Mfiklrjiili!i(Ni'b.)ulTirti as an amend
feiiMit to thikt nf Mel (an llmsugar bumy
provision of tlin McKinley liw,
Dikry (Mo.) offered as a snlwtttnto
for th amendments a ir'wiillin to
abolish the b unity on sugar and place
the raw nml rellned sugar oil t tin free
lilt.
Cannon (Bis ) supported Mr. MdKle
Jobn'i AtiiMii'l tniMit. Tho froi) sugar
claims of the McKinley bill liml aaved
the people of Hie country, rich mid poor
like, iiiinuiilly from f 1 to (1.35 por
capita.
Breckinridge (Deiu,, Ark ) supported
the bounty proviKion of the Wilson bill.
Sugar In the McKinley law wan only
free up to No. 10, Dntch standard.
There were two woys of determining
the grade of sugar, by color or by quan
tity of saccharins matter. The Mc
Klnley law bad accepted tho color test.
Sugar, under No. 10 Dutch standard,
wan not used on the American table.
Above that standard the McKinley law
placed a duty of oent per pound Thin
duty was reduced in the Wilson b 11 to
4 cent. Hugar was freer under this b. 11
than under the McKinley law.
Prince (Dam,, La.) then took tho floor
nd made the principal speech in behalf
of the Louisiana sugar interests, llar
ter (Dom,, O.) was recognized at thin
point and offered a inbstitute for the
proposa l amendments, that of Mr. Dock
ery having been withdrawn to abolish
the bounty and substitute a duty of 1
cent per pound to In tnerousnd to 'i cents
from such conutrieH hh levied an export
duty.
Gv Otiar mi Ovation.
dear (Hep , la ) rose from his Meat and
wan recognized at tlin conclusion of the
reading of Ha' tor's atnetidinent, At
tho clialr recognize I him, .be Republican,
lido broke into cheer, which were
quickly laken up on the Democratic
side and fur several moments I tie dem
onstration continued. Mr. dear offered
an amendment to make a reduction of
the bounty beginning in 1HSW Instead of
1 Wi'B, He explained the ITect of the
free sugar and sugar bounty provisions
of Ihu McKinley bill. Free sugar, be
laid, saved I he t ample of the country
1170.000,000, and had Increased the eon
luttiptlon of sugar from 50 to 01' pound
por capita.
Bryan (Doin,, Neb ), in support of the
bounty provision of tho Wilson bill, de
nied the right of any congress to bind
future congresses, The Fifty first con
gress could not bind congrfm f.jr 10
year to continue the bounty, If it
could, it could have bound congress for
100 years. At a matter of fact be
doubted whether tho Fifty-first congress
could raise a moral obligation of any
kind. Laughter, Instead of replac
ing the duty on sugar, and thus taxing
the consumer of sugar In thn United
8talas, ho favored giving the people the
benefit of free sugar and ruining the
revenue from an income tax.
At this point, on motion of Turner
(Dem tin.), tho committee rose utid tho
speaker laid before the bouse the special
message of the president, transmitting
additional Hawaiian correspeodonco.
At the request of Mr, Dlogley tho cor
respondence was read. The speaker or
dered tho message and accompanying
document referred to the committee on
foreign affairs and to be prlnlol,
Jliiiitnlla Is lUthnr I'xraUtnnt.
Mr. lloutello got recognition on a point
of order and In an Impassioned speech
declared it whs not apparent the gov
ernment was engaged in fomenting in
surrection in a country with which we
re at peace.
"I submit," said bo, In stentorian
ton "that the house has three times
been notified H e administration is on
gaged In inciting liisutrociloii ami revo
lution in Hawaii and that it. Is our duty
to express the disapproval of congress in
that policy, I cannot conceive that the
speaker will interpose bis will between
the house and Its imperative duty."
I5y this time the Democrats had
crowded down the aisles and were In a
high slate of excitement, Hutch (Dom.,
Mo.) loudly demanding that Unutolln's
words lie taken down. This, under tho
rules, forces the member called to order
to imui"dmtoly take bis seal. The
speaker accordingly ordered lloutello to
bis seat, but the hitter went on talking.
Again tho speaki r called hl attention to
the rule.
"All right," retutod Molilalia,
antly, without showing any disposition
to comply with It,
"The trouble with the gentleman Is,"
said tho speaker, slowly and deliberate
ly, "that he repeatedly violates the rules.
The sergeant-at-arms will see that the
gentleman takes bis seat,"
The deputy sergeant promptly took his
mace and started toward B mlolle, who
quietly took his seat as the latter ap
proach, The Democrat applujdud
loudly as be sat down,
The rule was then read, and Immedi
ately afterward thn speaker recognized
Mr, Wilson for a motion to go into com
mittee of the whole for the further
consideration of the tariff bill. On
division, Mr. Boutolle made the point of
no quorum. The sienkor, in accordance
with the custom, appointed Boutolle and
Wilson tsllers.

Mr. Warner (1) in., N, V.) offered an
amendment to .Mr, Robertson's substi
tute to place refined sugar on the free
list, Ho said (Ids amendment was to
remove the last remnant of protection
from the pen ling bill,
lb Simpson (1'op , Kan.) declared that
the free sugar given by the McKinley
law furnished the best example of what
a removal of the onerous protective
duties would do for tlie consumer.
llainer (Hop., Neb.) advocated the re
tention of th't pr neat b unity an 1 M at
ner (Deiu., L i.) In concluding the debate
for the sugar men insisted the traditions
of the Democratic party were opposed
to a reveniM duty. Had Louisiana im
agined, he said, that her great industry
was to be stricken djwn, her vole would
not have been given to Cleveland at the
lust election,
Mr, Payne said he was opposed to the
restoration of the sugar duty because it
whs a tax on the breakfast table, He
defended the bounty provision of the
McKinley law.
Mr. Wilson concluded the debate in
advocacy of the bounty provi-dou of tho
ponding bill,
Melklejohii's Aiiimiiliiinnt Lost,
Tho first vole was taken on Mr,
Meiklejohu'i amendment to the substi
tute for Mr, McKne's amendment to
ab dish tho sugar bounty, tho provi
sions of the McKinley law relating to
tho bounty. This was defeated without
division by a strict party vote.
The vote then recurred upon an
amendment offered by Mr, Price to
amend Mr. Hatter's substitute, placing
a duty of 1 cent pur pound on sugar
below 10 Dutch standard and abolishing
the sugar oounty by inserting the pro
vision of Mills bill, which levied a duty
on sugar not above li) Dutch standard of
1 1-10 per cent, and it was carried by an
overwhelming majority, 13) to 09. This
uction abolishes the bounty on sugar.
The vote was then taken on tho amend
ment to section 181, proUdlng for a duty
on refined sugar. Mr. Hobortson's
amendment providing for a duty of from
1 1-10 cents per pound upward on sugars
testing, by the polarscopio tost, not
above 73 degree was offered as the first
amendment. To this Mr, Warner (N,
Y.) offered the amendment to place re
fined sugar, dutiable in the bill at i
cent, on the free list, and ufter a long
parliamentary discussion as to tho status
of pending amendments, it hoing claimed
by the Louisiana members that a mis
understanding existo I regarding the rul
ing of the chair. My unanimous couient
Mr, Breckinridge (Ky.) was allowed to
ollu' a sul a Ituto for these two amend
ments, placing a uniform duty of 1 cent
per pound upon all sugars below Jo,
Dutch standard,
. The vote was first taken uponMr,
Warner's amendment to the amend
ment, to abolish the duty on refined
sugar, and again tho radical Democrats
secured another signal victory, the He.
publicans declining to vote. By a vote
of 1U7 to 63 the duty on refined sugar
was abolished,
The substitute of Mr, Breckinridge,
which win voted on next, was defeated
by a vote of Mi to 07. The Hepublicans
declined to aid those of the Democraia
who were imuktng to place a duty upon
sugar by voting with tho radical Demo
crats. The Democratic supporters of
the Breckinridge unnm linont were un
able to secure enough followers to order
tellers, At this juncture, amid great
confusion, tho time came to take the
final rote upon Mr, Hobortson's amend
ment as amended by Mr. Warner's
aiiieiidmi'tit,
ltiulillnaiis lines ih llllnrliun,
A great deal of miiunderslauding ex
isted upon the floor as to what the ef
fect of the adoption of tho amended
proposition would mean, The Republi
cans were lilariously joyful at the
tangle Into which they had gotten the
Democrats, Mr, Payne shouting if the
proposition was adopted it would have
the incongruous cdfect of placing raw
sugar on the dutiable list and roflued
sugar on the free list,
Mr. Richardson, who wan in the chair,
was apmlod to in vain to state the ef
fects of the adoption of the pending
amendment. So much misunderstand
ing existed even among tho most skillful
parliamentarians on both sides that. Mr.
Wilson finally decided, amid great con
fusion, to move the committee risu to
give every one u chance to examine
over night into the parliamentary situa
tion and at 0:110 tho committee rose and
the house recetsud until 8 o'clock,
At tho night session the following
members spoke: Drookshire ,'Deni,,
Ind,), McCrearv (Dem., Ky.), (loldier
(Dom., Bis.), Bioderick (Rep,, Kun.),
Hilbern (Rep., Cal.), and Avery (Rep.,

left let'ords of Invasions by Mesopol
Hiliins, Moabtlee.l'aiisaiiltes, Mldisiiit
and Philistines, they do not mention
any Invasion by the Pgyptlaiis, and Ihe
conclusion Is that Ihu Israelites were
imt sell led on the west aide of the Jor
dan till after the wsts waged by Hsui
csis II at the romiiieiioehioiit of bis
reign, which began not earlier than
HISH B. C, or, us some now say, l'Juil
B. C.
It has been attempted to explain this
dinicully away by suggesting that llam
csi'S II kept closn to tho seacoast ou bis
march through Palestine and did not
strike Inland till hu was sumo distance
to tho north of the Israelites, but it is
Itiooneolvuldo that bn should not have
secured bis long lino of communications
by establishing posfN so far inland that
they must have been brought Into con
tact with tho Hebrews if llui latter bad
at that time been settled in their own
country.

The new sHnwo of psychology will
determine I be mental laws exactly tho
laws of tho individual and of society;
tho laws of (esthetics, of education, of
ethics and of every human faculty.
It will compel men to llvo by those
laws, because it will inako Hiein plain
to all men as plain ns tho law of grav
ity. The world will then go forward
because It will see how, We shall then
have a higher manhood, because its
typo will bo dear to us, Wo shall
havo ri new ni t and a now literature, be
cause wnshull know the secrets of beau
ty, Its standards shall bo broader in
proportion as they shall be truer. We
may then efficiently lovo our unfortu
nate brother by knowing how to make
him lovable, and how to make life lov
able to him. Psychology will seciiro
to mini wealth and nit, wisdom and
happiness, by making man capable of
them, Psychology will make education
the chief function of government by
giving education a scope heretofore un
conceived of, McCluru's Magazine.

"The strangest test of will poworand
endurance over mndo,"sabl F, D, Gort
snuls of tho City of Mexico, at the
Koiithern, "was in Mexico, the charac
ters being a Mexican girl nnd an Amer
ican man. They wore lovers, and the
girl's parents refused their consent to
tho union, Insisting that she should
marry n wealthy Mexican suitor. At
tho suggestion of tho girl they agreed
to din together, and to test the strength
nnd endurance of each other' love
tbrry ohoso a w'J of stdcrsV utvllko
any ever drou?! at before. Food
and fruit wore plannd on a tabid In the
confer of a room, occupied by both, the
girl having escaped from her home, but
being unwilling to olopo with her lover.
It was agreed that they should starve
to death with plenty before them, and
should either succumb to nature and
parte kn of tho food then both were re
leased from the bond of death, but there
should beau everlasting separation. For
13 days they endured tho pangs of hun
ger without u murmur or a thought of
wavering from their purpose to die to
gether. The twelfth day tho father of
tho girl discovered her whereabouts,
and breaking the door they wont car
ried out, too faint to si and alone. It
took them several days to recover their
strength, and when they did they were
man led. This is a true statement, nnd
the American Is living with his Mex
ican wife today." Ht, Louis (Hobo

Within tho last few years numbers of
forgeries of extremely rare coins In the
British museum nnd in private collec
tions havo been sold by auction in Lon
don, Ho good Is their execution that it
seems probable that means havo been
devised for casting steel dies on plaster
casts or of hardening electrotypo dies.
Tho mimufact uro of rare "siege pieces, "
carried on In one of our midland towns,
shows a far lower amount of skill.
When gemmm but defaced coins ore
rostruck with now impressions, it Is
very diflloult to discover the fraud.
Homo genuine ancient coins aresurfrap
pecs In this manner as, for Instance,
whole class of Jewish coins which are
struck ou Roman silver denarii. But
when the Imago and superscription of
William III can bo discerned underly
ing the device on a rare crown piece of
Elizabeth the question of its authentic
ity Is soon solved. Longman's Maga

Tho law of tho jungle, which never
orders anything without a reason, for
bids every beast to eat man except when
ho is killing to show his children how
to kill, and then be must bunt outside
the hunting grounds of his puck or
tribe, Tho real reason for this Is that
man killing means, sooner or later, the
arrival of white men on elephants, with
guns, and hundreds of brown men with
gongs and rockets and torches. Then
everybody in tho jungle suffers. Tho
reason tho beasts glvo among them
selves Is that man Is the weakest and
most defenseless of all living things,
and it is unsportsmanlike to touch htm,
They say, too and It is true that man
eaters becomo mangy and loso their
teeth. Rudyurd Kipling in St. Nich

It seems that somo 180,000 persons
