REPORTERS GRATUTTEEs...
House Votes Against Giving Them $500
 Each.

Hartford, July 12. -- The resolution making a gratuity of $500 each to six men who had reported the house proceedings for their respective papers during the session was rejected to-day by a vote of 75 to 51. The bill was tabled last week after it was intro- duced. The resolution as originally drawn provided for a gratuity for each of four Hartford newspaper men. Then the name os the Associated Press, rep- resentative was surreptitiously inserted ill the list and another name added. To-day after the resolution had been taken from the table an amendment was offered striking out the name of the Associated Press representative upon request and the amendment prevailed. Opposition to the resolution had de- veloped and it failed of passage. Four years ago the house refused to pass g. like resolution but the senate came to the aid of those interested and passed a resolution giving the house reporters $500 each. The senate already has voted $500 each to thirteen newspaper men, who have had seats in that chamber.

 ering Oe EIISs.


 Buffalo, July 12.-Tbe twentieth annu- al reunion of the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks will be held in Denver in 1906. One ballot decided this at the grand lodge meeting to-day. Per- ry Clay of Denver led the winning fight for the Mile High city. Denver re- eeived twice as many votes as Dallas, which made strong fight led by Will liam H. Atwell, United States attorney there. Atlantic City had few real sup porters.
 Early this morning the whole city was astir preparing for the great parade. It is estimated that 5O,00O Elks marched over the wet streets. The day of the great procession dawned gray and threatening. Early showers seemed to ortend a postponement of the event. About noon the skies cleared, the mar tial music was herd nd S the columns moved the sun burst forth from behind the clouds, but not for long. The long march was made in drizzling rain. The streets were lined with an eager throng that had to be held in check by wires along the entire line of march.
 The personal staff of Grand Esquire Phelps of Detroit was Colonel Emmett Urell of Washington, D. C., Champe s. Andrese of New York, James H. Walsh of Boston, Charles Berry of New York, D. H.

MURAVIEFF WILL NOT
 BE A PEACE DELEGATE
RESIGNS POSITION AS CHIEF EXTRAORDINARY TO CON-
 TERENCE.

Practically Certian That NJ. witte,
 President of the Committee of Min
 isters, Will Succeed HIm-Czar Here
 tofore Opposed to NJ. Witte-It is Be-
 IeYed the latter Is In Favor of a
 Russo-Japanese AIIiance-MuraviefR
 Reported III in St Petersburg.
 St. Petersburg, July 1S.-2:12 a. m.-. M. Murayeiff has resigned his position asch ief peace plenipotentiary.
 It may be regarded as practically cer- tain that he will be replaced by NJ. Witte. president of the committee of ministers, who all along has been con- sidered the Russian statesman pre-emi- nently qualified to undertake the diffi- cult task Of negotiating peace with Japan.
 However, though the emperor who on two previous occasions fiatly declined to accept M. Witte, has now indicated his readiness to make the appointment, the commission will not be actually signed until Foreign Minister Lams- dorff. who throughout has been M. Witte's warm supporter, has had an au- dience of the emperor to-day.
 To that extent only the matter may be regarded as unsettled, nothing being certain in Russia, as prominent dip- f
 lonat remarked last night, until the enlperor's signature has been affixed. M. Witte's selection will undoubtedly be hailed as a practical assurance of peace. While it would be a mistake to denominate him as a peace-at-any- price man, M. Witte earnestly believes that the struggle should be ended and should be succeeded by an understand ing between Russia and Japan which would ensure peace in the Far East for half a century. Indeed, he is personally believed to be in favor of a Russo-Jap- anese alliance.
 The conduct of the negotiations by M. Witte, 1t is felt by the peace party here, would inspire instant confidence in Japan.
 The only handicap under which M. Witte labors in his lack of familiarity with the English language as the only foreign languages he speaks are Ger man and French. '..---'a -.-'- M. Muraveiff's retirement, ostensi- ply owing to reasons of i'll health, is in reality due to the fact that the emperor became convinced that the negotiations might be 1eopardized if he went to Washington. M. Muravieff, himself, upon consideration, quite frankly recog- nized his lack of diplomatic training and his want of acquaintance with the questions involved and with equal frankness expressed satisfaction that he had been relieved.
 Neither the Washington nor the Tokio government has yet been officially ad- yised of Muraveif's withdrawal. the foreign office probably preferring to an- nounce the name of his successor at the same time.
 The change in the chief of the pleni- potentiaries does not involve any post ponenent of the date of sailing of the peace mission for Washington.

five weeks earlier than without this

Mr.. Root does. many a family might

essary, but in exceptionally cold nights

and thus allow warm spring rains up

permit ventilating.

FEEDING FAT INTO MILK.
Experiments Have Proved That the
Feeding Has Not Much Infueucs
on the Quality Of Milk.

We can breed fat into milk Or breed
1t out, but We can make seal cely any
difference by feeding. The COW goes
along as she was made. giving milk Of
Q certain percentage according to her
Individuality. Certain families OF COWS
have been bred for large percentSge
Of fat 20 long that the trait has become
established. Now 1t ID a breed chsssc-
ter - with the Jerseys and Guerassys.
II you wish to raise the percentsgs Of
fat In the milk Of succeeding genera.
tions. you must set to work In obe-
dience to this physiological Jaw and
breed for II by infusing the blood OF
butter-bred cattle.
There 10 not . farmer In the land
who would think OF putting sa in
creased percentage Of speed into . trot-
ting horse by any special feed, says
the Midland Farmer. Tho horse must
be fed, Of course, and rightly fed,
but the function CT speed lies beyond
the stomach, In the mechanical make
up o( the body and the nature OF the
mind or spirit. Trotting horses eau
be produced. by long years OF selection
OF the parents with antscedsnt talent
In their respective lines.
But the average farmer has strange
notions On this breeding and feeding
question. What he knows. or thinks
he knows, about either. has come to
him ON the wind. He cannot tell where
he got 1t. He has never made either
breeding or feeding a subject of men
tai study. Haphazard has been the
source OF his knowledge and haphazard
are his ideas and practice Of the same.
1t u one Of the oommonest things to
hear farmers stoutly declaring that
they know that the percentage OF but
ter fat In cows can be changed by feed.
Ing. Yet. In all this. they know what
no student or body Of scientific men
has been able to find BY the most care
full and long continued experiments
ton. The latest trial is by Cornell
college. at Ithaca, N. Y. They took q
herd OF ten cows. and worked With
them year, trying all sorts of meth
eds, to Increase the percentage Of but.
ter fat. They tried starving down and
feeding up, and with 1t all. they could
only make change OF one-fouEth Of
ono per cent.
