IN the Senate, on the 26th, the House bill for tbe admission of Wyoming as a State was taken Wp aid Mr. Jonea (Ark.) addressed the Senate, (declared himself in favor of the adihission of Wyoming, but he was unwilling to st>e Wyom­ ing admitted in the -way now proposed. There no authority for holding a constitutional convention. Mr. Stewart Bpoke in favor of the bill and Mr, Reagan opposed it. At the close of Mr. Reagan's speech an understanding was reached that the vote on the bill and amendment would begin at 4 o'clock next day. After disposing of some routine busiuess the Senate went into executive session and soon thereafter adjourned. In the House Mr. Lodge, ot Massachusetts, began the debate upon the national-elections bill. He proceeded to sketch the plan of the bill in outline. No local ma­ chinery was disturlnd. he said ; ballots were to be cast aa at present, and no secret-ballot sys­ tem was to be interfered with where it now pre- •vailed. Everything that concerned the Govern­ ment should be open. The assurance of honest elections lay in making public every step and act toy which the representatives of the people were chosen to their high office. To secure publicity Tat every stage of the election, therefore, was the leading principle of the bill. Under its terms concealment- became impossible without a resort to violence, and violence itself was pub­ licity. Tbe debate was continued by Messrs. Hemphill of South Carolina and Rowell of Illinois. The latter was frequent­ ly interrupted by Southern members, •who questioned his statements rela­ tive to the alleged suppression of the negro •Ote in certain Southern States. Mr. Bingham, from the Poetoffice Committee, reported the Senate amendments to the postoffice appropria­ tion bill, and on his motion the House non-con­ curred in them. The consideration of the election bill was then resumed and Mr. Lehl- back, of New York (Republican), spoke against tbe bilL Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, spoke against tike bill and then the House adjourned.

Long lines of freight trains are standing motionless on the trscks, the passenger station at Randolph street being filled with empty and mot onlesB passenger cars. The employes of the road i<re on strike. It is a strike which differs from all previous strikes in many ways. It is not a strike resolved upon and ordered by any orgnnization, but it is the result ot spontaneous indi­ vidual feeling and action. Each and every striker has a direct personal inter­ est and feeling in the matter. Not one can be found, as in ordinary strikes, who expresses any hesitancy or dubiousness ns to the wisdom of the action taken. It is the personal dislike to a single official (Division Superintendent E. G. Russell), based, it is claimed, on amply sufficient grounds, a thorough dissatisfaction with his official conduct, and incidentally an equally strong respect and liking for two old and tried officers, whose resignations have been compelled, that has brought on this sudden and spontaneous actiog, which has assumed the proportions of a gigantic , tie-up. First the freight con­ ductors struck, next day the yard switch­ men followed suit, and the road is as completely tied up as though every rail­ road employe of the company had been suddenly whisked away to Siberia or the Congo Free State. THE strike of the through brakemen on the Monongahela division of the Pennsylvania Railroad has been Bettled at Pittsburg, the men accepting a slight advance. ' FOREIGN GOSSIP.

It was not much work to secure the twenty men, and needed very little more effort to nffcke up the remaining" $15,000, and now the work is begun aud tho building will be ready for occupancy by Sept. 1. The palace will be an imposing structure 260 feet in length, with an average width of lo0 feet, the main tower lifting itself proudly up­ ward over 200 feet. It will be huilt, as the cut indicates, with an architectural character of its own, and unlike the other palaces of the State-- of hay, wood or stubble--the whole structure will be veneered w ith coal, various unique de­ signs being woven into the buil.iing of iet from the output of the various mines about Ot- tuniwsL. A miniature coal mine is to be one of the fea­ tures of the palace, and the excavation is most 'admirably adapted to it. Into the mine a shaft will lead from the main tower, over 150 feet above. The tower at its base will be over 40 feet aouare, and will lie reached by means of two elevators in the semiciicular towers toward the front, or by a flight of stairs in either of the other semicircular towers on the rear corners. From this point the sight-seer will get into a car, just as in a regular mine, when he will be lowered through a dark shaft into the sunken park, where the mules, the miners with their lamps and picks, and the coal in large veins can be seen, a* if in the Foster or Phillips mines, twenty miles south of the city. The palace will be two stories in height, the first being about 25 feet to the ceiling, the other reaching to the top of the structure, varying from 50 to 100 feet. In the front, or Washington street tower, will- be the stage, 50x36 feet, and the main hall, with the balconies ascending direct from the stage, will give the building a seating capacity of from 3.000 to 5,000. On either side of the main room or nave of the building will be the spaces above and below for the exhibits of the nino surrounding counties-- namely: Monroe, Appanoose, Davis, Keokuk, Mahaska. Lucas, Van Buren, and Jefferson. These exhibits are intended to be industrial, for the greater part. The coal which will cover the building will be from these counties. The garden will be one jof the crowning fea­ tures of the palace. Like the mine, it will be below the level of the street, the sloping green from Main street and the depot sides being planted with flowers and plants spelling in Targe, bold, beautiful letters "Ottumwa Coal Palace." Fountains, delightful walks, rich tropical plants and trees will be utilized to add to its beauty. The palace at nignt from the exterior will present a most striking appearance. Powerful electric arc lights will flash out their brilliancy from each ot the towers, and each of the many windows will be provided with various colored electric lights. The work of driving the piling on which the structure will rest has been com­ menced. It will take 700 piles for the founda­ tion, 22 feet in length, and will require a force of twelve men over a fortnight to complete this part of tbe work. Various committees are basy at work in the contiguous counties ar­ ranging for their exhibits and are meeting with the greatest success. Each of these counties will hare a dqy jta own as a special feature. The various railiwScls running into the city will each have a day set apart for them, and tnen there will still be left fourteen days for special ati r.ictions. it is intended to have four of the It a'ling pulpit orators in the country preach on each of the four SabbathB during the month of festivities, and musical and literarv features will be numerous. The palace will be opened Sept. 16 and closed Oct. 11, and President Har­ rison will honor it with his presence some time during the session. Cregton's Blue Grass Palace. [Creston (la.) Cor.

"I think not," said the conductor, calmly, as he slowly punched the dis­ contented passenger's ticket; "I think not. The rood is just the same as it was when it was built. But," he added, with a far-away look in his eye, "the trains used to run faster."

The little game of "craps," that pet of the iSoiftliern darkv, is having a great run of popularity just now in the North. "I was traveling on a steam­ boat last week," said a New Yorker the other day, "and a jolly party ot fellows started the game iu the smoking-room after dinner. Soon three or four other games were started, and before long almost every man on board who,smoked was deep in the fascinating fluctuations of craps. Aftor an hour or so of up­ roarious fun most of the players dropped out and all the interest centered in one game, where the luck of a big old canal- boat owner had proved almost phe­ nomenal. When I noticed him he was already about $15 'ahead of the game,' but he was playing against three other fellows who were seemingly tireless and were determined to win back their losses before stopping. The winner yawned repeatedly and threw the dice with ex­ treme deliberation, every now and then suggesting that it was about time to go to bed. But his opponents insisted on continuing the game and winning back a portion at least of their losse*, and the crowd sided with them. All the time, however, the old fellow continued to win. * At about midnight somebody sug­ gested that something to eat would be agreeable. This was the winner's chance. 'If anybody brings food into this room,' he said solemnly, *1 shall play no longer. I'm not going to be hoodooed in that way. Even a biscuit brought into this saloon would change my luck entirely, and I maintain that under such circumstances I am not bound in honor to continue the game.' "His opponents were mighty hungry and so were the spectators, and most of the latter were sleepy, too. Some of them went off to bed, but others, prompted by curiosity to see how long the old man's run of luck would con­ tinue, determined to see it out. On went the play, the two luckless game­ sters losing more and more. They were hungry enough aDd awfully thirsty, but at every mention of a drink the old fellow would clamor against the 'hoodoo' of bringing any form of liquid or solid nourishment into the room, vowing that he would stop the game at once if such a thing were dene. Finally I went to bed, leaving the winner still winning and the losers still losing, and all nearly dropping off their chairs with hunger, sleepiness, and thirst. "Next day I inquired how the game had resulted and was told that at about 2. a. in. the old fellow had thundered out: 'If anybody here eveu look^ hungry I will play no longer. I am not going to have my luck hoodooed in that way.' Then he won a few more dollar and insisted that if any yawned he would styp the game. Every man gritted his teeth, suppressed his yawn and watched the winner rake in an­ other dollar. Then the old man yawned long and deep himself, apologized for so doing,saying that it was impossible to prevent it, but that his luck had been hoodooed by the misfortune, and uuder those circumstances no gentleman would insist on his playing longer. He then went to bed with all th« winnings an<' did not come out of his stateroom agar till the losers had gone ashore."--N. I. Sun. • » He Couldn't Cotton to the Lnnry of Moid* ern Improvements. ,.y "Beats ail about how times ha$ changed consarnin'taverns," said an old gentleman seated comfortably in the liyan n tunda, and beaming and blink­ ing in the light from hundreds of spark- liug points. "Everythln's ter ther queen's taste now'days, but sumhow I can't cotton ter ther luxury of modern improvements. I'm alters 'fraid of surr. break I'll make, I am.

They are at­ tached to a bed of fine glands undet the skin, and each of these long hairs is connected with the nerves of the lip. The slightest contact of these whiskers with any surrounding object is thus felt most distinctly by the animal, al­ though the hairs themselves are insen­ sible. They stand out on each side of the lion, as well as on the common cat. From point to point, they are equal to the width of the animal's body. If we imagine, therefore, a lion stealing through a covert of wood in an imper­ fect light we shall at once see the use of these long hairs. They indicate to him, through the nicest feeling, any obstacle which mav present itself to the passage of his body; they prevent the rustling of boughs and leaves, which would give warning to his prey if 'hewae to attempt to pass too close a bush; and thus, in conjunction with the soft cush­ ions of his feet and the fur upon which he treads--the claws never coming in contact with the ground--they enable him to move toward his victim with a stillness even greater than that of the snake, which creeps along the grass and is not perceived until it is coiled round its prey. Is this evolution or design ? POSSIBLY one whose purpose it is to humble himself might do worse than take up his abode in a cellar kitchen. It is sort of ft jMsement. CHICAGO BANK FAILURE THE NATIONAL S0L0NS. THE PARK NATIONAL. FORCEC TO CLOSE ITS DOORS. Th# Government Bank Examiner Take) POIMMIOH of Its Books and Annate-- Furnishing Fonda on ta Government Contract Given aa the Reason for th« Suspension. Chicago dispatch: The Park National bank, corner of Washington and Dear­ born streets, has closed its doors. When depositors appeared at the bank they found the following notice on the big front doors of the institution: "I have ta"'en possession of this bank by order of the treasury department at Washington. "J. S. STUKGESS, "Bank Examiner." Bank Examiner Sturgess took charge of the bank, and closed and locked the doors of the concern. Mr Sturgess and some of the bank officials were seen by your reporter, but they positively re­ fused to say anything about the bank's affairs. The cause of the failure is said to be the part the bank took !n furnishing funds for Williams & Co., to complete the Fort Sheridan contract. President Charles P. Packer arrived at the bank just in time to see the bank examiner shutting up the place. Mr. Packer repaired post-haste to the Com­ mercial National bank and had a talk with President «Henry Eames. Mr. Packer declared that the action of the bank examiner was a great surprise to him and that the bank was sound and that he was able to pay up in full. Mr. Packer laid the trouble at the feet of the men he had been litigating with him over the work at Fort Sh6ridan,Jin which the bank was heavi­ ly interested as a blR loser. These men, Mr. Packer declared, had been whis­ pering around and putting in a word here and there to injure the credit of the bank, and they had succeeded, for the bank examiner here was instructed by Comptroller Lacey at Washington to close the bank and look into its affairs. "There need be no particular uneasi­ ness felt abont this failure," said Cashier Meyer of the Commercial National, "but the trouble will be that the public will riot look upon it as a mere flurry aud not affecting business generally. I be­ lieve depositors will be paid in full." The bank was organized bv Charles P. Packer about three years ago. Pre­ vious to that time Mr. Packer had a bank on Twenty-second street, where he did a small banking business. Mr. Packer is a man whose wealth is estimated at from $75,000 to $100,000. He is the heaviest stockholder, and it is said, holds a majority of the stock. The bank examiner's report made May 1 last shows the capital stock to be $200,- 000, with a surplus of $21,000 and undi­ vided profits of $18,000, $11,000 of which was to come out of estimated expenses. The stockholders who were on the "In­ side" recently pulled out a^d sold theli stock at par. TAKE THEIR GUNS AWAY. Tho Only Way to Prevent an Indian Out­ break In Montana. Lame Deer Agency (Mont.) dispatch: --The threatened outbreak amons; the Cheyennes is for the present arrested. But should tho Cheyennes break their promises made 40 Colonel Curtis and Major Upshaw in open council last tight and be caught at their old tricks, all the troops In Fort Keough and Custer combined cannot prevent bloodshed. The stockmen are terribly in earnest and swear they will shoot every Indian who is detected killing range cattle on the reservation. That the settlers have had good cause to be frightened is undoubtedly , true, Res­ pite the talk of the soldiers to the con­ trary. Ever since Ferguson's body was found riddled with bullets a month ago thirty miles from the agency the feeling has been intense, and it needed but a single ill-advised word or action on the part of eitfter the cow­ boys or Indians to precipitate a campaign of blood. Major Carroll, who is still encamped a mile below here with three troops of calvary, says he has investigated the stories of outrages by Indians, and while he acknowledges the Cheyennes have killed many cattle, he believes the reports are greatly exaggerated. The Indians are well supplied with Springfield rifles, which thev are sup­ posed to use in the hunt, but, as a mat­ ter of fact, all tho game on the reserva­ tion would not furnish the tribe with meat enough for o ne day's rations. If the Indians are to be kept here and the property of the white settlars in­ spected and their lives secured, the government must give the Cheyennes enough to eat or th6y will go off their reservation and get fresh beef, and while doing this they aro sure to be de­ tected by the stockmen, who, in turn, will fire upon the Indians and a general fight will be the inevitable outcome. Fresh beef is the only game in this country for the Indians to kill, and sc long as they are permitted to retain their guns an outbreak may be expected at any moment. If the Indian Depart­ ment fails to take any notice of tht urgent appeals of Agent Upshaw It must be held responsible for the lives of all the whites who may die while defending their property.

Mr. Morrill'e amendment was adopted. Some formpl amend­ ments were made to tho bill and it was then passed. The conference report on the (lepend- eiit-pension bill was taken up and Mr. Berry made a speech against it. The practical effect, of it would be, he said, to put 90 per cent of the Union Boldiers on the pension roll. It was really a service-pension bill. Mr. Gorman op­ posed the conference report. Mr. chair­ man of the committee on pensions, replied co- the arguments of Mr. Berry and Mr. Gorman. Mr. Ingalld advocated the conference report. ThiB was an obligation just as sacred as that under which tho soldier was paid.

Brewer, Bjitterworth, and Payers as conferrees' on the fortification bill. The HOUBC then went into committee of the whole on District of Co­ lumbia business. The conferrees on the genern) pension appropriation bill failed to agree. The House insisted upon its disagreement to the» Senate amendments and then adjourned. IN the Senate on the '21th inst., the confer­ ence report on the appropriation bill iwas pre­ sented an<t agreed to.

The bill to carry into elfectlthe recommendations of the maritime conference to prevent collisions at sea was also passed, and the Senate at 5:45 adjourned. In the House, Mr. Conger, of Iowa, Chairman of the Coinage Committee, presented the report of that committee. It simply- recommended that the House non-concur in each and all of the Senate amendments to the silver bill and; request a conference on tho same. Mr.. Bland,, of Missouri, moved that the House concur in tho Senate amendments. With these motions- pending the debate began, Mr. Conger taking, the initiative. The speeches attracted very- little attention and at tiroes there were Bcarcely more than one-tenth of the members in their- seats and few of those present listened to the> remarks offered. The House adjourned at 5:5& o'clock. THE Senate spent the greater part oI the 25tlx inst. in the discussion of the House bill for the admission of Wyoming into the Union. Mr.. Vest opposed the bill on the ground that the population of the Territory was not sufficient to entitle it to Statehood. There were at the largest estimate onlv 90,000 people there, and they were scattered over an area of 98,0J0 square miles. Of the 18,000 voters, 0,000 were wouiea» and he was decidedly opposed to woman syf- J frage. Mr. Piatt replied in support of Hie bill, and without reaching a vote the Sen­ ate ai 5:40 adjourned.
