MANY AGAINST sMooT.
Only -Four Of 10 Committeeman Favor
His Retention.

New York, March s.A special de-
patch from Washington to the Times
says.
Only four Of the 10 members Of the
committee on privileges and elections
ire inclined 10 favor the retention In
the Senate 81 Reed smoot of Utah They
IRE Foraker, Be.eridge, Hopkins and Dill
lingham
The senators who are said to be either
directly opposed TO Smoot o. inclined
10 favor his expulsion from the Senate
are Burrows, the chairman; Depew,
Knox. Deliver. Pettns. Dubois, Bailey,
0yerman and Clark Of Arkansas.
1t is the present intention Of the
committee to submit its report not later
than April 15, when It's immediate con-
sidcration VIII be asked. a report of
this sort II privileged and takes prece-
dence over any other legislation, even
the appropriation bills.
The difference Of opinion in committee
among the majority members who viii
favor tile expulsion of Emoot il over the
constitutional requirements. Senator
Burrows believes that Snott's seat can
be declared vacant by a majority vote.
Senator Bailey contends that Smoot
must be expelled BY a two.thirds vote.
No effort has been made to poll the
Senate On the Smoot case, but Il il be-
lieYed the vote would be close and it
would be impossible to secure two
thirds majority against the senator.
Therefore the fight Is likely 10 be made
along the lines favored BY Mr. Bur.
rOws.
Mr.. Smoot has had very embarrass.
ing position from the very beginning Of
this Congress. He is more frequently
seen in bis seat than any other member
Of the body, but never attempts TO
address the Senate, or urge bis views up
on il. lie occasionally reports bills OF
submits amendments, but is never az.
Messive Upon the advice of his friends
some months ago, he decided 70 vote
his individual sentiments upon ali mat
tiers which were presented In the SEN

So far az is known. he has made no
attempt 70 present his case to his

CARRIERS NEED NOT STOP

After July /, according to the or
der of fourth assistant postmaster
general, unless signals are displayed
the rural mail carrier is not required
to stop to see if any mail is in the
box for him to take to the pOstOffice.
The full order follows
1. On and after July /, 1906, pat
rons of the rural delivery service
will be required to display signals
on their boxes when they leave mail
in them for carriers to collect, as,
after that date, carriers, when serv-
ing their routes, will not be required
to open and examine any mail boxes
except those to which they have mail
to deliver and those on which signals
are displayed to indicate there is mail
for carriers to collect.
2. Those patrons whose boxes are
not provided with signals must at
tach thereto some device which, when
displayed, will plainly show passing
carriers there is mail to be collected.
1t is not necessary that such device
shall be either complicated or cost
ly; very simple arrangement will
answer the purpose.
3. Carriers must lower the signals
on boxes after making collections,
provided no mail is left therein; and
must display the signals when they
deposit mail for patrons, unless the
patrons have made request to the.
contrary.
A. The carriers must be instructed
to promptly inform patrons of their
routes with regard to this order, and
you should, without expense to the
department, use such other necessary
means for informing them as will Sc
cure a complete understanding and
full compliance by all patrons on the
date mentioned.
5. Two copies of this letter are
herewith incloscd, one to be imme-
diately posted by you in prominent
place in the public part Of the post
office, and the other to be placed on
file.
Very respectfully,

is also shown in the better settled,
more highly developed agricultural
districts of the East.
According to the report of Special
Agent Saylor, it is shown that the
estimated production of sugar west
of the Mississippi in 1906 will, ex-
coed by $4,000 tons the amount Of
sugar consumed in the same area in
1900 (the latest year from which re-
liable figures are obtainable).
The estimate of production for 1906
is made by assuming that all the
beet sugar factories, including the
new ones, will run at their full ca
pacities for campaigns of 100 days,
and that the cane sugar product for
1906 will be the same as that of last
year.
1t is estimated that during the COM
ing year the states west of the Miss
issippi will produce sugar (both cane
and beet) to the amount of 1,482,000,-
900 pounds, while the amount con-
sumed in the same area in 1900 was
only 1,433,929, sos pounds, leaving an
excess OF production of 4S,150,495
pounds.

own bulk of commercial saccharine.
A sugar syrup poisoned with strych-
nine may be used with excellent re-
suits. 1t is prepared as follows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sui
plate in pint of boiling water. Add
pint of thick sugar syrup, and stir
thoroughly. The syrup is usually
scented by adding a few drops of oil
of anise, but this is not essential. II
preserved in a closed vessel, the sy-
rup will keep definitely.
'The above quantity is sufficient
to poison a half bushel of shelled
corn or other grain (corn recommend
edJ. The grain is stepped in hot
water and allowed to soak over night.
1t is then drained and soaked for sew
eral hours in the poisoned syrup Be-
fore using, corn meal may be added
to take up the excess of moisture.
DRY chrystals of strychnine also
may be used. They are introduced,
by means of knife into small
pieces of potato, carrot or sweet po-
tato, or into entire raisins or dried
prunes. A single large crystal (or
several small ones) is enough for
each bait. Raisins are especially
recommended because they are easily
handled and contain enough sugar
to disguise the bitterness of the pois-
on.

HORSE RATION

If you have corn, oats, and clover
hay, you should have no trouble in
putting flesh on horses, provided they
are not worked too hard. They
should be fed about all the grain
they want to eat, if the object is to
fatten them. Half an hour Or an
hour on the grass each evening will
do them no harm, but we would not
advise to leave them out all night
1t is likely to make their flesh
little too soft. You will find alfalmo

molasses and the balance alfalfa

small quantities. The molasses is not

SUGAR BEETs IN 1905

Special Agent Charles F. Saylor, OF
the department of agriculture, has
transmitted to congress his report on
the progress of the beet sugar indus
try in the United States during the
year of 1905. This report shows that
So beet sugar factories were in oper-
alton, five were idle, while twelve
were building for operation during
the present year Last year the fac
tories which were in operation had
a total capacity for slicing beets of
40,O50 tons daily With the factories
in process of erection, it is expected
that this year they will be able to
care for $4,000 tons of beets daily.
Colorado, well known as a beet SUI
gar state, harvested 85,916 acres Of
sugar beets, with yield of S75,174
