The etipeuds of the discoverers, at all events, did not amount to much. The pay ct an able seaman was ouly, it \ eeems, ?2 a month, while a captain drew only ?ld a month. As for Christopher Columbus himself, bis e.iruiugs were at the rate of .?'120 per annum. Even m Spaiu salaries have risen since those days.

What is called "a most interesting relic" was put under the hammer at London. It was a man's garment made of blue silk and stained with .blood. To tbis gory raiment there was a document attached, duly certified, which declared that it was worn by Chailes I when cm the scaffold, and became the property of Dr. Juxon, who attended the king during his last moments.

One of the latest inventions is said to be a fog dispeller, an apparatus consisting of a horizontal outlookpipe, some eight feet in length and eight feet in diameter, iuto which enters a tube from below, connecting with a blower deep down in a steam p > ship's interior. This blower semis a powerful stream of air into the tube, the current of air, so to speak, boring a hole through the fog, ami inducing a cone oi' clear atmosphere with its apex at the month of the tube. J3v the uid of this apparatus a pilot who stands with his eye at the glass at the rear of the tube, can, it is claimed, pick up his buoys and look out for other vessels ahead. The iu^ ventor hopes eventually to make the ?fog-dispeller" effective at a range of a . thousand feet. Certainly any apparatos or agency capable of dissipating BaPsf fogs at sea or on land, whether the nS||| mists be physical, mental, or spiritual, .would be a boon to mankind. l ( HB?MHN^9H^Pma*on oft wo que^H jffSgBgM^er-.st and important^' whs began by the Seva/e. < K^B^ial expansion and the consttficWoi^if the Xicaraguan Canal occupied the attention of the body during the greater part of the afternoon. As soon as the routine morning business had been disposed of, Mr. Vest, Democrat, of Missouri, called up his resolution, declaring it to be unconstitutional for this government to acquire foreign territory, except for coaling statioi s or some like purpose, unless its iutentiou was to confer statehood upon the territory and citizenship upon its inhabitants. Mr. Piatt, Republican, of Connecticut, in expressing the hope that) I Mr. Vest would uot ask for immediate j ! action upon his resolution, said he de- 1 | sired to oiier Borne remarks upon it, i j but was not prepared to do so. . lie | did not, he said acquiesce in the law as stated by the Missouri Senator. He believed that the power to acquire territory w<\s inherent in the nation and was not subject to limitation. Mr. Morgan opened the debate on the canal bill with a three hour appeal for action at this session. The whole country, he said, would be disappointed if Congress did not act. He was willing to take any measure which would result in the building of the canal. A question was raised as to the language of tho bill guaranteeing the neutrality of the canal in case the United States were at war with a country. Mr. Morgan said that the language of tho bill specifically expected such a case. Mr. Hoar aiio-iTHsteJ that thft rlansA relat ing to the neutrality of the canal | should be amended eo as to read: "Except as to nations at war with the United States." Mr. Morgan said he would accept the amendment. No Senator should vote against the bill on this account During the day Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Hale, of Maine, presented resolutions of citizens of their States remonstrating against the extension of American sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and against the acquisition of foreign territory without the consent of tho people of such territory. The resolutions were referred to tho committee on foreign relations. Mr. l'ettigrew introduced a bill authorizing A. A. Bartlett to raise the battleship Maine and transport it to the United States. The Senate, at 5:10 p. in., adjourned. Sixth Day.?The session of the Sonate was largely consumed in discussion of tho Nicaragua Canal bill. Mr. Turpie made the principal speech in opposition to the bill, attacking it on the ground that it is in the interest of the Maritime Comrany. He moved a postponement of the matter until after tne ? v >r J.f..

'-the amendment provides for the construction of the canal by the Maritime Canal Company and gives the government a lien upon the property to bo foreclosed upon circumstances fully enumerated. Mr. Rawlings also gave notice of an amendment to the Nicaragua bill, providing that the act should not go into effect until the United States should secure by treaty the right to fortify and garrison the canal, to send armed vessels and munitions of war through it in time of war and to close it against any other nation with whom the United States may be at wife Previous to the proceedings upon the caual bill, Mr. Morrill made an address in support of the bill author izing the purchase of a site for a Supreme Court building, and this and several other bills were passed. Among them was one for the relief of homestead settlers in Florida, who were driveu from their homes by the storm of 189(5. The bill reviving the grade of lieutenant general was reaehek on the calender, but was passed over at the request of Mr. Cockrell. The Senato at.') o'clock went into executive session and at 5:15 adjourned. Seventh Day. The Nicaragua Canal bill held its place as the principal subject before thy henate, the pending question being on Mr. Turpie's motion to postpone until January iO. Speeches were made by Messrs. Harris, Money, Stewart and Morgan. Mr. Harris spoke upon the general features of the bill. Mr. Bacon gave notice of an amendment to the bill providing that work should not bo bogun on the caual under the bill uutil the government of Nicaragua should consent to a modification of the treaty granting title to the United States in in perpe nitv tn the canal richt of wav. and also eliminating articles 51! and 54 oi the concession ':om that document. Mr. Stewart advocated the bill as a most important step in the progress ot the commerce of the world, and urged the Senators to accopt it as it stands. The bill regarding the registry of foreign built vessels wrecked on American coasts, was also discussed, but was not disposed of. During the early part of the session, Mr. Vest called attention to private pension bills and entered a protest against their passage without due consideration, as he said the Senate was falling into the babit of doing. The Senate adjourned at 5:25 p. in. Eighth Day.?The urgent deficiency appropriation bill, making provision for the army and navy for the next six months, displaced the Nicaragua Canal bill in the Senate. The deficiency bill was rassed after a spirited discussion, turning principally on the point ol Keeping the volunteer soldiers iu service. At the instance of Mr. Harris, the Souate adopted a resolution calling upon the President for information as to tho status of the report cf the Nicaragua commission. The Senate then went into executive scssion^oud at 5:03 adjourned until Monday. HOUSE. Fifth Day. Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, introduced a b:ll authorizing the Preaideut to acquire by purchase from the States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua full ownership, jurisdiction and sovereignty of such land as may be desirable and necessary to construct such a canal.

It was Irawu after consultation with many army officers and is supposed to represent ttio ideas of the younger element of the army, it makes some very radical changes in the stall and has some novel features. Sixth 1)av. The House passed the District of Columbia appropriation bill without a single amendment. The bill carries cG,T7U,!)"i0, which is $170,GOO less than was carried by the last bill and <?2,871,85 7 loss than the estimates. The House also passed the Seuate bill to amend the laws relating to seamen. All the amendments were rejected. On motion of Mr. Hay (Dem. Ya ) a resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of War for information as to what towns in Puerto Hico, Cuba and the Philippines are required to be garrisoned, how many troops will be necessary for that purpose and how many soldiers will be needed for the United State?, proper. The Houso adjourned at 2.40 p. m. Seventh Day. The House for the secord time during this Congress refused to consider the Lodge immigration bill. An interesting but brief debateon the rules was precipitated'.during the session by Mr. Grow, of Pennsylrania, during wbich Mr. DeArniond made a speech on the decadence of the privilege oi debate in me nouse. ne was exceedingly ironical id his reference to the decadence of the old-time privilege of full debate. rl he pension appropriation bill was reported to the House. The Senate bill tt regulate the sitting of United Static Courts within the district of South O.roUua was passed. The House adjounred at 2:03. Eighth .Day. The House s|yy>assed all previous records in the tgtneditioa with which it passed the pension appropriation bill. The bill, in days gone by, has been one of tho most fruitful themes for partisan debate, but although carrying $4,000,000 more than the act for the current year, it was passed in 20 minutes without a word of criticism. Tho bill carries $143,203,800. The House then entered upon consideration of the bill to incorporate tho International American Sank. This project was recommended by the Pan-Americau Congress in 1881).

The House adjourned at 4 o'clock. FASHION'S FANCIES. f Ut'ilSclU Li v? 11150 ai c ugiu^ uov.u just as a momentary fancy upon velvet toques. From Vienna, whence, by the bye, some admirable European fashions emanate, comes a gown of crepe de chine of a vivid green, with lace trimmings: the bodice, cream leather, embroidered in white and gold, and opens over cream chifTon; the basque is slashed to the belt and a cerise velvet collar gives jnst a touch of color. The fichu of silk muslin, fastened with pale blue muslin and pink roses, is figuring now at many dinner tables, as well as at country garden parties, and this mode will be emphasized later 011 by headgear that resembles the Charlotte Corday cap, closely allied to the turban toques, that have suited so many pretty people this year. Embroideries will be introduced on the fronts of gowns in endless variety. The narrow fronts over which the troc.3 ae>oms tn oneri assert themselves in many new styles, but now the embroideries are flitting to the side panels. which are to divide the front from the sides. This style will be repeated on the bodice either for reverj or for braces. However inconvenient, we must accept the inevitable. The gowns of the immediate future for day wear will fasten, many of them, at the back. Son:-* of the princess gowns owe most of their charms to this arrangement, but demand a beautiful figure, ar.d the shirts with broad lace insertion, set horizontally for the collars and cuffs and perpendicularly down the front, would lcve half their charm if they were united any other v.ey. Many of the most lovely lace fans have gauze let In ar.d are tenderly painted, while the chicken-skin fans, with tortoise-shell mounts, form the background for the most beautiful paintings. Others, again, such as black silk with ivory mounts, are not only painted, but inlaid with goid. and some of the gauze fans have quaint floral patterns in spangles. Ostrich feather fans have not gone out. but they are for the moment subsidiary to the painted onets. A PLEASANT PASTIME. A pleasant pastime is makingchaius of straws aud disks or squares of paper. These may be bought ic colors, but may also be prepared at home. Soak the straws well, and then cut them in half-inch lengths. The disks and squares may be cut from auy strong colored paper. The thread should be tied to the eye of the needle, and the child taught to thread alternately straw and disk or iqnare. i 9 N I 1 ^ '^PEAK^I; vr e w the He Ha* Ilich OpinnH^PIHKonltors Would be Advisable to Pay the < Insurgent Troop* Tlielr Hack Pay. Manila. Philippine Islands (By Cable). ' Bear Admiral Dewey, questioned byanowspaper correspondent regarding the possi- ' bility of international complications, re pnea: "Prior to the arrival of the monitors I 1 felt uneasy. I5ut now I am ready to hold J this position against the whole earth." , He, however, absolutely declined to dis- | cuss the political situation in the Philippine Islands, on the ground that his sphere < was purely naval. The Admiral seldom joes ashore, and in- I fisted that his interviewer was in a better < position to acquire information than himself. He then proceeded to cross-exam- ' iue the correspondent about everything ashore. He was glad to learn that the insurgents were releasing the sick Spanish soldiers they held prisoners, notwithstanding Aguinafdo's grandiloquent refusal to do so. This proves thut the insurgents are very conciliator?, in spite of their defiant talk. Admiral Dewey always believed that the insurgents were friendly, especially since the warships of our fleet have visited the <iifr?vonf rinrts r>f these islands and since some of our officers have ruade tours inland, carefully investigating popular sentiment and judiciously preaching tlio gospel of peaceful settlement everywhere with highly satisfactory results. A few influential Filipinos, in the ambibious attempt of self-advancement, are clamoring for independence, though unable to resize its true meaning. They are utterly ignorant ;f the difference between tho name and the reality. According to recant information received here, the Filipino insurgents are endeavoring to maintain a brave show for the purnose of securing the best terms possible from the Americaus. It is the opinion of ^>ur Admiral that it would be advisable for the United States to pav the insurgent troops Ibeir arrears of wages. The whole amount wmuld only be a comparatively trifling sum, ar.d the payment of the troops would have a valuable effect, aud may save i incalculable trouble. Finally, Admiral Dewey was strongly convinied that the Filipino insurgents desert* acknowledgment. He is a believer in the jJtactic&bility of liberal measures in tU.
