The 7-year-old son of Ira Bolton,

The 7-year-old son of Ira Bolton, living near Bolton, Tenn, shot and killed his fve-year-old brother be- cause the latter would not give him tomato, The elder boy is said to have cried: of you don't give me that tomato I will shoot you" He pointed a 22-calibre target gun at the fve-year-old, and it discharged, killing the boy instantly.
 The government is said to be un- able to secure a sufficient number of recruits for the navy. Construc- tion of war vessels authorized by the last congress will create a demand for about 5000 additional men, and 1t is estimated that within a few years there will be need for 40,000 enlisted men in the navy, an in- crease of 15,000 over the number now allowed. Congress will be ask ed to authorize this increase, from time to time, but the demand is ur- gent now for recruits that will bring the force up to the 25,500 en- listed men that are now authorized and needed in the service. It is pro posed, in this emergency, to open recruiting stations in Texas, Mis- souri, Alabama, Mississippi and probably other states in the south and west.
 Mir. and Mrs. John Shandrow, a wealthy but childless couple living near South Haven, Mich, recently adopted a whole orphan asylum.

The Minneap. oils institution is a small one, an6 the management promptly forward ed the visible supply of children over three years of age-no lesi than twenty-two boys and girls The couple became so attached tc the homeless children they conclud ed to legally adopt all of them, who will not only have a comfortable home during the lifetime of theil benefactors, but will be left a for tune each at their death.

Prince Henry of Germany Studying
~ UD ON America.
A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Admiral Prince Henry OF Prussia is main
tanning unusual privacy at the Schloss and
spending much Of his time reading about
the United States. He declines as many in
vitations as he can, his only engagement
before his departure for Kiel being that to
attend the dinner in his honor to be given
January 81 by Count Won Buelow, the i'm
perial chancellor. -
Prince Henry Is using every opportunity
to meet well-informed Americans and to
talk with them concerning the United
States. An American to whom the prince
mas granted an audience today describes
Prince Henry as pleasant hammered.
Il was surprised to see how thoroughly
and Systematically the emperors brother
is informing himself about America" said
this American. "He looks forward to his
trip with the keenest anticipation of en-
1oyment and instruction. I find him to be
less interested in professions and external
displays than in the men he expects to
meet. He says he wants to meet American
men, to talk with them AMI learn to under
stand America. Prince Henry added, in a
tone of enthusiasm, Tt has been the dream
of my life to visit the United States, and
this trip. comes now like a gift from
heaven"
The North German Lloyd steamer Kron-
priz Wilhelm, which will carry Prince
Henry to the United States, is being fitted
out in the kaiser dock at Bremerhaven.
The liners machinery has been gone over
with unusual care. The apartments set
aside for the use of Prince Henry consist
of saloon bed room and bath room on the
promenade deck. Admiral Won Tirpitz, the
German secretary for the navy; Vice Ad-
mtral Seckendorff and Adjutant General
Won Plessen who will accompany the
prince, will occupy the other three luxurious
suites of rooms. This arrangement is as
sumed to indicate that Prince Henry will
take his meals in the public dining room,
as he has done upon previous voyages,
when he showed himself to be a compan-
ionable traveller and fond Of the smoking
room.
The officers of the Kronprinz Wilhelm
believe that their vessel will make the dock
at New York on the morning Of Febru-

ARRAlGNS The MAJORITY
SENATOR rILLMAN DENouNCEs
THEIR PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Charges Them with Being the "ReaI
Murderers of Our Troops In the
Islands-The Seditton Laws.

A. the conclusion OF Mr.. TiIlman's speech
In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr.. Nor
gan took the floor ia order that he might
proceed at 2 O'Clock today with his pro-
posed discussion OF an amendment which
he has offered to the pending Philippine
bill.
Mr. Tillman continued to discuss the part
South Carolina took in revolutionary his
tory. with frequent comparisons between
revolutionary and present Philippine CON
oitions. throughout the afternoon.
Practice of ConquerInE Armies.
Mr.. Tillman declared 1t was the history
OF all conquering armies when prosecuting
such a struggle as the British pressed
against the revolutionary colonists and
which is now being carried on by the Brit
ish in South Africa that they committed
cruelties and trampled upon all the obli-
cations OF humanity.
And / would ask the majority in this
chamber he said. If In trying to force
the FiIipinos to accept our government
without a promise they are not inviting
the evaporation of the natives and a spirit
of perpetual insurrection."
The effort TO treat the Filipinos "as chat
tels-as CATTLE" he declared, was damn
able" and he charged the majority side
with being the real murderers of our
troops in the Philippines"
But" he asserted, shaking his finger at
the republican side, If We can gag you and
force down your throats a scintila or small
dose of the principles which actuated the
men of Massachusetts in 1T16 we will have
done our duty to the country and to hu-
manity.'
The Sedition Laws I'm the Philippines.
Commenting upon the sedition laws pro-
mulgated by the Philippine commission. Mr..
Tillman expressed doubt whether he would
be allowed to go at large in the Philip
pines. IL those laws were enforced. In
this connection. he inquired OF Mr.. Hoar
whether the Springfield Republican. which.
he said, was opposed to the republican i'm
perialistic policy" would. under those laws.

ippines.

| 1 think 1t is an abominable order"
I'm the absence of anything specific" Mr.
Tillman replied, I'VE will take that end
OF it."
In conclusion. Mr. Tillman said the pend
| ing Philippine tariff bill, as proposition to
erect a tariff wall between the United
| States and another part of the domestic
territory, was a departure from every prin-
| ciple that had brought this country to the
pinnacle of greatness and made 1t the Gym
osure of the eyes of the world as the land
of the free and the home of the brave

MAY LEAD TO TARIFF WAR.
Amendment to Bill Adopted by the
German RefchataK.

German RefchstaK.
A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
The government was defeated today In the
tariff committee of the reichstag by If
teen votes to ten on the amendment Of
Herr Camp Conservative, requiring the
production Of certificates of origin of all
goods subject to duties, differing in amount
according to the country where they are
manufactured. Failing the production Of
certificates Of origin, the duty shall be i'm
posed, except In cases where no doubt ex-
lists that the goods were made in a coun-
try entitled to lower rates. in which case
certificates may be dispensed with.
The committee voted on this amend
ment Immediately after Count Posadows-
ky-Wehner. the imperial secretary of state
for the interior. speaking for the govern
ment, had said: The federated govern
ment cannot accept any provision making
certificates of origin an ordinary require
ment. regret that the committee is de-
voting so much time to discussing amend
ments that cannot become law"
The committee later adopted the first SEQ
tion of paragraph 8. which is as follows:
"Dutiable goods from any country treat
ing German ships and German goods less
favorably than 1t treats those of other
states may be subjected, besides the reg
ular duty. to double rates or the full value
of the goods Goods not subject to duty
can be taxed half their value"
Count Won Schwerin-Loewitz. conserva-
tive, offered an amendment empowering
the government to treat the goods i'm
ported from foreign countries with the
same duties and the same customs regu-
lations that such countries apply to Ger
man goods in so far as the treaties would
permit of such action.
Herr Beumer said that German duties.
especially against the United States, were
too low.
Baron Heyl Zu Herrnsheim. liberal. COM
planned of the heavy trade balance against
Germany in the American trade He said
that German exports to the United States
had remained stationary since 1898. while
Germany's imports from that country had
increased from 402, ,OO0, 900 marks to Oo3-
900. 600 marks.
He submitted comparative tables of the
duties collected by Germany and the United
States, purporting to show that American
duties upon twenty-five staple lines ranged
from IL per cent on sole leather to 1000
per cent on writing machines higher than
the duties collected by Germany. Other
examples cited by Baron Heyl Zu Herrns-
helm were bicycles, on which. he said the
American duty was $50 per cent higher
than that collected by Germany; sewing
machines. which the American duty
was from 100 to $50 per cent higher; fur
niture, $50 per cent higher. and tobacco
protested that he did not desire tariff
war.
But" said Herr Gothein "these amend
ments provoke a tariff war The Increase
In our imports from the United States q
due to our demands for raw products like
copper. which our electrical industry re-
quires."
The vote on Count Won schwerin-Loe-
Wits amendment was postponed.

KEEPING FRESH EGGS FRESH.
She'll Treated, That Escape of Moist
ure is Prevented.


ure is Prevented.
From the Lancet.
On no subject, perhaps, is there greater
conflict of opinion than on the preservation
of eggs. Some urge that the newly-laid egg
should be kept dry and others that it should
be kept moist or even immersed in fluid.
OF course, by effectually sealing the pores
of a shell as with wax or grease the mo-
ment the egg Is laid, no difference in weight
by the loss of moisture can occur. and 1t is
unlikely that anything can enter the egg
from the outside. There is little doubt that
the change from fresh to- stale condi-
tion Is partly question Of the loss Of mois-
ture and partly disturbance Of equilib-
rum by external agencies.
The method consists merely In greasing
the eggs the moment they are laid and be-
fore they have cooled. This procedure is
to be as fresh to the taste when weeks and
even months old as they arg when eaten an
hour after being laid. II Id also suggested
to immerse eggs in strongssolution Of sill
the preservative effect9 Is probably due to
the formation of hard classy silicate of
lime within the substance oC the shell, form
ing. SO to speak, perfectly air-tight en-
metically sealed ~Thisp however, is no ar
gumentsin favor Of wet Storage. and even
by the siiicating process We imagine that
tne absolutely newly laid warm egg must
be selected for the purpose. It Is well
known, further, that water glass possesses
q powerful antiseptic action. Eggs treated
IN this way are said to preserve their
fresh milky taste for six months and to- be
indistinguishable from the egg taken
straight from the nest
Eggs, OF course, merely submerged In
water would probably get stale more quick
Y than when kept under dry conditions.
The question Of the effectual preservation
OF eggs Is of the, utmost Importance and
one which British producers have persist
emily ignored. an inexnlicabIe attitude by
which much valuable food Is wasted and a
source OF profit thrown away.
