It Is understood that the President
laughingly announced to the leaders as
they assembled that he had pronounced
views on the subject Of tariff revision
He soberly declared, however, that he
sought counsel from Congress as to
what was deemed best 10 be done and
the most propitious time for doing il.
There was a general Interchange of
expression, which from first 10 last tes-
tilted to a desire on the part of the
President and The leaders to cordially
cooperate in legislating for the best in
terests of the country.
The leaders stood four and four. with
Representative Payne of New York on
the fence
Those favoring revision Were Sena-
tors Allison. AIdrich. Speollssr, and
Representative Tawney.
Those against revision were Senator
Platt, Speaker Cannon, an6 Repre-
sentat1ves Grosvenor and Dalzell-
Allison for Revision.
The Iowa Senator, whose views were
asked Tor first, expressed his belief
that something should be done, but
only after the most careful considera-
ton and investigation of conditions
He believed. he said, that revision
should be effected from a sense Of
duty to the people, and not with a
view TO political effect.
He couldn't see, for his part, he said,
how revision or absence of revision
could have any effect on the next Con-
gressional elections.
This was In response 20 an Interrupt
: tion by one OF those present that re-
vision must be had this fall at an extra
session or postponed until after the next
Congressional election. The disaster
that befell the party by the Mckinley
law going into effect shortly before the
Congressional elections of 1896 was
cited.
Speaker Cannon Opposed
Speaker Cannon did not favor revision
| in any form. He stated that in his ex-
/ tensive campaigning last fall he found
| nowhere a demand for tariff tinkering
/ He declared that. to his mind, the peo-
pie Were thoroughly satisfied with the
present tariff law and that the evils

Probable Outcome of White House Conference

developed to a remarkable degree.
He gave an illustration of his skill
the other day. On that table IN the
corner there were piled up a couple
hundred half dollars. Apparently
they were all sound and genuine spe.

remarked: There's counterfeit

HE then stepped up to the table
and pulled coin from out OF the
middle o. y. pie. 1t was tested
and found 10 be spurious. ! asked
the man to tell how he discoverei
the counterfeit.
by the reflection of the light, he
replied. THE rays east from that coin
were wholly different from those
sent out by the other pieces. That
coin stood AS distinctly from the rest

white flowers.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERS
Proved To Be Six White Owls.
And Not Uneasy
Ghosts.

All winter long T. M. Sark has
been troubled in mind over events in
his henhouse on his farm in Jupson
Township, in this country,
says a Minnesota exchange. He
never saw a sign of a rat or mouse
about the place; the hens seemed to
get up in the night to eat and drink
and, every night or so good, fat
fowl was missing from the flock.
He tied a watchdog near by, but
that helped not at all. He hired a
man to stay in the coop over night,
but in the morning the fellow was
gone aud was seen the next morning
on Frank Everett's farm in Cleve-
land, 10 miles away, muttering to
himself and talking about " ghosts. y
Afterwards the mystery was solved.
Stark climbed up into the loft of the
henhouse to open the ventilators
further, and there he saw perched
on box in a long white row six big
white horned owls, that had stolen
in in the fall and had been living off
his substance all winter.
1t was just in the cleaning when
there was too much light for the
owls and not enough for him, but he
seized a. club and went for them
with the entire winters concentrated
wrath and vengeance in his blood,
and they responded to the battle
with am energy born of full feed and
a soft snap about to be destroyed.
He lost good deal of blood. more
hair and all his shirt and broke up
abont 81 worth of exhibition, coops
with the wild blows he delivered in
the half-light, but finally came out
victor and stretched his six unlimited
pensioners in fuzzy, white heaps on
the floor of the loft.
Some people who hear the story
shrug their shoulders and smile and
think that it was bats in the
garrett" and not owls in the loft.
that troubled him, but they are
entirely wrong.

Remedy Against Old Age.
IChicagh Jurrnall

Curdled milk of a special kind pre-
pared only on a Bulgarian recipe is
now supposed to be remedy against
growing old. NJ. Xavier Dybovski
has made a communication on the
subject to the Academy of Medicine.
The substance is called yaghurt, and
can now be obtained in tins in Paris.
1t looks very like ordinary cream
cheese gone bad, and tastes similarly
The solid portion is mixed with a
white, thin liquid which is exceeding
ly sour. People who wish to live to
hundred, breakfast off yaghurt ex-
clusively.

Florida Man Makes Good Profits
In Queer Farm
Product.

tst Augustine Zeal Cor. New York Herald ]
A party from the North was driv-
ing one moonlight night under the
palmetto trees far out in the coun-
try. They had negro driver and a
one-house shay" Suddenly they
heard an unearthly sound proceed
ing from a dark swamp near the
roadside.
1t was like the roar of a dozen
bulls believing at once.
What is that" cried one to the
driver, springing from the seat,
while the scared horse was already
sittiong on his launches.
"Oh nothin', sir them's nothin'
but CATERS. -
'Gaiters?"
Eyes, allowgaters: they's just bel
lowin'. They do that, sir, any
summer night"
The party had been driving in the
neighborhood of an alligator farm"
The next day they visited it.
A tall, close fence surrounded
perhaps 20 acres of wet ground,
marsh and wallow. A gatekeeper
took their so cents and the visitors
were led in to see one of the most
repulsive spectacles of a life time.
There lay big alligators, 600 of them
singly or in groups, and in places a
a dozen piled on one another. Many
were 8, 10 or II feet long. They
were mostly summing themselves at
the edge of water holes and wallows.
Some looked almost like dirty little
saw logs with side claws fastened on
them.
The escort was asked to stir them
up a little. With long pole he ac-
cidentally poked big fellow in the
eye.
With a roar and below he roll
ed into the water. One or two
others tried to cape. Their mouths
were two to three feet long.
1t is novel kind of farming, but
profitable. The beasts are often sold
to menageries, and their hides are
worth $50 apiece. Few of those OF
the farm were captured. Nearly all
the smaller ones were raised on the
place. Once year the female
crawls out on the sand, digs a hole
and lays 10 to so eggs in it.
Then the hole is made into
mound like an ant hill. In three
months the eggs hatch out, the ba-
by crocodiles creep out and make
for the water.
Then the grown alligators become
fierce and dangerous. At the least
crying among the young the old ones
go believing to the rescue. fla dog
passes on the bank, discretion will
teach him silence, for one little bark
and bull alligator. is on the spot to
inquire into the matter.
In the winter the beasts sink into
the mud and sleep at the bottom of
the water, for three months with
out food and apparently without air.
A little sunshine. however, restores
them to life in a single day.
