IN THE SENATE.
After Several Speeches Senate Votes
Is to Increase the Tariff on Shoes.

the Senate returned to the considera-

amendment increasing tn duty on col

When the Senate convened at 10
o'clock, Senator Beveridge baked for
about four hours and was followed by
Mr. Bailey at almost as great length
Mr. Ncwiands was the last of the
ora tors OF the day and he had not long
surrendered the lloor when the Senate
adjourned.
The theme of Mr.. Beverages dis
course was an amendment proposed by
him regarding the size of tobacco pack
ages. He contended that while the size
of the packages had been reduced dur
ing the Spanish war with the end in
view of compelling the purchaser to
pay the war tax, those sizes have never
been restored nor the prices reduced,
notwithstanding the removal of the
tax, thus practically giving the tobacco
manufacturers and especially the to-
Gacco trust the advantage Of the tax.

ton for about nine year. He declared
that the trust had influenced legisla-
ton for this purpose and asserted that
it was being benefited to the extent
of many million dollars a year Mr.
Bailey talked about free raw material
for the purpose Of justifying his vote
as Democrat against the free entry
of iron ore, lumber and hides He de-
clared that previous to the Cleveland
administration, the established Demo-
cratic policy was in opposition to the
f:ee admission of raw material, and
undertook to show that such a policy
was really part of the Republican
scheme of high protection.
Mr.. NeWlandS gave his attention to
the income tax question, devoting es-
prcial consideration to the President
recommendation for a corporation tax
He discussed at length the legislation
of 1898, providing tax upon gross re-
ccirts of oil refiners. on which the
SpreCkels case was decided by the su-
preme court and which is relied upon
By the President as precedent for the
proposed corporation tax. He pointed
out Especially that the law of 1898 was
applicable not to corporation alone, but
to every person. firm, company and
corporation carrying on such business
and suggested that a tax applying only
to corporations might violate the con-
stitutional requirements of uniformity

sturd, :-year-old, son of Ethelbert-

classic event of the American turf.

2-5 of a second slower than the record

Get Out of Doors.

Trudeau's classic experiment points
us In the right direction. After in
ocuiating a number of rabbits, with
tuberculosis he confined a number OF
them indoors and turned the Others
outdoors. The latter all recovered
while the former all died.
This experiment shows that a rabbit
living upon its natural food and under
natural environment is proof against
tuberculosis. There is abundant rea
son to believe this equally true OF

In other words, tuberculosis is not a
necessary evil of human life. but is a
natural consequence of erroneous
