The weather on Saturday was all that
could be desired for the races at the stock
farm, and large crowd was present. Il
is estimated that it numbered $500. Quite
a few were from up the state, but the ma
jority came from Philadelphia. Mr.. Me-
Farland has had the grand stand enlarged,
bat it was taxed to its utmost capacity.
The new lessee is very much pleased with
this his first matinee here.
The four events on the program were all
of the straight heat variety and afforded
rare good sport
Gold Lace and Dot, the double team,
driven by Harry Davis, won the handsome
silver cup offered for that event
Prince A beat Major S out in the free for
all in fast time. Job Edison proved too
much for Amaze in the 2.20 class and j.

Almost 3 Murder.

During fight among Italians at Clayton
last Sunday, Donald DeSola received a
knife thrust below the heart. Had the
wound been two inches higher it must have
been surely fatal. Jino Mescot was arrested
on accusation of being the assailant, and
Prosecutor Starr was telephoned to, but
was unable to come. The two Italians
were subsequently given their liberty on
promise not to leave the borough until the
Grand Jury had acted on the case.

Tweed, farmer Of Hurffyille, was return
ing from market on the stone road, driving
a fractions team; one being very fretful, be
got out of the wagon after crossing the
Almonesson trolley tracks to tie the animal
back. This was the last he knew until he
woke up in Cooper Hospital next day with
head cut and terribly SCARED. What trans
pired was that when Mr.. Tweed stepped
between his horses he fell, and one foot
caught in the harness. The team ran to
the Scott place, Mr.. Tweed dragging under,
the wagon, where they were caught, and
he unconscious, was taken to the hospital,
where he is now out of danger.

Root Ban.

Woodbury. was up against it again
on Saturday, Marion team winning by 6 to
0. After playing the heavy Germantowns
the week before the home team, partly on
account of their broken up condition, lack
Of practice and the quick snappy playing Of
the visitors, was unable to retain possess
ion Of the ball. The first half the Marions
had everything their own way, the locals
getting the ball two or three times but
being held for downs and compelled to
kick. The half closed to 0 with the ball
about 10 yards from Woodbury's goal.
Woodbury. braced up in the second half
gaining some ground through tackles, and
it looked as though they would score a
touchdown, but in scrimmage Marion
player managed to get possession of the ball,
some spectators and players say by stealing
it after it was down, and placing it over
the goal line, Brodosen cutting deep
cash under his eye in a desperate attempt
at a diving tackle from behind.

A NEW DEPARTMENT
Bill to Establish Commerce
Secretaryship Considered.
HOUSE DISCUSSES PENSION BILL.
Rixcy of Virginia Causes sensa-
ton by Proposing to Open Ma
tionaI Soldiers Homes to
Ex-COnfederatcs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. - In the
senate yesterday Mr.. Nelson Of Mime
sofa called up the bill providing for
the establishment of a department of
commerce. He explained the necessity
which, he said, existed for the passage
of such measure and was piled with
questions by several senators, who said
that sufficient time had not been al
lowed for looking into,the merits Of
the measure.
Mr.. Teller criticised that feature re-
latipg to the transfer of the geological
survey, while Mr.. Hale said that the
bill provided for Il department which
ultimately would be one of the largest
in the government. The bill finally
went over, subject to call by Mr. Mel
son. The senate was in executive SEES
sion for an hour and half.
The house of representatives spent
the day in general discussion of the
pension appropriation bill, the first of
the annual budgets. The debate took a
wide range. Mr.. Grosvenor OF ono
and Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa denounced
report presented to the last G.. y. L..
encampment criticising the course or
themselves and other members OF con-
gress on the veteran preference Dill,
which was defeated at the last session.
They explained that their opposition
to the bill was due to the Incorporation
! in the bill of a clause which had not
! beeu Endorsed by the G. A. X. placing
veterans of the Spanish war in the pref
erential class. Mr.. Rixey of Virginia
caused something of a stir on the Dem
ocratic side by advancing proposition
to open the doors of national soldiers
homes to ex-Confederates and to fur
nish government aid to state Confeder-
ate homes.
Mr.. Richardson of Alabama was the
only Democrat who joined Mr.. RiXey
in support of it.
Hearings on the ELECTROMAGNETIC
bills were begun by the house commit
tee on agriculture. The bills under con-
sderation are similar to the so called
Grout bill and place a tax of 10 cents
per pound on substances colored to i'm
itate butter.
! The Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill
was received by the senate from the
house and referred to the committee on
interoceanic canals.

Arbitration Gains n Point.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 14.-Yester-
days session of the pan-American con-
ference closed in ripple of excite
ment which began with an amendment
looking to the suppression of the final
protocol in order, as formerly explain
ed, to enable the compulsory plan OF
arbitration TO be reported to the con-
ference. This amendment was carried
by thirty votes. Chile abstained from
voting. The vote excited great inter-
est, as it was forecast that the advo-
Gates of compulsory arbitration would
have their way in insisting that the
plan be reported to the conference. The
suppressing of the final protocol was
the removal of an obstacle.

ALBANY, y. Y, Jan. 13.-The an
nual report of Colonel John NJ. Par
fridge, former superintendent of public
works, says:
The Erie, Champlain, Oswego and
| Cayuga and Seneca canals opened to
navigation on May I and the Black
River canal June l. The dates set
for their closing was Nov. 30. The
opening date was more than two
weeks later than the previous season
and yet Il comparison of the figures
representing the amount of business
actually done on the canals this year
with last will show that there was al
! increase in tons of 74,672. a compare
son of the figures week by week this
year with the previous year will show
that the increase which started at the
very opening of the season was main
tanned to the last.
"The total tonnage on all canals was
3,420,G13 tons as against 3,345.041 tons
the previous year, the increase in tons
being 74.G72. OF the total freight car
ried 2.27G,199 tons went eastward and

PRINCE HENRY.

representative and will be able to ex-
press to you once more my sincere
feelings and friendship for the United
States and their illustrious head"
A dispatch from Berlin says that the
length of Prince lIenry's stay in the
United States is undetermined and will
depend in part upon the wishes of
President Roosevelt and the pro-
gramme for his entertainment. The
sending of Prince Henry to America is
regarded by the court as another evil
dence of the cmperor's desire to win the
good will of the American people and
government for Germany. In the last
few weeks the emperor has shown to
ambassador White-and to Mrs White
various marks of his consideration and
has sent to President Roosevelt Il per-
Bonal letter expressing his esteem and
later requested that the presidents
daughter christcn his majestys new

SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS.
Expedition to Loboo Wrought Havoc.
A LuzOn Town Destroyed.

MANILA, Jan. 13.-News received
from Batangas province is cheerful.
The expedition to Loboo, in Batangas,
has been complete success. The col
umns under Colonels Whit and Wells
have destroyed large number of bar.
racks and hamlets and enough rations
to keep 10000 Fiiipinos for six months.
There was not a single American cas-
ualty during the entire expedition. The
enemy fled from before the Americans.
Many of them were killed, and several
surrendered.
Major Henry Allen, formerly govern
or of the island of Leyte and now chief
of the insular constabulary, who has
been making a tour of inspection
through the islands of Leyte and Min
danao, has returned to Manila and re-
ports that the native constabulary is
fully able to control the situation in the
province of Misamis, in northern Min
danao, where Major Allen thinks the
situation has been much exaggerated.
Previous reports concerning this
province caused Generals Davis and
Wade to request that it be returned
from civil to military control.
With the exception of the church, the
entire town of Quingua, in Buacan
province LuZon, was burned to the
ground. and thousands of Filipinos
have been rendered homeless.
Commissioner Bernard Moses, head
of the department of public instruction
for the islands, has delivered an ad-
dress to the teachers of Manila, in
which he particularly urged the con-
tinued instruction of Filipino children
in English.
