The LATEST NEWS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

by the rules, that it may be called
up for action on Saturday.
There are yet three points which
will receive discussion this morn
ing, but even on these the conferees
know the position of their number
SO well that the result may be pre-
dlcted with reasonable certainty.
OF the three points the arst is the
sleeping-car amendment The pre-
diction is that the sleeping-cars will
be included as common carriers" in
the bill. The second is the much
debated pipe line amendment, which
is to be settled by changing the words
common carriers" to railroads in
that portion of the bill relating to
the ownership of commodities.
The effect of this change will be to
exclude the pipe lines from the oper-
alton of the law forbidding ''rail-
roads" from owning Industrial prop
critics. The senate amendment, which
included lumber in the list Of COM
modities forbidden to be owned by
common carriers, will, it is said, be
retained in the bill. There has been
an unceasing effort to have this
amendment eliminated but SO far it
has been without avail.
The third point for further dis
cussion is the question of five days
notice that is required to be given
before the issuance Of the injunction
or inter-locutory order, making eff
fective a decrease Of commission. The
pass provision as tentatively agreed
upon will prohibit the issuance or
acceptance of passes to officers Of the
national government, officers of state
governments and officers of munic-
ipalities, counties and townships.
This is an entire prohibition, the
railroads being left to use their dis
cretion as to the issuance of passes
to persons not included in the above
enumeration. Members of congress
are included as officers of the ma
tional government.
The express companies are to be
regulated as common carriers The
much discussed words in its judg-
ment' and fairly remunerative' are
left out of the bill.
Z : s.i = . . IL = =
It is said that little If any dis
cussion is expected on conference in
the house as all of the senate amend
ments, to which attention was di-
rected in the house as being desirable
additions to the measure, have been
accepted by the conferees.
As the tentative report stood last
night the senate has done very little
receding from the amendments which
it placed in the bill.

EXPLAINS THE CLAIM THAT HE
HAS BECOME CONSERVATIVE
Using the Trust Question as An Ex-
ample He Shows that Persons Who
Were Once Considered Radical are
Now Considered Conservative
Says That Corporations Should be
Governed But Private Monopolies
Should be Exterminated.

Trondhjem, Norway, June 22.
William ]. Bryan who: has arrived
here to witness the coronation, TAX
ing for his text the statement that
he was being described as conserya-
tive. said yesterday:
II am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me, but I
am responsible for my position on
public questions. That position ought
to be well known, Take the y
question for instance, as it seems up
permost just now. MY position is
that private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. That was the Demo-
cratic platform in 1900 and the plank
was incorporated in 1904 and it is
the only tenable position.
There is some talk Of controlling
trusts but you might as we'll talk Of
controlling burglars. We do not say
men shall only steal in a particular
way, but that they shall not steal at
all. It is SO of private nionopolies.
1T is not sufficient to control or regu-
late them-they must be absolutely
and totally destroyed. Corporations
should be controlled and regulated,
but private monopolies must be ex-
terminated root and branch. Now
YOU can call that radical doctrine.
Yet it is more conservative to apply
this remedy now than to wait until
predatory wealth has by its lawless-
ness brought odium on legitimate ac-
cumulations.
What used to be called radical
is now called conservative, because
people have been Investigating. The
doctrine Of public sentiment is max
ing progress =
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend the
week in Norway and will then go to
England. They will sail from Glib
raltar for home at the end Of August.

Washington, d. G. June % The
unexpected occurred in the house
yesterday Instead Of taking up the

to the Hepburn pure food bill early
in the day, as was anticipated, it was
late in the afternoon before Repre-
sentatives James r. Mann Of Illinois
proceeded to champion the cause Of
pure ingredients and honest food
preparations: The delay was caused
by a long and earnest discussion Of
the conference report on the naval
appropriation bill, in which Repre-
sentative Foss OF Illinois, chairman Of
the committee, was defeated by the
other house leaders. The house was
not in q hlimor to accept a partial
conference report nor did 1t desire to
leave some of the senate amendments
without expressing its Judgment upon
them. In consequence, by close but
effective vote the conferees were in
structed to concur in the senate
amendment relating to the big battle

reported to congress before any pro-
posal Is accepted.

Test Of Strength Of Adherents Of

Washington, D. G. June %. The
senate yesterday took a position in
accorded with the president and the
house of representatives by declar-
ing for lock canal across the
lsthmus of Panama. The result was
reached few minutes after o'clock
and after days discussion that was
almost devoid of interesting incident
and quite out of keeping with the
universally acknowledged Importance
ofthe subject. There was only one
recorded vote in connection with the
disposition of the question and that
was in the negative, coming on a
motion to lay on the table lock-
type substitute bill for the sea-level
bill reported by the committee on
inter-oceanic canals. This motion
was made by Senator kittredge, the
committee champion Of the sea-level
plan, and was voted down 81 to &c..

Halt Conee as Food.

A Russian army doctor attached to
the ed Turkestan Rifle Battalion has
been making some interesting expert
ments in the matter of nourishing SOL
diers. DR.. Cyrillus Koljago adminis-
tered to ten men for ten days malt cof-
fee as their sole beverage, with the re-
suit that their weight increased during
the time to, the extent of 832 grammes
a man. A like experiment was made
BY giving tea to the same number OF
men of similar constitutions and for
the same number Of days, and in their
case the doctor certified a decrease of
weight per man to the extent of $40
grammes. He then put the twenty men
together back on to tea, and those whose
weight had been so signally increased
by the malt coffee had within ten days
lost Go grammes a head. The doctor
now states what is very important to
note, namely, that his experiments have
led him to believe that it is not merely
the nourishing attributes of the malt
coffee which mark this increase, but
that its effect is mainly to increase the
action of the digestive organs, enabling
them to draw from all other food taken
the utmost quantity of nourishmeni
each may contain.

The Docking of Horses.

Agitation is promised to urge the pas
sage of lawss against docking horses,
and owners Of horses are being petit
toned to join in the crusade. Dealers
never dock horses, except at the re-
quest of a buyer. To offer horse for
sale with bob tail is to create the sus-
picion that it is second hand" one that
has seen service before in the city, in
stead of being fresh from green past
ures. Yet the dealers rarely sign such
petitions. They declare that the opera
ton of docking is not excessively pain
full and is atoned for by the easy life
it leads to- To have the tail shortened
is the initiation the rough horse pays
to gain the comfort and light duties of
a private stable.
Fashion is not the only reason to act
uate the buyers in having their horses
docked, but it is the principal one. A
few say that the shortening of the tail
makes for cleanliness, as the tail does
not become draggled with mud and dust

He Had Had Experience.

As the fearless white man entered the
kraal Of the native king, salute wa;
sounded on drum of serpent skin, and
six warriors with necklaces of human
teeth rafting about their throats, lea
him before a rough ivory dias, on which
sat- a majestic and formidable figure.

out loss of time, he took out one OF ms
brass watches, wound it up, and showed

smile. Last year." he added, in Lon

Mr.. Junius Smith in the forties made

Asia and distributed tea seed by the

when docked, and another set MAIN
tains that it is really comfort to a
horse to remove the heavy useless mass
of hair. City horses do not Craze in
pasture, so the argument that the
switching of the long tail keeps away
mosquitoes and flies has no value in
this argument; but a decided objection
may be voiced against the nuisance
switching tails would be to horse or
pair in heavy harness. All style and
grace in front action, pair with hang
ing tails would look as untidy other
wise as woman in bedraggled skirts.
So said q coaching amateur, and he had
plenty to add to the plea for docking.
Essentially docking is not painful
operation" continued this driving man.
1--WE do not feed the horse on the
morning of. the operation, and when it
is brought into the operating stall the
horse at once begins to MUNICH eagerly
on the oats in the manger. A canvas
hammock is flung under its belly and
the horse is hoisted to its tiptoes by
pulleys, when gate is stuck across the
stall close to its heels and the tail pull
ed over, the fiat top rail making an
table. A stout twine is tied
tight about the tail at the point to be
severed. The hair is turned back and
bound, exposing the bare skin.
"A few short jabs with a surgeons
knife and the tail is severed. Mean
while, cauterizing iron has been
brought to white heat in a charcoal
hand fire, and the next act is to scar
the cut with the iron. The horse
winces. but It does not take the tenth
part of second to seal up the wound.
As soon as the iron is taken off the
horse will resume its munching of oats,
and except while the cauterizing iron d
applied It feeds without q check through
out tho entire operation.
No one knows what the horses think
about it. That docking is cruel may be
granted, but the gains to the horse
seem to counterbalance the hurts. All
of which sounds a good deal like an
argument made by an interested party
as an excuse for continuance of .
practice almost universally condemned.
