General Grosvenor belongs to the old
school of politicians. He was born in
1888 and came out of the Rebellion a
brevet brigadier general of volunteers.
He practiced law, but politics has been
his profession for twenty years, and
he soon made wide reputation as one
of the most fOrceful speakers in the list
Of Republican spellbinders. During the
two Mckinley campaigns General Gros-
venor made hit by predicting Repub-
lican success, naming the States the
party would carry and guessing the re-
spective pluralities. These feats won
him the nickname "Old Statistics" In
Congress he is called the Sage of Ath-
ems" as his heme is at Athens, O..
General Grosvenor was elected to
Congress first in 1884 and has served
continuously since then, with the ex-
being defeated in 1892 when the Demo-
Gratis swept the country and elected
Grover Cleveland. His long series made
him a power at Washington and with
Speaker Cannon, Payne of New York,
Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Hepburn
of Iowa he is considered one of the
wheel horses of the Republican organ
ization. General Grosvenor was a dele
gate at large to the national conven-
lions of 1896 and 1900. He is chairman
of the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries.
Mr. Douglas, who beat General GroS-
yenor, is a lawyer, 80 years old, and a

Ohio in 1899, but was defeated. In
1896 he was a presidential elector on
the Mckinley ticket. Mr.. Douglas is a

FARMERS IN BIG COMBINE.
Over 100000 VIII Hold Products
for Maximum Price.

A combine of all the farmers of the
West to hold products for higher prices
has been formed, with headquarters in
Indianapolis. Over 100000 farmers are
in the organization, which is known as
the American Sons of Equity. A general
call was sent out recently selecting
March / as the time for the movement to
begin. Beginning with that date the
farmers are to hold their products, espe-
ciaIly wheat, until they can obtain such
prices as are decreed as equitable by Off
Gals of the organization. The word is
being passed through all the wheat-grow-
ing States and the response that is being
made is said to be causing considerable
concern on the part of market men and
spectators. A representative of a recog-
nized authority in the wheat trade was in
indianapolis the other day trying TO as
certain what response the call was re-
ceiving. This organization claims the
producer ought to get at least 81 a bushel
for wheat, no matter what may be the
size of the crop. 1t is claimed that the
price of any agricultural commodity can
be controlled by controlling the market
ing. The call for the movement sets forth
minimum selling price on all farm pro-
ducts, prices which the agricultural strik-
ers claim they are entitled to and can get
If they stand together. Kansas and Min
nesota are being flooded with copies of
this call. 1t is figured that if these
States hold out for the higher prices
the trick will be turned, as Minnesota
raises big per cent of the spring wheat
crop and Kansas produces a controlling
per cent of the winter wheat crops.

Colonel Henderson was stricken with
paresis last May and his condition
grew so grave that he was removed to

usual progress of such disease until

The congress also expressed itself in
favor of hearing all divorce cases in open
court and not before any delegated repre-

tend to do away with collusion and to de-

RIDERS TUBULAR BOAT.
Motor Which May Drive Steamships
1870 Miles an Hour.

Herbert E. Rider, the well-known in
vpntor, who was identified with the pre-
vailing underground trolley system, re-
Gently has perfected the model of boat
motor which he believes will eventually
drive steamships at the rate of 100 or
$50 miles an hour. This new motor con-
sists of pipe running through the vessel
lengthwise below the water line and open
at both ends. Attached to the pipe about
one-third from the after end is a cylinder
of the same diameter as the pipe and
about three times as long. The bottom
of this cylinder is attached to the main
pipe by a pipe curving toward the stern.
The cylinder, in operation, is charged with
gas vaporized from kerosene. When ex-
ploded by a sparker the force is exerted
through the pipe at the stern of the boat.

time causing a vacuum at the forward
end of the main pipe into which the wat

ventor calls a continuous water cable.
An 1S-foot model of a boat is to be ex-
hibited at the Sportsman's show. 1t has
three cylinders, two for driving and one
for reversing. The explosions can be reg
ulated as in an automobile.

Mr. Knox's railroad bill was introduced
in the Senate Thursday and was accord
ed the unusual privilege of a reading at
length. The hazing bill was passed with
out division after several amendments
had been made. Mr.. Tillman presented a
petition from the Independent Oil Re-
fners' Association of Titusville and Oil
City. Pa, asking relief from alleged dis
elimination, declaring that the railroad
freight rate on refined oil in barrels from
the oil regions to New York harbor for
export had been increased to prohibitive
point. Mr.. Clapp from the committee on
Indian affairs reported the bill for the
settlement of the affairs of the five civil
lied tribes by urging immediate action.
The bills authorizing the purchase of coal
lands in the Island of Batan, p. l., and
amending the Philippine tariff act on tex
tile fabrics and shoes were passed. Wash
ington's farewell address was read by Mr..
McCreary. The army appropriation bill
was the subject of prolonged debate in
the House, the members refusing to adj
journ in honor of George Washington.
The discussion of the bill was exhausted.
Mr. Gilbert (Ky.) made a speech oppos-
ing the ship subsidy bill, and the debate
then took wide range. The conference
report on the urgent deficiency bill was
agreed to.

Howard got some ashes out of the CRATE
