Senator Lodge Makes Speech in Senate Defending Action of the President. THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR THAT THE SENATE IS TIRING OF FORAKER'S CAMPAIGN SHOWN BY SPEECH OF TOR HEYBURN. WAS SENA Publishers Tress. Tvascmton, Jan. 7. In the senate Senator Lodge called up the P'oraker resolution to discuss the amendment ie offered to the Foraker resolution, which amendment recognizes the con stitutional and legal authority of the president to take the action he did in discharging negro troops. Senator For aker deprecated delay in consideration of the resolution. henator Culberson offered an amendment to the resolution which Senator Foraker accepted, authorizing the military committee to visit Brownsville, Texas, and take test! roony there. Mr. Foraker then asked unanimous consent of the senate that the resolution bo made a special order dally after morning business, until disposed of. To this Senator Heyburn objected, saying there were other matters of equal if not greater im portance demanding consideration. Senator. Lodge of Massachusetts, discussing the Brownsville incident. said In the- annate:- "Two -questions are here-Involved a -question of fact and" a question of law. They are entirely distinct, they ought to be settled separately, and neither should be permitted to cloud or obscure the public mind.- The question of fact may be stated in this way. There was shooting on the streets of Brownsville the night of August 13, 1906, and houses were fired Into, one man was killed, and the lieutenant of police had his horse shot from under him and was s severely wounded In the arm that 'amputation was necessary. The shooting was done either by United States soldiers from" " Fort Brown, or by inhabitants of the town of Brownsville. The president, the secretary of war and the officers of the army detailed to Inquire into the affair have decided the shooting was done by soldiers, and furnish testimony to sustain their opinion. The Constitution league, representing the aoldiers, deny that the shooting was done by them, nnd assert that it was dene by citizens of Brownsville disguised in ca3t-cff uniforms of the troops, arni provided with exploded shells frorii the government range, who cc'ranttrd this for the purpose of casting cdlom on troops of Fort Brown. One of these two propsitlons must be proved. The question of law is whether th pres'.rTpTit dismissing thcsQ companies wllhbut honor. exceeded h!3 powers under the law and constitution. The constitution makes the president - commander-in-chief of the army and navy of tho "United States, and 'congress is given , authority to' make rules for the government an-5 regulation of the land and naval forces. Th commander-in-chief has. as such, the right inher ent In hrs office to punish or discharge except so far as it Is limited or regulated by the law making power which has enacted the articles of war. The dishnorable discharge can only he given by sentence cf a court martial; the honorable discharge can, of course, be Riven by the commanding officer, but there is another discharge now described as the 'discharge without honor, which is limited to the action of a court martial, and which comes with the direction of the president, the secretary of war. and the commanding officer. There can be no doubt whatever that the power of summary d!smissal was inherent in the office cf the commander-ln chief, when the president was Invested by the constitution with that office, and there has never been any attempt on the part of congress to prevent or interfere with the exercise of this authority. If the commander-in-chief is unable to dismiss from the army the soldiers whom he regards as dangerens to the service and to military discipline without furnishing proof which would convict to a jury, military discipline would be at an end, and the army of the United States would become a menace to the people of the country. The law, the constitution, the statutes and uniform practice are so clear as to the right of the president to terminate the contract of enlistment and discharge soldiers at pleasure, that it seems a waste of words to any one who has read the statutes to argue it at all." As a substitute for the Foraker resolution and the Lodge amendment thereto. Senator Knox prepared a resolution to leave to the committee on military affairs the questln of deciding whether the president has authority to issue the order discharging negro troops, as well as to inquire into the disturbance at Brownsville, Texas. It Is not believed that Senator Foraker will consent to the adoption of this resolution with a substitute for his own. Records Destroyed. Peoria, 111., Jan. 7.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Special Correspondence.! The estimated true value of ren! property and improvements In the District of Columbia averages $21,C20.!4 an acre, and for each man. woman and child In the District of Columbia there 19 $2,785.59. The figures are fresh from the statistic makers of the census bureau. A little pamphlet has Just been Issued from that interesting governmental bureau purporting to show the "estimated true value of property" in eac!i of the several states and territories for the years 1900 and 1904. It permits a comparative study that i3 regarded as remarkable In its results. Valuation of the Dlnlrlct. For Instance, the great state of New York, worth about $10,000,000,000. brings only $300 an acre when averaged by the census bureau experts. In the Empire State tbe men. women and children are accredited with only $1,157.36 eacb, a per capita wealth less than half that of the national capital. Maryland is put down as worth "In real property and improvements" just $J04,4f,735, all of which necessarily includes the city of Baltimore. The District of Columbia is valued at $8G0,244,002, almost as much as the entire state of Maryland, with only 38.400 acres as aaainst &3G2.240 acres in Maryland. Nontaxable Property. The entire "continental United States," according to the report, was worth in real property in 1904 only $02,341,492,134, which, however, Is an increase of $10,000,000,000 over ' tbe valuation given for 1900. Of the grand total more than five and a half billion dollars' worth of property is not tax able. Tbe District of Columbia alone carries $395,027,470 In exempt prop - erty, most of which, of course, belongs n tho -..mmpnr . . . ,. hJ $40,000,000 in street railways, shipping, waterworks, etc., as against $41,000,000 for Virginia and about $24,000,000 for West Virginia. In that one Item the District presents a higher ! valuation than Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Dela ware. North or South Carolina, Florida or nine-tenths of the western states. In the "products of agriculture, manufactures and mining, imported mer chandise, clothing and personal adornments and furniture, carriages and kindred property" tbe District has $142,827,240. Faiilat of I.ob a Bridge. The historic Long bridge will soon pass Into memory. For several weeks workmen have been busy tearing down the old structure and but a remnant remains. Since the Pennsylvania rail road constructed the new steel bridge across the Potomac and the government built the Fotomac highway bridge there is no longer any use for the old bridge. The old Long bridge dates from the administration of Thomas Jefferson. In the winter of 1807-08 congress pass ed an act authorizing its construction. The "new bridge." as it was then called, cost $100,000. It was well built. little over a mile In length, with a broad carriage way and passages for pedestrians on either side. Brltlah Left It Intact. General Roa and the British Invad ed the capital duriug the war of 1S12. burned the capital, scared children and drank up all thegood Madeira they could find, but for some reason not explained by historians failed to molest Long bridge. On Feb. 22, 1831. a spring freshet carried away portions of the bridge. The bridge was reopened for traffic Oct. 29. 1835. George W. Hughes was tbe engineer. Of Historic Interest. The next event of Importance in the old structure was another flood, but not of water. It was a flood of human beings, wild with consternation, that flowed over the old bridge when, on July 23. 1801. the panic stricken Union army hastened from the field of Bull Run back to the capital. From that day the bridge has, by reason of this connection, formed part of a great his torlcal fact. I'nclalmed Mall Packages. At the annua auction of unclaimed packages from the dead letter office the articles of merchandise embraced in the 8.203 catalogue items of the sale Included the salable contents of 30,000 parcels originally directed to foreign countries for delivery and held as un mailable, 30,000 pieces of unclaimed domestic mail matter and 52,000 ar tides found loose or without wrappers In the mall. The catalogue items included a great variety of salable iuclosures, embracing mink skins, drovers' whips, French Jewel boxes, chinaware, watches, dia mond pins, pearl brooches and books of all descriptions and values, none of which was returnable because of faillire on the part of senders to attach their card addresses. President to Visit Jamestown. A committee from the National Editorial association, headed by J. E. Junkin, called on the president the other day and asked him to speak before the meeting of the association at the Jamestown exposition next summer. The president said he would be glad to do so if the meeting of the association should be held about the time he will visit the exposition to take part in Georgia day exercises. He has agreed to go to the Georgia day ceremonies at the Georgia building because his mother was a Georgian. The date has not been settled, but It will be either the 13th, 14th or 15th of June. The president will open the exposition in ApriL and his trip In June will be his second one. CARL SCHOFIELD. Notice to Bidders.

THE CAPE COD CANAL

REVIVAL OF OLD PROJECT TO SHORTEN BOSTON-NEW YORK ROUTE. The Scheme 1Vtt Flrt Mooted la the HeSsrn of Charles II. The AdTaolase of the I'lin to Commerce and Paanensrer Traffic. HE canal across Cape Cod that August Belmont and other capitalists prolse to build and for which tbe eminent engineer. William Barclay , Tarsous, hns made plans Is by no means a new project. It seems strange that the work v OLD WJ5DMILL OX CAPE COD. of uniting the waters of Buzzards bay and Cape Cod bay has not been put in execution Ions ere this, for the advantages to commerce and navigation are manifest. The present journey around Cape Cod to Boston harbor is a perilous one. Passenger traffic espe daily would be facilitated by the digging of the canal, for the route to Bos ton from New York and points on Long Island sound would be materially shortened, and many dangers would be eliminated. Mr. Farsons, who was the engineer of the now famous New York gubway, recommends a sea level canal, and the engineering difficulties of the problem are not great, for the waters of the two bays come almost together as it is at cer ltaIn times, and there is no material j difference in their tide level. The Cape Cod canal has been a joke ior u c-euiury or iwo uiuoiig luu it was m 1020 that the Pn. T7. " the cape, and It was but a compara tlvely short time after that event. during the reign of Charles II., that the scheme now to be put in actual operation was first mooted. Since then the Cape Cod canal has been the mariner's dream, and several times It has seemed on the eve of fulfillment. The MAP OF CAPI3 COD. Massachusetts records of 1070 contain a reference to the project, and in 1087 the general court of the state appointed a commission "to view a place for a passage to be cut through the land in Sandwich from Barnstable bay to Mahomet bay for vessels to pass through to and from the western parts of the country." One of George Washington's engineers made a survey for the purpose of a canal in the year 1770, and about forty years later, when John C. Calhoun was secretary of war in the cabinet of President Monroe, he reported In favor of the construction of such a canal. His idea was that a chain of artificial waterways might be constructed which would afford continuous passage for vessels of war as well as ships of commerce from Boston all the way down the Atlantic coast, so that at no place would they be compelled to go into the open sea. A portion of this plan was actually carried out. But the Cape Cod canal was not built. In 1885 another move In the matter was made, and about a mile of canal was really dug. Cutting off the forearm stretching out from the mainland of Massachusetts into the sea would shorten the route usually pursued by vessels from Long Island sound by about 150 miles, and the dangers met with on this treacherous coast In winter would be avoided. It is estimated that the ca nal could be built in three year. The late Joseph Jefferson, former President Grover Cleveland and oth ers known to fame have helped to keep Cape Cod nnd the Buz zards bay re gion In the pub lie eye. Sarah Pratt Greene and Joseph C. Lincoln have written about its Inhabitants. It was Thoreau who declared that the sand of the cape was WIIXIAM BARCLAY TASSOWS. such a nuisance that the tops of soma of the sand hills were Inclosed with boards and signs put up forbidding persons to enter the inclosures lest their feet should disturb the sand and set it to blowing or slid ing. It was this same philosopher who described the Wellfleet oysterman who admitted that he was "a good for nothin critter" under "petticoat gov eminent" Two of at Kind. "Well, Perkins," said the eminent personage, who was now an Invalid, "who Is it wishes to see me now? My biographer?" "No, sir," replied the butler; "your physician."

Even the very names seem to be fictitious, as they were not Gaelic and are not to be found In any of the ancient chronicles or Irish annals. Neither is a thaiiie of Lochaber known in Scotch history, though Sir Bernard But is inakes Banquo a "descendant of Kenneth II. and thane of Lochabyr. Malone says that after Banquo's assassination Fleance fled to Wales, where he married a Welsh princess, by whom he had a son, Walter, who became lord high steward of Scotland. He assumed the name Walter Steward and was, it is said, the direct ancestor of the bouse of Stewart. Shake speare, we know, based "Macbeth" on Holinshed's "History" a good deal of which was borrowed from a circum stantial romance composed by Boece. Mr. Boswell-Stone, in his "Shake speare's Holinshed," after balancing the pros and wes, says. "In my opin ion, Banquo and Fleance are probably creatures of Boeee's imagination." Acquired Talent. " "Ma," said tbe small son of a pugilist. "pa isn't a natural born fighter, is he'" "Of , course he is," replied the mother. "Why do you think he isn't?"

It is the common expression you hear applied to the house that is well supplied with plants during the winter months. They lend an air of comfort to the home and remind one of the balmy days of the warmer months. A fern is especially an attractive plant for indoors during the winter. Practically everyone in Richmond possesses either a Sword fern or a Boston fern, and have enjoyed having them about. Knowing the great popularity of ferns, therefore, the Palladium obtained the exclusive right to offer in connection with the paper three of the Whit manii ferns to each subscriber. The Whitmanii fern is a variation of the Sword and Boston ferns and completely outshines them in beauty besides being as hardyThe Whitmanii fern is an ideal indoor plant and has only to be seen to be wanted. If the solicitors have not yet visited you let trie Palladium office know and a sample Whitmanii fern will be sent to you as quickly as possible, together with the terms under which you may obtain it.

John FIske, the American historian, was an ardent lover of music and him self no mean musician. Furthermore, he was extremely corpulent and felt the hot weather painfully. He was once delivering a course of lectures at a summer school In a small city of the middle west. The heat was terrific, and adjoining the house where the lecturer stayed was a church where an ill matched but zealous "quartet" practiced and performed during all hours of the torrid afternoons and evenings. One evening, seeing the famous man sit for a time unoccupied and apparently oppressed by this combined affliction, the young daughter of his hostess attempted to divert him by offering him a new novel, then Just becoming popular. "I think "The Choir Invisible Is perfectly splendid, Mr. Fiske," said she. "Wouldn't you like to read it?" The historian put the book aside. "My dear young lady," said he, "the only choir In the world In which I could feel any Interest at this moment would be the choir Inaudible." Milkina; h Cow. The cow is a creature of habit.

flADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS. SAFE AND RELIABLE. That the roots of many native plants, growing wild in our American forests, pjss remarkable properties for the euro of human maladies is well i roven. Even the untutored Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and taucht the early settlers thoir uss. The Indian never liked work so he wanted his squaw to gt well as soon'as possible that she might do the work and let him hunt. Therefore, he dug " papoose root " for her, for that wa their irreat remedy for female weaknesses. Or. Pierce uses the same root called Blue Cohosh in his "Favorite Prescription. skillfully combined with other agents that make it more effective than any other medicine in enrinc all th various weaknesses and painful derangements peculiar to women. Many afflicuxl women have been saved from the operating table and the surf eon's knife by the timely use of Ioctor lerce's Favorite I'rescription.

Work of I he Heart. Few stop to consider the amount of labor performed daily by the human heart. The inexhaustible supply of energy displayed by this overworked organ is marvelous. Calculation has shown that the work of the heart of an average person Is equal to the feat of lifting over five tan at tbe rate of a foot an hour or 125 tons In twentyfour hours. A certain Dr. Richardson once made a curious calculation In regard to the work performed by the heart in mileage. He presumed that the blood was forced out at the heart at each palpitation In the proportion of sixty-nine strokes a minute and at the assumed distance of nine feet. At this rate the flow of the blood through tho body would be 207 yards a minute, or seven miles an hour. This would make 170 miles a day, or 01,000 miles a year. Thus In a lifetime of eighty-four years the blood in the human body would travel over 5,000,000 miles. The number of beats of the heart required to 6er.d the blood that far would ba ore 8,000,000,000. , The Troth of It.
