President Roosevelt, in a telegram lo Major General Wood, congratulated him and his men on their, recent victory over the Moros on the island of Jolo, in which some nine hundred Moros and fifteen Americans were killed. The Senate now proposes to criticise , this message, claiming that the. victory was nothing more than a slaughter, that it is not an affair over which the President ought to feel protul. It is safe to say that President KooseveU does not feel jubilant over the death of nine hundred Moros,. . but U he to lie blamed for., feeling proud that four hundred American soldiers accomplished the death of these Moro brigands, in the face of what were, almost insurmountable odds? Did. the Senate hold an indignation meeting when Tracy, the bandit, was killed, and declare that "his death was a deplorable slaughter! No. Then why should they criticise President Roosevelt for congratulating American soldiers who have wiped out of existence a band of nine hundred outlaws, each one of whom was as bad as ten Tracys? Simply because the Senate is "sore" at the President' for the way in which he lias shown it up to be nothingmore or less, than a crowd of grafters, deliberately misrepresenting the people in favor of the railroads, , corporations, and other special interests. The Senate-envies and hates him for his popularity with the people whose champion and 'president he is, and would 'do everything in their power to dim his popularity. That is the true reason the Senate is criticising the President for congratulatng" " a little army of American soldiers, who have succeded in defeating and killing more than double their number of Moro outlaws.

WAR TO THE IK; HOUSE VS. StIJATE
. CANNON 'HAS HIS WAR PAINT ON AND HAS ISSUED A - 1 CALL TO ARMS. : i WILL PUT OH THE SCREWS '.'Whip", Watson, to Be, First Lieutenant in Fight That Is To -v . Ensue. Louis .Ludlow, writing from Washington, says: It is war to the knife between the house and senate, and Speaker Cannon and "Whip". 'Wat-1 son were in close consultation Sun- j day over the legislative program.! The speaker, has sounded a call to arms. The Senate has killed the J Philippine tariff bill pulled a lungout j of the statehood bill and is threatening to emasculate the railroad fate bill. V The speaker's "dander " is up." He takes the position that now is the time for the house to' assert' itself or else concede that the senate is the whole thing in the national, lawmaking body. The speaker andWhip Watson are planning to hold a caucus this week, probably on Thursday night, " to put 1 the' screws to the house insurgents who are threatening to break on the program to reject 5 the senate statehood amendments. , The speaker declared that not only will the statehood bill be sent , back to the senate with the emphatic disap proval of the house, but that the favorite' measures of the snators, the ship subsidy bill, shall die in the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries. There are lovely times ahead for the statesmen and Watson will be in the thick of the fray. The president has sent for Hill and he will go to the white house tomorrow morning for a conference. The legislature situation has taken a queer shape, the house and the president standing together as against the domination of the senate and hoping yet to have something out of "the wreek of j measures in which the people are interested. "FIIIF, THANKS. JOHNSTON" Washington, March 12. Among he wounded in the battle of Mt. Pajo, Jolo islands, was Lieut. Gordon Johnson, formerly a lieutenant in the President's regiment.

Supposing you want to multiply 53 by 84. First, multiply units , by units, thus: 4x3 are 12, set down the 2 and carry 1. .Multiply tens by units and units by tens, adding the 1 to carry to the first product, then add the two products together, thus: 4x5 are 20 and 1 to carry,' 21, and 8 x 3 are 24, and 21 and 24 are 45, set down the 5 and carry 4. Now multiply, the tens together and add the 4 you had to carry, thus: 8x5 are 40, and 4 makes 44. Set this amount down in the Answer, and you will have the correct result 4,452. . . . ; Up a Shot Tower. "It was a strange experience," said the huntsman. "As I ascended the spiral stairs of the tower . I saw shot falling, like rain, around me. The shot tower was 200 feet high. At its base there was a tank of water for the shot to drop into. If It fell on the earth, you know, it would be flat instead of round. On top of the tower was a huge boiler filled with molten lead. The manager ladled the lead into a percolator, a kind of strainer, and thence It fell Into the cistern of cold water 200 feet below. It took It three seconds to fall.
