SENATE FACTIONS
NOW FAR APART
REGULARS AND INSURGENTS CAN
NOT AGREE.
CONFERENCE OF ORGANIZATION
FORCES DECIDES.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May IT,
AT conference of Republican 'regu-
lars" of the Senate this afternoon, it
was decided that compromise with the
'"insurgent" Republicans was impossible.
All propositions looking to an agreement
through mutual concessions for an ami
cable settlement of remaining sections Of
the railway bill are likely to be with
drawn.
There were indications OF ill-feeli, be-
tween the regular" and insurgenl Re
publicans as soon as the Senate con-
vened The pending amendment to the
railway bill was that offered by Senator
Cummins to require the retention of the
present rule that suits under the inter
state commerce act be brought against
the interstate commerce commission
rather than against the government as
is provided in the administration bill.
Under the Cummins amendment, the
commission, not the attorney general,
would have charge of the defense of the
suits. When Mr.. Cummins arose to
rich and Elkins hurried about ON the
floor and there was a great deal of con-
fusion. Finally Mr.. Clapp complained
of the lack of order. On his desk and
on those of La Toilette, Dolliver and
Bristow were piled books and papers in
dicating that they expected to speak at
length.
'sWill you accept the House provision
designating parties to suitsT asked Sen
ator Elkins.
POSITIVELY not" replied Mr.. Cum
minis.
Several propositions looking to com
promise were made in vain. Most of
them had come from the regulars, led by

The Ham Fair at Paris,

the ham fair which is held on the Boule-

this fair is wholly misleading, for as fan
as l have ever seen hams are the very
last thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curIos, quaint
jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestries and
books are what most people 90 out for
to SEEK, and a sight not to be easily for
,,otten is the long, wide boulevard lined
ramshackIe stalls laden with every
possible kind of lumber and presided
orer by the most rapacious OF brocan-
raurs.
Out of piles of valueless lumber Amer
leans and English diligently seek for
s>leir pet kind of curios, and there is not

SOAKING RAINS ARE
PUTTING OUT FIRES
PARCHED FIELDS ARE GREATLY
BENEFITED BY DOWNPOUR.
GREAT QUANTITIES OF TIMBER
AND PROPERTY SAVED.

MARQUETTE, Mich. May IL
[Special] "A soaking rain during the
night has checked forest fires in this
portion of upper Michigan. No further
devastation is likely as the precipitation
continues today. The woods have been
parched a month or more and the flames
mad swept an extensive area. Prayers
for rain were offered in church Sunday.
One of the biggest losers is the Lake
Superior Iron and Chemical company.
Twenty thousand cords of hard wood
stored near Mcmillan was destroyed,
causing a loss of $4,000. Twice that
amount was saved only after desper-
ate fight.
MARQUETTE, Mich, May IL
Prayers for rain were said in the Roman
Catholic churches here. The country has
been drying up for two months and
serious forest fires had broken out Mon
day evening a light rain began and there
are indications that the precipitation will
be heavy.
Fires have been burning on every side
of the city the last few days and great
amount of timber has been destroyed.
Similar havoc has been done in praC-
tically all other Upper Peninsula coun-
ties.

NEW RICHMOND, Wis, May IL
First rain since April Is fell Monday
and will do much to halt the forest fires
in northern Wisconsin. The rain brings
great relief to growing crops and insures
the hay crop. Pasturage is as short as
is generally the case in this country in
August.
SUPERIOR, Wis, May 17.-Every
building on the farm belonging to Rail-
road Commissioner 3. III. Myers of Mad
ison at the Brule river was burned by
the forest fires with the exception of
the log house. The timber on the farm
was also badly damaged by the flames.
Prof. Myers was on the farm at the
time and fought to save the house.
ASHLAND, Wis, May 17.-[Special.l
Heavy soaking rain today is extin-
gushing the forest fires which have been

WITNESS IS MISSING.
Attorney Subpoenaed by State in
Schwittay Disbarment Case Disap-
pears-Warrant Issued.

MARINETTE, Wis, May 17.-[spe-
cial. 1.-The surprise of the trial of the
disbarment case against A. e. Schwittay
this morning was the failure of Attorney
John Frankie, an important witness for
the state, to appear Judge Stevens had
issued a bench warrant for him.
All sorts of stories are afioat in regard
to his failure 20 be here. He was the
most important witness of the state in
three OF the charges, and was at one
time a partner of the defendant.
The defense was given a body blow
this morning when Judge Stevens ruled
that no testimony pertaining to any feel
ing that might exist among the attorneys
who were the petitioners, would be ad-
mitted. The court said he was not in
terested in the motives of the petitioners
and had already ruled in that way in
Mr. Schwittay's favor on another phase
of the case.
If Mr.. Frankie fails to appear, the
case may be adjourned until he can be
brought back, and it is said that requisi-
ton papers will be issued for him if ne
has gone out. of the state.

HURT IN AUTO CRASH.
Father Skulik, Well Known Polish
Priest, Drives Car Into Tele-
graph Pole.

WEST UNION, O., May II. = Rev.
Father Bernard NJ. Skulik, D. D., Mgr,
pastor Of ST. Hyacinth's Polish Catholic
church at La Sale, ILL.,, was seriously
and perhaps fatally injured near here
when the automobile he was driving col
lided with a telegraph pole.
The auto was being driven at the rate
of forty miles an hour and Father Sku-
lik was thrown against the pole. His
arm and leg were broken and he was in
jured internally. His head was cut and
it is feared his skull was fractured. He
was taken to nearby farmhouse, where
he still is. He has not regained con-
sciousness since the accident.
Father Skulik, who came to West
Union to inspect a farm he owns near
hear, is one of the best known Polish
priests and authors in America. He has
been in charge of the La Sale congrega-
ton since 1899 and has built it up until
it is the largest Polish congregation in
Illinois outside of Chicago.
In 1904 Father Skulik was appointed
monsignore, prelate to the pontiff, by
Pope Plus. In 1900 Pope Leo had given
him a medal for his literary work. He
has written nearly fifty books in the
Polish, English Slavonic, German, Latin
and Italian languages.

CLEANING SILVERWARE.
The Importance of Having Right Kind
of Polish.

Silver is a beautiful and durable ware
whether solid or plated, but its continued
beauty depends upon the care given it by
it's owner. First, it must be washed
carefully Immediately after using. No
plate powder will remove scratches
caused by careless mixture Of the DIFF
ferent pieces. 1t is of great Importance
to wash the pieces separately in soap and
hot water, rinsing them in hot water and
polish with fine soft linen towel. When
treated in this way consistently, plate re-
quires very little use of powder. Many
of the ''silver polishes" on the market are
mercurial in nature and act quickly in
cleansing and polishing, but the silver
furnishes quickly after their use; Gas
blackens silver left exposed to the air
very quickly. An old cleansing process
is the use of water in which Irish pota-
toes, with jackets on" have been boiled.
It will cleanse delicately chased and en-
graved pieces better than powder, which
settles in the depresslOns. Spoons and
forks, which have become stained with
eggs should be boiled in this water,
rinsed in clear hot water. and when dried
will be found brighter than ever. Here
is an old tried recipe for silver poish,E
which may be made at home: Rub TO
fine powder one pound of the best WHIT
ing, and sift It. Mix together four.
ounces spirits of turpentine, two ounces
spirits wine, one ounce spirits camphor;'
one-half ounce spirits hartshorn. Add,
whiting gradually to the liquid, mixing.
thoroughly until the consistency OF
cream. Put into large bottle and cork
tightly, tying the cork down. When 1t is,
wanted for use, shake, pour out portion
into bowl, and with a soft, clean
sponge cover the silver entirely with It'll
Let dry for ten minutes. Then bush OH
and polish with chamois. This is an eX-I
cellent polish and harmless.

The information from Berlin to the
effect that Germany is preparing to arm
her new battleships with 35-centimeter
guns possesses an element of interest
to the naval ordnance officers. This
caliber is equivalent to 1873 inch, or
slightly larger than the British IS. )
inch guns The Berlin informant de-
scribed the German ordnance as ''more
powerful and twice as long hved' as
the English armament. This leaves the
United States still in the lead with its
new type of 14-inch gun which is to be
installed on the battleships authorized
at the late session of congress. 1t is
as vet only assumed that this caliber
will be adopted for the main battery
of those vessels. since the navy depart
ment has not formally made any such
announcement The new l4-inch guns,
ten for each vessel, Will be reproduc-
lions Of the type gun which has been
successfully tested at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head. A part OF
the total armament of twenty l4-lnch
guns will be manufactured under con
tract. Forgings for the remainder Will
be purchased by the bureau Of ordnance
with a view to employing one eight
hour shift at the naval gun factory at
Washington.
