THAT PANAMA JUNKET.
Members of Congress Fear Acceptance of the Company's Invitation
 May Hurt Them.

Washington, March 23.- Represent ative Burton of Cleveland, chairman of the river and harbor committee of the house, has passed the word along the line that lie does not approve of the members of his committee accepting the invitation of the Panama directors to visit Nicaragua
 It now looks as though the declina tion of the influential members of the house and senate will leave the Pan anna promoters with but a small party. senators and members view the junk ct" with suspicion. They fear it may compromise tbem not only at home, but might lead to many annoyances when the canal project comes up for discussion in the next congress. They are free to admit, however, that it is with regret that they decline the invi- tati0n of the Panama people, as it would undoubtedly be most enjoyable trip; but having political futures be-.

POLITICAL DEBATES
Capt. r1Cnee is Preparing a CompiIa-
 fiOn for Use in the Campaign.

Washington, March 23.- Captain Thomas H. Mckee, the Journal clerk of the house, has been preparing a com pilation from the Congressional Rec ord that will exhibit the political phases of debates in the Fifty-fifth congi ess. The compilation will be for reference in the campaign next year.
 The entire Cuban question: said tho captain yesterday, ' will be threshed over in the next campaign. I prophecy that before then Cuba will be annexed to the United States. Busi- ness interests in the island will urge such action. The Cubans are entirely without revenues, and should they be left t2 govern themselves, they would proceed to tax foreign corporations ont of existence.
 But" added Captain Mckee, that will not affect the discussion of the general expansion policy, or, probably more exactly, the question of colonial control, which is closely related to the Cuban question. This congress, which l regard as the greatest congress in our , Cuba and kindred topics, and members of the house and senate have gone on record regarding various phases of the situation. By next year a great many people are likely to feel like eating some of their own words. It is, there fore, necessary to have some means Of ready reference fer the campaign, so that each mans speeches and his votes can be found at once"
 The book of which there will prob ably be but one copy, will include speeches on Cuba proper, on the army and navy, and all the later utterances in connection with the Philippines and on the enlargement of American mili tary and naval forces. The phases of debates will also include utterances on the tariff, including the Dingley bill and the war revenue bil A feature will also be made of financial debate. although that thas not been so signiti- cant in congress for the last two years. Captain Mckee will take these speech es from the Congressional Record at his leisure during the summer, and, after they have been collected, he will have them paged at the government printing office. After that he will pre- pare an index. Clerk Mcdowell has assigned Him room at the capitol, which he can use exclusively for the work

ADMIRALS EXAMINATION
If Is Merely Routine Performs nee
 Required by inc Statutes.

Washington, March 23-To correct a misapprehensiont that appears to eX- ist in some quarters respecting the ac- tion of the navy department in order ing the physical and professional exam nations of Rear-Admirals Sampson and SCiley, the following statement was made public by the department today:
 Section 1,493 of the revised statutes provides that no officer shall be pro noted to a higher grade on the active list of the navy until he has been eX- amined by board of naval surgeons and D: p:onounced physically qualified to perform all his duties at sea, except when physical disqualifications was occasioned by wounds received in the line of duty.
 ''On March 10 the department wrote an order to Admiral Sampson, who is at sea in command of the North At lantic fleet, directing him to be phys ically examined in accordance with this statute, and On the same day sent an older to Admiral Sohley, who is in Washington, to report at the navy yard for the same examination. Both these examinations are simply physical ex- aminations, ordered in the regular routine way, in compliance with the statute, and have nc relation to the Sampson-Schgey controversy.
 "The mental, moral and profession al examinations of all the officers of flag rank, including both Admirals Sampson and SchleA will be conducted in exactly the same way for them all by a board appointed by the depart ment and composed of Adm;rals Me Nair, Howell and Howison, the two former being at the head of the list of tear -admirals and the third senior to both Sampson and Schley."

p2ratively few people are attacked
 The symptoms denoting the disease, Dr. Woodward said, were quite char aGteristic, and diagnosis is easily es- tablished. Vomiting, headaches and dizziness are among the earliest symp- toms. Coupled with this is a peculiar rigidity of the muscles of the neck, broken respiration, irregular action of the heart, and a pain all over. ' though the last named, alone, may in dicate nothing more than the coming of a severe and harmless cold. Death comes very soon after the first attack of illness, generally within three CT four days, while quite a number of cases have been recorded in which the patient expired twenty-four hours af- ter he first realized that he was not feeling well.
 Boards of health in every part of the country are taking what precau- tions they can against the disease. In most cities, as in Washington. they lack the authority to take fopcIble measures, and it is generally believed that isolation Of cases in separate nos pitfalls as in the case of smallpox, or quarantine of homes, would me un- called for. A plan has been suggested for instructing every physician to mo- tify the health authorities of the OK istence of every case of the disease, so that isolation of the patient within the house may be arranged for. There are now three cases at Johns Hopkins hos pital in Baltimore, where the disease is more or less prevalent, and a much larger number in Savannah, Louisville and other southern cities, and physi- clans of these cities are in correspond ence with each other in order to learn more of the disease. One of the men who has been making a special study of cerebro-spinal meningitis, and has spent his time in investigating the phenomena of the present. epidemic both in this city and elsewhere, is Dr. J. J. Kinyoun of the Marine hospital service.

NOT IN SOAP TRUST.
The N. X. Falrbank Company Officially
Declare That They Will mot 20 In.

Chicago May 26-In an interview to- day
Mr. James 4. Mcmahon, Second Vice
President of The n. X. Fairbank Com
pany, speaking officially in behalf of the
Company, expressed himself as follows:
1--WE are not identified in any manner
with the movement to combine the lead
ing Soap Manufacturers although such a
movement is we'll under way and may
eventually materialize. NOtwithstand-
ing the conditions in soap trade are
very badly demoralized, the Fairbank
Company are not seeking or encouraging
any combination of manufacturers as a
means of improvement. Soap prices
are relatively the lowest in the history of
the trade. The tallow market has ad-
vanced fully l cent per pound in the
past few months without any cores
ponding improvement in the selling
prices OF soaps, hence the present move
ment towards combining interests. Any
combination embracing the principal
manufacturers without the country
might naturally and legitimately be in a
position to advance soap prices pro-
pOrtiOnately to the enhancement of all
raw materials, but beyond this effect on
our trade We are positively not interested
or concerned in any consolidation of
soap interests. We are encouraging our
statesmen in all directions to work with
perfect confidence in the permanent indie
pendence OF this Company OF all Trust"
affiliations, and we are pleased to state
that the soap trade continues very
brisk, because, aside from the natural
effect Of the expected combination, the
current cost of all raw materials war;
rants materially higher prices on soaps,
and sensible buyers are anticipating
future requirements to the full limit OF
their convenience in earring stocks.

THE PASSING OF A HERO.

That was very pathetic moment
when Gen. Wade Hampton took his
final leave of the old veterans at Char
lesion. Many aged and silvery head
ed soldiers wept as the loved leader
passed from their sight, probably for
ever. Once young, handsome, dash
ing, gallant, perfect type of South
ern chivalry, his lance shrank from
no fOeman, and he smiled when death
was near. There was probably not
another officer or private in the whole
army of the South who committed so
many deeds of personal bravery, and
he sprang from the humble position
of private to major-generalcy.
No Drawer man ever led men to
victory.
Now he is old and broken in health
and will probably never again assem-
BILE with his comrades in earthly re-
union. Throughout his life he has
remained true to the Southern cause.
And, in the evening, when the
shadows are coming over the hills,
may his soul be becalmed that the
gentle charities and the glorious
deeds of his well-spent life have ever
endeared him to his countrymen and
written his name high on the temple
OF fame.-Greensboro Telegram.

Trusts Twisting the Farmers.
cleveland Leader.)

With no signs of raising prices for
grain and possibility of any combina-
ton among producers of the cereals
to control the markets. farmers are
to be asked to pay about - per cent.
more for plows than they have had
to give in recent years. The reason
is the increased cost to the pillow
manufacturers of the iron and steel
which they use. At least. that is the
excuse published, and it is 4 good
one. Every pound of metal in a
pillow costs more than it did last year,
or at any recent date. The rate of
increase in metal prices has been
very high. What do the iron and
steel trust managers think will be
the effect upon the voters of farmers
of stiff rise in the price of plows
and farm machinery and implements,
generally speaking? VIII it be con-
ducive to the safety and profits of
such corporations? VIII it not tend
tode stroy them utterly unless they
early cease to eNtort all the money
they can from the people who are
necessarily outside of trusts and all
monopolistic combinations of capitale
Nowon der politicians are coming to
something very like unanimity in
their belief that the trusts will be so
unpopular that no organization can
afford to be suspected of tolerance for
them.

COW PEAS.
The Great Soil lmprovers and Green
Forage or Hay Crop.

1t pays to raise COW peas-pays in
several ways. First, they are great
enrichers of poor land; they make
good land more productive; they are
also splendid and nutritious green
forage of hay crop, enriching the
soil even when the crop is cut off.
From a circular issued by I. W.
Wood & Sons, seedsmen, Richmond.
Va, the following is taken:
Leguminous crops plowed under are
one Of the cheapest ways OF improving
the soil. For this purpose the COW pea
has no superior, especially for medium
or light soil. For this class of soils the
COW pea is superior to clover as a soil
improver; it also makes splendid green
food or a most nutritious hay. There is
no surer or cheaper means of improving
poor soil than by sowing COW peas. and
if We consider that land improved by the
use OF clover excepting the crimson)
takes eight months at least, while this,
much heavier crop, is produced in three
to four months, their great value ia
obvious to all. In its capacity as II
nitrogen gatherer it's growth largely
enables the farmer to dispense with the
use OF heterogeneous or ammoniated
ieTtilHeiS. -itTOSeu UT dulHIOHid III
commercial fertilizers is valued at fifteen
cents per pound. The COW pea to IL
greater extent than other leguminous
crops. has the power to extract this
costly nitrogen or ammonia from the
atmosphere. The removal OF the vines
from the land to use for fodder purposes
decreases to some extent the value of the
crop as feeder of nitrogen to the soil,
but the roots being rich in heterogeneous
matter, are great improvers. From TO-
600 to $4,000 pounds OF green fodder
per acre have been produced by the COW
pea. TO grow for hay they are most
valuable, "a they yield an immense
quantity OF feed of the best quality, and
produce the crop in 80 short time. The
bacon made from hogs fed on peas is
much sweeter and more solid, and the
fat will not run out in cooking nearly SO
much as corn-fed. For enslage they are
unsurpassed, being more nutritious than
green corn and other crops used for this
purpose.
Cow peas should be sown in May, June
or up to the middle of July at the rate of
one to one and one-half bushels per acre.

A Few Words on Divorce.
brooklyn Eagle.)

The large fact about divorces is
that there is almost always another
man or woman in waiting with whom
the applicant expects to renew the
covenants he or she is now anxious to
avoid. Most persons do not seek
divorce because their marriage bonds
are intolerable, but because they
think some other marriage bonds
will be more their taste. If the most
that the law allowed was separation
from bed and board, most of the dis
contented couples would patch up
modus vivendi and go on as they are.
A redeal of husbands and wives
sanctioned by the courts, the church,
and society differs only in degree,
and not in principle from the cut
and-try-again doctrines which two
women were deservedly ostracized for
preaching good many years ago. 1t
is this and large observation of
life which lie back of the demands
that marriage VOWS shall be con-
sidered sacred, something not to be
lightly undertaken, and not to be
severed but for the gravest reasons.
