Sends Strong Message to Congress with Rey-
nolds-Neill Report = Drastic Inspection of
Meat Urged-Serious Charges Against
Packers Are Substantiated
in Document.

I call special attention TO the fact
that this report is preliminary. and
that the investigation is still unfin-
ished. 1t is not yet possible to report
on the alleged abuses in the use OF
deleterious chemical compounds in
connection with canning and preserv-
ing meat products, nor on the alleged
doctoring in this fashion of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusabe from age or from other rea-
sons. Grave allegations are made in
reference to abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
Of stopping these abuses if they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation
is needed in order to prevent the pos
sibility of all abuses in the future.
If no legislation is passed, then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will
endure only so long as the memory
OF the committees work is fresh, and
a recrudescence of the abuses is alb
solutely certain.
Passage of Law Urged.

der which the work shall be per-

favorable consideration and urge the

verts in many unlikely places, even
the most hardened suffragette will be
interested in the news that Corea is
the latest scene OF war in the ladies'

elsewhere, and is interesting if only
from this point of view, as auguring
the possibilities of big united move

Of all progressive women.

Corean ladies desire, radical change in

HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary Of State "Had Q
Way with Him" That
Always Won.

Story Is told of the late John Hay
Illustrative Of that fine diplomatic
temperament that made his name
know all over the world, says the
American Spectator.
Some years ago Mr.. Hay sent Mr..
Alexander Gum, of Cleveland, for his
perusal the manuscript of an interest
ing bit of work by Mark Twain, en-
titled, "a Conversation as it was at
the Social Fireside in the Time of the
Tudors." Mr.. Hay knew that his
friend Gum, a connoisseur of litera-
ture and art, would be much interest,"
ed in what the former termed "seri-
Gus effort to bring back our literature
and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza
bethan standard"
Now it appears that Mr.. Gum was
so delighted with Twain's sketch that
he wrote to Mr.. Hay proposing to
print limited number of copies there
of for private distribution. II is said
that Mr.. Hay replied as follows:
THE proposition you make 10 pull
few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is
highly attractive, and, Of course, high
ly immoral. l cannot properly consent
to the suggestion, as | am afraid the
! great man would think | was taking
an unfair advantage of his confidence.
Accordingly, l will thank you to send
back the manuscript as soon as pos
sible; but If, in spite of my prohibit
ton, you take those proofs, save me
one"
1t was superfluous to add that. with
this hint, the proofs were pulled
one for Mr.. Hay and one for Mr..
Gum.

CHAPTER XIX.
On the Road to the Mine.

Dick is awakened on the following
morning by the strange cry of vege-
table vender shouting his wares along
the street. 1t is early, but there is
much to be done, so he hurries out
and begins the labor of the day.
Miss Pauline has left everything in
his charge, and when the caravan
finally reaches a point of readiness,
about half-past ten, it is as complete
an affair as could well be imagined.
Every man is we'll mounted and
armed bronchos carry tents and
stores. and there are riding horses for
Miss Pauline and Dora, strong. gentle
beasts, capable of doing much work.
Had Miss Westerly the selection of
her mount she might have purchased
an animal with more spirit in him, for
she is a natural horsewoman, and new
er more pleased than when breaking
in a steed inclined to be vicious. She
even gives Dick a reproachful look
when shown her steed. That worthy
hastens to prove how wisely he has
chosen-their course lies only now
and then through valleys or over
plains-as a general thing it is up the
rugged sides of mountains and over
the toughest of country.
Miss Pauline sees the point. and
laughingly declares her confidence in
his wise forethought-his practical
experience in this line ought to be Of
great benefit to them all.
So they leave the city about an hour
before noon--a small crowd to see
them off, and quite a number cheer
the American senior who afforded
them such rare sport on the previous
night.
About the same time another expe

direction of a gap which leads in tn
direction of the far-away mines.

my informant is Tampa Garcia,
one of the two Mexicans we have in
our train. He is a first class plains
man, but has been rather wild in his
day, so that Lopez believed he would
join them. Tampa took his money
and was in doubt what to do. The

around them. plenty of gay plumaged

So they go along, making good prog

With nature so lovely and prospects
so bright, with those they adore in
their company sixteen hours out of

comrades are happy?
True, they never forget that danger
hovers over them-that one of the
most remarkable schemers is pitted
against them, and that even while
they sleep he is endAavoring to weave
his spiders web about them.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
safety, and they do lot mean to be

Thus three days pass-they have met

metal. for the FL Dorado is now equip
