Washington Esn. 9.-The River anu Harbor
bill with its S6oOo0.0o0 appropriation for the
Improvement of navigable waters started its
legisla tive voyage to-day with every prospect OF
fair sailing until it reaches the tenpestuous in
fuences which promise to affect it in the Senate
The House devoted the entire day in Committee
of the Whole to general debate the provi-
sions Of the bill, after futile attempt had been
made to limit the speechnaking to three hours.
in view of the we'll grounded belief that no elo-
quence would be apt to change any of its items.
which had been carefully adjusted to IN
sure the support of a substantial majority of
the members
An explanation of the bill which carried con-
viction on the disposition Of sectional impair
tiality and first regard to the Importance of
commercial centres which actuated the commit
tee in preparing the schedules given by
Chairman Burton, which apparently left moth
ing further to be said on the subject but 1t was
quickly made evident that the decision reached
by the committee that the reclamation of arid
lands could not be included in an act for the
improvement of rivers and harbors'' was likely
to make it's passage through Congress an
dertaking of exceedingly doubtful outcome.
The threat made by Senator Warren and other
Western Senators in the closing hours of Con-
gress nearly two years ago, when the last River
and Harbor bill trembling in the balance
brought TO the recollection of members as
soon as the debate began. The declaration was
recorded at that time that never again would
the biennial River and Harbor bill be enacted
without ample provision for irrigation reser
voiTs and canals in the West. Several members
led by Mr. Mondell. of Wyoming; Mr.. Bell, of
Colorado and Mr.. Cushman, Of Washington
early in the debate showed that this threat was
not TO be forgotten, especially if the bill could
be delayed in its progress until other matters
were pressing for consideration at the close of
the session. 1t is the general impression in the
House that voting on amendments to the bill
may be finished on Friday.

INTERNATIONAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL.

The Solicitor General say that looking at
IL from the point of view of the decision. the
Chief Justice was correct, because the United
States throughout which Congress may exercise
the taxing power for Federal purposes includes
all territories subject TO the dominion of the
United States Now 1 say that is the interna-
tional sense But I say the constitutional sense
primary source of sovereign power was the peo-
pie Of the thirteen original States. These men
believed they were forming Government which
would endure for ages, and would dominate
continent and probably territory outside The
treaty of alliance which Benjamin Franklin con-
If the United States should think fit TO at
tempt a reduction Of British power remaining
in the northern parts Of America, or the islands

we can see how broad was the vision of the
stalwart men OF that day

1t was first discovered in the box fact
DRY, after it had gained considerable
Roadway. The first alarm was sent in
at 6 p. M, and soon ali the available
firemen in the city were on the scene,
but it was evident that it would be
impossible to save the main building,
in which the fire originated. The fire
burned ~fiercely for three hours, dur
ing which time the firemen worked to
prevent it's spreading to other build
ings and at the end of that time was
under control, but the main building

by fire in September, 1899, entalling a
loss of $3.50, 90. The building was re-
huilt within three months thereafter,
but the company did not resume opera
tions, except in the manufacture of
butterine. This department. employed
rs men. All Of the Strengthening Of
cattle. sheep and hogs has been car
ried on at the company's plant at
Wichita, Kans. It is said the Dold
company propose to build a new plant
in Armordale, which site is handy to
the stock yards and the properties
wherelthe fire occurred are not to be
rebuilt now.
MI. Dold refused to make a state
ment of the loss sustained, but he said
he valued all Of the buildings at half
a million dollars and that they were
not fully insured.

odd Dec,.ion In hunting su,,.

A recent suit before ii Justice Of the
peace at New London. Wis.,. involved
the question Of ownership between
two hunters of bear meat. One of the
hunters discovered the bear In It's den
and was trailing it when another hunt
er shot the bear and claimed the own
ership. Neither Of the hunters was
aware of the others presence in the
woods before the bear was shot. The
second hunter sold the meat to a meat
dealer. and thereupon the first hunter
began a replevin suit against the deal
er. The case was tried before a Jury,
and the verdict was that the carcass
was the legal property Of the man
who first discovered the bear and not
Of the man who Killed II.

The recent revival of Catholic senti-

advantage of by pontifical statesmen
to form a union of the Catholic coun-
tries Of the new world based on com

to have political significance also. A
symbol Of this union is about to be

OMITTED HIS PENANCE.
Calamities Followed When Reyes
Didn't Crawl Around His Room.

Didn't Crawl Around His Room.
For five years Sylvester Keyes. u
lumber dealer of Leon. O.. has made a
practice OF going once around his bed
room on his knees every night before
going to bed. He imposed this penance
upon himself. believing that it was for
his spiritual good.
Mr.. Keyes has been visiting relatives
north of his village. and being very
tired the other night he omitted the
custom for once. He was restless all
night and disturbed in mind because
of his neglect.
In the morning his troubles began.
Going down stairs to breakfast he
stepped on a tack and wounded his
foot. While eating breakfast he W.
turned the coffee urn and scalded both
legs.
In the forenoon he helped one of the
men chop some tirewood. and a stick
flew up and struck him on the head.
He started for the house. but slipped
on the ice and fell. bruising his face
and disco!oriis n eye.
Going up the steps into the house a
loose cave trough fell and struck him
on the shoulder. Once inside. Mr.. keyes
had his various wounds dressed and
started for his room but by mistake,
owing to the bandaging of his injured
| eye, he opened the door leading to the
| cellar instead of the one going up
stairs, next to it, and fell down the
steps.
With the help OF the family the visit
or finally managed to reach his room,
where he Went to bed to keep out OF
the way of more accidents.
Mr.. Reyes believes the misfOrtunes
of the day were due to his nervous
state. resulting from worry over not
performing his usual evening penance
