There ia dllllcluty in this work, ho said, and there is danger, too, hut Ita prosecution is not "war." AmbuB cades were frequent and annoying, and it waa not easy to tell whether the hid den foo waa strong or weak. Threo men had been mistaken for a company in somo cases. Tho general said that tho American troops aro doing splendid work thcro. They are sound and healthy, and ic quito as good shape as they would bo at homo, engaged in similar rervico.

HOT 1ali IN SENATE. flnlllngrr A council I'mimao of Untruth- (llllldt. Washington, March 17. "I assert most emphatically that when tho sen ator saya I told him I should not speak on this subject, ho doos not state tho truth." Tills was tho sonsational retort mado In the senate toilay by Gallitigor, to a statement just made by Penrose. Son Btora wero natonmhod and tho auditors in tho galleries quivered with excite ment. There had scarcely boon tho slightest intimation that tho debato would take such a turn. For nearly threo hours tho scnato had under discussion tho bill appro priating $2,005,000 for tho benefit of the people of Puerto Jtico. Fairbanks had just concluded somo remarks on tho measure, and suggested that tho senate proceed to the consideration of executive business. Pending a motion to that eheet, Penrose who has chnrgo of tho case of ex-Senator Quay, suggest ed that a time be fixed for a vote on tho caso. In tho course of his remarks ho intimated that certain senators wero throwing obstacles in tho way of a vote, and indicated that Gullinger waa one of these senators. Ciallfngcr quietly replied that ho de sired to bo heard on tho question, but had not had i.n opportunity to speak. To hia statement Penrose retorted that the Now Hampshire senator had assured him ho did not expect to speak on the Quoy coso. Instantly Gallingcr was on his feet, aud with ovideut feeling aud with great vehemence, replied aa above quoted. "I don't know whether I don't speak tho truth," hotly replied Penrose, "or whether tho seuator from New Hamp Bhiro failed to tell mo tho truth." Gallinger retorted that tho whole proceeding of Penrose waa unmanly and beneath hia notice. Tho debate on tho appropriation hill developed iiuierenco 01 opinion, aa Jones, of Arkansas, offered a snsbtituto for tho measure a bill to return the duties to tlioho who had paid them, and providing for absolute freo trade be tween tho United Statos and Puerto IMco. Tho bill had not been disposed of whon tho Quay cai-o was called up. Tho District of Columbia appropria tion bill, carrying $0,008,878, was passed by tho house today, and also a hill granting tho abandoned Fort Hayes military reservation to the state of Kaunas for an experimental station and normal school purposes.

The idea is said to havo beon suggested to Mrs. Blaino by Professor Patrick Geddes, of Edinburgh, who lectured in Chicago a couplo of weeks ago. The eciontist offered thn proposition that thcro was a chanco for tho betterment of tho condition of household sorvants, and so woll did Mrs. Itlaine regard the suggestion that sho decided to adopt it in her home.

A procla' mutton, ot wmcn tno following is a copy, waa issued from tho mayor's otllco today: "To the Citizens of Astoria: In view of tho fact that there has beon an authentic caso of tho plague in China towu in San Francisco, and tho Chi nese aro constantly coming from there to other cities on this coast, and in viow also that tho plaguo now oxista in n greatly iucreasod number of ports of tho Pacific ocoan from which vessels aro constantly coming to tho ports of this coast, and in viow also of tho fact that rats tako this disoaso more easily than man, and are generally tho first to tako it in any port, and then givo it to man; and in viow of tho fact that tho disouaod rata cannot bo isolated in caso of an opidomic; therefore I think it proper that tho people should bo warned to kill tho rats by trapping or other wise, without delay, as a matter of solf and publio protection.

Outlet and Ttiqiilrmentii ot the 80,000 Kiiuineratom Four Haheilule Inld of Ten. Jn tho census building a groat room la now tho sceno of bustling activity, tho work of preparing portfolios for uso by enumerators in tho coming count of the iwpulatlon bolng foirly under way. lhow portfolios, of whit ish-brown pasteboard, hinged together with black cloth, aro 18 inches long and 10 wido and tied with four sots of tape. Tho tape used ia not that "rod tape" which to tho ordinary mind aig uilles circumlocution and dolay. Tho law requires spocd in tho census of 1000 and common every day white cot ton tapo will fasten tho schedule-filled portfolios in thoir round from habita tion to habitation. For convenient, ac curate and rapid enumeration tho Uni ted Statea haa been divided into 800 supervisors' districts, and theso in turn into about 50,000 enumeration dis tricts, or E. D.'s, as they aro called in tho census office Each of tho 50,000 enumerators is yet to bo appointed, ho on tho portfolios a blank apaco is left for hia name. Hie last census found tho unhappy enumerator loaded down with from 10 to i:j schedules, each having volumin ous instructions, to master which re quired considerable mental ability and Iower of memory. That census was taken under a law which required enu merators to ask many obnoxious ques tions. Tho census act of 1000 happily for all does not requiro theso disagree able queries. F'our schedules, not 10, cover enu merator's inquiries in 1000; schedulea requiring information about popula tion, vital statistics, manufactures and agriculture. In cities tho enumerator will seldom need tho agricultural, or in the rural districts tho manufacturing schedule, solie will infrequently carry more than threo. A general realization by American citizens of their personal interest in a successful prosecution of tho canvass by this white-tape army should arouse sentiments of local interest and pride in each enumeration district citizens would concern themselves about the selection of their registrar and local arbiter. Tlio whito-tapo army should bo made up of mun of a high standard. Thoy should be quick, competent, courteous, tactful and truthful. ComnopolU Rawintll.
