REGARDING SAMoA-President Nc
Kinley has no apprehension that the
Samoan islands willlead9to interna
tional complications of serious
nature, but the Commission, repre-
senting the United::, States, Great
Britain, and Germany, Switch will
sail from San Francisco, on the 18th
inst. on the United States auxiliary
cruiser Badger, shall fixlthe response
bility for all the mischief done over
there.
SPAIN has been notified. through
the French ambassador. that the
$20,OOO,OOO called for by the treaty of
peace, will be paid on demand, in
New York, in United States gold coin,
or in gold bars, as may be preferred.
This is anticipatory, as this govern
ment has the right under the treaty,
to defer thespayment until six months
after the..date of the exchange of
copies of the treaty.

LEE SoUELcHED-1t is not likely
that any official notice will be taken
of the demandIof Gov, Lee, of South
Dakota, that the volunteers from that
State, now in the Philippines, should
be at once mustered out of service
and sent home, because notice is not
considered necessary. The whole
matter of mastering out the volun-
teers in the Philippines was placed at
the discretion of General Otis, weeks |
ago, March Is, to be exact, no positive
order being issued to him by the War
Department except that whatever the
exigency, no individual who had good
reason for wishing shisi discharge, |
should be kept in the service. Had
he cared to have information on the
subject, before writing a demand |
which struck most men as being silly
to the President, Gov. Lee could |
easily have ascertained that no volun-
teer in the Philippines from South
Dakota or any other state is being |
kept in service against his will. But
he wanted the notoriety he got by |
writing his open letter to the Presi-
dent, or rather by signing letter be-
lieved to have been prepared by Sena-
tor Pettigrew, with the hope that
it would be embarrassing to
President Mckinley; a hope that was
not realized. Mr.. r. S. Person, OF
South Dakota, who is temporarily |
residing in Washington, said of this
letter: ''The sentiment of the people |
of South Dakota is not voiced, and
President Mckinley may rest assured
that it is simply another case OF hear
ing from Senator Pettigrew. The
alleged demand from the Governor
does not represent the sentiment of
the patriotic people of South Dakota,
any more than Governor Lee repre-
sents the intelligent citizenship of
that State"

Some Sanitary Facts.

Always remember that there are san
itary conditions to be looked after in
returning to a house that has been
closed for many months, or even
weeks. If the water has been shut off,
unless all connections with the sewer
have been closed, the closet should be
flushed for hours. Indeed, all the fau-
Gets should be turned on and left to
run for four or five hours before any
water is used for drinking or even
cooking purposes. All the windows in
the house should be opened and the
sunshine allowed to enter from every
possible point. Have free circula-
ton of air through the house tor three
or four days, even If it is still warm
and summery and the sunlight raises
the temperature. A simple disinfect-
ant should be placed in the bathroom,
and sulphur candles should be burned
wherever there is suggestion o.
"closeness." The cellar should be
examined, aud, il it is damp, the furn'
ace should be lighted, if only for a
day.-Fr0m "H0usehOM Notes." IN

had only one vote to spare In the SEN
ate. Not in a quarter of a century has
any senator been subjected to such de-
nunciation as these four Democrats
In Stiles district they held mass
meeting in Allentown and denounced
him for betraying his constituents and
his party. In Boyds district. in Fayette
and Green counties, the utmost indig-
nation prevails. Congressman-elect
Hall came up from Washington and
gave Neely. the senator from Clarion,
piece of his mind in a vigorous way.
All of these men have been receiving
letters from their constituents, ham,
mering them numerically for their be-
trayal of the people in giving aid to the
Quay machine and the Stone admins
tration.
Speaker Farr, Of the house. is the
latest gold brick salesman. There is no
doubt that he has sold the anti-Quay,
Republicans a large and shining gold
brick. Farr was Senator Martins
choice for speaker as against the Quay
selection. Martin had the assurance
that Farr would take care of the anti
Quay interests in at least q measurable
fashion. This implied that the Demo-
Gratis would be looked after to some
considerable extent. S1stead of that.
Farr has made his appointments and
has not only given the Democrats
very cold deal, but he has also thrown
down the anti-Quay Republicans and
the Martin men. The insurgent Re-
publicans are incensed against Farr.
He has filled up the unimportant COM
mittees with anti-Quay Republicans
and given the best that the house af
forded to the Quay people. AS for the
Democrats, they have gotten the worst
of 1t all the way through, and although
they have protested 1t does no good.
MEMBERS MUST BE PAIRED.
Under the rules offered by Repre-
sentative Dixon. of Elk in the joint as
sembly, pairs are now being arranged
for regularly. Hereafter no man need
be recorded as absent and not voting
on the senatorship without being
| paired. Every man who is absent with
out being paired places himself under
suspicion, whether he be anti-Quay Re-
publican or Democrat. The curious
| feature of pair arranged by telegraph
was that in the case of Brophy, Demo-
orat. of Pittsburg. and Harold, Re-
publican. of Beaver. Constituents are
watching the members of the legisla-
| ture very closely, now. and the man
| who is absent must either be paired or
| Else run the gauntlet of every adverse
| criticism and have the finger of sus-
| picion pointed at him.
| The coming week promises to be un-
ey entful The voting will likely go on
the same as usual. Quay has not gotten
within IL votes of a majority. He will
not be able to do any better than this
| during the coming week. His vote on
| Wednesday was Is short of majority,
| on Thursday IA, on Friday 10 and on
| Saturday 12. The coming week will
doubtless see no change, but there will
be doubtless a repetition of lying re
| ports about the Democratic forces and

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1899.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1899.
No nan deserves any credit for
doing the proper thing under compul-
sion, and there never was clearer
case of official action under compul-
sion than Mr.. McKinley's order for
the court-martlal of Commissary Cen
eral Eagan, tor his filthy abuse to Gen.
Miles. Mr.. Mckinley was disposed
to allow Secretary Alger to try 10 hush
it up in his own way, which would not
have hushed it up at all, until he be.
gan to hear from influential mer of
his party, in Congress and all over
the country. Therefore he deserves
no credit for doing, when he found it
absolutely necessary, what should have
been done the day that Egan's filth
ives dumped upon the public. AL
though he has been turned down
Alger has not resigned, and those who
know him best do not believe that he
will, unless forced by Mr.. Mckinley
to do so. The court-martial is bound
to find Eagan guilty, and the punish
ment is dismissal from the army.
Whether Mr.. Mckinley will dare TO
modify that sentence is yet to be seen.
Senator German has taken charge
of the Democratic opposition to the
ratification of the treaty, unless 1t is
so amended as TO make it impossible
for this country to permanently gov
ern the Philippines. At meeting
presided over by Mr.. German all the
Democratic Senators, except six were
present, and decided to work together.
Senator Bacon made a strong
speech in favor of his resolution de-
claling the policy Of this government
to be against controlling Filipnos by
force. The keynote of his speech
was the following: "Of all the great
powers of the earth the u. S. is the
only one that contends for the right
in all people Of self-government, When
they abandon in practice this prnci-
Pile, when they impose their dominion
on an unwilling people, In the majestic
march of free institutions, the hand
upon the great dial of the clock OF the
world will have been set back an hun.

CLEARING RAILWAY TRACK WEEDS.
A Car Equipped With Apparatus Which

Car Equipped with Apparatus Which
Fires Them With Blazing Kerosene.
The law in most States requires that
railroad companies shall keep their
right of way cleared of weeds and
other growth which might prove harm
full to agricultural interests by becOn.'
ing propagating beds for noXious
plants, and 1t is n common sight
along the railroads of this pact of the
country to see gangs of men ut work
during the growing season cutting
down the grass and weeds beside the
railroad tracks, raking these up and
destroying them.
On some of the Western railroads a
method Of recent device is in use
which is much more economical for
this purpose ana thoroughly effective.
Fire and machinery do the work
which men are employed for else
where. \ crude petroleum oil, which
costs 1 3-S cents Il gallon, is the
material used.
A box car is fitted up with a small
mining engine, which drives it alon.
by means of sprocket chain run
ming to one of the aXles, which gives
it all the speed that is needed. An
upright boiler supplies the steam, and
within the car, besides the boiler ana
engine, are tanks of oil. From the
rear end of the car projects the burn
ers, arranged in series of eight, all
under a metal shield to confine the
heat. The shield is ten feet square
and on the Western roads Is used only
to destroy the growth of vegetation
along the track and for few feet on
each side. a blast of air supplied by
an air pump makes the flames from
| the burners long and intense.
The car moves along the track a
| the rate of about mile an hour. The
| first time it goes over the weeds ar,
| killed, and the next time, after tn,
weeds have had a few days to dry III
| it sets fire to them and destroyes then
| completely with all their seeds. In
| sects or grubs. which the weeds har
Dor, are also destroyed by the flames
| The cost OF The oil for this work an,
| the wages of the three men employe
on the car is only about $1.0S a mil,
of single track.
| Another pc roleum oil is entern!
| largely into The new field of usefui
ness on railroads as n means for per
manently laying the annoying dus
which the coIlmotion of passing train
raises from every sort of railroad bed
The first exp riment to use oil to hol
| down this DIST was tried two wear
ago on the West Jersey Railroad Il
New Jersey. 1t proved so successfr
that a company was formed for eN
tending the work, and during the pas
summer hundreds of miles of track
on Long Island, in New Jersey an
some of the Eastern States were S
treated. The oil used is chea.
heavy product distilled for the pun
pose, and 1t is sprinkled over tn
tracks and tle roadbed on each sid
by sprinkling car made for the puI
pose. 1t takes about 1000 gallons {
oil to the mile of track for the FIR
sprinkling, and after that a slightt
sprinklng once a year or so is sal
to be all that is necessary. The q

holds the drst down, but Is said

it prohibits the payment of prize mon
ey, and it provides for the retirement
of enlisted men and petty officers
after thirty years service in the navy.
Mr.. Bailey charged the majority with
the intention to follow the premium
scheme for retirement OF Naval Off
GERS with similar one for army officers
and he might also have said that the
retirement of privates and non-com-
missioned officers of the army would
be likely to follow, as part OF the
grand scheme of imperialism that is
being nursed by the Republicans.
Gar Reed can plead precedent with
the air of man who really believes
therein when it suits his purpose, just
as he topples over long line of pre-
cedents when they stand in the way
of his accomplishing something he
has set out to do. When the Illinois
delegation asked him to make Repre-
sentative Hopkins Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, and
consequently leader of the Republi-
cans, he told them he felt bound and
precedent to give the place to Payne,
of N. Y. much as he admired Mr.
Hopkins, etc. Reeds admiration
TOR Hopkins is much that of his Satan
ic majesty for a certain kind of water.
AS the principle duty of the Repunli-
can Leader of the House is 10 carry
out the orders of Car Reed. Mr..
Payne will fill the bill much better,
from the Reed point of view, than a
man who has occasional bursts of
independence, such as Hopkins does.

Senator Butler, of N. c., got the
Schley-Sampson controversy before
the Senate for few minutes by offer
ing resolution when the nomination
of those two officers to be rear Admir-
ais were reached, in executive session,
calling upon the President for his
reasons for making the promotions.
1t was a very diplomatic discussion,
especial care being taken by the
friends of each of the officers to avoid
offending those of the other. Action
on the resolution was deferred on
account of the absence of Senator
Hale, who is chairman of the Naval
Committee. The object of the reso-
luton is to show that Sampson and
Schley were both promoted for what
was done by Schley, if Schley was not
also moved up. According to all the
official reports, Schley did nothing to
be promoted for.
Senator Sullivan's amendment to
the Nicaragua Canal, limiting to S.,
100000 the amount to be paid to the

it was adopted without a division
before the bill was passed.
1t is not difficult to point out de
fects in the Naval Bill passed by the
House this week. Some of them nota
bly, the premium that will be Offered
for retirement on three-quarters pay
of officers, were pointed out by Rep
resentative Bailey, but the order tt
jam the bill through was obeyed, az
usual, by the majority. The best feat
ure about the bill is that which pu
an end to the clashing between thI
two classes of Naval officers-the line
and the engineer officers by puttinl
them all in one class. The bill in
creases the pay of Naval officers, CT

Which brings US to a definition
OF business: The theory Of busi-
ness is, of course, to provide 9TH
ers with what they want in ex-
change for the things you want or
their equivalent, but as different
individuals have different ideas of
values, according to needs or ma
lures, the real practice Of business
comes down to this: Get all yos'

the other tellow has got for the
least you can. That's Business

Mr.. Walter s. Torian has no
reason to complain of the yield Of
his cane crop this year. He made
728 tons of cane on twenty-eight
acres of land averaging over Is
tons to the acre. Last year Mi.
Torian made twenty-eight tons
per acre, but the yield was not as
large this year owing to the fact
that among the cane there was
some stubble. Mr.. Torian intends
to put in at least seventy-fve acres
in cane for the coming season.
The Gazette has always contended
that this soil could not be surpass-
ed in this State for the cultivation
of cane. Every year the acreage
planted in cane increases. With
the facilities to proftably market
the cane our farmers feel safe in
devotiug a goodly portion OF their
lands to this branch of agriculture.
