A WORD OF DEBATE.
Outcome Of a Challenge Richardson, Of Ten.

Consent That the Bill be Put on Passage
After Adoption Of Order for Considera.
tion-Vote was Unanimous.

Washington, Feb. lS.-The unex-
pected happened in the house yesterday
when the bill to repeal the war revenue
taxes was passed unanimously without
word of debate. This action was the
outcome of a challenge thrown down by
Richardson, of Tennessee, the minority
leader, after the adoption, by strict
party vote, of special order for the
consideration OF the bill which permit
ted debate upon it until o'clock this
afternoon, but cut off all opportunity of
Offering amendments, except such as
had been agreed upon by the ways and
means committee. The adoption of
the rule had been preceded by stormy
debate, in the course of which the Dem
ocrats protested against the application
of the gag" which Hay Dem. Va.)
charged was meant to prevent a free ex-
preston, not only by the Democrats
but by some of the Republicans, atten-
ton being especially directed toward
Babcock (Rep. Wis., the father of the
bill, to amend the steel schedule of the
present law. They also charged that
such method of procedure was mini

When the rule was adopted by vote
of l5S to 1920, Richardson (Dem. Tenn.)
to emphasize the fact that debate on
the bill could accomplish nothing, and
deliberation on it would be fruitless,
asked unanimous consent that the bill
be placed on its passage. Not an OBJ
lection was voiced, and the vote was
taken forthwith. Every vote, 27s in
number, was cast in the affirmative.

MADE A CLEAN SWEEP,
Bell Crushes Rebellion in Batansas Province
at Expense Of Other Districts.

Manila, Feb. 19.-General j. Frank
lin Bell has practically cleaned up the
instruction in Batangas province, the
troops under his command having made
a clean sweep of the district. 1t is
not believed that all the insurgents
arms have been captured or surrender
ed, but that number of them have
been taken by the insurgents to other
provinces or safely hidden.
The increase of robber bands in the
provinces of Tabayas and Cavite show
the effects of the drastic measures
adopted in Batangas and Laguna PROV
inces. General Bell says the people of
these latter provinces never realized
the terrors of war until they personally
experienced it's hardships, owing to
the closing of the ports and the concen-
tration of the natives in the towns.
General Bell believes that the insur-
gent leader, Malvar, is becoming ex-
tremely unpopular with the Filipinos,
and that when the natives cease to fear
his vengeance, many will be found
willing to betray him. What has been
said OF Batangas province applies almost
equally to Laguna.

tom, which have been temporarily

MERGING SAVINGS BANKS.
Big Consolidation Scheme That Is Under
Way At Cleveland.

Cleveland, Feb. 1S.-At three meet
ings held during the past week, the
preliminary arrangements were COM
pleted in this city for one of the most
gigantic bank consultations in the
history of money and banking in Ohio.
In general the plan contemplates the
consolidation of nearly all the smaller
savings banks in Cleveland and will
eventually absorb a number of banks
in nearby towns. The elimination of
the smaller savings banks means their
absorption into one great associated
bank to be located somewhere in the
heart of the city, with capitalization
of more than 81 900, 900. At first no
new capital stock will be issued, but
the capital stock of all the banks going
into the associated bank will be turned
into pool to form the capital stock of
the combined bank. 1t is planned to
include in the consolidation from the
start all the smaller outlying banks in
the city, some Is or 20 in number. 1t
is not probable that the names of the
banks interested will be announced I'M
til all have signed the agreement.

Smith County Pioneer, which is now
one of the leading county papers of that
state. In 1881 Mr.. Jenkins came to
Washington and located at Seattle. He
aided in establishing the Daily Chron-
icle and helped edit that paper when it
was the leading state journal. In 1888
he removed to WhatcOm and with
Others established the Daily Reveile.
Later, he served three terms as mayor
of that city. In 1890 he was census
supervisor for Western Washington.
Shortly after the formation of the Pop
ulist party, in 1892, Mr.. Jenkins be-
came one OF its leaders. In 1896 he
was nominated by that party for secre-

About two years ago he was stricken
with a malady that puzzled the physi-

DANISH TREATY RATIFIED.
Senate Concludes the Deal for Purchase Of the
Danish West Indies,

Washington, Feb. 18.-Yesterday, in
a little more than an hours time, the
senate disposed of the treaty with Dem
mark ceding to the United States for a
consideration of IS, 900, 900 the islands
of st. Thomas, st. John and st. Croix,
composing the group of Antilles known
as the Danish West Indies, and lying
just east of Porto Rico, and thus, so far
as this country is concerned, CONSUME
mated transaction which has been un
der consideration internationally since
the administration of President Lin
coin.
The treaty and the report on it were
read at length, and more or less dis
cussion of the Philippines was INDUCED
in. Cullom, as chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, made Il
speech explaining the advantages of the
acquisition of the islands, and Bacon
and McLaurin, of Mississippi, made
brief remarks, saying that while they
could not indorse all the provisions of
the agreement, they would place no OBJ
stacles in the way of ratification. Ba-
con moved to amend the treaty by
striking out the second paragraph of
article Of the treaty, reading as fol-
lows:
"Cullom explained all the provisions
of the inhabitants of the islands should
be determined by congress, subject to
the stipulations contained in the pres
ent convention"
He based his opposition to this pro-
vision on the ground that the constitu-
ton should extend to the islands when
they became part of the United
States. He said, however, that the
failure to accept the amendment would
not prevent his voting for the treaty,
for he believed in the Monroe doctrine.
The amendment was rejected without
division.

Glover in the Rotation CrOps,

1t is now generally understood that
the rotation Of crops is practiced so
that the plant foods in the soil may be
drawn upon about in equal quantities
instead of using heavily of one and lit
tie of the others, as is the case when
one crop is grown several years in sue
cession. There is another point about
the rotation of crops that is not so
well understood by farmers. and that
is the value of using clover or some
plant Of a similar character as a part
Of the rotation crops, and simply be-
cause it returns more plant food to the
soil than it takes out of it. Thus Is
one reason why authorities on legumes
have urged so persstently that farm
ers use them more freely and have
shown where cowpeas. Canada field
peas and the velvet bean can he used
to advantage on farms where it does
not seem possible to get good stand
of clover.-Indianapolis News.

Chicks Need Grit.

The chicks will be benefited by hav-
ing some kind of gritty material mixed
with their first feed. Coarse sand or
egg shells dried and run through the
coffee mill is probably as good as any
thing for this purpose. The supply
houses keep in stock what is known
as "chick grit but we do not believe
that it is any better than what has
been above suggested. Next to the raw
ages of lice. bowel troubles lead to
the heaviest loss of chicks. and the
grit tends in great degree to prevent
such troubles If chick Is killed at
the end of the first day that 1t has run
with the hen its crop will be found
to contain a considerable quantity Of
sand and fine gravel. and If the wealth
err is such that the hen can be turned
loose the day following that on which
the brood Is taken from the nest. and
be allowed to select the food. the own
err will generally be safe in relieving
himself of any concern regarding their
health The hen sees to it that the
chicks get something which is not
usually thought of by the owner. and
that is grit.-Drovers' Journal.

SPECIAL WAS TOO SLOW.

Overlook and Ran Into Il.

Litchfield, H., Feb. 19.-Two per-
sons met death and five were injured
today in a a rear end collision near here
between the Diamond Special" on the
Illinois Central road and a freight
train. The collision was remarkable in
that the fast passenger train was ahead
OF the freight and that both trains were
moving.
The Diamond Special was moving at
a rate of ~ miles an hour when the
freight crashed into the rear sleeper.

been travelling faster had there not
been some trouble with the locomotive s

a Correct Cellar,

A cellar can be kept as pure and dry
as any other part of the house IL it
but have reasonable amount OF atten-
ton. Unless the ground be low. SO as
to make water collect in the cellar, it
is not necessary. although desirable.
to cement the walls and floor. Bricks
set on edge and laid with tight joints
form clean and satisfactory floor.
Slope the floor so that a drain will car
ry off any water that may collect. This
gives opportunity to fully wash the
cellar. for cleanliness is as necessary
here as in the other rooms. Light,
cleanliness and pure air make the per-
feet cellar, as they do the perfect liv-

Beet Sugar and Cane Sugar.

DR.. Wiley. who is one Of the most
earnest advocates OF sugar beet cul-
ture in the United States. said at a
farmers meeting in Ontario that the
sugar cane growers in the tropics had
Il decided advantage over the sugar
beet growers Of the Northern States in
the cost of production of sugar. If the
labor Of the South was as effective as
that Of the North. and as much enter
PRISE was shown In developing the
fields for cane and in other branches
of the industry as must be shown on
Northern farms in beet growing. the
canea crop would win in the race every
time. We believe this to be true. and
therefore we are unable to understand
why he and others SO earnestly urge
the growing of sugar beets here. 1t
cannot be that the best crop has proven
profitable one to those who have been
engaged in 1t. Few Of the crops that
we have seen reported have shown n
yield Of over $50 worth to the acre. and
the majority fall below $40. while the
manure and labor required is about
half as great as that required to grow
800 bushels of potatoes. and either Of
these is a more certain crop on good
land well cared for than are the sugar

the trip as planned, with its speeches and
receptions, obliging the president to keep

trouble was in the nature of an ahseess on
the left leg between the knee and ankle,
which formed at the spot where the pres

time OF his trolley accident at Pittsfield,
Mass. Al that time, Mr.. Roosevelt made

operation and no anasthetie Was required.
Afterward, the president was taken to his
car in an ambulance and the trip back to
