day by the House after a bitter
light among Ihe members. Rep
resentative Ingram fought for the

dence between I be I wo houses.
The Wickersham followers had
Ihe Driscoll election bill passed
in 1he House and il was sent, to
Ihe Senate, where no action was
taken because the Senate had al
ready passed an election law. In
revenge they tallied Ihe Millard
bill indefinitely. The result will
bo that no election law will be
passed at Ibis session.

lower House arc iu a sulky mood
and are expected to be obstruc
tionists for the balance of ihe
session.

favor of the laborers, has passed
bulb Houses and is believed by all
to be the greatest, boon given la
bor in this territory, giving them
Ihe Mrst protection for their la
bor on all dumps and claims.
The two houses agreed yester
day on a revenue and taxation
measure and appropriated money
for the territorial government.
The Pioneers Home at Sitka,
which will be located in the bar
racks abandoned by the marine
corps and later turned over by act
of congress to the territory, re
ceived 810,000 and a home for in
digent' prospectors will be estab
lished as soon as possible.
Money for the maintenance of
tin* treasurer’s office and for his
salary was also allowed and the
mine inspectors, established un
der the linden law, was provided
for by an appropriation of 88,000.
The territorial .'interior de
partment received 811,000 for the
work turned over to that depart
ment. and the governor’s office
for clerk hire, secretary and nf
Itce expense received 85,500. The
newly established juvenile court
was taken care of by an appro
priation of $10,000; for the care

New York, May ).—The year
It* 13 has proved Ihus far the
most disastrous Ihree months
that ship owners oh both sides
of I he Atlantic have experienced
... fifty years.
Correct estimates of the loss
caused by the series of storms
that have swept it ho coasts of
Europe and America are difficult
to obtain, but one authority, who
based his liguros on the Lloyds’
report, said that the! damage to
deep sea vessels afoue . would
amount to 87.000,000.
This does not include I he loss
suffered by the coasting trade of
the United Stall's, estimaled at
several millions.
During the month .of .January
one agency reported the loss or
partial wreckage of 328 sailing
vessels and 510 stelamships.
The Horrid Habit of Contrddiotion
One nf the very worst habits to
acquire—if we care for our own
happiness and the happiness of
others—is the habit of contradic
tion.
Unfortunately, it comes easily,
nfrqu unknowingly, and attains
its growth before we are fully
aware of the existence of the evil
thing-we have nurtured.
Woman has no monopoly of
this habit. It is often seen and
is just as had in a man. ,Contin
ual watchfulness' over the unruly
longue is the only safeguard, the
only remedy and the only cure.
Consideration, one for others,
should he cultivated if one would
retain the love of friends.
