Washington. June 11.-ShOrtly after
o'clock in the afternoon the confer
ence report on the war revenue bill
was agreed to by the senate after a
discussion lasting four hours. The de-
bate upon the measure was without
special interest and was entirely de-
void of acrimonious features. 1t WAS
fOregone conclusion that the report
would be agreed TO, and the Onlv
question OF interest involved was how
soon a vote could be reached. The de
bate indicated generally that the bill,
as agreed upon by the conferees, was
reasonably satisfactory to everybody,
except as TO the bond provision. The
votes east against the adoption Of the
report reflected the opinions Of those
senators who are opposed To any in
crease in the Understanding debt Of
the country. The report was agreed
10 by the decisive vote of AZ TO -.
Every Republican voted for the
measure. and their votes were supple
mented by Democrats. ! Silver Re
publican and ! POpulist. The Demo
Gratis who voted for the report were
MeSSrS. Caffery. German. Lindsay.
McEncry. Mitchell. Morgan. Murphy
and Turpie: the Silver Republican was
| Mr. Mantle and the Populist was Mr.
Kyle.
The vote against the measure was
cast 10y Ii Democrats. 3 Silver Repub-
leans and 3 POpulists. As soon as
the engrOsSed bill can be signed Ivy the
presiding officers of the two branches
of congress ii will be sent to the pres
ident.
Just at the close of the session a bit
ter personal discussion was precipi-
tated by Mr. Butler who attacked Mr..
Kyle for having voted for the issuance
of bonds. Mr.. Butler. speaking as the
chairman of the Populist national com
mttee. officially declared that Mr..
Kyle did nor represent the PODulist
party. Mr.. Kyle replied warmly. say
ing that he was responsible for his po-
]itical actions. not 10 Mr.. Butler but

THE MAD DOG BUGABOO,
Scientists Insist That There Is No Sue
Thing as "HydrOphObia."

Scientists Insist That There is No Such
Thing as "Hydrophobia-"
In the June Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward w. Box writes on "The Bugaboo of
the Mad Dog" quoting number of au-
thorlties to show that there is no such
disease as ''hydrophobia" and inquiring
if sit is not time, therefore, in view of
these indisputable facts, that we should
give ourselves little more freedom from
this bugaboo of the mad dogs What the
newspapers so essentially report as cases
of 'hydrophobia' are, In reality, nothing
more nor less than instances of people
who have been bitten by dogs and fright
ened into hysterical conditions in which
they involuntarily reproduce all the sup
posed symptoms of 'bydrophobia.' 1t is
pity that our newspaper editors cannot
have more careful regard for the feel
ings Of women during the summer months
and agree to suppress the reports of cases
supposed to be shydrophobla.' They make
the public mind nervous, and do more to
spread the silly notion of belief IN 'hy
drophobia' than anything else. Women
have had their feelings played upon long
enough by this foolish notion of hydro
phobia, and enough unnecessary suffering
has been inflicted upon the dog, who is
often killed for nothing but popular
fallacy. 1t is high time that common
sense should rule: that we should believe
the fact that there is no such thing as
shydrophobia,' and rid ourselves of this
buyabOO of the mad dog"
