Cries of joy from the watchers were
taken up by thousands along the
quays Later it was claimed that the
falling was due to the rapid overflow
into the Bercy quarter from points
where the Seine had broken its bar

The experts say the river was still
rising this afternoon, but that the
maximum flood should be reached by
s. O'Clock.
The Bercy quarter has been aban-

Insurgent Leader Introduces a Reor-
ganization Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Representa-
tive Fowler of New Jersey, one of the
original Insurgents has introduced a
resolution providing for a reorganiza-
ton of the rules committee and the
removal of Speaker Cannon from that
committee. The resolution aims
straight at the house organization and
would shear the speaker of q great
portion of the power of his office. The
resolution provides that February Z.
the house shall elect five additional
members of the committee on rules,
that the speaker shall no longer be a
member of the committee which shall
consist of the four members hereto
fore appointed and the five members
to be elected and that the committee
consisting of six Republicans and
three Democrats shall elect one of its
number as chairman.
THE house resolution which I have
introduced had for it's object the
broadening of the committee on rules
and the exclusion hereafter of the
speaker of the house from that COM
hnittee said Mr.. Fowler. Not to
move forward to this advanced posi-
tion would disclose either q want or
intelligence or a lack of courage on
the Republican party
Speaker Cannon when shown a
copy of the resolution said: II do
not know of any law to prevent man
from introducing any kind of resol-
ution he may see fit
Champ Clark, the minority leader,
said it did not provide a sufficient pro-
portion of minority members on the
rules committee. Representative Nor
ris of Nebraska, one of the leaders of
the Republican insurgents declared
that the insurgents stood solidly be-
hind the principles set forth in the

you can, but I want to tell you in the
beginning that secured my informa-

charges said Mr.. Bone earnestly in
reply, land to your entire satisfaction

~%HERE are two general types of
81 swine-bacon and fat. The
IL principal fat hog breeds are
Pol&nd China. Duroc-Jersey
Berkshire and Chester White. These
breeds are especially adapted TO the

The principal bacon breeds are Tam
worth and Yorkshire. The Hampshire
is intermediate between the two types
The bacon hogs are better suited to
those localities where corn is not grown
to any extent. Skimmilk, peas and
pasture are among the principal crops
used in raising bacon hogs.
Whichever type is selected. an en-
deavor should be made to get the best
possible individuals of that type. Not
only that. but if you wish to succeed
in the hog business you must pick out
a certain breed and stick TO it, The
general practice of buying boar of a
