The house today witnessed a moat unusual scene, the speaker rising on the floor in the midst of a spirited discussion on recip rocity and taiiff revision and disclaim ing responsibility for differences be tween minority members. It was to ward the close of the debate on the urg ent deficiency hill, which appropriated, among other things, for the forthcom ing conference at Kio de Janeiro. The bill was passwd.

It was claimed this action would result in saving the government upward of $1,000,000 annually. Nearly the entire day was devoted to District of C' !'imhia business. The fortifications appropriations bill oill was sent to conference. Washington, March 20. There was a hint in the senate today at an effort to fix a time for a final vote on the railroad bill, hut it win surrounded by so much circumspection .and doubt that no pred.ction as to the tune would lie (untitled. Tillman stated that he would hrinu the matter up tomorrow and, unless objection was ln:ide, be mav ask to have a day specified.

The house today passed thrwe of the six hills au thorizing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pnul railroi.d to . bridge nttvigable streams between Chamberlain, S. D., and Puvet sound.

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA. Growth Has Deen Enormoua, Deftpite Attempted (-induction. Washington, March 27. Trade of thu Coiled StHtes with Canada in the fiscal year IIMir, aggregated $202,IM!,. 2I.'l, against $80, 420,01(0 in 181(5, ac cording to a bulletin issued by the de partment of Commerce and I.alrfir, It shows that in the years (rorn 187IS to lKitS our trade with Canada increased $07,000,000, and from 181(5 to 11(05 it increased $114,000,000. The larger portion of this growth has been on the export side. The imports Increased from $27,8r.7,U5 in 1875 to $02,4il(,4:i2 In 11(05, and ex porta ad vanced from $:i4,r47,210 In 1875 to $140,520,581 in 1005. "This rapid growth In trade relations with Canada," says the bulletin, "in especially interesting in view of the varying condition! to which commerce with Canada has been subjected. Dur ing the period from 1855 to 1800 a re eiprocity treaty was in force between Canada and the United States, but in the the latter year it was determined, so that commerce between the two countries was unaffected by Special trade arrangement until April, 1898, when the United States was placed at a sligtit disadvantage as compared with the United Kingdom, product! from that country entering the Dominion of Canada being admitted, by special ar rangement, at a reduction of 12 per cent of the tariff levied on Import! from other countries. "August 1, 1808, the reduction of liritish products was increased to 25 per cent, an.l on July 1, 1000, was still further increased to per cent. Idsplte these advantages in lavor 01 goods entering Canada from the United Kingdom, exports to Canada from that country grew from $20,743,712 in 18 7 to $.V.(,.o:f,55fl in 1004, while exports from the United States grew from $04,028,825 in 1807 to $140,520,581 in 1005." The percentage of imports to Canada from the United States in 1005 was 00 .b an.l from the United Kingdom 24 per cent. MISERY OF STARVING. Japanese Live on Flour Mixed With Straw and Weeds. Tokio, March 27. The misery and suffering iu the famine district has been slightly relieved by the prompt and liberal aid from foreign sources and the abatement of the rigors ot winter. The local authorities are try ing to provide work for the ablebodied, but the extent of the work is inade quate, and tens of thousands are still on the verge of starvation. ' Many parent! are parting with their children, sending them to the already crowded Okayaraa orphanage. Several children are quartered at the Ueyno railway station in this city. Among them was a girl 0 years old. who was found treasuring a package of dirty old newspapers. On examination the pack age was found to contain a postal card, w ith the address of the parents of the child, who had been told to mail the card upon her arrival at her destina tion. The severity of the suffering un dergone by the children is clearly de picted in the faces of those who are compelled to part from their homes, where the food consists of flour mixed with straw and weeds. The mixture is beaten flue, forming a paste, which contains only 25 per cent actual food value. The government has remitted the lowest tax in the famine district, hut this will not aff 'rd immediate relief. The liberal contributions from Ameri cans are already effective, an.l the re lief in the form of food and clothing is commanding the heartiest apprecia tion. Another appeal for aid is presenterd by the sufferers from the earthquake in Formosa, hundreds of whom are homeless. The local government is busy providing food, caring for the in jured, and recovering and removing corpses, several hundred of which are b iried under the debris. San Jacinto in Danger. I.o8 Angeles, March 27. A dispatch to the Times from San Jacinto, Cal , says: Raging down its course in the maddest fury known in 25 years, the San Jacinto river threatens great dam age to the town of Sau Jacinto, to the extensive ranch'ng regions near by and to many other places down the valley. Bridges have been washei away, lands have leen Hooded, and it has been only with the greatest difficulty that, the waters have been prevented from sweeping through the mam street of San Jacinto and entailing heavy loss. Ship Afire Hits Rocks. St. Johns, N. F., Mirclr27. After being in peril from (ire at sea and man aging by desperate efforts to reach this port in the midst of a gale and a blind ing snow storm, the British freight steamer Titania struck a suhmerged rxk in vntoring the harbor late last night, had a hole torn in her hull, uid today lies on the beach, where she wis put to prevent sinking. The nre In the cargo of the midship hold is still burn ing fiercely. Fire Destroyed Eleven Buildings. Fayettevillo, N. 0., March 27. A fire which started in the Frank Thorn ton Dry Goods company's store last night, in the center of the city, de stroyed 11 buildings. Loss, $300,000. No one was killed, but eeveral persons were injured. GREAT DAM IS GONE Flood Wrecks Government Irrl prion Work In Wyoming. WORKMEN HAVE NARROW ESCAPE North Platte River Tears Away Big Diversion Dam, Bridgq and Many Houses. Caper, Wyo., March 20. The North Platte river has been rising at an alarming rate during the past 4H hours, due to the rapid melting of snow of the previous week. The great diversion dam at Alvova, erected by the Reclam ation service as a temporary structure to divert the waters of the river while the I'athfinder darn is being built, has been washed away, and its loss will seriously interrupt the completion of the governrunt enterprise. Although the heavy rains of the last few days has caused much apprehension anting residents of this part of Wyom ing, none were prepared for the over throw of such a piece of engineering as the huge dbin. When the waters swept through the immense masonry, many workmen barely escaped wi.h their lives. The dam had been built at a cost of nearly $100,000. The steel bridge built by the govern ment six miles below the darn at Path finder was also carried away. Small cabins, barns and property of all de scriptions are floating down the swollen stream, which is spreading over the lowlands and causing great loss to stockmen and ranchmen. Miles upon miles of the lowlands are flooded, and it is feared much stock is drowned. A report from Lander says that 3,000 sheep belonging to Charles S tuther, which were stmt in a large shed, were drowned and swept away. PERKINS ARRESTED. Charged With Giving Away Large Sums of Insurance Money. New York, March 20. On a charge that bis connection with the contribu tion of $ 18,702.50 from the funds of the New York Life Insurance company to Iornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican National committee in the campaign of 1004, constituted grand larceny in the first degree, George W. Perkins, a member of the firm cf J. P. Morgan Co., and until recently first vice preeident of the New York Life In surance company, was arrested today on a warrant issued by City Magistrate Moss. When a detective went to Berve the warrant upon Mr. Perkins, he found that a writ of habeas corpus had already been obtained from Jastice Greenhaum, of the State Supreme ciurt, and the matter was immediately taken out of the hands of the magis trate. Mr. Perkins appeared before Justice Greenbum and, at the request of his counsel, the hearing was ad journed until tomorrow. Mr. Perkins was paroled in the custody of his per sonal attorney, Lewis A. DelafielJ. GREAT SMELTER BURNED. Immense Plant in Wyoming Destroyed When About to Start. Grand Encampment, Wyo., March 20. The great smelting, concentrating and electric and steam power plant of the Penn-Wyoming Copper company whs practically destroyed by fire today, entailing a loss estimated at $300,000, insurance half that amount. The smelter building was saved after a hard fik'ht by the fire department. The or igin of the fire is a mystery. The plant had been closed down for the winter on account of the deep sno and improvements under way. Prepa rations were on foot to resume next month. The fire will bring the business to a standstill for inon.hs. The Penn-Wyoming company handled the copper ores of a large part of the Encampment dis trict in addition to the ores from its own mine, the Rudefha. Legislates Out Officers. Albany, N. Y , March 20. The in sura nee bill postponing mutual insur ance elections until November 15 was passed in the senate unanimously. The bill as passed by the senate was re ported to the assembly late in the af ternoon and was substituted for t he identical assembly hill, which was on the order of their reading. This will probably bring it up for final passage i tomorrow, and there is little doubt that i it will be passed without material op-1 position and g't at once to the governor for liia approval. Puts Screws on Castro. Paris, Match 20. Announcement is made that France considers Venezuela hss forfeited her right to thejprivileged tariff bv extending the diplomatic rup ture to the commercial and personal re lations of French subjects. The French government therefore is arranging to apply the maximum tariff on all Yene xuelan goods, particularly coffee, which s now paying 133 francs, when it should be paying 300 francs per hun dred kilos. No Coal on Iowa Market. Des Maines, March 29. In anticipa tion of a strike April 1, the visible sup ply of coal in Pes Moines and Iowa has been absorbed by railroads and factor ies to the extent that not a pound of commercial coal can be bad at any price. No orders for coal are taken by dealers at any price and other kinds of fuel are bringing exorbitant; prices. SOME NEW RULES OF CONDUCT. What II r cent r.treiillt Order Unthlnnliin Ufnllf Mrnn.

Kroinlly Interpreted, the jjenenil spirit of this executive or- j (ler, nddrcHM-d to nil chinNlMcd gov- i eminent employes,, seemed to he nbout thl.1 : Von don't know whnt you wnnt. If you do know, you nre not to nak for It, uiiIchm you expect to be fired. The llrMt law of nature for u gov ernment clerk ought to be self eff.ice LueiiL Abnegation Is the holle.Ht of virtues for you.

He'll kick you Into the street finally, and then you'll have tho whole wide world be fore you. If you arc dissatisfied with your gov ernment employment, resign and start a national hank or frame up a rail road merger. Et cetera, et cetera. In view of the attitude of certain of the jiowers that lie heads of govern ment departments, legislators and so on toward government employes In Washington during the past few years, the following rule nnd regulations, to le itdd.il to the 2.31 4.." 70 already promulgated for the guidance of gov ernment clerks In Washington, are submitted ; No government clerk shall eat choc olate eclairs or sweet jtotato pie for lunch, those articles of food having a soporific effect and tending, therefore, to injure the value of the government unit's afternoon labors. Every government clerk shall be re quired to save nt least one-third of his salary and submit satisfactory proof that he has done the same when so called upon. . The secretary or n!stnnt swrrorj? of a department shall have the prlvl hve. et any nnd nil times, of looking at each clerk's wad, of ascertaining how much each clerk Is spending, how much he Is saving, how he Is saving It, where he Is saving It, how much he Is In debt. Any government clerk whose breath smells of ginger jxip, Kirsaparilla, or any other Injurious and deleterious compound ujion his return to his of fice from lunch shall tie Instantly dis missed for gross and habitual drunk enness. Gray-haired government clerks shall henceforth be required to dye their hair black, as It Is undesirable that there shall be anything old or musty looking around the government depart ments. Tho so-called rights of government clerks are hereby defined to mean: Anything they think they can get. SlruKulo and Itetvurd of Stasr. The stage Is like no other profession in the world. There are no prescribed courses of study, no regular text-looks, arid no diplomas, except the applause of t.udiences, nnd this is an uncertain quantity. Aliove all else It Is n pro lession lu which Individuality counts for nearly everything, yet that same in d'vlduality has to be sunk completely that artistic success may be attained, paradoxical us this statement may seem. Thorn-strewn is the path of one ar tistically Inclined In this profession. An, mere Is so much to overcome so many heartbreaking disappointments to endure! In other professions one learns his lessons, and a sutliclent uuniltcr of lessons learned means proficiency. With the actress it is very, very much differ ent. There Is no end to the study, the lessons of greatest value are learned through trials, and many earnest ef forts often prove to be but so much time wasted. Hundreds fail where one succeeds; the selfish trample onward over Hie meek ; the modest and unas suming seldom rise above the foot of the ladder. lSut, with nil this In mind, I can still feel that the dramatic profes sion Is more than worth while. Great as the struggle, the reward is commen-sii-nto. For many reasons n woman may attain greater fame, greater suc cess, and greater Intellectual heights through being an actress than would le hers in any other profession. Saruh L'einhardt In Success Magazine. (rotvtk of Camera llulilt. Thirty years ngo a camera was a rarity. Tito enthusiast who possessed one carried a mountain of traps afield nnd smothered In a tent during his tedious manipulation of the wet dates. Lust year the United States alone made nbout JMHl.OOO cameras, working with mere pressure of a bulb or button, and the photographic business readied the respectable commercial total of $-0,-000,000. I I T rr rriTi vrr-n hhit wmtrT " Like runny another New England housewife, Mrs. Greene was familiar enough with the old fashioned "One Two Threo-Four Cuke," the arithmetic ally progressive recipe fur which call for one cup of butter, two of sugar, three of (lour, mid four eggs. Her (laughter Grnce, who married several years ngo nnd went to San Francisco to live, has recently come back wltli her children for n visit When the tiniest of her grandsons one day licgged for "One-Two Three-Five" Cake for supi-r, Mrs. Greene laughed the de lighted IntigU of the grandmother. "Rless the loy !" she cried. "Just hear hlrn trying to count!" 'Oh, Ullly cnu count, mother," snM Grace. "Hut that's what we call that cake now, ever since my Chinese cook begun to make It. "The children are very fond of this particular cake, so after Lee's arrival I undertook to tench film to make It I bad learned by that time that It U useless to tell him how to do anything; but I had only to make a dish before him, and then he could make It exactly as well as I. "8o I measured out the butter, sugar and flour, and began to break the eggs. I broke thre", one by one, and turned them Into the bowl for lieatlng; but as the fourth seemed the least bit 'doubt ful,' I stepped to the door and threw It Into the pall, and coming back to the table, I broke another egg, which proved to be good. "Shortly afterward I happened to be In the kitchen when Lee was making this cake. He broke three eggs Into the bowl, as I had done, and then stepped to the door and threw out the next egg which was perfectly good. "When I protested, he said, 'I makee cake samee Mlssee.' And when I looked Into his expressionless eyes, somehow I knew there was no use In combating the centuries of the Chinese Empire, I gave up, and Just changed the name of the cake. It was easier than to make Lee over !" HOW THE CHEF IS TRAINED. It Take Hint Ten Years to Acquire Art of Cooking. The chef, whose salary Is $8,000 a year, tipped the cabman hand-somely and entered his club, says the Phila delphia Hulletln. "How one becomes a chef?" he said. "You want to know how one learns to be a chef, eh? Well, the answer Is, by hard work nine or ten years of hard work." "The chef," be said, "begins as a boy, as apprentice to a master. For several years he works under the vege table cook. He learns how to maka mashed potatoes that look like white roses, now iu cwa auu arrange an iu vegetable, from the truffle down. In a hundred fine and beautiful ways. He gets no salary- He only gets his board. "Now for a year he studies raw meats. He learns how to select them and how to cut them up. He can tell at a glance, for Instance, the genuine salt-meadow mutton from the false. Along with this raw meat course also 'goes a study of fish and of game and ot poultry how to stuff, dress, lard, truss 1 and so on. I 'Next for a year, at a small salary, j he standp before the range, learning how to broil, Try, roast and bake. "He now reaches the foundation of his art nnd Is admitted Into the pres ence of the chef himself only assist ants have taught him so far. The chef teaches him how to make soups, pas tries. Ices and the more complicated puddings and souffles. Three or fouf years Is none too long a time to study here. "Ten years of hard work should turn a quick apprentice Into a good chef. Such a chef without difficulty earns from $23 a week up to $150. If he gave half as much time to the bar, the church, or medicine, he would earn thrlee as much." A new Idea has been advanced by a newspaper man in the adjoining state regarding the mall order business. The newspaper man saw a farmer friend of his receiving n set of harness from tho freight olllce, the assignment coming from a Chicago mall order house, and, remonstrating with him, attempting to prove that lie was making u mistake aa many of the local dealers would furnish hlni with the same or better goods Just ns cheap, nnd keep the profits nt home. "Rut this Is the first time I have heard there was a harness shop In this town. I have taken your pnper for five years nnd have never seen a line of advertising In It about such an Insti tution In nil the tlme I have been a subscriber. Hut you see the Chicago house tins kept me posted all the time.' And there is more truth In the state ment than the average merchant dreams of, who falls to let the publlo know he is In business. It is possible for a woman to be such a particular housekeeper that she doesn't enjoy going out of town on a visit through thinking that some one nt home Is hanging the dlshpiin In the wroug place. el Ml
