II we may believe reports from Pretoria
all the European Red Cross ambulance re-
cruits in the Transvaal have followed the
example of the Chicago corps and taken
service in the Boer foreign legion. This
is rather serious thing. Under the strict
letter of military law these men may not
be subject to punishment as outlaws. The
Boer authorities outlaw their service.
however in accepting such illegitimate aid

against such perfidious practices in future

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Canal LegfsIation-At last Spea

Canal LegfsIation.-At last Speaker
Henderson has permitted Mr.. Hepburn to
| get a day set apart for consideration of
/ isthmian canal legislation. Unanimous
! consent was granted yesterday for the
| Hepburn Morgan bill to be brought be-
| fore the House May and g Representa-
| tive Burton. whose most distinguished
constituent is the Hon. Mark Hanna,
showed plainly by his conduct yesterday
that he proposes to lead a fight against
the bill, and either kill il outright or so
emaScuiate it that no subject of her Brit
| ish Majesty. Queen Victoria, will have
cause 10 regret its passage. Mr.. Hepburn,
to the surprise of his friends and the dis
appointment of all of the advocates of
an American canal, already has yielded
materially to the demands OF the Anglo
manlacs by accepting an amendment to the
original draft of the measure harmonizing
il with one Of the main contentious of the
-Pauncefote Treaty. 1t is very well
understood that If the bill gets through the
present House at I'll it will be SO shaped
by the Administration henchmen in that
body that every valuable concession
granted to Lord Pauncefote by the Angli-
cised Mr.. John Hay will be embodied in
the competed measure. This is the scheme
decided on by the Administration when it
became evident that the -Pauncefote
treaty could not get through the Senate
without seriously endangering party har-
mony. In view OF the Senate's pronounced
opposition to the sell-out to Great Britain
made by Secretary Hay under the hypnotic
influences of Lord Pauncefote of Preston
it seems improbable that the emasculted
canal bill will find much support in the
upper house of Congress. 1t is believed to
be possible for the transcontinental rail-
road interests to bully it through the
House. In that body there are many
statesmen whose tenure of office is too
insecure to permit them to ignore the
demands of the men associated with Coils
p. Huntington and James ]. Hill in the
control of the transcontinental railroads. |
Then. too. the Mckinley managers are
looking to these men for substantial con- |
tributions to the campaign fund. All of |
these considerations will combine to
deaden the American character of the |
projected inter-oceanic canal and by the |
same token will conspire to rush through |
canal legislation at this session 1t is |
pointed out that the interests set against |
American control of the enterprise will |
not be willing to chance 1t with the next |
Congress, the House of which is almost |
certain to be Democratic. 1t is considered |
possible of course. that the real friends
of the canal may be able to defeat all leg
islation at this session. and it appears that
this will have to be done as the only
means of checking the well-organized J
movement now on foot to construct the |
canal in accordance with the demands of
Great Britain and the transcontinental
railroad magnates.

MIR. Quay's Cause.-The consensus of
opinion places the majority by which
Matthew Stanley Quay is expected to win
his seat in the Senate today at three. The
most sanguine Of Quay's friends do not ex-
pect his majority to exceed five votes. The
opposition still contend that he will be
defeated but they do not produce the fig
ures to support their contention. Senator
Platt of Connecticut yesterday made a
surprisingly strong argument against
Quay. 1t has been known all along that
Mr. Plat would vote against the Pennsyl-
yanian on constitutional grounds, but il
was not known that he would place on
record such an extended and powerful ar
gument in support of his position as he
presented yesterday to the discontinue
even of the scholarly and logical Mr.. Hoar.
If Mr. Quay wins mis- contest today it is
supposed that he will present himself at
the bar of the Senate tomorrow at noon
to be sworn in. Then he will turn his at
tention wholly to the situation in Penn
syIyania. where he has the fight of his life
ahead The game thus far has gone against
him at home, but 1t is thought that when
he gets back to the Senate. with a voice
and vote in legislation for the rest of the
session. he will be able to check to a large
extent the strong current now running
against him in the Keystone State.
Fighting the Wnr Tnx-The Hon
John S. Runnels. of Chicago. attorney of
Pullman's Palace Car Company, was much
in evidence around the Capitol yesterday.
He did not state the object of his visit
but it is surmised that very soon strong
and active sentiment will spring up in
Congress against the longer continuance of
by the war tax. 1t is not thought that
this will result in a wholesale abolition
of these taxes. but merely that bills for
their gradual abolition will be encour
aged. The corporation represented by Mr..
Runnels Is staggering under Z two-cent

the company. Other .cOrporatons-or at
least nearly all of them-have been able
to so construe the special law imposing
taxes upon them as to have their pa

WASHING THE UDDERS.
II Is the First step Toward Securing
an Absolutely Uncontaminatcd
MIX supply.

To secure the milk without contomi-
nation is problem which is practical
ly solved by washing the cows udders
before milking them. If clean, pure,
sweet dairy products are desired one
of the first and most essential consid-
erations in the process is TO get tho
milk without contamination.
or course many will question the
sanity of dairyman who is
seen with buckets of water and neces-
sary cloths cleaning the udders Of his
cows. This is to be expected. But lei
it be reported, il anyone finds pleasure
in circulating the rumor, that the nd
der-washing farmer is slightly "off"
and has cranky IDEAS just keep an
eye on him and il will be learned that
his butter and cream are bringing
fancy prices and go into the kitchens
of the well-to-do town and city people.
Moreover, il investigation is made il
will be discovered that the excellence
of his dairy products is due largely to
cleanliness.
If cleanliness is practical while milk
ing, the udders OF the COWS washed be-
forehand, il is very probable that IL
will be observed in the subsequent
handling of the milk. II is right al
ways to begin at the beginning, and To
wash the udders is the first step to-
ward securing uncontaminated milk.
This is done with milk-warm water,
and the udders are dried with absorp-
ton towels or cloths. The milk drawn
first should be rejected as il contains
bacteria which have developed in the
milk at the ori6ce Of the teat since
the last milking. This is extra work."

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.
II May Find IL. solution I'm n Manner
Surprising and Certainly I'm
looked For.

The good roads problem, subject of
interest TO almost every man, woman
and child in the whole country, seems
TO be about TO find solution in man
ner that is certainly surprising and un-
looked for. And, as is usually the case
with such discoveries, il was accidental.
IL has been found that IL road be grad
ed up and put in good shape to shed
water and then have n liberal applica-
ton of oil made to il, that IL will soon
pack solid and remain SO, not becoming
either muddy in wet weather or dusty
in dry. AS the kind of oil that is used,
crude petroleum, costs only four dol
lars per barrel, il is estimated that
mile of road 25 feet in width can be
treated for less than $500. Compared
with matchmaking or any other we'll
known method heretofore in vogue,
this cost is mere bagatelle, and il
the oil makes and keeps the road as
good as is claimed, and lasts as long as
il is said to do, this will certainly prove
the most inexpensive way 10 improve
roads.
But this is not all. Everyone knows
that n good, dry, dustless road of earth
is far the best in every respect to drive
on. II is pleasant for the driver, better
for the vehicle and infinitely better for
the team. AS the oil treatment has not
been extensively tried, IL is not def
nitely known whether ii will do well
on all kinds of dirt roads, but IL costs
so little TO test the matter that the
road supervisors in every county ought
to make an experiment on different
KINDS of earths TO find out the facts
II all is true that is claimed, this is the
greatest discovery ever made in rond-
making, and makes good roads posi-
bic everywhere. The application of the
oil is merely n vigorous sprinkling, and
IL is therefore easy 10 make trial.

How the Germs Arc Nurtured and the
DIsense L. Sprcnl.


IL would seem that people will neve-
learn 10 be careful. The recent alarm.
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox. throughout different sec
tions of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly TO the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer Of paper on a wall, using COM
mon flour paste, is especially calcu-
lated TO create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such result if they tried. The
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which are ready TO dart forth
the infection at every opportunity.
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with pure, cleanly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine, for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is n
rock-base cement, which incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. 1t is
easily applied, comes ready TO mix
with cold water, requires no washing
or scraping before renewing or re-
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing is equal 10 Alabastine as a
disinfectant TO render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more hab.
