Madison, Wis, Feb. 2.-In the senate

States senators to use their efforts to
secure an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States providing
that senators be elected by direct

missioner. II Assemblyman Terens
of Manitowoc has his good way deer
will De afforded yet better protection
than now enjoyed. He introduced a
bill which forbids the shooting of doe
and fawn ''at any time" hunters being
permitted to kill only male deer with
antlers Such a law might also
greatly reduce human mortality, since,
if hunters must be sure of the antlers
before firing, the shooting of other
hunters would be less likely to hap
pen. Assemblyman Crowley of Mil
Waul-ee would have the hunting sea-
son made cOntemporaneous with the
holiday period. A bill which he intro
duced makes the open season for deer
the last Fl days of December instead

The The Standard Oil Company
 Oil is getting whacked on all
 Rise. sides. Ida M. Tarbell has been writing series of articles in Mo- Clure's magazine in which she has shown up their peculiar methods of doing business, and the rise in the price of oil in the time of the coal famine has set all the daily papers to roasting John D. Rockefeller in all the choicest and most biting epithets and sarcasm. The fact is that in the price of oil it has advanced about four or five cents a gallon and the Standard Oil Company has cleared an additional profit of six million dollars. As the company paid a dividend of 45 per cent. in 1902 most people think that the profit is large enough now without lsvytng any additional tax on cur ne'

The OUTLOOK.
The Lights and side lights Coal continue to be thrown Strike. upon the conditions of


 Strike. upon the conditions of the miners in the investigations before the strike commission. One man tes- tified that he made anywhere from five to ten dollars day and he worked eight or nine hours. He further said that when the men got into the mines they went for their dinner pails about the first thing, then would blow a cou- pie of holes and sit down and smoke and talk politics. Some of the wit nesses reported getting salary of $2OOO year and more; one mans earn ings being s2sOO. The average pay was put at $500 or s70O. One fact seems to have been brought out very clearly, which is that 75,0OO men can do the work which LOG, ,OOO men are now doing, and this surplus 25,OO0 men make it harder for the rest to get large wages. An examination of the fuel shortage in the cities has revealed the fact that owing to the large amount of work this winter the charitable institutions have not been called upon to furnish much more coal than usual and there has been coal enough for ac- tual need. Many families are living by one stove this winter and so saving on the coal question. In Chicago, Washington and some of the cities of New England, however, there has been much suffering among the poor and many calls for help.

 Genius. England has been opening the eyes of the British busi- ness men and scientists to the way we do things in this country. He said that our inventions had been the re- suit of the scarcity of men to do the work: as when men could not be found machinery was patented to do the work of the men. As an illustration he cited the Homestead mills where four thousand men produced three times as much steel as the Krupp works in Germany do with 15,OOO men. He told of visit which some English visitors paid to Homestead where MT Schwab Showed them the mill where 750 tons of plate girders were turned out in day. The ingots were handled by electricity, put in the rolls, the screws were adjusted by electricity, all done without the touch of man hand. It was so also in taking the metal out of the furnace and putting it in, 15 year old boy doing all the work by a set of levers. So much fo1 the brains of America.

MAJOR DANIEL S To
EXPLORE PAPUA

Denver, Aug. 15.-Major William
Cooke Daniels of the Daniels & Fisher
Stores Company, Denver. who is form
ing party to explore the island of
Papua has practically completed pre-
parations for the expedition, Within
the next six months this savage island,
unsurveyed and unexplored, will be in
vaded by the Daniels party.
Major Daniels is now in London or
ganizing the party of scientists who
will make up the party. Within the
next few days they will leave for Sgd
ney, Australia. From there they will
embark in $4,000 brig for the island
of Papua, or New Guinea, which is sit
uated north of Australia.
The major has been for some time
interested in the island, which is inhab-
tied by cannibals, and has been visit
ed by only a few white persons. In
February he laid his plans before the
Geographical Society of London and
other organizations and they were ac-
cepted Delegates were appointed to ac-
company him and he has every encour-
agement
The island. and everything on it, will
be classified and a study made of its
anthro y logy, mineralogy, botany,
photography, geography and other sub
jects. Major Daniels will devote him
self largely to ethnology, while Dr. c.
G. Seligman will have medical charge
and Dr. w. Mesh Strong will give his
attention to pathology. The photo
graphic work will be under the super
vision of A. H. Dunning The party
will include 200 armed servants and
guides, as the expedition is considered
to be dangerous undertaking.
One of the principal objects of the
expedition is the investigation of the
theory that Papua is the birthplace of
leprosy and that the cancerous germ is
bred and propagated there.

PARLIAMENT HAS
BEEN PROROGUED

London. Aug. 15.-Both houses of
Parliament assembled yesterday 10
wind up the business of the session.
Regarding the complaints that the
government was showing lack of sym
pathy with Macedonia. Mr.. Balfour
pointed out that one of the deep
sources of mischief was the dissensions
among the Christians. 1t was not the
Turk alone-deep as his guilt undoubt-
edly was--who was responsible for the
miserable conditions. 1t would be folly
to forget that the Christians commit
ted atrocities on Christians. The gov
ernment was still of the opinion that
the best policy was to support the
Austro-R Russian endeavors to improve
the administration.
Subsequently the House was sum
moned to the House of Lords to hear
the Kings speech, proroguing Parlia-
ment, read.
The most interesting portion of the
speech to America deals with Ireland.
1t says
The warm expressions of good will
with which | was everywhere re-
ceived greatly touched me My visit
enabled me to realize how much was
being attempted to improve the hous-
ing accommodation for the working
population. stimulate commercial ac-
4 tivity, advance the methods of agricul-
ture, develop technical education and
provide for the sick and infirm Much
remains to be done, but it was with
| feelings of the deepest qualification
that l noticed signs of increasing con
cord among all classes of Ireland pre-
| saying, as ! hope, a new era of united
efforts for the general welfare"
| Referring to the Irish land bill the
speech says it offers inducements to
, the land owners to continue their resi-
| dence among their countrymen and
provides facilities for improving the
conditions of life in the poorer dis
! tricts of the West. 1t adds.
This reform. by removing the an
cient causes of social dissension, will,
heartily trust conduce to the common
benefit of my Irish subjects"
| After the reading of the King S
speech Parliament was prorogued until
November End.

maintain a partially fair condition
which existed prior to the present
strike. which fact is well known to all
members of the Federation in this dis
trict."
Here follows criticism of the Mine
Owners argument that the mill and
smelter employees should not be affili-
ated with the miners.
The Mine Owners Association, in
their statement, would have the mem
bers of organized labor believe that the
miners of the district are being CO.
creed by their officers to take part in
an unjust and an unreasonable strike.
This is certainly too flimsy to be taken
seriously by any member of the fedora
ton. The operators know too well that
the rank and file of the federation have
implicit confidence and are in full ac-
cord with the action of the officers
whom they have elected and whose
duty it is to manage the details of the
strike, and will stand as a unit in car
rying out the policy of the organiza-
ton. in their efforts to establish living
conditions, not only in the mines, but
in the mills and smelters, and main
tain the right to belong to a labor or
ganization without endangering the
chances of earning an honest living.
Ihey propose 10 resume 1earlessly
as fast as men can be secured. and all
men will be protected to the last de-
gree which from the language, means
that the man who is willing to sell his
manhood and become Benedict Arm
old to the miners of the Rocky Noun
tain region will have the protection of
a corporation armed guard until the
controversy is settled.

Western Federation of Miners"
