Declares Charges Against Officials on
the lsthmus Are Actuated by Malice
and Found Untrue on Investigation.
Senator German criticises the High
Salaries Paid and Urges an inquiry
by Congress.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The senate
during the day gave attention tc the
Panama canal, the situation in Santo
Domingo and the merchant marine
shipping bill. The canal question came
up in connection with a message from
the president in which among other
things he invited the closest scrutiny
Into all that had been done by the gov
ernment in the Isthmus of Panama.
Mr.. German made that utterance the
text for a speech in which he criti-
cised the salaries paid in connection
with work for the canal and urged con-
gressional inquiry. He urged the
president is not SO much to blame as
congress for his assumption Of control
On the Isthmus and the chief mistake
had been made when congress re-
leased its hold on canal affairs. Mr..
Hale agreed with Mr.. German in urg
Ing an assertion of the rights of con-
Bress in connection with the canal and
said that while congress had delegated
the matter to the president, the latter
practically had referred the whole mat
ter back to congress.
President Roosevelt's message trans
mitted to congress the annual reports
Of the Isthmian canal commission and
also said that all the charges made
against officials on the Isthmus were
Rctuated by malice and were all found
to be untrue upon investigation.

voiles which must be noted as being
exceedingly serviceable as well as
dainty, both for separate blouses and
for the entire gown.
The waist is made with the yoke,
which is cut in two portions, the front
and the backs. Both front and backs
are tucked at their upper edges and
are Joined to the yoke, the closing be-
ing made invisibly at the left. The
sleeves are moderately full, finished
with deep fitted cuffs, which allow a
choice of the straight or pointed upper
edges.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is three yards twenty
one, two and three-quarter yards TWEEN
ty-seyen or one and three-quarter
yards forty four inches wide with one
and quarter yards of tucking and
three and a quarter yards of insertion
to make as illustrated.
The waist consists of fitted lining,
which can be used or omitted as pre-
ferred, the front and the backs. The
yoke is simply applied over the waist
and the long cuffs can be either faced
onto the Innings or attached to the full
portions of the sleeve when the waist
is left unlined.

No matter how many fancy and elab-
crate blouses the wardrobe may con-
tain, there are always occasions when
a plain one is in demand. Illustrated
is model that is susceptible of great
many variations, that is so simple as
to be quite easily and readily made,
and which is suited both to the silk
and to the wool materials and to the
simple washable ones. In the iliustra-
ton it is made of white lawn with
the wide yoke and cuffs of eyelet en-
broidery, but this applied yoke can be
of any contrasting material and can be
made either on the pointed outline or
on the square one as may be liked.

Indian Debt Paving.

The Indians are honest, but their
rent money is not always enough to
pay their debts, so the debts continue,
says M. G. Cunniff in the Worlds
Work. Mr.. Miller declares that they
now owe him $4,000. One owed him
$500 on certain settling day. He
owed another man 5000. He was re-
ceiving from the agent $500, 500 of
which he had immediate need for. He
tucked away his own 500 and then
paid the other man.

the load by means &C a lever. At the
inner end of the lever is terminal
pin which engages with the teeth on
the rack-bar. AS a means for locking
the rack-bar preparatory to taking a
new grip, latch is provided. Secured
to the lower end of the bar is ring
or link, to which is fastened in any
manner one end of chain or rope for
attachment to the stump, rock or
other article to be extracted. After
the chain has been attached to the
stump the lever is operated, which
forces the rack-bar up a notch, after
which fresh hold is secured and the
operation repeated. BY making the
frame strong and the lever long an
immense amount of power can be con-
centrated; in fact, plenty to extract
ordinary stumps or rocks.

The shocked frock, says a writer in
Harper's Bazaar, dates back to the thir-
teenth century, when it was worn by
women and girls, and was, of course,
richly decorated with needlework.
again, in England, during the early
part of the nineteenth century, a
smock frock was worn, but this time
by the farm hands, countrymen, etc.
1t was a loose garment, like a mans
night shirt but made of coarse holland
or Jean. These were gathered at the
wrists and neck and worked with elab-
crate stitches, falling loose to below
the knee" The smock, with its all
but forgotten needlework decorations,
was revived some years ago by makers
of artistic gowns in London, and had
great vogue for time. One we'll
known house still makes a speciality
of waists and gowns with this work.
For little girls slips nothing prettier
was ever devised.

Too Cheap.

An Omaha man who claims he can
live on nine cents a day has received
hundreds Of letters from women who
want to marry him. This seems to
prove the statement that there are .
great many women in this country
who would be glad to marry If they
could afford to support a husband.
Many Of these women presumably
earn almost enough to warrant them
In securing one of these Injuries, and
Ia man who can be fed for 63 cents q

Phenomena of Lightning.

All the phenomena OF lightning and
all it's forms are determined, doubt
less, by the kind and amount of re-
sistance it encounters. It's light is
due to the resistance of the atmos-
phere. Its noisy and often terrifying
but quite harmless. accompaniment
of thunder, is due to the sudden
separation and reunion of bodies of
air from sudden heating and cooling,
and perhaps in part to the explosion
of gases into which watery vapor
IS decomposed by the intense. heas
of electrical flashes, the result OF
such explosion being their recombina-
ton in the proportions of water.

The farmers cart off wagon-loads of
