The alten tion of the Senate vrks devoted to day to consideration of report of confer ence committee, aet speeches on pas sage of bills to which there was little or no objection, and an executive ses sion. The session began at 10 o'clock In the morning and continued until 8 In the evening.

Speechea were made by Mr. Cullomonthe conduct of foreign af fairs by Presidents McKlnley and Roosevelt, by Mr. Teller on the public Isnd question, and by Mr. McLaurln on the old age pension order and trusts. Mr. McLaurln contended that the pension order lis nothing leas than legislation by the executive branch of tbe government and therefore unjus tified and unwarranted. Ma, Mc Laurln said that of the 318 trusts, the administration had proceeded against only onr. He criticised Mr. Roosevelt as an unsafe man for the presidency. When the conference report on tbe Postoffice appropriation bill waa pre sented Mr. Clay and Mr. Gorman ex pressed'regret that theSenate conf eeres had found It necessary to eliminate tbe Senate provision permitting rural free delivery carriers to take subscriptions for newspapers, and Mr. Simmons ob jected to the striking out of the Sen ate amendment providing that the condition of roads in any proposed district should not be allowed to pre vent the eatablishment of rural free delivery route. Mr. Frye called up and asked con sideration of tbe bill creating a mer chant marine commission. Mr. Bailey indicated a disposition to object, say ing it was his opinion that the com mission would devote itself to the col lection of data in the Interest of a ship subsidy bill, but Mr. Frye replied that in all probability the result would be a recommendation of discriminating duties. Mr. Bailey then withdrew his objection and the bill was passed. Mr. Lodge stated tbat be would like to bring up the Philippine bill, pro viding there waa time. He asked Mr. Allison what was the prospect of ad journment. Mr. Allison said that insofar asappro tlon bills were concerned there could be an adj3urnment to-morrow. "I understana that one important con ference muat ba disposed of before we adjourn. The bill relatine to the canal zone. I learn it la absolutely essential that It ahall be pasted in some form at the present session." a "I understand," remarked Mr. Lodge, "that there ought to be some Panama legislation before we ad journ." "So I understand," answered Mr. Allison.

'And yet," be add ed, "you denounce as a socialist an anarchist, a radical or an agrarian, any man thai would introduce on thla floor a bill directly to raise wages out Of the United States treasury. He then aaked the direct question of Mr. LUtlefield if he endorsed the ad ministration of President McKlnley, yes or no. "Yes," snswerei Mr. Llt tlefieid. "Every word of it," Mr. Wllliama further inquired. "Yep," was the re ply. Mr. Williams then reminded Mr. LUtlefield that they stood together against the spirit of colonialism, and aid if be (Williams) bad said yea or no simply to the inquiry as to wnetner he approved the Cockran speech he would not have been telling the truth.

WARM WIRELETS possibly be any trade in tbe United Bute.; Mr. Williams inquired of the Re publicana if they were going out on the issue "borrowed from the gam blers' table of atandlng pat," and why the President was hurrying up Con greaa and trying to get rid of it. The Democrata, he aald, had been charged with having no principles or issue, "The only trouble is." he said, "tbat your policies of inaction and malactlon have been, growing up around us un til they are so numerous as to consti tute a wilderness that wb can hardly find our way out of."

He waa inter rupted with cries of "yes" or "no" from the Republicana. , Continuing, Mr. DeArmond aald tbat if Mr. LUtlefield wanted infor mation as to the Democratic poaiuon, he would say that tbe position of tbe Democrata waa to take off or to, lower tbe duties wherever those duties shel tered trust.

Hew to Diaac-C the Saecmlemt Holi day Fowl. If there la one person at the annual Christmas feast who is not really and truly happy it is he to whom is Intrust ed the Important task of carving the turkey For the benefit of those who are called upon to prepare the turkey for the plates of the feasters a few words of advice are always acceptable. And first and all important is the ad monition to secure a tender bird and a Bharn knife, for upon these two consid erations depend the peace of mind ana the success of the carver. Incidentally It is an excellent thing to have the guests engaged in active conversation, because no matter how skillful the carver he will surely be? handicapped If the moment required for his task 1 marked by silence on the part of those about the board. Once the conditions made favorable the carver grasps the fork in his left hand and places It In the breast'of the turkey. Then the knife, held in the right hand, is laid parallel with and close to the neck just above where the left wing is Joined to the body. The knife 1 brought down with a sweep, and the Joint is disconnected. The carver continues the stroke downward and separates the leg and then the sec ond Joint from the carcass. This oper ation is repeated on the members of the right Bide of the fowl. The next tk and one which seems comparatively simple Is the slicing of the breast meat. The slices should be made parallel to the breast bone so as to follow the grain of the meat. The meat appears far more palatable when so cut After slicing off the breast meat the wishbone is removed by slip ping the knife under the point of the bone and sw.eeplng it downward to ward the neck. The stroke which for ordinary sized families is generally the last i that which is taken upward from the "pope's nose" so as to catch the "oys ter bone." This stroke reveal the stuff ing, which can be sliced off easily. And with the service of this the carver lays aside knife and fork, happy be cause of the successful accomplish ment of a difficult task. pew to Present ClirUtmTree Flrea. People cannot be too careful in guard ing " against fire when trimming a Christmas tree, says a writer In Good Housekeeping. There have been score of Christmas tree fatalities in homes and In Sunday schools which very, little care might have prevented. The writer once set a tree in a blaze, consuming nearly half of it, tinsel ornaments going with the green branches. A tiny candle had been wired too hleh. and it took only a few minutes of its brisk heat to char a branch above It and start a flame. A thick portiere was torn from its pole and thrown over the blaze. If it had not been at hand, the light window cur tain in another minute would have 'caught fire. Since that Christmas our tree has always been placed in the cen ter of the room, and we have eschewed cotton wool, tissue paper angels and celluloid ornaments. First of all, we wire each candle securely in place at the farthest end of a branch which has nothing above It, either fir tree or trimming. Then as the tree Is denuded we watch carefully the fast disappear ing candles. Sometimes one of them, nearly burned down, will topple over or be merely a spark of flame, but near to something Inflammable, and be a menace. By Teleffr&Dh to the Mornlnz Btar. Narw York, April 27.

The cotton I market opened ateady at an advance l,t three to five points on aeuve cov ering, promoted by very firm English cables, particularly in reference to spot cotton, sale of which were re ported of 10,000 bale at an advance of J two point, angiian caoieaior lutures, reflecting the Improvement in trade conditions, were also higher than ex pected. Borne of the home element ahowed an inclination to continue the aelling movement, started la'e yesterday, and their offering for a time restricted the advanc ing tendency. It waa the first May notice day In New Orleans and apprehensions aa to the effect of notices in that market at first seem ed lo restrict buying, but N it soon de veloped tbat the Southern bulla are taking all tendera with private wlrea Indicating tbat they were bidding for more. Thla started a more active de mand in the local market. 8pot in terests seemed to be buying the Sum mer months and May while commis aion houses had buyina order for the latter positions in spile of the taet that lbje weather man was thought to be generally favorable. Prices be fore midday had been advanced to 13.75 for May, 13.96 for July and 11.50 for October, net gains of fifteen to twenty points. This level attracted more liquidation by smaller lones. however, and a renewal of selling by the room shorts who had covered early, and during the afternoon tbe market, while very irrezular. ahowed a somewhat easier tendency In spite of light estimates for to-morrow's receipts at leading points and predictions for an other bullish Liverpool to-morrow aa a result of the bullish developments In New Orleans. Boot interests that bad been buying in the forenoon were sell ing in the late market and there ap pears to be more bear pressure. The market was finally steady at a net ad vance of nine and twenty point Sales were reported of 400,000 bale. kkw York, April 27. -Cotton was steady at 13.85c. net receipts 804 bales gross receipt 304 bales; stock 102,599 bale.
