FROM WASHINGTON


Senator Bristow, Of Kansas, has ar
rived in Washington for the session.
He said that il the republican party
had kept It's promise 10 revise the tariff
it would not have been de-
feated He thinks the people are tired
Of the high protection theory and want
a tariff for revenue only.
A special order has been issued by
the Department OF Agriculture placing
the ban upon the importation OF horses,
asses, mules, sheep, goats, and swine
from any Of the countries OF Asia or
Africa. The special law signed by the
secretary of agriculture specifically
warns Tho steamship lines plying be-
tween the United States and any OF the
countries Of Asia and Africa that the
landing OF any animal is forbidden at
any port OF the United States, the terri
tories, or dependencies thereof. The
secretary Of agriculture said today that
certain contagious, infectious and com
municable diseases dangerous to the
live stock OF this country exist among
the animals OF Asia and Africa.
The Thirteenth census will go down
in the columns Of history Saturday,
December 10, when Director Durand
will announce the total population OF
the United States. The director said
today that the final figures were near
completion and that the announce
ment would he made upon the veri.
fcation Of the results. A statement
will also be made regarding the an
Douncement.
The president today announced the
appointment Of Fred w. Lehman, oil
St. Louis, to be solicitor general to sue
coed the late Lloyd w. Bowers. Leh-
mann was born in Prussia in 1888.
He graduated from Tabor College,
Iowa, in 1878, being admitted to the
bar in the same year. For the past
twenty years he has practiced law al

American Bar Association and as chair
man of the board freeholders Of the
city OF St. Louis.
RcLorts relching the Interstate Com:
merce Commission from Savannah to-
day we're to the effect that Harley G.
Miller, the indicted Philadelphia grain
dealer. would in all probability be
placed on trial in February. Miller
had no difficulty in giving the $50, 00C
bond fixed by Judge Emory Speer in
his case. An interesting feature Of the
case concerns the presence OF Miller in
Savannah. Tile district attorney had
issued subpoenas to two OF Miller's
clerks to appear before the grand jury
last Monday. Miller himself appeared
in Savannah at the same time and in
formed the United States District At
tarney that he had alsoi been served
with subpoena by the United States
marshal in Philadelphia. As no sum
mons for him had been issued by
Judge Speer's court be was not permit
ted TO appear before the goand jury.
Two theories were advanced as to bis
willingness to appear before the grand
iury. One was that he desired to alb
solve the transportation companies
from blame and the other was that by
giving testimony before the grand jury
he would gain immunity from proseCu-
ton. The charge against Miller is re-

TO SAVE SUBMARINE VICTIMS.

The saving of life in submarines
which have got out of gear and onto
the bed Of the ocean has long puzzled
the experts, for the natural Difficult
ties in the way preclude the employ
ment of the naval lifesaving devices in
use on the surface. Not the least of
these difficulties is that arising from
the inrushing salt water coming into
contact with the stored electrical en-
ergy or open terminals and the conse-
quent poisoning of the air by the for
nation of chlorine gas. Among the
most effective life-saving levices now
in use in England is a special form OF
diving helmet, to which is attached a
short jacket of strong waterproof ma
terial in front of which, inside, is a
pocket containing a combined purifier
and oxygen generator, consisting of
two small chambers joined in one case.
These chambers are charged with a
patented substance which, when in con
tact with the fater vapor of the breath
gives off pure oxygen gas and forms a
caustic alkali. The alkali then takes
up the carbonic acid gas of the respir-
ell air, and forms an alkaline carbon
ate. In this same way the same air
purified ana reoxygenated, is used over
end over again.
As submarines do not always lie
right way up Mr.. Znmmer suggests that
three or four tubes should be installed
each in different direction, so that
which ever way the boat might be lay
ing one of the tubes would always be
upright He further suggests that the
tubes should be attached to the man
! holes of the hull, thus allowing the
crew to escape even if the vessel be
| on her side or bottom upwards. In
| this ease provision is made for valve
| cover outside each manhole, and escape
therefrom is effected by a series OF
valves and the equalization of pressure

THE TRIAL OF DR.. HYDE.

The conviction st Kansas City, MO,
by a jury of his fellow citizens of DIR.
B. c. Hyde, a practicing physician, for
the murder of his father-in-law, Col
Thos a. Swope, millionaire merchant
of the city mentioned, comes as a sur
prise to those who have followed the
trial of the case which has attract
ed nationwide attention.
The surprise comes partly because
all che evidence of guilt was wholly
circumstantial, partly because the acts
which were charged as criminal were
ia the course of medical proctice, and
for the rest, because of the wealth
and high social standing Of all the par
titS
The motive for the commission of
the murder for which conviction was
had and for several other murders and
attempted murders which helped to
make up the case, was to secure by in
heritance for the doctors wife and ev-
entually for himself, the entire vast
fortune of his wife, father. Besides
Col. SWope and his confidential cOun-
sci and agent there were several other
members of the family who were to be
put out of the way before the doctors
wife could become the heir to the great
est part of the coloneI's fortune, and
so the doctor, who was a member of the
family and the family physician I'M
dertook to get rid of them all by means
apparently of ordinary medical meth
DDS
The confidential counsel and agent
died first, and he was soon followe by
the colonel himself. Then other mem
bers of the family who were in the
way of quick inheritance of the col
onel's wealth were simultaneously at
tackled by sickness of several sorts, and
would soon have been put out of the
way but for the active protestations
of two trained nurses, who had be-
come alarmed at the methods of treat
ment and at the medicine used. Their
suspicious had become aroused in the
previous cases, and in the latter they
were so much wrought up that they
made their fears known, and another
physician was called in.
During the course of the trial it
was learned that excessive bleeding
and the use of poisons had been large
ly resorted to, in addition to which it
was shown that typhoid fever germs
had been procured from a pathologist
and it was charged that they were in
troduced into the systems of some of
the patients.
While the testimony pointing to the
commission of the crime charged was
wholly circumstantial, it was so start
ling and horrifying in its nature that
it counld not but attract attention in
the community where it occurred, and
as to a motive that seemed clear
enough.
DR.. Hyde IS wife, who was a daugh-
ter of the murdered millionaire, would
have inherited quite large sum, with

TICK ERADICATION.

Hon. G. H. Afford, member Of ,he
legislature from Pike county, intro
duced and secured the passage of the
following bill, as a companion to his
forty thousand dollar appropriation
bill for the state live stock sanitary
board:
'Be it enacted by the legislature of
The state of Mississippi, that the
boards of supervisors in the various
counties in the state are hereby au-
thorized and empowered to appr0pri-
ate money out of the general fund of
the county to be used for the purpose
of cooperating with the Mississippi
live stock sanitary board and the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
bureau of animal industry, in eradi-
eating the cattle tick and preventing
contagious, infectious and communi-
cable diseases in live stock"
In discussing the bill Mr.. Afford
said:
'nThe passage of this bill means that
a new era of genuine prosperity will
be ushered in. The eradication of the
cattle tick and the prevention of con-
tagious, infectious and communicable
diseases in live stock will more than

balanced system of farming-one that
will include more crops to enrich in
stead of wear out our land; one that
viii include more live stock to con
sumo the surplus farm products and
leguminous crops that must be grown
to enrich the land and to make ma
nure to still further enrich the land.
Good live stock is the foundation
Of successful system of farming in
every country of the world. The old one

development of the live stock indus

'EThe cattle tick sucks the blood
and initiates the skin of animals, kills
many cattle by tick fever, ana causes
the United States government to i'm
