Variety in Horse Food.

Some horses will eat at all times
and consume almost any quantity OF
food without appearing to improve in
condition, although they may not be
doing much work. Horses differ, and
what is best for one may not give as
good results with others. Good groom
ing is an important matter, but there
is not as a rule sufficient variety in
the food of horses. While oats will
continue. to be a standard food for
horses, yet a small allowance Of lin
seed meal and corn fodder will also
be relished and give excellent results
Hay and fodder viii prove superio,
to hay alone.

INGALLS, IN CONFERENCE.
President Melville Z. Ingalls,. of the Big
Four. was here most of the day yesterday
and attended morning conference OF the
railroads at Mr.. Malotts office. He did not
attend the meeting of the grade-crossing
commission in the afternoon. His absence
was said TO be due to the necessity for MS
speaking at Peoria, ILL.,, last night, and that
a confusion of arrangements had prevented
his appearing before the commission. Al the
morning conference he read both the bill
introduced by Mayor Bookwalter and the
one prepared by the railroad attorneys. II
was reported that, after being advised OF
all the steps, he approved the attitude Oh
the roads. The developments OF the iast
forty-eight hours are believed to have nao
influence in preventing mis- appearance De-
fore the grade-crossing commission.
The House committee on affairs OF lndl-
annapolis Will have open meeting TINS
morning TO hear the interests involved In
the mayors bill. As some OF the interests
may not be able to be heard this morning
another meeting may be held Monday morn
ing. Mayor Bookwalter will be before the
committee, and the attorneys for several
railroads will be present. The railroads
say they will not accept the mayor DILL
Their own measure, wnen it appears. may
be revision of the mayors bill with other
matter added Ii was understood last night
that the railroads had offered 10 accept a
bill that would in simple way authorize
the city to enter into contract Tor the
separation of grades, providing the bill
restricted all the work contracted for TO a
period of ten years That is, after the city
and the roads had reached an agreement
as to what work should be done there
should be no new work ordered within ten
years. 1t was admitted by railroad attor-
neys that the measure they would probably
finally stand on would be no more COM
prehensive than that. In case the present
grade-crossiAg commission failed to evolve
a plan that would be agreed to then the
city could prepare itself for the effort 10
secure unrestricted power to compel eleva-
tion in the next Legislature.
The railroads figure that they will be able
to defeat the mayors bill in the Legislature
and this will leave the city without any
thing to stand on for two years. But they
also figure that these two years will not be
spent uselessly by the city. and that when
the next Legislature meets the city will be

CARACAS, Venezuela, Feb. 20.--A revo-
reached point about twenty miles south
of Caracas. The revolutionists and the
government troops both occupy strong po-
sitions.
The revolution organized by General
Matos during the course of the blockade of
the Venezuelan coast by the allied war
ships was reorganized and three armies
formed One, under the command of An
tonic Fernandez, numbers 1,s0O men, and
was routed near Calabozo in the province
of Miranda, several days ago. and its chief
is now fleeing in the direction of the River
Apure. The second army, led by Generals
Matilda and Solagnie, LOO strong, was de-
feated last Wednesday near Urachiche.
The third army, commanded by Generals
Rolando, Penaloza and Vidal, which was
expecting to meet the first two armies, ar
rived yesterday by way of Santa Lucia and
Guarenas, at a point about ten miles from
Petare, which Is situated ten miles south
east of Caracas, after having lost 500 men
from desertion. The strength of this third
army is estimated at 2,S00 men. 1t has taken
up strong position, and the troops sent
against it by the government are also
strongly placed.
The revolutionary army is not believed
to be strong enough to attack, and If few
days are allowed to elapse without the
rebels taking the offensive against Presi-
dent Castro, who since the conclusion of
the blockade has been receiving reinforce
ments, it is regarded as certain that they
will be defeated.
PARIS, Feb 20-The correspondent of
the Matin at Caracas telegraphs that the
battle near Urashche, in which the revo-
lutionary Generals Mantilla and Solagnie
were defeated, lasted three hours. There
were many killed and wounded, and the
government troops captured one gun, many
rifles and much ammunition.
