EARNEST WORK BEGINS
SeRatn Expects to Dispose of I'm.
psrtant Matters This Week.
Committee Vacancies Will
Probably Be Filled.
Committee WIN Report Tarifi Arbitration
TO 6s Voted On.

washington, May 3.-The senate re-
sumed business i'm earnest today, and
the week bids fair to be one of important
results. According to agreement vote
VIII be taken on the arbitration treaty
On wednesday. II Is also quite probab BILE
that the committee vacancies will be
niled. and that the tariff bill will be re-
ported to the senate. For the rest, Sena-
tor Morgan probably will call up his
Cuban resolution, the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill may be passed, and SEN
ator Hoar has given notice that he will
move TO have the committee on rules dis
charged from the further consideration
OF his amendments to the rules for the
limitation of debate.
There Is great uncertainty as to the
rate OF the treaty, and II now looks as IL
the margin would not exceed two or
three votes. whatever the result may be.
There are a few unascertained votes
which will decide the result. A can
vass made shows 40 votes certain for the
treatyand 25 certain against IL. Twenty
nine votes in opposition are sufficient to
defeat II. but the opposition do not know
just where there four votes can be found
There will be considerable sparring over
the treaty before the vote Is taken, but
no prolonged debate is expected.
The consideration Of the sundry civil
appropriation bill has been postponed
until Senator Allison, who has charge
Of Il In the senate. can be present.
III Senator Hoar fulfills his promise to
bring up the question Of the amendment
of the rules. his motion will be stubbornly
resisted by the Democrats. Those OF
them who favor the changes proposed
VIII net assent to them on the eve Of the
tariff fight. The new senator from Ken
lucky, Hon. W. ]. Deboe, takes his seat
today.
The house program contemplates ad-
tournments for three days from Mon
day and Wednesday. Should the con-
ference report on the Indian appropria-
tfon bill reach the house 1t will be cleared.
A suggestion to take action on the bank
ruptcy bill passed by the senate Is being
thought over and may reach some def
mite shape before the close Of the week

THE INDIA RUBBER PLANT.
How 1t May BE Got Into Condition After
the Leaves Have Fallen.


the Leaves Have Fallen.
+. N Gerard of Elizabeth in expert
mentng with india rubber plants has dis
covered method of livoning up bare and
unlovely specimens and causing them to
produce new branches, which he says is
one of the simplest of horticultural opera
tions. Unless an india rubber plant is
bare in places single stemmed specimen,
up to five or six feet, usually gives the
most satisfactory results. To produce
branches in larger specimens 1t is usually
recommended to pinch out the leading
shoot. This will cause branching, but the
new growths are not apt to break-that is,
shoot out-where they are desired, and the
loss of the leader spoils the appearance Of
the plant. The better way is TO score the
main axis where new growths are wanted.
BY making an incision across the stem
with q thick bladed knife through the bark
and slightly into the hard wood flow of
sap will ensue, a callous spot will soon
form, and from the edge of this bud will
usually be found in few weeks.
This is simply an example of the we'll
known fact that buds may be formed from
any part of plant body, especially on the
stems and roots Of hard wood plants. They
are more apt to occur near callosities, the
result of injuries, or near the axis of q
leaf, where food Is naturally most abun-
dant. 1t will usually be most satisfactory
to score the india rubber plant above a
leaf scar, and large proportion of the cuts
will prove effective. The new buds progress
most rapidly on the part Of the stem best
, lighted, and the growths are made as rap
idly under ordinary house culture as in q
greenhouse.
When 1t Is desired to shorten n rubber
plant, that portion of the stem where the
roots are desired must be wrapped about
with spagnum. BY keeping the spagnum
moist, roots are soon emitted, and the mp
per shoot OF the plant may be taken off
and planted. Rubber plants arc also prop
agated in the greenhouse by using single
leaves with a portion Of the stem, plung-
ing them in sand and keeping at high
temperature. A score kept dry will In
sure bud, but II wrapped in moist
medium will produce roots. An easy way
to shorten rubber plants In summer Is to
bank the earth up the stems and use the
new roots formed instead Of the old ones

OUR SUPERIOR RAILWAYS.
German Commissioners Compare, to the
Favor of America.

German Commissioners Compare, to the
Favor Of America.
Americans are proud of the convenience,
speed and cheap rates of their railroads,
and they have reason to be. This is ad-
mitted in the report on our system of
travelling made by the German imperial
commissioners, who have looked over
our railroads. Insular and continental
Europe alike use the compartment cars,
and to this stagecoach system is due
large part of the inconvenience and even
danger of European travel.
II the European trains made American
time, the carriages would rock and roll
like a ship in heavy sea. AS 1t is, they
are not nearly SO easy and even riding as
the American trains.
Sleeping car rates in the United States
at $3.50 and 81 are considered high by
some people here, but in Europe a single
bed, with fewer oonveniences, costs 81. 10.
The European baggage system is simply
internal. There Is no through checking,
and the passenger is supposed to look
after his own baggage at every point of
transfer. Our accident insurance arrange
ments In the stations, free time tables,
bureaus Of information and methods of
selling newspapers, fruits, candies and
food are commended by the German COM
missioners.
There is one thing in the world worse
than the light furnished by the New York
elevated railroad light, and this is the
light in European trains.
The lack of speed in the continental,
and especially the German locomotives, is
due, first to the inferior make, and, sec
ond to the fact that the engines are used
until used up. The American idea of get
ting the best and highest out of the loco
motives, and then setting them aside for
new ones containing the latest devices, is
wastefulness in the eyes of the thrifty Ger
mans.
The sale of American locomotives Is not
pushed as it might be in foreign lands A
Chemnitz firm has sold III locomotives
to Java and is building branch shops in
Russia.
From New York to Chicago, 900 miles,
is "a hour journey. From Leipsie to
Rome, 945 miles, it takes 30 hours. Any
number Of similar comparisons can be
made all of them in favor of American
railroads. York Press.

THE GIANT WOLF.

Tie giant wolf, the woodland wolf,
Strobe southwark down the wind.
And the gale yelled keen, and the moon lean

And the little stars blinked blind.
The seethins snow snakes twined before
And Kissed through the knotted grass,
And he heard overhead the sheeted dead
That dance in the whirlwind pass.
His shag gray locks roughod with the wind,
His white teeth fanged with wrath.
Now God be good to the man whose blood
He smells before his path.
Now God be good to the man whose fect
On the snow blind, swirling way
Shall meet the blaze of his hungry gaze
And the snarling fangs that slay.
And happy he that sits at home.

When alone in the white Of the whirling night
The gray wolf walks the storm.

YUKON INDIANS.
The Barbaric Manner In Which They
Used To Treat Female Infants.

The barDarAc Manner In Which They
Used to Treat Female Infants.
There were formerly many curious traits
of character and queer customs that pre-
vailed among the tribes inhabiting the up
per Yukon country. Perhaps the most
barbaric of all was in the treatment of the
female infants. Just after the child is
born she Is intrusted to some of the oppo.
site sex Of advanced age, who has selected
her for his future wife. During the time
before arriving at that age when she be-
comes wife her male guardian, for such
he now Is, has co contribute Il certain pOr-
tion of his spoiis of the chase To her sup.
port. If before she arrives at that age she
displeases her lord, or he tires of support
ing her, she is given no more food and Is
starved to death. Should female be born
and no man wants 10 provide for her and
claim her as his future wife, then she Is
not allowed TO live. All the male infants
are, however, brought up, as they will
make good hunters. ConscG uently IL is
estimated that for every fCinale there are
100 males.
Curious as il may seem, the two sexes
live separate greater portion of tho time.
Both men and women dress alike, and one
unaccustomed To them is unable to digtin.
guish one from the other unless very close.
During the winter these people travel to-
gether with dogs and sleds ana in tho
summer by birch bark canoes. They also
convert their dogs, and even their squaws,
into pack animals, and it is u curious sight
to see a long pack train of dogs loaded with
90 or 80 pounds each, and the line broken
here and there with q human being labor
ing under her pack of 100 pounds. Their
canoes are very diminutive in size and OF
inferior construction, and it Is an impossi
bility for one not accustomed To their use
to sit in them without upsetting. They

favor Of the free transportation. The
ultimate action. II Is said. will probably
be the acceptance Of the average weight

gress, that Is. up to 1903, when the issue
will be revived.

good for domestic postage, but for con-
venient communication between coun-
tries) and the universal return stamped

scope, also will be brought up. but the
probabilities OF adoption are said to be
against both, with the latter having the
best chance of the two.
There will be no upset of the postage

Platts Absence Delays Tariff Bill.
Washington. May 3.--The tariff bill as
amended will not be given to the finance
committee today. The meeting Of the
committee as originally intended will
not be held. The reason given for this
Is the absence Of Senator Platt Of Con-
necticut, a member OF the sub-commit-
tee on tariff. Some questions have arisen
in the past few days concerning which
II Is considered necessary to consult the
Connecticut senator, and he found 1t i'm
possible to reach the city until this after
noon, too late for the meeting. A meet
ing probably Will be held tomorrow. The
Republican members will in the mean
time continue their efforts to have the
Democrats fix a time for reporting the
bill. The latter however persist in. de-
claring that they will enter upon no
agreement on this point until they shall
see the bill and have an opportunity to
examine IL.
