col LORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

In the annual report of the State
Board of Health considerable stress Is
laid upon the necessity of a special ap-
preparation to enable the board to cope
with typhoid fever. which the report
AYERS is raging nearly all over the
state. In the year 1902 more than D.
900 cases of the disease were reported.
The cause of the unusual prevalence OF
typhoid is alleged in the report to be
the existence of germs in the streams.
and the available fund at the command
of the board is inadequate to make the
proper and necessary tests. and to pur-
chase the necessary apparatus. The
report requests the passage of bill TO
protect the purity of water supply and
to require consultation with the State
Board of Health relative to the estab-
lishment of systems of water supply,
drainage and sewerage. Regarding
compulsory vaccination. the report
states that its enforcement within the
year no doubt lessened the spread OF
smallpox. 1t also recommends some
stringent law preventing the sale OF
opium to the Caucasian race, stating
that the use of the drug is increasing
among white people.

NO NEW COINAGE
in PHILIPPINES

Washington, Jan. 24.-The House
leaders went down to signal defeat
Thursday when the House by a vote
of 146 to 1873 rejected the Philippine
coinage bill reported by the insular af-
fairs committee. and adopted the sub
stitute offered by the minority for the
introduction of American currency and
the American coinage system in the
islands.
The insular committee includes in its
membership the chairmen of the most
powerful committees of the House, Mr..
Cannon, chairman of appropriations;
Mr.. Hit, chairman of foreign affairs;
Mr.. Payne, chairman of ways and
means; Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of in
terstate commerce. and Mr.. Tawney,
chairman of the committee on exposi-
tions. They reported a bill to estab-
lish the gold standard in the islands
and to authorize the coinage of silver
pesos of 416 grains. to be made legal
tender at the rate of two pesos for one
gold dollar.
The majority members made gall
liant fight for their bill. but consider
able number of Republicans. twenty
eight on the final vote, under the lead
of Mr.. Hill of Connecticut, Mr.. Fowler
of New Jersey and Mr.. Call of Massa-
chusetts, Joined with the Democrats
and carried through the substitute.
The fact that Secretary Shaw and
other high treasury officials were
quoted on the floor as favoring the sub
stitute aided in the overthrow of the
committee bill. Their opinions were
advanced as against those of Governor
Taft and other members Of the Phil
ippine commission.
The substitute provides that the law
full money of the United States shall be
legal tender in the Philippines. and
declares the coinage laws of the United
States to be in full force there.

HERR BEBEL SAYS
GERMANY is WEAK

Berlin, Jan. 24.-During the budget
debate in the Reichstag Herr Bebel
ascribed the governments deficit to
the enormous expenditures for the
army and navy and to the futile ef-
forts to play the first role in the
world" which Germany was unable
to do.
The government he continued, was
afflicted with the "malady Of sudden
ness" which defeated It's own aims.
The speaker instanced the rearma-
ment of the army with artillery which
had already been relegated to the sec
ond rank. The United States, Herr
Bebel said, had entered into the COM
petition for ornaments, and owing to
her great resources and energy will
soon outstrip Europe.
Herr Bebel further said the Emper-
or's expenditures for the army and
navy were likely to grow even great
er under the present conception OF
the foreign policy. Germany wanted
to be first everywhere. Its attitude To-
ward weaker states would never be
tolerated toward itself. Its action to-
ward Hayti was brusque, and how, the
speaker asked, can the Panther's bonn
bardment of Fort San Carlos be justi-
fed?
Chancellor Won Buelow, in replying
to Herr Bebel, said that Herr Schaed-
ler had remarked the other day that
the Germans were more hated than
loved in the world.
81 regard this wide generalization as
incorrect" continued the chancellor.
.I believe we have trustworthy polit-
ical friends. and that the world has
not forgotten the radiant genius of
the German people. recently re-
ferred to wild poet who was unfavor-
ably disposed toward us. l am glad to
note to-day that the Belgo-French
author, Maeterlinck. who is now in
Berlin, has not improperly character
lied the German people as the moral
conscience of the world But even II
SO much hatred and dislike for us pre-
walls as Her Bebel, too. seems to as
sumo, then in my opinion hatred and
envy (and hate is usually born or
enyy) are sweeter than pity.
Let us keep our powder dry. Let
us not quarrel too much among our
selves, and nobody will run afoul OF
our wagon"

COLUMBIA SIGNS
CANAL TREATY

Washington. Jan. 24.-Yesterday's
meeting of the Cabinet was one of the
most important held in several weeks.
Subjects of great moment were dis.
cussed fully, the session continuing for
two hours. All the members of the
Cabinet were present. Secretary Hay
presented draft of the Panama canal
treaty signed Thursday, and both
the president and his associates in the
Cabinet expressed satisfaction with
the results achieved through the long
and difficult negotiations.
The treaty is identical with that
drawn by this government several
months ago, and at that time submit
ted to the Colombian government,
with the single exception of the
amount of the annuity to be paid Co
lombia for the right of way for the
canal. This government proposed an
annuity of 100000, while Colombia
demanded s650.0O0. The Colombian
governments demand was based. it is
stated, upon the ascertained returns
from the Panama Railroad Company
in dues, etc. which Colombia did not
desire to have reduced. That has been
the point Of difference for many weeks
and at one time it threatened to break
off negotiations entirely. -
Secretary Hay communicated di-
rectly with the Colombian govern
ment, intimating that some agreement
must be reached soon, as the United
States desired to enter on the CON
struction of the canal IL 1t were to
be constructed by the Panama route.
For several days active efforts have
been making to secure an agreement,
but not until Thursday were they sue
cessful. The Colombian government
then. through Mr.. Herran. the charge
daffaires here. agreed to accept an
annuity of S250.000.

The number Of men employed as
teachers in the public schools of this
country is slowly but steadily decreas-
ing. According to William T. Harris,
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, the percentage Of male teachers
in the public schools in 1870 was Al per
cent. In 1900 the percentage was only
30. The reasons for this decrease are
easily found. The work does not offer
as great inducements TO men as it once
did. Teachers in secondary schools are
now required to be specialists, and the
salaries are not enough to attract men
to make q life career in this field
Women in increasing numbers have
gradually taken their places. In point
of training they are as well fitted for
the work, and in point of tempera-
ment better adapted to handle chN-
dren.

show of impatience. Isn't there
some one here who knows me?"
"I'm the only one on duty just now.

the clerk.
