Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
tapped 1t up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul.
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.

CHARGES AGAINST ROOT DENIED
Captain Fowler's Accusations Are Do.
clared Without Foundation.


Washington. Nov. 27.-serious charg.
es have bene made against Secretary
Root and other war department officials
by q. r. Fowler, formerly captain of the
Thirty-third infantry. He has been
sending out to ex-officers of the volun-
teers circular letter to the effect that
those OF the latter who have been com
missioned in the army are being cheated
out OF their position on the lineal list,
and therefore are being deprived of
their rights to promotion in their turn.
Fowler in his circular asks that a con-
certed effort be made to have congress
change the law and compel the secre-
tary OF war to carry out the Intention
Of the legislation which resulted in the
increase of the army embraced in the
statute of Feb. 9, 1901. Fowler says a
great injustice is being done officers and
that they should stand up for their
rights.
AS a matter OF fact, the war depart
ment is doing everything which the law
compels. The position Of newly APP
pointed ex-volunteer officers of the lin
cal list will be determined by their
length OF service Of officers of the regu-
lar establishment. 1t will be some time
before all these officers are appointed,
and until that is done their exact posi-
ton can not be definitely determined.
The war department officials say there
is no such thing az injustice, and there
will be no need of further legislation to
secure to newly appointed officers their
rights under the law.

SECRETARY WILSON TALKED.
Failure of Canadians to Keep Agree
ment Regarding Shipment of Cattle.

= allure OF GdhdQIdnS TO NecP Agree
ment Regarding Shipment of Cattle.
Washington, Nov. 27.-The time of the
cabinet meeting Tuesday was largely
devoted to again going over the presi-
dents message. Some changes We're
made in the verbiage, but they were not
important. Secretary Wilson talked to
the cabinet for a short time about what
he regarded as the failure of Canadians
to keep an agreement made with the
United States as to the bringing of cat
tie to Canada and this country from
Great Britain. Scotland and Ireland.
This agreement, made number OF
years ago. provided that an American
and a Canadian inspector of cattle
should be kept in Great Britain to in
spect cattle coming to Canada, destined
either for Canada or the United States.
This was to guard against getting dis
ease into this country. The complaint
Secretary Wilson has is that Canadians
have withdrawn their inspector and
permit the inspection to be made by a
citizen of Great Britain, who may be
competent In his knowledge of cattle,
but does not have the same interest that
Canadian would have In expectation
of cattle

of the evidence they would give on be-
half of the government.
Tie trial of Captain Tilley began on
Saturday. Nov. 9. The most important
witness was DR.. Blackwell. He testi-
fed that about 1890 p. IN. and on to-
ward midnight he once saw Captain
Tilley lying down outside his cabin
door and undergoing a Samoan mas
sage treatment. This treatment is very
common here with whites as well as
native chiefs.
The prosecution closed its case on
Monday, Nov. IL, rather earlier than
was expected. Tuesday the defense
began, the chief witness being Lieuten-
ant Richardson. of the Aberenda. and
Judge Guers. The trial is expected to
end tomorrow.
1t appears that Admiral Casey, after
due investigation, dropped the charges
of maladministration against Captain
Tilley.

WANTS POSTAL CHANGES.
Report Of the Third Assistant Post.
master General,

master General.
| Washington, Nov. 27.-Third Assis-
| tant Postmaster Edwin C. Madden In
his annual report recommends the con-
solidation of third and fourth class mail
| matter: an increase of the limit Of in
| demnity for the loss Of registered mat
ter from $40 to 500. and the postal en-
ployes be made liable for the value of
registered matter lost thru their care
lessness. The total postal revenues for
the year from all sources were Sill, $751;
1913, being 1928, 727 less than the expen.
ditures.
This is exclusive of the cost Of trans
porting mails over the subsidized Pa
cine roads that have not yet settled
their bonded accounts with the govern
ment. The total value Of stamped pa
per and stamp books issued during the
year was $1o4, 7s5. ss7. The issue of post
age stamp books is regarded as q sue.
cessful experiment. The 4, SOS, 42s stamp
books issued have cost the department.
$469 per thousand to manufacture.
There 6S5,e14,S00 postal cards issued.
The amount Of second-class matter
mailed free of postage to actual sub
scribers within the county of publica-
ton constitutes practically per cent Of
the entire amount mailed.
Mr.. Madden says it is but question
OF time, II the rate Of second-class mat
ter continues, before it will consume
most, If not all. of the revenue derived
from other classes of mail matter.
While second-class matter combined
with Its necessary equipment, consti-
tutes approximately two-thirds Of the
combined weight Of all the four classes
OF mail matter, 1t furnishes only slight
~ over per cent of therevenue from all
postage. About 10 per cent of this nom
mai and unsustaining rate Mr.. Madden
says is due to construction of the
statute which has permitted the adnis-
sion OF great number of alleged news
papers and periodicals which are merely
pretensions. The principal abuses Of
the pound rate named by the report are
sample copies. bulk subscriptions book
serials, return copies to news agents
and premiums to subscribers, the latter
being characterized as the king of
abuses. The hope is expressed that the
next annual report will show the second
class of mail practically free from the
larger abuses. This reformation. the re-
port says, may make 1 cent postage
practicable at no distant date,

Accusations Against Commander Tilley
Apparently Without Foundation.
Tutuila, Nov. ~, via San Francisco.
Nov. 27.-On the morning OF Nov the
United States steamer Wisconsin ar
rived in the harbor. 1t was announced
that Admiral Silas Casey has been or
dered to Page Page to convene a court
martial on Captain b. F. Tilley, the
commandant OF the station. The news
was received with great surprise by the
Samoan people, who had been making
extensive preparations during the past
month to welcome Captain Tilley on
his return.
On Nov. 6 the Sonoma arrived, with
Captain Tilley and Mrs. Tilley on
board. The Samoans of Page Page
had built a huge catamaran of native
trees, on which was bower decorated
with evergreens and flowers. Flags
and streamers were flying from the
masts. They approached the steamer
with this immense raft and Captain
and Mrs. Tilley descended to 1t, whence
they were pulled ashore, while songs OF
Welcome, composed for the occasion
were sung. Upon landing at the Gus
tom house there was a large crowd to
meet the captain. who was loudly
cheered by whites and natives. Cap
tain Tilley at once resumed his office
as commander.
The Solace arrived on Nov. with
Admiral Evans and the officers of the
court martial. The Aberenda, which
had been dispatched to Alpa to bring
witnesses for the prosecution, returned
the same day. AT o'clock of the same
date Captain Tilley was formally served
with copy Of the charges and specifi-
cations and was ordered to deliver up
his sword. Admiral Casey interviewed

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

Nominee for Sneaker

Nominee for Speaker.
| Washington. Nov 27.-When the DEM
ocrats meet in caucus they Will also
make nominations for officers of the
house. Representative Richardson of
| Tennessee will receive the nomination
| for speaker. This is an empty honor.
altho it carries With it the leadership of
the democratic party on the floor of the
house, unless some other member of
| that party attempts to wrest this honor
from the regularly chosen person, and
thereby causes a split in the minority.
The democrats also will consider the
situation that will be presented to them
this winter In general it will be to OPP
pose everything which the republicans
propose
Representative Richardson, who is re-
garded as the democratic leader in the
house, outlined clearly last night the po-
sition of the democratic party. Mr..
Richardson disclaims that he is speak
ing for any one but himself but never
theless his ideas are concurred in by
many OF his followers.
II think we should stand for recipro-
city, said Mr.. Richardson, and de-
mand legislation upon this subject
which would be practical and of benefit
to American producers and American
consumers. The democrats should adj
vocate a reduction of the tariff and the
removal of the prohibitive features. at
least.
I've certainly will work for retrench-
ment in expenditures and endeayor to
prevent extravaganza wastefulness in the
use Of the peoples money. There should
be reduction of the war taxes. A large
surplus has been piled up and it should
be returned to the people. thru the cur
tailment Of the internal revenue taxa
ton to which they are now subjected.
I'VE are ready to join hands with any
party to do these things. do not look
for any practical legislation on the trust
question.
THE attitude of the democratic party
with regard to the Philippines will be
determined by a caucus. I do not care
to discuss the subject of Cuban annex
ation.
