Kate Shorman | Senate Chaplain Recites the Praises of the Highest Form of Patrlotis Bays, Is Not on the Batt the fleld—What and Stripes Teach Stars Should WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.<This being Wa: Ington's birthday, the National Congress of Women, now la session here, chose patriotic subjects for consideration at both its morning and evening The morning was divid parts, patriotism as an element in government and patriotisin session sesslon into two assigned to | as an eclement in school govern- ment. Kate Brownlee Sherman of Ohio read the report of *he committee on patriotic teaching. She then discussed the inffience of | patriotism in founding and preserving free | fnstitutions, She sald In part: “‘Patriotism | does not reach its hest form on the battle- | field, when the trumpets blare and the cannon roar and the general crie orward.” Splendid is the patriotism that leads a man to die for his country in the forefront of battle, but splendid beyond human epeech | to deplct is the patriotism that leads to the | martyr's stake, to the death of humiliation, | defeat and the reproach of men. She who | Jeads a temperance crusade is nobler than | he who wrenched Jerusalem from the | Saracens. He who forms a school is greate than he who builds an armory, a free Kinder- | garten that teaches the use of hand und eye | apd fertile brain or a training school of iWustrial arts would do more for y advancement in a year than West Ioint dene In all the years of its existeice.” Eller S. Mussey of Washingior what the flag has cosc women PATRIOTISM IN THE SCHOOLS. Loulse Barnes Robbins of Michigan then discussed the part played by patristism through the schools in forming the character of American citizens. She said: “The | people have established free schools | and free educaticn. If need be, let them as- | sume control of the text books, and let a few Jeffersons and Websters and Clays and | Wendell Phillips be found for the noble task | of compliling in our sechool the high thoughts of God and man, liberty and patriot- fsm, to be absorbed by the outreaching hearts of children. With the right text book, place in the schools teachers with lofty ideas, integrity, honor and patriotism, place in schools the starry flag, that the children shall learn to do homage to it s well as to the grand cause. Let the inspiration be “Star Spangled Banner’ and ‘Rally Round the and there will be a rally and the | children will learn to love the flag whose folds protect them. Teach youth the splendor of great ideas by recounting the unnumbered examples which enrich our history. Patriotism in New York kindergartens was discussed by Isabella Charles Davis of New York. The Balch salute was rendered by a num- ber of little girls under the direction of Sarah C. Mink. The discussion of patriotic teaching was opened by Miss Mary Mesha of this city, who advocated more mingling of poetry with the teachings of fact. Rev. Anna Shaw of Penusylvania made a vigorous protest against women in the constitution. Miss Susan B. Anthony said that from a male standpoint there were forty-four stars on the American flag, which were waving through the hall, but there were only two stars for women, and she predicted thut within a de- cade her sex could clalm the remainding forty-two stars. The evening session was divided into two parts. The first was under the auspices of the Natlonal Association of Loyal Women of American Liberty. Mrs, I C. Manchester presided. WOMEN AND PATRIOTISM, “Tho Degree to Which Women Are Re- sponsible for Maintaining the Sentiment of Patriotism In Our Nation' was the subject of the first paper read by Mrs. Sarah de la Tetra of Washington. The second part of the evening was under control of tho Woman's Relief corps of the Grand Army of the Republic. Emma R. Wallace presdied. “The Story of the Flag" was told by Harriet L. Reed of Massachu- setts. She said a weman’s mind conceived and a woman's hand modeled the stars and strijes of the American flag, and continued ““to educate the children of the day In loy- alty and patriotism. The Flag Day association has established as flag day the 14th of June, and ask that this day be made a legal hol- iday. The 14,000 patriotis women that I have the honor to represent most heartily endorse this movement, Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood of Canton, 0., reviewed the revolutionary types of women of the republic, whom she held to be the direct heritors of the women of the rey- olution. “All talk of a new woman,” she said, “is a mere fable. There s no new woman. Without the blessed woman the world would be a howling wilderness, such as Dante saw and was afraid of.” Mery H. Krout of Chicago closed the pro- ceedings of the day with “Women as Pa- triot: PROVIDING FOR SUGAR BOUNTIES. ke on the Amendment Offerod to tho Sundry Clvil Appropriation Bl WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Senator Black- burn, on behalf of the committes on appro- priations, tcday ‘ntroduced an amendment to the sundry civil bill to provide for the pay- ment of the full bounty on the sugar pro- duced in 1893, and for the payment of elght- tonths of a cent per pound on the production of 1894. Tho amendment for the payment of the first class of claims carries an appropria- tion of $208,289, and is as follows: “That there shall be paid by the secretary of the treasury to the producers and manufacturers of sugar in the United States, from maple sap, beets, sorghum or sugar cane, grown in the United States, who compled with the provisions of the bounty laws as contained in schedules of the tariff act of 1890, a bounty of 2 cents a pound on all sugar test- ing not less than 90 degrees by the polari- ®cope, and 1% cents per pound on all sugars testing fless than 90 and not more than 80 degrees, manufactured and produced by them previous to the 28th of August, 1804, and upon which no bounty has previously been paid.” The provision for the payment cf a part of last year's bounty is that there shall be pald to these producers who complied with the McKinley bounty law by filng applica- tion for license and tho bonds required prior to July 1, 1894, and who would have been entitled to receive a license be unty of eight- tenths of a cent 4 pound on sugars actually manufactured and produced In the United States, testing not less than 80 rees, dur- ing the period of the flscal year ending Jun 80, 1895, comprised in the period commencing August 28, 1894, and ending June 30, 189 and for this purpose $5,000,000 s appropr ated. No bounty Is to be paid to any person engaged in refining sugars which have been imported into the United States or produced fn the United States upon which the bounty herein provided for has already been pa'd or applied for. The commissioner of internal Fovenuo is empowered to make regulations for tho payment cf the bounty and to employ two revenus agents, in addition to those al- reddy employed, for the transaction of the business, Wrote Lowe WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.—Chicago members ©of congress are not worried about the error in the Chicago’postoffice bill, which directs the secretary of the treasury®to sell the present building to the “lowest and best™ bidder, instead of the “highest and best.” Representative McGann says that the word i'best' would cure any defect caused by “lowest.”" To obviate any opportunity over the trouble, however, the delegation may de- cide to put an amendment In the sundry ©ivil bill, which contains an item relating to the building, or may offer a joiut resolution to cerrect the error. p Confirmed by the Senate.

Dr. Mil- chaplain of the =enate, A the session today with a fervid and excellent prayer extolling the public and private virtues of George Washington, who, he said, at home and with his neighbors on the broad stage of national life, showed stead- fast devotion to the interests of his country, subordinating his private wish and will to the good of the whole people Such a nroble example might well enter into the character of every American boy and exalt ur patriotism, making our n nal institu- tions the safeguard of all social, religious and private institutions A bill was passed donating econdemned can- non to the State Soldier's home at Rosebud, Ore. Mr. Quay, republican of Pennsylvania, pre sented a memorial from the Manufacturers’ club of Philadelphia, strongly urging that the cause of financial distress was the as- ault on the American protective system and indignantly protesting against the course of the president in borrowing money from a foreign syndicate. The memorial closed with an carnest appeal to senators and mem bers to so adjust the tariff duties as to over- come the distress of the treasury. Two house bills were passed amending the articles of regulation of the Y. A spirited contest arose over the construction of the bridge over the Delaware river, Phila- | delphia.

The amend- ment was sustained—yeas . nays 23. The effect of this was to do away with the house provision for the graded contract schools during the next five years. The Pettigrew amendment was defeated: s 13, nays 33. Mr. Lodge withdrew his amendment offered last night fixing three years as the limit for the abandoning of the contract schools instead of five year: With the changes made this makes a re- duction of 20 per cent from the expenditure last year, but leaves future congresses to make such further reductions as they sec fit. Mr. the establishment in the Indian territory. barbarous condition of aft civilized tribes, where an existed. Mr. Berry urged that a territorial form of government was the best remedy for the evils existing In the Indlan country. Train robbery and lawlessness of all Kinds, and the absorption of Indfan lands by a few persons constituted the main abuses, The discussion of conditions In the Ind'an territory lasted throughout the afternoon. Mr. Mills made a point of order against Mr. Morgan's amendment, cn the ground that it was new legislation, and being submitted to the senate, the amendment was declared not in order. Mr. Oal, in charge of the Indian bl sought to have a time fixed for a final vote. There were objections. “If this bill does not pass today or early tomorrow,” said Mr. Call, “then scme of the remaining large ap- propriation bills will certainly fail.” At this point Mr. Petiigrew of South Da- kota came forward with a most emphat'c objection. “It is understood,” said Mr. Pet- tigrew, “that a plan Is on foot to get this bill out of the way, and then take up the pooling bill at 3 o'clock tomorrow, and sit it out, even over Sunday. I want to say, here and now, distinctly, that the plan will not succeed if I can prevent it. And, what is more, the pooling bill cannot become a law it T can do anything to prevent. it, especially it cannot be passed on Sunday.” Mr. Petti- grew made his statement, with the evident consclousness that the senate rules permitted the oppositicn of one man to be very effect- Ive. This and the other objections prevented any time belng fixed for completing the In- dian bill. Mr. Call was willing to fix it at any time before adjournment tomorrow night, but Mr. Chandler " objected, and then, at 5:15, the senate went into executive session, and ten minutes later adjourned. appropriation bill was Morgan offered an amendment of a United States court He spoke of the s among the five armed vendetta for GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL. House Discussed Appropriations In Commi teo of the Whole. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—Four large American flags fluttered from the dome of the capitol today -in honor of Washington’s birth- day. The house wore a holiday aspect. A vast array of empty benches greeted the speaker when he called tho body to order at 11 o'clock, less than fifty members being present. On motion of Mr. Bynum, democrat of Indiana, the senate Jjoint resolution was adopted extending to Mexico the thanks of congress for the high honors paid to Isaac P. Gray, late United States minister to that country. The speaker announced the following ap- pointments: Visitors to the military acad- emy, Messrs. Wheeler of Alabama, Washing- ton of Tennesses and Milliken of Malne; visitors to the naval academy, Messrs. Sayers of Texas, Tate of Georgla and Hull of Towa. Mr. Martin, democrat of Indiana, chairman on committe2 of Invalid pensions, esked unanimous consent to extend the evening ses- sion (for the consideration of private bills) to 12 o'clock. Mr. Jones, democrat of Virginia, objected. The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the general deficiency appropriation bill. When the paragraph ‘relating to the eleventh census was reached Mr. Hepburn, republican of Towa, wanted to know when the reports of the last census were to be published Five years had elap:ed, he said, and yet but two of the twenty-six volumes had reached the public. Mr. Breekinridge, in charge of the bill, replied that all the material would be in the hands cf the printer by March 1, and the volumes would be published thereafter as rap- idly as_possible. Mr. Livingston, democrat moved to strike out the appropriation $120,000 for United States marshals' fees It precipitated soma discussion. Mr. Boatner criticized the appropriation on the ground that no specific lists of these fees had been furnished. Mr. Cannon, republican de- fended the appropriation. A large portion of this sum was to pay deputy marshals who were in Chicago on the occasion of the riots there a year ago. The amount of these fees could only be stipulated, he said, as vouchers were not transmitted to the De- partment of Justice until they were paid On motion of Mr. Boatner, republican of North Carolina, a provision was added to the paragraph requiring the attorney general to report to congress a list of the persons to whom this money should be pald and the amounts paid each. Gradually the discussion drifted into the question of the government taking a hand in suppressing the strike. Mr, Breckinridge expressed his apprehension that the doors were opening too wide when great corporations were allowed to go into the courts and secure protection for thelr property at great expense to the govern- ment Mr. Henderson, republican of Iowa, in an eloquent response, called attention to the resolution passed by congress after the presi- dent had sent troops to Chicago commending his action. The government, said he, must afford protection to interstate commerce and It must enforce the mandates of the courts. “I am glad,” said he, “to live in a country of Georgia, of Ulinois, then | of | The play is done the curtain drops, s falling 1o the prompter's bell; A moment yet the actress stops, around to say farewell.

Mary Anderson used to advise young stage struck girls to keep off the stage. The fev- erish excitement, the late hours, the drudg- ery of rehearsals, the unnatural stimulu: from new audiences, rivalry and applause, make the life full of perils to health of mind and body. The careless theater going public have no notion of the strain on the nerves that is inseperable from a dramatic career. But members of ‘“the profession” know what it is, and they have as a body, learned how best to keep their mnervous systems strong and capable of doing the hard work demanded of them. That s why Paine's cel- ery compound is so popular on the stage.

Mr. Livingston finally withdrew his motion to strike out the appropriation. Mr. Livingston offered an amendment to pay C. B. Payne, Charles Morgan, M. C, Mordecai and the Southern Steamship com- pany $17,510, for mail service rendered some years ago.

Dispensing with M ro OMcers. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The depart- mental joint committee, of which Dockery of Missouri 1s the head, reported a recommendation to abolish the office of so- licitor of internal revenue in the Treasury department, and to confer the dutles of that office on the secretary of the troasury. The committee also submiited a report upon proposed reforms in the matter of the examination of bonds of United States offi- clals. The report will lie over until th next congress, when Mr. Dockery propose to make it the basis of a bill effecting changes in the present system of bonding government officials. The committee also reported & recommendation made by the expert examiners, which, however, 1§ not endorsed by the commitiee, to abolish the offices of recelvers of land offices and sub- stitute therefor special land anspectors. May Adopt a substitute for Steel. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Senator Black- bury, fram the committee on naval affairs, today reported an amendment to the naval bill, authorizing the secretary cf the navy 40 use other m than steél or an alloy in the comstruction of the proposed new torpedo boats. The amendment 15 made atl the suggestion of the secrelary, who desires the department may be lofi frec to avall itsif of any improvements in | liberal accumulationd Mr. | naval construction, o far as relates to the materlal best adapted to the building of torpedo boats. He thinks an alloy lighter than steel may be used. PRESCRIBED HIS OWN MEDICINE, Congressman Springe York lanker's Suggestion WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.—The following correspondence, which explains itself, has passed between Willam P. St. John, presi- dent of the Mercantile National bank of New York, and Mr. Springer, chairman of the commitice on banking and currency. This first is a letter addressed by Mr. St. John to Mr. Springer, in which the former says: ““When before your honorable committee in December I commended the redemption of United States notes in gold only at that tme under the conditions then of extraordi- nary weakness of the treasury, I added that the United States was then (earlier) able to redeem greenbacks and notes in silver and laugh at such consequences. Under the pro- found conviction that the present condition of the treasury reserve and liberal accumulations of idle money in New York and other money centers afford together a new opportunity to do 50 safely, I write to beg you to ask the secretary Of the (reasury to exercise the option conferred upon him by law to redeem the United States netes in silver dollars, The treasury reserve is now composed of about §105,000,000 geld «@nd only about $15,- 000,000 of free silver, .If the secretary will instruct the treasuner and every assis treasurer of the United States to meet de mands for the redefptin of United States and treasury notes fn’ ptandard silver only and continue this faf, peasonable time, the achievement will bg b all details and in every respect a happy one and no more in- terest-bearing debt néed to be created, On the other hand if thé secretary of the treas- ury still neglects thi gpportunity the neglect may prove one more Just ground for fault- finding with his administration on public finance.” ) To this letter Mr! Springer replied: answer to your lettey rwrnnl me to say 1 am under the profound conviction that the present condition of ithe treasury reserye and £ lale money i New hew opportunity for Answer toa New York afford togethe you to exercise the'djgeretion conferred on you by law to pay allichecks at the bank of which you are president in standard silver dollars.” If you should pursue this course for a reasonable time the achievement would be in all detalls and in every respect a happy one.

It the bill fails now then be will proceed immediately to draw up a treaty for sub- lon to the senate creating an arbitration committee to adjust the claims. The United States will have no other course open than this, for we should be dishonored among na- tions if we failed to carry out the obliga- tions imposed upon us by our voluntary act in submitting the sealing question to the Paris arbitration. The Paris arbitration tribunal ruled out all claims for consequen- tial damages and allowed claims only where the vessels had actually been seized and where the crews were imprisoned. Even on this basis the claims amounted to nearly $1,000,000. Besides there were about two score men, officers and crews, of the selzed vessels, who suffered imprisonment, and their claims were compromised for about $18,000 by the agreement made by Secretary Gresham, The secretary belioves if all these claims are submitted to a committee for ad- Justment tho United States will fare much worse than under the terms of the treaty, ¥avors Incross the Navy. WASHINGTON, Feb. In the senate naval affairs committee a resolution was adopted by the unanimous vote of the eom- mittee recommending the increase of the navy as provided in the naval appropriation bill "as passed by the house. The action taken was merely as an expression on the part of the committee to the senate com- mittee on appropriations. The committee agreed 10 report an amendment to the naval bill for the appropriation of §100,000 for a dock yard at Mare island, and another pro- viding that officers of the navy detailed to shore duty shall receive sea pay while per- forming this duty. The latter amendment passed the senate as a part of the naval bill of last session, but was defeated in the house. 29 Negotiations Temporarily Suspended, WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Messrs. F. P, Sargent, chief of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Firemen, and B. E.
