with:
It has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concern
ing alleged mad dogs and the terrible
results to human beings bitten by them
are published from time to time. Such
accounts brighten people Into various
nervous disorders and cause brutal
treatment of animals suspected or mad
ness; and yet there is upon record
great mass Of testimony from physi-
clans asserting the extreme rarity Of
hydropbobia even In the dog, while

Consul John H. Snodgrass Of Pre-

Of the British-African colony Of Rho
desia:
1.-THE expansion of the gold industry
In Rhodesla to the annual production
of 10000, GOO of the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and
individual effort rather than by means
Of capital. Small reefs have been dis
covered In this territory. and many are
confidently predicting that Khodesia In
few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production Of the
precious metals Small operators with
little capital by their own efforts have
Of late been extracting nearly one
third Of the total amount Of gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly in the colony. as a con.
sequence Of which there has been q re-
vival Of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
Ing to find their way into the distant
markets, local demands for grain.
fruits and fresh meats are being met
more and more by the Rhodesian agri-
culturists then: selves.
"Rhodesia's output Of other minerals
than gold has increased and several
new industries have come into life dur
ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
the Cape to Cairo railroad have proved
that what could be done In South
Africa could also be done farther
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
bridging Of which was an engineering
feat second only, to that accomplished
at the Victoria falls. afterward proved
to be a useful waterway. for 1t extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail

IT'S NEW
CONGRESS
PHILIPPINES INAUGU-
RATE HOME RULE.
SECRETARY TAFT TO OPEN CON.
GREss-HIs OPINION
SOUGHT.

Manila, Oct. 14.-Great interest is
shown in the first Philippine congress,
which will take place this week, and
the arrival Of Secretary Taft, which
comes at an opportune time in Ii.
auguration OF the Philippine home
rule. Already the contending political
factions are showing great activity
and at the caucus recently held the
first brush occurred over a motion to
have the assembly proceedings open
ed with prayer. This was defeated by
one vote, on the broad ground that
church and state should be kept dis
tinct.
The caucus was attended by 80 dele
gates. The position of the assembly
on questions relating to the political
future of the Philippines Is expected
to be determined largely by the opin-
ion expressed by Secretary Taft in his
address opening the session. This is
the view held by Filipinos as well as
Americans. The latter are generally
in favor Of specific announcement
on Philippine policy. The course Of
legislative action will depend mainly
on the result of the fight Of the Gomez
radicals for the continuance Of the ma
tional party.
The nationalists, when united, exer-
else controlling influence, but their in
ternal divisions give the progressive
Independents the balance of power.
1t is not likely that party spirit will
play much part in the assembly's af-
fairs, owing to personal difference
within the parties.
Guerrero, one of the native leaders
in Manila, backs Gomez in his promise
to secure the repeal of the drastic
flag sedition" laws. II this repeal is
carried throughout other radical meas
ures probably will follow. The con-
sentative element declares against any
extreme legislation and the better
class Of politicians favor an ultra con-
sentative course.
The indications are the Manuel
Quescon will be the candidate for
speaker. He is believed to be favor
ably regarded at Washington and his
election gives assurance that no reso-
luton for the independence Of the
Philippines will be considered.

feet long, with capacity of 74OO tons
1t is believed that the machinery was
broken, as the northwest storm was
not severe enough to wreck such a
strong ship.
The Indications are that the founder
ing was due to a leak. The steamer
George Stevenson reported that she
had passed the Cypress. A red streak
was distinguishable in the water be-
hind her, indicating that her plates
had been sprung and that the iron ore
with which the ship was loaded was
