BRINGING SENATE TO ORDER.
Alabama Statesman Makes Ideal Pre-
siding Officer.

At times even the staid and dignl-
fed United States senate becomes a
trife disorderly. This is usually the
case when debate becomes transform
ed into personal colloquies. At such
times the presiding officer is ignored,
the members exchanging sharp re-
marks from their chairs Then it is
that Mr.. Frye, vice president pro tenn,
calls Senator Pettus to the chair The
old gentleman from Alabama soon has
his colleagues back in good order. Mr..
Pettus will not allow one senator to
interrupt another without first ad-
dressing the chair and through the
presiding officer obtain the consent of
the senator entitled to the floor. A
running debate is very difficult under
such conditions and the colloquies are
interspersed by Interruptions of the
chair, who declares first one, and then
another senator out of order. The
Alabama senator performs this duty
with such an air of gravity and an
evident desire for decorum that no
senator can take offense. On such
occasions as these Senator Frye takes
a seat in the senate and enjoys the
discipline being administered.

Won Success Despite Difficulties.

The district attorney MoJaye coun-
", Arizona, lost his hands several
years ago in an explosion in a gold
mine. Though he is handless, Attor-
ney Dickson is able to perform all
the tasks that fall to the lot of a man
in his profession. He eats and dresses
with no more difficulty than people
who have the full use of their hands.
Around Kingman, the county seat of
Mojave county, Attorney Dickson has
the reputation of being one of the
swiftest performers on the typewriter.
In using the typewriter Dickson fast
ems two short sticks, especially made
for him, to the ends OF his arms, and,
seated we'll above the typewriter,
strikes down with unerring aim and
with a rapidity that is marvellous.

TO REACH THE PRIVATE LINES
Proposed That Senate Committee
Shall Sit During Vacation.

WASHINGTON-The resolution TO
be introduced in the senate by Mr..
Kean of New Jersey, providing that
the committee on interstate commerce
shall sit during the summer for the in
vestigation of the subject of railroad
rate legislation, will not be offered
until it has first been approved by the
committee. 1t had been announced
that the resolution would be present
ed in the senate yesterday. The in
terstate commerce commission will
meet Saturday TO consider the resolu-
ton.
The plan to have the senate COM
mittee investigate thoroughly the
subject of rate legislation has been
approved by large number of sena-
tors of both parties.
1t is said the committee will work
along the line of perfecting the Esch.
Townsend bill and incorporate in that
measure a provision to reach private
car lines.
The idea is that the committee is
ready to report in October or the LIST
of November, notice shall be sent to
the president, and if he is so inclined
an extra session may be called. Should
there be a demand from any senator
for immediate consideration of the
house bill it is planned to ascertain
the sentiment of passing rate bill
at the present session by a vote on
the proposed Kean resolution.

is FOR THE ARMY
A CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE
WAR DEPARTMENT.
As TO THE ANTI-CANTEEN LAW
Secretary Taft lnstructs officers to
Report Facts Without Bias
Wants to Know All About the
Workings of the Law.

WASHINGTON--A circular issued
by the war department to the army
gives the text of letter received by
the secretary of war from Representa-
tive Littlefield of Mslne, relative to
the anti-canteen act and the secre-
tary's reply, together with instruc-
tons to officers with respect to their
reports on the subject. In his letter
Mr.. Littlefield states that he is the
author of the anti-canteen amend
ment and adds:
IL regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers of the army
are not only adverse to this legisla-
ton, but are prejudiced against it. If
this is true it has created an I'M
friendly atmosphere that not only will
impair the efficiency of the recreation
and amusement feature, but will of
itself practically defeat the object of
the Legislation"
Secretary Taft, in reply, said:
Il think you are correct in assum-
ing that a great majority of the Of
ficers in the army regard the anti
likely to increase drunkenness in the
ranks Indeed, | must admit to you
that as at present advised | share
your opinion"
The secretary says it was the in
tention of those who favored the
amendment to substitute for the can
teen commodious post exchange,

tenn is to be maintained or the can
teen with the privilege of drinking
beer and light wines only, will be
settled by congress after a careful in
vestigatiOn.
Secretary Taft said that while he
recognized the danger of formed
opinions coloring more or less iudg
ment as to results, obedience to or
ders is with army officers the first
soldierly virtue and if cautioned to
report facts impartially they will
obey the directions of constituted au'
thority. He then informed Mr. Little
field that he would transmit the cor
respondcrce, together with caution
to all officers, adding:
Il have no doubt of the good faith
and energy with which the officers OF
the army are carrying out the pur
pose of congress i'll providing the
post exchange and | don't think any
caution in this respect is needed"
In his circular to the army the sec
rotary of war requests officers who

1t is known from survivors who
have reached the city that several
small villages on the slope of the
mountain have been wiped out OF ex-
istence, and the death list must reach
far into the hundreds.
Great coffee plantations that have
furnished livelihood for hundreds of
natives and made the owners wealthy
have been completely ruined, and one
Spanish planter reports that his loss
alone is in the vicinity of 100000.
He was able to escape with his wife
and family in a carriage, but fear that
stream of lava that was following
them down the valley would overtake
them caused the party to abandon the
road and take to the higher country.
Many of the employees on his plan
tation he fears met death during the
first night of the eruption.
The reports of the eruption were
brought to San Francisco by the
steamer City of Sydney, from Panama.
Leon is a city of 1000 persons, and
so close is it to the fiery monster
that the atmosphere is almost suffer
eating and so full of cinders that it is
almost impossible to breathe.
The city is situated near Lake Mica
ragua and has come into Importance
| in the last few years on account OF
the fact that it is one of the largest
towns near the route of the Panama
canal.
Thirty years ago, when the las
serious eruption took place, more thar
500 persons lost their lives, and the
country for miles around was devas
tated. Those who remember tina
eruption state that its earlier stages
were not SO violent as the presen
one, and they express the fear that tn
present disturbance is only in its pr
mary stages.

CHINA WANTS INDEMNITY TOO.


Berlin, July 81 The Lokal Anzeiger
prints an interview with prominent
Chinese diplomatist, evidently the
Chinese minister at Berlin. who says
that the dowager empress and the en-
peror have sent circular letter to all
viceroys and governors and to Chinese
ministers abroad, asking them to state
fully their views as to what attitude
China should take in the settlement of
the Manchurian question.
The diplomatist further states that
China, in determining what indemnity
to demand from Russia, will include
not only the reduction in public reve-
nues during the war, but sum suffi-
cient to cover damages suffered through
years of illegal occupation of that coun-
try. He assumes that Japan will keep
her word and hand over Manchuria to
China, but thinks it will be impossible
for China to install the old form of
government there, since the improve
ments the Russians and Japanese have
introduced make modern system of
administration necessary. The diplo-
mat concludes:
"China will not longer play the role
OF mere spectator, but will assert her
claims with energy in the Portsmouth
negotiations and interesting develop
ments will certainly follow"

In the early stages OF the disease has
been admittedly high.
The most annoying feature of the sit

tighten the quarantine against the city.
That Is due to the feeling beyond the
city that 200 cases means serious sit

Italians from the infected French
market center has resulted in the APP
pearance of cases Of fever at various
points.
