General Isidor Rayner that he is ready
TO take any action with reference to

determine upon our course Of action. "

OUTLOOK IN CONGRESS
senate VIII Vote on Canal Treaty
Today-In the House.


Today-In the House.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The house
this week will pass the bill to provide
temporary revenues for the Philippine
Islands, which was reported from the
ways and means committee last Fri
day. Under the agreement made gen
eral debate will extend throughout
Tuesday and until o'clock Wednes-
day, when a vote will be taken. There
will be no opportunity to amend the
measure. There will be a break I'm
the party lines on both sides Of the
public. Mccall, Of Massachusetts, the
Republican member of the ways and
means committee. will speak against
the measure, and will be supported in
his dissent by Mr.. Littleheld Of
Maine, and perhaps several other Re.
publicans.
The disposition OF the senate is to
do very little business beyond acting
upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty be-
fore adjournment for the holidays. In
accordance with the agreement
reached on Friday. the treaty was
voted on today. Tomorrow the an.
nouncement of the changes in commit
tees will be made and there is prob
ability that after this announcement
the senate win adjourn until Thurs.
day, when the adjournment for the
holidays will take place, extending to
January 6.
There probably will be action before
adjournment Thursday on a number
of nominations, and the chances are
that Attorney General Knoxs nomina.
tion will be among those to receive
attention. The introduction Of reso'
lutions bearing on the case Of Admiral
Schley is also among the probabilities,
but no action in that direction is an
ticipated for the present.

Those who believe in the permanency
of the marriage relation are looking
with anxious eyes to the convocation
now in session at San Francisco. This
branch of the Christian church has
become alarmed at the dangerous
facility with which the marriage bond
can be severed and the lack of uniform
law which has produced such disastrous
results that the whole country has been
startled. If that church would per-
suade itself to take the lead in trying
to throw this subject into the hands of
Congress by means of constitutional
amendment, and thus do away with
the fatal complications which are at
present disgrace to the United States
and distinct menace to our home life,
this convention would become memora-
bic in the ethical history of the country.

The Frye Ship Launched.

The second attempt to launch the steel
ship William P. Frye at the Sewall yard,
Bath, Oct I'd was successful in every re-
spect Although O'Clock was the hour
set for the launching, everything was in
readiness at $50 and on account of the
unusual high tide it was thought feasible to
send her off the ways at that time. 1t was
just $50 O'Clock when the word was given
and the big vessel gave preliminary quiver
and then started slowly down the ways. AS
the bow receeded Miss Caroline Frye Briggs,
granddaughter of Senator VIM. P. Frye,
said: 81 christen thee William P. Frye and
at the same time she broke bottle of cham
payne over the ships bow.
The naming of the ship Senator Frye was
the happy thought and earnest desire of the
late Hon. Arthur Sewall. 1t is interesting
to note that the filling of the contracts for
materials for the building Of the Frye was
the last business transacted by Mr.. Sewall
before his death. Senator Frye was unable
to be present at the ceremony Work
will Immediately begin at the Sewall yard
in the building of five-masted steel schoon-
er, the first ever built.

In New York city the milk commits
sioners demand that milk must not
contain more than 10000 germs or
bacteria of any kind per cubic cent?
metre. A scientific investigation shows
that the amount of bacteria in the milk
used in the city is something alarming.
Out of twenty samples examined on a
winter day, November 10th, the lowest
was $4,000 germs and the highest $780,
600, while on June 29th, with the ther-
mometer at 80 degrees, out of twenty
samples examined the lowest contained
100000 and the highest $4,000, 900 per
cubic centimetre. The prevalence of
bacteria, to great extent, arises from
the dirt in the milk. There are seven
conditions on which the amount of the
bacteria depends-the cleanliness of the
barn, condition of the COW, condition of
the mixer, condition of the utensils,
the cooling process, the transportation
and the cleaning of the milk bottles be-
fore they are returned. What would
be revealed were our Maine milk SUBJ
jected to such thorough examination?
