Hundreds of veterinary surgeons declare
that their experience is the same, and, in
deed, there is reason for some doubt
whether the disease exists or, at any tate,
whether II is to be found among civilized
dogs. There used to be legends among the
pioneer settlers that foxes aud wolves came
out Of the woods now and then, suffering
from a strange disease Of mysterious origin,
which unused them TO run amuck, biting
all dogs with whom they came in contact,
and causing an epidemic OF hydrophobia

fatal in Its effects.
IL addition to this, the phenomena at
tezting death from what is called hydro
kaobia possess q morbid fascination for
sensation lovers. The disease has been
vividly described by fiction writer's and the
penny-A-liners who deal in sensations. so
that the imagination is affected in such a
way that il is fully prepared to produce
hydrophobia in a nervous person, almost
without the agency Of any dog-bite.
The care Of dogs and other pet animals
Is matter which has been. as rule,
greatly neglected. especially in cities. In
The days when most people who owned dogs
lived in the country, and kept the animals

led comparatively healthy and active life,
and was in little danger of nervous dis

Restraint, and perhaps not properly fed or
housed, he naturally develops peculiar all

SENATOR HOAR'S VIEWS;
He Criticises Congress. for It's Lack
of ECONOMY


of Economy.
WORCESTER, Mass, June 9.-The "Tel-
esram' quotes Senator George F. Hoar as
giving his views on what has been accom-
plished by the Congress just adjourned In
the following interview:
The session OF the Senate has been I'M
eventful SO far as all matters except those
affecting the Philippine Islands. Cuba.
Porto Rico. and Hawaii are concerned.
There has been less economy Of expendi-
lures than usual, even in subjects not
Affected by the war. But 1t is to be noticed
that whenever a legislative body has a
large special expenditure to make 1t Is less
careful than at other times In regard to
economy In ordinary expenses. Our ex-
penses for the next year will amount to
nearly or quite s775. 900, 600, in which are
included. probably. $3.50, COX. COO caused by
the war. Mr.. Allison states the expendi-
ture at somewhat less. But his statement
is still. in considerable part, conjectural.
The Nicaragua Canal bill and the Ship
ping bill have not passed into law
There is among the more cautious men a
great fear that We have not yet sufficient
data to warrant making q large expendi-
ture On the canal; and the Shipping bill
would have caused very long debate. So
it was thought best to put both Cd until
next winter.
"A good many important and useful
changes have been made In matters relat-
ing to the practice Of the United States
courts. but-these things never attract much
general attention.
ut is little remarkable that no legisla-
tion whatever has been had in regard to
the Philippine Islands When Mr.. Taft left
the United States he expected the passage
OF the bill introduced by Mr.. Spooner, and
IS reported to have expressed in public
speech his wonder that a measure calcu-
lated to be SO beneficial In its effects on
matters out there had not been heard from.
year ago the President and the Secretary
OF the Navy earnestly disclaimed any idea
OF having the Philippine Islands under ex-
ecutive control Mr.. Long said that the
Senators who were opposed to the treaty
were the real imperialists, willis those who
favored 1t expected to have all questions
the future Of the Philippines de-
termined by Congress. But that argument
seems now to have disappeared, and that
policy is to be changed.
I'm general, the session has been one of
hard work. conscientious and faithful de-
votion to duty on the part of members Of
both houses OF all parties. There has been
no filibustering. no long debates, and the
session has been very short indeed for the
year Of q Presidential election. The two
parties seem to desire to submit their re-
4ective claims to the people without the
OF any new issue"

THE OCEAN NO DEFENCE.
Strong and NiriIe Navy Needed to
Protect America.
(From the Hartford Couras,

Protect America.
From the Hartford CourasA)
Among the interesting lessons of tie
war in South Africa is one that We in this
country ought to heed with closest atten-
ton. 1t Is the change in the relations
between land and water
1t has always been our boast that in
our $500 miles of seacoast lay our
strength. and that the great Atlantic was
our ample protection. Now we learn that
each port is an opening in our defence,
and that the ocean is merely an easy way
to it..
Within few months England succeeded
in landing over 10000 men in remote
South Africa. She impressed the great
steamers OF her merchant marine and had
the means at once available for moving
her troops.
Germany with the mighty fleets OF her
North German Lloyd and other lines could
command as ample facilities and either Of
these countries. should hostilities devel-
op with the United States, could pour
troops over here SO as to have on our soil
In few weeks twice as nIany trained SOL
diers as we have in our entire army-here,
in the West Indies and in far away Philip
pines all together.
Instead Of keeping them of, the ocean
would bring them to US, The steamship
makes fast time. rides through storms,
holds to her route and gets there" Given
enough soldiers and enough ships land
several European nations have them, and
We should have our hands full of trouble
here. IL war broke out.
The only sure defence would be navy
OF such magnitude that it could patrol the
whole coast and do that In sufficient force
TO overcome the war vessels that conveyed
the hostile fleet. II is true that one or
two thousand soldiers on an unarmored
ship are in a pretty defenceless predea-
merit and that, II they were adequately
met on the water, they would be easily
disposed Of. The way our own troops
were held back at Tampa on board the
transports a week or two. because Of
rumors of phantom fleet somewhere on
the coast, shows the timidity Of soldiers in
the presence of a peril that they have no
way Of ayerting.
But. for our coast, an immense feet
would be necessary. Think Of all the OPP
portunities between Portland and Calves
tom Have we any such outfit? Manifest
" we have not. England has a navy that
can protect her whole island front. But
out little Navy fine as 1t is, would be
hopelessly inadequate to the awful task
that q war with a great modern power
would throw upon 1t. We need large and
constant additions to our ships end 10 get
rid OF some Of the fat-witted optimism
that boasts Of what we might do-and then
does nothing. The time to lay keels, TO
drill soldiers. and to get ready to defend
ourselves isn't after hostile forces have
set foot on our territory.

He has been party man always Ii he had

nee for Governor lie for sound money

and was for silver. His record in this is neither
unique nor unusual. nor has it. indeed any bear
ing on his race for Governor other than one NAV
choose TO hold 1t as an index OF character. But
to party man the character 10 which it is an
index is Of the right kind. 1t te!s OF a willing
ness to subordinate self TO organization. and to
Weld personal preferences to party demands. Mr.
Kern is OF Governor size. and his party can feel
that no man they could have nominated could
get more votes.
