fell in with a band Of insurrectos near

course of horrors. The rebels brought
a wounded man to him., presumably shot
shoulder gangrene had set in, saying
they also had two other wounded for him
to treat. The doctor had no Instruments
and could not operate He was forced to
attend to the man and operate on him
with a pocketknife.
The man died few days later and the
insurrectos told the doctor the others
were afraid he would poison them If he
treated them. and he was made prisoner
with his wife and ordered to pay 1000
raise only about $500, but was forced to
sign draft on some connections in the

Effect Of Seniority Rule.

1t is expected that the rule OF seniority
will be followed pretty strictly in the
making of democratic assignments. and
that means that the older senators. re-
CARELESS Of whether they are progressives
or not, will get most of the desirable
berths. 1t is reported, however. that John
Sharp Williams, by reason of The fact
that he was long a member Of the ways
and means committee of the House, and
was minority leader in the House, will
get a place on the finance committee.
Democratic chairmanships are expected
to be more numerous during the coming
session than last, because Of the fewer
number of republicans to take chairman
ships. Ten democrats had committee
chairmanships during the last session.
and 1t is expected the number will be
doubled this session. This means that
practically all of the older democratic
senators will be chairlnen.

Not Within Its Meaning.

Tho reply OF the American government
stated that its Interpretation Of the "most
favored nation clause did not bring the
reciprocity arrangement within its mean
ing.
The agreement with Canada, It was
found out, was in tho nature Of bar
gain. the United States lowering the tarifi
bars In return for similar concessions.
These privileges could be enjoyed by
other countries only through special ar
-rangements. In addition to this feature
OF the subject, II was pointed out by Of
ficials Of the State Department today.
that there are q number OF reciprocity
treaties existing between neighboring for
eign countries and the United States and
never before has favored nation treat
ment been claimed in this connection.
The department would not divulge the
name Of the European country which
had taken UP the question. The discus
sion Of the matter, 1t was said, was pure
ly academic in view OF the fact that the
Canadian agreement has not Jet become
a reality.
