The Weeks sensation In washington.

An imbroglio IN which the President,
Senators Tillman, Bailey and Lodge. ex-
Senator Chandler and Attorney General
Moody are concerned has occupied main
attention OF Washington to the exclusion
of legislation since last Saturday. Charges
and counter charges have been made and
the lie given direct. Senator Tillman
started the trouble on Saturday in an
attack on the floor OF the Senate in which
he charged the President with deserving
the Democratic senators whose assistance
he sought and secured in his efforts to
have the Hepburn railroad rate bill pass
ed unamended.
Mr. Tillman said that 20 Democratic
senators promised their support of the
bill, but that the President without con-
sulting Senator Chandler or Attorney
General Moody, who acted as interme-
diaries, deserted his new allies. Tillman
said the President had spoken disparag-
ingly of Senators Foraker, Spooner and
Knox to the effect that they were obstruc-
tionists.
Later in the day Senator Lodge, after
consultation with the President, denied
the charges concerning Foraker, Spooner
Ter of New Hampshire, now president Of
the Spanish claims commission, with
deliberate and unqualified falsehood in
quoting the President.
A statement was issued from the White
House Monday on the part of the Pres
ident and Mr.. Moody. outlining the part
taken by Senator Chandler in the ne
gotiations and claiming that he came from
Tillman to the President and was not
sent from the White House to the South
Carolina senator. The Presidents state
ment declared that neither TO Mr.. Chand-
led nor to anyone else did he insist upon
any particular amendment to the rate
bill. Mr.. Moody told of the conferences
with Senators Tillman and Bailey and
their tentative agreement upon an amend
ment to the rate bill. He said he had
advised Mr.. Roosevelt not to commit him
self to any amendment.
Mr.. Tillman replied further to the ef-
feet that he had not asked Mr. Chandler
to open negotiations and this denial was
repeated by Mr.. Chandler. He reiterated
his charges of bad faith on the Presi-
| dents part, and said the explanation OF
how Chandler came to the White House
was absurd on its face" Senator ALI
son had the Presidents letter placed upon
record.
Senator Bailey kept up the tension We'd
nesday. The Chicago Tribune and the
| New York Tribune both strong admin
istration papers, said the Presidents de-
sertion of the Democrats was due to the
| fact that he had received a letter from
Chandler warning him that Bailey was
| playing false
Mr.. Bailey, rising to a question of per-
sonal privilege, declared the publication
to be an unqualified, deliberate and NAL
icious lie," and he went so far as to more
than intimate that the publication wai
inspired from the White House, and thai
the man who inspired 1t was an "unqual
flied, a deliberate and malicious liar
He stopped short of saying whether the
epithets were directed toward the Presi
dent or Secretary Loeb, but ne said tina
If it was not inspired by the President
the latter, as an honest man, must in
stantly remove from office "the miser
able wretch" who did inspire 1t.

II. d. Ryder OF Bellows Falls, who will
be a candidate for senator in the Repub-
lican county convention, is well qualified
through education and experience for a
legislators work. He graduated from
Dartmouth college in 1876 and previous
to his admission to the bar was princi-
pal of the Bellows Falls high school sew
eral years. He stands high in the legal
profession and is states attorney OF
Windham county at the present time.
He has been closely in touch with educa-
tional matters for years as county ex-
aminer of teachers and in other capac-
tiles, and would bring to the Office of
senator a knowledge and judgment of leg
islation affecting educational interests
which is possessed by few men.

The New England Farmer brings news
Of the formation in Maine of syndicates
of farmers who have bought Percheron
stations. This simple statement coniures
up a leaf from the gold brick book to
people with memories running back IL
to Is years. In that period Percheron
stations were disposed OF to syndlcates
all the way from southern Connecticut TO
towns in central Vermont. Imported
animals worth about $3.50 each were then
palmed off on the unsuspecting syndicates
at prices ranging from $4,000 10 s2sOO
each. and a feature of the sale was the
signing OF a joint and several note
which the signers did not fully understand
when they were pulled inIo the game.

can, Epua

The clans eggs are carried by the
mother on her Eills. When there are
fish in the wuter with them the mother
CLAIMS discharge the eggs which soon
hatch, but If there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay The
reason of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free In the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves.
They live for ii time on the mucus OF
the fish and then drop of, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for theIn-
selves. This curious semiparasItic life
Is no doubt n rgversion to the habit of
some ancient ancestor.
