cult breaker, the motor runs normally. about a minute.
 The bobbins on which are wound the conductors can receive 656 feet of in sulated wire; if to this is added the 656 feet of hose on the reel and the 115 feet to which the water can be thrown, it is seen that distance of 1,427 feet can be covered. The dis tance that the water can be thrown, nearly 115 feet, is accomplished with an orifce of or inch and a voluRle of 93 gallons minute.
 The whole machine can be. placed on ahandcart, or a little two-wheeled wag- on drawn by one horse. Its total weight, with accessories and two men on the seat, is about 2,292.7s pounds. The motor and pump are not longer than 39 inches, and about 19 inches wide and one-half the height.
 Behind the machine is reel capable of holding 984.25 feet of hose, two lances, ladder with hooks, an ax, a hydrant key, a nozzle, etc. The weight of this reel, equipped, is 7a7 pounds.
 The idea of this pump, (which is the only one of it's kind in France, if not in the world, was suggested by M. Rob- ert Lefebvre, the captain of the Rouen firecompany, by a conversation he had last year with a German engineer at the Berlin Fire Distinguishing exposi- ton. The latter had conceived the idea of an electric pump for cleaning the walls of buildings, etc. If sand, thrown by an electric pump could clean build- ings, why could not water thrown in the same manner extinguish fire? In the solution oe this question, the cleo tric fire pump was born.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy.


 "When had an attack or the grip last winter (the second one) actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise. Shortsville, N Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon ful of this remedy and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take a dose, and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac- cempanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that 1t would or could knock out the grip simply because I had nev- CT tried it for such purpose, but it did, and 1t seemed with the second at- tack of coughing the remedy caused it not only be of less duration, but the pains were far Jess severe, and had not used the contents of one bottle be- fore MT Grip had bid me adieu."

 Seffied A Dispxsfe

One day after the Peacock had been walking about and uttering it's shrill cries to attract attention to its tail the pond and said:
 'T'll admit that your feathers are more highly colored than mine, but if I had such a voice on me should ex- pect a violent death at any moment
 ''What! You, with your hiss and your squawk, dare to criticise my voicer replied the Peacock.
 'I'm no nightingale, but my voice doesn't set everybody's teeth on edge"
 t'Nor mine. If it isn't as soft as the bluebird's, it's at least as musical as the robins. You are simply jealous of me-"
 T say your voice is like broken glass;
 And yours is like f1les."
 Ladies'" observed the Fox from his lurking place in bush, there seems to be difference of opinion here, and it will please me much to act as ref cree. Please step this way behind the hedge and let me hear your respective voices''
 Both Goose and Peacock knew that the Fox was their common enemy and that they ran great risk in approach ing him, but such was their envy of each other and each so ardently hoped for his favorable opinion that prudence was cast aside.
 "That is beautiful-very beautiful" replied the Fox after the Peacock had uttered a few shrieks
 "And can't see how that could be bettered," he added as the Goose Tapped her wings and cried out
 Didn't I say so?'' exclaimed the Peacock.
 And hasn't he decided in my fa- vor?' replied the Goose.
 "I'm saying that as far as voices go," remarked the Fox as he made ready, lone of you reminds me of the bobo- link and the other of the nightingale, butt

HOW to Treat . Burn or sca1d.

For the immediate application to a burn or a scald perhaps there is noth- ing more eficacious than simple four. It should be applied immediately and spread thickly over the affected sur face, the part being wrapped after ward in cotton wool, kept in place by a bandage or strips of old linen. If the burn or the scald be merely superficial, this remedy will be found most excel lent, but where the deeper tissues are involved other remedies arc to be rec commended.

Kansas City, Mo, January 16.-The sixth annual convention of the Ma tional Live Stock association adjourned at o'clock this afternoon to meet next year at Portland, Ore, after electlng all the old officers for the ensuing year attic campaign of legislation against the proposed packing house merger.
 William M. Springer, general counsel of the association, in a spirited address outlined a bill which he formulated "to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies, |" and which he said was merely an adaptation of the Sherman antitrust law and the Hoar bill now pending in the senate.
 In the discussion that followed Presi- dent J. W. Springer said that a bill along the lines suggested by Judge Springer should be printed within a week by the association and sent to every legislature in the land.
 In further discussing the subject, President Springer said that if the pro posed merger were ever consummated the National Live Stock associa tion would string packing houses from Chi cago to San Francisco. In response to an appeal from the legislative commit tee for a legislative fund $750O was subscribed in less than thirty minutes.
 A resolution introduced by Frank NJ. Stewart of South Dakota protesting against the packing merger was adopt ed. It says: While We fully appre- ciate the natural desire of the men who have risked such enormous capital in the building up of packing industries to protect that capital from ungoverned anu unreasonable competition which might prove disastrous to all, yet We believe that the plan proposed will lead to the far greater danger of uncon- trolled greed and avarice, and as the producers of raw material we must naturally protest against the unreason- able tax that would be necessarily placed upon our labor and investment through the adoption of the plan pro- posed"
 During an address at the afternoon session Jerry Simpson favored tariff re- form and said that the enactment of a tariff law by Germany was discrimin- tion against American products ana should teach us how our present tariff system discriminates against othel countries. He asked those members ot the Wool Growers association present | if it were not a fact that wool was no worth as much in London and Liver pool as in this country.
 Senator Warren of Wyoming replied to this question and said that any on' who knew anything of the question knew that such was not the case, anC lively tilt between these two dele. gates ensued.

CONFLICTING STORIES
 ON OPERATORS SIDE
Regarding Employment of the Check
 Docking Boss.

Philadelphia, January 16.-More mine officials were called to the witness stand today and informed the coal strike commissioners that under the influence of the union the mine workers restricted the production of anthracite coal and otherwise interfered with the discipline of the employer. The Erie company, which controls the Pennsyl- vania Coal company, and the Hillside Coal and Iron company closed its case early in the day after calling a physi- clan who testified to the good health Of the mine workers.
 The Scranton Coal company, which operates besides it own the collieries of the Elk Hill Coal and Iron company, then took up the attack on the de- mands of the miners. The Scranton and the Elk Hill Coal companies turn their coal over to the New York On tario and Western railroad. which vir- tEally controls them. The witnesses called today testified generally that no black list exists. that contract miners work on an average of six to seven hours a day, that local unions compel the men to load an equal number ol cars, thus restricting the output. tha-
 
 frequent petty strikes occur because q union man is dismissed for insubor- dination.
 One inside foreman in his testimony said the employment of a check weigh. man, insisted upon by the union, ha. proved to be a good thing for the com. pany because the miners sent to tn. surface cleaner coal. that is, coal witt very little impurities in it. The ac countant for the Scranton Coal com | pany presented figures that showed that since the check docking boss wa. employed by the company at the re i quest of the miners the dockage agains | the men had been reduced about one | half The miners pay the wages of tn, ! check weighman and the check dockin; | boss.
 It was also stated that the check men have no trouble with regula weighmen and the docking boss of tn ! company. Superintendent May of tn, i Erie company testified few days az, | that the employment of the checl 1 docking bosses is not practicable be cause two men would not agree regard i ing the amount of dirt in a car.

4 SPANIARD'S WORD
 FOR MAJOR GLENN
The Filipinos' Way of Roasting
 American Prisoners.

Manila, January 16.-At the continu- ation of the trial of Major Glenn of the Fifth infantry charged with unlawfully killing seven prisoners in Samar, a Spaniard who was at one time held prisoner by the insurgents, testified that while he was confined in the headquarters of General Lukban in Samar, in May, 1900, he saw an Ameri- can prisoner roasted to death.
 The Spaniard said sticks were driven into the mans body and he was slow ly turned over until dead The body was then left to be devoured by hogs He did not know the mans name. but he thought he was an officer Several officers and men were captured or mis- sing in Samar in 1900 and the victim is believed to have been one of these.

Washington, January 16 (SpeciaD. - There continues to be considerable talk of a compromise on the statehood mat ter but up to date no one can be found who can clothe it with a sem blance of fact. MT. Quay scoffs at the idea of a compromise. He declares that there are enough votes to pass the omnibus bill and that the bill will pass before the session is much older.
 It is understod today that there will be caucus of the republican senators next week with reference to the omni- bus bill. MT. Quay is said to have told the republican leaders that caucus or no caucus there will either be a vote on the bill or an extra session of con- gress. He has given notice that he will resist to the utmost any further at tempts to adjourn the senate from Thursday to Monday.
 In response to a query as to why MT. Quay did not move for q night ses- sion if he has sufficient strength to pass the statehood bill, a senator today said that it was not part of his tactics to weary his friends unnecessarily; that the filibusteTing had not worried him in the least, and that the republican leaders would awaken soon to the fact that unless vote was permitted on this bill other important Legislation would be sacrificed.
 I heard the opinion expressed today in several quarters that the bill would pass. Mir. Quay is reticent when pressed for particulars. The Star, which is opposing the bill says tonight: The main dependence of the opposition has been delay of the time to take a vote in which to weaken the strength oi Senator Quay's following. and it will continue to be their dependence"
 The Star admits that if the bill came to a vote today it probably would pass It is probable that about the middle o next week the pressure of the president will bring matters to head.
 The speech of Senator Foraker yes terday in which he took the republican leaders to task for seeking to write tn, word lie across the statehood para graph in the Philadelphia platform un occasionally strengthened Quay's DO sitiOn. MT. Foraker will continue hi speech on Monday

ago, and R. s. Maclay, who desires 1t stated that he is not connected by ties of consanguinity with the F. s. Mac lay who wrote the history of the Amer ican navy.
 Then there are some candidates for appointive positions who have not come from abroad.
 The caucus will he held tonight; that is. it will be begun tonight. The most important business before 1t will be the selection of the presiding officers. The contest most talked about yesterday was tho election of the president of the council. There is a strong movement for F. s. Ives, and there is also q strong opposition. The principal argu- ment so far urged against MT. Ives is his attitude on the eight-hour law two years ago. The democratic members of the legislature which will assemble on Monday were elected on a platform one of the most conspicuous blanks of which was the eight hour law and the condemnation of the democratic mem bers of the Twenty-first legislature who voted against it.
 Another curious thing about the situ- ation is that Colonel Wilson is using his influence in behalf of Mir. Ives. The colonel was one of the chief advocates of the eight-hour law plank in the last campaign. Besides until now Colonel Wilson and MT. Ives have never been connected by factional ties. The Yuma statesman was one of the prin- cipal instruments of the defeat of the colonel before the democratic conven- tion two years ago, and he tried to be such an instrument at the time of the last democratic convention.
 There is a sentiment in favor of Henry F. Ashurst of Coconino, who distinguished himself as the speaker of the house in the Twentieth legisla- ture and who was elected to the coun- cil of the Twenty against the greatest odds encountered by any can didate.
 On the settlement of the choice of the presiding officers the fate of the army of applicants for clerkships and other appointive positions hangs.

LAND GRANT CASES.

Washington, January 16.-The last case on the docket of the United States supreme court affecting a land grant tried by the court of private land claims was under argument in that court today. The case is that of Mari ano Zena vs. the United States and it involves 1S,000 acres of land in New Mexico on which is located the famous turquoise mines of that territory. The case was argued for the government by special attorney M. G. Reynolds and for Mir. Zena by F. w. Delancey
 MT. Reynolds who had charge of the government interests since the creation of the court in 1891, says that cases af- fecting 243 grants and involving 34,- 900 900 acres of land have been tried and that all of this except 100000 acres has been saved to the govern ment.
