COM BINATiON WEAK
Newly Elected Members to the House Not
Disposed to Recognize Bargains.

Washington November e7-As the
members begin to arrive, the weakness
of the House combine for the Offices be-
comes more apparent This combine was
formed last spring, the plan being TO Sc
cure the plodge OF the different State dele
cations in behalf of Mcdowell ar clerk.
The essential feature of this combine was
that in each instance the member of dele
CATION who promised the support of his
State to the Eastern candidate for the
clerkship, Mr.. Mcdowell, was TO have
certain offices in the patronage under
the clerk, ergeant-at-arms, postmaster
or doorkeeper. The members who under
took to pledge the delegations from their
States to this combine movement were
in each instance, of course the.sitting
Nom bers.
This was notably true in Michigan and
Nebraska and Missouri, the Western
States from which the Eastern candidate
particularly looks for support, but it
happens, that in the delegations from
those States are many new members in
the House who were not party to this
pledge to a combine, and who also were
not a party to the promise of the COM
bine that they should quite natural that
upon arriving here and ascertaining how
matters are going, they should INQUIRE
where they are to receive their share of
the patronage. The answer to their in
quirics is that they have not been consid-
ersd, andsthat the, votes of the delegations
of their States are to be delivered BY the
older sitting members, who are to be
paid in offices. These new mem bers
very naturally are not pleased at the ex-
hibition of this boss rule, and do not rel
ish the idea that there is boss in their
delegation who has the authority to
contract for the delivery of their votes,
and their power to deliver them, and
it is owing to the doubt of the ability
of these several State bosses to deliver
the votes of the solid delegation that
the weakness of the combine has become
apparent.
The fact is, that in a number of Wes-
tern States the new melnbers absolutely
decline to recognize the bargain which
was made by the sitting members of their
delegations last spring, to deliver the
vote of the State to the candidate of the
combine. In some instances the new
members are in open revolt and declare
themselves outright for Henderson of I'LL
nois for clerk, This revolt is SO anticip-
pated that it is said that the sitting Re
publican members Of the Minnesota and
Nebraska delegations have discovered
that they not only cannot deliver the vote
of the solid delegations to Mcdowell, but
they find themselves the leaders of a
minority faction in their State

"In Ohio this year the leaders in the

against making the bond bill the chief

Views on the Subject-Saving Manure.
regard barn cellars as indispensable.
Under no circumstances would I think
of getting along without one With me
the first consideration is the making
and saving manure, and the value of the
liquid manure, especially since farmers
are generally buying SO much western
feed, is we'll known. 1t is true much of
this could be saved by liberal use of
absorbents. The farmers in the state of
Maine are few and far between who
Systematically use absorbents the year
round in quantity sufficient to save the
most of the liquid manure. Many intend
to do it Some do it when they get time.
IfsIwass called upon to state the greatest
loss the farmers of this state suffered
waste of liquid manure and the teaching
Of the manure heap, both of which would
be saved by the use of a barn cellar.
Sheds are often built over the manure
heap to prevent teaching. These are very
Objectionable.
AS the tie up is always supposed to be
built on the sunny side of the barn,
more and larger windows are being put
in to let in the sun, for the comfort and
health of the cattle. The windows of my
tie up are nearly continuous, and I find
have made a mistake in not making
them three lights high instead of two.
Now shed over the manure heap hides
the sun. Some of my neighbors, whose
tie ups are on the south side of their
barns, have manure sheds. While most
Of the time during the cold weather, in
the day time, my tie up is light and
warm from the great amount Of sun
shine, theirs are always dark and damp.
With me this is also an important con-
sideration.
Many Of the objections to barn cellars
arise from the fact that SO many such
cellars are faultily constructed. Sunlight
and ventilation are as essential to the
barn cellar as elsewhere. Large windows
and enough Of them should let in the
sunlight. Thorough drainage should
keep the cellar perfectly dry. And it is
AN easy matter to ventilate it if it is
properly constructed.

Dumas, Alexander, was born in Paris,
July 2S 1894 At the age of seventeen
he published volume of eight poems,
and then took to novels. These produc-
lions, however, did not show extraordi-
nary talent or originality, but the Dame
OF Camelias, which he produced in 1916,
showed him in a new aspect
This was the history, slightly en-
bellished of woman of the town, Marie
Duplessis, with whom he had been very
Intimate, and who shortly before died of
consumption. He then produced several
novels which attracted no particular at
tention, but his name sprung into promi-
hence when he dramatized the Dame of
Camalias. The drama drew crowded
houses night after night in every city in
which it was produced, and the author
suddenly found himself famous. The
play was set to the music in Traviata, by
Verdi, and was finally brought to
America. This play also took we'll in this
country and Dumas decided to transform
his other plays. Some of his pieces were
dire failures, but when LIE Demi Monde
was produced in 1855 the piece gave
evidence of acuteness of observation,
dramatic power and cutting wit He
continued to show great power of imagi-
nation in his works, and in 1868 pub
lished complete edition of his dramatic
works. In 1874, on January 30, he was

The Behring Sea DAMAGES.

Washington. November 27.-The CON
yention which British Ambassador Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Secretary Olney
had been preparing looking to settle.
ment of the claims for seizures in Behring
Sea, is nearly complete. 1t provides fo1
mixed commission to assess damages, the
commission to hold sessions at Victoria,
B. c., and provides for an umpire in the
event of failure on the part of the COM
missioners to agree. 1t is asserted by
those familiar with the questions OF
damages, that reference of claims to this
commission may cost the United States a
sum much larger than s435, 200, originally
agreed upon, as the payment in full
which was re. ected by the House last
