In that connection, „^»leferred to the large vote given Mr gtoo' irat in the late New York municipal an indication of the poplari- municipal ownership of public consideration. The opposition of the beet sugar industry to the Cuban re ciprocity treaty developed a strength among the Republicans of seven votes. This was enough to defeat the ratifica tion, a two-thirds vote being necessary. The same strength could not defeat the Philippine b ill, which only requires a majority. Friday, January IB. Washington, Jan. 19. — Reform in the matter of making deficiency appro priations agitated the house today, and the entire time was devoted to its discussion, with the exception of a sort speech for free hides by Perkins, of New York. The urgency djficiency bill was being considered under general debate order, and Littauer, of New York, in charge of the bill, set the pace by pointing out the failure of the legis lation of last year to curb the heads of departments in their demands for defi ciency supplies. Thursday, January 18. Washington, Jan 18. —There was an echo of yesterday’ s stormy session in the senate today, when Tillm an presented his resolution directing a senatori«! in vestigation into the removal of Mrs. Minor Morris from the white house. The resolution provoked no debate, and Tillm an contented himself with a brief statement, in which he said that he would not have introdued the resolu tion but for the taunt of Hale. When he concluded, Daniel moved that the resolution be laid on the table, and this disposition was made of it by a vote of 54 to 8. The remainder of the day was devoted to speeches on tne pare food and merchant marine bills, McCntnber advocating the food measure aud M.dlory opposing the shipping bill. Washington. Jan. 18.— After paying a tribute to the frigate Constitution today and ordering an investigation in order to ascertain the annual amount necessary to preserve the ship, the house devoted the day until 6 :45 to the perfection and passage of a bill providing for the final disposition of the affairs of the five civilized tribes in the Indian Territory. W ith one or two minor amendments, the b ill was passed subsequently substantially as it came from the rommittee.

Mr. Braun declares that he has incontrovertible evidence that, while the number of aliens shipped to this country who are legally inadmissi ble due to disease is diminishing, im migrants inadmissible for other reasons are constantly brought into the coun try in large numbers “ by the concerted action of some European governments and steamship agencies, by bankers and schemers of all sorts.’ ’ Mngton.

INSULT TO AMERICA Many Obstacles in Way o f Appropria tion for Columbia Jetty. Washington, Jan. 19. — Chairman Burton, o f the house committee — rlv- ers and harbors, today gave a hearing to Senators Fulton and Gearin, H. W. Scott and J. N. Teal, of Portland, on the Columbia river jetty project. Rep resentative Jones, of Washington, who is a member of the committee, was also present and took part in the dis cussion. Mr. Burton is thoroughly fam iliar with the situation at the mouth of the Columbia and is fully aware ot the fact that it would be good business policy to make an appropriation this session, not so much to extend the jetty as to pro tect the work that has been done dur ing the past season. He realizes that, unless an appropriation is made, the sea end of the jetty, and particularly the unprotected tramway, w ill be left at the mercy of the heavy seas and lia ble to he damaged to the extent of sev eral hundred thousand dollars. But, while Mr. Burton is in sym pathy with the Oregon men and while he recognize) the wisdom of an appro priation to protect the new portion of the jetty, he is not w illing to give any assurances that such an appropriation w ill be made. There is no general river end harbor bill this session, and it is a serious question in Mr. Burton’s mind whether it w ill be possible to pat through special legislation In the interest of only a few emergency pro jects. Mr. Burton stated, and the Oregon delegation agreed with him, that it would be utterly impossible to pass a special bill making an appropriation for this one project. Such a b ill would be amended in the house and senate by the addition of appropriations for in numerable projects until in the end it would become a regular river and bar bor bill, and under existing conditions a bill of that character would stand no show of passage. But there are three or four other pro jects of importance, where emergencies exist similar to that at the mouth of the Columbia. Unless appropriations are made this session for the preserva tion of these works, the government w ill sustain a heavy loss. M r. Burton is considering the advisability of re porting an emergency bill making ap propriations for these specific projects only, but he is not yet satisfied that such a bill could get through without being amended to embrace many other projects. Mr. Burton, because of ths condi tion that exists in congress and because of the difficulties that stand in the way of special river and harbor legislation, w ill hold out no promises to the Ore gon representatives, though he freely admits his interest in Columbia river improvement and expresses his per sonal belief that an appropriation should be made An appropriation of $1,800,000 can not be had, bat it is possible that $400,000 may be procured. Mr. Bur ton explains that it would be impose! ble to pass any bill which did more than provide fuuds to protect work al ready done. (fe ft Q Satisfied With lÎOIlble With Prance. FRENCH WARSHIPS ARE AT HAND ment w ill share with the president and Secretary Root the knowledge of the exact form which this expression of her displeasure at President Castro’ s action w ill take. Meantime the delicacy of the situa tion at Caracas is greatly increased by news which has recently reached here from that city regarding the attitude President Castro now appears to be assuming toward M r. Russell, the American minister. Unless this atti tude is radically modified, it may be necessary to dispatch an American war ship even nearer the Venezuelan coast than has already been planned. Presi dent Castro, it is said, w ill be given to understand that any treatment of an American representative such as that accorded to M. Taigny w ill not be tol erated. The cause which can be ascribed here for Mr. Castro’ s attitude toward M r. Russell is that the former insists upon regarding as personal rather than official the efforts which Mr. Russell has made to assist a peace ful settlement of theiFranco-Venezuelan troubles. The request of the French government that its interests in Vene zuela be looked after by Mr. Russell was immediately granted for the reason that such a request is invariably grant ed by a friendly power however difficult the task. France has adopted a simple pro gram for her treatment of the Venezue lan situation. It provides for an im mediate and comprehensive apology by Castro for his treatment of M. Taigny, which treatment the Paris officials re gard as insulting and intolerable. One dispatch sent to Mr. Russell last Sunday had not been delivered to him up to the time the last dispatch was sent by him to the State depart ment. This is being inquired into by the department. FU N D S FO R SEA W A LL. Revolution Spreads to Dots o f Land in Baltic. 8t. Petersburg, Jan. 18.— In addition to the Caucasus and a few localities in Siberia, the open revolt is now chiefly confined to small islands off the Baltic coast, where the difficulty of landing troops hampers the subjugation of the revolutionists. The icebreaker Yermak, carrying detachcments of marines and infantry, has been unable to reach the principal island, Osel, at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, and is now await- ng a light-draft steamer to land the troops. Following the example of their brothers on the mainland, the peasan try ol even the tiniest islands in the Baltic have instituted independent re publics. One of these, on the islet of Linsuitt, probably the smallest state in the world, already boasts of a second revolution and a second president, the citizens having risen and overthrown the first president. The present chief magistrate, Jamneenson, is addressing them in proclamations as “ my faithful subjects.’ ’ Petition to Save Constitution. Boston, Jan. 19. — Eric Pape, the artist, left Boston yesterday for Wash ington with the “ Constitution peti tion ,” which he expects to present to congress. W hile in Washington Mr. Pape w ill try to secure th: signatures to the petition of many men prominent in national life, who have expressed themselves as favorable to the move ment to save "O ld Ironsides.” The petition is an immense affair, and re- quires four men to rarry it. It is esti mated that over 20,000 persons have signed it. New Governor for Alaska. Washington, Jan. 19. — Assuming that J. G. Brady, governor of Alaska, proposes to resign his position, M. H.

One grandmother lived far away from him, and sent him presents — a striped worsted ball, a “ Mother Goose's Melo dies,” a cotton-flannel pig, a calico oat, a rag doll and a pair o f reins; and the other grandmother lived with Bobby, and had to play bull, read “ Mother Goose,” squeal for the cotton-flannel pig, “ miau” and “ acat” for the calico cat, make dresses for the rag doll, and drive Bobby all over the house, crying, “ Get up, horsey!” O f all his presents Bobby liked the reins best. They were red reins, hung with tiny Jlnglers. When grandma had callers, and so could not play “ horsey,” Bobby used to loop the reins over a chair-hack, and, sitting on a cricket, drive round the country until the callers were gone. Somebody else In the family liked the red reins with Jlnglers. That was Pussy Grny, the pretty Maltese kitten. She used to chase round after grandma and the prancing horse, and whenever the team stopped she would come frisking up, lift a little fore paw and set the bright hells ringing. One day grandma had several call prs, and the last one was the minister, and he took Bobby up on one knee and Pussy Gray on the other. The reins were left over the chair-back. "Those are my new reins,” said Hobby. “ M.v grandma that lives nwuy off sent them to me.

The court sustained the validity of the so-called sea wall act, jassed by the legislature in March, 1903, which authorized the state board of harbor commissioners to issue $2,000,000 in bonds to complete the San Francisco sea wall. The harbor commissioners proceeded to issue bonds under this act, but State Treasurer Reeves refused co approve the issue. The commissioners there upon applied to the Supreme court for writ of mandamus to compel the state treasurer to sign the bond issue. The court by its decision today d i rects the state treasurer to sign the bonds.

That nothlug la harder in nature than a diamond and that a diamond alone can cut a diamond Is a popular belief o f loug standing. Yet there Is something harder. A new substance has made Its appearance which. If It can be obtalued ¡n sufficient quantity, will probably replace the diamond a'ike in the operations o f drill boring aud In the lapidary's workshop, for It Is harder than diamond; so hard.

This substance la pure me tallic tantalum. Tantalum is not a common metal, yet It Is also not one o f the rarest. Its existence was discovered more than a century ago. Pure tautalum was first prepared by Dr. Bolton, a member o f the famous electrical engineering firm of Siemens & Halske. One of his methods Is to fuse the double fluoride o f potassium and tantalum with metallic potassium in an electric furnace In vacuo, but he seems to prefer a much simpler electrical method. Making up the oxide Into a fllament, exactly like that o f a Nernst Incandescent lamp, he places it in a globe connected to an air pump and turns on the current. The oxide Is decomposed and the oxy gen being gradually removed by the pump the fllament Is reduced to the metallic state. Tantalum uiffers from all other known substance In combining ex treme hardness with extreme ductility. When red hot It Is easily rolled Into bars and sheets or drawn luto wire. It Is scarcely affected by the oxygen o f the air, even at a red heat, and not at all at ordinary temperatures, aud the strongest acids fall to dissolve It; nor does It amalgamate with mer cury.
