With the approach Of dog days the
canine subjects OF the food experiments
have been emitting walls all night long
that might come from distorted and
misused stomachs, according TO the
neighbors. Those who have suffered
from the midnight howls for the sake
OF science and the advancement OF the
human race at the expense of canine
digestive organs today filed complaint.
Doctor Wiley though he believes that
great benefits have been derived from
his tests, admitted that there was some
possible ground for complaint and to-
day agreed to remove the kennelor to
change the diet OF the dogs in such a
way as to make them pass peaceful and
quiet nights.

Iieved somewhat today to hear
that there we're IA envelopes received
by the department apparently contain
ing requests for retirement. As there
are but IL vacancies to be created it is
possible that the board will not be
obliged to make any compulsory re-
tirements. These applications will be

be forwarded to President Taft for APP

The State Department received today
from the Chilean government an inyi-
tation to participate in military tour
nament which will be held at Santiago
on September % in connection with the
Centennial Celebration. The invitation
has been forwarded to the War Depart
ment. 1t is doubtful, however, that
the Unied States will be able to take
part.
S. p. Altschul, consul of the Madriz
fraction at New Orleans, may get into
complications with the State Depart
ment as the result Of his appearance on
the Venus in Nicaraguan waters in a
military guise. The American vice
consul at Cape Gracias Dios reports
in mail dispatches received at the de-
partment today that General Altschul
with Irias and 60 men from the Venus
took possession of that town on June
IL. The State Department is not dis
posed to overlook the part played
by Consul Altschul and others under
the pretension that the Venus was an
expectation instead OF an extradition.
This further appearance OF the consul
in the Nicaguan fight as a military
officer may have tie effect of cutting
short his consu a. career at New
Orleans. The State Department is in
vestigating the case.
Congressman William Sulzer Of New
York doomed up in the State Depart
ment dispatches today with a new
scheme for the regeneration OF the fast
dwinding tribe of Sioux Indians. The
dispatche which was from Minister
Sands at Guatemala city, stated that
the arrival of Little Bison, Sioux
chief had been announced there. Little
Bison bore as his official credentials
letters from Congressman Sulzer and
said that he was there to investigate
with the idea Of establishing
in Guatemala a large settlement of
Sioux Indians. The dispatch gave no
details of the project.

RULES COMMITTEE
SLATE SELECTED
No insurgents Are TO BE Given Birth
on the New Rules Committee
Of the House.

Washington, d. c., Mar. ga
Through the maze Of speculation re.
garding the probable personnel of the
enlarged rules committee of the house
there was developed Tuesday a slate
for the republican membership in that
body. Several conferences were held.
and as a result II is understood the
members OF the committee may be
selected on geographical basis. The
tentative slate is divided into groups
out of which the leaders expect one
each to be chosen. The groups fol-
low:
Dalzell OF Pennsylvania Smith OF
Iowa, Mccall OF Massachusetts,, J.
sloat Fassett of New York, Boutell of
Illinois or Longworth OF Ohio, Young
OF Michigan or Stevens of Minnesota,
Smith of California or Hawley of Ore
gon or Howell of Utah.
From this slate the six republican
members OF the committee of ten may
be selected at the republican caucus
tomorrow night. This list Of probable
selections does not include a single
insurgent republican.
Republican leaders take the position
that only by rock-ribbed, unfiinch.
ingly stalwart regular republican
membership can the rules committee
transact any effective business. They
contend that the insurgents made a
mistake in fixing the membership Of
the committee nc ten instead OF some
odd number and that It plainly made
impossible the inclusion of any In
surgent republicans.
1t was said by the regular repub-
llcans that to permit the inclusion of
an insurgent as one OF the six would
give him as great power as the
speaker has enjoyed In that he would
doubtless consult his insurgent col
leagues on every move, and that the
regulars would have 20 agree with
him or else leave the committee sub-
ject to tie vote OF i've to five In case
the insurgent chose to vote with the
four democrats who are to be select
ed IN caucus Thursday night Most of
the Insurgents disayow any desire
for specific representation from their
branch of the party.
Representative Hittlgen of Iowa. the
insurgent who has drafted a resolu-
ton proposing on committee on COM
mittees, said that he had finally de-
cided TO introduce that measure at
the first favorable opportunity.

for the elimination of the speaker
