Carolina. 1t provided for the intro
duction, free of duty. of goods intend
ed to be used as exhibits at the St.
Louis exposition and was passed by
unanimous consent.
On Tuesday the first business in both
house and senate was the reception Of
the presidents message, the reading Of
which occupied about two hours and a
quarter. Contrary to custom Mr..
Roosevelt had caused his message to
be set up and printed, instead of sub.
mitting it in manuscript as has been
the custom in the past. The formal
copies were printed on fine white pap
er and bound in morocco covered
boards. AS soon as they had been for
mally presented paper covered copies
were presented to the individual mem
bers.
The message has been received with
the utmost commentator on all sides.
Some there are, of course, who are dis
appointed that Mr.. Roosevelt should
have handled some of the subjects
with which he had to deal with such
conservatism; who had hoped that he
might demonstrate certain radical
views which would make it impossible
for his party to support him. but they
are in such minority that their views
are lost in the general admiration the
message has elected.
The decision which the supreme
court rendered. on Monday, that the
Philippine Islands are an integral part
of the United States has caused no
little excitement When it is appre-
ciated that this means absolute free
trade between the islands and the
United States until such time as con-
gress shall have enacted a new law and
that the results of the decision are re-
troactive and will, for instance, neces.
state the refunding of 81 ,492 900 duty
which has been collected on sugar
alone, some idea of the Importance of
the decision will be gained.

Mr.. r. Gray who lives near Armenia,
Duchess county, New York, says:
"Chamberlain's, Cough Remedy is the
best medicine have ever used. 1t is
fine children's remedy for Group and
never fails to cure" When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough has de-
veloped it will prevent the attack.
This should be borne in mind and a
bottle of the cough remedy kept at
hand ready for instant use as soon as
these symptoms appear. For sale by

A NEW BREED OF CATTLE.

Charles Goodnight, formerly of Col
OradO, but now of the Texas Panhandle,
Is working with view to evolving
new breed of cattle that will be proof
against, blackleg and splenic fever.
To this end he has produced a mixture
Of buffalo and cattle that will repro
duce itself. Mr.. Goodnight says:
"Besides their great weight and the
extra quality of meat they are most
probably immune from blackleg; they
never eat loco; they never lie with
their backs down-hill. which causes
much loss in weak cattle; they do not
go into bog holes; they have the great
est lungs of any animal on earth and
they put on more flesh for what they
eat than any other animals. ."-Ex-
change.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

History has been made very rapidly
in Washington in the last week. On
Saturday the president gave the cOun-
try an edifying example Of his deter
minatiOn to secure absolutely honest
and disinterested administration Of
the offices which 1t is his privilege and
duty to fill. In appointing Thomas B.
Ferguson, governor OF Oklahoma, he
gave his reasons for refusing to reap
point Governor jenkins in terms which
cannot but make far better service
throughout the country. Governor
jenkins. whose duty it was to award to
some person or corporation contract
for the care of the insane of the terri
tory has, by his own admission, accept
ed from the Oklahoma Sanitarium
Company, to whom he had assigned
the contract, block of stock with a
face value of $4,000. Commenting on
his action Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
disclosed ''such an entire lack of ap-
probation of the high tiduciary ma
ture of the duties of his Office as to un-
fit him for their further discharge"
On Saturday afternoon the republic
can members of the house of represen-
tatives held caucus which demon
strated the subordination of individual
interest to the party good and unity
OF party purpose which, while uut un-
usual, must prove source of gratiti-
cation to republicans throughout the
country.
In pitiable contrast were the pro-
ceedings of the democratic caucus,
which selected Mr.. Richardson Of
Tennessee as the party leader, and
which favored such variety of con-
ticting interests and policies and ad-
hered to each so tenaciously that the
only method of avoiding open rupture
was The reference of all resolutions to
committee which, in all probability,
will never report.
On Monday morning both senate and
house convened amid scenes of excep-
tional brilliancy. Senator Frye, presi-
dent of the senate, in the absence of a
vice president, called that body to ord
er but almost immediate adjournment
was taken out Of respect to the mem
ory of Senator Kyle.
The house was called to order by
Mr.. Alexander Mcdowell, of Pennsyl-
vania, who had been renominated and
was later elected clerk. Among the
notable figures on the floor were the
swarthy representative from Hawaii,
Mr.. Wilcox, Mr.. Dagatu, delegate
from Porto Rico. and Justice Mckenna
of the supreme court, who, however,
left as soon as the house was called to
order. As soon as the invocation of
the chaplain, Rev. Henry Couden, was
completed the house proceeded to elect
it's officers. General Henderson was.
of course, elected speaker, Mr.. Nc
Dowell, clerk, Henry A. Casson, of
Wisconsin, sergeant-at-arms, etc.
General Bingham, ''the father of the
house," administered the oath to
Speaker Henderson and he in turn
swore in the other members. After a
little fencing by the democrats the
Reed rules were adopted, seats ballot
ed for and the house adjourned.
BY curious coincidence the first
bill passed by the house was introduced
by democrat, Mr.. Elliot, of South
