None have to be dipped for scab or

common sheep is from ST so to 81

OF wool. This cross on the native
sheep we can produce breed of
sheep healthier and better suited to
our climate soil and pasturage than
any of the improved breeds. Tho

profit unsurpassed in any State
All breeds can be raised in perfect

''There are other senators, members of

congress will be in session until late in
September, if indeed it does not run into
October, as did the Fifty-fI'st congress
The fact that the approaching summer
brings with it the campaigns for the con-
gressional election may hasten legislation
Speaker Crisp has been quoted as say
ing that he expected to see the Wilson
bill sent TO the Senate by Feb. l, and at
the latest, by the middle of that month.
If this is done, and the Senate committee
is expeditions in its work, the bill could
be laid before the Senate by March l, the
time when il was believed in the House,
when the bill was first under
consideration in committee, that
the law could be made to take
effect. That time has, however, been ex-
tended TO June and if all the calcula tions
of the leaders of the party in both houses
are not out of joint, the bill should be-
come law within one month before that
date is reached This would give the
Senate its six weeks in which to debate
the bill and allow two weeks for the CON
ferees to discuss the changes made in the
bill by the Senate, it being taken for
granted that changes would be made.

He is Under Sentence to Hang Next
Friday for Rape.

Beardstown, KY, Dec. 31.-Phil Evans,
the negro sentenced to hang next Friday
for rape, made an attempt to break Jail
last night, and had not the dis
covery been made to-day, he might
have made his escape tonight.
In some manner, a cold chisel had
been smuggled in to him, and with it
Evans had almost completely cut the
plate that held the lock on his cell. This
was discovered by Ja!ior Roby early this
morning. Evans was put in irons and
will be kept so until tomorrow night,
when the death watch will be placed over
him Evans has lost his game
spirit, and is now much downcast He
says, however, that he will die game, and
that he is innocent. Jailor Roby is over
whelmed with applications for tickets to
the hanging on Friday. There will be
little difficulty in seeing the execution,
for the scaffold in the jail yard can be
easily seen from the outside.

ST. Johns, N F., Dec. 31.-The Dutch
tank steamer La Flandre, Capt. Schmick,
seventeen days from Antwerp, for New
York, in ballast, arrived here this morn
ing. Her port bow was crushed in, and
all her compartments were flooded with
water. Yesterday morning she collided
with the British steamer Cyphrenes,
Capt. Kelley, from Savannah for Liver
pool, loaded with cotton. Both captains
decline to tell how the collision occurred.
The crews were also instructed to give
no particulars of the accident. The
Cyphrenes had her bows driven right into
the foremast, and the water rushed in at
terrible rate. The ship was so badly
damaged that she sank within three
hours after the collision. The captain and
crew of the Cyphrenes wereu brought to
this port on the La Flandre.

AN INSULT TO FRANCE.
sovEREIeN's HEADQUARTERS
Removal Certain on Account of the
New Legal Decision.

Des Moines. Ia, Dec. 31.-Grand Mas ter
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of
Labor, says that it is probable that the
headquarters of the order win be re-
moved from Philadelphia to Washington,
on account of the recent Ann Arbor de
cisi on in regard to the right of an organi-
zation to order men on a strike and max
ing it a crime to do. so. He says it is pro-
posed to place the central headquarters
in the District of Columbia, in order to
escape the state law in this matter The
general executive board is now wrestling
with the problem. 1t is about settled
that the headquarters will be moved
from Philadelphia, and Des Moines,
Omaha, Cleveland, Baltimore and Mag
ara Falls are candidates.
Mr.. Sovereign favors the west, except
for the reasons stated, that it would make
it dangerous for the board to order a
strike. He says he is opposed to strikes,
and does not have any in mind.
Mr.. Sovereign will keep his own head =
quarters here. He said the other day
that he thought it wise not to sell the
property of the order in Philadelphia, as
it was a good investment.
