Water for Calves.

In order to determine how much
water the herd Of IS calves at the Kan
sas agricultural college would drink,
the water given them for week was
weighed and put in barrel with IN
attachment for letting 1t out as fast as
needed. In the seven days the ID calves
drank SOS pounds Of dter, or an aver
age of eight pounds day. In addition,
the calves got an average of IA pounds
of skimmed milk, besides grain and hay.
The calves drank several times day,
not much ut time. but often. This
experiment shows that calves need
water in addition to their milk ration;
1t also shows that they like it often
and not much at time. Always see
that II is fresh and clean.

these votes. When the senate ad-
Journed Saturday they lacked only two
votes of having the necessary number
and the general opinion among the ad-
vocates of the treaty is that the hos
tilities in Manila will have the effect
OF bringing sufficient number of their
standard to insure a favorable result
They say there are half a dozen sena-
tors who are not so completely COM
mttted against the treaty as to prevent
their coming to the affirmative side
The opponents of the treaty do not
concede their defeat. Every ballot as
1t is cast will be scrutinized with the
utmost interest, and very close tab
will be kept by many senators on the
progress of the vote. If it should be-
come apparent that the treaty Is to be
defeated, some friend of it will cast
his vote in the negative, for the pur-
pose of moving a reconsideration, and
this motion for reconsideration will
be made Immediately after the mega
tive vote is known. Whether, how
ever, the treaty would be postponed
for an extra session would depend upon
subsequent Developments The pro-
ceedings and vote will be in executive
session, but, If the unanimous agree
ment is observed. the first two hours
of the days session will be open to the
public. 1t is possible, however. that
there may be a motion to close the
doors Immediately after converting, be-
cause OF the feeling that the situation
is too grave to permit Of open discus
sion.
The only other important questions
that are likely to come up after the
ratification Of the treaty are the appro-
priation bills. Several of these are
ready for consideration, and of these
the Indian bill will be the first to be
taken up. If other important meas
ures are brought under discussion, it
will be only for the purpose of forming
a subject for debate, and not passing

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. Whatever
may be the result of the vote which is
to be taken in the senate tomorrow
on the ratification Of the peace treaty
with Spain, the subject of the relations
of this country to the Philippine ISL
ands undoubtedly will be the upper
most topic in the senate during the
week The hostile demonstration Of
the Filipino forces under Aguinaldo
renders this result inevitable. The
occurrence has had the effect Of In
tensifying the feeling in the senate
which had grown out of the contro-
versy over the treaty and which was
at almost fever heat. On this account
it will be very difficult for the senate
to take up other subjects.
For the present, all interest centers
in the outcome of the vote on the
treaty This vote will mark the close
of one of the most memorable contests
that ever occurred In the senate, and
there is profound and widespread in
terest in the outcome. The vote is set
for o'clock. and the balloting will be-
gin promptly at that hour. The first
vote will be On amendments. Of these
the only important one yet offered is
by Mr.. Vest, placing the Philippines
on the same basis as Cuba. The vote
will then be taken upon the treaty it
self.
A favorable vote on7the part of two
thirds of the members of the senate Is
necessary to secure ratification. Hence,
with a full membership of the senate,
sixty votes will be necessary to secure
a favorable vote. There are now sew
Ell senators absent from the city.
OF these, five, namely, Messrs. Stew
art, Proctor. Cannon, Wilson and Wet
more are favorable tie the treaty, and
Messrs. White and Turpie are opposed
to it. Senator Stewart is expected to
arrive in time to cast his vote, and, if
this expectation should be realized,
there would be only six absentees, and
it would be very convenient to arrange
for pairs, as two senators in the af
f1rmative will necessarily be paired
against one in the negative. On this
basis the total vote of the senate
would be eighty-fiye and ffty-six
would be necessary to ratify.

government and the United States forces are

ourselves from attack no matter whence 1t
comes. 1t is difficult to say what effect the
trouble at Manila may have upon the senate 8

FOR BLOOD
MINNESOTA VOLUNTEERS TRIED
TO AVENGE SATURDAYS MUIR
DER AT AUGUSTA
SIXTY OF THEM UNDER GUARD
ample of Private Dennis O'Con-
neIls Murderer They Transgress-
ed Military Law, and the Officers
In Command Had the Leaders
Placed in Irons.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 5.-(Specia1)-
The killing of Dennis O'Connell, vol
unteer soldier of the Fifteenth Min
nesota, in Brown Hadley's barroom
Saturday, has made this day of wild
excitement. O'ConnelPs comrades were
fired by the tragedy, which, it was
stated, occurred in spite of the en-
treaties of the murdered mans brother
to Hadley not to pay any attention
to Dennis, as he was drunk. The diff
f1culty began, it is said, over profane
language used in the hearing of Had
ley's wife. Many of the soldiers of the
Fifteenth Minnesota swore vengeance.
Shortly after breakfast today about
100 of the men made plans for the
capture of the murderer. The enlisted
men had no ball cartridges for their
rifles, but, going to the regimental
commissary and stores, they took pick
axes and broke open the ammunition
cases and each man took about fifty
rounds of ammunition. The news soon
reached Gen. Sumner, the commander
of the First division of the Second
army corps, and he ordered out the
Third cavalry, the Tenth Ohio and
Thirty-hfth Michigan regiments. The
men were deployed as skirnishers and
the woods in the vicinity of the camp
were secured thoroughly. 1t was some
time before any of the men who were
breaking away could be found, but
about 1880 Troop A, under command
of Lieut.. Hawkins, found the entire
lot, about sixty men, entirely armed.
SIXTY ARE UNDER GUARD.
They were taken to division head
quarters and put under guard. Gen.
Sumner issued orders that all passes
should be confiscated, and that no
more be issued. The ringleaders were
put in irons. The military authorities
refuse to give the names of the men
under arrest.
The penalty for this offense is said
to be death.
Hadley has since given himself up
