THE STATEHOOD BILL CONTEST.

The protracted debate in the United
States senate on the omnibus state
hood bill has become tiresome, but the
opposition to the measure is utterly in
different to this and seems determined
to prolong the debate throughout the
session. Senator Foraker said a few
days ago that every senator knew that
the debate has no other purpose than
that which has been asserted over and
over again in the cloak rooms and in
the Hobbies and corridors of the capitol,
that the bill is to be talked to death.
That Is the evident design of the OPP
position, as plainly shown In the fact
that some senators on that side have
occupied days in speaking against the
bill.
Those who support the Measure are
anxious to have a vote upon it. Argu-
ment for and against has been ex-
hausted and they want the question
disposed of, so that the senate can give
consideration to other important mat.
ters that are before it. If it be the in
tention of the opponents of the state
hood bill, as appears to be the case, to
continue the debate throughout the ses.
sion, the country need not expect any
antitrust legislation, so far as the sen.
ate is concerned, or indeed any ,otheI

sage of the appropriation bills and
even these may have to be pushed
through during the last days Of the SEES

responsible for the situation are no,
serving the public interest. While w

territories should be passed and proba

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS"
Experimen fs in Uganda Tend to Prove
That 1t Is Communicated by
the Tsetse Fly.

The British authorities uganda
are making great efforts to discover
the source of the terrible sleeping
sickness" which periodically decimates
the natives of that territory and other
parts of Africa and, if possible, to find
a means of preventing its spread, says
the New York Times. In May last year
the Royal society dispatched a commits
sion to Entebbe. Uganda. for the pur-
pose of investigating the disease, and
early this year a second commission
was sent from England for the same
purpose.
The conclusions of the joint commits
sion are now available through the
publication of progress report. This
shows that the disease is caused by a
minute parasite in the blood, which
could not be conveyed from man to
man. Consequently suspicion fell upon
the tsetse fly, a species of which. sim
liar to the one prevalent in Zululand,
was found abundant in Uganda. and
experiments are now in progress to set
tie whether the Uganda tsetse carries
in its blood the identical parasite
which is peculiar to the disease, and
whether it can pass it TO an animal.
One rather tentative experiment
seems to show this. and it is expected
that the truth or falsity of the theory
will soon be determined.
