WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING.
J'riirepcllng" of Our Nutlntutt I.uwiimknra
from I)y to Day In Cniiilnnalut I'iirra
Ilt-solutlon unit Hill.
Senator Turner (Wash.) made a state
ment In the senate on the 21st that ho
had heard that concession! for Bold mln
itiB In the bed of the sea near Nome,
Alaska, had been granted by tho secre
tary of war and ho moved a resolution of
Inquiry Into tho matter which was agreed
to. The nddltlonal urgent deficiency bill
was then passed, ...The house debated the
Loud bill relating to second-class matter
In the malls. Mr. Lsino (la.), Introduced
it bill providing for an exposition at St.
Louis In 1W)3 to eclebrato the 100th anni
versary of tho purchase of tho Louisiana
territory. Mr. Dlnsmoro (Ark.) Intro
duced a resolution requesting Information
from the secretary of state concerning
tho alleged Iirltlsh opening of correspond
ence addressed to Charles Macrum, lato
United StnteH consul In South Africa.
Almost the entire session of tho senato
on the 22I was spent in tho discussion
of tho conference report upon the Puerto
Illcnn appropriation bill. Senator Cock
rell (Mo.) Introduced a bill for an expo
sition at St. Louis In 1W3 to commemorate
the Louisiana purchase. It appropriates
JS.OOO.OOO to tho exposition.... Tho house
recommitted the Loud bill relating to second-class
mall matter by a vote of 148
to DC, with 10 present and not voting. It
Is unlikely that the hill will appear again
this session. Mr. Fitzgerald (Mass.) In
troduced a bill allowing $.V) to the family
or representatives of a soldier dying In
tho service and $100 to the family of an
ofllcer dying under similar circumstances
to cover the funeral expenses of the de
ceased. The senate on the 23d ndopted tho con
ference report on the Puerto Klcau relief
bill by a vote of 35 to 15, practically a
Htrlct party expression. The time of dis
cussion was consumed principally by
Senator Tillman (S. C), who made a
fierce attack upon the measure. A num
ber of private pension bills and a meas
ure to prevent dangers to navigation
from rafts on the Pacific ocean wcro
afterwards passed Tho house passed
142 pension bills. The conference report
on the Puerto Ulean appropriation bill
was then presented by Mr. Gannon. lie
asked for Immediate action, but It was
tlnally arranged to take a vote tho next
day.
A measure was passed In the senato on
tho 21th providing for tho appointment
by the president of a commission to In
vestigate the trade and commerce of the
orient with a view to tho extension of
American commerce. Senator Fairbanks
(Ind.) presented a resolution accepting
n statue of Oliver P. Morton from the
stnte of Indiana, and providing that It
bo placed In statuary hall. It was agreed
to.. ..After a spirited debate the houso
took tho last congressional step In com
pleting the Puerto Itlcan relief bill, agree
ing to the conference report by a vote of
137 to S7. Tho bill turns over to tho pres
ident, for tho use of Puerto Rico, over
J2.0OO.0OO of tho customs receipts collected
on Puerto Rlcan goods. A bill was
passed appropriating J10.000 for designs
ror a suitable memorial In Washington
to Ulyssus S. Grant.
Senator Foraker (O.) announced in the
senate on tho 2Gth that ho would press
the Puerto Ulean bill to a vote as soon as
possible. Senator Uanna donounced as
a "malicious lie" tho published statement
that he had said that tho passage of the
Puerto Rlcan tariff bill would be In pur
suance of n deal which would bring lit
big contributions to tho republican cam
paign fund. The Alaskan civil code was
then taken Tip.... The house considered
the arrny appropriation bill, but tho de
bate was without any notable Incidents.
Mr. Hldgely (Kan.) opposed a permanont
Increase of tho army as prejudicial to
the country's best Interests. Mr. Al
drlch (Ala.) Introduced a bill for estab
lishing a diplomatic and civil service col
lege near Washington. Pension bills, to
tho number of 140, were favorably acted
upon.
An AiiiitrW'fiti diatom.
Nothing1 is more incomprehensible
to Europenn waiters than the Ameri
can custom of eating boiled eggs from
n glass. Senator Cliauncey Depew
likes to follow the American custom,
and ones day n waiter at the Hotel de
Itusse, in Paris, told him that lie
must not do it. There was n dispute
and the head waiter was called. "The
glasses cannot be properly washed,"
he exclaimed. "They are ruined."
"Nonsense," said Mr. Depew. "My
servants at home do it every day in
the year." Then Mr. Depew broke
his egg1 into the glass as usual and the
waiter watched him. When the glass
was set aside he came with a dustpan,
cracked the glass on his boot heel
and disappeared with the fragments.
The charge for the glass was put on
Mr. Depew's bill, and lie refused to
pay it. lie was too good a customer
to offend, so the hotel people smiled.
They knew that Mrs. Depew was go
ing to remain a week longer and they
put the glass in her bill, and she paid
it. When Mr. Depew found that out
he also smiled, but in n different way.

"I am sorry to disappoint you,
young man," said the great railway
magnate to the reporter who had
called in for the purpose of writing
him up, "but I did not begin at tho
bottom and work my way tip. I
never blacked the boots of the engine
wipers and never carried beer for the
janitor of the roundhouse. I was
kicked through college by my fntlier,
inherited a fortune, which 1 invested
in railroad shares, and 1" hold this job
because I have votes enough to con
trol it. It is too bad, my young
friend, but we can't all be self-made
men. We would become tiresome."
And he bowed the called out. Chicago

that which would be felt by mounting
a stool placed on n springless cart
driven over a plowed Held. 1 found
it all thnt, and more. Next to walk

tho worst degradation they can put
