mate of New Orleans.
From New Orleans Times-Democrat
X-ray apparatuses, not a few of
which have been installed in New Or
leans, are little cranky
about climatic conditions, In
this section, and during the
hot seasoa the owners of some of
the finer and more highly tensioned
machines have been forced to use a
considerable quantity of ice in order
to keep these wonderful machines from
sweating themselves to death.
The main trouble, meteorologically, is
with the humidity.
10 The instruments are in the habit OF
becoming too moist, little watery bulbs
accommodating at points where they in
terfere with the delicate mechanism OF
the apparatus. Drying processes have
been escorted to In order to protect the
instruments. Chloride of calcium has
been used extensively, but in some In
stances it has been found unsatisfac-
tory.
Ice has been found to be much bet
ter, BY refrigerating processes the
temperature is equalized and the ap-
paratuses are kept in a normal state.
The use of ice protects the powerful
x-ray producers from becoming too
moist and has solved a problem which
perplexed local operators no little when
they found that chloride of calcium
did not answer the purpose. The ice Ia
put into the cabinet with discretion
and in proper quantities, and the re-
suits in every instance have proved
satisfactory.

THE HEATHEN CH|N[E.
Senate Committee Hears the Arguments
for and Against Exclusion of
Chinese.
Gompers Says the Pending Bill Meets
the Approval Of La1,er and Coast
Interests.
Representatives of Asiatic Association
and Boston Chamber Of Com.
merce Oppose.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The senate
committee on immigration gave hear
ing during the day to representative
of various interests upon the question
of Chinese immigration. Samuel
Gompers, the first speaker, outlined
the efforts which the Federation of La
Dor had made in connection with the
Pacific coast delegation in congress to
perfect a bill which would secure a
continuance of Chinese exclusion and
this had been accomplished in what is
known as the Mitchell bill.
John Foord of the Asiatic associa-
tion spoke in opposition to the bills
and presented statistics of trade be-
tween China and the United States.
He urged postponement of any ac-
tion by congress looking to Chinese
exclusion until the expiration of the
present treaty in 1904. 1--WE are all in
terested in being on good terms with
China" he said, "and should treat her
with some degree of consideration
and some decent regard for interna-
tional facts"
Charles B. Hamlin presented reso-
luton Of the Boston chamber of COM
merce advocating the Proctor bill con-
tinuing in force the present Chinese
exclusion law until the expiration of
the existing treaty with China in 1904
| and urged that no bill be adopted in
consistent with that treaty, because,
he said, that treaty involves the

Supreme Recorder of the Legion Of
Honor Suicides.

Ftonor SUICIDES.
st. Louis, Jan. 22.-William F. Hoff:
meister of st. Louis, formerly supreme
recorder of the Legion of Honor, col,l-
:nitted suicide at the Planters hotel by
shooting himself with revolver.
George M. Ackley of Kansas City,
former supreme overseer of the Legion
of Honor, who shared the room with
Hoffmeister, stated that he was in the
bathroom adjoining the sleeping COM
partment when Hoffmeister shot him
self with Ackley's revolver. He says
he believed Hoffmeister killed himself
because he was defeated in his can
didacy for reelection to the Office of
supreme recorder.
i "Hoffmeister was drinking" said
Ackley, land he told me there would
be, trouble. knew he had a revolver
and / took it from him and locked ii
up. My own revolver was in my valise
and it was the weapon with which he
shot himself
George w. Teasdale,, an intimate
friend OF the dead man, said:
II wish to contradict a rumor which
has already become current relating te
Mr.. Hoffmeister's accounts. His &C
counts were investigated by the execu
tive committee and the auditing com
mittee of the supreme council anc
were found to be IN good shape"
Mr.. Hoffmeister was 40 years of age
He had held the Office Of supreme re
corder of the order for 13 years. His
wife is at present in New York city
where she is visiting relatives.

WEST VIRGINIA FIRES.
Seven Lumbermen Cremated and ;
Town Burning Up.

Seven Lumbermen Cremated and a
Town Burning Up.
Fairmont, W. Va, Jan. 22.-Seven
men cremated in their beds and town
burning up are the results thus far of
two fires in distant parts of the state.
Details of both occurrences are
meager. The fire at Shinnston started
just before noon and telegraph and
telephone connection has been cut off.
The town is a thriving settlement on
the Monongahela division of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, and is in the
center of a big coal and lumber dis
trict. 1t is without fire protection and
early reports say that within few
minutes after the fire started the citi-
zens were obliged to abandon their
efforts to check the flames and flee for
their lives.
There have been no reports of cas-.
ualties from Shinnston.
The lumber camp holocaust occurred
at Camp No. s, operated by the Otte:
Creek Lumber company, at 4 a. m
Details of the disaster are not yet OBJ
tainable, but it is known that seven
men were burned to death and mum
Der were injured in jumping from the
building in which they were sleeping
The camp is 13 miles off the West Vir.
ginia Central railroad.

OPPOSES IRRIGATION.
Speech of sibIey of Pennsylvania in
the House.


Washington, Jan. 22.-The house,
without preliminary business, went
into committee of the whole and re-
sumed the general debate upon the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill.
Mr.. Sibley (Pa.) made general
speech in opposition to- the govern
ment entering at this time upon a
scheme for the irrigation of the arid
lands in the West.
Mr.. Sibley said every one who had
witnessed the tests knew the wonder.
fu! productive results of irrigation, but
he believed the whole question was fot
another generation. Members repre-
senting an agricultural constituency
should oppose measure which in
volved the expenditure of untold mill
lions to be taken by taxation from all.
He spoke of the decline in value Of
farm lands in Eastern, Middle and
Southern states, yet this was a propo-
sition to open up hundreds of millions
of acres more to be in open competi-
ton with these farms. 'Let us wait"
said Mr.. Sibley, until our increased
population shall so expand that these
lands shall be needed to meet the de-
mand for greater food supply"
Mr.. Newlands (Nev), an earnest ad-
vocate of the irrigation of arid lands,
replied to Mr.. Sibley. He explained
the provisions of the bill which it was
proposed to present to the house to
show that it would not create charge
ON the public treasury, but would en-
ploy only the fund raised from the sale
of arid lands for the work of recla-

TO AVOID DISGRACE.
Members Of an Indian Family Commit
Suicide.

Members Of an Indian Family Commit
Suicide.
Kirby, Mon, Jan. 22.-The Lame
deer tragedy was one of the most pc
culiar incidents of recent times among
Indians. Family honor and tradition
were involved. a \
White was a Northern Cheyenne.
Bullard, the man he killed, was an In
dian policeman above the average in
intelligence.
White killed pony that had been
bitten by a wolf. Whites son invited
Bullard to supper, together with Little
Head and Wolfroad. They ate of the
meat and reported to the agency that
it was COW meat. 1t is against that
agency rules for an Indian to kill cat
tie. Bullard refused to be arrested for
shooting his own pony, and In the mix
up Bullard was killed by White
"A family council was then held and
it was decided that to avoid the dis
grace that would follow, the members
Of the family should commit suicide.
Whites squaW stabbed herself and
then cut her throat. The elder son
then shot his father, his brother and
himself.
At the funeral the situation assumed
serious aspect. The Indians held the
agent responsible for all the deaths,
and trouble was averted only by the
wise counsel Of a Cheyenne from Ok
lahoma, who was here visiting.

Attitude of the Filipinos is Becoming
More Friendly to the Ameri-
.ss% can People.
Active Warfare, He Says, is Nov
Confined to Two of the Provinces

San Francisco, Jan. 22.-W. H. Taft,
civil governor of the Philippine ISL
ands, who arrived here on the trahs-
port Grant, us quite ill, the Philippine
climate and the arduous duties he has
performed having told on his consti-
tuition. He feels that after few days
of rest in this city he will be strong
enough to undergo the trip east and
make his report to the secretary OF
war. Governor Taft says he hopes to
leave for the East on Thursday. He
says the war is confined to two prov
inces-Batangas and .Samar- and the
operations in Batangas occasionally
range into the neighboring provinces
of Tayabas and Laguna.
The governor says that General
Wheaton is doing splendid work in the
islands and that that officer assured
him shortly before he sailed that the
natives ofIthe. province Of Batangas
and it's vicinity would 3all be pacified
before the close Of next March. The
province Of Cebu and Bohol, until re.

ment. The present civil government
has been working with great zeal and
has far exceeded expectations, the gov
ernor says. The chief difficulty at
present is the lack of police protection
in the provinces. Small bands Of rob
bers still infest the back districts
They terrorize the natives and until
the strong arm of the law is able tt
suppress them absolute peace in the
islands will not be obtained.
The native Filipino police have
proved success. They are appointed
by the civil government and oficereG

and will remain in the United States
about two months. He will make ar
exhaustive report to the president or
present conditions in the Philippines
under the civil government and the
success of the pacifcation measures

LIKELY TO FALL THROUGH.
Combine Of Atlantic Lines Upset by
Action of One Company.


London, Jan. pa representative
OF the Associated Press has secured an
authoritative statement concerning the
rumored shipping deal which, while
confirming the amalgamation of sew
eral lines, reveals the fact that nego-
tiations towards combination are be-
ing conducted ON larger scale than
hitherto limited at. What has actually
happened is this:
Every line trading between England
and America, except one, has agreed to
form a freight combination upon a
basis considerably higher than the
rates at present in force That one
exception, however, threatens to up
set the prolonged negotiations, for Is
firms have withdrawn their previous
assent, declaring that unless this one
exception came in the combine would
be valueles.s. The line which has so
disarranged the calculations is prac-
cally unimportant and plies between
London and the United States
The extent to which the proposed
combination had attained can be judg-
ed from the fact that the Is with
drawals do not constitute SO per cent
of the firms interested. A representa-
tive of one of the lines most intimately
concerned said it looked as if the
whole plan would fall through, though
he admitted that strenuous efforts
would be made to persuade the back
sliders to come in again and leave the
unimportant exception to fight its own
battle. The objectors are chiefly com
posed of Liverpool and Glasgow firms,
who would not be directly affected by
the detection of the London concern.

'The discussion OF the project has
