The senate today passed Senator I.a Follette's joint resolution extending the scope of the inquiry now being conducted by the Interstate Commerce commission under the Tillman-(iil)eHpie resolution, so as to iiave it include the transportation and storage of grains.

Under a rule limiting debate on all but two sections, the so-called immigration bill was dis cussed for three hours today in the house and passed, without an aye and no vote being permitted on any of the paragraphs. This bill attracted much attention, the representatives having large foreign colonies in their districts lining up generally against the head tax of $5, wh'ch was defeated, and against the educational test. After a very interesting contest a substitute for the educational test, pro viding that the whole matter be sub mitted to a commission, was adopted by a close vote. The most important feature of the bill were thus eliminated and the bill was passed without divi sion. At 5:35 p. m. the houe took a re cess until 8 o'clock this evening to de vote three hours to oratory. Will Not Go to Panama. Washington, June 28.

June 27. The icov- ernment, taking ad vantage of thn effect nroilurcd by the frankness and rlncerlty of Interior Minister Stolvnin's declara- lions in thn lower house of parliament, ha taken prompt step to prevent any further iinli-Hemitic disturbances. But thin effect in waning and thn Impossi bility of thn present situation is daily coming morn to thn fore. The senti ment in favor of a change in the minis try is now not only shared by the lower and upper houses of parliament, and voiced by the entire press, but is sup ported by a strong faction at court. Thn revolutionists are jubilant at the progress made by the military propa ganda. The conservative Novo Vrern va todav devotes a leading editorial to the subject, and the radical organs print columns of accounts of military troubles, some of which undoubtedly warn invented for snirsestive effect, but the majority were based on fact. After a vain attempt to stop the puh licutlon of unfavorable military news hy the confiscation of their editions, the ttolicn vesterdav seized the tvpo- . 4 vs graphical outfits of several papers, and the offices of provincial journals which were reprinting the accounts of the Novo v remya and blovo were sum marily closed. Agrarian disorders at Kharkoff. Pol tava and Tamhoff have led to conflicts with the troops. The estate of Prince Volkonsky, a member of the lower hniisn of tiarliamant. at Morsbansk. f F - ' . has been plundered and his residence burned. STAY WITH WORK. Cannon Says Congress Must Finish Before It Can Adjourn. Washington, June 27. Congress will stav in session until its work is fin- shed. This is the dictum of Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants, and is being emphasized at this time to coun teract any impression that the pure mod bill, at least, might go over until the next session. There is also trouble on the meat iiHpection bill, and the "tie up" on the railroad rate bill indicates delay. The immigration bill is also in confer ence, as are several of the appropria tion bills. All of these things must be worked out without any date of ad journment being set, according to the decision of the house leaders. When the work is done an adjournment reso lution will be forthcoming in short order. While the situation today spells de lay until next week, the work on the M'or is progressing. Members say there is no need to prolong the session beyond Friday, if the conferees make up their minds that the work must be done or that agreements which will meet all demands can be arranged on all matters before that time, and , that if the idea of prolonging the session for the purpose of killing certain bills is abandoned, this week will see the end. SPREAD FERMENT. Russian Parliament Openly Advocates Revolution. St. Petersburg, June 27. The session if the lower house of parliament todav was openly devoted to the revolutionist propaganda for undermining the loyal ly of the troops. A score of speeches couched in ardent revolutionary tone were delivered, with the direct object of their dissemination amtjng the sol diers. The authorities, who are able to con fiscate papers containing telegraph ac counts of the ferment among the sol diery, are unable to prevent the publi cation of parliamentary speeches, and those delivered todav will tomorrow be printed in everv radical paper in the empire and so find their way into every barracks, camp and outpost. The rostrum was abandoned almost entirely to Cossack representatives. The conservative Cossacks -did their bent to counteract the addresses of their revolutionary conferees. The lie was freely passed on both sides regarding the sentiments of the Cossack soldiers and their devotion to duty, in spite of the utmost efforts of Prince Paul Dol- gourokoff, who occupied the chair in the absence of President Mouromteeff. Detectives Murdered in Streets. Warsaw, June 27. At 5 o'clock this evening in the outskirts of this city a band of terrorists, armed with revolv ers, attacked three detectives, of whom they killed two and wounded the third. When an ambulance arrived and the doctors tried to assist the wounded de tective, two men approached and fired twice, killing the injured man. The shots attracted Cossacks and infantry to the scene, and the soldiers barred the street, firing several volleys by which a number of sympathizing workmen were wounded.

Saturday half holidays during the months of July, August and September have been granted by President Roosevelt to skilled mechanics and laborers and to all employes in the classified service at the navy yards and naval stations of the United States.

Victoria, B. C, June 27. An Otta, wa special says Hon. Sydney Fisher minister of agriculture, is having an investigation made into the canned meat industry of Canada so as to be able to assure the British buyer of the purity of the Canadian article. WAYS OF OLD WORLD America Will Not Lose Anything by Comparison. HONESTY IS NOT COMMON THERE Everything Must Be Put Down in Black and White in European Commercial Life. Chicago, June 2H. The Berlin cor respondent of the Chicago Daily News cables the following interview with Adolph Kahn, a prominent American business man, on his observance of business methods abroad: "European rnud-slinging at Ameri can commercial morals, which is now so popular, is hypocrisy of the rankest kind," said Mr. Kahn. "Wide know ledge of European methods assures me that a comparison of ethics would de cidedly favor the husiness men and business practices of the United States. Hepresentatives of our leading indus trial organizations declare that their daily experiences reveal little of thn boasted moral superiority of the-Ohl World. "One of them makes the sweeping assertion that, barring perhapB English men, he would not trust any European merchant, manufacturer or tradesman, unlets the tiansactions were tied up in formal documents producible in court. "Such things aa a 'gentleman's agreement,' which is an everyday feat ure of American business, is unknown here. The doctrine of common honesty and mutual trust appears to play no part in European commercial life. Everything must be i,ut down in black and white, and even then there is a tendency to quibble and crawl. Broad guage, generous methods and princi ples, characteristic of the best class of American concerns, are utterly foreign to the European business code." passes;are;to be limited. Rate BillConference Will'Also'.Report Pipe Line Amendment. Washington, June 27. The confer ence on the railroad rate bill tonight resulted in no agreement on that meas ure. The discussion made it clear that the pass provision, which is to be per fected for the action of the committee tomorrow morning, will follow closely the lines of the original senate amend ment on that subject. It will name certain classes of persons who may re ceive passes and exclude all others. There is also ground for the predic tion that the pipe line amendment will be reported exactly as it waa in the last conference report that is, the phrase "common carriers" will give place to the word "railroads." The effect of this will be to permit pipe lines to transport the product owned by the owners of the pipe line. Before discussing the two disputed amendments it was decided that the former agreement as to all other points in dispute should stand. This was the first meeting since the rejection of the conference report by the senate on ac count of the pass amendment and the provision relating to pipe lines. Sulphites Used in Sausages. Kansas City, June 28. A chemical analysis of hamburger steaks, bologna eausage, loose sausage, Polish sausage, frankfurters and weinerwursts, bought in the open market from the three lead ing packing companies, has convinced Dr. B. . Lindberg, president of chem istry and toxicology in the Kansas City llahnan Mann Medical college, that these products of the packing compan ies contain sulphites. In every sample of the product of two and in two out of five of the other samples sulphites were found. Spread of Mutiny, St. Petersburg, Jane 28. The com mander of the ultra-royal Prebrajansky regiment, to which belong the men who recently held a meeting in the guard camp at Krasnoic-Se'.o and drew np resolutions addressed to their com mander, upholding all of the actions of parliament and declaring that they want no more police duty entailing the slaying of brothers or fathers, has been seerely reprimanded by the emperor. Meeting No Resistance. Mexico City, June 28. News from Salvador relating to the revolution in Guatemala is that General Toledo has advanced into the country without en countering any resistance during a three-days' inarch. It ia believed he is now near or at the city of Guatemala. A large number of government troops have deserted to him. The government commander at the Escatempa bad to resort to the severest measures to pre vent his troops from disbanding. Give'UpJTheir Arms. Manila The'Pulajane leaders, Qui nentin and Adva, have surrendered to Governor Oamena, and the constabula ry. These were the last of the men ar rayed against the Americans on the is land of Cube. The rifles and ammuni tion of the members of their band were alao surrendered. A LITTLE LESSON IN ADVERSITY. f fvn iJnrnbettn, the maker of the Inxt republic of Frnnce, the man who defined Nnpolpon Iff., was the son of nn almost destltnto Italian who hud wine to Co bora, France. The eld er fJumlK-tta and IiIh wife owned a little bazar and grocery, where Ieon OHHlsted them through his enrly childhood. When lie waa still very young be waa sent to the school of the Jesuit at Maufa- SAn CAMHCTTA. (till. He was a mere boy when an unfor tunate accident occurred which waa of such serious coiiHeiuencea that for a time the boy's slyht was despaired of. While he was watching a cutter drill the bundle of a knife, fiambetta came too near. The foil broke and a plex of It entered the right eye, entirely destroying the sight of It. The left eye waa sympathetically affected, and CiHiiilx-tta was handicapped ell through IiIh life by this fear of total blindness. Denplte this he studied to such pur poie that he prepared himself to be ad mitted to the Sorbonne In Paris. Ills father was opposed to the young man's purjKise of becoming a lawyer, and re fused to give him any assistance. Oani hotta struggled through the direst need at this period, hut attained the result he strove for. He had to wait eight een months for his first brief, but it was not long after that real fame came to him In a day by his defense of Iiellschuzes, leuder of the opposition to the empire. His bravery In the attack won for him the confidence of the republicans and began for blm bis splendid career of triumph. SPAIN'S QUEEN ON OUR STAMPS. Isabella the Klrat Woman's Face to Appear on American Postaare. Queen Isabella of Spain was the first woman whose portrult was printed ou Lulled States postage stamps, says the New York Post. When the jiostoffico de partment decided In Wi to bring out an entlr-; new series. It was suggested that It would be a graceful thing to n ice the likeness of a woman upon one of the new issue. The Idea met with !iHtt.nt approval. The department In tired persons Interested to send In the u itues of famous American women elig ible for the honor of a place lu the gallery of postal Issues. As might have U -en supposed, a number of names of t'lustrloua women were forwarded, but a large plurality favored bestowing the distinction upon Martha Washington, w ife of the first President of the Uni ted States. It was decided that Martha Washington's likeness should he sub Mi tuted for that of Gen. Sherman on the 8-cent stamp. The next question was to discover a tuitable portrait of Mrs. Washington und this occasioned no little difficulty. Portraits of this "first lady of the land" npiioarexl to be hard to find In fact, hut one or two pictures were at all suitable, though the entire country was ransacked by stamp collectors and oth ers in the effort to find some new por trait. The stamp Is printed In a deli cate lavender shade and has been de clared to be one of the most artistic the I'nlted States has ever Issued. The discussion to place the likeness of Martha Washington upon a postage stamp supplanting one of the great generals of the civil war, was duly ex ploited. It was declared that to Mrs. Washington would belong the distinc tion of being the first woman to be so honored, until a collector culled atten tion to the fact that the claim had been iire-empted ten years previously by Queen Isabella. Attention w as directed to the $4 stamp of the Columbian se ries, issued to commemorate the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893. Upon this stamp appeared the likenesses of Queen Isabella and Christopher Colum bus, side by side In orals, the stamps being" twice as large as our current Is sue. In addition to the large portrait on the $4 stamp, Isabella is depicted on the 5-cent denomination, where she sits upon her throne and listens to Colum bus as he appeals to her for aid In fitting out his ships. The 8-cent stamp depicts Isabella restoring Columbus to favor; the 10-cent denomination repre sents Columbus Introducing to Ferdi nand and Isabella the Indians, who returned with him. Isabella alts upon her throne and hears the official an nouncement of Columbus of his dlscov erv, according to the scene on the 15 ce:it stamp, and upon the $1 denomina tion Is engraved the dramatic scene where the queen offers to pledge her jewels to aid Columbus In his under taking. The picture on the 3 stamp shows Columbus describing to Isabella nls third voyage to the western hemi sphere. Thus it appears that Queen Isabella has been exploited upon seven United States postage stamps. The stamps of Spain, Cuba, Porto Itlco and the Philippines, bearing the Hkeuess to Queen Isabella, II., have al ways been favorites with collectors, and the Columbian stamps, Issued by the United States in 1803, upon which her uncestor is depicted seven times, were ferbaps the most popular series of Ktiimpa ever Issued, although the two c lored Pan-American, or "Buffalo Ex Dcsltlon,'' stamps pressed theui hard In popular favor. Tho placing of th large portrait of Isabella upon the $4 ( nlnmblnn stamp la thn only Instance v here one government thtia honored a p rson from another country. ESTABLISHED A PRECEDENT. Klrat to Have Vermiform Appen dli nemoreA I.I Tina; In llenver. Confined In Ht Luke's hospital, hav ing recently undergone an operation on one of her fingers, which had become di.'ormed from a break and which wan .trolghteiied, Is MIkk Mary II. (JarUlde. vIh has the distinction of being the II: st person on rewrd to linve the verm iform appendix removed. 7t was because of this operation, vlIcu was purely experimental and w'llch was resorted to In the last ex tieme, that the possibility of removing t'.io ajperidlx was discovered. Dr. W. W. Grant of this city waa the rjr?eon In charge, says the Ienvf 'limes. The case Is famous the world over. The Grant home, In Pennsylva nia avenue, Is one of the places In the ci:y which the megaphone man on the seeing Denver automobile always polnti out, commenting on the fact that ther l.'-e the doctor who performed fh. rJrrt operation for appendicitis and, he was In the habit of adding, the patient died, until one day last summer a tour- iht when told about the house became much Iirterested, and when the man, aided that the patient had died arose In her seat and denied the statement In vigorous terms, declaring that It was untrue, as she knew the patient well. The subject of that first known op eration for appendicitis Is Miss Gart- slde, who lives In Minneapolis, and to day, at the age of 42, Is hale and hearty, with no sign of her former irouble. The case Is written up In all medical books, and the knowledge that Miss Gartslde Is again In Denver Is a matter of Interest In the medlca' world, and she has been the subject of much attention from the physicians In the city. A history of the case is found in the Oolorado Medicine. The article la pre faced by a note that states that lnves- t'atlons show that this case antedates o'l others by more than two years. hen the operation was performed In January, 1885, there was no antecedent or contemporary history of such a case. aud Dr. Grant, after studying the case, decided that It would be possible to re uicve the appendix, and without the scratch of a pen to guide him opened the abdomen and removed the appendix. The operation was performed at the Gartslde home. In Davenport, Iowa. ELEPHANT8 GOING UP. Quoted at 1280 a Vertical Foot, Instead of S240 Two Year a Ago. "A &-foot elephant costs this spring," said tho animal expert, "$1,400, as agnlnst $1,200, for which such ele phants could be bought two years ago. "Elephants, like all other wild anl ninlp, are growing scarcer with the set tlement of the globe, and their prices tend upward. More small elephants tl.in big ones are Imported because t'jey cost less to begin with and be cause they are easier and safer to transpor: and showmen like them, too, because the young elephants are more tractable and easier to train. And fcmall elephants are attractive anyway. "Then the elephant la a hardy ani mal in captivity, and It Is naturally ii rg-llved, and the young elephant In creases In value with Its growth; and so, with their prices tending upward, young elephants are good property." Women Woo Wear Exploalve Goitdi "Science, which lately furalahed a mechanical substitute for the horse, has now set about putting the lowly silkworm out of business," writes Clar ence Huttou lu Technical World Maga r.iue. Almost unknown In the United States, the manufacture of artificial silk has been ou a commercial basis In France for several yeans, the dally pro duction being now about seven tons. In forming a chemical couiiwund cor reaiwndlng to the vhseous fluid out of which the 6ilkvorm spina his delicate thread, the French chemists found, strangely enough, that the best substi tute was a polutloQ of gun-cotton, which also serves as the basis for the most Ioverful and deadly of modern explo sives. To what extent this gun-cotton silk la relieved of lbs explosive quali ties before being woven into laces and dress fabrics, seems to be somewhat questionable. Certainly a young wom an gowned In gun-cotton and wearing a dainty nltro glycerine wrap about her white shoulders, would be a moat form idable, not to say dangerous, object. It the new fabric ever becomes popular la this country It will plainly be necessary to warn young men not to approach its. wearers with lighted cigarettes or other combustibles In their ' hands. And sparking will become a most haaardous occupation. Uncle Joe aa Umpire. Uncle Joe Cannon and about half the members of the House went down the river to a planked-shad party given by the local Board of Trade, says a Wash ington letter to the St. Louis Post-Dls-putch. They organised a ball game and put Uncle Joe In as umpire. He waa spry as a cat and made some marvel ous decisions. His star performance was when Gen. George Harries, having made a home run, started round the, bases a second time. "You're out I" shouted Uncle Joe. "Why?" deiuauded Harries. "I am entitled to run until they And the ball." "Not at all," the umpire said firmly. "Your time has expired." Every farmer has dreams that aome day the spring on his farm will at tract summer visitors.
