this understanding.
Some of the friends of the bill have
suggested the acceptance of the Hull
bill with an amendment making the
increase for only a specified time, but
the Democrats generally manifest a
disposition not to accept this change.
[ as they say it would leave the way
open for the Republicans to get the
legislation they want i,n. the next con
gress by repealing the temporary pro
vision. So far no tangible basis for
compromise has been suggested on
either eido, but some of the most in
fluential members of the senate are
working to that end and the prediction
is freely made that they will succeed
before the close of the session.
Tuesday will bo given up to the river'
and harbor bill if present plans are
yarried into effect. Of the supply bills
the senate has now before it only the
postofflce appropriation bill and the
river and harbor bill. Of these the
pofitoffice bill has received partial at
j tention and the river and harbor bill
1 stone. It is expected that the sundry
i civil bill will be reported late in the
i week. The river and harbor bill will
| probably arouse considerable discus
sion and there will be an effort to de
feat the Nicaraguan canal amendment
on a point of order.
There are still four important ap
propriation bills, namely the navy,
army, fortifications and deflciency
bills, which have not yet been receiv
ed from the house of representatives.
The Sampson-Schley controversy will
almost surely come ud in executive
session before the close of the session.
The anti-scalpm^ !>IU will be abandon
ed. For the rest there are many more
minor bills on the calendar, which will
give the senate plenty tv do when it
is not engaged with the nice moment
ous questions. Wednesday will be de
voted to the reading of Washington's
farewell address and to eulogies on the
late Senator Morrlll.
BIG BILLS BELATED.
Three Still Waiting fur Action in
the ilmiKr — Indemnity Money.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.— The house
enters upon the last two weeks of the
session tomorrow with three appropria
tion bills -the army, fortification and
general deficiency — unacted upon, and
the naval bill but half .completed. The
army bill must be held back until the
senate- decides upon its course relative
to the reorganization bill, but it is not
anticipated that either will cause trou
ble.
The situation in the house has, how
ever, been greatly complicated by the
action of the senate in placing the
Nicaraguan canal bill upon the river
and harbor bill as a rider. This will
doubtless precipitate a bitter fight in
the house and may result in the loss
of the bill. The failure of the river
and harbor bill will not make an extra
session incumbent, but the contest
over it will develop bad blood and
friction, which may make it all the
more difficult for the other measures,
which must pass to avoid an extra ses
sion. The conference reports on all
the big appropriation bills are yet to
be adopted, and, if the senate loads
some of them down as it has the river
and harbor bill, stormy times are in
evitable.
The last six days of the session are
suspension days, under which any
proposition can be forced to a vote.
Tomorrow is also suspension day un
der the rules, and advantage will be
taken of It to pass the bill for the pay
ment of $20,000,000 to Spain to carry out
the terms of the Paris treaty.
Under suspension of the rules amend
ments are not in order, so that the
house will have no opportunity to vote
upon any of the numerous expressions
of future policy. The house must now
vote for iv - against the appropriation
as reported. When confronted only
with tht alternative of voting against
the appropriation it is not likely half
a dozen votes will be recorded against
It, although a declaration against the
permanent annexation of the Philip
pines would command very near the
entire strength of the Democratic and
Populist representatives, as well as
seme Republican votes.

Rei-eived n( the Station.
With Mood-bespattered face and an
ugly sash in his forehead, "Con" Hor
rigan landed at the central station last
evening in a. state of exuberant hilar
ity. He said the cut was a mere trifle;
that he had been knocked down by
some one, he did not know whom, and
in fact, did not care. He simply had
an "argument" and got the worst of
it, as he explained.
Dan Cashill, living at 75 Garfleld
street, was with Horrigan, under ar
rest also, but he appeared not to ba
aware of this fact until he reached the
station. He said he had only consent
ed to come along "wld Con" to give
his testimony as to how Horrigan got
hurt. Both men were charged with
drunkenness. Horrigan says he and
Cashill were walking together when
set upon by a gang, one of whom
knocked Horrigan down. Horrigan
said Cashill had nothing whatever to
do with his being hurt. Officer Mont
briand, who made the arrest, sent in
word also that Cashill probably had
nothing to do with the assault.
PAXTON MAY_BE PASTOR.
Philadelphia Man Wljo Preached at
iluusf of Hope.
Rev. James D. Paxton, of Philadel
phia, who is said to be very favorably
looked upon as a successor to Rev.
John Paul Egbert at the House of
Hope, preached at the church yester
day. He said in part:
■Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of
Heaven?
The disciples of Jesus had been discussing
this question among themselves. They had
exalted ideas about their own capacity, and
not being able to agree, they put the ques
tion to Jesus. Each expected Jesus would
instantly point to him and say: "You will ba
the greatest." But what a mistake they made!
How astonished they were when Jesus took
up into His arms a little child, and said to
them: "If you want to enter the kingdom of
heaven, here is your model. You must be
like this little child."
In what respects must we imitate the lit
tle children In order to be great In the Mas
ter's kingdom? In the first place we must
imitate them In their simplicity. Why should
the children have a monopoly of it? There
are many of us who need simplicity eadly.
We forget that every day wo are running
through a mass of questions which no man
ha 3 ever answered. How? In regard to any
thing. What kind of a religion would it be
that you could understand? It would bo a
human religion, it would be a religion that
one of your brothers had made. Don't be
afraid of retreating to your ngnostic corner.
Let there be such a corner in . your lite.
Christian agnosticism is a good thing. Don't
be afraid to retreat to that corner, and there,
with a smile upon your face, say: "I don't
know, and I am glad that I don't know, and
there is no reason why I should know." Now,
that is simplicity.
We must 'mltate the children In their cheer
fulness and consistency.
Consistency is living up to one's creed. The
world asks for consistency, but the church
demands it. We must imitate the childfen in
their purity. Purity is freedom from evil
habits anrl thoughts and feelings, and wa
must imitate them in their faith. The
world must look to them for its lesson in
faith, for without It we can never reach the
home beyon<L

down, and Instead patiently listen to
the arguments made. Several of the
members held a consultation Saturday
and agreed that, If the school teachers
bothered them in the future during
sessions of the house, the rule prohibit
ing lobbyists on the floor of the house
would be enforced.
AND MANY OP THEM WENT.
The enterprising manager of a con
cert hall conceived the idea that It
would be a good thing to send passes to
all the members of the legislature and
carried out the same. Whether the
pasteboards were sent with a desire to
increase the business at the resort is a
question, but it was noticed that on
the evening of the day that the mem
bers were thus honored there was quite
a sprinkling of the law makers present
at the show. The explanation given
by each of those who took advantage
of the oourtesy extended by the man
ager was that he had simply attend
ed In order to see how many of his
colleagues would be present.
NOW FOR STARCH BOUNTY,
The friends of the pig iron bounty
bill are highly elated at the action' of
the house in passing the sugar bounty
bill over the veto of the governor. The
pig iron men claim that if it Is a good
thing to give a bounty on sugar the
principle applies with equal force to
their demands. Besides they point out
that the iron bounty bill limited ths
time for payment and the amount to
be paid per year, which the sugar
bounty law did not, and the governor
could make no objection on this ground.
In this connection it is stated that
one of the house members has In his
pocket a bill providing for a bounty
on starch manufactured in the state,
and as soon as the iron bounty bill is
passed the legislature will be called
upon to provide a bounty for starch
manufacturers.
HAD THEM "PAT."
Former Senator Theden, who is inter
ested in the Minnesota Beet Sugar
company, stated Friday night that the
house would certainly pass the blll^
appropriating $20,000 to the sugar com
pany over the veto of the governor.
Mr. Theden has been keeping "cases"
since the bill was Introduced, and his
form book on members of the house
proved correct. As to the action, in the
senate on the veto, Mr. Theden was
not so certain, but he predicted and
hoped that body would follow the
course taken by the house.
DULUTH M>AY FIGHT IT.
Mr. Jacobson (Rep.), of Lac qul Parle,
opposed the pig iron bounty bill in the
house and made a strong talk against
it. The friends of the measure say
that, while Jacobson's bill increasing
the gross earnings tax on railroad com
panies passed the house, it is still in
the senate and it may have a hard time
getting through that body. The inti
mation is that unless "Jake" favors
the iron' bounty his pet measure will be
either killed or amended to death.
SENATOR RYDER'S SATIRE.
Quiet criticism has been made by
some members of the senate over the
great number of employes of the house,
says the East Grand Forks Courier.
Today I went over the house journal
and found that there were tit present
eighty-eight who draw vouchers for
work in connection with that body.
There are nineteen janitors to the
house. None of the number have ap
plied for medical treatment, as far as
can be learned, for overwork. Their
dutle3 may be exacting, and this num
ber is probably wanted, or so many
would not be on the pay roll. It mere
ly indicates the economical mood of the
house in view of the present condition
of the finances of the state, and the
desire of the legislature to confine itself
to reasonable expense limits. The num
ber employed in the senate does not
reach thirty.

Our Great fnlveraltien How Coatly
Tl»ey Are.
The r«quest made some time ago by tha
president of the University of Chicago for an
additional $5,000,000 to be added to its endow
ment funds shows how costly a thing a great
university is. This institution la one of the
youngest of the great schools of the countr> ;
It has already received in endowments about
$12,000,000, but yet there is an annual defi
ciency of something like $200,000. which is
not provided for and has to be raised from
outside sources. To provide for this about
$5,000,000 more should be added to the reve
nue-producing funds of the institution. Tl;e
University bf Chicago is not in this respect
an exception to the general rule in this coun
try, It costs over $1,000,000 annually to run
Harvard university, and its endowment is
about $9,000,000. Yale has fund's aggregating
$4,682,000 and yet the Institution is poor and
is always pressed for adequate funds to carry
on its educational work. Columbia, in the
city of New York, has $9,400,000 In funds, but
it is restricted in each of its departments by
lack of money. Some of the other unlversj
ties in this country having large productive
funds are: Cornell, New York, $0,300,000;
Glrard, Pennsylvania. $15,210*000; Johns Hop*
kins, Maryland, $3.'50,C00; Leland Stanford
Jr., California, $3,500,000; Northwestern
Illinois, $2,465,000; Tuftß, Massachusetts,
$1,700,000; University of Pennsylvania, $2,122 -
000; Vanderbllt university, $1,100,000, and Wes
leyan university, $1,172,000. The number of
schools with endowments of Irss than $1,000,000
aro to be counted by the score. — Globe Year
