The rIanual Training Schools.

There is much that can be said in favor of the pending bills providing for manual training and preparatory col legiate schools at different points in the territory. Especially meritorious is the measure providing for such a school at Prescott, Yavapai, one of the largest and most populous subdivisions of the territory, is one of the heaviest contributors to the territorial treasury, and there is not q territorial institu- ton in that county.
 The question, however, takes on a broader significance than a mere pro- posal to deal justly with the communi- ties which are heavy contributors of taxes. In order that the territorial university may become the great uni- versity which every loyal Arizonian wishes it to be, it is necessary that there be more preparatory schools. And most important of all, perhaps, is the manual training feature connected with the proposed institutions. The best capital young man or d young woman can possibly have, in addition to good general education, is a train ing such as can be had only in a good school of technology, And now is an excellent time to lay the foundations for giving such training to Arizona youth in Arizona.

The Possible Postponement of the St.
 Louis Exposition.

The country will learn with great surprise that further postponement of the St. Louis exposition is not only pos- sible, but probable. There has already been one postponemsnt of twelve months. the arrangements having been originally tht the exposition should open in April of this year. It was found impossible to get ready, and con- 1904
 special dispatches from St. Louis last Saturday gave the first intima ton of 2 possible further postponement until I9oo A number of reasons are suggest , ed for the proposed delay. It is stated that President Francis will return iron, his European tour next week. and will then announce that the nations of Europe desire to make exhibits sur passing anything before attempted by them in this country, and they cannot get ready by the spring of next year. It is given out, however, that the real reason is the inability of the exposition management to complete its prepara. tions. The plant to supply the exposl- ton With light, heat and power cannot be finished by the Westinghouse people, it is said; and in addition 10 this, the enormous demand for structural steel has so crowded the mills with orders that they cannot furnish construction material in time. It is also urged tha there are certain legal formalities to go through with before the city of St. Louis can furnish for buildings and im- provements the $5,OO0,O ,OOO it intends to give.
 It will undoubtedly be the greatest exposition the world has ever seen, and perhaps. as contended, the physical op- stacles are too numerous for the man. agement to overcome within. the time specified, but Chicago will never get through roasting St. Louis for being so slow. When the Chicago exposition was undertaken predictions were made on every side that Chicago could not get ready in time, but the windy city adopt ed T Will'' as her motto-and she go, there. As a matter of course, if the St. Louis exposition is postponed until 19Oj | it will necessitate the postponement of the Lewis and Clark exposition sched- | uled for Portland in the same year.

A Miracle of Modern Science.

It is now nearly three years since Miller Reese Hutchinson, young elec- trician of Mobile, Alabama, announced that he had invented a contrivance which would enable the deaf to hear. Since II en, from time to time, details have been given out concerning his progress in perfecting the invention, but the. general impression has been that the claims for it were exaggerated. Now. however, the Associated Press re- ports that some really successful exper> imerts have been made with the appar- atus in New York, and it is possible that MT. Hutchinson deserves to rank with the greatest inventors of the age.
 On Saturday last, it is state ], tie experiments referred to were made, in the presence of a large number of spec tators Three children, deaf, dumb and blind, were enabled to hear pianist play Sousa marches, and to hear the sounds of their own voices which had been uttered into a phonograph. The contrivance has been described as . hood, something like that worn by tele- ephone operators, comprising trans hitter and disks fastened over the ear. Sounds of slight volume are heard, and

DISCUSSING THE TREATY
 IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Democratic Senators Offered Many Amendments, but All Were
 Rejected.

Washington, March 16.-Immediately after the senate went into executive session today an order for the presenta- ton of the treaty amendments with fifteen-m minute speeches on them went into effect. There was a large attend ance of senators, both political parties having summoned their adherents in the senate to be present with a view of making the best showing In case of division on party lines. Consequently
 the roll calls of the day were we'll re- sponded to and the vote cast was larger than had been expected.
 The first vote was taken about forty minutes after the doors were closed, and came upon an amendment sug
 gested by Senator Pettus, providing that
 the treaty should not go into effect
 until it should be approved by congress.
 This amendment was voted down by
 large majority, all of the republicans
 and some democrats enrolling them
 selves against it.
 The amendment was in the language
 of an amendment of similar purport
 which had been raised by the commit
 tee on foreign relations to be added to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. In offer ing it Pettus made a brief statement, giving his reasons for the amendmen; which was found in the fact that the provisions of the treaty for the acqui
 sition of the canal zone do not corre- spond with the provisions of the law
 under which the treaty was made. In the law the provision is for the owner ship of the zone, while the treaty pro- vides for lease to be renewed per petually. The vote on the amendment offered by Senator Pettus resulted nine for to sixty against.
 Following the announcement of that
 ballot. Senator Morgan offered a num- Der of amendments of which he had given previous notice. but they were passed on adversely and without roll calls.
 One of these amendments was a de- claration to the effect that nothing con- tained in the treaty should be con- strued as invalidating the Spooner act. Another provided for the submission of
 the treaty to the French governmen, las a party interested in the treaty. Another provided for the reversion or railroad lands outside of the zone of Colombia and confirming Colombia g reservation shares in the new Panama | Canal company in accordance with the contract of 1890.
 There was only a slight discussion of the amendments, but Senator Morgan explained most of them to some extent. At one time the senate presented Il somewhat vacant appearance, which caused MT. Morgan to make a point

of no quorum, with the result that l large number of the sena tors were called into the chamber. Sixty nino answered to their names and pusine,s proceeded The senate then LOOK up Bacons amendment for the absolute control by the United States, and Mir Bacon addressed the senate Tn support of it.
 He was followed by other democratic senators, all favoring the Bacon amend ment. They were Teller, Clay, Nal lory, Morgan, Blackburn and Carmack. For the republicans, Platt of Connec- ticut, Allison, Cullom and Lodge op- posed the amendment. The democrats expressed the opinion that before it's completion the canal would cost not less than $500, ,000,0G0, and declared that so vast a sum could not be spent by this country without providing for the absolute and unconditional right to po- lice, control and defend the canal.
 The republican senators warmly de- tended the treaty as it stands, coll tending that it affords ample protec- tion to American interests. With the canal built by the United States and
 
 said Colombia would be compelled to defend it, but if that country should this task, then under the terms of the treaty she will be compelled to call on the United States for assistance. Moreover. in case of an emergency the United States could go to the defense
 If the canal without waiting for call from Colombia, and they dwelt on the wide scope Of this privilege, asserting that in it was found guarantees of American protection that could be req sonably demanded.
 During the discussion some demo- 3ratic senators called attention to the instability of many of the Central and [ South American republics, and urged on this account that it would be neces- sary for the United States to constant ly be on the spot with its means Of protection. The republicans replied that the people of all the parties in the South and Central American coun- tries have sufficient respect for the i United States to insure protection of its property, whatever party may be in power.
 The Bacon amendment when put to vote was lost, forty-six to twenty four, strict party vote.
 Senator Teller thereupon offered an amendment retaining the language. of article 23 as it stands. except the words with consent of Colombia" in the pro- vision permitting the intervention of the United States in case Colombia should prove unequal to the task of defending the canal but it was likewise voted down, forty-siX to twenty four. ! The senate then, 6:O5 o'clock, ad

the mechanism of the outer ear is not utilized.
 If the invention even approximates the merits claimed for it, it will be wonderful blessing to the deaf dumb and blind. Not only will the task of teaching children thus afflicted be made infinitely easier, but a ne " wo ia will be opened to the children them selves. Only last week the dispatches from Paris reported that a French sci enlist had invented an electrical con- trivance which enables the blind to see, and the two inventions should admir- ably supplement each other.

question: "Can you COOK" precede the question will you wed?"
 While the adoption of such unroman- tic expedients would grate upon a sen sitive nature, something must be done if affairs are as bad as Chicago's Su- perintendent of Charities would have us believe. Perhaps it would be as wei for American masculinity to take a few lessons in the gentle art of frying eggs and boiling coffee as a preliminary training for matrimony Qor who can tell when this knowledge might come into play?) or test personally the pos abilities of the chafing dish, that close culinary companion of the lonely bach eior. Evidently logic can trace an in tinate connection between dyspepsia and divorces. and wise wives will not be slow to take the hint.

Dyspepsia and Divorce.

Bad cookery and Slovenly housekeep- Ing were the direct causes of four hun dred divorces in the city of Chicago last year. This statement, by the head of the Chicago Bureau of Charities, fur nishes every housewife in the land with subject for serious reflection, for. husbands tempers and digestions are equally frail in Maine, Illinois and Cal ifornia, and divorces know not geo. graphical limits. During 1902, it ap- pears, four hundred deserted wives who applied at the Bureau of Charities for assistance, and later obtained divorceS admitted that they could neither cook nor keep house" and of course they could not expect to keep husbands. For those unhappy marriages the men themselves were to blame in great measure, and they need not pose as ob- jects of popular sympathy. Why did they marry women ignorant of the first requisites of a happy domestic life?
 If this unfortunate condition of af- fairs is paralleled elsewhere, sociol- ogists will have to wrestIe with the knotty problem of how a young man before proposing matrimony may gauge accurately a young woman's knowledge of domestic science, says Robert Web ster Jones in the March Housekeeper. Shall he ask the advice of some noted authority like Mrs. Hitler, and receive thorough coaching in the subject in order to become a competent judge of his beloved's qualifications? Shall the

 perpetrate a great joke when they Ego into executive session." The proceed ings of the executive sessions are sup posed to be sacredly secret, yet our readers have doubtless noticed that the Associated Press dispatches in The Republican from day to day have given very full account of the debates be- hind the locked doors. On Saturday, for instance, the Washington report be- gan with the statement:
 Previous to the closing of the doors the official stenographers and all the employees of the official reporters of flee were sworn to secrecy. and when the doors were closed one of the report CTS was invited into the chamber to make a detailed report of the proceed ings with the understanding that it should be made public after the vote of Tuesday next
 Then, as soleInnly as if reporting tho yeriest matter of course, the Associat- ed Press proceeded to tell in detail what occurred in the secret session. Senator Spooner, we were told, began his speech on the Panama canal treaty in reply to Senator Morgan, as soon as the session began. Then followed the synopsis of Mfr Spooner's remrks. The various points covefed by the Wisconsin sena- tor were touched upon, so that all the 1ficeties of his argument were embrac- ed Altogether, the report gave full column to Senator Spooner's speech The gist of the speeches made by Sena- tors Depew, Bacon and Morgan were also given, after which. it was explain ed, Senator Morgan submitted a num- Der of amendments.
 The humorous feature of the report lies in the fact that the Associated Press would not have been able to furn- ish d single line descriptive of the pro- ceedings had the session been, in truth, as secret as the senators would have the country believe. How the press corres- pondefits are able to get the details Of what transpires in the executive ses- sions Is one of Washington's mysteries. Time and again, the senators have at tempted to solve the problem. En- ployes have been questioned, although it was obvious that none of the en- ployes could have furnished the news, and senators themselves have been subjected to questioning in subsequent n n a whether any of them were guilty of be- trsying the secrets of the august body All persons suspected were able inVar- iably to prove their innocence. and ents reported what happened in these very Acquisitions.
 The senators seem to be confronted by a puzzle which is forever baffiing, and so far as secrecy is concerned the senate might as we'll abandon the scheme of executive sessions. It has been demonstrated repeatedly, that when the correspondents were placed on their honor, or it would be hurtfui to the public interests to make facts public, the newspaper men have care fully guarded the secrets entrusted to them. And this appears to be the only solution of the executive session proo- lem Let the senators see to it that all correspondents in the city are in the press gallery when an executive session is held and let request be made to the boys to keep mum on what they see and hear.

ONE RESULT

The Reverend "Hot Shots" Me
Gill, negro preacher of Birming-
ham, Ala, who is said recently to
have stood trial on a criminal
charge, is in Washington pushing
his candidacy for the position of
chaplain of the United States Sen
ate, recently made vacant by the
resignation of DR.. Milburn, the
famous blind chaplain.
The Reverend "Hot Shots" who
is described in the press dispatches
as "black OF skin, flat of features,
side whiskered and odorous,' is
nevertheless a citizen of the United
States, and a voter since he escaped
conviction on the criminal charge
said to have been brought aguinst
him. Before the law he has as
good right to apply for the job
of assaulting the throne of grace
on behalf of the most exalted delib-
erative body on earth as any other
man. His legal status is not
inferior to that of the spotless
gentleman who so long lent dig
nifty to the deliberations ofthe most
dignified assemblage in existence.
The fiat has gone forth that men
of his race may hold high office in
the South, and there is no good
reason why the principle involved
should not extend to the United
State Senate. II the negro is to be
preferred to the Southern white
man, why may he not pray for the
Northern man.
The Reverend "Hot Shots is
entitled to the support and sympa-
thy of the Crumpacker following,
and his candidacy should receive
from all good men the treatment
it deserves. .-Signdl

these appointments were confirmed

tion is, why does the president re

He respects the predjudlces of
the white republicans in the north,

white democrats in the south for
entertaining the same predjudlces
where the conditions are such rs to
make those predjudices stronger.
There are enough positions which

BEEp STEAK.

We are told beef steak for broil-
ing should be cut three. quarters OF
an inch thick, aud put over hot
fire of clear Goals. When it has
Drowned quickly, as it should, and
been turned and Drowned on the
other side, it yet remains raw in
the middle, aud if left longer, the
surface burns.
At this stage, the novice is in
despair; but shehas yet two things
to learn-that Immediately after
the first browning, the fire must
decrease in heat, or the meat
be brought further away, SO that
the steak may cook ten or twelve
minutes longer, without burning;
less time will not cook it nicely in
the middle; next, that, like baked
meats, the surface must be kept
moist with hot fat. Before your
steak is put over the Goals, cover
both sides with melted suet, and
afterward, as it dries, spread on q
little butter or beef fat. Have in q
platter few spoonfuls of water in
which the bones cut from the steak
have been boiling, also, little
salt and pepper. When the steak
is done, lay it on the platter and
keep it hot for five minutes, turn
ing it once in that time. This will
give you both good steak and good
