Novel Way Of Getting Rid Of the Cat

Caterpillars have no terrors for
Eiihu Batdorf, a Quarryman, living

cred a new way to rid the trees of
his orchard Of pests of all kinds. Re-
Gently he happened to spill small
quantity of nitroglycerin on some
bushes near his quarry.
Shortly afterwards he heard Sc
ries Of short explosions coming from
that direction. He investigated and
found that as each caterpillar de-
voured a small amount Of the ex-
plosive he fell to the ground and
expIoded with a loud report.
Batdorf was not slow to utilize
his discovery and mixing an ounce
of the explosive into four gallons OF
water he began to spray his apple
trees with the mixture and in a short
time there was regular fusilade Of
explosions in the orchard, sounding
like volleys Of miniature musketry.
All his trees were cleared of cater

BRYAN HITS BACK
CRITICISM BASED ON WASHING
TON NEWS DISPATCH.
II That Dispatch Reported Under
wood Wrong Bryan VIII With
draw His Criticism.

4 Chicago dispatch says William
J. Bryan replied to the criticism Of
Representative Underwood, made in
the house Thursday, by declaring
that the statements which Mr.. I'm
derwood criticised were based on a
Washington dispatch which appear
ed in an Omaha paper.
.If that report is incorrect" said
Mr.. Bryan, 81 take it for granted
that Mr. Underwood will read the re-
port before the house and deny it."
''If the report IS correct, I have
nothing to withdraw. If it Is eron-
eous l shall withdraw my criticism Of
Mr.. Underwood so far as it is based
on his action in that particular case.
whatever the outcome in this in
stance, I do not withdraw my criti-
cism of Mr.. Underwood on other oc-
caslons and I intend to take early
opportunity to give him some other
things to discuss.
Eyes, I readsthe report Of Mr.. Un-
derwood's speech in the morning pa
pers," said Mr.. Bryan. E'The criti-
cism to which he refers is contained
in an editorial which I wrotesmyself." u"
''The report on which the editorial
was based" continued Mr. Bryan,
appeared last week, after the House
caucus Of July 49,
81 am not sure Of the exact date,
but it was not earlier than Wednes-
day of last week and not later than
Saturday. The dispatch from Wash
ington said that Speaker Clark Of
fered a resolution modification or
substitute for a resolution-ir-
-trncting the ways and means COM
mittee to proceed with the prepara-
ton of other bills: The dispatch
stated that Mr.. Clark was supported
by a number of members, but that
Mr.. Underwood and Mr.. Fitzgerald
led fight against the resolution and
defeated it.

man Kitchin as insisting upon ia
Producing a bill reducing the tariff

Kitchin as calling attention to Mr..
Underwood's holdings in the steel
company and as expressing the fear

and steel, such failure might be at
tributed to Mr.. Underwood's inter-

Reports on the growing cotton crop
OF 1911 received by the Department
of Agriculture continue to indicate
that the yield this year will be one
of the greatest, if not the greatest in
the history Of the industry. The con-
ditions Of the crop on July 25, as an
uounced wednesday was S9.l OF
normal crop. This was $40 OF one
per cent higher than month ago.
and 81 per cent above the average on
July 25 for the past ten years.
Based on the average condition CT
the crop on July 25 for the past ten
wears and the average yield per acre
for the same period, condition report
ed Wednesday if 1t should continue,
would indicate a final total yield OF
207.25 pounds per acre, which upon
34.o00,oe0 acres, the estimated final
acreage, allowing for the abandon
ment of three per cent of the acreage
means total cotton crop Of 1898,
600 bales, of 500 pounds each. This
estimate is unofficial.

.sI know this is false, Mr.. Speaker,

we must let the country know it is

ing cheers. Speaker Clark repeated
ly pounding his gavel to restore or

Mr.. Kitchin confirmed Mr.. Under
woods statements in every respect,
and declared that Mr Bryan had
launched his criticism without hav-
ing any specific information as to
what the committee had done.
'tAfr. Underwood stated the facts
clearly to the caucus" said Mr.. Kit
chin. "He did state before the COM
mittee at the beginning Of the ses-
sion that he was interested in the
steel and iron business and it would
relieve him of embarrassment if the
committee would take up that sched-
Tile and get rid of it at once But 1t
was the judgment Of the committee
that the most ubiquitous schedule
that had ever been put on the stat
ute books the woolen schedule ought
first to be revised.
Mr.. Kitchin referred to Mr.. IN
derwood's frank statement about his
iron company's holdings and said he
had expected that might be made IAN
occasion by our opponents to slander
and libel the A1abaman and the po-
sition of his Democratic house, but I

PASSES THE HOUSE
BILL REDUCING DUTY ON GOODS
MADE OF COTTON.
Measure Received Every Democratic
Vote and the Votes Of Thirty In
surgent Republican Members.

Supported by all the Democrats
and by thirty Republicans, the Dem
ocratic tariff cotton bill, the third OF
the big tariff revision measures
brought forth by the Democratic
house of representatives, passed
that body early Thursday evening
by 202 to 81. The bill cuts the av-
erage tariff on cotton manufactured
goods from IS to 81 per cent. ad val
orem, a / per cent reduction in duty
that the Democratic leaders estimate
to reduce revenues by about s3,00o,-
900.
Not an amendment was offered to
the bill, although the Republicans
attacked it vigorously on account Of
alleged increases in certain items
over the rates Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law. Scarcely had the cheers
that greeted the passage of the cot
ton revision bill subsided when Dem
ocratic Leader Underwood calling
up the free list as it passed the sen
ate few days ago, accomplished a
stragetic move which greatly sur
prised the Republicans.
He asked for a conference on all
the amendments to the free list bill
except that of Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota putting cement on the
free list. He urged that the house
accept the amendment adding to it
lemons. Pacific coast Republicans
made Intellectual efforts to- stop
this sudden and unexpected putting
of lemons on the free list, but the
amendment carried. The change
gave the house Democrats what they
claimed to be an added advantage
in dealing with the senate in the
conference committee.
Thprsdey night the Republican
leaders in both houses Of congress
called in absent members from all
parts Of the country in preparation
for a threatened attempt OF the
Democrats to pass the wool tariff
bill over the Presidents veto. The
Democratic leaders in the house have
asserted within the last "a hours that
they have the necessary two-tbirds
majority to pass the wool bill over
the presidents veto and have been
doing effective missionary work in
the senate today The Republican
managers in the house insist that
they have enough votes to prevent
a two-thirds majority in support OF
the wool bill.

SIMON In EXILE
PRESIDENT OF HAITI SAVES BIS
NECK BY FLIGHT.
His Daughter Shot and Six Of his
Party Are Killed as the Deposed
Executive Embarks.

Revolution in Haiti has triumphed
once more, and few weeks of peace
may be enjoyed, while preparations
are being made for the next revolu-
ton. President Antoine Simon left
the Capital Wednesday and took ref

yacht American. With him are his
wife and number Of his followers.
On all sides Port on Prince, the
capital, and at which place President
Simon went on board the steamer is
invested by followers of Gen. Firmin,
one of the revolutionary leaders. The
city itself is in the hands Of COM
mittee of safety and there is no gen.
eral disorder.
The departure Of the aged Presi-
dent was not without disorder, how
ever, for as he was embarking at the
wharf there was a riot demonstra-
ton, in which the Ex-President's
chamberlain Deputy Prin, Of Jeremie,
and five other persons were killed.
and Clement:na Simon, his daughter,
and six other persons we're slightly
wounded.
President Simon left the palace at
four o'clock that afternoon, after he

the revolutionary army, commanded
by Gen. Peralle, had denied his re-
quest for three days In which to Sc
cure the safety Of the city.
The general Informed the French
and British ministers who went out
to parley with him, that owing to
recent summary executions by Sim
on's order, the President must leave
the Capital Immediately or otherwise
he would attack the city without
delay.
