The sum i the same a carried lor that company by the shipping hill, which passed tlm senate early in the session, and when Patterson asked Per kins why he did not wait for the pass age of tl.o shipping hill, the latter re plied that "hope deferred maketh the heartsick."

Karly in the session of the house today William, Mi., the floor leader of the minority, made the point that there was no quor um present, and it took a call of the house to start the wheels of legislation. After the appearance of a quotum, the house concurred in amendment nxle by the senate to a number of house bills. The house resolved itself into a "city council" for the consideration of hills relating to the District of Colum bia. The compulsory education bill for the district occupied most of the day, being finally placed on its passage. On u division, the absence ol a quorum wa disclosed. Williams made the point of no quorum, and a call of the house en sued, the vea and nays being called on the pansage of the hill. Will Need More Money. Washington, May .SO. What mem bers of the house committee on appro priations regard as an absolute disre gard of the law authorizing the con struction of the new building for the department of agriculture is revealed in the hearings before, that committee on the sundry civil appropriation bill. In litOH congress appropriated $1, 600,000 for this building. It was the general understanding that this was for the erection of a complete building for the accoiiiuxxlatiou of the entire depart ment. It wa with some astonishment that the members learned last week that "soniebody"had ordered the construc tion of two wings of what may be some day a completed building and that the two wings have practically exhausted the 1,500,000 appiopr'ated for a com plete structure. The wing, when completed, will, according to testimony given before the committee, be inade quate to house the department lorce, and congress will he called upon to ap propriate another couple of millions to (ill the space between the two wings. May Not Confirm. Washington, May 28. In the light of the attitude assumed by the seiate subcommittee on Judiciary, it is quite probable that Williamg C. Bristol will not be confirmed at this session as dis trict attorney for Oregon. The sub committee is not favorable to Hi idol's confirmation, yet does not go to the ex tent of recommending the rejection of his nomination. It will probably make no report to the full committee, which means that the committee will not re port to the senate and no action will be taken botore the adjournment. Proposes Postal Telegraph. Washington, May 28. The idea of a postal telegraph has a warm advocate in Samuel W. Smith, member of con gress from Michigan, who iu a careful ly prepared speech today in the house insisted that if the government would undertake such a system, the deficit in the postal department would be almost wiped out. "We should," he said, "have a first-class postal telegraph in the United States in connection with our splendid postal facilities." OBJfcCT TO JUDGE SMITH. Lawyers for Federation OfficialijAsk Change of Venue. (aldwell, Idaho, May .'10. When the Canyon county district court con vened hern yesterday morning, the rasa, of Charles If. Moyer, William D Haywood and Uoorge A. Pettlhonn, ofli cer of the Western Federal iri of Mi ner, who are charged with tho murder of ex (iovernor Steoneiiherg, were call ed, attorney for the prisoners i mined I ately flel notice of alleged disqualifi cations which should prevent Distri.t Juilgo hrarik Smith from sitting as trial Judge, ami gave notice of a motion for change of venue. Twenty-six reasons which are alleged to disqualify Judge Smith are given Among other points it i alleged that (iovernor Frank It. (ioodlng ha Issued a public manifesto, declaring the guilt of the defendant and that he has proof of their guilt. The fact that Judge Smith is an ap pointee of the governor is set forth, and the allegation that he is subject to the influence of the governor in made. The manner of drawing the grand jury in this county also is attacked. The peti tion severely criticises the conduct of loth (iovernor (iooding and Judge Smith in relation to these case. Pefore taking any notice of the mo tion in behalf of the defendants, James It. Hawley, chief counsel for the prose cution, filed affidavits setting forth the present statu of the habeas corpus pro ceedings taken to the Federal Supreme court on appeal from the Federal court for the district of Idaho. He said the trial of the defendants could noc pro ceed until the habeas corpus matter should he disposed of by dismissal or final decision in the Supreme court. Nothing was accomplished beyond submitting to Judge Smith legal points claimed for the proBcution to be a bar to further proceedings at this time. An adjournment was taken until Thurs day. PASS DISEASED MEAT. Special Commissioner Reynolds Saw It Done in Chicago. Chicago, May .'10. How 24 out of 'A I diseased cattle were "passed" under the eye ol James H. Reynolds, one of President Roosevelt's special commis sioner appointed to investigate condi tions at the stock yards, was divulged tcxlay by a man who accompanied Rey nolds to the plant of the Standard Slaughtering company. Tbi scene dic tated in a large measure the report of the commissioners and brought ahout the inspection bill now before congress. Mr. Reynolds reached the slaughter house shortly after 7 o'clock. Unknown to those in the place, he made an ex amination of the cattle in the pen. There were -fl diseased cattle standing in the pens when he visited toe place W ithout exception, the umps in their jaws, according to the testimony of one who was with him, were from the sixe of a cocoanut to that of a peck measure. Mr. Reynolds watched these cattle brought to the killing beds and slaughtered. "How many of them were condemned on post-mortem inspection?" he asked the city inspector, after all had been killed. "Seven," replied the inspector. The commissioner turned away sick ened. "What becomes of the products of these vats?" asked the commissioner of Cornelius Short, manager of the slaughter house. "The grease goes to the butterine man and other users of grease, the solid to the fertilizer." "What is done with the meat that passee?" was the next question. "There are two firim in Chicago that make a business of buying it, and it is sold to certain restaurants and hotels." "There was not a dozen in that tmnch of 31," said the commissioner to his companion, as he walked out of the place, "that could rightly have been passed." The Standard Slaughtering company was organized during the administra tion of (iovernor John P. Altgeld, who compelled its establishment so that the handling of diseased meat Could be centralized and thus better controlled. Supreme Judge Brown Retires. Washington, May 30. Official an nouncement of the retirement of Jus tice Brown from the Supreme court of the United States was made yesterday by Chief Justice Fuller. In making the statement he gave out the corre spondence between the retiring justice and the court, in which the eight col leagues of Justice Brown expressed their high appreciation ol hpi as a jus tice. Justice Brown replied in fitting terms to the members of. the court, thanking them for their expressions of good will. Damage to Federal Buildings. San Francisco, May 30. Judge W. W.

LOCK .CANAL IS THE BEST TYPE Accutes Congress of Throwing Ob stacles in the Way of Benefits to Present Generation Atlanta, Ga., May 31 . Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal commission, a the guest today of At lanta friends. He delivered two ad dresses. The first was at the dedica tion of a new building at Aanes Scott Institute, a college lor women, in De- catur, a suburb of Atlanta. The sec ond wa delivered this eveninir before the chamber of commerce, in which he spoke of the relations of the south to the Panama canal. He took strong ground in advocacy of the lock canal system. Mr. Shonts said that between the time of the selling of the supplies which will enter into the construction of the Panama canal and the period when the opening of the canal will re sult in the development of the country gulf is fixed. How great and how wide that gulf is will depend on the type of canal selected. Mr. Shonts spoke in favor of a lock canal as recom mended by the minority of the consult ing Ixiard and indorsed by the canal commission, lie said, in conclusion : "The practical question for all sec tions of the country is, How long shall we wait lefore we can enter upon the period of development which the open ing of the canal will bring to the coun try? I am not surprised that European countries are indifferent to the early completion of this canal. I am not surpr s-d that they are indifferent as to how much this canal may cost our gov ernment. I am not surprised that they can view calmly an indefinite postpone ment of the operation of this ttreat waterway. They are neither paying the bills nor will their commerce and industries suffer by waiting for the comple'ion of this undertaking. "But I am surprised that those who are supposed to represent the best in terests of the American people should try to throw obstacles in the way of realizing the benefits of this work at the earliest possible date. When we can get a better canal for lees money and receive the benefits ourselves, why wait? Why make it a heritage to our children, with the possibility of their being deprived of its benefits through some unforeseen contingency? I have spoken of a gulf. Now how wide that gulf shall be depends on the people Do you want to reap the benefits of this undertaking yourselves, or do you want to transmit a hope to your child ren or your children's children?" INSURANCE MEN'ARE SLOW. Rebuildtng Stopped Because'JThey Do Not Pay Losses. San Francisco, May 81. Building operations in the ruined portions of this city have received a decided set back owing to the dilatory tactics of the underwriters. Almost before the ruins tiad cooled the owners of large build ings in the business section which had not been destroyed beyond restoration planned for their speedy and complete rehabilitation. In a few days after the great fire throngs of men'were engaged in strengthening the shells and clearing 8wav t lie dehris ol the great omce buildings and hotels in the downtown district. Today the men engaged in the Crock er, Shreve, .Mutual Savings bank build ing and the St. Francis hotel in these operations were given notice that all work must cease because of lack of funds. Accordingly the army of lahorere and skilled mechanics who were making the ruins of the great buildings hives of industry were laid off, and quietness once more reigns in these sections of the devastated district.

Goldfield, Nev., May 81. Remark able strikes have been reported from near Alkali Springs, 17 miles northwest of Goldfield, and today Goldfield is nearly depopulated of mining men and prospectors. For two days the stream of goldseekers has been pouring into the district from Goldfield and nearby camps. The ore taken out much re sembles the Tonopah, bearing gold and silver in nearly equal quantities. The field is large. Serious Revolt In China. Shanghai, May 81. A serious rising, assisted by secret societies, is in pro gress at Yingshan, in the province oi Kiangshi. The people are seeking re fuge in the cities. The British gunboat Snipe, from Sangchang, will proceed to the scene of the disorder. The gover nor of the province is sending troops.

One of the strangest crgoes a ves sel could possibly have was unloaded nt the London docks toward the cloae of March. It consisted of several sacks filled with dried flies, consigned to a large firm of grain merchants. These files, exported from Brazil, have been purchased for use In the manu facture of food for chickens, cage birds and the like. They were caught on the River Amazon by Brazilians, who trav el up the river In flat-bottomed boats and who are provided with gauze nets with which they capture these Insects ' ii millions, as files hover In dene clouds over many of the swampy renches of the Amazon. The flies thus caught are killed and dried In the sun. Neunian Tobias of Kingston, Ja maica, has Invented a remarkable lock.

Instead of letters, the In ventor has employed four sets of nu merals.

During that time he would have no time for eating, drinking or sleeping. TALKING OF GRIZZLY BEARS. Ilnnter lafi Wild Antmala An Dantrerons Only When Attacked. "In the mountains of Wyoming, where I have hunted for years, you can find any kind of savage animals that you get in America except alligators, (rlzzlles, black hoars and mountain lions are commonly killed there," says Hugh Snlverly of Sheridan, Wyo. Some of the men that come out there to hunt think that if they stir 100 yards away from camp they must be armed to the teeth for fear of being attacked by a hear or a 'painter' and killed. There's a heap more danger of getting killed on account of leaving your gun at home when you go down Market street. Someone might shoot you on the street In a big city, but It is dead sure that a hear or a moun tain Hon will never attack you unless you drive hlni to It. "I've hunted through the best dis tricts for big game in this country and I've seen a good many grizzlies, but I've never seen one of them go after a man unless he was cornered or wounded. If you run Into a grizzly bear In a lonely place you'll hear a grant, something like that of a mam moth hog, and then there will be a mighty crashing of underbrush as he makes off In the opposite direction as fnst as he can go. All you can general ly see of a mountain lion Is a tawny streak as he mokes off at Incredible speed. If he has any Intention of going after you It must be his Inten tion to go around the world and catch you In the rear, for If you are standing to the east of him he Is sure to go due west "Mountain Hons In the winter time will follow sleighs at a distance, wall ing as they go, but there Is nothing In that to Inspire terror, for I don't think they have ever been known to close In on anybody. Their terror of human beings Is the thing which makes them bard to shoot In all the time that I have been In the mountains I have never heard of anyone being attacked by a wild animal that has been left strictly alone. But I've known men to be killed even by deer when the brute was driven to desperation. "Grizzlies are the best game In the world. When you once get their dander up they are savage fighters and the hunter's life la in danger every minute unless be Is a good shot and baa a steady nerve. If yon ever get wlthlnl reach of the grizzly's paw you are a dead one. These stories of men killing" them w ith knives In hand to-hand fight ore atxmt a reasonable as It would le to talk of stopping a locomo tive hy getting In the way of the train. If the big fellow get a chance to de liver one blow It I nil over. There was a grizzly tip our wsy that the cow hoys called 'Big Hen' who killed about 150 steers before he was finally shot. Ho would break a steer's neck with one blow and then ho would lift him up and csrry him off to a secluded plac. Orlzzlle look awkward, but they are mighty light on their feet and they can beat any man In a foot race." Louis ville Herald. ' A BtJDE JOKE. One can display no greater breach of courtesy than in deriding anything which a people hold sacred, no matter how absurd the object of veneration may seem to the foreign mind. In an Incident told In "Temples and Ele phants," by Carl Bock, the Slsmese audience showed by their silence and restraint a politeness superior to the funmaker In the ring, although the circus men belong to a nation supposed to be more civilized. The sacred white elephants of Slam are clearly albinos, but they are sel dom. If ever, white. Their usual color Is a pale reddish brown, although there may be a few real white hairs on the back. An English circus at one time visited Bangkok, where the performances were witnessed by the king and princes. One day It was announced that a "real white elephant" would take part In that evening's show. The circus was crowded. After the usual program had been carried out two clowns came Into the ring. "Did you ever see a white elephant?" asked one. "Oh, yea," answered the other. "The king's got a whole stableful of them." "No, the king hasn't. They're all chocolate. I will show you the only genuine white elephant In the world." A small Indian elephant was led Into the ring as white as snow. The audi ence gave a gasp of admiration and reverence. The animal went through various tricks, tumbling about, grind ing organs, and so forth. As It per formed the secret of Its color gradual ly leaked out. Whatever the elephant touched became white. Presently the first clown told the second to "rub his red nose on the beast arid 'twould leave Its mark on him." The audience had been growing very stllL They saw that the so-called white elephant had been chalked all over. When the clown made his speech It was received by an ominous silence. Their religious belief was being ridi culed. With admirable restraint, they left the circus without any sign of annoy ance; but once outside, they expressed their confident belief that the proprie tor would be punished by Buddha. Curiously enough, not many days after, tho trick elephant was killed, and not much later the circus proprietor died. When the Siamese heard of the calam ities, they declared that It was a Just manifestation of Buddha's wrath for the disrespect shown to the sacred ani mal. At apoleoa'a Tomb. Henry Vlgnaud, secretary of the American embassy at Paris, enjoys telling of an American who was being shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the lo quacious guide referred to the various points of Interest In connection with the tomb, the American paid the great est attention to all that wus said. This Immense sarcophagus," de claimed the guide, "weighs forty tons. Inside of that, sir, Is a steel receptacle weighing twelve tons, and iuslde of that Is a leadeu casket, hermetically sealed, weighing over two tons. Iuslde of that rests a mahogany cotHu con taining the remains of the great man." For a moment the American waa silent, as If In deep meditation. Then he said : 'It seems to me that you've got him all right If he ever gets out cable me at my expense." Success. Tiot to De Put Down. A parUh clerk who prided himself upon being well read occupied his seat below the old "three-decker" pulpit and whenever a quotation or extract from the classics was Introduced Into the sermon he, In an undertone, mut tered its source much to the annoy ance of tho preacher and amusement of the congregation. Despite all protests In private, the thing continued until one day the vicar's patience being quite exhausted he leaned over the pulpit side and Impulsively exclaimed: "Drat you, shut up!" Immediately, In the clerk's usual sententious toue, came the reply : "Ills own." Ancient, but It Goes.
