might hope to do much; without him
ours was likely to prove a dangerous
and an evil plight.

NEW FOOD FOR CATTLE.
Packer Making an Experiment With
Cassava Root.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-Plans that were
first taken into consideration about year
ago have been developed in the last few
months to the point where some of the
great packing establishments in Chicago
have begun experiments on what may
prove a revolution of the cattle industry
of the country, says the Inter Ocean. The
project involves the settlement Of several
hundred thousand acres Of what is at pres
ent nearly valueless land in northern and
northwestern Florida and southern Ala
bama, the cultivation on a large scale of
the cassava root and its use in feeding
cattle and hogs. If the plan fully develops
the southern states will become the center
of the cattle raising industry.
1t is stated that arrangements are being
made for the accommodation of a consider
able number of cattle to be shipped from
here to northern Florida, where they will
be fed on cassava root. The results of the
fattenlng process will be compared with
similar work in the west, regarding which
the conditions and cost are already definite
ly known. The result obtained will deter
mine the future Of the cassava experiment.

WILLING TO YIELD
HOUSE CONFEREES WANT CANAL
LEG1sLATToN.
Two Wou ldAccept Senate Fan Rather
Than Have Isthmian Pro-
ject Fail.4

Senator Morgan and Representative Hep
burn, representing the Senate and House
conferees on the evisthmian canal bill, were
together today to arrange the prelimi-
naries for the meeting of the conferees.
Their associates were not called in dur
ing the early hours Of the day, but were
asked to hold themselves in readiness for
an early meeting.
Meantime the friends Of the respective
projects were active in making plans
Although no formal meeting of the House
conferees was held, informal exchanges
showed their general attitude They are
first Of all for a canal and while favorable
to the Nicaragua route, they will not in
sist upon that route to the extent Of de-
feating all legislation. AS soon as 1t be-
comes evident that the senate will not yield
the Spooner amendment will be accepted as
the best solution possible. There is no
doubt this Is the position OF two out of
three House conferees and is understood
to be shared by all of them. This insures
an agreement in conference without much
delay, even if the House does not relieve
the conferees Of their responsibilities by
adopting motion to concur with the SEN
ate which, there Is good reason to believe.

gether and the result is mass OF data
respecting the islands that touch upon al
most every feature, area, geographical

THE UNION STATION.
Chairman Babcock Talks of House
BilPs Advantages.

Chairman Rabcock called on the District
Commissioners this morning for consul
tation regarding the union station bill The
Engineer Commissioner is rushing the work
on the draft of the bill embodying the pro-
posed site for the station selected by
the House committee at its meeting Thurs
day.
In discussing the matter with the Com
mfssioners, Mr.. Babcock was informed that
the blocks bounded by North Capitol street
on the west, 1St street east on the east, G
street on the north and the Capitol grounds
on the south can be acquired for $4,000.
If these two blocks were acquired by the
District and cleared and laid out as park
1T would make park approach to the new
station connected directly with the Capt. oil
grounds
This would make much more desirable
plaza" remarked Mr.. Babcock to a Star
man after the conference, land it has the
advantage of costing only $4,000, as COM
pared with 81, 100000, which the plaza on
Massachusetts avenue would cost. Besides
this, 1t obviates the necessity of DANA ging
any private property, as the grade of no
street will have to be changed If this site
Is selected.
Il am also informed that the estimate Of
damages which will have to. be paid on ac-
count of the change of grade of MaSsa chu-
setts avenue under the Senate plan amounts
to but $5OO, 600. The Engineer Commissioner
believes that these damages Will be much
greater, and IN addition will entail an end
less amount of litigation, and in the end
foot up to double the amount now esti-
mated.
so far as the landscape and architectural
effect is concerned, the House plan, partic-
ularly if the blocks in question are ac-
quired, presents a much more attractive as
well as economical plan"
AS soon as the bill is redrafted Mr.. Bah
cock will call meeting of his committee
that action may be taken at once on the
bill.
