Railroads have been imposed on by the

Circumvention OF Flies.

A Salt Lake man suggests the follow
ing method of protecting horses and cat
tie against the annoyance of flies and
other troublesome insects. 1t consists in
brief OF sponging the animal lightly every
other day with mixture of coal oil and
water in equal quantities. The man says
he has tried this remedy on his own
horses with great success; that the flies
cannot endure the kerosene and give the
horse a wide berth He says the liquid
should be used in sufficient amount to wet
the skin, but should be only lightly
spread over the hair.

Washington, March The third
caucus of the house republicans on
the Cuban sugar concession question
was held last night. Prior to the
meeting Speaker Henderson and Mr..
Cannon rep, Ill.), the latter chairman
of the caucus, called at the white
house and were understood to have
held a further conference with the
president on the situation. Speeches
were made at the caucus by Messrs.
DalZell of Pennsylvania, Long of Kan
sas, Taylor of Ohio and Mahon of
Pennsylvania, who suggested postpon-
ing the subject until the next congress.
Speaker Hend erson counselled the
fullest discussion before action was
taken in order that differences might
be reconciled and an amicable adjust
ment reached. The speakers sugges-
ton met with general acceptance and
the conference adjourned until next
Tuesday night
The following authorized statement
was made public at the white house
last night:
ANY statement that the president
has changed his attitude on the Cuban
reciprocity question is without the
slightest foundation in fact"
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee gave an authorized
statement in which he said he thought
that a majority of the republicans
had decided that something must be
done for Cuba Of the three PROPOSE
lions before congress, he thought the
one favoring twenty per cent. reduc-
ton the most favored, because it
would injure no home industry. He
said he had assurance that the cabinet
was not divided on the question.
'"The proposition of twenty per
cent reduction, if adopted, will put
off in my judgment" said Mr. Payne,
annexation of Cuba for many years.
She will not come in until her popula-
ton is Americanized from the states.
1t will settle the question for genera
lions to come and give rest and tran
guilty to the sugar business. If the
reduction is made, no further change
will be made until we have annexation
and free trade. To refuse to do any
thing would put the house in a posi-
ton hostile to the president, would
cause uncertainty and a feeling Of
apprehension to producers of sugar in
the states, and be demoraliZing

that many of the physicians of the
lcity have been called TO attend per-
sons sick with smallpox, and that
they have failed to report these cases
and permitted the patients to mingle
with the outside world, themselves
doing the same, and that for this rea-
son the disease has spread. At
present twenty houses are placarded
and quarantined. In view of these
conditions the board determined to
prosecute those physicians who fail
to report their cases.
An exciting and interesting time is
expected, for the reason that several
physicians have openly stated that
they do not believe there is a case Of
genuine smallpox in the city and
have given certificates to persons
whom the board of health quaran-
tined. in effect that they have not
the disease. These patients are put

the hall he passed the statue OF
George Washington, which he saluted.
This act was greeted with a roar OF
applause by the crowd. From Indepen-
dence hall he went to Cramps ship
yard which he inspected critically,
visited all the warShips being built
there and expressed wonder and de-
light at what he saw. The new Rus

boarded his train and as it pulled out
of the depot was given another popu-
lar ovation.

Washington, March 1.-THE third

rotary Long submitted his resignation
in a graceful letter, it being accepted
in one equally felicitiOus by the presi-
dent The change was made complete
by the selection of Representative
William Henry Moody OF MassachU-
sets, as Longs successor.
This change has been expected for
a long time Secretary Long had in
tended to retire at the beginning of
the late President McKinley's second
term, but consented to remain until
certain lines Of policy in which he
was involved were more satisfa ctorily
arranged. Then when President
Roosevelt succeeded, though anxious
to return to private life,-for Long
will never again enter politics-a
strong feeling of loyalty towards
Roosevelt induced the secretary to de-
fer his retirement until it was con-
yenient for the president to make the

Mr.. Moodys selection for the post
Of secretary of the navy was the out
come of an interesting contest. There
were no less than half dozen aSpir-
ants, but the struggle finally narrowed
down to two representatives in con
gress-Mr Foss of Illinois, chairman
of the naval committee of the house
who had the energetic support of MS
western colleagues, and Mr.. Moody
for whom Senator Lodge made win
ming fight. 1t was for a time in doubt
whether Mr.. Moody would not be
placed in some important foreign mis-
sion rather than in the navy but he
preferred to stay at home.
The news that Representative
Moody had accepted the navy port
folio reached the capitol shortly at
ter noon and Mr.. Moody, who was on
the floor of the house, was showered
with hearty congratulations Fol
several minutes he held a levee in
one of the side aisles on the republi-

Mr.. Moody began his rise to promi-
