Occasionally he found a rat In It. but II
he failed to take 1t out and dispatch It at
once 1t invariably escaped. He determined
to learn how the trick was done. Waiting
until he had seen a rat securely In the
trap he secretly watched 1t.
The trap Is a wire affair. where the rat
Is led along until 1t reaches the piece Of
tin which Tits. allowing the rat to drop
into box. when the tin drops back into
place, securing the prisoner.
Mr.. Barden presently saw a second rat
approach the trap and climb up near tho
entrance. Then the two rate began to
work together. The imprisoned rat
dragged the piece Of cheese 80 that It was
Immediately under the fitting piece Of tin.
The rat on the outside had evidently been
informed how the trap worked, for It
braced itself with its hind legs SO that it
would not slip. and then. fitting the tin.
the two rats worked the piece Of cheese
so that II wedged between the tilted plat
form and the side of the cage. This held
the trap open SO that the imprisoned rat

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Dec. 10.-Speaker Cannon
within the last few days has called to his
room the chairman Of every committee
having to do with appropriations. and has
personally urged them to have their bills
ready at the earliest possible moment.
It is his intention to have the 'appro-
priation measures passed earlier in the
session than ever before, and. IL there
is delay In transacting the public bust
ness he says 1t will be the Senate's fault.
He proposes also to hold that body up. to
public view as responsible for clogging
the wheels OF legislative machinery II the
Senate's usual course Is adopted because
OF its antiquated rules.
Leading Senators have already ex,,
pressed their annoyance at what they call
the dictation OF the House. and there Is
at present little or no hope of harmonious
action on the part of the leaders OF both
branches.
Senator o. H. Plat. who has been con-
sidering during the recess the question OF
a modification Of the Senate rules, has
found little encouragement among the
other leaders of the upper branch. In
fact, 1t was said to-day that no progress
had been made on the proposition made at
the last session for a method of procedure
on the lines OF mild cloture.

This Summer

The East End will be connected with
the natural entry where the new con.

is also a possibility ,that the council
will make some arrangements to run
free ferry across, this matter having
been brought up before the council
by Alderman Newburg. The East End

service on account of the large num-

such connections be made that it will
not be necessary for the men to make

the men employed by the govern
