REFORMS IN TURKEY House Passes the Senate Resolutions By an Overwhelming Majority, WILL SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Hepburn of lowa Wanted to Tate Radical Action l’ropc«®«l to Give tlie Turkish Minister His Passports — Mr. Hitt Advised Agulnst Hasty Measures and the Proposition Was Defeated. Washington, Jan. 28.—Thb house yesterday, after an interesting fojr hour debate, adopted the resolution passed by the senate last week calling on the powers signatory to the trea y of.. Berlin to enforce the reforms u Turkey guaranteed to the Christ it u Armenians, and pledging the preside! t the support of congress in the nio-t Vigorous action he might take for the protection and security of American citizens in Turkey. The house committee had prepared some resolutions oa the same subject, but it was not deed - ed advisable after the senate resolutions reached the house to substitute them f|r those prepared by the committee. j | Mr. Quigg of New York, who h?d charge of the bill, made an able presell-' tation of the ease, but there was a dp-' position on the part of some of themeaibers to go further than the resolution did, and Mr. Hepburn of lowa propsld to give the Turkish minister his passport s and sever all diplomatic relations with Turkey. i i His remarks denouncing the Turkish outrages and charging that the poweis ' signatory to the treaty of Berlin wefe actuated from political and other cotsiderations in maintaining the “balance , of power” in eastern Europe were received with great enthusiasm, and at - one time it looked as if might i be carried to his way of thinking. But the counsel of Mr. Hitt not to take rash I action, in the course of which he pointed out the dire consequences that might! result from a severance of diplomatic' relations with a friendly power that had fulfilled her treaty obligations- to us, prevailed and the Hepburn proposition was defeated. Mr. BaileV opposed this resolution on the ground that it would be improper for us to “i’lsult” the parties to the treaty of Bei .ai by intimating that they ■ had not ears ied out their obligations. 1 Mr. Turner >f Georgia took a similar view, and Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio char- I acterized the resolutions as “incomplete,' inefficient and unworthy,” and requested the committee to withdraw them. I They were finally passed, however, by a vote of 143 to 26 after a motion of Mr. Bailey to send them to the committee had been defeated. Day In the Senate. In the lottery for terms yesterday between Senators Frank J. Cannon and Arthur Brown of the new state of Utah the former crew the one ending March 3, 1899, and the latter the one ending March 3, 1897. With the exception of the contested Delaware case, this estab-, fishes the political division of the upper branch of congress until March 4, 1897, ■ as follows: Republicans, 44; Democrats, I 39; Populists, 6. Total, 89. Necessary for majority, 45. Should Mr. Dupont be seated from Delaware the Republican vote will be increased to‘4s, but at the same time the number necessary for a majority would be increased to 46. Aside* from this event the session was given to further speeches on the silver , bond bill, two of the new members of ; the body, Mr. Nelson (Rep., Minn.) and ; Mr. Bacon (Bern., Ga,).makingspeeches, j the former talking against the freacoiq- | age of silver and Mr. Bacon urging the evils of a go|fl standard. Mr. Hansbrough (N. D.) severely criticised the secretary of agriculture for j the alleged failure to distribute seeds in accordance with the law. Mr. George j (Miss.) def ended Secretary Morton’s ac- i tion. Mr. Lodge offered an amendment to! the silver bond bill, providing for a bond i issue of §100,000,000, the proceeds to be , used for coast defenses. MOVEMENT OF THE FLEET. • Waships Montgomery and Rnlicgli Leave Hampton Hoads For a Cruise. Norfolk, Va. ,-Jan. 28.—The cruiser Montgomery of Admiral Bunce’s fleet, lying in Hampton Roads, passed out the capes late Sunday night. She "was followed in a few hours by the Raleigh. The destination of tho warships is unknown. A dispatch from Washington says: From the fact that some ofi the officers of the cruisers have not yet joined, thenships, it is evident that the outside cruise will not be of long duration, and therefore it is surmised that the propose of the navy department is to use the Moutgomei-y and the Raleigh to lie in waiting off the Virginia capes to pick up the Hawkins with the party of alleged filibusters under Garcia -aboard and place the ship under detention and the party tinder arrest for violation of the neutrality laws.

TH! OLD YORK OF TODAY. " ' PrM*nt Condition of tho Kngliah Nam** Mko of tho AmeriMß Metropolis. There cau be no donbt that one of the most interesting towns of England is the city of York. There will bo found distributed in a lavish manner whet all the wealth of America could not possibly purchase or create. Indeed the same may be said of every other country, for nowhere can we now reproduce the marvelous architecture or the stained glass of the twelfth and thirteenth furies, and no town is so rich in these unequaled works of the past as the town of York. That this is fully appreciated by Americans is best set forth by the foot that recently no less than 600 Americans visited York in one single day. York minster is the king of Engliehi, cathedrals. Apart, however, from the cathedral, York much greater number of churches as old and, in tlieirwuy, as remarkable as the cathedral. What, however, seems to me most exceptional is not these ancient monuments, but-, their surroundings. Throughout Eftrope, in London, Paris and elsewhere, mediaivul cathedrals, town halls and other buildings still subsist, but they are surrounded by a framework of modern houses and streets. At York, on the contrary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and a few other continental towns, the streets as well as the churches recall the middle ages. York is just the opposite to Hn 11. The latter town owes its very existence to its commercial capabilities, while York never was a commercial town. Hull is a town which has absolutely nothing to show, yet it has a population of more t,han 200,000 inhabitants, and many of its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull fought for the parliament against King Charles, and Hull was celebrated for its cruelty toward the Catholics. York,, on the contrary, fought for the king against the parliament, and, as Catholics were not so cruelly used in the York prisons, they were sent from York to Hull when it was thought desirable to treat them more harshly. Many very excellent families have selected to reside in York,'"but there are very few large fortunes. York is a town of poor gentlemen; Hull is a town of wealthy vulgarians. York has religiously sought to preserve what is of historical and artistic value; Hull has ruthlessly destroyed all that was of no immediate business use. These two towns, so close to each other, constitute excellent object lessons, illustrating the two great forces, the two great currents of opinion, whicb«for several centuries have struggled against each other.—* Philadelphia Telegraph. IS MORPHEUS BASHFUL? Then Here I* a Pnzey Cat Charm With Which to Woo Him. A discussion has recently been carried on Id The Vegetarian on the subject of the magnetic power of the cat. One gentleman writes: “Allow me, as one who often has sleepless nights and has tried everything you suggest, to mention a remedy which I have found above them all, and which you do not notice. It is simply to take a pet cat to sleep with one. Cats are the very best magnetizers and hypnotists, aud the safest. To obtain the remedy it will not do to take a cat into your bed and as soon as yqu have found relief neglect her. You must be kind to the cat before and after and make her your friend. She will give yon precious sleep, when all other remeidies fail, and better than all put together. The cat is the truest friend of man, were man intelligent enough to know it. The Egyptians knew what we seem not to know. Do not force your cat to li ( e this way ox that; let her take her own way. Do not even force her to come to you if shedoet not wish itfebut let her bo in the room, outside the bed. Sooner or later she will come in and nurse you as no other animal can. Even to look into the eyes or even the face of a cat will often produce a feeling of drowsiness, leading to sleep. Cultivate the friendship of pussy, and you will never regret it.’’ I As a pendant to the above, I may give the following incident which happened in niy own family, and which shows how powerfully magnetic is the cat’s i influence on its prey. One morning my daughter (then quite a child), on going into the garden early, was surprised at seeing the favorite cat crouching on the ground, perfectly motionless, with its eyes fixed on a rat which maintained the same position opposite to her. So entirely was the latter transfixed by the gaze of its enemy that it never moved ' when- the child went quie.tly. forward,' and gently taking up the rat by the neck carried it into the adjoining yard. It remained quiet in her hand, but on being placed on the ground, and a man stupidly taking hold of it by the tail, it immediately turned and bit him, being by that time aroused.from its stupor. That the ancient Egyptians held “the harmless, necessary cat,t” in great veneration may be known from the mummied remains of the animal preserved in the British museum and elsewhere. They were Oven in the habit of expressing their sorrow and respect by adopting outward signs of mourning when the family possessing a cat was deprived of it by death. —London Light.
