Gainesville is the gateway to this un-
developed country. All the undeveloped
water powers are within it's confines.
The forests of hardwood, almost I'M

HOW THE END CAME
In THE SENATE
Senator Mason Consumed Much of the Closing
Day in Defeating Texas Bill

Washington, March 4.-The Senate
was called to order at 10 o'clock to-
day for the last sitting of the Fifty
seventh Congress, but business did not
begin until some time later. The de-
lay was due to the absence of a quo
rum and to the fact that Mr.. Cock
rell insisted upon the presence of the
necessary number before taking up the
work of the day.
Senator Allison, chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, made a
statement regarding the amount of
money appropriated by the present
Congress as compared with the APP
gress. The total appropriation for the
present Congress, he said, was $1,554,-
10S,5lS, as compared with $1,440, 4S9, 4SS
for the Fifty-sixth Congress.
Senator Allison said that while 1t
appears that the appropriations of this
Congress have been largely in excess
of those of the last Congress, the in
crease is chiefly made up of three
items, namely the $50,000,00 for the
Panama canal the increased appropri-
alton of $4,000, 900 for the postal service
and the river and harbor appropria-
tons. He concluded by saying that the
people of the country Endorsed these
items of increase, and that the opposite
political party concurred in them.
Senator Bailey of Texas called up a
bill amending the river and harbor act
so as to provide that the $125000 here
tofore appropriated for certain river
and harbor Improvements in Texas
shall be used for the construction of a
channel in Sabine Lake. Texas.
On yea and nay vote, demanded by
Senator Mason, the Senate agreed to
take the bill up, Al to 9. The effect
of the vote was to displace the Philip
pine tariff bill. 1t was then temporarily
laid aside and Senator Hoar spoke on
the failure to pass the Philippine bill.
The point he made, he said, was that
the Senate, the executive, the House

of Representatives, and the public, are
not fit to govern the destinies of
people 5000 miles away. who have no
voice in the government.
1T is the first great object lesson"
he said, 'of the Indebtedness, the in
iquity of what the American people did
two years ago in regard to these peo-
ple."
Senator Lodge made vigorous reply
to Senator Hoar, in which he said he
did not agree with him in the view
that the American people are not able
to deal with the great problems in the
East.
II believe they are thoroughly able
to deal with 1t as they dealt with
greater and mightier problems before"
said Scnator Lodge.
Continuing, he said 1t was a great
misfortune that the Philippine tariff
bill had failed
Senator Mason took the floor and
talked of the Panama canal and of
other matters. He urged that the
rules of the Senate be amended, and
called attention to the ancient snuff
boxes in the Senate. 1t goes with the
rules. he said, because it is a part of
the dignity of the Senate, and, he add
ed, amid laughter, Like the rules, the
snuff boxes are as Interchangeable as
the stars"
Senator Allison reported that the
President had nothing further to COM
municate, and that Mr.. Roosevelt mad
said: IF it is in order, 1 would like
to say that l congratulate the two
houses of Congress upon the admirable
work performed during this session.
AS Senator Mason had just been ar
! raigning the Senate for it's failure to
! pass necessary legislation, a litter
went around the Senate, which broke
| into laughter in which everybody
| joined.

was frustrated by Senator Macon, who

ton Question.

~@S"Ah ~ AS ~ NOtc On Nhe A-EOhhDh-
ton Question.
Barlow, Fla, March 4.-The temper
ance people of Polk county are tax
ing steps to bring on an election on
the prohibition question, growing out
of the decision of Judge Wall to the
effect that the prohibition laws of the
county We're null and void, owing to a
technicality, the returns having been
canvassed by the canvassing board and
not by the County Commissioners.
Petitions are being circulated
throughout the county, and as soon
as the requisite number of signatures
have been secured, a special meeting
of the County Commissioners will be
called and the election ordered. A
leading temperance worker informed
the correspondent this morning that
the election would be held just as ear
ly as possible. This will be the fourth
or fifth time Polk county has voted
on the whisky question.
News comes here to the effect
that DIR. John Patterson of Auburn
dale, while suffering from mental aber-
ration, wandered away from his room
at night. and when he was found he
was in a little cottage a mile from
home, having taken every rag of his
clothing off. From the condition of his
clothing it is believed he waded into
one of the lakes nearby up to his neck.
He is over so years of age, and one of
the prominent men of the county.

said He Confessed to Spite His Sis
ter and Her Husband.
Hamilton, o., March 4.-The body of
Hannah Goddard Knapp, the fifth of
Knapp's victims, was placed in the
morgue here to-day. Knapp said to-
day the reason he confessed under
what is considered comparatively
slight pressure was to spite his sister,
Mary King, and her husband.
They told on me-" said Knapp,
land as they seemed to be looking for
disgrace, / thought I'd let 'em have
all they wanted and a little more to
show good will.'
About noon to-day the fourth wife
of Knapp, Annie Gamble. arrived here
from Indianapolis and was driven to
the Jail. She cried bitterly and asked
Knapp if his confession of the horrible
murders was true. He answered in the
affirmative.
Because of his weakened condition it
has been decided not to confront the
prisoner with the body of Hannah
Goddard.
