Washington, June 19.-The senate
today by a majority of votes adopt
ell the Spooner substitute for the
Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill, the
vote on the supplement being AZ
to 81.
After two amendments to the meas
ure had been adopted, one providing
fer commission to supervise the
construction Of the canal and the
other providing for the Issuance of
$3.50, 900, 900 of 2 per cent gold bonds
to raise money with which to con-

BOYD RELEASED
Succeeded in Making Bond This
Morning.

J. l.. Boyd, who has been in Jail on
a charge of burglary and in default
of 5000 bond, succeeded this morning
in making the required bond and is
now free man until circuit court
meets.
The publication III yesterday s
Progress of the destitute circum-
stances surrounding the Boyd fani-
ly brought Il ready response and
showed that there We're many kind
hearted people in this city, who
were unwilling to see wemen and
children suffer. The paper had been
on the streets but a few minutes
when 1915 was brought to the Office
for Mrs. Boyd. Another gentleman
sent her his check and doubtless
others have rendered timely assist
ance.
Nos that Mr.. Boyd is out of jail, it
is likely that he can himself provide
a support for the family.
Mrs. Boyd was very happy
woman when her husband was re-
leased from jail, for, like all good
and confding wives, sue had nc
doubt of her husbands innocense OF
the crime with which he was charg-
ed. Today there Is happiness in the
Boyd household where yesterday
there was nothing but want and

Dogs as scouts.

Captain Steele, OF the Sixth Infan-
try. after an experience OF the condi-
lions OF warfare in the Philippines
strongly urges that dogs should be att
tached to the army. In the Army and
Navy Journal he expresses the opinion
that dogs are the only scouts that can
secure a small detachment against
ambush on the trails through these
tropical juneles.
The bush is so dense that fankers
are out of the question: and the trails
are so crooked and over such rough
territory that the point. at one or two
hundred yards. is out of sight Of tho
main body The insurgents lying in
ambush usually or often. let the point
pass and open with a volley upon the
wagons and main body of the escort.
They open from apparently impenera-
bile jungle. and mt q range from thirty
to two hundred yards. They fire one
or two vollcys. then usually run away.
Sometimes never a man of them can
be seen.
The dogs pointers or hounds. would
need little training Their instinct for
hunting and smiling in every hole and
corner would be sufficient to justify
their use

The farmers of Massachusetts are
worth $50, GAG, TO4. and the percentage
OF income upon their investment is
1S.6. This is a part of the information
supplied by a census bulletin. which
proves that farming has not sunk into
1nnOcuOus desuetude in the Old Bay
State, even if Mr. Carnegie is worth
more than all the farmers put together.
Though the developments of recent
years have compelled changes in the
Industry, it is a mistake TO suppose
that they are all unfavorable. and to
associate them with sterile fields and
abandoned homes. For while the cuI.
tvation Of grain on large scale has
ceased, and there is less improved land
than there used to be. the gardeners
and hOrticulturists and dairymen are
making more money than their prede.
Cessors who raised cereals. The pro-
ductivc power of the average farm
