SOME LABOR LAWS
ARE DEMANDED
Many Conferences Held at White
House Will Probably Result In
Action by PreSident--COn-
gress May Not Adjourn
Until June or Later.

Washin gton, March 20.-Confer-
ences between the president and
members of the Senate and House
steering committees; conferences be-
tween the president and leaders of
organized labor; conferences between
the president and leading political
economists; conferences between Re-
publican Senate and House leaders all
held within two days. and more con-
ferences in progress now leave the
legislative program for the present
Congress in a very complicated situa-
ton. II has been agreed that there
shall be an employers liability act
enacted: that there shall be currency
legislation and that the House COM
mittee on ways and means shall make
Investigations and pave the way for
the preparation of an act revising
the tariff to be submitted at an extra
session in 1903
So far there has been no friction,
but the conferences in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt aud the president of
the American Federation of Labor,
Mr.. Gompers. were the principal par
ties, related to a subject which may
tie up Congress In a deadlock and
row. 1t was asserted positively yes
terday that the president would send
a special message to Congress. Even
the kind of message the president
was to write was outlined.
The whole controversy hinges on
what can be done with reference to
the Sherman antitrust law. The la
Dor leaders are demanding that ii be
amended so that labor can be per-
mitted to organize without violation
of its provisions. The president
wants labor to receive this recog-
milton but other issues are creeping
in, especially ISSUES connected with
the rights of labor to resort to the
boycott The moment that subject is
touched upon there is trouble.
4 Message Partly Written.
The White House is the halfway
meeting place between the extremes
of labor's demands and capitals
concessions. II can be authoritative
ly stated that the president has in
part prepared a message. Just when
he will send it or whether he will
send it to Congress at all In its pres
ent shape Is not certain. The presi-
dent wants some practical results
from Congress and a working agree
ment with the congressional leaders
on the Republican side Is imperative
He might whip Congress into line
with ringing messages if there was
unlimited time, but Congress must
adjourn before the nominating con-
NeutionS
No message viii be set To Congress
until the president has some under
standing as 20 what can be done. Thi,
agreement may be reached this
week But the date on which Con.
gress should adjourn, So confidently
placed at May / "a few weeks ago, T.
a mere matter Of speculation. 1t /!
admitted that June ! is now q bet

Washington, March 2O.-By direc-
tion of the president. Secretary Root
will this afternoon accept the invita-
ton of the japanese government to
have the Atlantic battleship fleet
visit that country on its return voy-
age. This decision was reached at a
meeting of the cabinet this afternoon.
1t is believed that Yokohama will
be the port visited and il is expected
that China will also extend an invi-
tation. in which case the fleet will
visit Shanghai.

VIII Probably Accept.

Should 1t be impossible TO include
any Japanese port in the itinerary of
the fleet after it leaves San Francisco
the matter might be taken as a slight
by the japanese government, further
ing the feeling between the two ma
tions.
BY the majority it is regarded,
however, as an indication that Japan
entertains no resentment against the
United States on account of the ex-
clusion agreement and that the invl-
tation will be accepted in the spirit
in which 1t is extended, while the
fleet will visit at least one Japanese
port If satisfactory arrangements for
Iso doing can be made.

MODERN HINDU WOMEN.

Within five short years great change has come over section Of the native population of Lahore. Children of native gentlemen can be seen be- ing taken out for an airing by ayahs morning and evening, Certain bold me have begun to take out their wives in the evening for a drive in open ve- hicles
 A week ago we saw the daughter of a man of position walking with her father on the railway platform at La- bore. She was dressed in what seem- ed like an English gown, had English shoes on, and when her husband came up left her father and walked with him. Her face was quite uncovered. Let those who have relatives in Lahore go there and see for themselves the state of things. They will see wives going out shoulder to shoulder with their husbands in the evenings. having said good-by to old restrictions.

RAILROADS ACROSS THE ANDES.

The prophets predict that ere many years have passed there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them transcontinental, the oth- CTS connecting with steamers on the Amazon or it's tributaries.
 The lire which now runs from Val paraiso to Juncal is to be extended through long tunnel which in five or ten years will be finished, and it will connect with an Argentine road at Mendoza.

EARL OF MINyO's NECK BROKEN

Very few people know that the Earl of Minto, Viceroy of India, is the only man who ever survived broken neck. In his younger days the earl was one Of the most daring and ardent of sportsmen. and he scarcely had riv- al in riding, rowing, shooting and fish ing. His lordship's great passion. however, was for horse riding. and in Is related how he took his degree in riding costume covered by an acad- emic gown. Immediately after the ceremony he leaped into the saddle and galloped off to the racecourse, ar irving just in time to win the Varsity Steeplechase. In 1876 the earl rode Zero in the race for the Grand Ma tional, and it was then that he near ly met his death. Zero fell at one of the fences, and every one thought that the rider had been instantly kill ed with a broken neck. Sir James Paget was summoned and even to the doctors astonishment his lordship re- covered, the famous physician declar- ing that in the whole of his experi- ence 1t was the only Ii ance he knew of the vertebra going 6ack into its place after being stretched.-Tit Bits.

could do was to put the needle in cul- ture media, and if something happen ed after a few days he had caught him; if nothing happened he had missed him. If he had caught him he allowed his captive to raise fam fly and then tried them. Perhaps then the scientist would be sorry that he had caught him. But finally Han sen succeeded in isolating the yeast he was searching for, and the result was pedigree yeast which is worth mill lions to brewers because they can de- pend on the effect of this single yeast when it is added to the brew.
 Tn America we also catch our true yeast now by the same method. One year I caught twelve different gentle men after nine months work, and ev- cry one of the twelve was worthless Either they made a poor flavor or bad color in the beer, or else they were weak and would die under ordinary conditions. A whole years work gone for nothing! Then captured six more and out of these six three were aris- tocrats To-day I have, billions of descendants of these pioneers, but my three first families of the brewery, you may be sure. live in most secluded quarters in my laboratory. One min ute's exposure to the ordinary air and all my work might be undone. They live in degree of sterilization unsur- passed in any hospital. For if you are hunting for yeast the air of your room. and especially the air in the glass case, must be as sterile as it can be made.
 And if any one thinks of brewing as being somehow done in dirty fash ion let him just remember that tiny bit of dirt a few errsnt germs, may in an hour undo the work of years of patient toll. and at the same time ruin thousands of barrels of beer. The precautions for sterilizing milk are as nothing to the care with which the American brewer-selhshly perhaps guards his family of yeast aristocrats. Everything is sterilized. every process of heat and refrigeration known to sanitation is employed. Vats. pipes, valves, barrels, bottles are kept scru- pulously clean with live steam and boiling water and soda. Even the wa ter used in manufacture is filtered and then sterilized. The barrels them selves are lined with rosln at a tenn. perature of 45O degrees Fahrenheit The bottles are sterilized, the beer is sterilized, and finally the bottled pro- duct is sterilized. Even the air in the brewery cellars is sterilized and the walls are kept clean with an antisep- tic solution. There is no special praise due the brewer for this. He has to do 1t. Otherwise his pet yeast germs might continue their activity when he did not want them to, or the other little gentlemen of the air might get in some of their fine work, which would ruin the product. For even a slight change in shade of beer-even though it does not affect its potabili- ty-would instantly ruin it's sale."--- New Yorw Tribune.

INDIAN AND MONOGRAPH.

Most of the Apaches now use the dress of the whites, with fantastic ln- dividual variations; but they have not become house builders to any extent. The little round topped novels of bent poles, covered with bear grass, old canvas or tin cans cut open, are still the usual home, and there is little at- tempt at furniture or house keeping.
 Of all the white mans medicine (after whiskey and tobacco) the h. dians have taken most kindly to can ned goods, The idea of dinner in tin can meets his fullest approval, and ev- cry camp and wick-i-up has its "kitch- en-middep" of empty and rusting tins The trader in a remote little store on the White Mountain reservation had long catered to this taste with toma- toes in gaudy cans and the cheap pears and peaches which are a prime lux ury, when it occurred to him to break the montony of long days alone with an Edison photograph.
 The machine came in due time and was started going: the whirr and burr of "Dollie Gray" in an unmusical tenor disturbed the desert atmosphere. A group of young bucks riding in for a little monte, with canned pears "on the loser" heard the outburst and circled round and round the store at a safe distance trying to figur. out the cause When after brief silence the joyous notes of MT.

LAKE CHANGES COLOR.

A small lake at Seaside, Monterey county, Cal. changes its color four times every year. To all appearances this lake is just like any other small lake, and there seems to be no reason why 1t should be such remarkable sheet of water. It Is prettily situated full of fish and water fowl. and when in It's normal condition the water is clear and sweet It has one peculi- arity besides its variable color, how ever. The water Is never stagnant, de- spite the fact that there is no appar- ent outlet to the lake
 The color changes are very pro- nounced, and are in four distinct shades--yellow, green, red and dark gray that has the appearance of black at times. Between each change the

GRIP AND HOW TO DODGE IT.
Some Suggestions as to How Evil Elf. fleets om Malady May Be Averted.

Thousands of persons in Washing ton are afflicted with grip, in mild form as a rule. and possibly millions in the eastern part of the United States are. passing through the period of de- pression that accompanies this ail- ment. In spite of the energetic re- searches of medical men, little real in- formation has been gained as to the nature of grip since it became fash ionable decade ago. It is supposed to be germ disease-that is, an ailment caused by the extraordinary multipli- cation of noxious microbes in the sys- tenn. But if this supposition is correct, scientists are late in isolating the germ that is responsible for the trou- ble, and still more dilatory in discov- ering an anti-toxin that will destroy the pest
 Experience has demonstrated that the evil effects of the grip may be warded off in great measure, if not entirely escaped, by proper living | Moderation in all things-that sim pie rule of life expounded in the morning of the world, and as vital now as then-is the advice of doctors The diet should be simple and nour- | ishing without excessive eating or drinking. Excitement late hours and overwork are active assistants of the grip germ. While grip often accom-. panies or follows a cold, 1t may over. come a person who has no symptoms of cold, and who has not exposed i himself to the weather in any way Nevertheless, medical men advise their patients to dress snugly in uncertain weather and to avoid exposure Toe many persons, however. go to the oth CT extreme and deny themselves the benefit of pure, fresh air, which is their best ally in maintaining good physical condition. For elderly per. sons moderate exercise, or none at all is better than much walking, So l"ne as fresh air is not avoided. Doctors advise their clients to avoid closely packed crowds in poorly ventilated buildings.
 The epidemic of grip this year diff. fers from previous visitations in poing severe in the case of children and mild with adults The run of the ailment is from two days to two weeks with adults and considerably longer with children, in cases attended by physi. clans. In cases where grip victims try to doctor themselves the temperature may continue high for an indefinite time, with accompanying wear upon the system. Grip may be broken up ii | promptly handled by a competent phy. siciaA. and such assistance should al ways be rsJled, especially when chiI. dren are attacked. Post

water regains it's normal clear ap- pearance. The color is in the water and is not the result of reflection from the sky. This has been proved be- yend doubt by the fact that the color remains the same for days at time regardless of the condition of the clouds. The four colors mentioned are the ones always seen, and they all ways occur in the order named, the disturbance, if such it may be called, covering period of from six weeks to two months in July and August of each year. Old residents of Seaside assert that the phenomenon, Is a reg ular annual event, and that it is al- ways followed by the death of a large number of fish in the lake No ex- planation of the peculiar conditions has ever been attempted by scientists, although several scientific men of note nave studied the lake very carefully, St, Louis Globe Democrat.
