Senate Calls Up Foraker Resolution
After Which it Takes a Recess.
Until Monday.

Washington. D. C. = After two
weeks of vacation, the senate sat for
two and half hours Thursday and
then adjourned until Monday. The
session was devoted entirely to the
further discussion of President Roose-
velt's order disnissing the negro
troops of the Twenty-fifrh infantry
for shooting up Brownsville, Tex
as)- Senator Culberson OF that state
defended the order, bringing to its
supports many points of legal con-
struction and justifying the action by
many quotations in connection with
the affray. He closed with an impas-
stoned statement OF the position OF
the south on the negro question,
which he declared to be the most vi
tai and dangerous problem before the
American people.
Senator Foraker replied briefly, ex-
pressing his intense interest in hav-
ing speedy action on his resolution
for an investigation. Senator Ladge
proposed an amendment TO this solu-
ton which has the effect of admitting
Tic LCotOCAN dS SOlhlIioh-
der-in-chief of the army to take the
action he did and OF restricting the in
investigation to the occurrence in
Brownsville. On motion of Senator
Hale the resolution was given the
right of way Monday.
Senator Culberson in an address
on the subject said great injustice
had been done the people of Browns
vile. The conduct of the negro sol
dicrs had been very irritating. He
related that on August 4, the day be-
fore the Shooting up" of the town, a
criminal assault had been committed
Ey one OF the soldiers on the wife of
a reputable citizen and no arrests had
been made for this crime.

selves what the uniform of their coun-
try would not do-protect them from
insults and punish at the same time
the authors of their misery"
Mr.. CNberson created merrimenI
by saying:
Il have nothing to do with the
president in this matter. / care
nothing about him. My personal re-
lations with him are about as cordial
as those of the senator from Ohio
(Foraker.)
He concluded his speech of an hour
and half by brief reference to the
negro question in general saying
that it is the most important question
before the American people.

Safe. Sure and sneedx.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles Of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
Quired. They are speedy in their &C
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

TO THE PHILIPPINES
ALL NEGRO TROOPS SENT OUT
OF THE COUNTRY.
WAS JUST THEIR TURN TO GO
Statement From War Department
That 1t is Really a Nice Trip
With 20 Per Cent More Pay-one
Regiment Now There.

Washington. Jan. Z. The action
of the secretary of war today in or
dering ali the negro troops in the
regular army to the Philippines
caused much comment among politi-
cal leaders and army men.
By several it was regarded as a
punishment visited on negro troops
in general on account of the Browns
vile affair. By others it was taken
as a sign that the administration
wanted to send the negro troops so
far away that there would be no
more agitation over their alleged
conduct. What gave weight to these
observations was the fact that the
war department has not made a
practice of sending negro troops to
the Philippines in recent years.
When the trouble first started in
the islands all the negro troops were
sent over there. At that time no
suitable quarters could be found for
them and they were quartered in
churches and public buildings in the
city of Manila. They were thrown
in such close contact with the ma
tives that 1t was impossible for the
officers to maintain discipline. On
account of this dcmoraIiZed condi-
ton. the department ordered them
all back and decided not to send any
more negro troops to the islands.
That was five years ago. Eighteen
months ago the order was modified
and the Twenty-fourth infantry was
sent there, where 1t still remains.
Now the Twentv-flfth infantry and
the Ninth and Tenth cavalry are to
go. This takes in all the negro
troops.
Secretary of War Taft tonight is
sued a statement to the effect that
the Brownsville affair had no con-
nection whatever with the order to
send negroes out of the country. All
of the white regiments had had two
years service in the Philippines and
were entitled to come home. the
army now has good quarters and
it has been demonstrated in the case
of the Twenty-fourth infantry that
discipline of negro troops is now pos
sible.
The three regiments OF negroes
have been home for almost five
years and now they are to take
their turn in the foreign service. 1t
is pointed out that instead of Philip
pine service being punishment for
the negroes, it really was q good
thing for them; that they will re-
ceive 81 per cent more pay than
they get here. and that for every
year thev serve over there they get
two Years credit on their retirement

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener.
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
it is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
stances both as a relishing condiment
and well-nigh universal food pre-
sentative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt, says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing Of its exposure to all
kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States
in holds of vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
its arrival :; : again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 49,,
900, 900 bushels, the state of New York
in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
a large proportion of this important
supply.
