sci Fees.

Baltimore. Md. Feb. % - 1t was
learned here that a compromise agree
ment has been signed in New York

much" he said, that there has been
consummated an arrangement by
which DR.. McKim has agreed to end
all existing and possible litigation rel
alive to the alleged alienation OF his

The agreement reached was the re-
suit OF a series Of conferences that

A DEAD TURKEY WORTH $500

able in the South is dead. The forty
seven-pound gobbler, the property Of
Editor r. L. Blanton, of the Virginia
journal of Education, became involved
in q wire fence during heated argu-
ment he was having with an enemy OF
his race, and hung himself.
However, he is worth more dead,
perhaps. than living. Although Pro
lessor Blanton has repeatedly refused
$50 for him, his death may turn out
to be blessing in disguise. The body
was sent to the Smithsonian Institution,
where taxidermist has reported him
to be the finest ever seen there and ex-

WHAT CONGRESS MUST
DISPOSE OF IN A FEW DAYS

The Senate must still vote on the Ca
madam Reciprocity agreement, the
Lorimer case, the resolution for direct
election of Senators, the permanent
tariff commission, increase $45, 1000, 600
in pension expenditures, apportionment
of members of Congress under the new
census, fortifcstion of the Panama Ca
nal.
Not one of the big Appropriation
bills has yet become q law. The Dis
trict of Columbia, Rivers and Harbors,
Army, Indian, and the legislative, exc
cutive and judicial bills have passed
both houses and are in conference. The
Postofiice, Pension and Agricultural
bills have passed the House, but not
the Senate. Neither house has yet
passed the Naval, Military Academy,
Fort.ications, Diplomatic and Consular,
Sundry Civil or General Deficiency bills.
The congestion of legislation seems
likely to necessitate an extra session of
