ANrI-TkUsT BILL.
Not Likely TO Be Reported to This

Congress.
Washington. Feb. 1.-THE antitrust
bill was again under consideration by
the senate judiciary committee today.
but no progress was made toward SEE
curing a report. Some member of the
committee expressed the opinion, after
the close of the meeting. that no report
will be made during the present session
of congress. The bill as passed by the
house is satisfactory neither to the re-
publican senators nor to the opposition.
The committee has practically agreed
upon Hoar's amendment exempting la
Dor organisations from operation of the
present law, but has made no other def
mite progress.

GOOD Rope from Iowa Weeds.

Chicago, Feb. l1.-Senator Clarke, OF
Page county. has made public a way to
heat the Irvine combine. At a farmers
institute he displayed a piece of twine
and piece of rope. resembling a good
quality of hemp. These. he explained
we're made from velvet weed, or abu-
.tilon, which grows rank on almost every
farm in Iowa and has been considered
useless. The discovery that the weed
could be utilized was made by ID. ID.
Weir. a farmer living near Clarinda.
Mr.. Weir discovered the strength of the
fiber of the weed about two months ago.
He picked up few strands from the
ground after they had lain there rotting
since last summer and found them very
strong. They were separated into
threads as fine as the bestsof hemp. Mr..
Weir endeavored to secure a patent, but
found that discovery Of that nature
could not be patented. but the use Of the
weed for making Irvine and rope must
be left free to every one.

ASIATIC SOLDIERS.
Under the Rural Attorney Omssrs There Ia Material for n
 Powerful Army

The Saracens charged on and re- peatedly defeated the mail-clad legions of Europe, and this when the latter were of the two the more ami mated by religious fervor. says a writer in the London Spectator, Hyder Ais horsemen were as good troops as any in the world. Even i'll our own time the French feared Arabs when commanded by Ab-del- Kadir. and the best Italian troops were defeated by Menelek, It is prob able, too, that if Europe knew the de- tails of the sporadic war which rages in Arabia between Turks and Arabs we should revise our ideas of Aslatic capacity, both for soldiership and for heroism: but still it is substan- tially true that the Asiatic soldier wants as fighting man something which we call aptitude for discipline, and which the European officer can and does communicate to him. What that something is has been matter of dispute from the day of AerXes invasion, and will probably never be settled till the Asiatic becomes self conscious and a penman.
 The writer once asked the first Sir Henry Havelock what he, with his great experience and knowledge of military history. believed to be the reason, and his answer, that 'it was due in the long run to some secret want of confidence on the part ot the men in their officers capacity or hon esty." though not completely satis- factory, is. probably as near as we shall get to the truth, The explana- ton. however, does not so much matter. The grand fact is that any competent European officer can do the needed work that such officers are in the market, and that, consequently, powerful Asiatic armies may yet be organized by soldiers of fortune pur- chased for the purpose,

LUCK'S PART IN A REUNION.
Father and Son Separated and Rs- united by Failure and Success
 tn Finding Gold

After parting of 10 years, a father and son were united in Sausalito, Cal, few days ago under peculiar circum- stances. reports a San Francisco pa per.
 In 1856 J. $. Bellrude, local justice of the peace, left his home in he state of Wisconsin to visit California in search of gold. Behind him he left young wife and an infant child. and he worked his way in the California wilder ness with the thought ever before him of making rich strike and returning to his little family with the wealth that would forever make them conn fortable. But luck conspired against him. and while success after success ing in the hills about him, his own lit- tie claim only produced a heritage of debts. Ten years passed, and Bellrude learned that his wife was dead. The son was living in comfort with his mothers people, and the discouraged man. feeling that all was well with the boy. allowed him to drop from li, anu h'S 'NI CAiS'RiiNN bVt'tiiiN uncertain with the father Thirty years ago the father mailed his picture to the son, and since that time the latter has always tried to keep trace of the formers whereabou
 A year ago the son, who had become 46 years of age, left his home, and, emulating his fathers example of haf al. ;nt ha frozen regions of Nome to search for gold Luck. which had never come to the father, showered it's favors on the son, and the latter located num- Der of good claims. which he says, will make him a wealthy man. \ short time ago he returned to Seattle from which place he located his aged father in Sausalito He at once went back to that town. and almost the first man he met was Bellrude, ST. The latter was sitting on the front seat of the hack which he drives when the calls of justice are not pressing, and he was at once accosted by the son. The lat ter held the picture sent him by his father 90 years ago in his hand. and tdFtIuiH Sl<tu up lHt oiu ihdh.

 Well my name k (. NJ. Bellrude. and l guess you are my father. said the stranger. Here is the picture you sent me 90 years ago in Wyoming.
 The father recognized the likeness and then recognized his son. The pair walked home arm in arm. and the fat ted calf was eaten in the judges fur niShed rooms that night The son in tends to put his father on an independ ent footing.
