Sea Serpents Numerous.

There are plenty of sea serpents,
and Of all snakes they are the most
venomous. In tropical waters they ARE
vastly numerous, especially in the In.
dian ocean, where they are often seen
literally by hundreds, swimming at the
surface OF the water. They are six
to eight feet long, very fierce and will
commonly attack human beings. Their
bodies are fiat, and almost wholly filled
by the lungs.

STATE DEPARTMENT
REBUKES BRITISH ENVOY
Breach of Courtesy Seen in Note
Sent to a Senate Com
nittee.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The State de-
partment interviewed in what threat
ened to be q controversy between the
British embassy and the senate COM
mittee Investigating cable commun;ca-
tons over the question of whether
there was a British censorship of
cable messages to the United States
originating in the British isles.
The departments action was regard
ed as a rebuke to the embassy for
sending direct to Senator Kellogg,
chairman Of the committee, a letter
denying the testimony of Newcomb
Carlton, president, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, that cable
messages coming to the United States
from Great Britain were subject to
delay and examination by the British
naval intelligence authorities.
The embassy's action is understood
to be regarded by the department as
a breach of diplomatic courtesy. The
department will take the subject mat
ter of the correspondence up directly
with the embassy, but whether it will
ask for an explanation of the action
of the embassy in writing directly to
the senate has not yet been indi-
Gated.

FORDNEY TARIFF BILL
Is PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Would Establish Practically
Prohibitory Duties for Ten Months
Goes to Senate.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The house
passed the FOrdney emergency tariff
bill, designed to relieve American agrl-
cultural and live stock industries from
the present price depression by estab-
fishing virtually prohibitory customs
duties for ten months. The vote was
1876 to Sc.
A political analysis of the vote
showed 154 Republicans for the bill
and IA against; Al Democrats for and
Y against; one Prohibitionist, Randall
of California, voted for the bill.
Five voted present The bill now
goes to the senate, where Republican
leaders on the finance committee have
promised to expedite it's consideration,
while Democrats plan to exert every
effort to block its passage. WHAT
President Wilson Will do with the bill
is prOblematical. Some Of the Demo-
cratic leaders expect him to veto it.
The bill was passed by the house in
the same form as il was reported out
by the ways and means committee. All
efforts to amend were rejected by over
Whelming votes.
Party lines were obliterated. Lead
ing the Democrats who supported the
bill was Representative Garner OF
Texas, who VIII be ranking minority
member of the ways and means COM
mittee in the next congress. Represen-
tatives Madden Of Illinois, Bacharech,
New Jersey, a member Of the ways and
means committee, and Smell Of New
York were prominent among the Re-
publicans opposing the bill.
Representative Treadway Of Massa-
chusetts, another Republican member
of the ways and means committee, at
tackled the legislation, but said he
would give the farmer the benefit Of
the doubt and vote for it.

Mr. Cottrell goes on to say that
the visit to the College of Agricul-
ture here was especially instructive
because practically all the work that
is being carried on is adaptable to
Arkansas. He says this is not true
of the Iowa College of Agriculture
at Ames.
Especially interesting to US was
the fact that the Missouri college
started with almost nothing and it
has never had large appropriations.
But it has had highly efficient men
in charge Of its affairs and is now
recognized as one Of the greatest ag-
