Columbia River snd improvements Along

But Leaders AIRS for Economy,

Washington, Dec. 16.-The fact that
the river and harbor committee OF the
house today held preliminary meet
ing and decided to enter upon series
Of hearings Of representatives from the
leading states Of the United States that
are in need of further appropriations
for their harbors and waterways, ig
taken to indicate that river and har-
Dor bill will be passed at the present
session. The opinion generally pre-
walls, however, that such bill to Sc
cure approval of the house leaders,
must make comparatively small APP
preparation, and provide principally for
continuing work previously begun,
which would include all Columbia river
improvements not taken care of in the
sundry civil bill, as well as the more
important work along the Oregon coasts
that are now in course of construction.
1t is probable the bill will make pro-
vision for surveys, but very little in
the way of out and out new appropria-
tiOns.

rxRIoArloN LAW GOOD ENOUGH.


Washington, Dec. IL. -- Secretary
Hitchcock has transmitted to the house
report Of the reclamation service,
showing the work done and in progress
towards retaining arid lands during
"the season OF 1907 The secretary
says:
'sThe director has stated that prac-
tical application Of the provisions Of
the law during the one and one-half
years of its existence has proven most
effective and so far as can be forseen at
the present time no further legislation
is required, the present law having
been found to be of such scope as to ac-
complish its purpose of reclamation"
The report shows that whilo exam
nations and surveys have been made
in all sections of the arid region, Me-
vada is the only state where actual con-
struction has begun, and Arizona the
only territory. In. other states and ter
ritories, plans and specifications are in
various stages of progress, and the
work is being pushed.
The irrigation fund, accumulated
from the sale of public lands in the Is
states and three territories to which
the irrigation act applies, now amounts
to total OF SIG, 191 1886. This fund
has been accommodating in the treasury
since 1901.

London, Dec. 16.--General William
II. Carter, of the United States army
who has been investigating the re.
mount system Of the British army,
with view to reporting TO the general
staff OF the United States army, had q
farewell interview with IL. 0. Arnold
Foster, British secretary OF war, yester-
day. lie will leave England tomorrow
for the Transvaal.
Every facility has been afforded Gem
eral Carter here and he expresses his
appreciation of the friendly spirit OF
the war officials, and especially OF the
remount bureau, which arranged for
his investigations. At Aldershott a
squadron OF the celebrated Fourteenth
Hussars and battery of the horse ar
tillery were paraded before General
Carter, who highly praised these or
CARNATIONS and particularly the quality
of their horses.
The general thinks the excellence of
the British cavalry and horse artillery
is due to the system of supplying re-
mounts and to the efficiency OF the
corps OF riding masters.
General Carter visited Woolwich and
Sandhurst. He does not think these
establishments compare very favorably
with the military academy at West
Point, but he says the results obtained
are more satisfactory.

TURKEY BLAMHs CONSUL.


Constantinople, Dec. 12.-The Turk
ish official report of the affair at Alex
andretta, complained of by the United
States consul, W. R. Davis, has been
telegraphed here by the governor OF
Beirut, Syria, as follows;
"Attarian, native of Kharput, who
has for some years been abroad, recent
ly re-entered the country secretly and
has been travelling in the interior with
Turkish passport. On his arrival
lately at Alexandretta, Attarian
claimed the protection of the American
consul and asked for his assistance to
enable him to embark for Egypt. Mr..
Davis accordingly notified the authori-
ties, but the latter insisted that the
sanction of the governor must be OBJ
tanned and the usual formalities be car
ried out such as photographing Altar
ian. Mr.. Davis refused to tolerate the
delay, and attempted to embark Altar
ian by force. The police arrested At
tartan at the quay, whereupon Mr..
Davis, aided by his military couriers,
struck the policemen, who were wound
ed in the faces, and afterwards attempt
ed to force an entrance into the guard
house, breaking windows and doors, but
unavailingly. Thereupon Mr.. Davis
threatened that unless Attarian was re-
leased and allowed to embark within
four hours, he would himself leave.
Not receiving satisfaction, Mr.. Davis
embarked for Beirut"

London, Dec. 12.-No further news
has been received here showing that
the reported arrival of Russian SQUAD
ron at Chemulpo has any significance
beyond that indicated in recent dis.
patches. The names of the vessel,
which have arrived at Chemulpo are
not given.
Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
from Toxic and Nagasaki under date d
wednesday do not even mention the ar.
rival OF the squadron at the Corean
port. The Telegraph's correspondent
states that the situation has undergone
no change except for an increase in
the tension due to the protracted nego.
slatlons. They also report that the
Japanese government is buying war
materials abroad.
the Daily Mail s Toxic correspondent
says 1t is reported by the Chinese rem
resentative in Thibet that the Russians
are building two forts.

RIOT ON STREET CAR.


Chicago, Dec. 14.-In a riot on Hal.
sted street, near Archer avenue, grow.
ing out of the recent street-car strike. a
non-union conductor and non-uniou
motorman were attacked by mob and
their car partially wrecked. The
trouble started when the passengers
several of whom were women, refused
to pay their fares because the con.
ductor did not wear union button,
The conductor stopped the car and an.
nounced it would not start again until
the fares were paid. While several
of the passengers seized and roughly
handled the conductor, one forced the
motorman at the point of revolver to
proceed.
The conductor probably owes his life
to Policeman John O'Hara, who, quick.
ly grasping the situation, rushed the
former to private residence near by
and throwing open the front door
forced him inside. Then appearing at
front window with drawn revolver
the policeman threatened to shoot any
one who attempted to enter. After
driving the car for several blocks the
motorman leaped to the ground and
ran, pursued by crowd of men and
boys. The crowd, finally, failing to re-
capture either of the fugitives, re-
turned to the car and partially wrecked

DECIDE ON POLICY TOWARD CUBA.
The Democrats VIII Not Offer Any
Amendments to the Bill.

Washington, Dec. 15.--The Demo-
cratic senator's, In caucus, practically
reached the conclusion not to offer any
amendments to the Cuban reciprocity
bill, when it is voted ON in the senate.
The caucus was called at the instance
Of the Democratic steering committee,
which presented recommendation
against amendments on the ground
that il offered they, and not the bill
itself, would be made the basis of dis
cussion. The caucus was an animated
one, and was sharply divided on the
point at issue, some of the senator's
contending that numerous amendments
should be presented, and others holding
out against any effort whatever to
change the character of the bill and
standing for straight party vote
against it. The caucus continued until
after the beginning of the regular daily
session Of the senate and in the end the
committee won its point.
The general trend of the discussion
was favorable to the point that the
steering committee should be sustained,
and even the senators favoring amend
ments agreed, after the close of the
conference, that the anti-amendment
policy had been practically decided ON
when the Berry amendment was voted
down.

PAY OF 100000 CUT.


New York, Dec. 16.-The statement
was made today by leading official of
the United States steel corporation
that, beginning January l, 1904, about
80 per cent of the employees of the cor
poration will suffer wage reductions
ranging from to 20 per cent. This
reduction will affect about 100. 900
workmen in the various grades of the
subsidiary companies. The remaining
10 per cent of the employees are mem
oers OF the Amalgamated association of
iron, steel and tinworkers, whose wage
schedule runs to July l, 1904. The
finance committee of the steel CORPORA
ton has, it is understood, under consid-
Grafton the dismissal of many high sal
aried employees, in addition to those AL
ready discharged, but no statement on
this point was forthcoming today. II
was ascertained that, barring some un-
forseen teehnicalities, employees of the
corporation who participated in the
profit sharing plan will, in the coming
month, receive IS dividend.

The coming of General Bell to Wash
ington, while it has more or less to do
with matters connected with the gem
eral staff college, is admitted by Off
GERS of the general staff to be for the
purpose of consulting with the officials
regarding a probable campaign against
Colombia should that country continue
the movement of troops toward the 18TH
mus. 1t was intimated that matters
had reached the point where troops
might be moved at any time, which
would seem to indicate that the depart
ment is in possession of information
the nature of which justifies actual
preparations for the movement of
United States troops toward Parma.
Although the fact would not be dis
closed the presumption is that in the
event OF troops being sent, General Bell
will be put in comand.

BATHS ARB KILLING PEOPLE.
Chicago Professor Holds They Are the
Cause of r1uch Sickness.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-When people
leave off bathing there will be little
or nothing for doctors to do. Pneu-
monia, colds and hundred other ills
result from the foolish habit of wash
ing the body.
"To battle is to be dirty, for you
thereby make sewer of the skin.
The blood gives up products that
should be left to lake natural outlet,
and soils the skim"
The foregoing declarations made by
Prot John Dill Robertson at the an
nual meeting of the Chicago Eclectic
and Surgical society, at the auditor
ium, have aroused the interest of the
members. Professor Robertson as
serted that the theory that the closing
OF the pores OF the skin would result in
death is false. He said all physiolo-
glsts making such an assertion were
wrong. The habit OF taking "dry"
baths was also denounced.
