BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 21.-Dr. Her
bert n. Rowell, Berkeley's Health
Officer. is determined that the people
of the college town shall not suffer
from eating diseased meat and bacilli-
containing milk. Today he captured
another sick bovine, and he is now
carrying on an experiment with the
viscera to determine how near dead
the ANIMAL was while still being used as
a milch COW. When he has concluded
his experiments he will take his results
before the Town Board in the hope of
securing the passage of a town ordi-
nance making it misdemeanor, pun
ishable by heavy fine, to sell or offer
to sell diseased meat or milk.
The doctor declares that the prime
cause of the numerous cases of typhoid
fever which have been prevalent of
late has been unwholesome milk and
meat. Much of the milk has been di-
luted with impure water and the meat
has come from cattle afflicted with
tuberculosis.

what disappointed in the size of the
majority developed against them on
the vote on Nelson's motion, but they
say that the vote indicated no more
for the treaty than against il, as sew
eral Senators who oppose ratification
voted against postponement on the
theory that it could be defeated by a
direct vote at this time. Senator Sher-
man also rallied many of the friends
of the treaty who had heretofore ad-
vised postponement, including Sena-
tors Allison and Frye, both of whom
had given it as their opinion yesterday
that 1t would be wise to defer further
consideration until next session.
The greater part of the days ses-
sion was consumed by Senators Teller
and Daniel in opposition to a vote.
Speeches in favor of the treaty and
for vote at this time were made by
Senator'S Lodge, Frye and Lindsay.
The vote on the motion to postpone
was taken at 6 o'clock, and resulted
in the negative-20 to 80. After this
vote there was no quorum and the
time was spent in a vain effort to Sc
cure one.

RatifiC:4 cation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Sen
ate adjourned at S:35 o'clock tonight
after having spent almost eight hours
in continuous executive session on the
arbitration treaty. No result was -ac-
complished beyond voting down the
motion made yesterday by Senator
Nelson to postpone further cOnsidera-
ton of the treaty until March 9TH.
Senator Sherman made repeated eff
forts during the day to secure a vote
on ratification or to get the Senate to
fix the day and hour when it would
agree to vote upon the treaty. He was
defeated in both purposes, and when
the Senate at last adjourned because
of the absence of quorum, he did not
say whether he would make another
effort tomorrow or again this session
10 secure further consideration, but it
is generally supposed that he will re-
new the motion for an executive ses-
sion tomorrow.
The feeling through the Senate,
among the friends as we'll as the oppo-
nents of the treaty, is that any effort
to secure a vote will be futile The
