CUTS HIS OWN FOOT OFF
TO ESCAPE SCALDINC

anticipated that there will be fully fif-
teen opposition speeches before the bill
is concluded. Several speeches in fa-
vor of the omnibus bill are promised,
but it is not likely any of them will be
delivered within the present coming
week, though Senator Foraker, who is
an earnest advocate of the omnibus
bill, may be heard within the next few
few days. Among the bills demanding
attention are the eight-hour govern
ment labor bill and the Philippine cur
rency bill.
Senator Proctor has given notice that
he will call up the militia bill Monday
morning, as soon as the routine busi-
ness is disposed of and he will try to
keep this bill to the front until a con-
slderation can be secured.
There is also disposition to amend
the immigration bill. The supporters
OF this measure do not yet seem in
clined to concede the changes de-
manded.
Money for the Philippines.
Senator Lodge, as chairman of the
committee on the Philippines, has Civ
en- notice that he will press the cur
rency bill as rapidly as possible and
expresses confidence in its passage
before the session grows much older
senator McComas will urge consider
oSAOA1 VI O1Sul-HOur Dill.
large number of new bills and res
olutions will be introduced at the be-
ginning of the session tomorrow, among
them joint resolution by Senator
Morgan, directing the executive de-
partment to cease negotiation with the
government of Colombia for right of
way for an isthmian canal and to close
an agreement with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica for the construction of e
canal by the Nicaraguan route.
On Tuesday during the. morning
hours Senator Hoar will address the
senate in support of his anti-t trust
bill. 1t is probable that his speech will
give rise tn more or less debate, but
any discussion on this subject must
cease at 2 o'clock unless unanimous
consent should be secured to delay the
statehood bill for a time.
House Will Drift.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-No
complete programme is mapped out
for the house for the first week of the
new year. The leaders are very anxious
to force the appropriation bills as rap
idly as possible. The Indian bill is
on the calendar and headway is MAX
diplomatic and consular and District
of Columbia bills. The latter, at least,
will be reported to the house before
the end of the week. Mr.. Sherman, of
New York, chairman of the Indian
committee, is i'll at Hot Springs, Ark,
and his absence may delay consider
alton of the Indian bill. Until the
appropriation bills get into the hopper
the house probably will occupy it's
time with miscellaneous matters
brought up under calls of committees.

CUTS THE WATER LIKE
SHARK AT FULL SPEED
Torpedo Boat Destroyer McDonaueh
Exceeds the Requirements.


BOSTON. Mass, Jan. 4.-After wait
ing for two days for good weather,
the torpedo boat destroyer McDon-
ough, built by the Fore River Ship &
Engine Co., of Quincy, Mass, was sue
cessfully speeded over a measured
mile of Wood End, Provincetown, to-
day. She exceeded her contract re-
qu1rements of twenty eight knots, max
ing one leg at a rate of 28.56 knots.
The best two runs over. the mile av-
eraged 2802 which was the speed
which gained her acceptance by the
government board.
This trial was so encouraging that at
It's conclusion it was decided to try
another government test, that of an en-
durance run of one hour at a continued
speed of &c knots.
This was attempted on the trip back
to Boston, across Cape Cod bay, but
after three-quarters of the time had
been consumed valve blew out and
the trial was postponed until Tues
day.
The high speed trial was made under
somewhat adverse conditions, there be-
ing a heavy cross sea and considerable
wind. At it's conclusion some of the
government officials did not hesitate
to say that had the run been made
under the conditions usually attending
government trials the boat would have
gone well over 29 knots,

LAND TROUBLE
MAY BE Ended
Scheme Evolved by the Con-
ference Thought to be
Satisfactory.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The Irish land
conference issued a voluminous report
Of it's deliberations in which it is de-
clared that the only satisfactory set
tlement of the existing land question
is the substitution Of an occupying,
or proprietary ownership, of land for
the existing dual ownership. AS the
process of direct state interference in
purchase and resale would be gener-
ally tedious and unsatisfactory, there
fore, except in those districts under
the congested districts board, the re-
port recommends that the settlement i
should be made beween the owner and
the occupier subject to the necessary
investigation by the state as to title,
rental and security.
The report emphasizes the Desirable !
ity of inducing landlords to continue !
to reside in Ireland and with this pur- !
pose in view it says an equitable price /,
should be paid to owners based upon
income, and that provision ought to be-
made for the resale to owners of man
sion houses and demeSneS. The pur-
chase price should either be assurance
by the state Of such income or the !
payment of a capital sum producing it, ;
at 8 per cent or SA per cent If guar ]
anteed by the state, tenants payments ]
should be expended for term of /
years, securing a reduction of from 15 /
to 20 per cent on rents. To do this
may involve some assistance from the !
state beyond the use of it's credit, and 1
the report considers that such assist /
ance would be justified fully in the
future welfare of Ireland and the set l
tlement of this vexed problem.
The report offers no definite financial |
proposals, but it considers that an un-
exampled opportunity exists at the |
present moment to deal with this 4
question successfully. y
1t declares also that the solution of !
the land question should be accom-
panied by a settlement of the evicted I
tenants question upon an equitable
basis.
Capt. Shawe-Taylor, secretary Of the !
conference, left here today for the !
United States on board the Cunard line |
steamer Ivernia. He goes to America !
to ascertain the views of President /
Roosevelt and other prominent Ameri-
cans on the land question. In an in /
terview before leaving, Capt. Shave
Taylor said:
"The government now, for the first
time, has before 1t a practical solution |
OF this question acceptable to both I
land owners and occupiers, and it (
would be q national calamity if, while
truce exists between the two parties.

125,OUo Railroad Employees.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 4.-Members
of the general grievance committees of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and Order of Railway Conductors, rep
resenting the systems west of Chicago,
begin a meeting in st. Louis tomor-
row, when they expect an answer from
the roads to their demand for an in
crease of 20 per cent. 1t is expected
there will be between fifty and sixty
representatives of the two orders here
tomorrow. The raise asked for Will af-
feet about 125,000 men. The men here
assert that it is simply a business
proposition, that there was never any
intimation Of a strike, and that nego-
tiations have been carried on in a
friendly manner.
So far as known the railways have
arrived at no agreement in the matter.
President Ramsey, of the Wabash said
tonight that no meeting of representa-
tives of roads affected had been held,
so far as he knew. So far as the Wa
bash was concerned, Mr.. Ramsey said
that that road had on Dec. voluntar-
lily granted an increase of wages and
he anticipated no difficulty with the

Twenty one Years Raising Hogs.

Pnko iSItSS. II
That the price of hogs has not Az

hogs for twenty one years. and the low

but what else could be done. When
hogs were so ,low corn was also low,

cents He has found the best way to do

Two dollars and ninety cents was I'M

L.umny Jaw in Cows.

This disease more often affects cat
| tie than other animals. II Is due to the
| ray fungus or actlnomycosis. The
fungus occurs upon grass and other
| vegetation, and it is only when II be-
comes introduced into the tissues that
| ii causes trouble The disease comes
! from eating and outside sources. and
is not contagious in the usual sense of
| the word Several animals may be-
come affected while on the same pas
ture. but this is due. TO all being ex-
posed alike Some years the number
of eases is greater than others. owing
to the greater development Of this
fungus. The disease affects the jaw
more oftener than othe- parts due to
the fact that the tissues are some
times broken in the act OF chewing, and
thus permitting infection. Any part
of the body may be attacked.
A. w. Biting, of the Purdue Fxper-
iment Station, says:
The disease is comparatively easy
to treat A drachm of iodide or potash
is given twice q day, for two weeks to
twenty days. For cattle Weighing 1,20o
pounds or more the dose is somewhat
increased, and lessened for calves. 1T

let out by incision. In 2. few refractory
cases second period of treatment
may be required after resting for ten
days. About so per cent of recoveries
