Thinks Federation Guilty.

Boise, Oct. 9.--In the opinion OF
Harry Orchard the Western Federation
OF Miners is responsible for the death
OF ex-sheriff Harvey Brown at Baker
City. He says he believes the murder
was committed to revenge work done by
Brown. When first informed OF the
Baker City tragedy Orchard predicted
that very shortly the papers would be
printing interviews with those connect
ed with the Federation, in which it
would be claimed that Brown was a
friend of the Federation, and not an
enemy, as claimed.

 The contest last night was in the marchings, facings and manual of arms. Three commissioned officers of the c. N. c. not members of Troop A, were the judges. Each individual trooper who was noticed to make any mistake dropped out of rank until finally only two of the on-commission- ed officers. remained, Sergant Corgill and Sergeant Frank E. Wolfe.
 These TWO men were put rapidly through many orders until finally by q slight mistake by Sergeant Wolfe, Sergeant Cargill won the contest. He will keep the medal one year and then another contest will be held. A large crowd watched the drill last night.

 "No; national dishes" answered the traveller. "rhe hot tamale of the Mex ican, the goulash of the Hungarian, the chop suey of the Chink, are all known to me and many others.
 "The best of them all Is chop suey. The hot tamale is too hot and has very little nourishment to it, and goulash Is too heavy. It tastes pretty good, but it is not food to recommend to a man with a weak stomach. Chop suey, how ever, is appetlzing, easily digested and very nourishing. It is the great contrl- button of the orient to the occident in my opinion. It is made of rice, sprout. ed beans, celery and chickens blood all mixed together in the form of soup and nicely seasoned."

 The amendments of Senator Judson were accepted and discussion then arose on the tabling of the bill for printing. Senator Brown wished to have the matter come up Wednesday, but Senators Donovan and McNeil oD- jected, saying that 1t looked like an attempt to railroad through one of the most important measures this session The senators wanted time to study the bill and the people of Bridgeport want ed to know more about it. The mat ter, 1t was decided, should be called up next Monday.
 Senator Spellacy had the bill relat- ing to the stopping of railroad trains on the petition of citizens taken from the table, to-day, so that he could offer an amendment. This bill was passed and then reeonsidered last week.

VALUATION WORK BEGINS OF ROAD PROPERTIES. John F. Stevens To Go Over Entire Holdings of New

It is stated semi-officially that what Is known technically as a clearance car," with a living car attached car rying experts of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad compa- ny, Is to start immediately to make an extended tour over the railroad lines of the system. It Is understood that the object of the trip is to make an accurate measurement of the railroad lines of the corporation, and also of it's bridges and possibly other struc- lures.
 While the point cannot be confirmed, it is probable that the trip is in pur- suance to the policy, announced some time ago by President Mellen, of mak- ing comprehensive valuation of the properties of the corporation, the pro ject for which, 1t is understood, John F, Stevens, formerly engineer of the Panama canal, entered the employment of the New Haven railroad corpora ton.

rhs AxiaI Rotation of vsnus,

For over two centuries it was gener- ally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on it's axis in a little less than twenty-four hours, but since Schlaparelii after long and care ful observation of the planet suggest ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron- omers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory Mir. Denning sums up the available evil dence on the point and can only con clude that this particular problem still defies solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planets avial rotation be, as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of It's revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemi- sphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night

The fields as we'll as the broad roads of Ecuador are inclosed by adobe walls surmounted by the broad leaved Amer ican aloe. The aloe, sometimes called the century plant, is one of the most useful and important plants in the country. The Indians th6tch their huts with its leaves. The eaves when tap ped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by, the common people. The tall flower stalks are used for beans and ladders. The flowers, boiled and soaked in vine gar, make an agreeable pickle.-Nation- al Geographic Magazine.
