President Roosevelt's Panama Mes
sage to Be Reprinted.

President Roosevelt's Panama message is
to be reprinted for the Senate in normal"
spelling Senator Kittredge today secured
the adoption Of an order for the printing Of
1900 copies of the message. Senator Lodge
remarked, 1.-The sense of the House is that
documents printed by order of Congress
sha l be in what / may call normal SPELL
ing. and l suggest that the message be
printed in normal spelling"
This suggestion was concurred in.
This proposition to use the ordinary SPELL
ing. will involve a very large amount of
labor at the government printing office,
as it is customary after setting up matter
for publications of this sort to have it
stereotyped, when the. type is thrown In the
melting pot. The stereotype plates, of
course can be preserved. but in order to
obtain another set of plates with correct
spelling tie whole message will have to be
set up and stereotyped as in the first In
stance. sfs=
Senator Lodges motion to use the normal
instead of the simplified- spelling met prac-
tically unanimous approval In the Senate.

'ly held 1t. An attempt by Attorney Gem
eral Hadley Of Missouri. the cross-exam-
liner. to learn the exact position Teagie
held with the Republic Oil Company was
not successful
The witness replied to many questions
in this connection that he could not re-
member. Nor could he remember what
salary he received from the Republic OH
Company, further than that he Though
it was a fairly good salary. He went
into the export department of the Stand

with fire insurance stocks;
The announcement OF the reinsurance Of
the policies Of the METROPOLITAN Fire lnsut-
ance Company, to be followed by the
liquidation of that company, has drawn at,
tention to corporations of this class, ana
the opinion has been expressed that 1t
would not be surprising II some similar ar
rangement might not be made In the hear
future In regard to one or two of the other
companies doing this kind of business.
The figures for the common stock Of the
Washington Railway and Electric Company

The harness used by these people, it is also
declared, is usually a patchwork of old

the police courts and fined for cruelty in
using superannuated. decrepit, ill-nourished,
