Swiss and Irish Goats,

1t shows what can be accomplished
by organized and we'll directed inves.
tigation that the British Goat Society
has made discovery of particular spe-
cies yielding over full gallon of milk
per diem for many months in success
sion, says the London Globe. This re-
markable animal-it is of Swiss line
lively tested by the honorary secretary
at q farm in Essex, who had previous
" diSbelieyed in such a yield from any
species at home or abroad. That con-
troversy being ended by his expert
ments, the society will, no doubt. add
to the value of it's previous efforts on
behalf of the rural laborer's children
by promoting importations of this
profitable breed.
Among its supporters there are some
men of large wealth and many acres
who have afforded repeated evidence
of their desire to give the goat a high
er position in English estimation as an
economical food producer But the
English farm hand requires a deal of
talk before he is convinced that in
many details of human life new ways
are better than old. This perversity Of
conservatism has broken down, odd to
say, in the sister isle; the Irish goat,
we'll tended and carefully bred as it
usually is, ranks far higher than the
English as a milk producer, and the So
ciety find little difficulty in securing
the cooperation Of the peasantry in
further improvements.

ANYONE MAY MAKE ALCOHOL.
Yerkes Denies Imposing Minimum Limit
of 500 Gallons.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 12.-ISpe-
ciaI. THE Telegram today prints q
1000 word report by Commissioner of
Internal Revenue YCrbes made ut the.
special request of President Roosevelt
as the result of charges made against
Yerkes' department.
The paper had charged that Yerkesf
department had been working against the
law permitting the distilling of denatured
alcohol, and further charged that the
law was worthless because it compelled
4 distiller to produce at least 500 gal
Ions a day.
In his report to the President, Mr..
Ycrkes cOntradicts both the points fatty.
He declares there is absolutely 10 limit.
that a still may produce ) gallons or
5000, that the small distiller is. placed
under no disadvantage under the law.
lie declares that he has never attempted
to head off legislation in this respect,
but that he has been supporting the
move for four years.

STATE SALOON MEN WORRY.
At Superior Court Decision as to License
Revolving Means Much.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 12.-SaIoon
keepers throughout Wisconsin are wor-
ried over a recent decision of the state
supreme court in which it was held that
keepers who have been found guilty Of
violating city ordinances and state laws,
governing the sale Of spirituous liquors
must have their licenses revoked by the
council of the city in which such viola
tons have been committed.
The decision paves the way for the
closing Of the majority of all the sa
looms in the state. This is especially
true in cities where the lid has been
put on Sundays and where arrests have
been made for lifting it. Many saloon
keepers in this city have been arrested
for violation of the city ordinances near
ly all of them pleading guilty, thereby
escaping with light fines. 1t is now up.
to the city council to revoke the licenses
of these elf-confessed law-breakers, and
the keepers are all wondering where
their redress comes in.

NO RAISE FOR SOLONS.
Salaries at Washington to Remain as
They Are-Lecturing Members
Cited in Argument.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IA
When the legislative bill was taken up
in the Senate today, Senator Gallinger
who had given notice of an amendment
increasing the salaries of senators and
members of the House, remarked that
because of the intention of some senators
to make a point of order against the
amendment, he should not present it, but
rely on separate legislation to accomplish
this purpose.
Mr.. Dubois regretted that nothing was
to be done. He was one of the senators
who lived ON his salary and knew the
difficulty of so doing. A number of sena-
tors delivered lectures, he said in order
to make the necessary addition to their
senatorial salaries.
The notice given by Senator Gallinger
is taken as an Indication that no action
to raise congressional salaries will be
successful at the present session.
The Senate committees amendment
striking out the provision increasing sa-
laries of vice president, speaker of the
House and cabinet members was agreed
to.

present.

FOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
State Legislator Has Bill to Revolu-
tiOnize Milwaukee.

MADISON, Wis, JAN 12.-Govern-
ment by commission, after the plan now
in operation in Galveston and other
Texas cities, is to be proposed for Mil
waukee in a bill soon to be introduced
in the Legislature by one Of the upstate
members.
1t is considered probable that the bill
will be made broad enough so that cities
of the second and third classes will be
included. The measure is not to be
introduced by any Milwaukee member
but one of the upstate members.
The Galveston or Texas plan entirely
dispenses with the common council or
board of aldermen, and places the entire
government of the city in the hands of
five men, mayor or general manager,
and four managers of particular depart
mentS.

FRENCH CLERGY TO
WAGE BIG BATTLE.
Decides to Stand by Papal Encyclical and
Will Take Up Resources
of Church

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Having decided in
advance to adhere to the recent papal
encyclical, the work of the French Epis-
copate, which meets tomorrow, will be
largely confined to discussing practical
matters involved in the condemnation of
the amended separation law and the ben
eft which can be obtained from the pub
lie meetings law Of 1901.
Financial Question First
The question of the church's resources
Will be uppermost, and the cardinals and
some of the bishops, who We're again i'll
session today, have virtually resolved TO
recommend the establishment of Il cen
trail fund in all dioceses:
1t is doubtful, however, whether the
legal plenary assembly will approve the
reorganization of the Summaries as SUI
periOr theological schools i'll accordance
with the law of 1870, under which
number of them already have been re-
opened.
Claims Too Much Politics.
The Petit Republique, while it does
not publish the text of the documents,
asserts today that Mgr. Montagnini's
papers prove that the papal nunclature
was constantly dabbling in politics, had
regular relations with the opposition
deputies and senators and members OF
the leSlllullSl anu DOndpuIllSI pau liSS,
and was in correspondence with Emile
Olivier, the eX-minister of Napoleon Ill.
The paper also says that it has proof
that through the Portuguese government,
France learned that the Vatican's circu-
lar previous to the visit of eX-president
Loubet to Italy was not identical in its
wording in the case of all the powers.
People Demand Priests Release.

The Capuchins of Rome have discovered
an old print of 1892 representing the
massacre of nine French priests by the

Henri Claude Clemenceau, vicar general
