EXTRA SESSION
This Country Apprised That Canada
Will Not Consent to Allow the
Question of Ratification to
Drag.

Washington, Feb. THAT the Cam
adam government will not consent to
allow the question Of ratification OF the
reciprocity agreement to drag along in
definitely is an intmation which has
been conveyed to Washington Good
reason exists for the belief that this
country has been appraised of the atti-
tude of the Canadian government.
President Taft is believed to be aware
of it.
The fact is important in its bearing on
the extra session talk While the ques.
ton of an extra session continues I'M
settled and the subject Of conflicting ru-
mors, there is no question OF the adj
ministration's anxiety to have the reci-
procity agreement crowded through Con-

eminent that there be no undue delay
is regarded here as likely to turn the
scales in favor of an early extra SEES

ford of East Highgate, Vermont, of o
tread-tire attachment for the prevention
of "skidding' by automobiles on muddy
or slippery highways. The purpose Of
the invention has been practically ae-
eomplished in the perfection Of an at
taehment to pneumatic and elastic tires
for preventing the wheels from skid
ding or slipping when rounding curve
or corner, or when attempting TO climb
an incline covered with ice or snow
or both. In the perfection Of the in
vention a simple and practical anti-ski1
attachment has been devised, which "
its utility under any and all condi-
tons and circumstances is almost in.
dispensahle for the reason that it not
only prevents the car from skidding and
thereby endangering the lives OF the oc-
enpants and threatens disaster to the
machine, but it is q preserver of the
tire as well as protects it from the
severe and oftentimes destructive wear
incident to such abusive strains as is
upon a car when undergoing j
heavy skid" under adverse conditions.
From the above sketch of the device
it can readily be seen how feasible AMI
the invention becomes when
adjusted to the tire and how well adapt
ed its use is made to meet all condi-
tions. It is simple in its conception and
substantial, yet inexpensive in its con-
struction. The cost is so Insignificant
in comparison with its economical en-
ployment as to not only put it within
the reach of the owner of car OF mod
est means, but becomes indispensable to

HARDIN PLAGUE DEAD 5000.
Mortality Among the Physicians and the
Nurses Is High.

Hardin, Manchuria Feb. ALREADY
nearly 5000 bodies Of victims Of the
plague have been burned or buried in
the outskirts OF Hardin. Forty-eight
hundred of these came from the Chinese
town and thousand from the Russian
quarter. Saturday sixteen stacks of
collins and seven pits, piled with bodies
and oiled logs blazed outside the town.
The mortality among the physicians and
the hospital attendants Is high, con-
sidering the means taken for their pro-
lection, and doctors, nurses and orderlies
are succumbing TO the disease. The san
itary authorities hope soon to test Sc
rum OF their own manufacture from the
Manchurian bacilli, as the foreign i'm
portations have proved ineffective.
The happenings in Europe in the sew
enteenth century. when the BLACK
death" swept through the country, are
being repeated here. Fears bordering on
panic have gripped the Chinese. At first
they defled the medical officers and kept
their sick and dead hidden for the pur-
pose Of carrying out the ancient flu
neral rites. Now it is brother against
brother, father against son. The strick-
en- ones are forced into the streets, to
starve or freeze, or 10 fall perlshing
from the swift and deadly attack the
Plague makes upon its victims. Pas
sersby avoid them, but sometimes those
engaged in sanitary work, masked arc
bandaged, reach them before they die
and cart them to the pes house, or if
they are dead, to the funeral pyres.
Not infrequently an outeast is to be
seen, kneeling and making his last
obeisance before the grave Of an ances-
tor, in sight Of a pile Of bodies, Of which
he is soon to become one.
