WILL BE ON PARITY.
Change in Transit Facilities ns to the
 Isthmus.

New York, July 12.--The contract be- tween the Panama Railroad Company snd the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany, under which the latter has TOT years enjoyed the exclusive privilege of handling freight on the Pacific sice on through bills of lading. will termi- nate today Hereafter all carriers wiii be on a parity in respect to transit ia cilities Cn the 1sthnus.
 MT. Bristow, in his recent report on the Panama Railroad, recommended that if the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany withdraws its present Panama lines an effort will be made to induce some other company to establish a flrst-clnss service between the import ant Pacific coast ports of the United States and Panama, and in the event that no other company is prepared to furnish the service that 1t be provided by the Panama Railroad.
 Upon excellent authority It can be stated that the Government does not bnticipate that the Pacific Mail will carry out Its threat to take It's vessels from the Panama-San Francisco ser vice, nor does 1t expect the abrogation of the contract to affect in any way the shipment of er.handise from New York to San Francisco.

 Gadsden Times-News.
 Mobile. July 5. 1905. Editor of The Gadsden Times-News.
 Gadsden, Ala:
 Dear Sir-I read in The Montgomery Advertiser of July l an article attrib- uted to your paper, stating that there are horses being driven to wagons ev- cry day in Gadsden that should be killed to put them out of pain. and also describing brutal treatment of horses. and winding up with an appeal to the Council to put l stop to 1t.
 Let me call your attention to Sec tions 5093 and 5O94 of the Criminal Code of Alabama of 1896. You will see from those sections that there Is ample provision to punish these off, lenses against the laws of the State of Alabama that you describe. It only rests with the individual citizens to put them into effect.
 You will notice. also. that any cltl- zen can make arrest of person vio- lating these sections, and that the law provides that he shall be paid for so doing.
 Let us suggest to you, also, that the best way of making these sections ef- fective is to organize society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and you might add children. as we have done here in Mobile for a good many years. You Will find such an organi- zation very effective in putting an end to the wrongs which you describe.
 Yours truly.

Plotting Against Insects.

Washington, July 12.-Owing to the ravages of insects the bureau of for estry has devised a plan by which it is expected to prevent widespread in jury. so prevalent heretofore to bas- ket willow culture. particularly in the Southern States.
 It Is believed that by flooding the willow holts many insects that live in or near the ground which damage the commercial quality of the rods will be destroyed. The experiment Is now be- Ing conducted on a government willow plantation and forestry officials are of the opinion that they at least havo found a method for exterminating a class Of insects which has worked in-
 calculable injury to the willow indus try.

PRESIDENTS BUSY DAY.
Mr, Roosevelt Considers Several Matt
 tcrs of Interest.


 ters of Interest.
 Oyster Bay, N. Y. July l2.%Senator P. c. Knox, of Pennsylvania. former attorney held a long and inn portant conference with the President last night at Sagamore Hill. The Sem ator, by invitation of the President, was an overnight guest of MT. Roose- welt. The conference, which was con- tinued until late hour. covered wide range of subjects. but 1t can be said II related to one matter in particular, which Is of profound personal and off, cial concern to the President. No statement was made about the result of the conference. Senator Knox. who left Oyster Bay on morning train Tor New York, declined to discuss for pub ucation the result of his interview with the President. .@.-.
 Interest was aroused here today by the report that Mir. Muravieff. former minister of justice. who recently was designated as one of the Russian pleni- potentiaries to the peace conference, would not be able to participate in the conference and that Nj. Pokotiloff, one of the directors of the Russo-Chinese Bank and Russian Minister to China, has been appointed in his stead.
 Confirmation of the appointment of Pokotilof Is not obtainable here at tulS tincs dltHOuSH it io hho"u tha NJ Muravieff Is not In the best of health. His declination to serve as one of the Russian envoys would not create surprise.
 It is regarded here as not improb- able that other sensational develop ments may grow out of the leak in the cotton crop report which Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agricul- ure is investigating. It Is known that John Hyde, the chief statistician of the department Is under fire, but thus far nothing definite has reached the President regarding possible future disclosures. In fact. by direction of the President. Secretary Wilson Is con- ducting the inquiry along his own lines with n determination to sift the matter to the bottom. As heretofore indi- cated In these dispatches Attorney General Moody will determine finally whether criminal prosecutions are to be instituted by the Government against any of the alleged conspira- tors.

In Defense of the Coyote.

PhlIlUtIpIlII LCUStI.
 A good word for the despised and hated coyote is to be found in recent bulletin of the Department of Agri- cuture, embodying the results of an inquiry into the relation of these prairie wolves to stock-raising in the West. This plain and straightforward scientific statement of the case for and against the coyote should empha- size anew the importance of a thorough study of every such problem before the nasty adoption of plans for the remedy of the evil. The one remedy which would satisfy the sheep herders is the complete and immediate extern nation of the coyote. which makes great ravages on their flocks. This radical measure Is more easy to talk about than to carry into effect; but were it possible it would be well tc remember that it Is an exceedingly
