Bni : . ] Senator ICclper's resolution dis
pensing with the services of the sifting com
mittee was summarily disposed of In the scn
ate this morning , notjiowovcr , without giv
ing a number of the senators nn opportunity
to nlr themselves on the subject. A motion
was made to lay the resolution on the table.
Senator Beck sala bo wns opposed to the
silting committee , but ir tnat body nnd kept
back nny Important bills It wns too late to
remedy it now , and ho moved to table the
resolution.
Senator CbrlstolTorsoii said whllo ho had
: iot made exorbitant demands of tbo comtnlt-
eo In question , ho had been treated by it
ivitti the utmost courtesy. Ho was gratified
to sco that tbo committee wns composed of
some of the oldest and most experienced
members , nearly all of whom had served
tjoforo In the legislature. A vote to dls-
ponso with their services would bo an
usult to thorn would , In fact , say to
: hem that they were not capable of transact-
aa the business for which they bad been ap-
mlnted. It wns apparent to him that those
who favored dispensing with the services of
this committee had commenced to rcnllzo
that it mndo u great deal of difference whoso
ox was gored.
Senator Collins thought to dispense with
the sifting committee nt this time would bo
a mistake. There was n lurgo number of
bills on general lllo. Among tticm were the
appropriation measures. Unless tbo lllo was
sifted , these bills would bo snowed under
unless tho.v could secure n. two-thirds vote.
Senator Dysart said ho had not voted for
the appointment of the sifting commltco.
That body had boon sprung upon the inde
pendents. There was no necessity for such
a committee. One hundred men hau been
sent to the house of representatives and
thlrty-thrco to the scnato. It was their duty
to pass upon nil bills presented. It was auto
cratic , anarchistic mid savoring of the work
of the czar of Russia to give seven men the
power the others should exercise. Tlio sift
ing : committee wns sifting only the chaff and
paying no attention to the wneat. It wns re
porting bills for which ho would not glvolO
cents a dozen. The only wny to get the good
bills was to do away with the committee.
The chair hero ruled that hereafter , in ex
plaining his vote , no senator would bo al
lowed to discuss tbo question.
Senator Koiper said that In voting for the
sifting committee ho old not think ho was
surrendering his independence ] .
Senator Kandnll wns opposed to tabling
the resolution. There wns no bill before the
committed in which ho wns specially inter
ested. The committee , however , wus'smoth-
orinpr bills which tbo people demanded. Ho
wanted to know if seven men ought to bo
permitted to transact tbo business of 133
nion. The vote resulted as follows :
Yeas Beck , Brown , Chrlsloffcrson , Col

nic.j : The house has a rule forbidding
smoking on the lloor , and about every ten
minutes during the day some member calls
on the chair to enforce the rule. Ouo of
these periodical pleas this afternoon nearly
brought on iirow , which was only averted by
the prompt dissolution of the session.
Tbo house was in comniittco of the
whole with Schnppoi in the chair ,
when Porter of Jlerrlck demanded the
enforcement of tlio anti-smoking rulo. A
number of gentlemen were puftlng cigars ,
anil tne chair directed the scrgoant-at-arms
to stop the smoking.
Oalo of Brown , n little follow with the grit
and pugnacity of a bantam , Jumped to his
feet und made an appeal to the houso. The
federal constitution , ho said , guarantees
every citizen the right to life , liberty and
happiness. Ho had used tobacco for n "groat
many years , nud it was absolutely necessary
to his happiness. Ho rested upon the consti
tutional guarantee In his right to smolco.
Ttio chulr announced that the rule would
ho enforced , and tlicro followed a wordy tilt
between the two gentlemen , amid shouts of
encouragement and of derision.
Oakley of Lancaster arose to asic a qucs
tlon of CJalo , and when that excited gentle
man was calmed enough to give permission
Oakley , holding uo a cigar , suld :
"Will the gentleman furulsh mo with n
light ! "
"Yes , sir , " was the prompt response , and
Onlo marched acrossod the room.
Oakley's apparent delhtnco of the chair
man and the sergeanl-at-arms do/od the
house , which watched him light , his Havaunn
irom Gale's , amid comparative silence , but
when Oakloy laid his cigar aside the assem
bly roared at his action as a good Joko.
A sympathizer of Unlo's nused the point
that , being in commltteo of tlio wholo. Chair
ooiinppui nau uo power to enforce tno
rulo. At that moment n message , from the
senate was announced , nud Shradcr , speaker
pro tern , sprang to the chair to give it a
proper ofllciul reception. Porter seized the
opportunity to demand the enforcement 01
the rule , nnd Shrndor ordered the sergeant-
at-arms to Gale cut of
put the room If ho per
sisted lu smoking.
Two sergeants seized Oalo , one by either
arm , and proceeded to march him out. A
sconu of wild disorder followed. Members ,
lobbyists , pages and clam Joined in a mac
rush for Gale's sldo. Shouts and motions
mingled in ono grand cnorus.Vliild Onlo
was being dragged out ho ycllod repeatedly :
"I appeal from the decision of the chair ! "
But his volco was lost in the pandemonium ,
and the speaker wiu busy adding to the
racket by pounding kin dwk and calling for
onlor ,
The situation was somewhat critical
Speaker Klder , attracted by the noise , came
to the chair. Church Ilowo , with one of his
inspirations , gruspod the situation nnd movec

Insisted , nnd a little Unot of representatives

This action released that gentleman from

ng February , and therefore- were not notified
of the conference. The Alton with Its usual
autton hold aloof from tbo meeting. Vlco
Chairman Donald of thu Central Trafficas -

resorts of Colorado. ' Lying at the foot of
I'iko's Peak and at1 tuo entrance ) of the
Garden of thQ.Goda , Itiiavites the tourist and
sight seer to the most remarkable formations
and the grandest itnu .mem iileturosquo
scenery of that rugged range. Its mineral
springs and pure air give now life to the de
bilitated. The Plko's Peak railroad , a
marvel of engineering skill , conveys pisson-
gers to the very summit of the lofty old
mountain. From the tou of Plko's Peak all
the great mountain peaks of Colorado nro
distinctly visible , while to tbo east Its treo-
lined avenues at right angles , looking like a
checker board in the distance , lies the pretty
little city of Colerado Springs and beyond
the great plains of eastnm Colorado. A
volume could bo written , indeed volumes
have been written , of the glories of Manitou
and Piito'a Peak.
A ticket covering this tour is offered for the

There is no American tour which combines
a greater variety of scenery and a wider In
terest to the traveler than ono from Omaha
to San Francisco nnd Los Angeles , Calu.

tlio queen city of the Rockies ; Salt Lake , tbo
/Aon of Mormondom ; Sau Francisco , the

Jewels of rarest water.
Thosenro all prosperous cities ; they are
all beautiful cities ; they are all wonderful
cities. Each Is remarKable for some particu
lar reason. No two of them are
alike In attractions and no traveler
can afford missing to sco each and
all. In tbo month ! * of Juno , July , August
and September the prairies of Nebraska , the
Kooky mountains , the valleys of Utah .and
the great Sierra range nro seen to tbo best

Wnllaln , The Evil Queen in Ilanlon'a "Su-
porbn" company durluir the week , knovv that
the queen was Miss MlldroJ Holland of Chicago
cage , who is considered the most export lady
with the foils or broadswords in this coun
try.
try.Miss
Miss Holland Is n graduate from thn school
of Colonel Monstorcy or Chicago , one of tbo
greatest fencers In the xvorld. Of late she
has used her foils but little , principally on
account of ill health and her dramatic worlr ,
which occupies nearly all her time. But at
any rate she has the record of never having
been defeated.
For the benefit of the gentler sox Miss Hoi-
laud consented to glvo some measurements ,
which may aid the young Indies in under
standing the superflciallv muscular effect of
fencing , nud the sort of physical woman nny
L-lrl might bo by devoting half an hour or so
each day to practicing with the slender , glit
tering blades.
"To begin with , " said the little actress , "I
am 5 foot I ! Inches tall , upper arm tense ll1
forearm tense lik ? inches , waist 24 Inches
o-vor clothing , size of glove 0. } , and a No. 3
shoo. "
Even with the measurements horu given
ono can scarcely form n correct Idea of the
effect produced on this woman by tills exor
cise. f'ressod In a dainty fencing skirt with
a shining blade In her nnnd Miss Holland's
movements are as rapid as they are graceful.
miss uoiinnu is uiupruuu | H : ii mirui iwu
elegant gold medals , ono of which she has
defended against all 0011101-3 , male or fei.nlo.
lu a conversation upon the subject of
ladies font-ing Miss Holland said : "Fencing
Is un excoilen duster for nny cobwebs that
linger around the brain. U'lion I am tired
with study I take tunny foils nnd masks and
look for nil opponent. In n few minutes 1
am in condition again with steady nerves and
clear brain. "
A she said this her big brown eyes flashed
as though it was the most natural thing in
the xvorld for a xvomaii to bo familiar with
the use of broadsxvords nnd foils.
"You cannot fence without a clear brain , a
quickoyo , a steady wrist , and when you can
gain such n condition by a two or three min
ute bout with harmless swords , you have an
Invnlunblo red no forhoulth. "
' No woman that fences , " said she , "will
wear a tight waist or corset , for when ono
has once enjoyed the freedom of arms und
legs given hv the fencing costume , the re
strictions o'f fashionable dross becomes
almost , unbearable.
"Feel my ir.usclo , " said Miss Holland , as
tlio interviewer arose to go. As the request
came from a pretty woman It could not , tif
cour.40 , bo iioclmed Tbo muscles were found
to be ns linn as steel when tense and as soft
us nny woman's arm when relaxed.
Miss Holland Is mi enthusiast on the art of
fencing nnd think * nil women would bo bot-
tur for such kind of exorcise.
