All eyes weie turned upon Mr. Butler as he took the floor and said that the woid "agentr-" meant "acting lor another," and had used the word in that sense. If there were any amendments or substitutes here prepared bv some one else the word "agent" was timely. I suppose Mr. Bell meant to iujure rne by saying that I was a demagogue. His saying so does not make me one. It lacks a great deal of making me to. Mr. Hell put the cap on and said "It fits mo," and rears around and makes an exhibition of himself in the Sen te cham ber. Mr. Bell would make a good pair with the ex-Senator from Sampson, who has delighted to call me a demagogue, and ap ply the tame epithet to all who favor a Commission. lie says . I know little about farming. However that may be, I know what the majority of the peo ple do want, and it is our duty to give it to them. They want a rate-fixing Commission, and it is our duty to give it to them. Mr. Bell iisked if Mr. Butler had not voted for the only amendment that he (Bell) had offered to the bill. Mr. Butler said "yes," and made some other reply which we could not catch, and Mr. Bell retorted, "I will talk to you about that out of doors." Mr. Butler, continuing, said: "In regard to what I said about the action of the Lieut. Gover nor, and his appointing an anti Ilailroad Commission commit tee, let mo say that it is fact that if the House committee on the Commission had stood as the Senate committee did, the bill would hav) been reported iinlavorably. A majority of the IIou.se committee favored the bill as it passed, but a ma jority of the Senate committee opposed it. In what ho hud written, lie meant it for none except thofe whom the cap fit ted. IStatt- Clirnnii-leof Friday. After tho expiratson of the morning hour, Sonator Turner arose and read from The State Chronicle a part of the proceed ings of Wednesday relating to Senator Butler's criticism on the action of Lieutenant-Governor Holt in appointing the commit tee of the Senate on tho Bail road Commission bill. Mr. Tur ner characterized the criticism as unjust to the presiding officer of the Senate. He continued at soma length, showing that the actions of President Holt in every instance had b?en fair; that he had never seen a man preside with more dignity and impartiality than Presideut Holt, and added that in select ing the committee, the Lt. Gov. had considted several Senators and sought onl 7 to constitute committee in the interest of se curing wise legislation. Mr. Butler made an explana tion and said that in the article in the.newspaper he was unin tentionally and incorrectly re ported, and that he had not re flected upon the Lt.Gov. because his language edmply referred to a fact and not to the intentions of the presiding officer. That ne neartily concurred in what Senator Turner had said. That no man esteemed the presiding officer more than he did. That his language had been miscon strued. If not Jie had been un fortunate in his expressions. He had merely said incidentally that if the House committee had been constituted as the Sen ate cote mil tee was, that the bill would not have been reported in the shape that it came before t-h Senate, and in concluding, he said "I stated this as a fact because it is a fact that the com mittee stood that way in refer ence to reporting the bill."

Regular Correspondence. WAsniNGTON", D. C, Feb. 23. Quite a political sensation has followed he announcement of Senator Gorman, whose politi cal astuteness cannot be gainsaid that he was not and would not under any combination of cir cumstances be a candidate be fore the Democratic National Convent5 on next year, and that he favored the nomination of ex-President Cleveland as the stiongest and most available man, and proposed to do all in his power to get him nominated. It is yet too sarly to see what effect this announcement will have upon those Democratic Senators and Representatives who have expressed the opinion that Mr. Cleveland's letter against the free coinage of sil ver has destroyed his availabil ity as a candidate, and what adds to the interest of the situ ation Is the fact hat some of these gentlemen have been, sine the publication of Mr. Cleve land's letter, stromrly in favor of nominating Senator Gorman. It seems strange that throe Democratic Senators should have cast their votes for such a palpable ''job ' as that contained in the Senate amendment to the diplomatic appropriation bill, which gives a subsidy of 3,000, 000 to the company, which as yet only exists on paper, that ptoposes to lay a cable between San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands, but they did. It is not believed that the House will concur in the amendment, at any rate no Democrat shou-d vote to do a thing so foreign to all the principles of theDerro cratic party. Rumors have been flying thick and fast this week anent the new Secretary of the Treasury. One day it was Representative Cannon, the next Clarkson and to-day, it is ex-Gov. ("Calico Charley") Foster, or Ohio. It is believed that Mi. Harrison has determined upon the man, and his nomination is looked for every day. Senator Quay's much adver tised speach of vindication fell as flat in the Senate as one of Senator Blair's educational har rangues, and he has gone to Flor ida to seek consolation in fishing. The general deficiency bill is this year 39,000,000. Is it strange that the surplus has dis appeared ? The international copyright bill has been passed by the Sen ate with several amendments, which makes becoming a law at this session very doubtful. Mr. Harrison and all of his cabinet, except Secretary Proc tor, went to .New York to attend Gen. Sherman's funeral. They returned to Washington last night. The Republicans in the Housa' are so much alarmed lest the wicked Democrats should inter fere with their plans during the closing rush of the session that telegraphic appeals have been sent to all absent Republicans begging them to come here and remain until the end of the ses sion. What they are specially wanted for is to pass the subsi dy shipping bill, which is op posed by nearly all of the Dem ocrats. Representative elect Jerry Simpson, and several of bis Farmers' Alliance to be, col leagues in the next House, are in town. They are the lecipients of a great deal of attention at the capitol. The House committee on Coin age to-dav reported the free coinage bill to the House, but the general belief seems to be that its friend3 will not succeed iii getting it befo.e th- House, but they intend to try very hard to do so. Senator Plumb despairing of getting his joint resolution pro viding for the violation of exist ing law by the transfer of the employes of the Census bureau to the classified departmental service without the formality of a civil service examination, has offered ii as a n amendment to the sundry civil appropria tion bill. It is commented upon rather unfavorably that Congress did not adjourn the day of Admiral Porter's funeral. , Probably the most disagreea ble legislative duty ever per formed by Senator In galls was the presentation by him this week of tho credentials of John A. Peffer, Senator-elect from the Stata of Kansas for the term be ginning March 4th, next. Notwithstanding the almost daily reiteration of the charge that somewhere In the neighbor hood of one fourth of the enor- mous amount of money paid on fraudulent claims no repub lican in or out of Congress has proposed an investigation for the purpose of purging the mil? of such names as may be shown to be there fraudulently. This, aa well as other things will be thoroughly looked into by the next House.

Tfc Cfrrriesltnai Inclade 9T!rfcelc tteMkbUf and Emtio What I CoofcMd. A cooking school that is a cooking achool has just been opened in Gothen burg. Sweden. It is an annex of the girls' part of tbe public school system there, and every yoaii? woman whole graduated wast learn oil that the prac tical cooks ia the annex can teach. Tho cookijjg course is a part of the se nior year curriculum and includes twenty-four lesions. Twelve of these lessons are theoretical. The rest are practical. Ten of the practical loHBone of two hoars each are devoted to in struction in tbe most popular meat? and vegetables. Tho girls are obliged to peel potatoes, skin onions, pluck and stuff chickens, spit roasts and the like. They put on the- kettles, feed and regu late the tires, wash the dishes and clean up generally after all is done. Three lessons of two hours each concern ex clusively the preparation of bouillon, toast and rice water, barley soup and other hkuilar dishes for ill persons. The young women are instructed in classes of five, and each group prepares successively every dish in the course. The cooking is done mornings, the cooked dishes are served for the din ners of the pupils and teachers, and every girl is obliged to eat what she has had a hand in preparing, or go with out During the afternoon each stu dent writes a description of how and what she cooked, and appends sugges tions as to epicurean huprovemente that have occurred to her mind since she finished the dish. These reports are read and corrected by the instruct ors, and at the end of the course the girl who cooked best and suggested the most palatable innovations in the proc ess will get a gold medal. The course is unique in two particu lars. All the girls must go to market with the instructors very early and buy all the stuff to be used in the kitchen. Every Saturday is given over to house cleaning. All the girls must then get into their old gowns and gloves, twist up their hair in tight little knots with out a friz in front or a fringe behind, and knuckle down to scouring the floor, washing the windows, polishing the brass and cleaning the walls. The Gothenburg experiment is new. If it proves successful other cooking annexes to public schools will be opened in other Swedish cities. Now York Sun. . A Dog IfilloHopher. Not long since I had an excellent op portunity of observing one of the rovers. I am not learned in canine varieties, but should suppose he was some kmd of mongrel terrier. Anyhow, he was an odd little creature, with body de cidedly long in proportion to the legs, with a gray and brownish coat, which was so thin as to give him a mangy look, and, lastly, with a moist, senti mental eye. If dogs had their religious sects one would set him down as a Methodist He belonged, with two other dogs, to a friend of mine, who used to bring them to my house when picking me up in his morning walk. The odd litUo creature contrasted strongly with another of the trio, who was about bis own size, in the sedate ness of liis manner and his pliilosophic indifference to small canine worries. Thus it was not uncommon to see his companion mentally upset by the sight of a butcher's cart proceeding, as he no doubt thought, at an indecorous ly wild pace. Or his usual serenity would now and again be rudely broken by the appearance of a cat, or even that apparently harmless creature, the cat a vietim, the sparrow, which he would pursue in a frenzy of rage, leaping in impotent wrath underneath the tree to which the nimble little creature would naturally betake itself for ehelter. None of these things moved our ca nine philosopher. He paid not the slightest heed to his companion's vio lent rushings and barkings. As became a thinker, his voice was rarely heard. I have seen him set upon by his more mercurial companion in a fit of ob streperous jocosity, yet with admirable self restraint he 'would suffer himself to be barked at, knocked ngdrygt and even scrambled over, without uttering tho slightest protest Itoeeurredto me that, like a recent British logician, he found the racket of the street favorable to philosophical abstraction.

SL&tUUea Prove That tbe Bene Cer I Past Lel- IU UmIbm. At tbe convention of the American Street Railway association at Buffalo, in many ways one of the most impor tant gatherings of the kind ever seen in this country, President Lowry congrat ulated tbe association on the progress which had been made in the work of the association since I'js organization in 1882. He alluded to the fact that the United States government had recog nized the growing importance of city passenger traffic by incorporating in its census statistics for 1890 a report on street railways in cities of over 50,000 inhabitant In this report fifty-six cities are in cluded, and out of a total of 3,150 miles of track possessed by them 2,351 miles are operated by horses, 2C0 miles by electricity, 255 miles by cable and 221 miles by steam. In the smaller cities electricity is being generally adopted, and there are already in operation In cities and towns under 50,000 inhabit ants about 1,600 miles of electric street railway." Mr. Lowry added : I am so thoroughly convinced that electricity is the coming power for street railways (except heavy grade, where the cable is best suited), and that it win prove effective as a means of rapid transit in cities, that I believe this ia the last convention that will ever seriously consider horses for the opera tion of street railways. When the peo ple of a city clearly understand the great benefits of rapid transit by elec tricity or other improved motive power over horses, they will demand that their -city authorities grant such rights as will enable Btreet railway companies to operate by the most improved methods. Heretofore street railway securities have been looked upon with, favor by the financial world. However, since they have been operated by electricity, the financial men of the country are looking to its development and appli cation to street railways as an addition al reliable security for the investment of savings and trust funds. This should encourage street railway -companies to give their Various cities the most im proved and best possible' service. They will jiot only please their patrons, but the investment will prove very profit able. If street railway companies do this no better security can be offered for the savings of the widow and or phan than a good street railway bond In a thriving city. People have not yet begun to realize what an immensely important factor the increase of speed in city travel may become. It has been found that in creasing the speed of the cars a given percentage inevitably increases the pa tronage in nearly the same ratio, while the operating expenses are increased by a very small fraction of this percent age. An instance of this has occurred at Davenport, Ia., where it has been found, taking the record for one year, that the total expense of operating five horse cars was $10,840, while five' elec tric cars cost $11,270 to operate during the same time, or it cost to operate the same number of cars 3 1-2 per cent more by electricity than by horses. The gross earnings for the twelve months of the same equipments were, horses $15,897, electricity $23,670. It will thus be seen that although the operating expenses were increased 3 1-2 per cent where electricity was used, the earnings were increased very nearly 50 per cent, or in other words the substitution of electricity resulted in a net gain of more than 46 per cent, owing to tho increased patronage in duced - by tho improved service. Pittsburg Dispatch. THOUGHT HE'WAS CHLOROFORMED." What Came of tbe Uee of a Moth Pre ventive by a Waahlngton Woman. There is one lady in Washington who when she puts away her winter furs at the end of the season will probably not use moth balls to pro tect them. Tho pungent odor of this determent has a peculiar effect on some organisms, as she has learned by a most disagreeable experience during her Christmas shopping. The lady in question is the wife of a government official of high standing. Just before Christmas she took from a clothes press a fur trimmed cloak which had been laid away since last winter, and forgot to remove from its secret recesses the moth balls with which it was powerfully charged. At tired in the garment she entered a jeweler's establishment recently opened on Pennsylvania avenue and asked to be shown some diamond rings. The proprietor was alone in his store. As the lady leaned over the tray to ei ainiae the rings a whiff of the odor of moth balls struck him. With a hur ried motion lie thrust the tray of rings back in the case and rushed to the door, where he stood for some time in flating his lungs with the crisp, wintry air. Then, returning, 1 ran to his telephone. All this time the Lady cus tomer was standing in wide eyed won uennent As soon as an opportunity onerea sne as ted nun if he was sick, and he gasped out that he had been overcome by a sudden ense of suffoca tion, but was better now. The lady resumed her purchasing. and selected a costly ring with a re quest that it be sent to her husband's address. As she left the store she no- ucea mat some one was apparently iauowmg ner. in an hour's time she reached her residence, and was aston ished to find her husband closeted with a detective, who had informed him that it had been reported at police headquarters that a genteelly dressed diamond thief had, attempted to spray chloroform in the face of a jeweler, and when detected had given her address as his house. The detective had just completed a description of the lady and her address as furnished to the police when the lady herself entered and was at once greeted by the official as his wife. . The explanations that followed made the situation scarcely less embarrassing. The ring was returned to the jeweler with an admonition to be more careful kx future in noting the difference in dor between chloroform and moth balls. St Louis Eepublic. A Dof! Costly Buk.
