Payne Opens Tariff Debate.

WASHINGTON, March pa gun in
the tariff debate was fired in the house
today by Mr.. Payne of New York. In
opening, Mr.. Payne declared that
the country was overwhelmingly in
favor of protective tariff. ''It is an
American policy" he said, "and it
seems to be acquiesced in by the great
majority of the American people. "
He did not believe, he added, that
there was a man within the sound of
his voice who would rise in his seat
and say that he was in favor of tear
ing down every custom house in the
United States.
Mr.. Payne declared the Dingley bill
had proved to be a boon to the people
of the United States, in proof of which
statement he cited the immense collec-
tions of revenue and expenditures
under it as given in his recent report
on the bill. These expenditures he
said, included $50, 900, 900 for the Pan
ana canal for which no bonds were
issued.

Hill Talks To Farmers.

ST. PAUL, March 25.-Speaking to
the graduating class Of the Minnesota
Agricultural college this afternoon
j. j. Hill said that the agricultur al
school "should stand in the relation
of q wise parent not only to those
who, like you, get early counsel from
here, but to others. It can help the
farmer by furnishing him good seed
or testing his own seed grain.
snow he often sends his best grain
to market, uses csrelessly chosen lots
for seed or even relies with incredible
folly upon the stuff that q paternal
government furnishes him free under
a congressional frank obtainad from
some dealer who gets a good price
for an indifferent article, and peddled
about the country on the assumption
that it is good on its face in exch ange
for votes. To root out this hoary old
abuse will be as helpful as to banish
the Russian thistle and the wild mus.
tard from our fields"

A SPORTSMEN'S PARADISE.
Roosevelt Will Have-a Great Hunt In
African JungIes.

In the dry bush plains, the myster-
ious jungle and impenetrable forests
of British East Africa, where Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the Smithsonian
African expedition will soon begin
the search for specimens for the Ma.
tional museum at Washington, there
is variety of big game and smaller
mammals that makes this the most
wonderful shooting groundj in the
world.
Hours before the American party
reach the Ju-Ja ranch, a score of
miles north of Nairobi, where the
expeditition will make its headquar.
ters, game will be sighted as the train
makes its tortuous way along the
Uganda railroad. There is no shoot
ing allowed within mile of the rail-
road, and the sight of the herds of
graceful antelope or the massive
eland grazing along the line within
only few miles of the coast, serves
to whet the appetite for the .''safari,"
or hunt, to come in the interior.
There is game all along the line Of the
Uganda railroad, but hunters gener.
ally go to Nafrohi, some 400 miles in
land. Passing Simba, where lions
may be found, the railroad enters the
M Makindu district. rare shooting
country.
1t is to the north of thelJu.Jasranch
though, that all kinds of big game
abound. A flock of vultures, airing
in the air, tells of lion roaming on
the dusty plain. These birds wait to
pick the bones of the lions kill. The
country is alive with lions, but few
fear them, as they give man wide
berth at all times. Only when wounded
aud escape is disputed will the king
of beasts show fight.
In point of danger the natives of
this territory regard the buffalo herds
as the most dangerous to encounter,
and when q traveliug!party OF porters
will scarcely noticelsthe roars of
lion, the sound of buffalo herd will
send them into a panic. This much
dreaded beast is tricky and brave,
and q huntsman needs all his skill to
make his kill. Wounded, the buffalo
resorts to a ruse of retreating into the
brush. tempting the huntsman to fol.
low him. Wheeling suddenly about
the wounded animal charges the on.
coming hunter, who, unless he sends
q bullet into the brain of the best, is
most likely to be gored and trsmpled
to death under the animals hoofs.

Missing Men Are Found.

Los ANGELES, March 23.-Lost to
the world for u hours, fret carried by
fierce winds to q great height above
the Sierra Madre peaks, in q monster
balloon, then brought to earth in the
mountain Businesses of the high Sier-
ras, in binding blizzard, was the
experience of the six men who ascended
in the big racing balloon "America,"

last Saturday afternoon. They arrived
at the foot of q mountain trail, where
friends awaited them, at $50 O'Clock
this evening.
Little the worse for their experiences
the men stopped at the end of the long
trail Just long enough to be greeted
by those who had conducted the long
search for them, and then hurried on
to Pasadena.

Indians Are Disappearing.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The red
man Is gradually disappearing
through the ravages of tuberculosis.
To save the Indian race from extinc.
tion by this disease, and yet lead it
into the ways of the white man, is the
task which the officials of the bureau
of Indian aft airs have undertaken.
When the white man undertook to
civilize the Indian tuberculosis was
almost unknown among the race. To.
day the Indians are dying off at the
rate OF approximately thousand a
year. OF all of the tribes, none ap-
pear to be so susceptible as the Sioux
Indians in South Dakota. Last year
nearly 1000 members of this tribe
were afflicted. They live in unsani-
tary surroundings.

BELL|GERENT C0NGRESSMEN
Discussion Of Tariff Bill Causes
Loss Of Temper.

WASHINGTON, March pa rough
and tumble fight was narrowly avert
ed in the house this afternoon.
Fordney of Michigan was discussing
the tariff and for over half an hour
had been assailed with questions
about the lumber trust. He denied
there was lumber trust. Finally he
became irritated and declared he
would answer no more questions along
hat line.
He yielded, however, to Byrd of
Mississippi, an Indian. tall and
swarthy, who questioned him and in.
timated a umb Der mill in Mississippi
owned by Fordney was part of the
trust. Fordney flushed and shouted: :
''Tha,'s all buncombe: you don't
know damned thing about it,"
Byrd started on run toward Ford =
ney. shedding his coat as he ran.
Byrd's pause to prepare for the fight
allowed time for the members to sur
round and dissuade him.
When the way toward Fordney was
blocked Byrd paced the floor in the
open space with cienched fists, shak.
ing his head, apparently determined
to have the matter out. In a few
minates he was composed aud returned
to his seat. Then explanations fol.
lowed. Fordney said, if he had been
discourteous, he wished to withdraw
his remarks.
He explained that he had great pro-
vocation. Byrd denied saying tnat
Fordney's mill was a member of ,he
trust, but asserted that in the govern
ment investigation it was discovered
that combination existed. He said
he merely asked If Fordney's com.
pany was member.
Fordney denied any knowledge of
the trust. A friendly understand
ing was restored and Fordney pro.
Ceeded.

Swain Family Is Deported.

HELENA, March 26.-Mary Swain,
whom John Schlitz was convicted of
keeping for immoral purposes, was
deported tonight by the immigration
officers here. Her baby, of which
Schlitz is the father, and her sister
and brother were also deported, and
her mother will be cent back to Can
ada as soon as she serves out her
sentence.
Judge Hunt asserted that the only
proper thing to do in the case OF Mary
Swain was to permit her to rem ain in
Montana and to marry Schlitz, who
says he loves her and wants to marry
her, but the authorities at Washing
ton refused to rescind the deportation
order.
1t is expected Schlitz will marry the
girl in Canada and will then return to
Montana. Schlitz being an Ameri.
can, this action cannot be prevented.
