.S the Next Session in December.
Democrats Would Amend the Co

Washington, March 12.-At the
opening Of the session Of the senate
4 MI. Allison (Ia.) offered-a q resolution
which. he said, he thought was proper
at this time, authorizing the commit
tee on rules to re-examine the rules OF
the senate with the view to ascertain
ing what changes, If any, are neces-
sary, and especially to make inquiry
4 whether IT is expedient to in any way,
limit debate in the senate and, II so,i
to what extent. The resolution further
provides that the committee Is author
izcd to sit during the recess Of the
senate and they are directed to sub
NIT report to the senate Of their
conclusions as soon as practicable
after the beginning OF the session next
December. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee to audit and
control the contingent expenses of the
senate. 85 5s ca

In executive session Senator Nor

Amendment by Democrats.
The Democratic senators are making
an ehort under the leadership of Sen
atoi Golman, to reach an agreement
upon an amendments to the treaty to
be supported by them and each one
has been asked to give his views upon
this EoiAt. So far substantial unan-
unity has been expressed in favor of
a modification of article 90 so as to
place the control of the canal in Amer
ican hans. There is general COM
plant ane.i. the Democrats that the
provisions of that article preclude
the possibi.4,s of protecting the canal
by American al ms in case the neces-
y sity for doing so should arise. It is
said, however. that no amendments
win be offered by the Democrats as a.
party unless the support OF all sthei
Democratic senators can be assured in
advance. While practically all of
them are said now to be favorable to-
an amendment that will give the Unit
ed States control of the canal it is
understood that many, especially
among the Southern senator's, say
that IL this or other amendments shall
be offered and rejected they will re-
serve the right to vote for the treaty
In the end. @
Leading senators are more confident
than they have yet been OF securing
m early agreement to vote upon the
Panama canal treaty and the opinion
il freely expressed among them that
the final test will be reached not later
than next Saturday. Senator Morgan
was in conference during the day with
President Pro Tenn. Frye and other
prominent senators and the indications
are that he will be allowed to print his
remarks. III. 5,a

The problems of English could be large
ly solved if the college were to ADM;

the student rather than prepare him tc

Following this was an informal discus
sion lasting some little time in which a
number of very practical suggestions
were made. One of the best was that the
object should be not to teach the book
but to teach the student Another was
that there should be not only preparatory
English but pre-preparatory English

it was the sentiment of the meeting that

The young Colorado lizard. whose
presence at the postoffice was mention
ed, the other day, has fOrsaken his glass
covered box and sweetened water diet,
and gone to Brunswick, where the
chances are that he will be sacrificed
upon the altar of science. His removal
to Brunswick came about in a peculiar
way. He got out of his box. the other
day. onto the floor, and in an attempt
to remove him from under rug his
tail which was about fiVe-eighthS of his
entire length. was broken off. And a
funny thing about the accident was
that the disconnected tail continued to
wiGgle around over the floor at Il great
rate. II so happened that in one of Pro-
fessor Lees classes at Bowdoin College,
one day. recently, the question came up
as to whether reptiles which had lost
any member of their body would have
the part replaced by another growth,
and so the lizard was sent to BoWdG1n
to demonstrate whether or not he could
grow tail. Whatever the result. it is
probable that ultimately he will be dis
sected, to ascertain how he compares
structurally with his cousin from the
State of Maine.

Tree PLANTING on Pixies Peak.

A very interesting experiment and
one of great Importance to the people
of the West will be conducted this
summer on Pixies Peak. A party from
the United States forestry bureau I'M
der charge of one of the government
experts will plant a large number OF
trees on the slopes of Pixies Peak and
the neighboring mountains. The trees
thus planted will not only be of great
benefit to the Pixies Peak region, but
the experiment will be most valuable in
solving general problems relating to
forestry in the West.
There are several important reasons
why the selection of the Pixies Peak
group for the experiment is wise one.
1t is detached mountain mass separ-
ated from the main ranges. 1t is in
cluded within the limits of forest re-

the opinion of those who have ex-
