Chicago and Hammond WORK OF THE SOLONS Congress Has Done Some ImBusiness at the Session Now Ending. RAILWAY RATE BILL IS FIRST Two Pure Food Bills and a Meat InMeasure Will Pass. Record Session for Talk as Well as Business-Two Measures for the Benefit of Labor Pass and Two Fail. Washington, June 25.- Important measures extending federal regulation and control have been enacted at the first session of the Fifty-ninth connow rapidly drawing to a close. The railroad rate and the meat inbills will soon become laws, and before adjournment of congress both houses will have passed pure food bills, which, though dissimilar in terms, are both based on the same prinof federal control. It is the presintention to try and adjust these differences before adjournment. There has been no marked division on party lines in effcting the above results, the differences being only as to ways and means rather than as to policy. New Product Given a Market.

Not only on the floors of the two houses has the word record been heavy, but the publications resultfrom committee investigations of subjects are larger and more numerous than at any previous session. A large number of bills was introduced in the two houses. The calendar records that the number has reached nearly 20.500 more than were introduced during the three sessions of the last congress. It is interesting to note that with all the exertions of an appropriations committee in the house it has been impossible to hold the appropriations down to much less $900,000,000, al"economy" was the watchword from the start. Careful scrutiny has been given the demands of the different government departments, and legislation has been enacted to force a proper use of the moneys appropriated. First in this class is undoubtedly that requiring the heads of all executive departments to apportion the appropriations they reinto equal parts to avoid defiThis is to be done under penalty. A strict accounting is hereto be received from all United States court clerks. A revelation that one such clerk had received emoluments amounting to $336 in one day, brought about this provision. LAW FOR ORGANIZED LABOR Two Bills to Get Through-Eight Hours and Anti-Injunction Fail. Organized labor has succeeded in his requests of the present session of conto the extent of securing the enof what is known as the "employers' liability bill."

Hazing at the naval academy was given a further legislative rebuke by the passage of a bill giving the secretary of the navy discretion to dismiss or otherwise punish hazers at that in stitution. This legislation followed the report of a special investigating com mittee of the house which spent some time at the institution. The wearing of the insignia of the Grand Army of the Republic or other

soldier organizations by others than members of the sai dorganizations was made a misdemeanor with appropriate punishment. Hale, who in the absence of Allison, is acting as chairman of the senate committee on appropriations, expresses confidence in the final adjournment of congress before the close of the present week. The Maine senator is of the opinion that the work can all be conby Friday, but says that in no event will it go beyond Saturday.

the most fortunate thing that could happen for the country, because "a more unnecessary or more mischief-making law was never put on the statute book." WAVES THE MUDDY SKIRT Tillman Makes a Dramatic Effort to Beat Barnes. Washington, June 25.-Benjamin F. Barnes, assistant secretary to the presi dent, has been confirmed by the sen - te as postmaster at Washington. The

During his speech Tillman said that it was a peculiar coincidence that the only eye-witnesses who defended the White House incident were Elmer E.

ANTI-PASS AMENDMENT Text of the Prohibition as It Is Now in the Bill the railway rate bill is as follows: "On and after Jan. 1, 1907, common carriers subject to the provisions of this act shall not directly or indirectly issue any free ticket or pass for carriage to any officer or person in the service of the United States other than those in the service of the postoffice; to any officer or person in the service the person soliciting or using such pass. Foreign Bidders Needn't Apply. Washington, June 25.-The isthmian canal commission has awarded a conpany, of Baltimore, the lowest home bidder. The lowest bidder was William Simon, of Scotland, but the award to the Baltimore concern was made by reason of the recent act of congress that all purchases for the isthmian

Washington, June 25.-Although the department of justice has announced that it proposes to begin criminal proceedings against the officials of the Standard Oil the intimation is given

Indian that it is doubtful if indictments may be found against such men in the Standard Oil company, as John D. Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers and John D. Archbold. Murder Goes Right Along. St. Petersburg, June 25.-Two high police officials and a policeman were shot dead in the streets of Piotrkow, Russian Poland. A WOOD SAWING FLY. The Tool With Which It Makes a Cradle For Its Young. It is marvelous how many of the tiny creatures in the insect world conceal and preserve their eggs. Some will deposit them in extraordinary places; others will insert them in the skins of living animals; others, again, deposit their eggs where the young grub, after coming from the egg, finds food close at hand. Among these last mentioned are inwho bestow great labor in the cradle of their young. The place they select is a hard part of a leaf or the woody branch of a tree. In this they saw out a hole large enough to contain their eggs, whence their name, saw flies. For this purpose they are pro vided with an ovipositor of peculiar construction. It consists of two long pieces closing like a sheath over a third In the tenthredo this third piece contwo little saws, each of which has been compared to the tenon saw used by the cabinetmakers. The tenon saw is single, but that of the tenthredo is double, consisting of two distinct saws The insect in using them throws out one saw and while it is returning pushes out the other. This alternate motion is continued until the cut is made, when the two place. Not only is the edge of the saw notched into teeth, but on every tooth a number of smaller teeth appear. Tit For Tat He rejoiced in the not very humorfact, he never lost an opportunity of being funny. One day he met a friend whose name was Stone, and naturally a name like that was too good a chance to miss. "Good morning, Mr. Stone," he said gayly; "and how is Mrs. Stone and all the little pebbles?" "Oh, quite well, Mr. Wood," was the withering reply.
