57TH CONGRESS-.
Quay Adopts New Tactics With
Statehood Bill.
Senate Passes Bill for General Staff
Corps for the Army.
Forecast for the Weeks Work in
House and Senate.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The omnibus
statehood bill will continue for the
present to hold it's place as the I'M
finished business on the Senate calen-
dar, but it seems quite probable that
the discussion of the statehood bill will
come up in connection with the appro-
priation bills. Senator Quay has en-
tirely changed his tactics during the
past week, and after trying in vain to
secure a quorum for night sessions on
two different occasions. has abandoned
all effort in that direction, leaving the
senators who oppose the statehood bin
to take the responsibility for the de-
lay. He now apparently is the least
concerned OF all the senators to Sc
cure late sessions. He makes no con-
fidants. but it is evident that it is his
purpose to make his fight in connection
with the appropriation bills and to Sc
cure his promises to vote for state
hood rider to one Of the appropriation
bills.
Thus far there has been no delay on
any supply measure account of the
statehood debate. but there will be q
decided effort to attach the statehood
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill. 1t is expected that the
amendment will be ruled out on q
point of order in which event there
will be an appeal from the decision of
the Chair. 1t is quite possible. how
ever. that the question may be sub
mitted to the Senate without ruling
by the Chair. This plan has been pur-
sued in other cases and has been found
of the omnibus statehood bill intend
to seek to add the statehood bill to
more than one of the appropriation
bills.
Senator Cullom will attempt to Sc
cure consideration of the Cuban treaty,
but until the statehood bill shall be dis
posed of. all speculation as to what
may be done With the other questions
is idle.
The antitrust bill which was sched-
uled for early consideration in the
House. this week, will not come up
until late in the week if at all and
possibly may be postponed until next
week. The friends of the currency bill
are exceedingly anxious to get consid-
GRAFTON for it and rule has been pre-
pared. If it finally should be decided
to allow the currency bill to come in
after the post office appropriation bill
is disposed Of the antitrust bill would

and Republicans have been comforting

The Babies in Summer.
ON the Philadelphia Ledger.


AS we enter upon the hot summer months
the mortality tables in all our American
cities show always an increasing number of
deaths from cholera infantum-the sum
mer complaint of popular speech. 1t is
not without reason that mothers dread the
period of extreme heat, especially in the
crowded parts of the town. in the narrow
streets and in the heated houses where 1t
is so hard to keep the baby cool and clean
and secure from foul air and bad food. 1t
used to be thought that the heat alone
accounted for much of the infant mortality
in summer, and undoubtedly continued heat
does tell upon the babys vitality. Too
great care cannot be taken to keep 1t as
much as possible in the fresh air, lightly
clothed and protected from the sun and
from the flies. If 1t be not possible to take
the baby to the country. the park or even
the nearest city square will do much for IT.
But mothers ought to understand that
cholera infantum Is not caused by heat
alone. 1t does not come in the air. It
mainly comes with the food-improper food
or stale or dirty food. The milk Is re-
sponsible for much Of It: the nursing bot
tle with the uncleaned tube. for even more.
And the mother who allows her child to
eat Of stale or unripe fruit-or fruit of any
kind without great caution-has only hae-
self to blame for the result.

HYMEN AS A SNOWMAN.
Spectacular Features Characterize the

Some recent so-called fashionable" we'd

that we shall consider them in this month

legislature representing the second assem-

Roosevelt was at Albany. and there the

when he received his appointment from

Short Course in Assaying.

The state college school of min
ing will give short winter course
in assaying, beginning just after the
holidays, Jan. 4. The mining de-
partment was established in 1892 in
pursuance to law directing the col
lege to give instruction in mining,
and has been conducted ever since.
For several years it has been GUS
tomary to give to mining men and
prospectors the opportunity of study
and the use of equipment during the
winter months, which is sort of
vacation for many mining men.
The facilities are excellent at the
college. One of the chief parts Of
this short course is assaying, but
the opportunity of seeing other
work and machinery and apparatus
is likewise useful. The college has
one building devoted exclusively to
mining. In this has been placed
machinery for ore dressing and ore
reduction, giving to the plant the
facilities Of sampling works. There
have been installed Gates rotary
crusher, pair of 9x4 inch rolls for
fine crushing, screens, a Whitley
concentrator, a three compartment
Hartz jig, and Frew vanner. The
ore bins are i'll the upper story of
the building, which is placed on
hillside, the ore dressing apparatus
on the middle floor and the reduct-
ion apparatus on the lower floor.
On the latter are installed two
stamp mill, cyanide plant and a
water jacket smelter. Power for
operation is supplied by so horse
power motor.
Royal P. Jarvis, M. E., the head
of the mining department, is grad
uate of the Colorado school of mines,
Golden, Colorado, and the Columbia
school of mines. He has had six
years of practical experience in the
mining districts of Colorado, New
and Old Mexico and South Amer
lea. He is thoroughly practical
mining man who has had charge
OF important work. Professor Scion
Shedd, the well-known geologist,
will have charge of the work in
blowpipe analysis and in geology
and mineralogy. Professor Fulmer,
head of the department of chemistry
and state chemist of Washington,
will direct the work of qualitive an
alysis. The tuition will be free in
the short course, a deposit being re-
quired for the material used in the
work The large geological and
neurological collection of the col
lege will be very useful to members
of the short course for purposes Of
comparison. The college is issuing
a circular giving the details of this
course, which will be of great inter
est to mining men and prospectors.

Lynching Frustrated.

Whitesboro, Tex, August, 13.-
exodus of negroes has resulted from
an attempt at lynchipg which was
frustrated here last night. A negro
named Brown, who was under arrest
for attempting to assault white
woman, was hanged to mob to a
tree, but was rescued by the Sheriff
and posse.
The negro was unconscious when
rescued and the Sheriff arrived just
in time to save him. The mob be-
lieving they had accomplished their
purpose retired as the Sheriff and
posse approached. In the meantime
the negroes were so terrorized that
they began to leave, fearing that the
mob, having been prevented from
killing Brown, would attack them gen
orally as there is much feeling among
white people.

The seaboard's Deal.

The fact that the Seaboard, the

practically cemented their interests is
of considerable interest to Columbia,
says the Evening Record Of the 18th

terday and is the direct outcome OF
building the Seaboard's Birmingham
line, an extension costing over $50, 900
q mile.
MIR. W. b. Lyles, the district at
torney for the Seaboard, when seen
today in regard to the deal stated
that in his opinion, it was one OF the
best moves made in railroad circles
in years. It practically means, he
said, that the road is on more solid
and secure basis than It has been for
sometime, and while the Seaboard
