Horse-Lovinq xenophon.


We may breed different types of
horses, and we may harness and use
them differently; but the points Of
excellence that combine to form the
most perfect horse are no different in
one age than another. XenOphon, it
is true, attached some Importance to
points that we care much less about
now-as, for instance, smooth,
round back that is easy to sit upon,
which was owing to the fact that the
Greeks did not use saddles, but only
a cloth, fastened to the horses body
by surcingle; but these are minor
matters. He knew the points of a
good horse, and he knew horse ma
ture. And he had, too, that delight
in horses that is found only in the
true horseman, the man who loves as
well as knows them. "It is upon
horses" says he, "that gods and
heroes are painted riding; and men
who are able to manage them skill
fully are regarded as deserving of ad-
miration. So extremely beautiful and
admirable and noble a sight is a
horse that bears himself superbly
that he fills the gaze of all who see
him, both young and old; no one, in
deed, leaves him or is tired of con-
templating him as long as he contin-
ues to display his magnificent atti-
tudes. From the Atlantic.

ShipbuiIdinq in China.

According to a Shanghai telegram,
the Chinese government accepted the
bid of the Kiangnan arsenal for the
construction of four warships at about
100000 taels. The arsenal, under
control Of Liang-Kiang, viceroy, en-
cages principally in the manufacture
of arms. Although 1t has equipment
for shipbuilding, it has not turned
out any warships in the history of its
existence for the last twenty-odd
years, its experience so far having
only consisted in putting together
gunboats that wer built in foreign
countries.
Again, at the Mamel dockyard at
Fukien one gunboat was constructed
in 1899 and another in the following
year, which were completed IN 1902.
But they were small ships, each hav.
ing the displacement of SCI tons. The
present order consists of two gun.
boats with the displacement of 1000
tons each and two smaller river gun.
boats. Inasmuch as the Mamei dock
yard is under the management OF
French people, this is the first time
that China has ever attempted to
build her own warships at her own
dockyard.

Colorado Crop Best Ever.

Denver.-The value of the crop
which will be harvested in this state
during the rest of the summer and the
fall has been estimated at S200,000,OOO.
This is the most valuable crop that
has ever been ready to gather in this
state and a determined effort will be
made to keep this money within the
state as far as possible. Colorado is
not the only state that faces the best
year in its history. All through the
United States come reports of fine

UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO THE
FATE OF SOME OF THE AP-
PRoPRIATIoN BILLS.
sst.rn Newspaper Union New, Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Frie of the Pan
ANA canal bill have unearthed plot
to defeat the free tolls section of the
anti-railroad section by having the
bill postponed until next session. Con-
gress is rapidly shaping for adjourn
ment and yet the canal bill is hang
ing fire in the Senate, with no early
prospect of agreement.
Senator Brandcgee, in charge of the
bill, is not pressing its passage.
Bristow of Kansas said he thought
an amendment was being made to kill
the bill by postponing. and that he did
= not intend to permit it. The railroad
interests are working hard for post
ponement.
Senator Brandegee is openly hostile
to the railroad provisions contained IN
the bill (which he himself reported
from the committee.
On the House side, Chairman Ad-
amson is likely hostile to both the free
toll and railroad provisions being
forced in the House by Congressman
Knowland of California and others.
who Joined him in the minority report.
Friends OF the toll and railroad pro-
visions of the Senate led by Senators
Bristow of Kansas, O'Gorman Of New
York, Townsend of Michigan, La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin and practically all
the coast senators, do not propose to
see this measure killed.
Realizing they are defeated. the rail-
road interests hope to profit by delay.
and are planning to get busy on the
Pacific coast to change public senti-
ment. The plan has gone SO far as
to include an attempt to defeat GER
tain members of Congress who have
been particularly active in the fight.
Congress has begun what is expect
ed to be the last fortnight of the pres
ent session.
Adjournment by August 18th or 18th
is confidently expected. The postpone
ment of the Archibald Impeachment
trial until December 3rd has cleared
the decks of the Senate so action on
remaining legislative matters can be
pushed to a speedy finish.
Uncertainty exists as to the fate of
some of the appropriation bills. The
determination to abolish the Com
merce Court and to place a seven-year
tenure of office in the civil service
law has aroused antagonism which
may be reflected from the White
House in a veto of the bill appropri-
ating money for the salaries of fed
eral employees.
This contingency has been antio.-
pated by the leaders of both houses.
and an effort is 10 be made to conf
plete the legislative. executive. judi
cial appropriation bill. so it may be
sent at once to the President. In case
of an executive veto it is believed 1t
can again be passed and resubmitted
to him in an amended form without
seriously delaying plans for adjourn
ment.
1t has been asserted by the Presi-
dens's friends in both houses that he
will veto all the tariff bills that reach
him. Such action would be accept I'D
as final by Congress and no attempt
would be made at this session to re
pass the measures.
Action on tariff bills and reopening
of the two battleships fight in the
House will be features of this week s
session.
