Why Punish the Navy? The introduction of a bill restoring the grade of lieutenant general iuvites again an inquiry into the discrimination which Congress seems so persistently to make against the navy. If a lieutenaut general, why not a vice admiral, and if, as reported, this great official honor is to be held open lor the officer most distinguished in land operation, why should an equal incentive not be giveu the sea officers entrusted j with the fortunes of the fleet ? < m i When One Fairds.

Few words have a more curious defi- J nition than ''bachelor." Originally it ' meant students who bad taken their d?grees Successful students were ( crowned with laurel leaves, the Lttin ; word for which is "baccalaureus. " s These students were not allowed to 1 marry, for fear the duties of husband ' and father should interfere with ibeir ' literary pursuits.

June An exciting discussion was precipitated in the Senate over a proposition to adjourn until Monday. At the conclusion of a speech by Turley, of Tennessee, a futile effort was made to agree upon a time to take atinal vote upon the annexation resolutions. The advocates of the resolutions voted down motions to go into executive session and to adjourn and flemanded the regular order. Tho opponeutsof au nexation were determined not to proreed with the debate, and for nearly an hour carried on filibustering tactics by entering motion after motion to adjourn, or go into executive session. .JrsE UTth. Consideration of the Hawaiin annexation was resumed. During a brief colloquy about the debt of Hawaii, Morgan, of Alabama, said thaft $4,0uu.0u0 more than coyered the debt and, in return for this sum tho United States would receivo unencumbered property to the value of $s.OOO,i)U<) or $<',000,000. Mr. Allison called up the conference report ou the Indian appropriation bill and asked that it be agreed to. The report was rejected, the special grounds of objection beiog that stated by Mt. Jones and one stated by Mr. Pettigrew, who insisted that the Senate conferees should insist upon the free homes provisiou. At 5:35 i). m.. on motion of Mr. Davis, the Senate went into executive session, and it 5:55 p. m., adjourned. Jink 28til - Almost the entire session sf tho Senate wus occupied by Catlrey, democrat, iu a continuation of Lis speech against the annexation of Hawaii.

The bill as passed arried about j?".*.??.000,000, the largest mm carried by any appropriation measlre sinco the civil war. After the pusage of the deficiency bill considcraion of the Hawaiian annexation resoluiou was resumed. Cutlery, Democrat, if Louisiana, concluded his speech in ipoosition to annexation. At 5:0."j p. n. the Senate went into executive ses ;ion and at ti o'clock adjourned. Ji'nb dOTix.? The .Senate cleared the egislative decks for flbat may be the inal action upon the Hawaiian anuexaiou resolutions.

June rn. ?The House went prouspty to the consideration of District of Jolumbia legislation, which occupied he greater portion of the afternoon, l'he message of the President, relative :o Naval Constructor Hobson, the Hndtou officers and crew at Cardenas, ajo] i'aptain Hodgeson,?of tho Hugh McL'ullocb, at Mauij'a, were read. At4:40 , vdrnT^Tn tho H?uso to-ilav, ilie conference report upon the bankruptcy bill was adopted by u vole of 134 to 4:!, aud the measure will go now to the President. Following the disposal of this bill the afternoon was givfcu to the consideration of matters reported from the committee on military iifiuirs. Several hills alt'eoting tho army were passed, notably being those providing' for the pay of volunteers from the date of enrollment for service and providing for increases in the ordnance, engineer ami quartermaster departments. i'ho permanent increase of the two former precipitated from a number of Democrats very vigorous protests.

The bill to add cheeso ami canned coin to the arm}' ration occasioned prolonged debate. Tho Senate bill providing for a Second Assistant Secretary of War was defeated by a vote of 50 to til'. The House adjourned at (> o'clock. july' 1st. Today's session of the House was of little legislative interest. A few private bills were passed and some o inference reports of minor i?. uortauce were adopted.

"i c m wondering in these days, when T'mle Sam is about sending troops from the Pacific coast to the Philippines, what the American boys will think ot t{ie climate over there. Willi the possible exception of some parts of interior India and Arabia, I doubt if iln-re is any hotter climate than that of Manila. The islands reach within lour degrees ol t lie equator, i ne tempera tu re is uot so very high, but the humidity is. The most extreme care must constantly he exercised to keep cue's physical condition properly toned all summer long. The hottest days in the year are in May and June. Fortunately a breeze usually springs up in the early evening, and that tempers the atmosphere so that one can get some sleep if he is properly fixed for it. when midnight comes.

Tc call the months of December. January and February there winter is a mockery. For seven months in the year, from April to October, no one but the poorest laborer goes out of doors, unless compelled to do so, between S in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. In Manila the whole population rises fit 1 and 5 a. tn. and gets the work of "the day out of the way before S o'clock. The houses are opened, servants clean ! up. merchants do their business and | jtho school children are busy with thei; >eoch< is.

It is a land of siestas. Every one who can sleeps there all day long, and slumber is there reduced to a science. Hammocks abound and couches of bamboo are in every home, hotel, club, and leafing place. The servants are trained to keep their masters and mistresses comfortable by bringing thrrn iced drinks or a tray of smoking iraurlal whenever they awaken after a nap. All buildings are erected with i the idea of keeping the heat out ai much as possible. Business is sus| pended all day long; even tiie men at ; the wharves quit work for six or sevc-n I hours when the sun is highest. - * ' - at ii~ "At Sltacown iUHUlui V..:nr.i u;>.

The merehants open their heavy store doors, and the streets suddenly start to life. The principal meal of the d iv is served at about ?! o'clock, and with the rich Spanish it is a ceremonious affair. Thereafter the whole population goes out for a walk. Evening callr are made upon friends and the plazas are at their gayest.

War Has Not Injured Business In the Atlantic and Gulf States. Industrially and commercitUy the 1 Southern section of the country is ex1 | tremely busy, says the Southern Progress for July. When war with Spain was first declared and it was known that the centre of operation wonld be in Cuban waters there was somo ner vuuauess ion u t Douiueru uubiucdd inou lest one of its effects should be a stagnation of trade. But this has passed off. Manufacturing establishments there, especially in iron and cottons, have an abundance of orders and are working overtime to good "advantage. There is also an active demand for coal. Money is being lreely circulated, with consequent benefit to both wholesale and retail stores. The presence of the United States troops, moreover, tends to create a large consumption of food supplies, some of which are secured from Southern merchants, besides theexpenditure of money in other I directions by thoso who aro waiting j orders to move to the front. Farmers j are also sharing in the general prosI perity of the South. The high prices of grain and provisions aro accomi panied by better values for other farm products. Fresh vegetables are worth considerably more money now than a year ago, and Southern farmers are ' a m Knninrv Rorl Kotf j iui tituniu iu iiu' ' uh uirviotuvu j crops recently, undertaking the cul! ture of each fruits and vegetables as were formerly supplied to our markets only frcm the more northern section of the country. The activity at the industrial centres also tends to increase the demand for farm products, so that one way and another there is immediate reason for congratulations to the busy South.

The i present Prime Minister. Sagasta. went to him in 1S<J8 an* offered him the j crown on the condition that he would sign a constitution and be a limited monarch. He was then but nineteen years of age. but he replied like a true Bourbon: "I will sign nothing. When I come to my throne I will rule my land as I and the ministers I choose see fit."
