But So Is the Fiat of the Secretary of

Agriculture.

Speaker Cannon Takes an Unusual

Activity in the Matter-Points Where the Bill Has Been Changed.

Washington, June 19.-The basis of

a complete agreement on the meat in-

spection legislation between President

Roosevelt and the house committee on agriculture has been arrived at

through a conference at the White

House. Speaker Cannon represented

the committee in this instance, and sub

sequently spent some time explaining the situation to the committee in its room at the Capitol. The bill was praccompleted when the committee adjourned.

Court Review Is Eliminated. It will authorize an annual appro

priation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of inspection, and will contain no pro

vision for the levy of an assessment

to make up any deficiency in the amount available for this work, as sugby Cowan, representing the Texas cattle growers, and later urged

by the president. The court review provision will not be contained in the measure. This action meets the sugof the president. The words "in the judgment of the secretary of agriwill not be inserted as sug

gested by the president, and this con

clusion now meets Roosevelt's ap-

Date on the Label Goes Out. The section waiving the civil serv

ice law for one year in the selection

of inspectors will go out of the pro

vision, also one of the president's rec

ommendations. With these changes

made the president has indicated his entire satisfaction with the measure. There is to be no date on the label of the packing of the meat food product.

In this the president yields to the com

mittee. The language which gives in

spectors the right to the packing plants at all times is amplified by the words

"whether the same be in operation or

not."

Guarantee of Rights "Goes." The guarantee of the constitution to

every man to have his grievances

heard before a court was presented to the president forcefully as to why

the decision of the secretary of agrishould not be made final, as would be the case should the words

"in the discretion of the secretary of

agriculture" be inserted throughout the

measure. In this argument, it is said, the president acquiesced on the ground

of it containing a fundamental princi

pal of guaranteed rights.

Why Cannon Was Active. Ordiarily Speaker Cannon does not

take such active part in legislation as he has in the present instance. It has

been explained, however, that he rethe passage of an adequate meat inspection bill with all possible speed

as vitally essential to the welfare of many important industries throughout the country.

been misled by irresponsible Chicago men. and declared that the South Carolina senator's "tirade" had proved another illustration of the fact that "a little learning is a dangerous thing." He declared that the transactions in Chicago had been entirely straightand honorable. He said that Eckels had informed him that not only depositors and stockholders would be fully paid, but that several millions in addition could be saved, and defendWalsh as for many years one of the great bankers of the country. He had not investigated the question as to whether Walsh had violated the crimlaw, but he knew that Walsh has stood ready right along to meet any such charges.

ROAST FOR THE STATESMEN

President Gompers Again Objects to Delay in Labor Legislation. Washington, June 19.-The executive council of the American Federation of Labor convened here for a several day's session, and President Gompers reported on pending legislation, saying

that the eight-hour bill was ordered to be reported by the committee on labor of the house "by a temporary majority of the minority members of the comand that the bill had not yet been reported. He calls attention "to the subterfuge" conducted by the jucommittee of the house regardthe bill to define and limit the isof injunctions, and to the effort of Littlefield, "to abolish the pilotage system." Gompers reported regarding the "bill of grievances" to President RoosePresident Pro Tem. Frye and Speaker Cannon that the enactment of labor legislation was hindered by the domination of the house of representathrough its speaker and the makeof the committees of the house, as well as the permanent rules and those that are brought in to accomplish tempurposes. He called attention to the course pursued by the governors of Idaho and Colorado, and to what he termed "the unwarrantable and brutal manner of kidnaping Moyer, Haywood and Pettiof the Western Federation of

Miners.

Senate and House in Brief. Washington, June 19.-After anothday devoted largely to the Lake Erie and Ohio river canal bill the senpassed that measure with only eleven votes in the negative. In adseveral bills to which there was no objection and which are of no gen

eral interest, received favorable ac

tion. A bill was passed, giving a pension of $50 per month to General E. S

Bragg, of Wisconsin. An executive

session was held.

The house met, recommitted the agribill with the beef inspection

amendment to the agricultural commit

tee, heard the announcement of the

death of Representative Lester, of Georgia, and adjourned as a mark of

respect to his memory.

ing of certain constellations just bethe sun, known to astronomers as their heliacal rising. Many antemples are found to be oriented to the point of the horizon, which marks the heliacal rising of the Pleion a May morning. The natives of Borneo are using the rising of the same constellation as a guide to the proper time to prepare their ground to grow their food supWhen the dry season is perceivto be approaching two men are sent out into the jungle to observe. There they watch, perhaps a few nights, pera month, until the Pleiades are seen on the horizon just before the insunlight causes the stars to fade. Then they return to the village and announce the fact. The inhabitnow know that work on the formust be commenced. If by any means they have missed the heliacal rising of the Pleiades and have delayoperations till Orion's belt is seen rising just before the sun, they know that they must work double shift. The ground being cleared, they then wait till the Pleiades are at the zenith at sunrise before they set fire to the rubThe above is the method adopted by the Dyaks. Other neighboring tribes, the Kenyahs and Kayans, make use of the length of the shadow cast by a stick at noon to determine their seaSituated as they are between the tropics, the shadow is cast on the north or south of the stick, according to the time of year. The length of the

shadow also varies as the sun passes from Cancer to Capricorn and back. The shadow is measured by means of

notched stick. The notches repre

sent the lengths of shadow which exhas shown to correspond with favorable times for their various agrioperations.

The Samoans, on the other hand, fix

their seasons by the appearance of a curious marine worm, which they call

the palolo. The vai palolo, or time of the palolo, is the name of one of their

seasons, as spring is one of ours. This strange worm lives in the interstices of the coral reefs and at certain seamakes its appearance in the open sea in immense numbers. It is eagerly gathered and eaten by the natives.

If the swarm appears, say, at 3

o'clock in the morning, it has totally disappeared by 9 o'clock. Both male

and female worms break up into infragments, and the eggs are

fertilized in the water. The coming of the palolo is regulated by the moon, and yet, strange to say, in the long run it keeps solar time. If the dates of its

appearances were separated by twelve

lunar months, then, reckoning by the

day of the mouth, it would be eleven

days earlier each year. On the other hand, if it came every thirteen months

it would be eighteen days later each year. This is rectified by having in every cycle of three years one interval of thirteen and two of twelve months.

Finally by the addition of an extra inof thirteen months in a cycle of

twenty-nine years the error is less than one day in a century.

That Is the Situation of the Rate Bill Conference Committee. Washington, June 19.-That the concommittee of the two houses of congress on the railroad rate bill has all that it wants to do was announced in the senate by Tillman. The statewas elicited by a remark made by Foraker in speaking of a number of telegraphic protests he had received against the retention of the senate amendment making common carriers of pipe lines. He asked that the telebe referred to the conferrees, remarking that he had made an effort

to personally present them to the conbut that he had been denied admission to their "august presence." Tillman construed this as "a sarcasallusion." and made the explanation that the conferrees. finding their prestroubles sufficient, had been comto shut the doors against argu

ments from these who are not memof the committee. "We listened for four days in the senate," he said, "and don't feel disposed to add to our misery. We will accept the telegrams, but don't want the arguments."

Nominated by the President.

Washington, June 18.-The president has sent to the senate the nominations

as ambassador to Turkey, of John G. A Leishman, of Pennsylvania, and as sur

veyor of customs of Frank B. Posey,

Typographical Slips. Mistakes in punctuation have often

led to ridiculous blunders. Some time ago in an article telling of the opening of a new hospital in New York the writer was made to state that "an ex

tensive view is presented from the fourth story of the Hudson river." The omission of a comma in a paper announcing the death of a famous man made the sentence read, "His remains were committed to that bourne whence no traveler returns attended by his friends." The reputation of Dr. Pond, an emitheologian, was nearly ruined back in the fifties of the last century by a typographical error.

How Animals Bear Pain. Take horses, for instance, in battle.

After the first shock of wound they make no sound. They bear the pain with a mute, wondering endurance, and if at night you hear a wild groan from the battlefield it comes from their loneliness, their loss of that hucompanionship which seems absoindispensable to the comfort of domesticated animals.
