STRONGEST ANIMAL FORCE.

Ask ten persons what is the strong
est animal force in the world, and
nine will reply that it is the blow
from a lions paw The tenth man
may have had a checkered career and
express the belief, based on expert
ence, that it is the kick OF a Missouri
mule.
AS a matter of fact, the blow of a
whales tail is incomparably the
strongest animal force; a blow deliv-
cred by a full-grown whale placed at
just the right distance would smash
in the side of a wooden ship as though
it were an egg-shell. The second
strongest force is the kick of giraffe.
and this terrible kick is very ade-
quate protection to these otherwise
helpless animals The stroke of the
lions paw comes third on the list.

WHAT BRITAIN DRINKS.

Great Britain, which has always
liked its cup of tea, now finds it more
of a cheering beverage than ever. The
commissioners of customs and excise
have incorporated into their latest
book some interesting figures on the
social habits Of the people.
Since 1891 there has been 2e per

United Kingdom. Cocoa comes next
with an increase Of 13 per cent. Cof-

TEETH OF ALL coLoRs.

Pearly teeth are not the fashion
everywhere Firms of artificial teeth
manufacturers who have an export
trade have to keep in stock molars of
every shade of color from white to
black. There is a steady demand for
black teeth in Siam, Java, Batavia,
and Burma, where the natives chew
the betel-nut, which blackens the
teeth. For Persia the teeth must be
absolutely white Recently, an order
was received from Bhavnagar, in In
dia, for some bright red and blue arti-
fetal teeth. Smokers teeth are regu-
larly supplied to dentists in shades to
match those which have been discol-
1red by nicotine.

Washington, April II. - "After
thorough canvass of the Republican
I membership of the house, / can sa,
positively a substantial majority Of
the party will vote against the Cana
dian reciprocity BILL" said Dwight
of New York, the Republican whip
tonight. The bill is to be put upon
its passage this week.
This will not prevent its passage,
even though several Democrats vote
against the majority of their party.
When the reciprocity bill passed the
house in the last session, majority of
the Republicans voted against it, but
the Democratic majority in favor of it
has greatly increased in the new con-
gress.
Five speakers participated in the
debate today. Fordney, of Michigan,
Republican member of the ways and
means, committee, and Lenroot, of
Wisconsin, an insurgent Republican,
spoke against the bill. Harrison, of
New York and Peters, of Massachu-
setts, Democratic members of the
ways and means committee, and Crum-
packer, of Indiana, approved its pass
age.
Lenroot gave an emphatic statement
of insurgent policies and views. Ques-
toned from the Democratic side, he
said he opposed the reciprocity agree
ment because he believed it increased
many duties. He said if the Demo-
Gratis were sincere in their desire to
put more articles on the free list,
they would attach the free list to the
reciprocity bill. He then accused
them of wanting the president to veto
their free list bill when it finally
passed, so as to make political capital
for them.
"The progressive Republicans have
never been free traders" said Len
root. 81 challenge anyone to point to
any speech made by a progressive Re-
publican in congress or elsewhere ad-

President Taft, (" said Fordney,
will be the candidate of the Repub-
lean party for reelection, and l will
'ote for him gladly, but l differ from
lim radically on this Canadian tariff
question.
Fordney said he had lost all the
money he had put into the -four mill
ng business at the time of the Wilson
ariff bill, and that he had been a

Troops Tor Stands Wan.

Washington-The departure of all
troops now under orders for duty in
the Philippines will be delayed six
months. This is generally attributed
to the situation in Mexico. the presi-
dent being unwilling to disturb the
forces on duty in the South. At the
War department it is explained that
the postponement is due TO a decision
to make the term of service in the
Philippines two and half years, in
stead of two, as at present.

PEACE MOVE NOW ON
Full Information Is Demanded By
Mexican Chamber Of Deputies.
Intervention Much Feared, and Mex
leans Think 1t Is imminent
Would End Revolt.

Mexico City, April 2O.-At the re
quest of the chamber Of deputies Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs de la Barre
will make to that body tomorrow &
full report regarding the negotiations
for peace and the relations of Mexico
with the United States.
1t was announced last night that the
minister proposed to render a report
to the state senate on the subject of
the controversy between the two coun-
tries as the result of the revolution,
but when the chamber convened at a
O'Clock this afternoon it became evil
dent that many of it's members were
not at all satisfied with this arrange
ment. They demanded all informa-
tion available,
There is no doubt that now the
Mexicans believe American interven-
tion is imminent and large part of
them, ignorant of just what is being
done, consider it inevitable.
In letter to the Presidente Re-
electionist Clubs, the organization
formed for the support of General
Diaz during the last political cam
paign, Rosendo Pineda, the leader of
the group, issues warning based on
the possibility of United States inter
vention.
Mr.. Pineda recently returned from
New York. AS he was there when
the permanent committee of congress
adopted the famous measure for the
suspension of guarantees, he took no
part in that move, although president
of the committee.
So far the negotiations for peace
have been carried out largely by
agents unofficially representing the
government, but it is no secret that
the minister of foreign affairs is the
man who has been most instrumental
in their direction
In asking for the reports the cham
Der of deputies is bringing into the
open not only the question of the rela-
tions with the United States, fast be-
coming bugaboo, but the negotia-
tions for peace. The reports will be
made in open session and all Mexico is
to know just what is being done to
end the war.
A still deeper significance is that by
their act the deputies have practically /
placed their country in position where (
it can deal frankly and openly with
the rebels, something which up to this
time has been impossible for the un-
official agents to do.
1t is not at all improbable that, af-
ter having heard the ministers re-
ports, the deputies may take an active
part in the settlement of the revolu-
ton by assisting in the negotiations
for peace. Officially the chamber has
not been asked to assist. Indeed, Off
,ially, it has known nothing of nego-
-iations for peace and could not, mas
much as the government has not rec
,gnized the existence of a revolution
lry army of sufficient power to justi-
Y it in treating with its emissaries.

Washington, April Is. Contending
that the constitutions of New Mexico
and Arizona are in accordance with the
constitution of the United States, SEN
ator Chamberlain, of Oregon, today
delivered an argument in the senate
in support of the Brown resolution
approving the two instruments.
He pointed out that the constitution
was similar to the systems of Oregon,
Oklahoma, Montana and South Dako-
ia.
Mr.. Chamberlain defended the pro-
vision for the recall of state officers,
including judges, contained in the
Arizona constitution. He said there
is no reason why members of the ju-
dietary should not be subjected to the
will of the people as much as other
and that such a law would
have no tendency to deprive that
branch of the government of it's inde-
pendence.
Mr.. Chamberlain referred to the
effort to reopen the case of Lorimer
and expressed the opinion that this
matter is not yet settled. "No matter
can be-" he said, "until it is settled
right"

Pekin-Discovery that some portion
of the revenues of Manchurian prov
inces has been allotted as part of the
security for the four-power loan of
$50, 900, 600 to China has aroused deep
resentment in Japan Toxic dis
patches state that the semi-official
press teens with bitter criticisms,
characterizing the loan as an un-
friendly act like the Knox proposal,
since the powers holding this security
have an opportunity to interfere in
various questions which may arise
hereafter.
China is severely censured for hy-
pothecating these revenues, disregard
ing Japan's and Russia's contentious
that they have superior rights in Man

Washington, April 21.-Party affil
iations were broken repeatedly today
in the house in the concluding hours OF
the fight on the Canadian reciprocity
bill.
Democrats denounced fellow Dem
ocrats for supporting a Republican
protective principle and Republicans
hurled criticism against fellow Repub-
licans for marching with the Demo
Gratis toward the free trade goal. Dur
ing the seven hours of debate "a men
spoke on the measure.
Most criticisms of the bill were from
agricultural sections and were based
on the position that reciprocity with
Canada under the agreement would in
jure the agricultural interests of the
United States. Differences in the
North Carolina delegation, all Demo-
Gratis, were vigorously aired on the
floor. Representative Webb said
Claude Kitchin, who opened the re-
ciprocity fight last Friday, had no
right to criticise him or other mem
bers of the state delegation who pro-
posed to vote against the reciprocity
agreement, because they thought it
was opposed to Democratic ideals.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington, April 21. Ex-Speaker
Cannon, Representatives Hanna, Of
North Dakota, Nelson, Of Wisconsin,
and Sloan, of Nebraska, attacked the
Canadian reciprocity agreement in the
debate on the reciprocity bill in the
house today. Gudger, of North Caro-
lima, Democrat, also attacked it.
Rapid-fre speeches were made by
Republicans in reply to Republican
and Democratic supporters of that
measure, headed by Representatives
Underwood and Mccall Hubbard, Of
Iowa, spoke in favor of reciprocity.
Mr.. Sloan referred to the house sup
porters of the reciprocity bill as "a
Tammany and Dixie combination
against the welfare of the country"
The general debate of the measure
will continue tomorrow, but Chair
man Underwood, Of the ways and
means committee, will endeavor to get
the bill before the house under the
fve-minute rule before adjournment.
Aided by large map of the United
States and Canada, Cannon played the
role of schoolmaster to a crowded
floor and filled galleries. His re-
marks followed those of Representa-
tive Gudger
Cannon assailed the proposed agree
ment as dangerous to American trade,
inimical to the best interests of Amer
ican farmers and certain to result in
of American farm lands.
"Not since the war with Spain and
all that followed it has there been con-
sidered by the house of representa-
tives so important bill as the one
now pending" he declared.
"On the action of the house rests
the well being and the prosperity of the
people of the United States. Is it
proper on slight consideration to vital
ize into law an agreement that affects
the prosperity of every home in the
land?"
Mr.. Cannon declared that the treaty
had been made in secret. The coun-
try, the senate and the house had act
ually nothing to do with the prepara- |
Lion of the agreement with Canada,
he declared.
