STRONG MAN CRUSHED.
He Chops Wood Though He Has But
One Arm.

LIE Sueur, Mimi, Dec. 20. - Big
Jack" Flemming, farmer of Derry
name township, this county, met with
his match yesterday when he felled a
tree on himself, crushing him severe
ly. He has only one arm, but such is
his strength that he can swing an axe
with his only arm as easily as an ordi-
nary man swings a shingle hatchet,
and he can chop as much cordwood in
one day as any two-armed man in the
country.

several hundred yards wide at its low

ANTHRACITE COAL RATE INQUIRY
Venezuela Cattle for United States
viii Be Used Exclusively for Food
and Have to Pass Rigid Inspection
Besides Paying Duty.

WASHINGTON Since the return
OF Admiral Walker and General Davis
of the IsthmiGn canal commission to
WASHINGTON from Panama they have
been engaged in work preliminary 20
the meeting of the commission next
week. During the absence of the com
mission, application for positions on
tho canal force were received by the
thousand. Thus far it has not been
determined how the canal work will
be done. hence the commission itself
does not know yet just what positions
it will have at it's disposal.
The probability now is that the
great bulk of the work will be done
by contract. 1t has been suggested
that Il construction company be organ
lied to undertake the work under the
supervision of the commission. The
organization of several companies,
each to do a specified portion of the
work, also has been suggested.
In the anthracite coal rate inquiry
against the Philadelphia 81 Reading

merce commission Friday entered an
order reopening the proceeding for fur

has set the case for hearing at New

At Fridays cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Wilson reported that the depart.
ment of agriculture had granted per-
mission to the Venezuelan government
to import into the United States 1000
head of Venezuelan cattle. OF course
the customs duties will have to be
paid on the cattle. They will be ship
ped to New York, consigned to an alb
battoir. No breeding cattle are to be
among the number imported, the idea
being to use them exclusively for food.
The department is exceedingly careful
about all importations of live stock
and each head of cattle imported frog
Venezuela will be rigidly inspected.

ROSEBUD BILL is SIGNED.
President Gives Approval to the Open.
ina.

WASHINGTON -- The president
signed the Rosebud reservation bill
Saturday In honor of the event
Congressman Burkett presented every
man in the white house offices with
rosebud The delegation then went
to the general land Office, where it
was learned that the land would be
opened under the lottery plan, such
as was used in opening the Kiowa and
Comanche lands in Oklahoma. Pros
pcct!ye settlers may register at Bone
steel, Fairfax and Chamberlain until
the middle of May when the drawing
will occur at Camberlalin. Full par
ticulars will be given to the newspa-
pers soon.
The pans for the opening of the
reservation are not yet completed, but
1t is expected that arrangements will
be made so that the opening will take
place by July ! next 1t is likely
that the plan to be followed will be
the same as that carried out in the
Kiowa and Comanche opening in Ok
lahoma in 1901, when the claimants
were registered and the order in which
the entries to be made determined by
a drawing of the names. This meth
cd, as carried out in Oklahoma by
Commissioner Richards of tEe general
land office, is generally commended at
the interior department, where it is
desired to prevent such wild scenes
as transpired at previous openings.
There are 245 quarter sections of pub
lie domain embraced in the territory
to be thrown open and the indications
point to large number OF prospective
settlers.

MEDIATION REFUSED BY CAR.
Suggested by Both King Edward and
kinu Christian.

King Ihrlstlan'
ST. PETERSBURG-Th Associated
Press is enabled to announce authori-
tatively that the talk of mediation in
the Observation-Disclosures war was found
ed upon the personal desires of King
Edward and King Christian of Den
mark, to avoid further bloodshed and
end the conflict, but that steps ini-
tiated have utterly failed.
The car, with the full concurrence
of the imperial faily and his advis
ers, has firmly decided not only to re-
ject all proposals looking to interven-
ton, but to prosecute the war with all
the sources of the empire until vic
tory crowns the Russian arms, and
then, when the time comes for peace,
to make terms directly with the en-
envy. The interference of outside
powers will not be tolerated. There
is to be no repetition of the Berlin
congress. Furthermore, the Associat-
ed Press is authorized to state that
Russia will in no wise consider her
self bound by the propositions made
to Japan prior to the war. The hos
tilities have wiped out the engage
ments Russia offered to make with
Japan regarding Korea and Manchu-
ria. Russia will consider herself free
to impose such terms as she desires.

END OF CONGRESS.
LABoRS OF THE TWO HOUSES
COME TO CONCLUSION.
PRESIDENT BUSY AT THE CLOSE
Number of Bills Are Signed and Leg
isIators Engage His Attention--Re.
publican and Democratic Views Of
Appropriations Made Thus Far.

WASHINGTON second ses-
sion of the Fifty-eighth congress was
declared adjourned at 2 o'clock Thurs
day by President Pro Tempore Frye,
in the senate, and Speaker Cannon in
the house.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
capitol at 11:25 a. m. to attend to his
official duties incident to the adjourn
ment Of congress. Nearly all the men,
bers of his cabinet had preceded him
and were waiting in the presidents
room. He was accompanied by Mr..
Loeb, his secretary, and the whole
executive force of the White house. A
number o. bills passed Wednesday
night and Thursday received his sig
nature.
At 11:25 the president affixed his
signature to the last of the general
supply measures, the postoffice appro-
priation bill Prior to that time he
had signed the sundry civil, the gener-
al deficiency and the military acade-
my bills, in addition to scores OF meas
ures of minor importance.
The president was in almost con-
slant consultation with senators and
representatives concerning measures
presented to him for his signature
Bills relating to the various depart
ments were referred strictly to mem
bers of the cabinet who were present,
and as usual, they passed upon them
before they were signed by the presi-
dent.
At 12:45 p. m. the joint committee
of the two branches of congress, con.
sisting OF Senators Hale and Cochran
and Represer tatives Payne, Hemen-
way and Williams, appointed to noti-
fly the president that the congress
was ready to adjourn, called upon
President Roosevelt in his room at
the capitol. The president informed
the committee that he had no further
communications to make to the con-
gress. The committee remained with
the president les3 than five minutes.
The last of the important bills to
receive the signature of the president
were the river and harbor and Pana
ma canal measures. All of the sur
veys which the senate provided for
in the river and harbor bill were
stricken out in conference In one of
them the president had personal
interest, as it was survey near the
presidents home at Oyster Bay. When
he noted the fact that among the
other surveys it had been eliminated
he signed the bill and remarked.
laughingly, that it was pretty evil
dent that he had no influence with
the present administration.
The republican and democratic
view of the appropriations made thus
far by the Fifty-eighth congress were
presented to the house by Chairman
Hemenway of the appropriations COM
mittee and Representative Livingston
of Georgia, the ranking democratic
member of the committee.
Good Government Housekeeping"
is the caption chosen by Mr. Hemen-
way to represent his views.
"A Congress that Has Done Moth.
| ing But Spent Money" is the heading
of Mr. Livingston's summary.
