HEPBURN SAYS MEMBERS
WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND DETAILS
House Spends Four Hours Talking
on Big Emergency Appropriation
BiII--To Be Acted on Today,

Washington, Dec. e.--With an op-
portunity for ultimate debate on the
subject of the Panama canal the
house exhausted its oratory on that
subject In a session Of four and three
quarter hours today. The bill appro-
priating SIG, 500, 900 for canal work,
which was the subject for discussion,
Will be read for amendment and plac-
ed ON its final passage tomorrow The
feature of the debate was the criti-
cism INDUCED in by both republicans
and democrats regarding the incom-
pieteness of the statement of expendl-
lures and estimates furnished by the
canal commission. Mr. Hepburn, IN
charge of the bill, made some effort to
show that while detailed estimates
might be made satisfactory at the
same time members of the house were
not in position to pass critical judg-
ment on estimates on such work pre-
pared by expert engineers who held
responsible positions and had been
selected entirely because of their fit
ness.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, took
decided exception to this attitude on
the part of Mr. Hepburn, applied II as
affecting all matters of appropriation,
and arraigned it as decidedly the
wrong attitude of legislators. TO en-
force his argument he read the senti-
ment of the president in his message
for economy and scrutiny of appro-
priations.
The so-called press agent of the ca
nal commission was criticised by sew
eral speakers, and lack of definite in
formation as to the existence of such
a position was shown. The place was
declared to draw salary of $4,000 a
year, and some curiosity was manir
tested toglkn0w what We're IFS duties.

An Archbishop's Joke.

The Right Rev. DR.. Randall Thomas
Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury,
more than held his own as raconteur
during his visit to Fernleigh Over, the
county seat of Bishop Potter. This is
one of his stories: ''When was a young
man l once made an impassioned appeal
on behalf Of a foreign missionary to an
audience composed of my rural parish
toner's. The following week I was sur
prised on entering provision shop in
the village to be greeted with marked
GOODNESS by the worthy dame who kept
1t. On asking the reason of this strange
treatment the good woman produced a
half crown from a drawer, and throwing
it down before my astonished eyes,
snapped: marked that half crown and
put 1t in the plate last Sunday, and here
it is back again in my shop. Iknowed
we'll them niggers would never get the
money!" -London Leader.

revolution and express the hope that
the energetic policy of President

MEGAPHoNE AS FoGHoRN.
Warning Can Be Heard Twenty Miles
from Station on Attain
tic Coast.

There is another use for megaphones.
Scientists have recently applied this in
vention to more laudable purpose. On
Falkner's island, off the Coppecticut
coast, there has been erected huge
revolving platform, on which are sta
toned eight large megaphones, each
measuring II feet and having mouth
seven feet in diameter. These horns
send out their cry of warning to every
point of the compass, the power being
furnished by steam whistle.
This shout has been heard a distance
of 20 miles, and when the wind is favor
able the sound will carry nearly twice
as far. The instrument utters it's warn
ing every IS seconds. and each mega
phone utters its cry in turn, so that the
sound makes its way over the ocean in
every direction. There is combination
Of short and long blasts for each point
of the compass, so that a mariner may
know exactly whence the sound pro-
ceeds.
The government recently made an ap-
preparation Of 100000 to build light
house on Diamond shoals, off Cape Hat
teras. that graveyard of the Atlantic,' -
which is strewn with numberless wrecks.
But at depth of 100 feet the soil is still
soft. loose sand, so that no foundation
could be found for the lighthouse.
Instead a new contrivance will be
shortly set afloat there. held down by
mushroom" anchors. The instrument
will consist of two huge megaphones,
with diaphragm to be vibrated by cleo
tricity. The machine will be operated
by clockwork and when once wound up
will shout for many months without re-
quiring any attention. The necessary
current will be furnished by a dynamo
and in calm weather the shout will pene-
trate the air for distance of rs miles.

New York, Feb. GA proclamation
addressed to the American people" will

number of reforms as the object of the
movement, among them being govern
ment authority over railroads Sufficient
to abolish unjust rates and discrimina-

SNOW IN NORTHERN MOODS
Cuts OF Communication with Outside.
But Does Not Curtail Social
Pleasures.

IT you want to see snow Just 60 up
into the valley of the Rainy river" said
E. A. English, settler from the Big
Fork country. according to the Duluth
Herald. I'VE have snow in the north
country, and plenty of it. 1t lies about
three feet deep on the level, should
say, and the loggers have no complaint
to make because there is not enough
Of it.
Despite the fact that winter cuts OF
almost all communication with the out
side world, the cold season is not so
unpleasant to the settlers through that
region as some people might imagine.
They have their social pleasures, too.
although under conditions somewhat
different from those with you city folk.
Perchance there is dance, for instance,
at one of the river settlements. OF
course all the young men and the wom-
en-, too, not to speak of the older ones.
have to be on hand. To many this means
an eight or ten-mile tramp on snow
shoes through the woods or down the
river bed. Maybe they come from even
a greater distance. Where roads allow
sleighs are used.
But the fact of there being no road
presents no obstacles to the settler. A
long tramp on snowshoes has no ter
rors for him, and if he has been in the
woods long such journey is about as
easy as walking in the summer time, cas-
Ter, in fact, for he does not have to bother
with the swamps. Our families really
are content, and don't know but that
they have good reason to be. With
plenty to eat and plenty to wear, and
nothing particularly to worry about, the
life, even during the cold months, is not
bad one to lead.
We kind of den up for the winter,
like the bears, and don't feel called upon
to do any particular work, unless it be
to cut fuel, or unless we find ourselves in
need of exercise. OF course much of the
spare time is taken up by charging our
clearings, but there is nothing COM
pulsory about this, and if we want to
lounge about the house for week OF
two in comfort there is no reason why
We shouldn't do so.
I'VE have no quarrel with the fuel
man, and care not rap whether meat is
ten cents pound, or so cents pound
The plumber is a man seen only in our
dreams, and it's all the same to us wheth-
er the light and water companies, with
their everlasting bills, live or die
Street cars might come in handy once
in awhile, but we are just so much ahead
by not having them around"

PROTOCOL is SIGNED.
United States Undertakes Response.
bility of San Domingo Finances,
According to Document.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Minister Daw-
IRON San Domingo that the new proto-
col providing for the responsibility Of
San Domingo finances by the United
States was signed Tuesday. The docu-
ment is expected here early next week,
and will be submitted Immediately to the
senate.
1t is drawn on the lines of the original
protocol, SO far as concerns the ADMIN
istration Of the customs by officials
designated by the United States, and
the segregation of portion OF the Gus
toms receipts TO dclray the foreign in
debtedness of the country. No date is
set in the document for the beginning
of this administration, and that will
be left for the senate to insert.
An important feature of the protocol
is the omission of the provision in the
original memorandum of January a.
guaranteeing the integrity of San Do.
mingo. The new document simply binds
the United States to respect the integ-
rity of Dominican territory. The Mon
roe doctrine is regarded as sufficient to
convey the broader guarantee. 1t is
also provided that the new protocol
must before becoming effective be ap-
proved not only by the United States
senate, but by the Dominican congress,
and this proviso makes it impossible to
define the precise date upon which the
agreement will begin to operate.
