introduced by Culberson of Texas di
recting the secretary of the treasury
to inform the senate of any national
bank outside Of New York city com
planning by telegraph or letter to the
treasury department between Oct. /
and Nov. Is of the refusal Of New York
national banks to pay New York ex-
change in cash or respond to calls for

senate.
Another Employers Liability Bill.
La Toilette of Wisconsin has intro
duced in the senate an employers liza
bility bill which he believes will pro-
tect the employee more effectually than
the bill recently introduced by Senator
Knox. Some of the distinguishing pro-
visions of the new bill are that no

Grafton as affecting the amount of such

Tariff Inquiry Voted Down.

effort to place the Republicans on rec
ord as to tariff revision when Hitch
cock Of Nebraska moved to authorize
the commercial agents of the bureau Of
manufactures in foreign countries to
collect information about the prices at
which American trust made goods are
sold abroad. The Republican leaders
promptly lined up the majority to sus
tain the speaker in his ruling that the
motion was out Of order in connection
with the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial bill then before the house. The
Democrats appealed from the decision
Of the chair and on this point forced
roll call.

postage on reading matter, extend the
Thanking privilege to seeds, documents,

the man who made that speech. Great
applause on both sides Of the house
greeted the announcement of the speak

Hudson River Tunnel Opened.

| st10SOH NEHCi uHnS1 SPSnSQs
The first fully equipped train bearing
passengers to pass under the Hudson
river made the trip from Fourteenth
street, New York city, to Hoboken,
N. j., Feb. Is. The party consisted OF
about fifty people, mainly railroad Off
cials, bankers and newspaper men. The
trip from station to station occupied a
little over five minutes, and at the
conclusion Of the journey President
McAdoo announced that the tunnel
would be opened for general traffic on
Feb. Is. The cars and general equip
ment show a high degree Of develop
ment in the way Of appliances for Sc
curing comfort and safety. The roll
ing stock is freproof from trucks to-
roof, the doors are operated by, pneu-
matte power, and an automatic block
system makes collision or telescoping
Of trains almost an impossibility.
Thorough ventilation is secured by an
ingenious system which compels each
train to act as piston, drawing the at
mosphere after 1t, thus keeping a con-
slant current through the tunnel with
out the aid of expensive fans.
Immigrant Outflow Continues.
The records of the transatlantic
steamship lines show that for the first
forty-fve days of the present year the
number Of incoming foreigners was o.
839, while those returning for the same
period reached total Of 81 ,443 The
incoming figure Is 249 per cent less
than for the corresponding period in
1907, while that for the outgoing travel
is 26S per cent greater.
Gas Electric Car Tested.
At Schenectady, N. Y, officials of the
Delaware and Hudson company and
the American Locomotive company
have made test of the new gas-elec-
trio car which is expected to revolu-
tionize railroading on short lines. 1t
combines in one the power house trans
mission lines, substations and all the
benefits of electric traction without
the costly and cumbersome features of
the trolley. A powerful gas engine
drives an electric generator. The cur
rent obtained in this way supplies
power to the motors which drive the
car. The gas engine, which consumes
gasoline, runs very smoothly, and the
electrical equipment assures perfect
control Of speed and as comfortable
riding as is enjoyed In the modern in
terurban electric. The shape Of the
ends Of the car is parabolic to reduce
the air resistance to minimum when
travelling at high speed. The eight
cylinder gas engine develops $50 horse
power and is coupled to a 100 horse
power direct current generator. The
machinery worked finely on all kinds
Of grades, and speed Of over sixty
miles an hour was made at times
The car was especially designed and
constructed by the General Electric
company for steam railroad work on
the Delaware and Hudson lines and |
Will be used on several Of its branch
roads. . -l

Freaks Cruiser Record.
The new armored cruiser North Caro-
lima has completed her trial speed test,
having main tanned an average speed

vessel of the armored cruiser class.
1903 New Army Officers.
At the graduating exercises Of the
West Point Military academy, Feb. II,
1OS cadets were given diplomas and
are now in line for commissions in the
regular army, where they are said to
be greatly needed. Secretary Of War
Taft made the principal address and
delivered the diplomas. He reminded
the young men that an army man lost
a good part of his freedom Of initia-
tive and speech and reminded them
that their plain duty was to "obey or
ders and keep your mouth shut"
Troops For Alaskan Strike.
B. direction of the president the act
ing secretary of war has ordered a
company of infantry to proceed from
Fort Gfbbon, Alaska, to Fairbanks, in
the same territory, to preserve order
during the mining strike in that sec
ton. This action was taken upon rep
resentation Of the federal court in
Alaska. The distance to be travelled
is 155 miles, and the troops will be
carried by sleds. The journey can be
accomplished in four or five days.
Converse Defends Our Navy.
Rear Admiral George A. Converse,
retired, president Of the board of con-
struction Of the navy, has made the
special report which he prepared at the
request of President Roosevelt on the
methods Of designing and the structur-
al efficiency Of the American battle
ships While this report is intended as
an answer to all the recent attacks
upon the efficiency Of our naval yes
sells, it is primarily reply to Henry
Reute"dahl'' article in a recent number
OF popular magazine. Admiral Con.
verse does not assert that no mistakes
nave been made or that the battleships
are without their faults. He does con-
tend, however, that these are few and
that the navy Of the United States will
compare favorably in this respect with
that of any other power.
On the subject of freeboard the adj
sniral says that with a few exceptions
cur vessels have more freebroad than
the British and Japanese vessels which
have given good service and pronounces
Mr.. Reuterdahrs statement that ali
modern foreign battleships have for
ward decks from twenty-five to twen-
T-eight feet above the water Every
Ear from the truth" The height of
the gun positions in American vessels,
The says, is equal to that Of similar
ships Of the Bgitish or japanese navy,

Still Hearing From the Message.
of NP AAo
reviews, after an examination of repre-
sentative papers from every section Of
the country, agree in reporting the eff
feet Of the recent special message of
the president reaffirmfng his radical
policies. The Literary Digest says that
political confusion was the most no
ticeable immediate result and that "a
wider survey of the newspaper field
seems to prove that the applause far
outweighs the condemnation, the latter
being directed almost entirely against
the manner and not the matter of the
message" The Independent finds that
events in the east, where some Of the
leading papers openly disapprove Of
the message, the great bulk of opinion
is in approval and that the people take
little stock in the talk about the
Roosevelt panic" This approval is
quite as apt to be found among Demo
Gratis as among Republicans. rf"

The Great White Plague, Kills One
Seventh of the People Born.

Within the last ten years there has
been great aWalling in regard to The
curse of this disease, and united efforts
are being made by physicians and the
laty to stamp it out: but to cure the
disease of inebriety. probably the
greatest scourge. in the catalogue of
diseases, to which human race is liable
through the unhappiness, poverty, and
crime, which it directly and indirectly
causes. little attention is paid.
Physicians in private practice al
though they now recognize inebrity as
a disease amenable to treatment realize
their helplCssness in attempting the
cure of n person addicted to the use of
liquor or drugs They have only to
attempt the cure of this disease in a
few cases when they become dscour-
aged with the lack of results obtained.
for they early recognize the fact that
one of the first requisites for its cure
is that the physician must have abso-
lutte control of his patient This con-
troll can only be exercised in properly
regulated sanitariums. DR.. Kelley the
originator of the worlds most famous
ard successful cure, early saw the de-
STABILITY of having his patient come
to him and being under his daily SUI
pervision and care.
Why do 50 many physicians send
their liquor patients to the Kelley
Cure, or come themselves to be trait
if prchance they fall victims to this
disease? Because after twenty seven
years of success the Kelley Cure can
show the largest percentage of per-
| q II the cures vel
discovered The Kelley Cure was dis
covered by physician and is only adj
ministered by regular physicians in
the various Kelley Institutions. The
Kelley Institute of Maine is in Port
land, the most pleasant summer city
