Washington, Mar. Slet, 1902. No important legislation wai tccom- pliahed last week in the eenute. Tbe firnt (our tlaya were devoted to tbe die cuesion of the anti-oleomargirine bill and on Thunday adienrnment was taken until this morning. Tula doe not mean, however, that tbe aenaton were Idle, for a large amount of im portant committee work baa been dis posed of. Senator Lodge ha practically completed the Philippine civil bill and it will be reported to the senate at an early date. The minority have out- liuetl their view in what may be pre sented as a minority report or may be uaed merely is a baaii on which to con- teat the passage of the meaaure on the floor of tbe senate. Senator Proctor 'i committee baa considered the advisa bility of presenting a distinct bill pro viding a tax on renovated or "process" butter, and of amending the oleomar garine hill to tb lame effect. Senator Harris, of Kansas, ii the instigator of this movement. Senator Allison has been doing a large amount of work on the appropriation committee, there now being four appropriation bills which bave been tossed by tb senate. On Thursday, Senator Patterson, of Colorado brought up the subject of General Funstou'a capture of Aguinaldo and read in support of the contention tbat the capture was not in accordance with xe principles of civilized warfare, the major portion of a magazine article written by the general himself. The bouse of representative! passed the army appropriation bill with but one important amendment. That provides that the secretary of war may call into active service those officer! who bave been retired for disability and have later recovered from such disability. The amendment ii aimed at certain officers who have been retired and have later 10 far recovered as to be able to earn competencies outside of the ser vice. On Friday the house devoted it self to the pension bills of which there were a great number on the calendar. Saturday was devoted to the considera tion of a bill making various charges in the revenue cutler service and today the coniideratlon of the lundry civil hill will begin. ibis bill provides for a number of military and other parks, a large number of pdblic building!, etc. On Thursday, Representative Richard son, the democratic leader, I'artled the house by the introduction of resolutions calling for the investigation of certain charges of bribery in connection with tbe ratification of the'tr.aty effecting the sale of the Danish West Indiei. These charges were made in an alleged report of one Captain Christmas, a quasi agent of the Danish government. Speaker Hen derson appointed a committee consist ing of four republicans and three democrats to make the investigation. On Friday tbe full text of tbe alleged report appeared in tbe Congreasional Record and a careful reading conveya the idea that Captain Christmas, with a view to securing his reinstatement in the Danish army, from which he had been discharged, came to thil country to promote the transfer of the Islands. He came with the conviction that political methods in this country were parlicu larly corrupt ami accordingly aought corrupt methods of effecting his ends He appears to have come in contact with certain members of "the third house as the lobbyists are called, and they, leading him to believe that they could exert great influence with members of congress, induced him to entertain them lavishly. His methods becoming known to me government, which had never officially authorized him to negotiate with the United States, he was promptly discredited and is now seeking to recover the funds so foolishly expended. The only serious aspect of the situation seems to be that Secretary Hay received this man and at his suggestion pen i tied representative of this government to ac company him to t0enliagen, where our lepresentalive immediately opened negotiations with the proper officials. The fact tint Christmas introduced representative of this government to the Danish minister of Foreign affair! seems to be the only valid grounds on which he can base any claim of Laving partici pated ia the negotiations. If Secretary Hay was aware of the existence of Captain Christmas' report he may he open to some ciiticism for not having culled the attention of the senate to the matter Ix-lore the ratifica tion of the treaty. The members o( both bouse of congrers seem to be glad that tbe matter has been officially called to their attention as they believe that tbe investigation will serve to remove any shadow which the ondenied report might bave cast on congressional action. Ueneral Dick, of Ohio, baa made hie report on the new militia law in tbe bouse. Speaking on tb ubjct the general told me recently that his bill bad the approval of the president and ANEMIA is little red in the blood. The red in the blood is the oxygen-carrier. Better to breath with half of one lung than not have enough red in the blood. The blood is full of digested food ; but it can't build muscle and nerve and bone without oxygen. Scott's emulbion of cod-liver oil puts red in the blood : the oxygen-carrier. It is like build ing a railroad into a famine stricken country. trvil ti r UU u far. u y UU. storr bun at, u i-ari m, kw vt the secretary of war. The bill provides, said the gtneral, that practically all able bodied citizen! between the age of 18 and 45 shall be liable for military duty. The militia is organized into threeclassea, the organized militia, the national volunteer reserve and the reset ve militia,. The present national guard will be organized and equipped like the regular army and will he subject to the call of the president for a period not to ex ceed nine month. Wheo so called they will receive the same pay and allow ance a the regular troops and will be subject to the earn discipline. The equipment of this branch shall be at the expense of the national government. Tbe payment of fund to the different tales and territories, which ha hereto fore been availall only for equipment, will hereafter be available for any legiti mate expenses, but the militia muat bave fulfilled certain conditions in re gard to drill, marches, encampments, etc. An Important feature of the bill pro vides tbat officers of the militia, who ball have been nominated by the governor and appointed by the president, ahall be entitled to a course at a military school or college, ahall receive the same travel allowance! and quarter a an officer ot the regular army and aubslstenco at the rale of II per day. Militiamen in the service of the national government will come under the same provisions in re gard to pension a the regular troops. Another provision of tbe bill author ize the aecretary of war to enroll not to exceed 100,000 men, who shall have served in the national guard, who ahall constitute a volunteer reserve, each en rollment to cover a period of five year! Thi reserve (hall be next called Into service after tbe national guard. Shake Into Your Shots Allen' Foot-Ease, a powder.

An electric bicycle car crashed into the Southern Pacific mail car at Port land Saturday morning, doing slight damage but injuring no on. Wet rail and a atsep grade together with the act that the uiotoiman did not apply the brake soon enough, were responsible for the accident.

A writer for th Cincinnati Comma r- Owe No Maus AarthlBB. c)a, xribuue gives the following pertinent instance: At one time I was treasurer of ths church, trosteea, and had the temporal affair in my handa. During my Incumbency I dsslt with a minister who never asked tor money, who never for sight year ever asked m a thing about th money affair. - At on time I spoka to him about It, and he told m an experience something out of ths ordinary. "In my early daya," he said, "I was sta tioned st a small chureh near Zanes vllle. 'The salary was meager, but, at there were but two, It wa sufficient. At the end of the year, however, my wife sud myself found, after taking an acoount of stock, that we were in debt to aeveral of the Httle (tores In sums that aggregated say 130. To both of u at thu sani time there cam the iiijunctlou: '0w no man anything.' There, almost on bended kneea, we resolved to pay that debt forthwith at any aacrlfiee, and never again while we lived to charge even a penny nor to contract a debt of any form." The aaluted maa went on; "We war re ceiving about $31 a month. We had plenty of nseal, a little smoked meat and enough potatoes to last ua. On thoas, witb milk from a neighbor cove and a few donation, w lived through January and Februury In perfect hap piness. By the flrat of Mareb every cent of the debt wa paid, and that auded It.
