Take Credit From Ericsson.

The Patriotic Association of Amer
of half a century letters, contracts and
other documents were found which
prove that Theodore r. Timby, a native
of New York state, invented the revolv-
ing turret first used by the Monitor
in its battle with the Merrimac, and
as result revolutionized warship con-
struction. John Ericsson has always
been regarded as the inventor, and has
been mentioned as such in history. The
association has issued call for a
mass meeting to be held in Brooklyn,
N. Y, for the purpose of rescuing the
body of the hitherto unrecognized in
ventor, Timby, from Potter's field,
and providing for burial with beft-
ting honors in Washington.
'The body of John Ericsson, of
whom school text books speak as the
builder of the Monitor, the man who
revolutionized naval warfare, was car
ried back to Sweden, his native land
on an American battleship," said G. F.
Molly of New York, secretary of the
association. "But the proof which has

DEAD BODIES LEFT UNBURIED
/ ALONG MANY ROADS
FOR LONG time.
Worst Scenes Were Where Dogs De-
voured the Bodies-No Attempt at
Giving Protection to Passersby-Red
Cross Makes Urgent Appeal to Our
People for Provisions and Money.

Arrivals by the steamer Monteagle
at Victoria b. c., brought stories of
eyewitnesses telling of terrors of the
plague. The scenes described show how
the epidemic is spreading.
In Puchatien, the Chinese section of
Hardin, seyen dead bodies lay on the
ground, surrounded byou gaping crowd
of thirty or forty Chinese. A few
steps further on they passed four dead
bodies in the open road on either side.
Further on a dead Chinese was ruth
lessly thrown out of a shop and left on
the public road. A Chinese policeman,
asked why lie did not take measures
to remove the body, said it was none
of his business. On the way to the
steamer the party counted SO bodies
in hastily dug graves or in the open.
Two Russian members or the Hardin
city council, sent to verify the report
that dead bodies were being thrown
into the Sungari river, reported that on
landing from the boat at the Chinese
customs house, they saw open graves
with limbs protruding from them.
There was no indications that any dis
infectants had been used.
The worst scenes encountered were
on a small island where many dogs
were devouring the bodies. A number
of roughly dug graves had been torn
open by dogs. The island is very
low and in the spring is often sub
merged by the rising river. In these
circumstances, unless the carcasses are
removed, they will be carried down the
stream when the river rises. A Chinese
informed the visitors that a number
of bodies had already been carried
away by the river.
On the mainland bodies were being
removed from houses and carried along
the streets in carts without any at
tempt to protect passersby, and the
streets were thronged as usual. Many
scenes too revolving TO relate were en-
countered by the travellers.

If SENATE FAILS To ACT ON
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
this MONTH.
President Taft Is Firm In His Demand
That They Act Immediately-Few
Senators Think Action Will Be Taken
This Session Opponents of Reciproc-
ity Satisfied Business Will Prevent.

The first authoritative announcement
session if the senate fails to act on the
Mccall bill, carrying into effect the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, came
Sunday from Mr.. Mccall himself after
a visit to the White House. According
to Mr.. Mccall, the president feels he is
under an international obligation to
summon an extra session, if necessary,
to secure action on the reciprocity
agreement.
That session would be called immedia-
ately after the adjoinment of this con-
gress at noon, March 4. While it is
evidently the desire of the president to
avoid an extra session by inducing SEN
ators to act upon the agreement, it is
the opinion of many that the statement
has come too late
Few senators predict that action will
be taken at this session, though some
insist there will be vote.
With appropriation bills in longest
ed condition, with the Lorimer case
pressing for consideration, the general
service pension bill being urged by
many senators, and the resolution for
the popular election of senators coming
up daily as the unfinished business, it
seems the chances for action on the
reciprocity agreement are slight.
There is some prospect that the Lori
sner case may be disposed of this week,
following a speech which Senator Lor-
inner will make in his own behalf; but
there is no apparent likelihood of early
votes on any of the other important
measures.
Foes of Reciprocity Complacent.
Opponents of reciprocity in the senate
are viewing with complacency, not to
say satisfaction, the congested condi-
tons.
The demands for the house business
are such that vote on reciprocity can
be averted easily without the appear
ance of filibuster.
out of the finance committee before
Thursday, at the earliest.
At that time there will remain only
seven and a half Legislative days of this
congress.
Mr.. Mccall also made the announce
ment that the president would veto
any tariff legislation passed by the
democratic house and approved by a
nearly democratic senate, if that should
be necessary to maintain the republican
party's protective principles.

Praises Lewiston Normal.

The joint committee of the senate

as result accorded high praise to the
Lewiston State normal. They found
that under the efficient supervision of
George H. Black, president, the school
has obtained high standing, its gradu-
ates being placed on level with those
of normal schools in other schools, that
the total number of students doing
normal work with the intention of be-
coming teachers to be 277, with 80 ad-
ditional students doing special work /;
of these 277 students, Ill, or 40 per
cent, gave Lewiston as their home,
lis, or approximately AZ per cent, re-
side in the state outside of Lewiston.
and 81, or IS per cent, came from other

alton for the Lewiston State normal
school of $1OO,6OO,OO for the biennium.
