There is something startling in these
figures. They show the blighting in
fuence of democratic national legisla-
ton against the American sheep.
Every farmer in Wisconsin who grows
wool is hit hard by the British free
trade policy of the democratic party.
1t does not require statistics to make a
sheep grower of the country feel the
force of these statements. He has felt
it already in the shrinkage of his
pocketbook

WISHED TO GIVE THE GIRL
LESSON.
So the Old Gentleman Told Her Her
Acquaintance Was "Step Easy Pete"

She was by all odds the prettiest
girl On two o'clock train which drew
out from the Grand Central station
one day last week. That she was as
foolish as she was pretty was apparent
from the way in which she smiled at
anything in male attire which strolled
up the aisle She was a young girl,
too, probably not more than seventeen,
and evidently not in the habit of be-
ing away from home-at least, alone.
The seat beside her was unoccupied,
and when a tall. well dressed fellow
who looked like drummer, came into
the car he took one look at the girls

MIR. WILSON IN ENGLAND.

There is a cusSed tariff bill
IT'S known by Wilson's name,
And everything that John Bull wants
That bill enactS the same.
Now, Wilson he to England went
To talk about his bill;
The British Lion roared with joy
And cheered him with will.
t'What makes the Lion love Willy So"
The puzzled people cry.
HE knows who feeds him, don't you
know
Is the correct reply.

WIZ a Subsidized Voter Failed to

A good story is told on a prominent
gentleman by the Washington Demo-
Graf. who has on several occasions
been q candidate before the people
for Cflicia honors. The gentleman Is
a slnsrt politician and knows how to
secure votes, or at all events has been
successful at the polls. However, on
one occasion the prominent gentleman
admits to have met a smarter man.
The latter approached him on election
day with the statement that If he had
a pint of whisky he could vote man
for him. The candidate gave up
half dollar in compliance. Later in
the day, meeting the smart man again,
the candidate greeted him with:
"Well, I suppose you voted your

Won Hannekin Gives His Version OF
the Sinking Of the Kow Shing.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Times today pub
fishes dispatch from Shanghai. stating
that Colonel Won Hannekin, formerly aldo
de-camp 20 the viceroy, and who was among
those rescued from the British ssteamer
Kow Shing, has given his testimony be-
fore the commission appointed to inquire
into the facts relative TO the sinking of the
vessel
Colonel Won Hannelfin said that the
Naniwa ordered the Kow Shing TO come To
anchor, which order was obeyed. Then
the Japanese commander ordered the
transport to hoist her anchor, get under
way, and follow the Naniwa TO Japan.
As soon as the substance Of this order
became known to the Chinese troops on
the Kow Shing, they insisted that the
order be not obeyed, informing the officers
that they preferred death to being castinto
a japanese prison.

that il appears as il the town was
obliged TO be tho loser anyhow.
II will be remembered that last
Winter il was agreed that the sewer
now in course OF construction on Broad
street would empty into the river
through what has for years been
known as the continuation Of High
street. Hon. Jonathan Chace disputes
with the town the ownership of the
land covering this particular portion of
High street, and desires TO trade off
some other right of way for it,
The Council has worked so SLOW on
the case that Contractor Shaw viii now
have claim for damages caused by
unnecessary delay as he had TO quit
work until the Council has decided
decisiyely which outlet il wanted
built
II may do this today or il may not.
II all depends upon what mood the
members are In. Three weeks ago the
matter was referred to Town Solicitor
Bosworth with the understanding he
was TO report today.
1t would not be surprising If his re-
port was submitted in executive ses-
sion, as star chamber proceedings are
very popular with the Lincoln legis-

Captain Galesworthy, the master of the
Kow Shing, explained to the Japanese
commander that the Kow Shing was a
British vessel, and stated that she had left
port before hostilities between japan and
China had been commenced. He offered
to abandon the voyage and return to
China After a little time the Naniwa
displayed signals reading "Abandon the
ship"
To this Captain Galesworthy signallsd
In reply: impossible, the troops will not
permit me 10 leave"
Gave No Quarter.
When this signal was read, the Naniwa
withdrew for little farther distance
from the Kow Shing and discharged tor
pedo at the transport The torpedo struck
the hull Of the Kow Shing and exploded,
tearing q great rent In her bottom AS
the transport was sinking, the Naniwa
fired broadside into her. A half hour
afterward the Naniwa lowered an armed
boat, which cruised about the place where
the transport had gono down, firing upon
the men who were struggling In the
water
AS yet there has been no disorder In
Shanghai growing out Of the war, beyond
and Chinese rowdies The municipal
council has appointed a rendezvous for the
volunteers In the event of an emergency
arising that will require their services but
no anxiety is felt as to the safety of

cludes among Its members the leading Jap
aneso of Shanghai and vicinity, has Is
sued warning TO the japanese resi-
dents that they must behave them
selves and avoid any act that would tend
10 precipitate conflict with the Chinese.
They are particularly warned TO keep
away from the Chinese quarters of the
city after dusk, and to remain as far as
possible within the confines of their own
settlement.
Dispatches received at the foreign office
from Shanghai confirm The Times dis
patch as to the testimony given by Colonel
Won Hannekin. Tho official advices show
that some of the British officers of the
Kow Shing jumped overheard from the
vessel and were rescued by boats from the
Japanese warships.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Settlement Of the Tariff Question viii Be Soon
Followed by Adjournment

WAsHINGTON, Aug. o.-The house will
proceed this week, as IL did last, with fixed
program, simply awaiting the final report
on the tariff bill. All It's routine business
has been transacted, and 1t Is simply wait
ing.
Today is being devoted to the Settle
Williams contested election case from
North Carolina. II the conierrees on the
tariff reach an agreement this week, the
report will first DO considered in the SON
ate, and after being disposed of there, Will
come TO the house. 1t is not the intention
Of the house managers TO allow any pro-
tracted debate.
With the tariff disposed OF, the senate
could probably adjourn In threo or four
days time.
The last Of the general appropriation
bills has passed both houses, and a ma
jority Of them have been signed by the
president. Some of these bills are In con-
ference still, but II an agreement upon
them would br!cS an Adjournment it
would not long be delayed, as there are no
irreconcilable differences between the two
houses on appropriations. There is no
measure other than the tariff bill and the
appropriation bills which would be strong
enough 10 hold the senate together for
even IA day.
The probabilities for the week include q
report from the tariff conference commit
tee and subsequent debate, and also the
presentation Of the conference reports on
the sundry civil, river and harbor, Indian
Gnd general deficiency appropriation bills
and the consideration Of the calendar
when these more important matters do
not occupy a position TO receive attention
The immigration bill comes up today at 2
o'clock, and, In lieu of the tariff, may ex-
cite considerable debate.
