sRIsToW AMENDMENT WAS LOST
BY A VOTE OF
as TO 43.

Washington.-The Senate by 81 to

constitution to provide for election OF
senators by direct popular vote.
The Bristow amendment giving to
the federal government supervision of
such elections was adopted. "A to A.
the vice president casting the deciding
ballot.
The House already has passed the
resolution.
Senator Reed Of Missouri protested
against the vice president casting his
deciding vote.
An amendment by Senator Bacon,
qualifying the Bristow amendmen. to
prohibit federal supervision Of election
unless the state Legislature refused or
failed to act. was defeated. 46 to 43.
The resolution as amended was then
finally adopted. Ga to "a.
Having determined to vote on the
resolution looking to the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
Of the people. the Senate devoted its
undivided attention to that subject
throughout the day and when night
fell was in such a maze Of speechmak-
ing that there was prospect for the
indefinite prolongation Of the session.
The debate began shortly after noon.
1t drifted into a political affair. Demo
cratic senators criticised Senator Bris-
tow's attitude. Mr.. ''Bristow framed
the principal amendment In the nature
OF substitute to the main prepara-
tion and he sought to continue the
supervision of the senatorial elections
in Congress-, instead OF delegating 1t
to the states, as proposed by the
House resolution.
The amended resolution now will go
into conference between the Senate
and House and some senators predict
that the House will refuse to accept
1t.
The resolution as amended and
passed follows:
THAT in lieu Of the first paragraph
OF section three of article one OF the
constitution of the United States. and
AL liSu VI 0o AuuSA "a pot o6t oPA WV
of the same section as relates to the
filling OF vacancies, the following be
proposed as an amendment to the con.
stitution, which shall be valid TO all
intents and purposes on the part OF the
constitution when ratified by the legis-
latures OF three-fourths of the states:
"The Senate of the United States
shall be composed OF two senators
from each state. elected by the peo-
pie thereof, for six years; and each
senator shall have one vote. The elec-
tors in each state shall have the quail
fications requisite for electors Of the
most numerous branch of the state
legislatures.
when vacancies happen in the rep
resentation Of any state in the SEN
ate. the executive authority Of such
state shall issue writs of election to
fill such vacancies; provided, that the
legislature Of any state may empower
he executive thereof to make tempo
:ary appointments until the people fill
the vacancies by election as the legis-
lature may direct
This amendment shall not be 50
construed as to-affect the election or
term OF any senator chosen before II
becomes valid as part Of the constitu.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. 16.-rhe course of to-
days stock market was DISAPPOINTING 10
those who looked for resumption OF
last weeks bullish activity. There was
evidence of considerable professional SELL
ing, presumably based upon the expecta-
ton of unfavorable news from Washine
ton as we'll as upon the general OUTLOOK
for trade. After a moderate selllnS
movement early in the day had run It's
course the market grew duh and spirit
less, quotations at the end of the day pc

The coalers were the strongest feature

being connected with the advance of the
former There was steady buying of the
Rock Island issues, which were strong
and active, and attention was directed to
the restriction of operating expenses of

railroads of the country for November
showed only minor decrease in gross
earnings, but a falling off of 1l.51 per
cent in net, the largest of the year. The
governments report of record-breaking
exports of steel and iron for 1910 was
of little advantage to United states steel
which was offered freely on each slight

The conditions of local national banks,

shows that loans have decreased approx
imately 100000 since last November
with decrease of s1140O0,0o0 in total de-

STERiLlZING MILK.
a Russian Chemist Claims to Ac-
compIish This Without Altering Its
Fernients.

\ solution Of the problem Of SteriliZ-
ing milk without altering ITS ferments
is CLAIMED by a Russian chemist. When
tine sterilization is brought about by
boling-Water temperatures, the milk Is
rendered inert by the decomposition of
its albuminoia bodies and their salts
and feeding infants with such milk is
regarded as the cause Of many deaths
Heating even to o. degrees G. if CON
tinued several minutes, destroys the
ferments and antitoxins. II is found
however, that heating to - degrees to
So degrees c. will give complete sterili-
ration in a few seconds. and that in
this short time the milk itself is not
altered. To effect this heating. the
milk is broken up into fine Globules by
forcing il into sterilized vessel by a
spray of steam or compressed air. It
is at once condensed. and is allowed
To drop into a receiver, where it is
cooled. The @erm-destroying action
on the sprayed drops in rapid and en-
ergetic. The air spray has no other
effect whatever but with steam spray
the milk becomes diluted about 10 to

POOR LAUNDRYMAN!
It Is q Wonder He Ever Gets Rich.

70 work IN newspaper makes one
eligible to the amen corner of the
Walling place, but such employment
is a floWery bed of ease compared
with running n laundry, for the unre-
liability Of the men who loses shirt
at Il laundry is monumental compared
with that of the man who makes a
mistake in giving an item to a news
paper.
1t is related that an Atchison wo-
man sent wornout tablecloth to a
laundry, and there came home one
that was a yard longer than hers, and
in good condition. She had con-
science and sent it back with the re-
quest that she be given her own, and
this time she got tablecfoth three
yards longer than her own, and of the
finest damask
Il have protested twice" said the
woman.
Keep the tablecloth," said the laun-
drynIan. Your conscience is caus-
ing HE as much trouble as a woman
causes me who hasn't one
This case was an exception. A
woman will send 5o-cent waist to
| the laundry. and it joins the mystic
rious disappearance syndicate, and is
heard of no more. She sends in a
bill for a s. shirtwaist, and the laun-
| dryman has to pay il.
Nothing is ever missing that is val
| ueiess. Always the article that failed
| to come home is the finest and per-
fectly new, and the laundrynan has
| to pay the bill. \ laundryman Who
| has 30 Wcmen patrons buys at least
| 80 shirtwaists a year in this way. and
| the men With missing socks, shirts
| collars, etc, are as costly as the We
| men. Occasionally there is a patient
| patron who wears one blue sock and
one tan sock for weeks until the lost
| are found and restored to their mates,
| but he is rare exception. When a
! woman loses anything she is convinc-
| ed that some girl in the laundry is
wearing it, and it is told that one
woman in town who lost n shirtwaist
| in the wash hung around the laundry
doors at Diminishing time every night
