and cross 1t over the two following
strands. The four-straud .cog6iug shown
in figure +, to my mind, gives better
shaped rope than the one just de.
scribed. The diagram itself Is the best
description l can give of four-strand
cording. Arrange them as shown, each
strand under the one next to it, and
then pull them tight. About twenty
five feet is the best length for begin
ner. To make the loop in a braided rope
fasten the end back by means of the
endless tie shown in figure 2. When
the winding Is completed put the end
(B) through the loop Co. and pull the
end (A) until the loop and end have en-
tirely disappeared beneath the coil
Then cut off the end (A) and the end
less tie is complete. In order to have
the rope run smoothly cover the loop
with canvas or some other strong cloth
as shown BY figure 4.
Real rawhide ropes are buried under
ground for some two weeks and after
ward creased with mutton tallow to-
make them pliable. Two weeks under
ground will not improve a linen or
hemp rope, but the greasing 1 would
strongly advise; only be careful where
you hang up your lasso when not using
it, for grease has very penetrating
quality.
The art of throwing lariat cannot
be reduced to rule. No two men do it
alike. If you ask cowboy to teach
you he will say that every man must
learn to do 1t for himself, by practice
He will be quite willing to show you
how he throws the rope, but his style
will be quite different from the very
next cowboy you meet, and is certain
to be entirely different from the
method you finally adopt. The illustra-
ton shows the characteristic position
assumed at the moment Of delivery;
but it can only suggest; practice is the
only master who can teach lasso throw

Any Canal aIr. Cannon said War Taxes
Could Not BE Removed II Government
Undertook such Gigantic Enterprlse.
Washington. Jan. IO.-The Shacl1le-
ford amendment 10 the .Ni@raguan
canal bin was defeated lo2 to I50.
The shackleford amendmenq was for
fortifying the canal
The canal bin proper passed by the
overwhelming vote Of eos 70 against.
IN anticipation 81 8 yo on the
Nicaraguan canal bin Thursday there
was a large attendance on the floor
when the house met. Mr.. Adamson
lCa.), the first speaker, urged the
passage 81 the Hepburn bin without
amendment. He argued tina, the time
had come for action and that eqniyo-
cation now could only result ia de-
laying the commencement of the
canal
Mr.. Wooten frex-) also argued that
the bin should be passed without
amendment II the Morris amend
ment VAS adopted. he said, the canal
would become conditional project
surrounded by doubts and difficulties
which might doom it to final failure
owing to international political com-
plications. He declared it was rather
n strange coincidence that those who
now wanted Ia amend the bin had ia
the past opposed the passage Of any
bin.
Cannon (nh). Discussing the Ian
euaee &c the bin, said that under its
"artful language fun power was Civ
en- to not pay only Nicaragua and
Costa Rica ana the Maritime Canal
company their demands. but also the
American and Nicaragpan spectators
who owned property along the route.
he criticised the undue haste Of the
promoters of the Nicaraguan canal
Mr. Cannon said it was doubtful If
war taxes could be removed If the gov
ernment was committed TO such gi-
gantic enterprise. lie said he would vote
for the Morris amendment and if that
failed would move TO recommit. 50 the
bin could be amended.
DcArmond (Mo.) favored leaving
the question Of routes to the presi-.
denP With alternative authority be
could make better terms.
Before the vote was taken Chair
man Hepburn. who is the stanch sup
porter OF this Nicaraguan route, made
the closing speech. He charged that

owning any canal across the isthmus
Without a canal certain corporations
can control the transcontinental rail-

anything about the Panama canal

CASPER, Wyo., March 26.-(Special Tel
egram. General Indignation is felt on
all sides on account of the delay OF the ex-
ecution of Charles Woodward, murderer OF
Sheriff Kicker. The most conservative peo-
pie believe he will not be lynched, but
others declare he will be taken from jail
Friday night and Hanged on the gallows
that had been prepared for his legal execu-
tion. Many reputable citizens declare
that IL an tttempt is made to lynch the
murderer they will not discourage the
move.
Casper is filling up with people who came
in to witness the legal hanging of the muir
derer, not knowing that the supreme court
had granted a stay Of execution. There
are hundreds of prominent ranchmen amoag
the visitors and they express the hope
that there will be no delay.
About 200 sheep shearers have arrived,
together with a large number Of tough
characters any one of whom would will
lingly lead a mob uDon the county Jail.
No one has as yet been found, however.
who will assume the leadership of lynch
ers' party.
Woodward is extremely happy over the
action of the supreme court. for he believes
he has several years vet to live.

MINISTER FOR THE aEw CUBA
Gonzales dc Quesada Looked Upon as
the First Ambassador 90
United statet.

WASHINGTON. March ss.-It is the
present understanding that Gonzales de
Quesada, formerly Cuban commissioner,
will be the first minister from Cuba to the
United States. The United States diplo-
matte representative to Cuba Will be full
fedged minister and not commissioner.
President Roosevelt is about to send
message to congress TO secure legislative
authority for the appointment OF such a
minister, as we'll as for the half dozen
United States consuls who must be ap-
pointed. There are no less than 200 appli-
cations on file for these consulates already
and the sending of the presidents message
on the subject is expected to vastly in
crease this number. The president has not
indicated the person he viii designate as
minister to Cuba, but despite the fact that
this official must negotiate the treaties with
the new republic, It is thought the choice
will fall on someone not lacking in diplo-
matte experience. The choice will GER
tainly not fall on an army or navy officer
in the present state OF mind OF the execu-
tive. The salary attached to the ONCE will,
1t is thought. be in the nsighborhood Of
$500 per annum.
Preliminary steps have already been
taken by the United States government to
locate the naval and coaling stations, which
by the terms Of the PIatt amendment are
to be ceded by treaty to the United States
Rear Admiral Bradford. chief Of the
equipment bureau of the Navy department,
has given special attention to the subject
and for the last two weeks has been cruis-
ing in West Indian waters, particularly di-
recting his attention to Cuban ports Yes
terday he arrived at Gusntspa and it is
believed that here will be located the prin-
cipal IL not the only United States naval
station in Cuba. The harbor is capable OF
easy defense against an enemy and the
health conditions are better than in San
tiago' There also is more anchorage room.
The Cubans do not want naval station
at Havana proper and the United States
government is willing to defer to the
cuban national pride in this matter.

REBELLION OVER IN MALVAR
End of InsurrectiOn Admitted by In

Captured.

MANILA. March 26.-Noriel, the only in
surgent general, with the exception Of NAL
var, still in the field, has been captured by
Lieutenant Frank e. Bamford Of the
Twenty eighth infantry. A major, q cap
tain, a lieutenant and hve men who were
acting as a bodyguard to Noriel were cap
tured with him. They have all been held
as prisoners of war.
There is some reason to believe that one
member Of this guard is General Malvar in
disguise. Lieutenant Bamford is certain
that II this general is not one OF the cap
tured party he is in the neighborhood of
the-scene Of Noriel's capture.
Noriel has been one Of the recognized
leaders of the insurrection since 1899. He
was captured on his way to the coast while
endeavoring 10 escape. He admits that the
insurrection as such is over and says the
few remaining leaders are fleeing. as they
do not command enough men TO warrant
surrenders commensurate with their rank.
