legislation The house bin appropriate

ana secure a measure which 3epubli-
can senators generally can support.
rms partial agreement was reached
after caucus lasting from 2 o'clock
until $50.
The temper of the debate today was
much milder than that of Yesterday.
AS soon as it was generally understood
that the tariff features OF the legisla-
ton were 70 be postponed, the discus
sion reverted TO the governmental fea-
lures of the bill, and upon this subject
the time was mostly spent
senator Foraker explained MANY
features of the bin and was frequently
lnterrOga ted, 50 that he was on his
Feet a great deal of the time. ii was
minated that the rill could be
amended if not satisfactory. and sen
ators opposed to a tariff on Porto Rican
products said that there would not be
the least objection to passing the gov
eminent bill.
Leave 1t to the President.
Senator Elkins said that he favored
leaving not only the questions of reve-
MES, but the government of the island
as well, to the president. He thought
the island would be much better off
under military rule for the next two
years than under any government that
could be devised by congress. He par
ucularly counseled delay.
There was general unanimity as TO
the wisdom of providing for immediate
action on the $2.OOO,OOO relief PROPOSE
ton.
Senator Plat of Connecticut. who
was not heard yesterday, expressed
himself as firmly convinced that the
principle of a protective tariff in the
interest of the industries of the United
States should be sustained in whatever
was done
Senator Hoar talked at considerable
length about the legal phase of the
question, expressing the opinion that
the senate could not act with too great
tous a subject.
Senator Warren agreed with Mr.
Hoar upon this latter point. He had,
he said, been favorable to absolute

United States proper, but he had list
cred with interest and profit to the
arguments on the other side. and he
did not believe that the subject had
been exhausted by any means.
He felt everything was to he gained
and nothing to be lost by proceeding
deliberately. especially in view of the
fact that the entire problem was new
Many other speeches were made in
the same line. notably by Senator's Al
drich and Mason AT this point the
suggestion of a committee was made,
and as soon as the authority for it's
appointment was given, the caucus ad-
journed sine die.

Wonderful Power Stored Up In Natures

Let us take a pound Of what we will
call average coal, containing, say, TO-
600 heat units. This would be some
what smaller in size han a mans fist.
A pound of this Goa If expended in
mechanical work. would give us 236
horse power. Imagine at the time OF
the Pharaoh's two long lines of men,
extending over half a mile, all pulling
steadily. at the command of the task
master, at a great rope, to raise some
huge obelisk, and as you see them
sweating, Juggling and straining, think
again of this small lump of coal in
which nature has placed an equal
amount of power. In some countries
men who have been specially trained
as porters, to carry heavy loads ON
their backs, will, as a full days work,
carry a total of from $50 to 900 pounds
a distance of one mile. And yet
each has expended but one-third of the
power stored up in this pound of coal
An exceptionally strong man has been
known to do one-half horsepower OF
work as his mightiest effort, but In
two and a half minutes, work at this
rate exhausts his muscular force. Let
us suppose 100 such men putting forth
such extreme effort at rope, or crank,
or croWbar: as they fall back, red

portion of the human race. From the.
earliest times spinning has been a
much-prized accomplishment of the
fair sex We need look back only to,
our own grandmothers. We can pic
ture them, from their own stories, told
us when we were children, as rosy
checked damsels sitting around the
open fireplace and spinning from early
candlelight till bedtime, let us say
possibly two hours. Let us then con-
slider for a moment the thousands OF
spindles rafting and whirling in a
modern cotton factory, impelled by the
power locked up in coal. One pound
of this coal carries the potential en-
ergy to do the work of 5000 such
spinsters. In saving wood. a man may
work at the rate of about sixty strokes
a minute, and consider himself a top
sawyer and his saw blade may have
progressed five feet a minute: but a
circular saw, driven by machinery,
may be put through seventy times as
much wood. And yet this n little
pound of coal contains power enough
for 1870 such saws.-E. D. Meier. in

granted and thieves were convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary. Peace

New Mexico First in Sheep.

Today the seat of the sheep-shear-
ing industry of the Union has shifted
from the middle west to the plateau
region between the Rockies and Sier-
ras. Ohio is still doing very we'll in
the business, with nearly 100000
head, but she has dropped from first
to fourth in the list of mutton pro-
ducing states. New Mexico is at the
head, with more than 10000 0 Mon
tana has nearly as many, while Wy
oming leads Ohio by a few hundred
thousand head. Idaho closely follows
Ohio in the rating. Oregon, California
and Texas each has about $500, 900
sheep.
