SENATE LEADERS AGREED

Washington, May S.-Senator Cullom to-
 day presented the Allison amendments
 to the railroad rate bill. They will be
 printed and lie over until they are reach ed in their regular order.
 The reading of the Allison amendment on which Senate leaders are agreed, was l listened to with great interest, and at it's conclusion the amendments were hur- ried to the printing office with instrue- | tions to have them printed and returned l to the Senate today. The language after striking out the words "Falrly remunera- | tive in section of the bill provides 1 for the insertion after the word ore l scribed' the following:
 "All orders of the commission except orders for the payment of money shall take effect within such reasonable time | and shall continue in force for such pe- riod of time not exceeding two years as shall be prescribed in the order of the commission"
 flying when orders of the commission shall take effect is stricken out. Then comes in the original Allison amendment providing for the bringing of suits against the commission, and after
 the word office is to be inserted the following:
 And if the order or requirement has been made against two or more carriers, then in the district where any one of
 said carriers has it's principal operating office, and if the carirre has it's princi- pal operating office In the District of Columbia, then the venue shall be in the district where said carrier has it's prin- cipal office and Jurisdiction to hear and deterntine such suits is hereby vested in such courts.'
 In the same section after the word suits is to be inserted, including the

Mexico City, May s.-The trial of An tonic Couttelene and Francisco Rangeb his nephew, at Puebla, accused of the murder of Gustovo Stein, formerly the Italian consul at Kansas City, is in pro- gress and is the medium of intense in- terest. owing to the prominence of the parties involved. Coutteene being worth BIO 000, GOO, and Stein's estate being large and important one.
 A sensational fact alleged at trial was that Stein believed his wife guilty of im- proper conduct while accompanying Cout- telene to the United tSates. Couttelene financed some of Stein's undertakings.
 Rangel declares that he fired the fatal shot while defending his uncle, but the testimony of experts differ with him on this point. Gustovo Stein, the murdered man, had many business relations with Americans in the United States, particu- larly in Boston,

BEEF MAKING.
sflage the Best Roughage-It Gives
Superior Finish.

An experiment was recently carried
on at the Virginia station with sixty
head of beef cattle for the purpose Of
comparing the relative feeding value of
silage, stover and timothy hay. The
cattle were divided into groups. and
each group was fed one of these three
roughages, together with corn and cob
meal and linseed meal
The largest gain per head per day was
made by the group which received silage
There was a difference of from three
tenths TO five-teaths of a pound of gain
per head per day in favor of the silage
fed cattle They also finished out bet
ter and, II is claimed, would In any
| discriminating market certainly bring
better price than the dry fed cattle
or the three forms of roughness fed
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish and absolutely no waste.
An Unappreciated Point.
The relative merit of different forms
OF rOughness in feeding cattle is not
fully appreciated. The silage fed cat
tie In this experiment made an average
gain of LAG pounds, the slower fed cat
tie .97 pound and the hay fed cattle
Ito pounds. Also bear in mind the
consumption of grain for pound of
gain and the Importance of selecting
and utilizing palatable roughness
that is cheap and well suited to the
needs of cattle will be more clearly
appreciated.
The average consumption of grain
for pound of gain with slage was
6.54 pounds, with stover Ills pounds,
or nearly twice as much, and with hay
500 pounds, or 245 pounds more per
head than with the silage fed cattle.
Things Cottlemen Should Know.
The results of this test, in the opinion
Of Professor Andrew NJ. Soule, bring
to light facts worthy of the careful
consideration Of cattlemen everywhere
namely, that various forms of rough
ness which are now not generally util-
lied can be fed to beef cattle to the
greatest advantage; that silage, after
all, will enable the feeders to maintain
their animals at lower cost and to
secure greater gains than they have
heretofore obtained; that animals to
be fed for Immediate slaughter can
safely receive silage as the sole rough
ness. Animals so fed will kill out a
high per cent of dressed meat, will ship
well and will show superior finish to
animals fed on dry, coarse roughness.
