tnry MOrton's Economical Ideas.
WASHINGTON, Dec. There bids fair to
be contest in this congress between Sec
retary of Agriculture Morton and the mem
bers who have agricultural constituencies over
the distribution of seeds. By virtue of an
opinion rendered last summer by Attorney
General Olney. the secretary has practically
done away with the tme-honored system Of
seed gratuities to the public He rejected
all bids made for furnishing seeds
to the public, and in October
last practically abolished the seed division Of
the department. Since his course was made
public members have been planning to take
action to compel the secretary to carry out
the law according to their Interpretation Of
it, which was made plain in the course of a
long debate on the question by the last
bouse,
In anticipation Of the congressional re-
quest for an explanation, which was initiated
by Mr.. Baker of New Hampshire, today the
secretary had printed a circular explaining his
course, which is being distributed to mem
bers The circular quotes the attorney gen.
erals opinion that the law contemplates the
use of seeds rare, and not common to this
country, and also the secretary's order clos
ing the seed division.
1t is not yet apparent what action, If any
will be taken by congress to have its inten-
tons in making the appropriation carried out
or whether any action is possible.
Mr.. Pickler of South Dakota Is one of the
members who thinks that the failure to dis
tribute seeds has injured his constituents.
Today Mr.. Pickler called on Secretary Nor
ton to discuss the matter, but did not receive
any assurances which gave him hope that
his quota of seeds would be forthcoming.
He speaks very strongly of the secretary's
course, saying that the intent of the law
was explicitly expressed in the debate which
preceded its passage, and that the failure of
the executive branch Of the government to
carry it out, is plainly Illegal. Mr.. Plckler
and the other members holding the same
views are somewhat at loss however, to
provide any method Of coercion by which
they can compel the department to furnish
seeds. They say that the next appropriation
bill will contain a seed clause so ironclad

sary millions in his pocket with which to
make cash payment. But in my Judgment
it would not be difficult matter to or
ganze a committee which could successfully
handle the matter of cash payment. The
committee buying a second mortgage from
the government could issue to each contrib
utor to its purchasing fund a certificate,
showing the amount of his holding In the
mortgage security, which could take the same
place in his safe or in the market
bond issued under a second mortgage OF the
same character. Capitalists who would con-
template ths purchase Of the government
claim and REQ: ganlzation of the Pacific
properties, either singly or as whole, could
among themselves. But so far as the gov
ernment is concerned, the sale must be an
absolute closing out of its claim for cash.
PREFERS ONE THROUGH LINE.
II would be willing to sell the government
claim against each road separately If con-
gress shall determine upon full consideration
that more money could be realizsd in that
way and that bidders can more certainly be
found who will give eat least the minimum
prics fixed by the act. l would greatly pre-
fer, however, to use the power the govern
ment now has to control the union and con-
solidation Of the lines of the original Union
Pacific and Central Pacific companies, so as
to provide one great through line from the
Missouri river to San Francisco. The Union
and Central Pacific companies havs not al
ways acted in harmony; either one is In
position to do the other great injustice to
divert the business Of communities and Of
the country from their natural and proper
channels, and to establish as against the
people of Cne section or the other unjust
tariffs and commercial barrcades. The
whole country from San Francisco through to
New York ought to have desp interest in
the union and consolidation Of the original
Pacific lines, whereby the business OF the
country could be permitted to follow the
natural and unimpeded highways, and
whereby also the power of compelling arbi-
trary and unjust rates would no longer re-
main with either line. For that purpose,
therefore, as well as to bring about speedy
settlement of the government claim, | ex-
pect to introduce in the senate early in the
session bill containing the provisions out

| WASHINGTON. Dec 7.-Speaker Reed did
not appsar at the capitol today, and it was
| stated that he had remained at his hotel to
deliberate upon the committee assignments of
| members. He Is maintaining unusual secrecy
in regard to the important chalrmanships, but
it is already taken for granted that MI.
Hit Of Illinois will be chairman of foreign
affairs; Mr.. Walker OF Massachusetts, OF
banking and currency; Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa,
interstate commerce; Mr.. Grout of Vermont.
District of Columbia; Mr.. Daniels Of New
York, elections; Mr.. Curtis Of New York,
military affairs; Mr.. Boutelle of Maine. Of
naval affairs, and Mr. Quigg OF New York,
postofices and post roads.
The main interest of course, centers in
the craftsmanship of the ways and means,
which carries with 1t the leadership Of the
majority on the floor. Fer several days the
impression has been growing that this dis
tircton would not go to Mr.. Payne of New
York, but tc Mr.. Dingley of Maine, who
would have been the ranking member had he
not voluntarily retired from the committee
to permit ex-speaker Crisp to appoint Mr..
Reed.
With regard to the craftsmanship of appro-
priations, the impression continues to prevail
that it will go to Mr. Henderson of Iowa, the
ranking memb2r. Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois, the
other aspirant for this important position
having lost his place by his defeat in the
Fifty-second congress. There is considerable
speculation on the democratic side as to
whether Speaker Reed will appoint Mr.. Crisp
on the ways and means and In that way
return the compliment accorded by Mr.. Crisp
when he was speaker to Mr.. Reed, after the
latters retirement from the chair When
Mr.. Reed was appointed, however, Mr.. Ding
ley, who was on the ways and means, ex-
pressed to Mr.. Crisp a desire to retire in
favor OF his colleague. similar complica-
ton arises in the case of Mr.. Crisp. Mr.
Turner. one Of Mr. Crisps colleagues from
Georgia. Is a member OF the committee, and
If Mr.. Crisp is appointed it will involve
Mr.. Turner's retirement.
The committees, II is believed, will be an
nounced at the end Of next week.

INDIAN TROUBLE IN ARIZONA.
War Department Notified of Three
Slight Dfsturbuuces

War Department Notified of Three
Slight Disturbances.
WASHINGTON, Dec 7-Three dispatch
relating to slight Indian troubles in Arizona
were received at the War department today.
The commanding officer at Fort Grant re-
ported that on the periodical roundup" at
the San Carlos reservation December s. it
was found that five Indian warriors belong
ing to Nozla's band Of Apaches were absent
Captain Bell was Immediately sent after
them to bring them in If possible The
commanding officer at Fort Apache tee-
graphed that "Od George" who camps on
Turkey creek, on the road to Sullivansville, Is
suspected OF killing Mr.. Merrill and his
daughter. A detachment of troops has been
sent to Georges camp, and the Indian police
have been started out to ascertain If any
strangers are on the reservation.
The same officer later telegraphed that an
Indian is reported to have been killed near
Cbuqu on December by party Of five
armed white men. They left a pack mule
in the hands Of the Indians. by which the
party may be identified. troop from the
Seventh cavalry has been sent to investi-
gate.
The War department officials do not believe
there is anything in these small events to
warrant apprehension OF any general Indian
outbreak in Arizona. The impression pre-
tiOn of the agitation In Arizona over these
happenings which are not unusual on the
approach of winter, is desire to have the
garrison at Fort Thomas restored.
A dispatch to the Indian bureau today an
nounces that the Apache Indians. whom
troops were detailed to bring back, have
been returned to the San Carlos reservation.
The dispatch is as follows: "The six Indians
from Nozys camp, rumored to have done the
killing, are now at the agency having been
brought in by Tuttle and the Indian police.
Their ponies were loaded down with nine
deer. VIII take description OF ponies and
arms for future reference, but am satisfied

that there VIII be no possible loopholes by

saw John Worland do it in New Haven
in 1884, and he told me the whole history
OF the act and of the many men who
have tried to do It. The first man to at
tempt to turn a tri' someraault was a
performer in Van n iburgh's circus, I'm
Mobile in 1912. He broke his neck. w. j.
Hobbies made the attempt in London in
1856 and was instantly killed. The next
one was John Amoor. He had been sue
cessfully turning a double, and was the
original in accomplishing it over four
horses He tried to do a triple at the Isle
Of Wight in 1859, turned twice, landed on
his forehead. and broke his neck. Sam
Reinhart, while travelling with Cooper &,
Bailey's circus, became dissatisfied with
the double somersault feat, and was anx-
ous to do a triple. He did it at Toledo
in 1870. making high leap, turned twice
and a half, alighted on the broad Of his
back. and was disabled for some time.
Billy Dutton accomplished the feat. at
Elkhorn in 1900 but ne never made an
other attempt. The only man. living or

times from a spring-board.. The first
time he attempted 1t was at St. Louis IN

trials. twice over FIVE horses, landing on
his back. At the third attempt he landed

been about on the cork legs and pair of
crutches.
One day last week he got a job from a
woman to whitewash her front fence. He
pulled off his coat and went to work with
a vim. Not long after his benefactor
came along on his way downtown. He
spoke to the boy kindly and passed on.
The cripple was on his cork legs painting
the top Of the fence when his benefactor
passed. Pretty soon the boy finished that
portion of the fence. and, not being able
to stoop over very well TO paint the lower
part of the fence with the whitewash fluid
