Procoedinfs.
Wednesday.

Washington, March l. - For three
hours lacking a few minutes yester-
day Mr.. Foraker held the attention of
the senate while he read carefully
prepared speech on the railroad rate
question. His speech was a protest
against any general legislation on the
theory that the existing Elkins law
could be so extended as to make it
answer all the requirements. He did
not fail, however, to point out what he
considered the defects of the Hep
burn-Dolliver bill, and he made the
declaration more than once that it
would fail to remedy the evils com.
planned of.
Mr.. Foraker's speech was followed
by further discussion of the railroad
land grant in Indian Territory with
the result that Mr.. Aldrich's resolu-
ton extending the tribal government
of the Indians was carried after it was
so modified as to carry that govern
ment over until March 4, 1907.
The details of the provisions of the
army appropriation bill occupied the
house Of representatives throughout
the day. Several pages of the meas
ure yet remain to be considered
Friday.
Washington, March 1.-The senate
yesterday passed the bill providing
for the settlement of the affairs of the
Five Civilized Tribes. Under the guise
, of considering the bill, the senate
spent practically the entire day in the
discussion of the railway question.
was raised by Mr.. La Follette's pro.

prohibiting railway companies and

coal lands in Indian Territory, and
! when the question was once before
the senate it held it's place persistent
ly until almost the close of the days
session. Notwithstanding MIR. La Fol
lette has sat in the senate less than
two months he led the debate and oc
supied more time than any other sen.
: ator Several other senator's, while ex
pressing themselves in sympathy with
constitutional objections to the pro
vision.
Late in the day the La Toilette
amendment, together with all the In

| section, were laid on the table. The
: Indian bill has passed both the house
/ and the senate, but as the senate has
amended it in many respects it will
now go to conference. 1t is general

War is help"
Beginning on the 10th Of August,
1880, there was held a three days Re-
union of soldiers Mt Columbus, Ohio. A
camp had been established IN an ex-
tensive wood near the city. Within the
camp a speaking platform had been
erected. and on the second day of the
Reunion, Aug. II, Gen. Sherman and
little Lieut.. Johnny Clem visited the
camp and spoke to the soldiers from
the platform. When Gen. Sherman
arose to speak he was greeted with
rounds of applause, and when quiet
was restored the first words that fell
from his lips were, "War is hell"
Among others who spoke from the
platform on that day was Gen. w. H.

POSON-IyY.

This is the season when persons suf-
fer from the common poison-ivy or
poison-oak (Rhus toxicodendron). If
people will only stop to think they can
easily distinguish the poison-ivy from
the harmless Virginia creeper or Amer
lean ivy. The poison-ivy has only three
leaflets, while the Virginia creeper has
five; that is, If the vine has as many
leaflets as the person has fingers 1t is
harmless. Some people suffer the most
acute agony from this poisoning, and
the general belief among physicians is
that the best remedy is a solution OF So
parts of alcohol and Al of water. in
which has been dissolved all the acetate
of lead that the solution will take up.
Some physicians advocate legal inspec-
tions of the ground infested by the
poisonous plant and It's compulsory re-

THE COTTON TREE.

- The sensationalists in agricultural
matters are now expending their ener-
ssies upon a new humbug, the discovery
of cotton tree by ]. R. Spence, OF
EDeesee, India, which, according to them,
is going to revolutionize the whole cot
t6n-growing business and throw the
american producers out of occupation.
This is an old-time fraud. Every casual
student OF botany knows that the cotton
plant Is herbaceous. and in tropical
countries grows to the size of a small
tree 1t has there life of about 10
years, where in semi-tropical countries
this period is reduced to three, and in
this country it becomes an annual. The
cotton tree has always been known and
likewise its limitations. The Agricul-
tural Department has for many years
been trying to hybrydize the cotton trees
of India and other tropical countries
with the cotton plants of our own, so as
to produce a more valuable plant, say,
a biennial, but its experiments have all
been unsuccessful The best cotton in
the world is produced in the United
States aud produced most successfully
by our methods, as is proved by the
fact that the United States grows 70
per cent of the worlds cotton. in spite
of the most enormous efforts to produce
cotton in other parts of the world in
competition. 1t looks as II Mr.. Spence
was merely stalking horse for some
syndicate to palm off a lot of cotton
trees upon the planters Of the South.
It has no value whatever in most of the
cotton-growing countries, though 1t has
been somewhat successful in certain
specially-favored localities.

The fatal disaster at Salisbury, Eng

made 1t possible for the English engi-

lengths of cars, so that they could build
the cars very much lighter than in this
country, where the long distances trav-

compelled the construction of exceed
ingly substantial cars that would stand
all the vicIssitudes of hauling for hun
