MEET TO DISCUSS PENDING IN
vEsTIGATIoN.
Subpoenas Of Interstate Commerce
Commission Cause a
FURRY.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-The presidents
ard executive officials of western rail
roads held a secret conference today
at which one subject of discussion
was the pending investigation by the
Interstate commerce commission,
which will begin here on Friday.
The meeting was hastily called and
was due partly to the fact that Second
Vice President Paul Morton of the
Santa Fe and Third Vice President
]. M. Johnson of the Rock Island, had
been s~ubpoedaed to appear before the
commission and give testimony upon
the subject of rates on grain and grain
products east from the Missouri river
to the Atlantic sea board. The meet
ing was adjourned until tomorrow,
and an urgent call was sent to execu-
tives of st. Louis lines west Of the
river to attend. This was due to the
fact that the traffic heads of those
lines have been subpoenaed to appear
at the interstate commission investi-
cation.

FOR POPULAR ELECTIONS.
Committees Consider Change In Sen.
atorial Elections.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Tne house
committee on election of president
and vice-president today made favor
able report on the bill for the election
OF United States senators by direct
vote of the people. The bill follows
literally that of last year and presents
the advantages of popular elections
for senators.
In the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections there was an in
formal discussion today of the same
proposition. There were before the
senate committee petitions from six
different states calling on congress
to convent a national convention to
amend the federal constitution and to
make this change in the methods of
choosing senators. Thirty such petit
tons are necessary to insure such a
convention and the discussion today
turned upon the point as to whether
the 30 necessary petitions should be
addressed to one congress or whether
a petition once made stands for all
time. No decision was reached.

the book are correct as far as l can
remember. (Signed) ". S. Sehley,

HAD NO STEAM WHEN ATTACK
WAS MADE.
COULD NOT USE BIG GUNS
RevoIutionists Came to Destroy Yes.
sci and Having Succeeded
Retired.

Panama, Jan. 21.-All is quiet here
today. General Herrera, the revolu-
tionary leader, informed Captain
Mead of the cruiser Philadelphia, that
he came here to prevent the Colon
bian government from using the
steamer Lautaro against the liberals.
He had accomplished this and there
fore retired.
The revolutionists had II wounded
yesterday. The number killed cannot
be precisely ascertained. OF the gov
eminent forces five were killed and
four wounded.
An exchange of prisoners, was re-
%sponsible for yesterdays disaster to
the government. Revolutionists heard
of the plans of the government. The
Lautaro's circulating pump was out
of order and she had no steam up
when she was attacked by the Padilla.
The Padilla. which was recently
painted white so as to deceive gov.
eminent officers as to her identity, adj
vanced unrecognized to a spot 300
meters from the Lautaro. She then
tegan firing at the Lautaro. The posi-.
ton of the latter prevented her from
using her two big guns mounted for
ward, but she returned Padilla's fire
with her small after guns. Her gun
ner, Power, was the first man killed.
The foreign crew of Lautaro refused
to obey orders.
General Alban, who displayed great
courage, was shot on the steamers
deck.
General Garcia, a veteran officer,
has been appointed military command
er of the district in succession to Gen
eral Alban. Senior Arizona is civil
governor. 1t is believed the revolu-
tionary steamers were damaged.
The capture of Panama by revolu-
tionists is considered impossible ow-
ing to the number of government
troops here.

trap. He built a large yard neaDhis

ened to a log chain. Her howls bring
wolves for miles around, and the trap
per, sitting in his cabin, calmly shoots
them at his leisure.
sn every section of the peninsula
wolves are reported unusually numer-
aus this year. The deer in conse-
quence are suffering, as the many car
casses seen in the woods testify, and
lately even men have been attacked.
Only day or two ago case of the
latter transpired in Dickinson county.
Claude Freckelson, employed as a
cook at logging camp, six miles from
Floodwood, started in the evening TO
walk to the village. When half the
distance he heard something running
toward him and, turning, saw a wolf
close by. The man, not being armed.
was badly frightened. The yelps of
the wolf were answered by others,
and soon four other of the animals
had joined their companion. Freckel,
ton luckily managed to find club and
thus armed began backing away. The
hungry animals would circle around
him and snap at his legs, and when
ever they came near enough he would
strike al them.

TUNNEL MICRoBE APPEARS.
Minute Parasite Known as AniSiosfo-
ma Discovered in New York
subway.

The tunnel microbe has made its APP
pearance at New York. Its presence
in the human system is known by las
situde, lowered vitality, anaemia, and
digestive troubles. The parasite is
known to scientists as Anklostoma
duodenalis. 1t has been called st.
Gothard's disease in Europe be.
cause il came into prominence dur
ing the building of the famous st.
Gothard tunnel in the south of
Switzerland. % years ago. It's discov-
cry in America was the joint work of
Drs. L. Fl. Warner and Storm White,
expert Psychologists and bacteriolo-
gists.
The presence of the'minute parasite
that is the cause of this disease was
discovered in the tunnel by DIR. War
ner about year ago. but no cases are
known to have developed until few
weeks ago.
Two suspicious cases from the West
side, in the neighborhood of the tun-
mel, which were supposed at first TO
be of enteric troubles, have just been
investigated by Drs. Warner and
White, who declare that they are with
out doubt well-developed cases of the
new disease.
More important still, specimens OF
the parasite have been found in the
city water in the tunnel neighborhood
by DR.. Warner and he says that o
spread of the disease is an imminent
danger. If the disease is properly
identified it is said to be easily cnred,
and the two recorded cases in New
York were quickly brought back to
health as soon as il was found out
what was the matter.
These troublesome little creatures,
the Anklostoma, have been found in
the water of the tunnel. in the city
water, and in immense numbers in the
contents of the intestines of the two
patients.
