 l. Railroads: highway crossings; bridges: defect; inability In an ac- ton for injuries caused to a horse by a defect in the bridge across the pub lie road where the same approaches and crosses railroad right of way and track, the failure to prove that the railroad had constructed the bridge did not defeat plaintiffs right of recovery, as it is the railroads du- ty to keep ss4ch bridges in repair.

 5. Appeal: discretion of trial court; review Whether the court will put party upon admission of showing for an absent witness Is discretionary with the court, and it's action thereon cannot be reviewed on appeal.
 {. Evidence; opinion evidence; ex- pert; competency "A witness is not competent to testify as to whether or not an injury to horse could have caused it's death, or, what in his opin- ion, was the cause of its death, where such witness is shown to have had considerable experience with horses, to have lived on farm when ooy' and whose father was horse trader.

NEW SCHOOL MAMIE.

Leavenworth Kan, August lion the opening tomorrow of the new term of the Infantry and Ca.s.iry school at Fort Leavenworth the name will be changed to Army School of the Line" This school Is the principal one of the three military service schools estab- lished at Fort Leavenworth. The other two schools. the Army Staff College aud the Signal school. sprung from 1t.
 This will be the third change in name since the school was started. twenty six years ago. When the school was organized in May. 1881, 1t was designated The School or Application for Infantry and Cavalry" It waA changed shortly afterward to Infantry and Cavalry school" There are sew eral reasons for the new change in name. and one Is that student offi- cers from all branches Of the service. instead of only Infantry ana cavalry, attend 1t now.
 The importance of the military ser- vice schools here is tncreasing each year. The rank of the student officers Is higher than formerly. Before the Spanish American war only lieuten-
 ,ff mostly second heutenants. were the students. On reopening, after the. Spanish-American war, captains were detailed to attend the school. and now majors are included for students.

ZIONISTS AT HAGUE.
SEVERAL HUNDRED DELEGATES
 AT THE CONGRESS.
Members Of Hebrew Faith Gather tO further Propaganda for ReatOr- ati0n or JersSfaIem to Abra-
 hams Sons.

The Hague, Aug. 14.-The Zionist Congress assembled here today. Sew eral hundred delegates were present at the formal opening and many more are expected. The American organization Is well represented.
 The meeting which began today is tbe tenth congress of fits klnda The gatherings have always attracted lead ing men of the Hebrew faith, and its somewhat sentimental and romantic propaganda--the restoration of Jeru- salem to the sons of Abraham--but really at bottom. a stern business and phiIanthropic proposition, has attracted worldwide speculation as to the ulti- mate fate of the scheme.
 "Zionisn," as the movement is call- ed by which, its promoters declare, the Jewish problem Is to he solved--that Is, the future of the oppressed Jew of Russia and elsewhere is to be provided for--is not without opposition on the part of some prominent men of the Jewish clergy and laity.
 It is pointed out as true that al- though the leaders of the movement have been laboring assiduously for many years to rehabilitate the Hebrews again into a nation. and there have been a number of congresses to this end, until now nothing really definite has been accomplished.
 It Is said that, in view of the devel- opments through the present congress. those who have hitherto cast doubt up- on the scheme will rally to the stand ard of the leaders, creating a solidar- ity so powerful in numbers and wealth that success will be assured.
 The congress is to consider a pro- posal for the acquisition of tract of land in Palestine larger than any here tofore considered for the purposes of Jewish colonization. The land is not far distant from Haifas which prom lses in future to suppiant Jaffa as the port of landing in Palestine. This proximity constitutes one of the prin- cipal grounds for hoping for the suc- cessful exploitation of the property. The land will. it Is believed, cost, Io- Eether with the incidental expenses, some $500, 900. and the idea is to form a syndicate for the purpose of raising the money.
 It has been stated that one of the reasons for selecting The Hague as the meeting place this year was the desire of the Zionist leaders to bring their project to the attention of the i'm ternationaI peace congress now in ses- sion here So far as can be learned, however. there is nothing to substan- tiate this assertion and 1t is regarded as extremely improbable that the peace congress would give the matter any official attention.
