Without Amendment
To Be Pushed At Once.

The United States senate on Tues
day ratified without amendment the
treaty with Panama for a canal across
the isthmuS OF Panama, by vote OF
&c to H.
The result was a ioregone conclu-
sion, and the interest in the matter
was in the division OF the vote on the
Democratic side. which was not def
nitely known until the roll was called.
As was expected, all the republicans
voted for the ratification, or were
paired that way. Three Republicans,
who were absent, and Senator Foster,
OF Washington. were those who did
not vote.
Fourteen Democrats voted for rati-
fcation and fourteen against. Two
Democrats, Clark of Montana and
Stone ofMissouri, were paired in favor
OF the treaty and three Democrats,
Overman. McLarin, and Martin. were
paired against il. so that in the total
vote I6 democrats were for the treaty
and u against<it.
The vote against the treaty was as

4 RUSSIAN VICTORY
FIRST OF THE WAR
JAPANESE FAIL TO BLOCK
PORT ARTHUR.
Reported That The Mikado Lost
Four Warships and Two Trans
ports Sunk.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-2:45 a. m.
"A telegram from Viceroy Alexief
TO the car says:
AT a quarter before 3 o'clock in
the morning of February "a numer-
ous Japanese torpedo boats attempted
to attack the battleship Retvizan and
sink large steamers loaded with in
hammablcs. The Retvizan was the
first to observe the torpedo boats and
opened a strong fire on them. She
was supported by the land batteries.
She destroyed two steamers near the
entrance OF the harbor; they were
coming directly towards her. One Of
them went on the rocks near the light
house on Tiger peninsula and the
other sank under Golden Hill. The
Retvizan observed four steamers in a
sinking condition, and eight torpedo
boats departing slowly to rejoin the
waiting Japanese warships. A por-
ton of the crews OF the Japanese YES
sells were drowned The grounded
steamer is still burning. The enemy
is observed in the ofing of Port Ar
thur in two lines"
The Japanese crews saved them
selves in boats, and it is possible that
some of them were picked up by the
eneny's torpedo boats.
Il am proceeding to examine the
coasts. The entrance of the harboT
is open. I attribute the complete de-
rangement OF the enelnys plan to
the brilliant action and destructive fire
of the Retvizan. Floating mines are
st:l visible in the r4atstead. l

in pursuit Of the enemy in order, in
the first place, to clear the roadstead
OF floating mines.

advantages offered by all the large
islands of the county for dairying and
stock raising and has frequently urged
the farmers to turn their attention to
this great branch of the agricultural
industry as the surest means of obtain
ing a steady income and enrich1ng In
stead of impoverishing their land.
Three years ago there were only one
or two separators in the county ana
not a single cream can was to be seen
at any steamboat landing. Finally
creamery was started here by man
who had unlimited faith in the in
dustry but quite limited capital Tor
it's development 1t was late in the
season when the creamery was ready
for operation and comparatively lew
farmers were we'll supplied with dairy
cattle or prepared to go into dairylng
as a business AS a consequence III
tie progress was made the first year
There was a separator in the creamery
the first season and the greatest
amount of milk received in any one
day was 600 pounds. Now every
dairyman has his own separator and
only the cream is shipped to the cream
cry. In one day this week over three
thousand pounds of cream were churn-
ed making 1000 pounds of butter
Although the capacity of the churn
now used is 220 gallons of cream,
very much larger one is needed. In
stead of putting in larger churn this
season, however, it has beeen decided
to run the plant day and night while
the cream supply keeps up to the pre-
sent high point. 1t is expected that
it will be necessary to double the ca
pacity of the plant next season and
that within a year or two more, IL
the number of patrons continues to
increase as it has during the past
year, the San Juan creamery will be
one of the largest in the state. Even
now the proprietors are paying out
for cream from $500 to $500 a week.
A number of dairymen are getting
from SIS to 500 month.

to furnish the heterogeneous balance of
our ration when We weary OF the
milder products of the creamery. We
feel quite proud of the business-like,
square-fronted building planted among
the British Columbia giants and backed
by eternal Businesses which even a
deer does not care to cross; but its
sudden appearance so soon after the
launching of the creamery, seems al
most sinister in it's significance and an
uneasy undercurrent of thought hints
that there are some who look for a
sudden influx of "baby beef" at Christ
mas time. Well, it is better to have
two strings to your bow, and so far
the creamery is turning out the finest
butter have ever tasted on this con-
tinent. And then, it is great COM
fort when we have crate of nice
young chickens to sell to be able to
haggle about them ourselves. Sending
them off to Victoria and awaiting re-
suits savors too much of casting your
bread upon the waters, having it re-
turn to you after many days. Any
way, the meat market is in full swing,
come what may. We can almost
imagine ourselves walking down the

Mysterious Disease Affecting Cows.

Mysterious Disease Affecting Cows.
Mr.. E. Zweegman, one of the val
ued subscribers of The Ranch in
Whatcom county, has among some
of his COWS disease that even the
state veterinarian has been unable to
diagnose from the description fur
nished by Mr.. Zweegman. We have
never heard of such symptoms before.
In writing to The Ranch for rem
edy Mr.. Zweegman says: Il have
COW that has had her calf, and was
all right up to between the 9Th and
10th days The milk flow was good,
then all at once the COW became stu
pid, the milk decreased gradually. and
her breath and milk smelt as II she
was feverish. The pulse is strong.
The cow eats less and less, drinks
very lightly, chews her cud once in
while and becomes very poor. This
lasts as much as three weeks, then
she RECEIVERS slowly. At first the man
ure is soft and natural, but later on it
seems to form in crusts. [ have two
COWS in my herd that have had the
disease. They had their first calf
when three years old, in the winter
time, which probably caused them to
catch cold. Now one had her calf
June 9Th, and I noticed her ailing on
June 18th. The other one will come
in fresh in a few days. The one that
has just come in has her third calf,
and it appears that she had the dis
ease each time. l fear the other one
will have the same trouble again"
Mr.. Zweegman has been instructed to
consult the veterinarian in Belling-
ham, as it is probable personal ex-
animation will enable him to diagnose
the case. If any others of our read
ers have had experience with this
form of disease The Ranch would like
to have a full statement from them.

The Farmers Handicapped.

scales, saws, barb wire, wire nails, etc.
are sold at greatly reduced prices to
foreigners. Our farmers, when they
sell wheat in England, compete with
the wheat from Argentina and from
Australia. our wheat growers are
greatly handicapped in this competition
by three facts: o. They have to pay
about - per cent more for their imple-
mcnts and tools, all made in America.
than is paid for these same implements
and tools by their foreign competitors;
(2J they have 10 bear the burden of
other protective tariff taxes which I'M
necessarily increase the cost OF living
and of producing wheat: 90 the rail

ship wheat pay about - per cent more

terals, al made in America. by the
railroads over which the wheat of Ar

AS II lIl4S were liOl Suill'ltllt
upon our farmers. il is now proposed
by the political statesmen in control of
the party of this ridiculous system Of
protection to further tax our farmers
to provide subsidy for ships. Should
subsidy prevail and this new tax be
levied, as is promised by the Republic
ans. American built ships, drawing
heavy subsidy, might replace the for
cign ships now engaged in trade be-
tween this and foreign countries. These
foreign ships in their search for cargo
would look TO other countries such as
Australia and Argentina. Competition
IN the ocean carrying of the grains and
meats of those countries would be
very great and would result in benefit
to the farmers of those countries.
Our farmers are foolish to support
system Of protection" which operates
to their disadvantage as compared with
their foreign competitors in producing
and transporting products by land.
They will be absolute chumpS if they
vote TO tax themselves still more in or
der to give their foreign competitors an
advantage in ocean transportation.

A Great Man Gone.

George Frisbie Hoar. the grand old
man OF the senate. is dead. Though
he had lived beyond the allotted three
score and ten the country can ill-af-
ford to lose this old school statesman.
His death is a great public loss.
In some respects Senator Hoar was
the most useful as he was the best
equipped member of the senate. Pos
sessing great scholarly attachments. q

in an eminent degree, profound
knowledge of constitutional and inter

man.
Senator Hoar was a legacy of the
glorious past. For upward of half a
century he had been in public life
The ideals that abided with him when
he first attained official station re
manned with him to the end. He did
not believe in the higher law but in
the law as it appears in the statute
books. To him no emergency could
be grave enough to warrant the setting
aside of the law or its loose interpre
tation. He held that the constitution
was in concrete form and that il meant
the same everywhere. He maintained
that the flag and the constitution must
go together and the doctrine is danger
Gus that denies the protection of the
constitution TO those guarded by the
flag. Political exisencies developed
this latter day Interpretation of the
constitution. and partisan though he
was, Senator Hoar could never square
his conscience to an endorsement %
this radical and fateful definition.
Senator Hoar stoutIy maintained
that a republic could not possess col
onies. He declared in eloquent speech
and with convincing pen that there
could not be subjects in 4 republic
form OF government. that all men are
created free and equal and that the
American flag could float only over
citizens. This led him to break with
his party on the question of grabbing

The Tariff and the Flag.

Once it was cardinal principle that
the constitution follows the flag. II
was not a partisan, but an American
doctrine. and democrats still hold to
it, although republicans do not. 1t
is something of an issue itself. even
if Mr.. Roosevelt did ignore it in his
letter.
But republicans march the Dingley
tariff law abreast OF the flag. even if
they do relegate the constitution TO the
rear. AS soon as they had unfurled
the flag in the Panama canal zone they
set the Dingley tariff schedules 10
work protecting us from the "pauper
labor" of the new republic of Panama.
Its authorities were panied and sur
prised.
The moderate republican newSpa-
pers see the hardship to the Panama
people and mildly protest against its
infiictiOn. But unavailingly. of course.
The flag is put in the zone to stay put,
and so is the Dingley tariff. The flag
needs no prop from the constitution,
but would come down of Itself without
the tariff to shore it up, according TO
republican teaching.
The Dingley tariff is sacred, even if
the constitution is obsolete.

wrong. In one of the most mastery
speeches ever delivered in the senate
he opposed the ratification of the
treaty which made the Filipinos Amer
lean subjects with no rights except
such as we grUdgingly gave them.
Senator Hoar maintained his attach
ment TO the republican party though
he could not endorse all its doctrines.
He believed parties were necessary
but would not wear a party collar.
King Caucus had no terrors for HON
and the lash Of the party whip flew
harmlessly over his head. He sought
only the right.
No senator of modern times has left
such an impress upon the senate as
the senator from Massachusetts, He
was striking contrast TO the corpor-
alton senators and millionaires who in
recent years have made the senate a
playthins, a perquisite. Surrounded
by multi-miliOnaires it was his proud
boast that after serving his state and
country 30 years his worldly posses
sions consisted Of his library and his
modest home.
This plain, simple, frugal. old fash
Toned man was typical of the fathers
OF the nation. He had no connection
with Standard Oil, he held no stock in
the sugar trust or Diamond Match
trust He simply owned himself and
dedicated his great talents to his cOun-
try Senator HOar was the last of the
old school of statesmen who revered
the constitution and the laws.
