The accompanying figure shows the
ground plan of one-story piggery 80

brood sows, unless one pen be used for
storing feed. The center alley should
be excavated about two feet deep below
the level Of the floors and cemented,
and should have a fall Of about six
inches toward the manure receptacle.
The wooden floor of the alley should
be made of inch matched material put
together in the form of bntten doors,
laid on light cross timbers also remov-
able, that the cement floor of the alley
may be cleansed from time to time and

A churn too small will waste enough

INCLINED TO PEACE.
RESULT OF THE LEADvILLE IN
CURRY.
Chairman Reuter- Thinks That Both sides
Are Less Bitter Than Before the 1nves-
tigation, and he Hopes for a Settlement.

Denver Feb S.-Chairman Reuter- OF
the committee appointed to Investigate
| the I.eadvillc strike, in an Interview
yesterday said:
",rhe citizens of all classes in Lead
| vile treated the committee with great
consideration, and their hospitality was
MS unbounded us their hearty support
of our course. Our meetings, as you
know, We're open and at every session
the room was crowded with citizens OF
the camp interested in the testimony
offered. AT no time were there any un-
seemly demonstrations, and no scenes.
Although the feeling between miners
and mine operators ran high at one
time in Leadville, no open demonstra-
tions occurred during our hearings.
Both sides We're given full opportunity
to express their minds fully and so far
as we were able to observe there were
no evidences of intimidation and fear
nor Indications of an effort to deceive
the committee on the main facts of the
dispute.
.'Of course it would not be proper for
me, at this time, to talk of the hearing
or of the probable findings in the case.
am inclined to believe. however, that
we shall be able to submit a unanimous
report. Much of the bitterness of feel
be allaying and there is an undoubted
sentiment gaining force and strength
toward more charitable and concilia-
tory aspect Both sides have had
enough of rumor, false report, jealousy
and chickering's. They had full op-
portunity to express their minds with
out interruption before the committee
and through the press to the public,
ana now they are ready and willing to
drop the past with it's dark pages and
look forward to a brighter day and an
amicable adjustment of their differ
enceS.
1.-The committee had its plan outlined
in advance in the form of n series of
questions. published at the opening of
the hearing. and our efforts were di-
rected exclusively to that ground and
on all occasions the committee sought
to suppress and allay bitter feelings
and personal attacks. 1t wound now
appear that the citizens of Colorado
want more to have peace than to con-
tinue the agitation for either personal
revenges or political glory.
'1rhere seemed to be a disposition on
all sides to be fair, and while at times
the attorneys in their zeal sought to
probe and wound in order to make a
point against witnesses for the Opposi-
ton, the investigation managed to end
without a single scene or an unseemly
attack
1The results of this inquiry, I cannot
help but believe. open the way to a
proper adjustment of the questions
raised prior to and during the strike.
Many business men. miners and Oper-
ators expressed themselves privately
to different members of the committee.
to the effect that the sittings had al
ready indicated sentiment more IA
vorable to good feeling. and a rapid
healing of the old sores. What the
committee may do I cannot say, but
aside from the report, the citizens of
Leadville have begun to get together
again and there are brighter days in
store for the mining camp"

Rich Gold FIeIl In AIaska

Washington, d. c., Feb. 6.-The sec
retary of the interior to-day sent to the
Senate a report by Prof. c. d. Wal
colt, director of the geological survey.
of an exploration of the Alaska gold
fields made last summer by party
sent out by the bureau. The expedition
traversed the valley of the Yukon from
the British boundary on the east to the
mouth of the river on the west, exam
lining all the known placer deposits
and tracing these deposits to the quartz
veins along the headwaters of the trib-
utarieS of the Yukon. Sufficient data"
Professor Walcott says. "were secured
to establish the presence of n gold belt
800 miles in length in Alaska, which
enters the territory near the mouth of
Forty Mile creek and extends west

FRENCH POPULATION:
Not increasing as Rapidly as That of
(sermluy

The National Alliance for the increase Of
population Of France, founded by DR.. Ber-
tllon. chief of the municipal statistic de-
partment of Paris, in view of the alarming
state census. is discussing curious pro-
posal from NJ. Meline, the French premier,
with the view of coercing parents to In
crease their families. The plan proposes
that government scholarships in schools, ly-
Gees and academies shall only be given In
the case of families Of not less than three
living children, and that all government
posts unless requiring special qualifications,
or favors. like tobacco licenses. concessions
In the colonies etc, shall be similarly given,
and that promotions and allowances be reg
ulated according to the number of children.
The proposal Is meeting with serious con-
sideration.
DR.. Bertillon, early during the present
month"; said that the result of the census 10
simply appalling and that unless miracu-
lous change for the better takes place.
France will soon disappear II great na-
tion. Germany, In 1Si1, 1t appears. had
about the same population France, but to.
day she Is credited with having 1900. 900
of inhabitants, more Than France Then.
again, during the last five years the popula-
tion of Germany has increased by 5000, 900.
while that of France, in the same period,
has only increased about 125.OOO. Finally
1t is shown that In 1873 the number Of
young men on the lists of military service
was about the same in Germany and France,
whereas to-day the number of German con-
scripts is 100000, while the French con-
scripts only number $4,000.

DATE OF THE INAUGURATION.
Eject of the Plan for = Change to April
3Oth.


Washington, d. c., Feb. 5.-A
change of date for the Inauguration of
the president from the 4th of March to
the Both of April. as has been several
times proposed, would accomplish four
things. 1t would insure better wealth
er, which is very important. 1t would
restore the Inauguration to the origin
al day intended. 1t would enable Con
gress to devote two additional months
to the business required of the short
session. 1t would enable Congress to
be in session while the president is in
augurated. AS it now stands, the law
requires Congress to assemble on the
first Monday in December of each year
The first session may be extended in
definitely. The second session must
terminate on the 4th of March follow
Ing, giving an average of three months
Tor business, which was formerly sui
fcient- But the requirements of the
appropriation bills have become so
great of late years that very little other
business Is ever transacted, and the
addition of two months would be a
great advantage.
While the term OF office prescribed by
the constitution both for the president
and members Of Congress can neither
be heightened nor curtailed, without a
constitutional amendment, the dates
for the meeting and the adjournment
OF Congress. and for the inaugural tion
OF the president may be fixed and
changed by law. A constitutional
amendment is not necessary.

SENATOR woLcorr IN PARIS.
His Mission Thus Far Has Not Been En-.
cOurARlnR.

cOurAging.
Paris, Feb. 4.-Senator E. O. Wolcott
OF Colorado, who Is now visiting Eu-
rope In the interest of bimetallism, had
an interview yesterday with Premier
Meline. The correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press learns on authority that
the interviews he has so far had have
been without the result hoped for by
the senator. The Interview with Pres
ident Faure on Sunday was short and
formal and afforded no encouragement
to look for a tangible result.
M. Loubet, president of the Senate,
in his interview with Senator Wolcott,
Is understood to have expressed him
self enthusiastically on the subject of
bimetalllsm, but, on the other hand.
Premier Meline was very guarded in
his expressions at his conference. He
is reported to have said that however
favorable France might be to the OBJ
tect sought, nothing could be done I'M
less the consent of England and Ger
many was previously obtained.
In official quarters little confidence Is
felt in the ultimate success of Senator
Wolcott. although he seems to be san
guine of England taking part in the bi-
metallic movement.

Makes Reply to President Jordan of Leland
Stanford University:
Boston, Mass, Feb. 5.-Evangelist
Dwight l.. Moody replied to Presidsn,
Jordan of Leland Stanford university
In his noon address yesterday. Nj.
Moody read from the reported utter
ances of President Jordan that "Whis-
ky, cocaine and alcohol bring tempo
rary insanity, and so does revival ot
religion, one of those religious revtvals
in which men lose all their reason and
self-control. This is simply form OF
drunkenness, no more worthy or re-
spect than the drunkenness which lies
in the CUTTERS" Commenting thereon,
he said:
II do not think that such talk is
worthy reply. The president of
Stanford university has set up man
of straw, and see no necessity for the
knocking of it down. II there Is n
spot on earth where revival is need
ed, 1t Is in California. / suppose Mr..
Jordan would say that Paul was be-
side himself, but the letters of Paul
are read long after the works of col
lege presidents are forgotten. II men
and women were losing their reason
and their self-control during the re-
vival season in the city Of Boston, l
rather guess the newspapers would
have made 1t known to the general
public long before this. l can criti-
else my work better than Mr.. Jordan
can; l know the faults and the short
comings better than he. But I repent
that do not think that any such state
ment as comes from the Pacific coast
IL 1t be correctly reported-is worthy
of serious comment"

Governments. Jurl.dlotion.

Carson, New, Feb. 4.-The State Su-
preme court has decided that the state
courts have no Jurisdiction over of
fenses committed on government prop
erty. A few weeks ago United States
District Attorney Jones assaulted the
editor of the Appeal while on the post
office steps. 1t was claimed that he
used brass knuckles, and he was in
dicted by the grand jury for assault to
do bodily harm. Jones contended that
the state authorities had no jurisdic-
tion over the alleged crime, as it had
been committed on property ceded to
the government by the state. The low
er court decided against him, but the
Supreme court holds that persons
charged with crime committed on gov
ernment property can be tried only by
the Federal court.
