PREPARE foR COOPERATION.
Large Tract of Land Secured for Great
Experiment.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 24.-Options have
been obtained on 1000 acres of land in
Crawford county. where It is proposed
TO locate a colony organized on the CO.
operative plan. Among the leaders OF
the movement are Chairman John
Breidenthal of the Populist state COM
mittee; Congressman Elect Edward X.
Ridgely, fusionist, Chris ID. Hoffman OF
Enterprise, and ex-State Treasurer w.
W. Biddle, all well-known citizens.
Mr.. Breidenthal explained the scheme
10 a reporter. The main idea Is In car

1T is believed" said Mr.. Breidenthal.
that a plan of organization embracing
both production and distribution, where
labor is given employment It the usual
wages, and capital is similarly en-
ployed, the profits being shared be-
tween both. and where labor Is given

earnings in small monthly payments

from debt or other incumbrance, 1t be-

company will own the land and conduct
all industries and business of the COM

mately consist of members of the com

OPINION OF SENATORS.
Expect Little Business at the Short Session
of Congress.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Members of
the senate are coming to Washington
each day, and from interviews with
each of the arrivals, 1t Is apparent that
the senators expect little save routine
legislation including the passage OF the
annual appropriation bills at the short
session of congress. Senators Cockrell
of Missouri and Hawley of Connecti-
cutt both gave expression to this opin-
ion Monday and both likewise agreed
in the opinion that nothing need be ex-
pected at the coming session in the way
Of helping along an international bi-
metallic conference. Senator Hawley
did not believe the Dingley bill would
be enacted into law, adding:
"The Dlngley bill is confessedly a
mere makeshift, with all the defects In
| cident TO horizontal increase or de-
crease of duties. If it should be passed
as it is, IL seems to me, IT would be the
duty of the president TO assemble con-
gress as soon as possible after the 4th
| of March for diligent consideration
and revision of the whole tariff in a
conslderate and conservative spirit to
| the end that a bill might be passed
| that would stand the test Of years, sub
| ject, Of course, to an occasional correc-
| ton, where new inventions and changes
| in trade may demand it, 1t Is TO be re-
| memered also that the Dingley bill eX-
pires by it's own limitation in August,
| 1898, and il is impossible to cvade the
question, therefore the more speedily
| action Is taken the better"

DEER CAPTURED ALIVE.
Remarkable Feat Performed by n Michi-
gan Man While Hunting.

Remus, Mich, Nov. 23.-Harry Mid
dlehouse of Grand Rapids is probably
the only man in Michigan who ever
caught a deer in his arms and capt
ured it alive. A few days ago young
Middlehouse, who was visiting his
cousin here caught glimpse of ESQ
pound buck that had been a captive
when a fawn, but which broke away
four years ago and has been wild ever
since. Middlehouse hid himself behind
a log while a companion drove the deer
toward him. The buck came to the
edge of the log and stopped. Middle
house did not have the heart to shoot
II and sprang for the buck, clasping his
arms around it's neck. Then ensued
battle royal. Middlehouse managed to
throw the buck but 1t speedily rose to
It's feet. Farwell, his companion was
too far away to be OF assistance. Each
time Middlehouse managed to throw
the buck il managed TO get a prod at
him with his horns, which, fortunately,
had been recently shed. BY the time
Farwell reached the scene Middlehouse
was almost worn oy., his clothing was
mostly gone and he had two big Jumps
on his side, raised by the bucks feet.
with Farwelps help Middlehouse final
ly got a halter around the bucks neck
and tied IL to a tree. After the two
young men had rested they bound the
bucks feet together and carted him
| back to his old home. 1t was boxed for
shipment, after another desperate
struggle in which nearly the whole VII
lage took part and sent to Grand Rap
| ids. where 1t will find a permanent
| home in the city park.

VIII Brook No Interference with Her Pos

Boston, Nov. 2i.-"Spain would fight
any nation that would interfere with
her possessions in the Philippine islands
or in Cuba. 1t makes no difference
what nation 1t might be-" said Senor
Manuel Barcia y Cruz, Spanish consul
70 Boston, in an interview. True, we
have comparatively few soldiers, be-
cause the most of our troops are now
engaged in subduing Cuba. But II
would be a naval war, and would be
fought upon the high seas. 1t must not
be thought because our navy has not
shut the filibusterers off from Cuba we
have no naval power. The filibusterers
quickly run into the three-mile limit In
American waters and take refuge, ana
then the biggest warships can do MOTH
