Taking into consideration all the
talk that has been made against the
Panama canal treaty in the senate,
and thesfact that the president was
required to convene the senate in
extraordinary session to secure a vote
on 1t, there was something OF a sur
prise manifested when the final vote
! was taken Tuesday. Senator Morgan
trieds llfs best to talk the treaty to
death and for days held the floor, not
so much to say anything as to try
and prevent a vote. Other senators
engaged in the talking match with
a view to killing the measure. From
the many long speeches that were
made against the treaty the popular
belief had grown that when the sena-
tors voted on it that it would be de-
feated. Therefore the surprise was
the greater when the senate adpoted
the treaty with but five dissenting
votes. Morgan had a large number
Of amendments tackled onto the
treaty and these were voted down one
by one. The voting down of the
amendments then showed clearly the
fate Of the canal treaty. Only once
was there a test of the party vote,
and that was when Senator Money,
of Mississippi, presented his amend
ment, which contended for an impair
tial recognition Of all American
republics, urging that under the
language of the fourth article Of the
treaty Mexico would be left as the
only American republic to which the
avowal of non-encroachment could be
held as non. applicable. Money's
amendment was lost by a stlict party
vote, being 81 to 81. Thus it will be
seen that when the final vote on the
treaty was taken that the greater
majority Of the democrats voted for
it. The next measure that was
taken up in the extra session was
the Cuban treaty. 1t was expected
that the senate would finish its work
SO al adjournment could be had by
Thursday evening. While there does
not seem to be any doubt about the
passage of the Cuban traty, it is
understood that 1T will nave to be
ratified by congress before becoming
operative.

that they have consented to give

Bishop McCabe is known from one
end Of the country to the other as
the singing chaplain. a magnificent

ject and his presence will be an inspi-
ration among his people. Rev. Nj.
Mcdowell is the secretary of the
board of education of the Methodist
church, a position which brings him
into close relations with the leading
Methodists of the country. and to
have the sympathy and aid of a man
OF his standing will be OF i%ncalculable
benefit to the--institution.
DR.. Graham expects to have he

during the convention, and to accom-
modate so many it will-be- necessary

For the sake Of science.

ErTTE..E lsaNfe 80
Professor Angelo Mosso Of Turin, TIA.
", is well known FOR his many expert.
ments relating to human physiology.
The confidence that his scientific
knowledge inspires was recently Illus
trated by one Of his fellow citizens,
Signor Teodoro Scribante, who placed
himself unreservedly in Professor Mos
SOS hands for confinement in a her
metically sealed chamber where air
mixed with increasing quantities of
carbonic oxide was administered to
him.. When tie proportion Of carbonic
oxide to air rose to n part in 233,
signor Scribante fell into a catalepic
state, from which he was rescued with
the aid of oxygen. The object OF the
experiment was to determine how
much carbonic oxide in the air is fatal
to human life.

AIaska's Great Mountain.

The claim of Mount Mckinley, the
eliminating peak of the Alaskan range,
to be regarded as the loftiest point In
North America, is sustained by the re-
port OF an exploring party, made by
n Of its members, Mr.. A. II. Brooks.
The party made a journey of 300 miles
on foot in Alaska during the season
just passed. Mr.. D. L. Reaburn, the
topographer of the expedition, believes
that the measurements Of mountain
heights which were made have q prob
able er1or not exceeding 100 feet. Ae-
cording to these measurements Mount
McKinley's elevation definitely exceeds
10000 feet; that Of Mount Foraker ts
1900 feet.

room for them TO Des spread over a
great deal more surface Up and
down the residence streets one may
walk and admire the beautiful trees
that were ..planted..years ago and are
today.showing he:eyidence.. of album
dant growth. To the stranger in the
city there is nothing that appeals to
him so strongly as the abundance OF
shade trees in the residence portion.
1t to him is an evidence sof homelife
that is enjoyed by the occupant Of
the property, anda desire to beautify
nature to the fullest extent.
We were talking to a gentleman
the other day who owns four or five
vacant lots, and he said he had
just awakened to the thought that
his property would have an enhanced
value il he set out some trees on
them and placed a fence around the
property. This is q feature that
has been lost sight Of. In various
parts Of the residence portion Of
Mitchell the vacant lots have been
permitted to remain vacant by, tie
owners There isn't one of these lots
but what if five years ago the owners
had placed some trees on them they
would be worth a great deal more
money, and not only that but they
enhance the beauty Of the surround
.ings.
There is no town in the state that
can boast of anything better in the
way OF shade trees than Mitchell, but
it wants to be kept up every year.
and in the time to come those who
set out trees today will see what a
good thing they did for the town and
for their property as well. Arrange
to set out a dozen or more trees just
as soon as possible.
