In the senate Monday, Mr. Call intro duced a joint resolution to suspend the list of swamp and ovet flowed public lands in Florida until further action of congress, and asked for its passage. After considerable discussion it went orcr without action and the senate took up the pension appropriation bill. The pension appropriation bill passed with but little discussion and without amend ment. The agricultural appropriation bill was reported and placed on the cal endar. The conference report od the military academy bill was agreed to. A conference was ordered on the sundry civil appropriation bill and Messrs. Alli son, Hale and Gorman were appointed conferees on part of the senate. A bill, local to the District of Columbia, was under discussion wbcD, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, on motion of Mr. Faulk- ner, business was suspended, in order that fitting tributes might be paid to the memory of his late colleague, sen ator John E. Eenna, who died in Wash ington last January. Mr. Faulkner offered the usual resolution of sor row and condolence, and went ot to deliver a eulogy on the dend senator. Mr. Faulkner was followed by Messrs. Frye, Gorman, Blackburn, Cullom, Gray. Vest, Stewart, Daniel, Hawley, and by Kenua’s successor in the senate—Mr. CamdeD. The resolutions were unani mously adopted and the senate at o’clock adjourned- till 11 o’clock Tues day. In the senate, Tuesday, the naval ap propriation bill was taken up with amendments and reported from the com mittee on appropriations, being first act ed upon. The amendmeit appropriat- $1100,000 for a naval review was agreed to after a somewhat caustic criti cism of the Villard petitiou for money to entertain foreign d : gnitaries in New York. The Hudson river bridge bill was then taken up, but it was displaced by the agricultural appropriation bill which passed with a few unimportant amend ments. Mr. Teller gave notice that he would move to take up the McGarrahan bill Wednesday morning, and Mr. Hill gave a like notice as to the Hudson river bridge bill. The senate then, at 6 o’clock p. m., adjourned. Soon alter meeting, the senate, Wed nesday, on motion of Mr. Sherman, went into the executive session without oppo- tion from the democrats. The doors were closed for about half an hour, and when they were reopened the routine morning business was proceeded with. At the close of the morning hour Mr. Hill, in pursuance of notice given Tues day evening, moved to proceed to the consideration of the Hudson river bridge. Ignoring the request of Mr. Teller to with draw the motion until the McGarra han bill was taken up, it was laid aside temporarily (not losing the right of way) in order to have the postcffice appropriation bill consid ered. The first amendment that pro voked discussion was the one striking out of the bill the items of $190,000 for special facilities on trunk lines. Mr. Call opposed the amendment, but moved to strike out of the paragraph words specifying the route as being “from Springfield, Mass., via New York and Washington, to Atlanta and New Or leans,” and also to striae out the proviso that no part of the appropriation shall be expended unless the postmaster general shall deem such expenditure necessary in order to promote the interest of the postal servico. He argued in favor of sending a fast mail by the Tampa line. Mr. Call’s proposition was antagonized by Messrs. Gordon, Hinton and Daniel, who argued in favor of retaining Hie paragraph as it came from the bouse. A conference was or dered on the naval appropriation bill. Discussion on the posloflice appropriation bill was continued by Messrs. White, Cul- lotn, Gorman, Butler, Vilas, Pasco and Call and w.,s again interrupted in order to have the conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill acted upon. This action deprived the Hudson river bill of its right of way. Pending discussion, a conference was ordered on I he agricultural appropriation bill, and Messrs. Allison, Cu lom and Ca’l were appointed conferees on part of the senate, acd the conference r. port on the District of Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to. The galleries of the senate were crowd ed all day Thursday, but there was very little in the pr.icet dings that could inter est them. The postoflice appropriation bill, which had been partly considered Wednesday was completed, the paragraph relation to the southern fast mail having been modified by the adoption of the following substitute: “For nec essary and sp eial facilities on a trunk liue or line', $196,614; provided that the postmaster general shall select a trunk line or lints which shall carry tae mails,if he shall deem the expenditure a satisfac tory and profitable one.” The postoffice appropriation bill was followed by the Indian appropriation bid. This latter contained an amendment reported fro n the committee appropriating eight and a half million dollars to pay the Ctierokces for laods ceded by them in Indian territory lying betweeu Oklaho ma and Kansas. The amendment pro voked some discussion but was cven'u- aliy agreid to. Then the deficiency bill (the la-t of the appropria'ion bibs) was actcl upon. Both the Me Garrahan and New York bridge hills were crowed out by the appropria tion bill. Pending discussion of the de ficiency bill the senate, at 6 o’o'ock in., took ncess until 8 o’clock p. in. The session was resum'd at 8o’clock and the reading of the deficiency bill was proceeded with, occupying about an hour. All amendments reported from the committee on appropriations were agreed to without question, except om to pay to the assignees of John Roach $128, lfSO for labor and mstrrial furnish- 1 in completing the dispatch boat Dolphin. The twenty-two last pages the bill contained tterns for French spoliation claims, amounting to $792,752. The bill was then open to eueral amendments. Many were offered tnd agreed to, most of them uuimpor- tant, and for small amounts. Air. Pasco fla red an amendment for the settlement of accounts between the United States and the state of Florida, for expenses in curred in the Fiorida Indiin wars. Agreed to. The bill wss then passed. At 11 o’clock p. m. memorial servic. s were held in respset to the memory of the late Representative Craig, of Penn sylvania, and of the late Reprcsenta’ive Warwici, 0 f Ohio.

Mas* concurred in, and that unless the senate recedes on the Sherman bond amend ment the house conferees shall insist on their disagreement and report the amendment to the house for its approval or disapproval. Mr. Wise moved to sus pend the rules and concur in the senate amendment to the car coupler bill. The bill was pused. After agreeing to the conference re port on the diplomatic and consular ap propriation bill, the house, Tuesday morning, proceeded to the consideration of the Alabama contested ehctiou case of McDuffie vs. Turpin, the majority re port being in favor of Turpin, the sit- tin" democratic member. The anti-rption bill was flnanlly de feated Wednesday by a vote of 172 to 124. General Hatch took his last desperate chance of its passage by moving to sus pend the rules and agree to the senate amendments. The motion required a two-thirds vote. The opponents of the bill were determined. Under a motion to suspend the rules no leeway, how ever, is given for fiibustering and the most they could do was to marshal their forces for a vote. Tom Johnson, of Ohio, assumed the leadership of the op position. The speeches of both sides were exceedingly caustic. The vote re sulted 172 to 124, thirty-seven less than the necessary two-thirds. The vote in- dicites the strong drift of sentiment against the measure since last June, when it had twenty-five to spare on a two-thirds vote. Before announcing ad journment, the speaker made the follow ing appointments: Visitors to the naval academy, Messrs. Cummings, Blount, and Robinson. Visitors to the military academy, Messrs. Wheeler, Gorman and Bingham. Beyond an unusudly large sudience in the galleries and the great noise upon the floor, there was nothing in the house Thursday indicating that the fifty-second congress is in its expiring hours. The house is watting for the senate to act upsn the appropriation bills. Mr. Oates called up the message of the president vetoing the bill to prescribe the number of district attorneys and marshals in the judicial district of AUbamo. The bill was passed over the veto—yeas, 178; nays, 54. Senate amendments to the postoflice appropriations bill were nonconcurred in and the bill was sent to conference. Mr. Holman submttte;. itiecon.erenco ropors on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The sundry civil appropriation bill con sumed the time of the house. There was a light over over the New York cus tom house provision and over the world’s Columbian exposition admandment. The report was agreed to—yeas, 131, nays, 119, but it is a disagreeing report. Mr. Hopkins moved to concur in the senate amendment appropriating $336,375 for the world’s Columbian commission. Be fore the motion was disposed of 8 o’clock arrived, the hour appointed for the house to pay tribute to the memory of the late Senator Kenna, of Wist Virginia and appropriate resolutions were adopted. Resolutions relative to the death of Senator Hearst, of Cali fornia, were also adopted,but no speeches were made. The sundry civil appropri ation bill was again taken up, and the senate amendments relative to the world’s fair were unanimous'y tion-concurred in. This was done in order to facilitate the transaction of business. The bill was again sent to conference. Mr. Dockery presented the conference report on the legislative appropriation bill. It was agreed to. Unfinished business was motion of Mr. Stump to sus pend the rules and pass the senate bill to facilitate the enforcement of the immigration and contract labor laws. The motion was agreed to—93 to 32. The senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill were non-concurrcd Mr. Bo.itner moved to suspend the rules and pass the joint resolution pro viding for private clerks for representa tives not chairmen of committees,which was agreed to, and then, at 12:40 o’clock, the house adjourned.

POPULISTS DECIDE TO YIELD. A later dispatch siys: The populist bouse members, after caucusing all day Monday and a part of the night, have finally decided to yield to the decree of the court and recognize the republican house. One of their members appeared in the republican house during afternoon and there was loud applause when he addressed Mr. Douglass as “Mr. Speak er.” The two houses will be atnalga- Bated. The populist senators will also .recognize the Douglass house. G6v. M’KINLEY’S TROUBLES. His Losses by the Walker Failure Growing Larger. A special from Columbus, O., says: The financial affairs of Governor McKin ley become more entangled as develop ments progress, and, on Sion day, the amount of his liabilities, caused by the Walker failure at Youngstown, was placed at $200,000. The governor has been the object of sympathy all over the country. As the story went he was an innocent and abused party, and his persistent refusals to ac cept proffered aid from wealthy and sub stantial people throughout the east and from many parties in the state have elic ited warm encomiums from everybody. The latest statement concerning the failure will cause the tongues of people all over the country to wag, because the man involved in it is William McKinley, Jr. The representations have been that Major McKinley has been tnadc a bank rupt through the treachery of a friend who had induced McKinley, “his old neighbor,” to indorse for him, and fail ing had dragged the governor down. He had relied en his friend’s honesty and had never kept account of his en dorsements, but had given them as freely and rapidly as they were asked.

APPROPRIATION FIGURES. A Statement Furnished by the Clerk of the House Committee. A Washington dispatch says: At the request of the committee on ways and menus J. C. Courts, clerk of the house committee for appropriations, has sub mitted to the committee a statement of appropriations, exclusive of miscellane ous matters, made by the house this ses- siog. It shows an aggregate of $513,- 733,185, and this amount has been in creased to $519,273,447 by changes made in bills by the senate. Following is the statement of appropriations contained in the bills according to their present si at us as agreed upon in both houses: Army, $124,225,639; for tification, $2,210,055; District of Colum bia, $5,413,223 (conference reported got a salary of $7000.

A Topeka, Kis , special of Friday says: The populist administration is preparing for a complete overhauling of the state militia. Every republican officer will be disenraged and populists put in their places. There are more than 100 com missioned ifficers in service who will have to go. Their places will be filled with trusty populists who will obey or ders. The populist military forces are not to be confined to the Kansas Na tional Guards, which has a mem bership limited to less than 1,800, but a military force of such a magnitude as has never been seen in this country ex cept in times of war, is being formed. It is estimated that fully 100,000 popu lists will be identified with this new movement. Men are now drilling all over Kansas not with guns—they have not got them yet—but with facings and marchings, and they will be dri.led with guna when they are ready for them.

In the good old tinus of yore, when our grandmothers knew the value of natural roses and clear skins, health was thought more of than style, and one set was deemed all sufficient. To-day, with the falling of the leaves, the very elegant house wife retires be hind a screen of lace, muslin and silk, there to remain until the season for de manding arrives.—Jenness Miller in Il lustrated Monthly. A True Lady. Wildness is a thing which girls cannot afford. Delicacy is a thing which cannot be lost or found, No art can restore the grape its bloom. Familiarity without confidence, without regard, is destruc tive to all that makes women exaltin^ and ennobling. It is the first duty of a woman to be a lady. Good breeding is good sense. B id manners in a woman are immorality. Awkardness may be ineradicable. Bashfuluess is constitu tional. Ignorance of etiquette is the result of circumstances. All can be con doned, aud not banish men and women from the amenities of their kind. But self-possessed, unshrinking and aggressive cosrsness of demeanor may be reckoned as a state prison of fense, and certainly merits that mild form of restraint called imprisonment for life. It is a shame for women to be lec tured on their manners. It is a bitter shame that they need it. Do not be re strained—carry yourself so lofty that men will look up to you for reward,not at you in rebuke. The natural sentiment of man teward woman is reverence. He loses a large means of grace when he is obliged to account her a being to be trained in propriety. A man's ideal is not wounded when woman* fails in wordlv wisdom; but if in grace, in tact, in sentiment, in delicrcy, in kindness, she should be •found wanting, he receives an inward hurt.—Gail Hamilton.

Help in In families where KX."—indi viduals who do not a Win the house work, and in all families where there are many little children, the wife and moth er should have “help” if it can be had. If the expense can be saved from dress, dress more plainly by all means. “Is the life more than meat, and the body than raiment!'’ If it can be saved from cigars, tobacco or the “occasional g’ass,” cr from clubs, secret, societies and the atres, let the man by all means save it there, and scorn to feed needless indul gences with his wife’s flesh and blood. And if it can be saved out of a b3nk ac count, save it from that, and instead of treasure locked up in a vault,- beaming, smiling, hopeful treasure of womanhood at I hr fireside—all of which a wife “tirid to death” cannot be, though she have the affec'ion of a Ruth and the devotion of a Hannah.

Like other so called Patent Medicines, it is well advertised, and having merit it has attained a wide sale under the name of Piso’s Cure for Consumption. It is now a "Nostrum." though at first it was com pounded after a prescription by a regular physician, with no idea that it would ever go on the market as a proprie tary medicine. But after compounding that proscrip tion over a thousand times in one year, wo named it “Piso’s Cure for Consumption,” and began advertising it in a small way. A medicine' known all over the world is the result. Why is it not just as good as though costing fifty cents to a dollar for a prescription and an equal sum to have it put up at a drug store? s.s.
