GAMBOA, Oaxaca, Mexico, Nov. 26.-It
was discovered today that 26 prisoners
in the penitentiary at Tehuantepec, many
Of them murderers, had gained their lib

ancient structure. The prison was erect
ed in 1540 and the tunneling of the
prisoners caused the crumbling walls to

GREAT SUM
TO ELECT
Charged That Stepsenson
Spent Quarter Million
e for Senate Election.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 27.-lf United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson
holds the strength he exhibited yester-
day in separate branches of the Wis
consir legislature he will BE- elected
in joint assembly to succeed himself
for full term. Senator Stephenson
received 60 votes in the assembly and
12 in the senate or total vote of
72. In the assembly, 15 members
voted blank and in the senate 16
were counted as present hut not
voting. It requires 81 votes in joint
assembly to elect. 1t was said last
night that several members of the
assembly voted for Stephenson yes
terday under pressure and that an
effort would likely be made to have
them withdraw their support today.
Sensations were numerous, espe-
cially in the upper branch of the
legislature, today. Shortly after con-
vening Senator Husting. in speaking
on the joint resolution to investigate
the senatorial primary, said:
"Can you use the cloak Of the prl-
mary 10 debauch the electorate?"
II was a matter of common knowlI
edge that nothing but money entered
into the election campaign last sum
mer and that money won, he said.
On top of Senator Husting's TRADE,
came Senator Blaine with the fling
of 16 specific charges accusing Sen
ator Stephenson OF the improper use
of money in the primary, naming the
sum as in excess of $106 900 and ap-
proximating $25O,OOO Senator Blaine
followed the presentation of his
charges by speaking on the subject,
''The Purchase of a United States
Senatorship,' and he proposed to
show that 1t was purchased by cor
ruptiOn, bribery and fraud. He fol-
lowed his attack by Offering subst-
tute Investigation resolution in place
of the Husting measure, which diff
fered in that It provided immunity
from arrest for all who may testify
to the committee of bribery but not
immunity for perjury. THIS resolu-
tion was adopted by the senate at
the late afternoon session.

Raising Chicks in Winter.

The success of raising chicks in
cold weather depends upon the hen,
II they are raised with one, or up
on the management of the incubator,
II that is used. Some hens are more
careful with broods than others. It
is unnatural for a hen to become
broody in the winter. but some OF
them will insist upon sitting even
during the coldest weather. When
the weather is extremely cold the
chicks are able to endure quite
low degree of temperature without
dlfficulty If they can run under the
hen every now and then to get
warm, But as some hens are more
active than others and will not stand
still long enough in winter for the
chicks to nestle. It is not always TO
be depended upon that the chicks
will get warm when they desire.
When placing eggs under hen in
the winter 1t is best to take into con-
sideration when the eggs will hatch
and watch them for the least change
in the weather. The best mothers
are the Brahmas and Cochins, as they
are naturally indolent and prefer to
remain quiet. They sometimes tread
upon the chicks and thereby quickly
thin a brood to a minimum number,
but clumsiness is not always the
rule and they endeavor to do their
best for the chicks in their care.
Light hens are usually too restless
TO be winter mothers. 1t is best,
whatever mothers are used, to con-
fine all sitting hens In coops or
boxes so that they will not race
around, for the cold winds are fatal
to young chickens as well as damp
ness, It is sometimes very profit
able to raise chicks in cold weather,
but choose the hens with care and
see that they look out for their
young.

Sir Everand Fin Thurn, at pres
ent Governor of Fiji. relates a most
trying experience he went through
during one of these mad frolfas. He
says that the players suddenly burst
in amongst the huts, swarmed up
the roofs, tearing great mouthfuls OF
thatch away in their flight, and
then dashed INTO the rooms, upset
ting everythinIs they came across and
destroying food and furniture. The
old man of the settlement and his
wife, in real anxiety for their goo1s,
tried to protect what they could,
tearinlg 1t even from out of tho
monkeys hands or throwing food
to them to DISTRACT their attention
from more valuable property. At last
with the help Of two bystanders, the
old man secured the more violent
of the players, and. despite some
too genuine scratl'hings and billings
managed to fasten them by ropes
round their loins, monkey-wise TO
the posts of houses. The captives
screamed and shrieked and yelled,
they rolled as far as their cords
wcrld allow. and tore with their
teeth anything that came in their
way: food, clothing, hammocks,
pans. and ca'abashes. .. The whole
mighty uproar only ceased when all
were literally too tired to do more.
