Senate Discusses Shipping Bill
House Honors Senator Davis.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate
met at II o'clock yesterday and with
the exception of an hour and a half a:
the beginning of the session devoted
the entire day to he discussion of the
ship subsidy bill Senators Turner
and Mallory were the speakers in be
halls of the opposition. Senator Turn
er's speech was based largely upon ex
ceptiOns which he has taken to Sena
tor Frye's criticisms of his former
speech. Senator Mallory opposed the
bill on constitutional grounds.
The house spent the day until 3
o'clock in consideration of the post
Office appropriation bill The struggle
over the questions of restoring the ap-
preparation for the pneumatic tube
service and of the reduction of railway
nail pay were precipitated by amend
ments offered, but no action was
taken. At o'clock public business

RAT SHOWED HIM THE MINE.
Gold Ore Disclosed by Rodents Curl
Gus Habit.

Gold Ore Disclosed by Rodents Curl
Gus Habit.
The actions Of trading rat led N.
R. Ingoldsby to the discovery of a rich
gold mine in Arizona. He named the
property the Rat Hole Mine.
Mr.. Ingoldsby is in Denver on the
way to his home in England. He has
been spending several months near
Mammoth, on the San Pedro river in
Arizona. His purpose was to enjoy
the hunting and make a collection of
the animals and minerals of the south
west. He pitched his tent in the can
yon of the San Pedro in the Santa
Catarina Mountains.
He had no neigAbors, and was for a
long time unable to account for the
disappearance of small articles that he
left lying about his camp. At last
he noticed that when anything was
taken something was always left in it's
place. This was usually a bit of stone
or wood. The culprit he found to be
a large rodent of the species known
as the trading rat. The habits of
the animal made an interesting study
for Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he often lay
awake at night 20 watch for his visi-
tor.
A silver spoon was missing one
morning, and in it's place was piece
of quartz carrying free gold. This
still more excited Mr.. Ingoldsby's
curiosity, and after several attempts
he succeeded in following the ami
NAL to it's home. Near by was the
ledge from which the gold-bearing
quartz hid been taken. Mr.. Ingoldsby
made an examination thorough enough
to prove that his discovery was of con-
siderable value. On his return from
England he expects 10 open the mine.

Queer Exhibition of it in the High

A row of paupers' houses, very neat

Aharacle, Mr.. Rudd of Ardnamurchan
having advanced a considerable sum
for building purposes to the parish

days ago H. Macpherson, inspector of
poor, visited Aharacle in order to SUI
perintend the removal of the ten sell

which were in wretched state of dis
repair, yet each of them resolutely and
peremptorily refused to "f1it." Ia
vain did the inspector dilate on the in
creased comfort and conveniences to
be enjoyed in the new dwellings. The
aged danes were invincibly proof

of compulsion and sheriff's warrants

MRS. NATION GETS IN ONE BUT is
NOT HURT.
JOINT MEN BATTLE HER
Get Ready for the Raid and Readily
Disarm the Women Crusaders
Leading Spirit Must Answer for
Disturbing the Peace-Big Mob En-

Topeka, Feb. 5.-Yesterday Mrs.
Carrie Nation met her first defeat in
her saloon smashing career. Later
at the police station she laughingly de-
clared it was by no means her Water
loo and she would soon again be at her
chosen work. With six women. each
armed with Ratchet, she started out
at 8 o'clock to wreck a restaurant in
East Sixth street that dispensed
liquors. Before she could WELD the
Ratchet Mrs. Nation was disarmed,
and free-for-all struggle between the
restaurant people and the wreckers
was begun. Great excitement pre-
vailed for a time. during which num-
berous eyes were blackened and many
noses bruised. Mrs. Nation, herself
unable to accomplish anything, shout
ed orders to her followers to re-begin
the onslaught, but the Ratchet brigade
became stampeded and not another
hand was raised against the obnoxious
restaurant. Mrs. Nation was led away
to the station on the charge of disturb
ing the peace followed by a jeering
crowd Mrs. Nations deter
mination to make the raid
came very suddenly. A group of wo-
men had gathered in the United Pres
byterian church to plan for a raid
tomorrow when Mrs Nation i'm
pulsively announced her decision to
go out Immediately to show how she
could smash joints. Surrounded by
half a dozen women, all armed with
hatchets, Mrs. Nation led the way
down Kansas avenue, followed by
thousands of people shouting like a
mob. When the objective restaurant
was reached it was prepared for the
attack. The Ratchet was jerked from
Mrs. Nations hand by strong man
and the women were forced back. A
fierce fight followed between the
restaurant men and Mrs. Nations de-
tenders. For a quarter of an hour
they struggled in the street, while the
mob yelled encouragingly to Mrs.
Nation. The police unable to quell
the battle finally arrested Mrs. Nation
and took her to jail. The crowd fol
lowed and the restaurant was lett
unframed Mrs. Nation was not in
jured. At the police station Mrs. Ma
ton was formally charged with dis
turbing the peace and released on her
own recognizance, with instructions
to report for trial today.

GOSSIP OF THE
LEGISLATURE
MILWAUKEE COUNTY AFTER THE
EXTRA CONGRESSMAN.
sa.rF
BoB's SECOND MESSAGE
Will Advise the Reorganization Of
Various Departments in the Capitol
initiative and Referendum Bill
Being Prepared and Has Very
Strong Backing.

An impressio nprevails with a large
number of legislators that Milwaukee
county will be successful in it's efforts
to secure the extra congressman
which Wisconsin is to have as result
of the increased membership OF the
house of Representatives.
Senator Arson and others Of the Mil
waukee contingent contend that if the
cream city continues to grow at the
present rate, Milwaukee county will
have in four years a population that
will entitle it to two representatives
in congress and they ask that the pres
ent apportionment be made upon that
basis. And though the country mem.
bers do not approve of this plan OF
mortgaging the future, they think
they see indications that the Milwau-
kee members will succeed. 1t is prob
able, however, that there will be a
contest on this point that may cause
considerable feeling before it is
settled.
Governors Second Message.
Governor La Toilette is preparing a
second message to the legislature
which will be read sometime during
the next two weeks. According to Mr..
La Follette's first message this
supplementary paper will suggest some
changes in the organization OF
various departments in the capitol,
and the employees about the building
are on the mi vivp lest in the ShakA-un
which follows they may not retain
their positions. Information as to
what the message will contain is very
hard to obtain as no one in the exc
cutive office will talk of it, but it is
believed that the governor will cite a
few instances where abuses have crept
into the various departments as
the employment of more help than IS
necessary, and the placing Of men up
on the pay roll who never frequent the
capitol save on pay days and who
boast of the fact that they do not earn
their money.
Initiative and Referendum.
A bill is being prepared by one or
the prominent attorneys of the state
which provides for the application Of
the initiative and referendum prin-
ciples in city and county elections.
The bill it is said is being backed by
some very solid and substantial men
and will probably pass. It is the initi-
alive and referendum idea but in a
very modified form.
