tho oeniito concluded its discussion of
tho railroad ruto bill in committee of
tlio wholo and, as soon as that provi

tation, is that tlio pass question will bo
disposed of early tomorrow, and tho
Kcnornl liopo la that tho bill may bo

was spont in dlscuRsing tho eighth sec

nel of tho Interstate Commerce com
mission, resulting, in tho elimination
of tho entire scctlnn and tho restoration
of tho prosont law, which provides for
flvu couimlBslonorB atMilariesof $7,600.
Washington, May 15. Tho IIouso
by a decidod voto today reaffirmed its
faith In tho Navy dopartmunt, defeat
ing an amendment of Tawney, chair
man ol the appropriations committee,
to limit tho expenditures on a ship to
10 per cent ol tho cost, a votu of con
lldonco coming after two hours' hot
debate. Having reached the flection of
tho naval bill dealing with increase
in tho Navy and, realizing that conoid
orablo debate must onsuo, tho house ad
iourncd until noon tomorrow.
Tawnoy was emphatic in declaring
that it was both bad policy and bad ad'
ministration to give to tho Navy do
partment tho right of spending fll,
000.000 for repairs of vranola without
bo much ah being compelled to glvo an
account to any ono for tho monoy ex
ponded.
Monday, May, 14.
Washington, .May 14. Tho session
of tho aonato today paised without an
exciting incident and without the adop
tion of a slnglo amendment to tho rail'
road rate bill, notwithstanding that
measure was under consideration prac
tically nil tho tlmo from tho hour of
convening, 11 o'clock, until adjourn
incut at 6:15 p tn. The most charac
teristic feature of tho day was the ro
lection of Amendments. This was ac
comnlishod either by direct voto or by
tho process of iayini? on tho tablo and
ono followed another in rapid eucce
fllon.
Among tho provisions thus adversely
disposed of woro several intended to tlx
tho liability of railroad companies for
injury to omployes. Tlio presentation
of provisions intended to accomplish
this purpose had tho effect of bringing
out a practically authoritative state
ment that the committee on interstate
commurco will roport tho independent
house bill on that unmeet which Is now
ponding beforo it.
Washington, May 14. Tho house
had under consideration today bills re
lating to tho government of tlio District
of Columbia. It completed the Dills
reorganizing th Washington public
flchool system, then adjourned in tlio
absence of a quorum, postponing action
on tlio bills undor consideration.
Thcflo bills will bo taken up tomorrow.

their right to be in the United States
be questioned they havo little to show
legal residence, ror months to come
any Chinese who has a possible know
ledgo of English and American customs
will claim on arrest that his certificate
was destroyed in San Francisco. The
problems that now confront the immi
gration officials are practically endless.
Tho registration now in effect waa
mado 12 years ago. The Chineso claim
that this was imporfect and in some
respects on a wrong basis.

8LlIeC of 4e
Victoria,
n Kevlf a century 522
eroes wKo faced deetfk ia
joctile erf terrible odds Have
jeen decorated by Englcmdi
fnonarcH
The golden jubilee of the Institution
of the famous Victoria Cross has re
eontly been observed in Great Britain
The most thrl'Ilng romances fall to
equal the true stories of how the cross
has been won. To the present 522
awards to officers and men In the varl
ous branches of the military nnd navaj
services have been made. It Is per
haps the only personnl decoration In
the world that has been awarded to
dead heroes, for It Is a matter of rec
ord that In a dozen cases, nt least, the
Inspiring crosa hns been, won nt the
cost of llfo itself. In such Instances
tho hero is gazetted nnd the cross Is
given to his family.
There U little to admire In the deco
ration Itself. Its very plainness and
simplicity, however, seem compatible
with the modest heroism It signifies,
Tho cross measures one and one-fifth
Inches square, weighs about 431 grains
and Is of bronze, being cast from cannon
captured by the British at Sebastopol.
It Is nttnehed by a V to a bar, upon
which Is n sprig of laurel. On the
obverse side tho royal crown, surmount
ed by a Hon, occupies tho center, with n
scroll underneath bearing the words,
"For Valour." The revorso Is quite
plain, with an Indented circle In tho cen
ter, In which the dnto or dates of tho
net of bravery are engraved. At the
back of the bar Is the name of the re
cipient, nnd the wholo Is suspended by
n ribbon blue for tho navy, red for
the army. Tho warrant establishing
tho decoration authorizes a bar to bo
nttaehed to tho ribbon for nny further
net of conspicuous bravery on tho part
of tho owner of tho cross, but, It Is
stated, no such bar has ever yet been
Issued. It might bo of Interest to
noto that tho Intrinsic vnluo of tho
llttlo badge Is said to bo four pence
ha'penny, or nbout nine cents.
At the tlmo Queen Victoria found
ed tlio decorntlon by her royol war
rant of Jan. 29, lSSO, tho Crimean war
was being fought with much tenacity.
Tho poet laureate, Tennyson, had mado
famous tho chargo at Bnlaklava In his
memorable drnmntlc stanzas. Tho dis
patches from tho front related In of.
llclal language many deeds of signal
bravery under terrific flro both In tho
army and navy. Tho Queen's war
rant relates that "taking Into our royal
consideration that thero exists no
menus of adequately rownrdlng tho in
dividual gallant services either of ofil
cors, of tho lower grades In our nnval
nnd military service, or of warrant and
potty officers, seamen nnd marines In
our navy, and noncommissioned officers
and soldiers In our army," etc, tho uew
decoration Is Instituted.
Tho Vlctorln cross is, as may bo no
ticed, an exceedingly democratic Insti
tution It Is practically open to overy
Brltou who, while fighting enemies of
the Crown, displays distinguished brav
ery and heroism. Tho private may ob
tain It as well as the commander of a
regiment; It has been awarded to n,
stoker on n British Ironclndt Several
fear admirals today wear the llttlo
Maltese cross on their breast, and three
field mnrshals In the British army aro
proud of the dull decoration, which is
conspicuous even among tho Jeweled
orders and dazzling decorations of
greater pretensions "which give an air
of distinction to their wearers on fullr
dress occasions.
To the private soldier, sailor and
noh-commlssloned officer of both serv
ices who wins the cross thero Is sub
stantial benefit, as well as glorious dis
tinction. A special pension of ten
pounds, or about $50 a year, nccompftii
les the nward, and if the wearer of a
Victoria Cross becomes Incapacitated
by reason of Illness or ago he may
draw a special pension of fifty pounds
or nbout $250. Of the 522 officers and
men who have been decorated with tho
ci ess, some 200 odd are alive.
HOW TO TELL A BAD RAIL.
Dim
Mctnllursints Mny Now Find
fectH lr Aid of MlcroNcope.
In his article on tho. anatomy of n
steel rail In Harper's Mncaziuc II. O.
Boynton tells of the way in which de
fects in Bteel rails are discovered by
tho use of the microscope.
"How then," says the layman, "can
you tell If that was a good or a bad
rail?" Then comes tho microscope,
that simple instrument which hns re
vealed so ninny wonders. It now per
mits the metallurgist to study tho anat
omy of so apparently lifeless n thing
as a piece of steel.
With a vertical Illuminator or kind
of reflector which takes the light rays
from any source and bonds them
through a right angle, nnd then per
mits the observer to look through It
down on to tho polished surface of
metal equipped with such a reflector
attached to an ordinary microscope nnd
with n number of different lenses call
ed objectives and eyepieces, the metal
lurgist can look nt his piece of rail
under a linear magnification of forty
to n thousand diameters. This means
that If a spot measuring ono-hundredth
of an Inch across bo maguiflcd 100
diameters, the original spot would np
pear to tho eye of the observer ono Inch
in diameter.
Can you conceive of anything In that
rail that could escape tho trained eye
when under n magnification of 1,000
diameters? It would haw to bo mora
elusive than tho tiny gorms which med
ical men look for ns tho cause of most
of our contagious diseases, than tho
500,000 bncterln In n cubic centimeter
of tho ordlnnry milk wo drink.
