CONGRESS. Senate. At the opening of the session the exe citing and momentous scenes of the past week had given way to a dull and omber routine. Attendance on the oor and in the galleries was small. At 12:27 p. m. a message was received from the house of representatives an- nouncing th signature of the speaker to the Cuban resolutions. Eight minutes afterward the vice-president announc- ed his signature to the Cuban resolu- tions. The senate Tuesday passed Mr. Finck’s bill allowing holders of a junior mortgage to enforce it without waiting for the other mortgage to expire. Mr. Stewart's (of Mahoning) bill, allowing families and relatives of persons killed or injured by mob violence damages against the county in which such vio- lence occurred, passed the senate and is a law. In five hours of discussion in the | Senate Wednesday of its recent ac- tions upon the Cuban resolutions only one new point was developed. That was made by Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, in the course of a brief statement con- cerning the recognition of the Cuban republic’s independence. He said: “I think quickly, speedily, possibly even now, on the very day when the ultimatum has been sent to Spain, pur- suant to the resolutions that passed here, this Government has practically recognized the republic of Cuba, and I think possibly it is true we will all know by to-morrow that the govern- ment is to-day being with by the representatives Government, as it should be.” Being pressed by Mr. Tillman for the source of his information, Mr. replied that his information “was posi- tive, but not official.” Mr. Allison presented an amendment to the sundry civil hill appropriating and making immediately available $473,151 with which to pay to Great Britain the award for Bering sea claims made by the joint convention of February 29, 18396. The amendment was. agreed to. The sundry civil bill, which has been pending for two weeks and which car- ries a large amount of money intended of this to be used in the strengthening of the | finally | country’s coast defense, was passed Thursday by the senate. The naval appropriation bill was immedi- ately taken up, and practically com- pleted, although, pending the discus- sion of an amendment concerning the price of armor plate, the bill was dis- placed in order that the measure tem- porarily increasing the lishment of the of war might be considered. long discussion of the bill, as amended by the committee, it was passed. The sundry civil which passed the senate Thursday and was sent Friday to a conferee commit- | tee of the two houses, contains appro- | priations aggregating $1,250,000 for con- tinuing the improvements on the Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, au- | thorized by previous congresses. Sen- ator Quay was influential enough in the senate to have the appropriation for this purpose retained at the high sum fixed by Representative William | A. Stone in the house. Thus, as the items were not changed by the senate, they will not be disturbed in conference and will be in the bill when it receives the approval of the president. House. While the journal was being read Mr. Hager (Rep., To.), chairman of the com- mittee on enrolled bills, Cuban resolution, which had heen en- rolled under his personal direction. The speaker immediately signed them, and as soon as the reading of the jour- nal was concluded, at 12:16 p. m., he an- nounced his signature. Mr. Grosvenor then, as a question of personal privilege, had read at the clerk’s desk an editorial in a New York paper commenting upon his statement in the house on April 7, that ‘this war will be fought under the banner of the Republican administration of this gov- ernment or it will not be fought at all.” Mr. Grosvenor explained the circum- stances under which the statement was made. Me had been delighted with the record the Democratic party had made and, in the statement he had only meant that as the present administra- tion had three years to run that the war which was upon us must be fought during its life or not at all. He had meant no reflection and had appealed to both sides of the house to stand by the executive, who had been assaulted. Mr. Dingley stated that in view of the fact that the house had been sitting all night and that the members were weary, he would move to adjourn. Ac- cordingly at 12:32 p. m., the house ad- journed. The house Tuesday passed Mr. Payne’s bill authorizing Columbus to issue $50,000 bonds for the relief of the poor fund. The bonds run from 10 to 20 years and bear not to exceed 6 per cent interest. The city poor depart- ment finds itself in need of such a re- lief measure. Since the abolishment of cutdoor relief two years ago the city has expended more money than it had to Its credit in the poor fund and ac- cordingly went to the legislature for relief. The consideration of the contested election case of Patterson vs. Carmack, from the Tenth Tennessee district, was interrupted Thursday in the house to allow the passage without division of the joint resolution to authorize the president in his discretion to prohibit the exportation of coal and other war material. The measure to prevent the shipment of coal to Cuban, Porto Rican and other ports, where it could be used by Spain. The speaker before the house adjourned. The House Wednesday passed as an emergency war measure the bill em- powering the President to call out the volunteer forces and providing for their organization. The bill is permanent in its character. The principal change made in the bill as introduced was that the appointments of all regimental of- ficers are to be made by the governors of the States instead of by the Presi- dent, as was proposed originally by the war department. This action conforms to the practice of the civil war. There was a tremendous sensation in the House tmmediately after the of the journal when Mayor Pruden, the President's executive clerk, an- nourrced the President's approval “of the Cuban resolutions. The galleries cheered and the members on the floor applauded vigorously. The conferees of the two houses on the volunteer army bill reached an agreement before Congress convened Friday. According to this agreement the Senate receded from the first amendment concerning the time in which the organized militia shall serve, but the time for which all volunteers are to be enlisted is reduced from three years to two The fiber of the ramie “plant, origin- ally an East Indian perennial of the nettle family, but now cultivated in the West Indies and in the southern part of the United States, and used for al- most every purpose heretofore served by cotton, is considered to be the com- ing textile fiber.

MAY HAVE MEANT WELL. But Her Efforts Did Not Meet with Much Success, It takes fully six months for a story like the following to become public property. . Last season a Washington woman, possessing both social and ! charitable ambitions, elected to give a reception. The affair was to be very exclusive. Judge of the surprise wuen a bundle of invitations was left at the door of a hospital in town upon whose | board of managers Mrs. Z. serves. The invitations were found to be addressed to the trained nurses of the institution, and great was the wonder that the pro- fessional ranks had been invaded for society recruits. A few days elapsed, and Mrs. Z. paid a visit to the hospital. Making herself extremely agreeable, she remarked to the nurses “Well, girls, I hope you received cards to my reception?’ Smiles and acknowledgments an- swered in the affirmative, and Mrs. Z. went on complacently: “Indeed, I was only too glad to re- member you all. 1 appreciate much work and how little play you girls have, and I thought you would enjoy a little glimpse of society fun.” “No doubt of it, Mrs. Z.,” one of the nurses spoke up, “but none of us are likely to have gowns suitable to wear at such a function.” least,” returned the “Now, my ldea is this. = Of course, 1 understand you have no evening owns, and that you know very few soclety people, but these facts must not interfere with your getting a peep at my guests and eating some of my sup- per.
