SHIPPING HORSES TO THE PHILIPPINES.

In addition to the numerous trans
port ships of the United States govern
ment, there are now in service about
a dozen steamers known as animal
Ships" on which the horses and mules
which go to make up some of the prin-
cipal divisions of the army, are trans
ported. So careful has the shipping Of
these animals been that with but one
exception all the vessels which left
either San Francfsco or Seattle have
arrived in the tropics or in the arctic
regions with their dumb passengers in
excellent condition.
Each Of the American animal ships"
stalls, each equipped with moveable
metallic manger, which stretches
across the front of the stalls, with
bar below to keep the horses in place.
The floor is covered with stout cleats.
so as to give the horses a foothold
whenever the vessel lurches. For each
"horse ship" that sails the government
allows a quartermaster captain, who Is
marian, with three skilled assistants,
and from 20 to IS attendants, who are
| mostly cavalry or artillery men, be-
sides the captain and the crew Of the
vessel
The loading of the horses on the
| transports is done in the gentlest man.
ner Any animal that will not go on
the gang-plank freely, is led aside, and
after several more attempts, at inter-
walls, generally boards willingly.
The following rules for the care Of
the stock are followed: a. m, water
stock; $50, feed bran mash (wet bran),
three and one-half pounds to each an
imal; they are then left until O'clock
when the surgeon makes the rounds Of
the entire ship, looking for those that
have not eaten and which are doubtless
i'll; proper medicines are then admin
istered to the afflicted; $50, clean
stalls; portions Of the partition Of the
stalls where the animals have chafed
themselves during the night are COW
cred with padding of grain sacks; in
some instances the horses are too
frightened to move, and have to be lit
orally carried out by four attendants;
| 10 O'clock inspection by the captain,
| the ships doctor and veterinarian, to
ascertain If the ship be in a sanitary
condition. From 10 until o'clock the
attendants look after the stalls, re-
pairing the cleats that have been kick
ed out during the night on lurch Of
the ship, and seeing that all the halt
ers are tied fast; p. m, the animals
are again watered, and from 4.30 to 7
| they are fed about seven pounds of
hay, half the ration regularly allowed
by the government. At 7.30 the entire
stable Is disinfected. The stalls are
we'll swept out and the flooring Is
sprinkled with chloride-naphtholin and
the managers and other utensils are
cleansed with antiseptics. The disin-
fection takes until 9 o'clock, when the
detail of men for night watch Is as
signed to various sections to see that
the animals are kept tied and to re-
port at once to the veterinary any that
appear to be sick. These are marked
by a piece of red flannel tied to the
halter to distinguish them.

association. J. K. Henry, Esq, pre-
sided, and J. w. Means, Esq, was sec
retary. It was resolved to organize
the Chester County Fair association
after securing a charter-with a capi-
tai stock of $1,000, divided into 100
shares, Of the par value of $40 each.
For the purpose of securing a charter,
the following corporators were ap-
pointed: T. j. Cunningham, R. A. Love,
JnO. Frazer w. w. Brice, T. j. Mar
tin and ]. II. McDill. The meeting was
then merged into another to organize
the Chester Athletic association. the
same chairman and secretary serving.
1t was determined that the capital
stock should be $500 in shares of $1OO
each. The following corporators were
appointed: T. ]. Martin, S. E. McFad-
den, A. l.. CASTOR, Jno. Frazer and l..
d. Chlds. 1t is the purpose of this
latter organization to own the fair
grounds, enclose them with a high,
close fence, erect a grand stand, and
rent to the Fair association one week
each year for $1OO as long as fairs are
held. The Fair association is to erect
its own stalls and any other buildings
it may need or desire. which are to be-
long to the owners of the land if fairs
are discontinued. Between fairs the
owners of the property will make what
they can out of baseball games, bicycle
races and the like. A good number of
the shares in each of the proposed
corporations were subscribed for at
the meeting, and more would have been
taken, but for a desire to have the
stock divided among a large number of
shareholders. For the Fair associa-
tiun a larger capital was at first
thought of, but after discussion it was

PROGRESS OF NEW RATE PLAN
The Hartman Community -Of-Inter-
est Project Taking shape

CHICAGO. June 24.-Fair progress is be-
ing made in the movement to establish
method of managing traffic over the
Western, Northwestern, and Southwestern
railroads by a traffic committee appointed
by the financial leaders in the ''communi-
ty of interests" The committee IS to es-
tablish offices in this city next month. and
proposes to try and show the leading
holders of railway shares what can be
done by placing the management of most
of the roads in a few hands. The move
is considered a good one and the most
business-like that has ever been proposed
Third Vice President ]. c. Stubbs of the
Southern Pacific. who is also traffic man
ager of the traffic of all Hartman lines
west of the Missouri River, was here last
week and talked freely of his plans.
Among the things he said were: Il am
to be placed in entire charge of the traf-
fic of the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific,
Oregon Railway and Navigation, and the
Oregon Short Line. l am to report to the
board OF directors of the several cenpa-
MES, which means that am TO report dl-
rectly to Mr.. Hartman.
Under the arrangement, each company
has its board of directors and eacn poaru
of directors has its executive committee,
presided over by chairman. The Doard
of directors when in session IS supreme
Otherwise the traffic managers are In
charge and they are subserVlent TO MT.
Hartman, who is chairman OF the exc
cutive committee of the four roads. Ihls
places the rate-making power OF these
lines in the hands OF one man. II gives
him authority that no other man has ever
possessed over such a wide territory as
that covered by the Southern and Union
Pacific, as it extends from the gulf on
the south to the Canadian border on the
north and stretches from the Missouri
River to the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. StubbS, who is to reside here IN
stead of San Francisco, says: 1T is an
experiment on the part of Mr.. Hartman
1t is hoped to produce economic manage
ment in traffic affairs with the result of
! larger profits" 1t remains TO be seen
whether it is a success. All the strong
est traffic arrangements that traffic bu-
reaus have ever been able to make East
| traffic of a combination of roads in har-
mony for any length of time. Perhaps
| Mr.. Hartman, with his vast interests
| in so many roads, will accomplish 1t,
I especially as Mr.. StubbS Is 10 work in a
| territory where most of the rate disturb
/ ances have arisen for some years.
To work in harmony with Mr. Stubbs
J there viii be Paul Morton, Of the Sante
/ Fe, who is in charge of the traffic on that
| line, and Darius Miller, Vice President oi
! the Great Northern, who will have charge
| ern Pacific and the Burlington. Ii is alse
anticipated that traffic manager for tht
| Gould lines Will also be appointed. Ihis
| will bring the fixing and maintenance
| of rates into the hands of q few men, anc
| if there is ever to be absolute permanen
! cy of rates. it is likely to occur after then
| operations get well under way.

THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN.
Mr. Justice Brewer's Address mt the
wesleyan Commencement.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. June 24.-The
speaker this morning at the commence
ment exercises of Wesleyan University
was Mr.. Justice Brewer. of the United
States Supreme Court He spoke on the
duties the citizen owes to the Republic.
In the course of his remarks he said
that each Individual citizen in the Repub-
lie owes to it the duty of high personal
character Character was a personal
matter, and making and keeping it high
and noble was one of the duties of the
Individual to the nation. Personal moral
ity was part OF the nations morality 1t
was binding on all citizens at all times
and at all places. Under no conditions
was the citizen released from the duty
of keeping his character above reproach.
Righteousness was the shining light CT
life. IT was the thing which separates
the man from the brute, the link which
binds the finite to the divine The in
dividuality of the separate lives of the
nation created the character of the whole.
The obligation of good personal character
rested on each and all No man could
excuse himself from duty to the State on
the plea that he is himself only one of
a great multitude.
I'VE are proud, and justly proud Of our
nations character" he continued. I'VE
are proud of it's increase in popula-
tion and wealth, yet we rejoice more over
those things which 1t has done to uphold
high ideals, to aid citizens against oppres-
sion and wrong and to aid another nation
to accomplish acts of lofty character. The
! accumulated products of the new conti-
nent we poured forth into the world.
Japan felt the touch of activity and takes
stand as n grand nation. China turns
with abundant faith to this nation
whether we wish. it or not Many of our
citizens are troubled because of the re-
suits of the Spanish war. A solemn sense
of responsibility fills the American peo-
| plc. 1t is a secondary matter what Con-
! gress does. Tor the nation Will move with
/ or without constitutional amendment
! along the highway of life"

EXPENSES OF THE CENSUS.
The Director Not Authorized to Pay
for Expert Knowledge.

The Director of the Census recently ad-
dressed communication to the Comp
troller of the Treasury, asking his opin-
ion as to whether the former is author
lied to incur certain expenses in connec-
ton with the census. In his letter, Mr.
Merriam said:
In preparing the volumes Of census
reports as required by law il is necessary
for Interpretation text to accompany the
tables of figures. In a number of sub
iects special familiarity with the branch
of knowledge to which the figures relate
is required to write this text, and In some
of these the Census Office has not ths
requisite expert knowledge on its own
staff, and cannot secure it through max
ing appointments. In such cases desire
to enlist the cooperation of experts.
Without that assistance the officer is
likely to interpret his own figures made
quately or enormously.
"The simplest method, following the
precedent established in the Geological
Survey and other branches of the Gov
ernment service, is rhe purchase of manu-
script Such manuscript is an article of
merchandise necessary for the proper per-
formance of the duties imposed upon me
by Congress. I have the honor to ask if
1 have authority to procure such manu-
script and pay for it at the usual rate Of
! compensation"
Robert J. Tracewell, in deciding that the
Director of the Census is not authorized
to incur the expenditure, says:
Ordinarily your discretion in the mat
ter would not be questioned, but in this
case, Congress having specifically named
| the persons authorized to collect the in
| formation required in the act and pre-
| scribed how they shall be appointed and
| paid and having also specifically provid-
| ed for statisticians who shall be per-
| sons of known and tried experience in

MR.. SWANSON COMES TO TOWN.
He Appears rs Happy ns IL He Had
Won the Virginia Fight.

Representative Claude A Swanson OF
Virginia arrived here yesterday, and is
at the Riggs House, to remain several
days Mr.. Swanson looked the picture
of health. No one would have thought
that he had just come out second best in
a most exciting contest for the selection
of delegates to State convention to nom-
mate a candidate for Governor of the
Commonwealth. He seemed as jubilaTt
and satisfied as though his fight had been
crowned with success.
In his Congressional district, in which
his successful rival. Attorney General
Montague, resides. out of 129 delegates
elected, 1l3 were pledged to Swanson. This
in itself. Mr.. Swanson's friends say, was
compensation for defeat. Mr.. Swanson
said last evening that quite little feel
ing had been e@lgendered during the con-
test, but that it would all disappear be-
fore the campaign opened.
When asked who would be nominated
for Lieutenant Governor. he said the
word had been given out that Willard
would be the successful candidate, al
though it was by no means certain that
the goods could be delivered.
He would attend the State convention
he said. and after the nominations had
been made he would take vacation.
Mr.. Swanson said his further plans haC
not been perfected. He expects to make
several speeches during the campaign
which would not open until the latter
part of September. The Republicans. ht
said, would nominate their hest men, anC
make a stiff fight, but the Democrats
would elect their ticket as usual. Mr.
Swanson declined to discuss national pol
itics or give an opinion on what the Re
publicans would do in the next Congress

said that every precaution is being taken
to avoid spreading the disease. One death
occurred on the vessel before she reached
Honolulu and five cases before San Diego

As all the deaths occurred on different
parts of the ship alarm was felt. Every
one on the ship was mustered and their
temperature and general condition taken
and everything possible done to disinfect-
Dead rats were found on the ship before
the cook was taken sick June 6. He was
the first and died June 8 without glandu-
lar sweliings. The ship arrived at Homo
lulu June IL and sailed June 13. on the

GUNS FOR BATTLEsHIPs.
The BOARD on Naval Construction
Making an Investigation.

The members of the Naval Board on
Construction visited the Washington
Navy Yard yesterday to ascertain the
comparative weights of S-inch, 7-inch, and
6-iuch rifles. This information is desired
to assist the board in its preparation of
plans for two battleships and two armor-
ed cruisers, to be presented to Congress
in December for its consideration.
Several plans defining the character and
,iisposition of the batteries on the battle
ships are before the board. One of these
calls for the most powerful main battery
ever proposed for an American warship,
embracing four l2-inch and sixteen S-inch
guns. The design provides for two super
posed turrets, one fore and the ether
aft, each containing two twelves and two
eights. and six ordinary turrets, three to
the broadside. each containing two eigats.
The superposed turret question is again
being fought over and despite the under
statding that turrets of that character
had been adopted by the navy as a per-
manent type, it is likely that the board
viii split on it's conclusions on that sub
iect Whether the majority is Tor or
against the further use of the super
posed type has not been definitely deter
mined Two of the five members are said
to be heartily in favor of superposed tur-
rets for the new hattleships. Whichever
way the board decides. tine majority is

There will be plenty to keep us busy

that will be taken up and passed by the
House will be the River and Harbor bill
that failed last session In my opinion
the River and Rarbor bill will be reported
and passed by the House before the holi-

'iThe Ship Subsidy bill is another i'm
portant measure that will be passed early
in the session, and it will be followed by
the Nicaragua Cana. bill
THE Babcock bill, If it Is reintroduced,
will receive no consideration whatever
IL would be impossible to take up and
revise any one schedule of the Dingley
tariff act without opening up the entire
subject of the tariff, and that 1 believe
the party will not consent to do.
IF there is any general sentiment Tor
tariff revision the question will be con-
sidered in caucus and not left to the dis
cretion of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. 1 think it is a safe proposition 70
say that the tariff will not be touched
next session. The Pennsylvania delega-
tion, I know, is against any tariff agita-
ton"
