Efforts Made to Remedy Conditions at
Packinghouses.
Chicago, June 6.-The Tribune says:
One of the immediate effects of the
presidents disclosure Of packinghouse
conditions was seen in an attempt in
at least three of the big plants to rem
edy the conditions condemned in. the
report. Toilet arrangements were
renovated, floors cleaned, walls scraped
and light and ventilation improved.
The surroundings of the workers in
these three plants were improved 80
per cent in one day.
The general manager of one big
plant, spent the morning in a down
town plumbing establishment picking
out the latest sanitary plumbing.
Besides renovating the plumbing
the packing companies put up vari-
ETY. of signs all over the plants enjoin,
ing cleanliness. The foremen were
told that the rule against expectora-
ton must be enforced or discharge
would result.
Another new rule posted conspicu-
ously was that forbidding the use of
tobacco in all food producing rooms

st. Petersburg, June 6.-M. Ohipko,
q peasant of stevrapol, created some
excitement at the opening of the lower
house of parliament by protesting
against allowing the ministers to speak
from the rostrum. He said
We have already expressed our dis.

the house in listening to them. .
President Mouromtseff called M.

ministers under the law had the right
to speak from the rostrum. The pres
ident added, however, that hereafter
assistant ministers like M. Gurko
would not be permitted to do SO unless
they came by special authorization
and as the representatives of their

the proposal for the appointment of a

COTTON AND CORN.

Every year as the seasons roll
around our people plant, cultivate and
gather their crops of cotton and corn.
Those engaged in this business have
little thought of the important part
they play in the worlds commerce or
in the clothing and feeding of millions
of the worlds people. The Southern
Farmer, speaking of these two import
ant crops, says:
Have YOU ever thoughe what the
United States would be without lhdlan
corn and cotton? lave you ever
thought Via an utter failure OF the
corn crop would mean to the Amerl-
can nation? No business calamity
could befall us that would have sucn
a f~ar-reaching, disastrous n destruc-
tive effect as the failure of the Indlan-
corr crop, and without cotton three
fourths of the world that now use
clothing would go naked. Yet the Gull
tivation of Indian corn and cotton on
such a stiupendous scale in the United
States alone as to outdistance all the
balance of the world goes onward day
by day. and is not even CONSIDERED a
| matter worthy Of special notice by a
| majority Of our citizens. Yet IN these
two crops alone is concealed the germ
of American prosperity and industrial
activity at home and abroad. Ihus
the handspring of American prosperity
| as affecting all classes and conditions
of he population is dependent upon
| the cultivation of the fields and farms
/ of the United States, and as an exam
| pie of dazzling national achievement
! the American nation surpasses an!
| nation in the history of the world, ano
vet the national progress and the ma
tons future is founded upon the
! wealth drawn from the soil by the
sweat of the brow and the labor Of
the hands of the American farmer
Thus agriculture means everything u
ne and offers everything to us.

RACK FROM A CRUISE
Mr.. T. G. Pearson Had Exciting Time
Off the Coast of Florida.

Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary or
the Audubon Society, returned yester-
day morning from a cruise on the Flor
ida coast. He is somewhat disabled
from an experience on board a
er about fifty miles from Key West.
The vessel struck a storm and was
soon disabled and for two days and two
nights she could make but little head
way. Last Friday morning when the
vessel was putting in at Key West
another storm was countere r1ght
in the harbor and being already out OF
keller was at the mercy OF the ele-
ments. She was pounded and knocked
and Sent flying about during which
time Mr.. Pearson was thrown across
the deck, fr%acturing a rib, dislocatlng
his left shoulder, bruising his right
knee and otherwise injuring him. He
was unable to walk for a day or two
after the accident. AS soon as ne was
able he left for home and Will be ooIg-
ed to remain here for some time. MI.
Pearson left here about a month ago
to explore the Florida coast betWeen
Tampa and Key West. He visited the
Ten Thousand Islands and numbers OF
| other places. He found twenty col
onies of sea birds in localities where
| thew are Systematically rated for their
plumage, which is a violation OF the
Florida law and the statutes OF the
United States. His purpose was 10 10
cate these places and make a recon-
mendation to the department at WASH
ington which will set apart a NUMBER
of them as perpetual breeding places
where they will be protected.
Mr.. Pearson had TO work quietly LOT
fear of bodily harm as the inhabitants
are intensely hostile to the AUDUBON
Society and to any infringement OF
what they have considered their specla'
rights.
The trip to Key West was made 1or
the purpose of buying a home Tor the
widow of Game Warden Guy Bradle
who was murdered. while in the per
formance Of his duties in the section
sometime ago, leaving a wife and t"c
small children. Mr.. Pearson purcnas'
ed a nice six-room cottage IN ne!
West for which he paid $4,000, whicf
sum was raised by the various Audu'
hon Societies of the country. Inc
home is decided to the Audubon Socle'

by any chance he should become pres

God forbij-he would be far dan
gerous and more of a tyrant than the

be regarded IS a great man in WASH
