The SENATOR referred to thinks that this

sonai convictions of members III favor OF
the Nicaragua route as from the circum-
stance that there is an intensely strong
popular dcrsnd for it. He scouts the
idea OF there being railway lobby work

very general belief that there Is such
lobby has actually strengthened the bill
and made its passage through the Senate
moral certainty.

measure likely to be reported this session
by the Committee on Coinage. Weights,
and Measures will be one for the general
introduction OF the metric system into the
United States. Fer a long time efforts
have been made to procure legislation Of
this character. and the scientific thought
of the country is all in favor of it,
The American system of weights and
measures is out of harmony with that of
all the rest of the commercial world,
which. with the exceptions of Great Brit
ain. has very generally adopted the met
ric system. For years past the members
Of the House Committee on Coinage have
been favorable to this change, but the
subject has been completely overshadowed
by the question OF coinage. That question
IS now out Of the way. and there seems
to be a fair prospect for the reporting OF

here is no reason to anticipate serious op-
position 10 its passage. Ga
Any change from the weights and meas
lres now in vogue will create some lit
lie confusion and perplexity at first. but

IS that of our money. and the most ordi-

REPORT SOON TO BE READY.
Last Annual Report Is Received by
Railroad Commission.

The last report of the railroads for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1902,
was received by the railroad and ware
house commission yesterday. 1t was
the report of the Canadian Northern.
That company, however, not being ac-
CuStomed to keeping the records neces-
sary to supply the information called
for was unable to furnish detailed
statements Of gross and net earnings,
expenses and income from the various
departments. The report shows never
theless that the freight earnings of
the road for the small branch in this
state were Sits, and interstate freight
earnings, S30,868.42; passenger earn
ings, $S,3S5.22; telegraph earnings,
$162.03; express earnings, $256.55; mail
earnings, 1881. Some figures are given
on the amount of freight handled; the
report shows that the company car
ried 2,110,0S2 pounds, which is classi-
lied as local" and 167,779,60S pounds,
s5hich is described as Interstate"
This being the last report work on
the annual statistics of the commits
sion will soon be finished. Most of
the statistics have now been complet-
ed, and the tabulated figures will be
sent to the printer within twenty-four
hours. 1t is expected that the report
of the commission will be ready for
publication within six weeks.
The annual report of the commission
this year will be of especial interest to
railroad men, as it will set forth in de-
tail the statistics on the railroad oper-
alton and income for the most re-
markable year in the railroad history
of Minnesota.

CATTLE QUARANTINE
WON'T INJURE THE WEST
This Is the Assurance of the Secretary
of Agriculture.


CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The West is not
to suffer because of the epidemic of
hoof and mouth disease of cattle, hogs
and sheep in the New England states,
says Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
who is in Chicago.
1.-The indications are that we will be
successful in stamping out the disease
before it reaches this section said the
secretary. my latest report from the
infected district is that the disease is
at a standstill. Congress will be asked
for a special appropriation to cure the
disease permanently. 1 intend to ask
for at least $1,O0O,0OO for this pur-
pose"
BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 1.-The eXecu-
tive council this afternoon adopted an
order which declares that all meat,
cattle, sheep and swine upon infected
until such time as the chief of the
cattle bureau decides that it is proper
to release them; that no auctions or
public sales of meat cattle, sheep or
swine shall be held in infected locali-
ties; that the transport of cattle, ETC.,
over public highways is forbidden at
all times when the disease appears to
be on the increase, and that only those
having business there shall be per-
mitted to load cattle at Canadian ports.
The order has upset plans to have
Boston ships call at either Halifax, N
S., or st. John, N. B., for live stock,
and today there was a rapid exchange
of telegrams with a view to having the
order modified.

ONE PROFANE PARROT
MAY CAUSE DIVORCE
Wife Says Husband Taught Bird Pro-
fanity to Disturb Her SIunnbers,

had not been taught by the defendant
as the complaint alleges, to scream
every morning at 6 o'clock, winter and
summer, Get up, - you!" 1T
is probable that Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
H. Schultz would now be living to-
gether in happiness and domestic con-
tentment. But the parrot, Mrs. Schultz
declares, spoke profanely at that un-
seemly hour, so now the courts are
preparing to hear the evidence in an
action for separation, one of the most
important grounds for which lies in
the alleged remarks let fall by the evil
speaking bird
The complainant in her affidavit
says that the bird when it first came
into her possession was refined and
moral parrot, and spoke only polite
and Well-bred phrases, choosing the
best and most circumspect English in
making its wants known. But a change
came over the sweet nature of this re-
markable bird soon after it began to
associate with the defendant, Mr..
Schultz, says the complaint. From
gentle thoughts uttered in purest die
tion it fell to talking slangy and vul-
gar sentences, and at last, says Mrs.
Schultz, reached the depths of deprav-
ity by swearing openly and without
blushing. These oaths, she continues,
were familiar enough to her ear for
her to determine their origin, and when
the decadent parrot at last awoke her
from sweet dreams at 8 o'clock of a
winters morning by calculating the
observation outlined above, her pa
tience departed and she resolved to
take steps toward achieving the peace
full and quiet life.
Mrs. Schultz also declares that Mr..
Schultz made fun of her clothes with
out ever offering to purchase for her
others to take their place, and once,
she says, when she was trying to make
some new ones, he cut the belt of the
sewing machine. The answer has not
yet been filed by the accused husband.
The couple live in this city and have
been married for eighteen years.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Hearing in the
federal suit against the Northern Secu-
rites company as the alleged holder
of controlling interest in both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads, was resumed in this city to-
day.
1t developed at the hearing that the
testimony of E. H. Hartman, in the
case of Minnesota against the North
ern Securities company, had been TAX
en- in private last week, and ex-Judge
Day, special assistant attorney general
for the United States, said that Mr..
Hartman could not give any details
of the organization or object of the
Northern Securities company.
"Mr. Hartman had no information
of any value to Minnesota" he added.
No More Hearings.
A conference of counsel for both
sides in the federal case today was
held behind closed doors, and ex-
Judge Day said that no more hearings
would be held in New York.
The hearing today was before the Of
fetal stenographer, R. S. Taylor, who
acted by consent of all the counsel in
terested, in the place of Special Ex-
aminer Ingersoll, who telegraphed from
st. Paul that he would not be able to
get here.
There was nothing of Importance
scheduled and the hearing consisted in
giving the counsel of both sides a
chance to agree on certain document
ary evidence and upon a date when the
matter may be presented to the trial
judge in the United States circuit court
of Minnesota. 1t was agreed to admit
to the record of the federal case the
evidence given by Col. Clough and by
Mr.. Hartman in the state case, as well
as the minutes of the meetings of Nov.
IA and Is, 1901, of the directors Of the
Northern Securities company.

THUNDERBOLT OPENS A
RIFT IN THE MOUNTAIN
Rich Vein of Iron Ore Revealed to
Two Prospectors.

WV FIOSPSSlCISs
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 1. = It
will not be an easy task for one to
convince Larry O'Donnell and Frank
Ingersoll, that nature did not get up
the electrical storm which visited that
locality this week especially for their
benefit. Be it known that thunder
storms are extremely rare in Cali
fornia. Indeed, there are plenty Of
persons here whose hair shows gray
who have never heard the voice of
thunder. In the mountain sections of
the state thunderstorms do at rare
intervals occur. but it has been a
number of years since Sunset Canyon
echoed to the reverberations of the
thunder's voice until the recent storms.
For number of years prospectors
have suspected that considerable
vein of iron ore lay concealed some
where in the mountains in the vicinity
of the canyon, and much prospecting
has been done in the endeavor to To-
cate it. Float bearing traces of iron is
plentifully scattered over a large Sec
ton of country, and the two prospect
ors above mentioned followed the lead
to Sunset Canyon, and there in what
seemed to be a promising spot, they
began sinking a shaft, hoping to cross
cut the mineral lode. Patiently and
persistently the men worked all
tnrOugn the summer ana they had
hole some thirty feet deep with two
lateral tunnels running several feet
into the mountain, to show for their
summers labor. Unfortunately this
was all they did have to show for it,
for no trace of the mineral they sought
had been found, and their means had
played out.
On the day of the storm they con-
cluded to abandon the search, and
they had taken the tools from the hole
and were packing their camp outfit
when the storm came up. The fall of
the rain was accompanied by a bril-
liant electrical display and plenty of
thunder. Suddenly there came most
terrific clap of thunder, accompanying
a binding flash of lightning, and it
seemed to the watching men as though
the mountain was being torn asunder.
A moment later another equally sew
ere crash followed and a third clap
came a little later The lightning
bolts seemed to be directed at the
shaft they had so recently abandoned,
and when the storm had cleared and
they investigated they saw that the
wall of the shaft had been scanned and
shattered by the electrical shots. They
descended to ascertain the results of
the bolts and found the wall of the
shaft opposite to the lateral tunnels
had been riven and several tons of
rock had been scaled off and had fallen
to the bottom of the shaft, but, what
was of more interest and importance
to the prospectors, the vein of ore
which they had persistently sought had
been laid bare.
