Funder the auspices of tho city council of

party to press homo rule to tho front

A PECULIAR CASE.
(livi-H F|> II. r liiiKlmnil That Ho May Woil
tho Woman Ho Lore*.
San Francisco, March .7—Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins-Stetson has applied in Oak
land for a divorce from Charles Walter
Stetson, and it is said there is a romance
hack of it, a romance in which a woman
surrenders Jter husband in order that ho
may wed anothor. whom ho loves.
Mr. Stetson is an artist of Providence,
R. I. His wife is president of tlio Pa
cific Coast Women's Press association
and editor of their journal, The Impress.
The third character in tho romance is
said to be Grace Ellory Chauning, poet
and writer, the daughter of Dr. Chan-
ning, the scientist.
Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Stetson
resided at Pasad>na, California. Tho
Channings were their neighbors. Tho
two women became fast friends, and
thus Miss Chanuing often met Mr. Stet
son.
Mrs. Stetson, it is said, was first to
discover the regard her husband grow
to have for MDs Chanuing, but her love
for the man whose name she bore was
umliiniuished. She counselled with Miss
t in lining and with her husband, and
tiio result, it is said, was an agreement
that is now being carried out.
t 'pon his return to Providence, R. 1.,
Mr. Stetson applied for divource on tho
ground of desertion. Miss Chanuing
went to Europe and Mrs. Stetson re
moved to Oakland, vvhero she became
known through writing and public
speaking.
A year ago the Providence courts de
cided against Mr. St Don. for the reason
that there had been no estrangement.be
tween him and his wife.
.Mrs. Stetson is a grandniece of Henry
W ard Beecher.
THAVELEHS OF THE SKY.

I heard one Hminer a true story,
'Yhich wus narrated by a clergyman
to a group of young folks on a hotel
piazza. 1 shall not tell his name Ix*-

the historian.
Sewral years ago this gentleman
was living in the German capital with
his family. There were many new
sighbs and sounds to interest the
American family, but nothing more |

storks which settled on the adjacent
housetops and made a bird village of
the nestled chimney stacks.
The birds had such an air of pro- i

that that particular part of the city

these tourists, who returned to their
old quarters each season in human
fashion. This idea was not accepted
as fact, and there were many specu
lations as to some imssiblo means of
testing the theory. Not being up in
Mui stork language, no one could ask
questions and get answers, neither
could any mortal remember the fine
points of stork physiognomy from
year to year.
A plan was finally decided upon,
and one particularly aristocratic !
monarch-of-all-I survey looking bird
was enticed by a good dinner into the 1
garden. There was a silver ring j

Washington, March 7.—Some minor
routine business preceded the resnmp-
tion of debate on the pension appropria
tion bill in the house.
Quito a heated discussion was preclpi-
ted at the beginning of the session over
a resolution instructing the secretary of
the nnx*y to appoint a naval cadet from
the fifth South Carolina district. It
seemed that Strait, the representative
from that district, failed to appoint a
cadet and tho secretary of the navy ap
pointed one and charged to that district
a young man from Alabama.
It developed that in several other cases
the secretary of the navy had fille 1 the
vacancies from tho districts with resi
dents of other districts and there was a
manifest disposition on the part of the
members of tho house to resent what
they considered an infringement of their
rights. Tho speaker, however, rnlod the
discussion out of order and Mr. Hop
kins, of Illinois, demanded the regular
order. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, from
the committee on judiciary asked unani
mous consent for the consideration of a
resolution directing an investigation by
that committee of writs to tho injunction
issued by United States Judge Jenkins
on behalf of tlio Farmers’ Loan and
Trust company, against tho Northern
Pacific Railroad company. There were
no objection and tho resolution was
adopted.
Senator HiU'* ItcNulution.
Mr. Hill offered a resolution in the
the senate that
Whereas, the secretary of tlio treasury
has announced a deficit of sIK.uon.noo for
the current fiscal year, and whereas, tlio
Wilson bill proposes to discard Jlti,000,000
of revenue from the present taxes and
meet the dufineicncy by new internal and
direct taxes.
Be it Resolved, That the finance'com
mittee be instructed to frame an amend
ment to said hill omitting the internal and
direct taxes newly proposed, and instead
thereof make provision for a snllicient rev
enue hy taxing other foreign imports and
otherwise revising the tariff without cre
ating a deficiency.
He asked that it be laid on the table
for the present.
Mr. Harris moved a second mailing of
the seigniorage bill and said there was
no more earnest advocate of tho silvet
coinage than himself, bnt believing as
ho had that there was at least one ques
tion that should take precedence of its
consideration.
Without any breach of confidence he
was able to state the committee on
finance was on the very eve of reporting
the tariff bill. He, therefore, objected
to further proceedings of the seignorage
bill. Under that objection he claimed
the bill would go to tho calendar.
Discussion followed, under an arrango-
mont made during tho debate. Mr.
Stewart did not press his motion to take
up the Bland bill, but gave notice that
he would make a motion at some other
hour."
