WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, November Q, 1s


The fifty-eighth congress began itt
session to-day, and from now. on un.
til the politicians return home next
spring to prepare for the presidential
struggle, Washington affairs will mo.
nopolize the attention of our public
men. The first legislative battle will
be over the Cuban reciprocity legisla-
tion, and although there is hardly any
doubt about the passage of the bill to
render the treaty effective, the de-
bates on the subject will be very
sharp, especially as they will involve
discussion of the tariff. The repub-
licans will probably encourage tariff
talks, as they believe the people are
with them on this question, and also
that it will prevent, to certain ex-
tent, discussion of the scandals in
the government departments, out of
which the democrats wish to make
political capital. Foreign affairs, es-
pecially the revolution in Panama and
the possible hostility of Columbia to
esting debates in the senate, which
will, no doubt, consider also the Chi
nese commercial treaty, the benefits
of which are being threatened by Rus
sia's action in Manchuria.
The most interesting members of
the senate from now until the presi-
Dental candidates are decided upon
will be Hanna and German, both of
whom, since the recent election, are
considered to be presidential possibil-
titles.
Secretary Hitchcock has received
the report of Sanford b. Dole, ex-
governor of Hawaii, on conditions in
the territory. The production of su-
gar continues to increase, but that of
rice has fallen off, owing to the COM
petition of new rice fields in Texas
and Louisiana and to the diminishing
number of Chinese in the territory.
A slight tariff on coffee is advocated,
as the Hawaiian planters cannot com
pete with the coffee imported from
the United States and elsewhere. The
population of the territory is very
mixed, made up of Hawaiians, Portu-a
gese, japanese, Chinese. Scandanavi-
ans, Spaniards, Britons, Americana
and Germans. Intermarriage between
white men and Hawaiian women Is
very frequent, and the offspring is,
as rule, an Improvement over the
pure Hawaiians in thrift and business
enterprise. Unless there is an in
creased immigration from America
there is grave danger from the numer-
ical inferiority of the Anglo-Saxon
element. The territory is likely to
come into the complete coxtrol Of the
Orientals.

The coon supper at the Springs
House last Thursday evening did not
have as large an attendance as it
would have had if the notice of the
same had not been SO short. Those
| attending were all enthusiastic in
their praise of the feast. During the
smoke talk after the supper many COM
plimentary remarks were made in re-
gard to the house, Manager Savage
and his wife and the proprietor, Wal
ter Scott. The courses were all finely
cooked and nicely served. There is
talk of having one or more game sup

a larger attendance.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisth themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork istoe
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

story told by MIR, Scott, Horn was a
decent citizen. or was posing us such,
at the time he lost the revolver. In
the fall of 1900 couple of meE brought
n lot of horses to the Mil Iron ranch
and asked to have them pastured. They
agreed to the terms offered and drove
away. That was the last ever seen OF
them.
MIR. Scott waited until January of
1901. and then he looked up the brands
ON the horses and discovered they be-
longed to owners In Wyoming. He
wrote TO them and In response Horn
appeared In February. The horses. he
said. had been stolen from different
Wyoming ranches and dillgent

discover their whereabouts. The first

FIRING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN
TROOPS AND STRIKERS PICKETS

Denver, March l0.-A Republican
special from Colorado Springs last
night says:
Shortly after o'clock tonight an
apparently concerted assault was made
on the Standard and Telluride plants,
the Portland mill being unmolested,
partly by virtue of its isolation.
During the afternoon threats were
made. according to information that
reached brigade headquarters. by the
strikers, that violence would be resort
ed to to prevent further work at the
mills and that an attempt would be
made to intercept the entire midnight
shift at the Portland mill and possibly
to take possession of the plant.
AS result the guard was doubled
at this point and sentries put out an
additional 100 feet all around the plant.
Colonel James II. Brown, accompa-
MED by detachment of fourteen SEN
tries. visited the executive committee in
the union headquarters, found Charles
Burr, l.. N. Edwards. president of the
Millmen's Union, and seven other
members of the union. and informed
them that threats had been made;
placed picket of fourteen men about
the union headquarters and informed
Edwards that he would hold him per-
sonally responsible for any outbreak.
The pickets allowed free access to the
headquarters, but took careful note OF
what transpired.
Shortly after l o'clock sentry at
Camp Peabody at the Standard mill,
halted man who was trying to creep
through the lines. The man refused to
stop and was fired upon. He escaped,
but during the exchange of shots at
the Telluride mill few minutes later

has not been discovered.
A few minutes after the first skir-

was fired from the brush into the pump
house of the Telluride plant, passing
within six inches of the pumpman's S
head.

Unhurt, he returned the fire. and a
score of deputies and militiamen. both
