Shaws Are Popular.
One Of the most elaborate and un-
doubtedly best attended of the New
Years days receptions will be that at
the home Of Secretary and Mrs. Shaw.
1t is understood that the Shaws are
planning an unusually elaborate af-
fair this year This winter, which is
their third in Washington, finds them
exceedingly popular socially Miss
Enid Shaw, who was debitant last
year, made her debut under rather I'M
favorable circumstances, a death in
the family forcing them to be quiet
socially about that time. This year
Miss Shaw has been extensively en-
tertained and has achieved great pop
ularity. She was one of the favored
young girls who assisted at the debut
of Miss Morton, daughter of the Secre-
tary of the navy, who Is without doubt,
the most popular debutant Washington
has seen in years.
Abolition of Panama Commission.
Col. Hepburn. of Iowa. chairman of
the house com mittee on interstate and
foreign commerce, is credited with the
introduction of most startling propo-
sition tending toward the abolition Of
the Panama canal commission. Col
onel Hepburn together with other
members of the committee recently
made trip to Panama and 1t is said
came back convinced that the canal
commission was an expensive and I'M
wieldly affair and that more power
should be given the man with the
shovel. AS a result there has ap-
peared a sentiment in favor of wiping
out the canal commission and putting
the entire question of the digging of
the canal in the hands of the engineer
corps of the army.
Before he left for Iowa to spend
the Christmas holidays Representative
Hepburn spent several hours with the
President discussing this matter To.
gether with other members of the
house committee Mr. Hepburn came
back from his trip thoroughly i'm
pressed with the ability of Chief Engi-
neer Wallace. He believes that Mr..
Wallace should be given more power
and greater authority over the dig
ging of the great canal.
Already Some Friction
There has already been some fric-
ton between Engineer Wallace and
the commission and it is believed that
the smaller the commission would be
the better would be it's services and
the quicker the completion of the ca
nal. The commission now has six

CHICAGO HORSE MARKET.
Auction Yesterday Well Patronized by
Outside BUYERS.

Chicago. Dec. 30.-The movement of
horses was featured yesterday with
the closing auction of the year. The
sale pavilion was crowded with local
visitors and outside dealers. Several
eastern operators competed for the
best draft offerings, while northern
buyers bought literally of loggers and
business horses. Bulk of offerings
comprised drafters and eastern chunks
which found easy outlet at nominally
unchanged prices. Drafters were fairly
active at $17O@220, with several Of the
best offerings being negotiated to the
big packing firm. at the Union Stock
Yards. Considering that 1t is usually
the dullest week of the year, all classes
sold quite satisfactorily at the follow
ing priceS.

DAY OF STRIKES OVER.

Capital and Labor is Passing Away,
New York. Dec. 30.-'I believe
firmly that the day of the strike is
over" T. V. Powderly former head Of
the Knights of Labor, said today:
81 don't mean by that there is never
to be another strike" he continued,
but l do mean that each year will
see fewer causes for strikes, and that
as natural result the strike will be
thing of the past as a means Of
bringing employers and workingmen
to amicable relations.
Il know of nothing so encouraging
as the recent conference between can
italists and laboring men. They hav1
talked things over in many contro.
versies during the past year or so, and
with the invariable result that a peace
full solution of the problem in hand
has come.''

in the United States. The instruc-
lions of the surveyors forbid them
allowing the line to cross any stream

between the two states is the water

GREAT LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.
Value of Animals in the United States
Is in the Billions.

Very few people have any idea of
the magnitude of the live stock in
dustry of the United States. If shown,
by official government count, that the
horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and
goats in the United States number
more than 100000, 900 head, and that
their value is, according to the anne
authority, more than $4,000, 900 900
(see twelfth census of the United
States), the figures alone would have
very little attraction or meaning to
the majority Of readers. But when
told, in addition thereto, that these
animals would make a solid column Of
more than eighty-nine abreast reach
ing from San Francisco to Boston, or,
if placed in single file, a solid process
sion that would reach nearly ten
times around the earth; and, further,
that their value exceeds the total COM
bined value of all the corn, wheat and
other cereals, potatoes, hay, cotton,
sugar. mOlasses, tobacco, lumber,
wool, coal, petroleum, silver, gold and
precious stones, iron, copper, lead,
zinc and other metals produced annu-
ally in the whole country, then per-
haps some adequate conception may
be formed concerning the magnitude
and importance of the live stock in
dustry of the United States.-Chicago
Tribune.
