BROKEN EGGS STILL EGGS
Appraiser Holds That They Must -
Levied Upon Though. Sold to
Consumer by the Gallon.

New York.-General Appraiser
Waite, for the board of general ap-
praisers, has just handed down a de-
cision o%verruling the protest of l.. E.
Spencer against the assessment OF
duty by the collector at Detroit at five
cents a dozen upon an importation OF
eggs from which the shells had been
removed. The decision says:
1T seems. that in handling eggs for
expectation from Canada many OF
them are cracked or broken. From
these shells they are removed, and
are imported into the United States
and sold by the gallon, and are used
the same way as any eggs would be
used, by bakers and confectioners.
mo change whatever is made n
the condition of the eggs except that
the shell is removed. We think. eggA
would remain eggs whether sold by
the bushel, gallon, or by. the dozen.
Hence our conclusion Is that the as
sessment by the collector was right"

THE FRENCH MINE HORROR
The Number of Deaths is Now Placed
at 1900 to 1,3OO-A Scientific
Mine Theory Exploded.

Paris.-The most reliable reports
from Courrieres as to the approximate
number of casualties in the great mine
disaster there Saturday give the figures
at between 1900 and 1900. 1t is prob
able that the exact number of those
who lost their lives will never be
known, owing to the fact that many
bodies probably were destroyed by the
fire which ragged through the mines.
The three shafts are guarded by mil
itary, and the rescue is being continued.
There is little hope, however.
NJ. DeHaynite, millionaire coal mer-
chant and leading authority in France
on the subject of mine construction, in
an interview on the disaster, said:
THE catastrophe marks the collapse
of the scientific mining theory alleg-
ing that protection is furnished by
joining the galleries to allow means Of
escape. With the old system of single
or double galleries disasters are limited
to 200 or 800 casualties at the most"

ly voted 100000 for the relief of the
victims of the risaster. end the Min
ers' association appropriated $4,000 for
the same purpose.

AN ADDITIONAL DISASTER
A Rescue Party of Men
Lose Their Lives In the Cour-
rieres COIIiery.

Paris.-An additional and awful dis
aster following upon the terrible
calamity that befell the workers
in the coal mine at Courrieres on Sat-
urday, has cast it's shadow over the
stricken town. A party. said to consist
of II men, who went into the mine for
the purpose of recovering the bodies
of those who persisted On Saturday, lost
their lives in the undertaking. They
had descended in spite of the recognized
danger of the attempt, and in the face
of the engineers warnings against
making a further effort.
Late in the day, after several hours
of ventilation of pit No. 2, a party OF
W~estphalian rescuers. sent at the re-
quest Of Emperor William, were au-
thorized to descend. They succeeded in
penetrating a long distance and recov-
cred 200 bodies, which they brought UP.

IN BEHALF OF COMRADES
Commander Tanner of the G.. A. n.
Protests Against Proposed Re-

Washington, D. C.-"Corporal" James
Tanner, commanGer-in-chief of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, has writ
ten a letter to Representative James
A, Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman Of
the house committee on appropriations,
protesting vigorously against the action
of Mr.. Tawney's committee in recon-
mending the enactment Of a law reduc-
cling the compensation Of government
clerks after they have attained the age
of 65 years.
"Corporal' Tanner writes particu-
larly in behalf of his comrades of the
civil war, many of whom, now en-
ployed in the government service,
would be affected seriously by the pro-
posed reduction in compensation.
Corporal Tanner ventures the as
sertion to Mr.. Tawney that you won't
find a confederate soldier behind your
BILL" and, incidentally, pays a tribute
to a confederate b~rigadier, who refused
to permit a single one of the union vet
Grams to be disturbed when he had the
power to remove them.

shows, each is accused of having per-
sonally participated in the crime

charges is that the accused men placed
a deadly box or bomb, filled with giant
powder, caps, sulphuric acid and other
explosives at the gate in front of Frank
Steunenberg's residence with the inten-
tiCn of killing him. One count charges
the actual numbering of ~Steunenberg by

climax of a day devoted exclusively to
that bill. Most of the time was given
to discussion, but the voting on the bill
and amendments consumed an hour
and a half. The speech making excited
comparatively little interest, but there
was pronounced excitement throughout
the voting period, and it eliminated

eliminate Arizona and New Mexico

The test vote, upon which the op-
pOnents of joint statehood showed their
greatest strength, was on the For
aker amendment, which provided
that Arizona and New Mexico
should have an opportunity to vote
separately on the proposition of joint
statehood. This was carried by a vote
of ~ to %.

SHOULD A HORSE

CLIPPING m THE EARLY sPEiNo
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"a horse is a valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed, comfortably
stabbed. carefully groomcd and clipped
In the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required non Of these
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticated
animal, being worked under condi-
tons that are in themselves artificial.
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping Of a horse in the early
spring is now conceded, by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to a horses well being as shoeing
him or giving him a comfortable bed

France have been clipping their

farmers are not slow to realize its
advantages. A clipped horse dries

Senate.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Kendrick
some time ago to make a supplementary
appropriation for the Confederate veter-
ans of the State, which was accompanied
by a favorable report from the commit
tee on pensions, was taken up. The bill
~appropriates $3.50, 900 additional each
year, 19O6-'97, or just double the amount
appropriated by the House bill, which
has already been enacted.
Mr.. Greaves moved to amend by strik-
ing out 5000, 900 and inserting instead
the sum of $50, 900. The bill as amend
ed was then put to the vote and lost, the
vote being 10 yeas and 10 nays, the af-
firmative vote lacking four in order to
constitute a clear majority of all the
Senators.
The bill defining and furnishing the
crime of adultery was then taken up
and killed by a vote of Is for to Is
against, the opposition being based more
on the difficulty of enforcing such a law
than from objection or opposition to It'll
intent.
The bill to encourage and promote
horticulture, to protect the fruit and
truck growers of the State and provide
for inspection by or under the direction
of the State entomologist, was then tax
en- up and provoked a lively fight and
animated discussion of the whole sub
iect of fruit growing, pomology, horti-
culture, truck growing, the boil weeviI
and kindred subjects. The bill was re-
committed.
The Senate, by unanimous vote, put
itself on record on the G.. 0. ID. liquor
question by adopting, without change or
amendment, the McLaurin bill to regu-'
late the tra%c. The feature CT the ball
is the provision that it shall be unlawful
for anyone receiving what is commonly
known as G. Q. D. %vinous, alcoholic or
malt liquor, from any express company.
or any common carrier, to remove it
more than 100 feet from the depot, Of
fee or other building where it is deliv-
cred by such common carrier. And, fur
thermore, that he shall not be. permitted
to sell any of such liquor, or give 1t
away. Violation of this act shall be
construed the same as for the illicit sale
of liquor. None but a regularly licensed
dealer shall be permitted to remove such
c. o. d. liquor from the place o. deliv-
cry by express company or common car
rier.
The Senate passed the Beauvoir Sol
diers' Home bill. The bill carries the
sum of $4s,9S2 for the two years, whick
is apportioned as follows: Support fun6
1906. $4,000; same for 1907, $17,25O;
buildings and repairs, 5000; uniforms,
So. 900; artesiar well, $1,000; new hos
pital, $3.50 This was all that the trus-
tees asked for. The Senate committee
submitted an amendment to the bill as
it came from the House, providing each
inmate of the home, in lieu of pension,
which they are not entitled to receive
while there, with the sum of $50 eack.
YER year, as pocket and pin money. The
amendment was agreed to and then the
