1t Was a Duel to the Death.

another a big South Australian brown
draught bull and the third handsome
fawn.colored COW.
Kingsley, | must say, had noticed
for some time that sort of love jeal-
ousy had sprung up between the two
bulls over the COW camel. There is
little doubt that rivalry in love for the
female was the cause of the fray
when the fight started we ran into
the field and yentured as near the
combatants as we dared hiding our
selves behind some scrub timber.
when we got under cover the two
bulls seemed to be maneuvering for
a chance to get in an effective blow
or hold, although they were some
yards apart. They were both mad all
through.
The COW camel, meantime, was sit
ting down so yards away, calmly
watching the fight.
Suddenly the brown bull, setting
his legs like mighty columns of mar
BILE on the firm ground, drew his head
well back and waited. The Indian,
on the other hand, drew his slender
and more shapely legs well under him
and crouched low His neck was
strained to its utmost. his h, ad almost
touched the ground, while foam flew
from his jaws.
Slowly the black fellow crept on I'M
iii within few feet of the brown, and
then with spring of indescribable
swiftness he dashed forward and
seized the off foreleg of the brown in
his bony jaws and jerked the leg
across to the near side, trying to hurl
the brown on his flank; but the big
fellow had evidently been there before
for he dropped like flash of light
black by the withers with his teeth.
crushing the black head down with
his neck he put all his giant strength
into his work and fairly heeled the
Indian Off his legs, tearing away great
Jumps of flesh. hair and hide with one
effort
Then he bounded to his feet and
threw himself forward with all his
mighty weight to try and crush the
Indian; bur the Indian shot under him
as he came like lightweight boxer
under the long left hand of a heavy
weight, and, turning with electric
speed, he seized the brown bun by the
heel of his near hind leg and threw
him clean and square upon his back.
and then dashed in upon him, irving

When the black bun placed his

The Conference HOpeIessIy Divided On The
 Question of Paying the Cost
The House Members Stand by the Substitute Provision and Refuse to Entertain any Compromise Proposition The Rate Bill Still in the Air.

Washington, June 27.-An absolute deadlock on the meat inspection amendment to the agricultural appro- priation bill was. reported by Senator Proctor to the senate late today after three sessions of the conferees had been held.
 The Vermont senator said that the house cOnferees had declined to con- slider any compromise on the subject of the payment of the cost of inspec- tion by the packers.
 !, The senate conferees. he said, offer ed to compromise, upon a tax of five cents a head on cattle, and three cents a head on sheep and goats, to be col lected into the treasury the same as other revenues. He read the compro- mise proposition, showing that the $3,OOO,000 appropriation approved by the house would remain in the bill and the cost of inspection would be paid therefroIn. In reply to question from Senator Hale, he said that the tax would amount to about one-haIf of the appropriation.
 The third conference of the day had been concluded a short time before Senator Proctor made his statement At that conference he offered the compromise proposition which was met by the house conferees with the argument that it would be unconstitu- tional on the ground that congress has no authority to levy a direct tax upon chattels.
 In making his statement Senator Proctor said the conferees had agreed on practically all items. but that the house conferees had positively refused to consider any compromise He then related the particulars of the provis- ion regarding the cost of inspection. and added that the house conferees had absolutely declined to sign the report unless the house provision should be accepted letter for letter He said the effect of the position taken by the house would be to cause the failure of the legislation and the gen eral arrest of business.
 MT. Hale then spoke of the gravity of the situation and advised that the senate refrain from further comment that might excite feelings. My i'm pression is that we will do well to leave 1t over night where it is. and that we should do nothing to inflame the situation in the hope that better counsel will prevail tomorrow"
 MT. Hale then, in pursuance of his suggestion to let the matter lie over. moved an adjournment, but he sub sequentiy withdrew the motion in or der to permit an executive session.
 The senate passed the naturalization bill.

THE SIATE RAIDS
 KANSAS JOINTS
Wholesale Destruction of Saloon
 Property at K. (. Kan.

Kansas City. Kan, June 27.-The anti-saloon crusade was given a new impetus at Kansas City. Kan, today. when raids were authorized on forty saloons, joints. as they are called, run ming in violation of the state prohibi- tion law. Many of the joint proprietors hurriedly closed their places. and some moved or made preparations to remove their fixtures.
 Since the inauguration of the present crusade, which was started by Cover nor Hoch, ten saloons have been raid- ed! Today the liquors and costly fix lures from three of these places, val ued at about S50OO, were destroyed by Sheriff Cornell on an order from Judge Holt of the court of common pleas Last week Judge Holt ordered the fx- lures burned at public bonfire, but this idea was reconsidered today, and the, sheriff and his assistants, armed with axes and picks, demolished the highly polished bars, tables and chairs, bot ties and barrels of liquor.
 The fixtures and liquors destroyed belonged to three different brewing companies operating on the Missouri side. and were seized last week

Bailey Replies to Latest BrOddSide of David
 Graham Phillips
He Does Not Take Personal View of the Attack On Him but Desires to Remark That the Magazine is Pariah of Journalism.

Washington, June 27.-The first re- ply in the senate to the series of ar- ticles running through the Cosmopol- itan magazine, under the head of the Treason of the Senate" was made to- day by Senator Bailey of Texas, who spoke especially of the attack upon himself and generally of the attacks on other senators.
 The Texas senator read a portion of his speech from manuscript. and he spoke with even more than his ordi- nary deliberation. Beginning with the statement that he did not make it a practice to take notice of criticisms, he said that the fact that the CosmopoI- itan is owned by a member of con- gross takes this case out of the general rule. He then spoke of the published matter as false and offensive" but said that he did not propose to con- slider it from a personal standpoint, because it is of a kind which, if dealt with in that way, would require diff ferent place"
 He then added: 'Indeed. if I con- sidered it purely and only from a per sonal point of view, I should not regard 1t as worthy of any notice; for nothing which this magazine can say will in- Jure me with my constituents or in the estimation of those with whom I have served in either house of congress But" he went on, "I cannot free my self from the belief that owe if to the American people to show what manner of men these are who are striving to destroy popular faith in the integrity of public servants"
 He then said that he had been in- formed that several months ago the Cosmopolitan had been sold to w. R. Hearst, and that immediately after ward "The Treason of the Senate ar ticles had begun to appear. He then declared that instead of being written with care and with regard to the truth these articles ''have been so manifestly designed to prejudice rather than to inform the public that intelligent men have laid them aside in absolute dis gust. Still, some people seemed to expect replies"
 He did not feel at liberty to speak of the attacks upon living senators. but considered himself not thus bound with reference to the article about Senator German, who, he said, had been grossly abused when on his deathbed. and even pursued beyond the grave
 MT. Bailey then discussed at length the charge in the magazine article that he had lent himself to a scheme where by the antitrust law of Texas had been evaded by a foreign corporation
Arizona republican., 1906-06-28

Of this he said that it had been thor oughly investigated by the very legis- lature which elected me to the senate. and it was shown to be so entirely un- just and absurd that the decent men among my most implacable enemies in Texas no longer discuss it.''
 The Texas senator also made refer ence to the magazine charges that he had been a party to an effort to cheat the Indians of the Indian territory out of their coal lands, which would have been successful but for the efforts of Senator La Toilette He then called upon MT. La Toilette to say whether he (Bailey) had not co-operated with him in what he (La Follette) had done.
 The Wisconsin senator responded promptly, saying: "I take great pleas ure in saying that I conferred with the senator from Texas before I offered anything bearing upon the disposition of the coal lands of the Indian terri tory and that I received valuable ad- vice as to what proposed to do."
 MT. Bailey spoke in praise of the generality of newspapers and maga- zines, and compared the Cosmopolitan to the outcasts of society. Such pub lications as this," he said should be scourged from the company of we'll behaved men and women: they should be Outlawed by the united contempt of honest men,"
 MT. Bailey had a large and attentive audience. both in the galleries and on the senate floor, the latter element In- cluding many of MT. Hearst's col leagues in the house. When he con- cluded he was loudly applauded and warmly congratulated by senators and members.

YOUNG THAW
 CALLED SANE By Experts Retained by
 the State
The Murderer of White SKiIlfuIly Avoided Their Efforts to Investigate His Mental Condition.

New York, June 27.-That Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, is perfectly sane was the report made to- day by the alienists retained by the district attorneys office to examine into the prisoners mental condition. This report was made after the physi- clans had spent an hour with Thaw, who. in defiance of the advice of his counsel. former Judge Olcott. refused to answer any questions, and declared that nothing short of actual force would compel him to submit to a phys teal examination.
 When the committee of physicians called upon the prisoner Thaw said firmly, as the first member was intro duced to him. Dr. McLane Hamilton retained for the defense: "I beg your pardon; I will answer no questions whatever" Then began a general con- yersation on trivial subjects by Drs Flint and Hamilton. Thaw deftly par rying any questions that had any bear ing on his mental or physical condition Finding him obdurate. the doctors hur- riedly summoned MT. Olcott but to him Thaw Vehemently reiterated his determination to answer no questions.
 Mrs. Thaw was pe'. mitted to see her husband for the first time since his arrest. She came to the Tombs in carriage, accompanied by her hus- bands brother, Joseph c. Thaw. The meeting between husband and wife was affectionate, and they remained togeth- CT. talking in an undertone, for nearly an hour. Thaw also received visit from his sister, Mrs. George c. Car negie, and Clifford w. Hartridge of Pittsburg.
 Before visiting the Tombs, Mrs. Thaw had a long conference with for mer Judge OIcott and Frederick Dela-' field, at which it was said the line of defense was discussed and the inten- ton to interpose plea of insanity was confirmed.
 No less than twenty witnesses were examined in connection with the case by the district attorneys office today. Among the most prominent of these was Thaw's valet William Bedford, who has been in his service for six years and is believed to be conversant with the events which are supposed to have been the immediate incentive to the crime.
