Washington, March 2s,-The possibility

Mr. Chandler, a New York Progressive,
made an epigrammstic speech to-day
against the repeal bill.

said. II am for Americans and not Eng

troversy Is local, not foreign, national,
not International Better a thousand

lived down a dozen broken treaties. but

Rule Covers War Vessels.

AN overpowering conviction that the
proposed repeal is weighted with evil. of
farreaching extent 10 the country. COM
pels me 10 oppose the pending measure"
Mr.. Fitzgerald also said. THE contention
Of Great Britain is that her vessels Of
commerce are entitled to the same or
Identical treatment as vessels Of the
United States. The rule. however, covers
vessels Of war as well as vessels OF COM
merce. No demand has yet been made re-
garding vessels OF war The rule is equal
~ applicable to vessels Of both classes,
and if ii be conceded that we cannot diff
ferentiate American vessels of commerce
from similar vessels of other nations it
follows that vessels of war cannot be de-
prived of privileges similar TO those &C
corded to war vessels Of the United
States"
Representative Harrison, Democrat, OF
Mississippi, was one OF the early speakers
when the debate was resumed. Although
admitting his anxiety to follow the Pres

Harrison said he could not reconcile his
conscience to the Presidents view and
surrender to Great Britain a principle OF
national honor and integrity.

ground that it was surrender Of sover-

ground that it would benefit none but

another to the many English things 1t

The only noteworthy tilt in the debate
today came when Mr. Manahan, OF Min
nesota, interrupted MIR. Stevens. Of the
same state. with query concerning the
interest OF the Hin railroads in the repeal
Mr. Manahan broadly intimated that
these railroads were largely responsible
for the repeal propagandum, and the
charge was Indignantly refuted by Mr..
Stevens, who asserted that he favored re-
peal on the question Of treaty obligations
and economic grounds.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in closing speech
which was praised even by colleagues VINO
disagreed with him, announced his inabil-
ity to agree with the President, saying:
IF the question were merely one OF ex-
pediency, or If i were in doubt as to the
course to be followed, and the reasons
given for the action proposed were so
persuasive as to command practically uni
versal approval, l should gladly subordi-
nate any personal opinion and acquiesc ;
in the recommendation Of the President.
But such is not the situation. I believe
that tie questions involved are funda-
mental and vitality affect our right TO
control our own affairs, and that they
concern the material welfare OF the coun-

Mysterious Affection

Dear Strive have a number OF
White Plymouth Rock laying hens,
that have a trouble we have never
heard or read of. and would like To
have you give us some light.
Symptoms A yellowish matter
forms around vent which becomes
sticky and somewhat scaly and hard
as il grows older and the rear quart
ers of the hens become filthy, the odor
being horrible. We wash the fowls
every few days with soap and water
and apply carbolated vaseline. Some
seem to get well in week or two and
some hang on indefinitely, but none
of them appear sick. They all have
bright, red combs and and wattles
and rae good layers. yet if we did not
doctor them as we do they would
prabably die.
Ans. Your birds have bowel
trouble, give one grain calomel fol-
lowed by good dose Of EPSON salts
i'm their drinking water. This will
clean them pretty thoroughly. See
they have no other water to drink
while treating them as advised above
A few drop OF nux vomica in pint of
water will make an excellent tonic for
your birds.

SIMPLE FARM HYGIENE

Colts. Feet Need Attention--Poor
feet and legs found upon the majority
of horses are due directly TO the lack of
proper care OF the colts feet. To
neglect to see that the foot grows out
evenly is TO contribute to a poor set
of legs. which influence directly the
efficenicy of the horse when used
later. AS the colt grows IL may throw
more weight on one side of it's feet
than the other causing that side 10

balanced condition Nature in her
attempt 10 overcome this causes the
bones OF the legs TO adjust themselves

placed and developed legs. Then the
added weight 10 one side may cause
the uneven development OF the hoof.
The ideal foot is one that is large and
round, with the wall at the quarters
sloping the same on the inside as the
outside, and the heels wide.

one-quarter grain of quinine, grains
