A student of Spanish annals has
added an interesting chapter to the
his oiy of prices by revealing from
the archives of the Escurinl what it
cost to discover the New World. 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.

of William the Conquero - sold
for $22.50. What is called "a most

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.

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.

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

gave notice of an amendment be will
offer to the bill providing for the direct
appropriation of money for the construction
of the canal and limiting the
cost to 311.),UU0,U00. '-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.

Fifth Day. Representative Hepburn,
of Iowa, introduced a b:ll
authorizing the Preaideut to acquire by
purchase from the States of Costa Rica

ot toe army. 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

The House also passed the Seuate bill

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

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

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).

FASHION'S FANCIES.

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.

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
