ADJOURNMENT JULY FIRST
This Is the Earliest Date Congress Can
Adiourn.
TIE BAD STORY OF IMPURE
MEAT.
The Enemies Of q Canal Are Fight
ing For Sea Level Schsme-Demo-
cratic Blundering and False Hopes
Congressman Laudis Great Speech
Before the N. G. Republican Club.

Washington, ID. C., June u, 1906.
Special The caueasion.
II now looks that Congress could
not adjourn before July 1st. Much
has been done during the last week,
but mueh yet remains 10 be done.
Lock or Sea-Level Canal.
Congress has not yet decided wheth-
er the Panama Canal shall be of the
lock or sea-level structure. 1t is to
the former, il eau be built for less
than 500, ,000,0 900 and can be finished
within say five or six years. If il is
10 be of the latter type is will cost
more than four times as much and
I take two or three times as much time.
Those who are against any ca
mails are favoring the sea-level pro-
iect.
Impure Meat Revelations.
The facts brought out of the inves-
tigation by the presidents inspectors
Of the conditions prevailing in the
packing houses in Chicago and all
over the country will not increase the
appetite of the American people for
canned and packers house meat. II
seems that the packing houses are
very dirty and filthy places, and that
the employees, some of whom have
consumption, are permitted to spit on
the floor where the meat is living. Be-
sides it is charged that diseased hogs
and cattle and meat that is decaying
are all used and sold.
The President has called upon Con.
gress to pass a law providing for the
most rigid government investigation
of all meat that is packed by the
Armours or other packing houses. The
law will probably be passed.
Democratic Fatuous Hopes.
The Democrats are flounderine
around without an object, but trying
to find something to oppose. They
are never very much for anything
They are always happiest when they
are opposing something. They seem
most capable of knowing a good thing
when they see it. but they always
fail to see it. They don't know how
to build up. They only try to teal
down. They are now grinding out
campaign speeches, but no two OF
them sound alike, except that they are
all opposed to something. They are
even against the present prosperity
They will never be happy till they re-
turn to the calamity days of Grover
Cleveland and five cents cotton.
Congressman Lands Speech.
The North Carolina Republicans in
Washington are now regretting very
much that they did not have a steno-
grapher at the last meeting of the
North Carolina Republican Club to
take down in full the speech of Con
gresham Lands of Indiana. 1t was
a very fine effort. All agree that il
would make a great campaign docrl-
ment. 1t was most convincing speech
A regular note maker. But he will
| probably be at the next Republican
State Convention.

WAR ON GYPSY MOTH.

State Entomologist Believes It Is Under
 Control.
 The ravages of the troublesome gypsy moth, which has located in Connecticut for the first time in the borough of Stonlngton, have met with strenuous measures on the part of the authorities to prevent their further increase, and Entomologist w. E. Britton of this city is at the head of the work of exter- imitation. Entomologist Britton re- ports that after the first burning of q strip of brush and woodland of about five acres there were few of larvae that escaped the fire that developed. These few are being successfully de- stroyed by gathering them under bur lap attached to the trunks of the trees.
 MT Britton feels sure that the pest is now under control and that there will be no further spread of these de- structive bugs. It has cost the state some over $500 or the $1OOO appropria- ton made for the purpose. Only prompt and efficient action accomplished the work
