Ezpcct tbo Pinal Canal Legislation Be fore the Holidays. PROSPECT IS TOR RATIFICATION Southern Senator* Are Particularly Anx ious for the Construction of the Water way at Earliest I’oss,hie Date — Miscel laneous Washington Mailers. WASHINGTON, Dee. !).—The only measure of imiiortance which the sen ate has on its calendar for the pres ent week is tlie new Hay-Pauncefote treaty, making provision for the ab rogation of the Ciayton-Bulwer treaty and opening the way for the unob structed construction of an isthmian canal by the ifnited States. Acting for the committee on foreign relations Senator I»dge will ask the senate to go Into executive session today for the consideration of the treaty and each day hereafter until the treaty is disposed of. It can be said that at tliis time the prospect is very strong that the treaty will be ratified and it now looks as if this result would be secured after comparative little delay. There will be some debate and some features of the document will be criticised as undesirable, but there is no probability of captious opposition. The criticism will be along the lines indicated by Senators Money and Bacon in the committee on foreign re lations at its meeting on last Friday. No senator has thus fur shown a disposition to carry his discussion to a point of ultimate elTort to defeat ratification. The principal authors of the criticism of the treaty are south ern senators, who are generally very anxious for the construction of the j canal. They find that all canal legis lation will be tied up until action can be secured on the treaty and they are on this account less liable than they otherwise would be to do any thing to delay action upon the treaty Itself. The most active friends of the treaty now claim that ratification will be obtained before the Christmas holi days. Beyond the consideration of the treaty.very little business will be un dertaken before the holidays. It is now generally agreed that the ques tion of reciprocity will go over until January, probably without so much as being mcnticned, and it may be added that from being for a time the sub ject most likely to attract early at tention. it has taken a position among the matters which will not be vigor ously urged. When the reciprocity treaties do come up for consideration there will be persistent opposition to the agreement with France and to that with Great Britain covering the West Indies. There is not so much feeling over the conventions with the South Amer ican republics. The present outlook is also against the immediate action in the senate looking to tariff legislation for the Philippines, and there are now some indications that the senate will wait upon the house of representa tives in this matter. Probably the Chinese exclusion act will be reported from committee during the week. The nomination of Attorney General Knox will be reported at the first executive session, but immediate onflnnation will probably be antagonized by some senators. GOOD OMEN TOR THE TREATY KiisIIhIi l’rps* Vi n ures that It Will Sur mount t lie Obstruction*. LONDON. Dec. 9.-The Times, in an editorial on the Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty, says it ig hard to see how Great Britain cculd concede more without pretending to give what she did not possess, namely, the rights of territorial sovereignty. “That act," says the Times, “would not weaken the objections of those senators to anything making for good relations with Great Britain. As President Roosevelt and public opin ion seem to favor this treaty, we ven ture to say it will surmount the threatened obstruction.” M»y AIho Be ii Ki^mipnr, VIENNA, Dec. 9.—It is said here that the man named Halju, who was arrested at Sotla.

LONDON, Dec. 9.—A dispatch to the Times from Vienna declares that as a result of the recent appeal to the public to take the matter in hand, duelling in Austro-Hungary is doomed, DIFFER ON INSULAR TARIFF Expect, House to Earn* a Measure to Meet the Situation. WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.—The house this week will probably pass a meas ure to meet the situation created by the Philippine decision of the supreme court last Monday. Up to the present time, however, the republican mem bers of the ways and means commit teee have not decided upon the char acter of the measure which will be reported. A difference of opinion exists as to whether there should be a temporary enactment of the Dingley rates on goods entering the United States from the Philippines, or whether a perma nent possession of the island should be prepared. It is said Chairman Payne favors the latter course. The republican committees will meet again tomorrow'. If it is de cided to enact a temporary measure the procedure will be exceedingly sim ple and it probably can be passed in a day. If, on the other hand, an entire scheme of tariff legislation is to be consummated more time willl be tak en up in the preparation and passage. KILL AMERICAN DESERTER David Fugin, Negro, Wlio Fled to Fili pln«i, Ik Decapitated. MANILA, Dec. 9.—The scouts from Bcngabon province of Nueva Ecija have killed the American negro, David Pagin, a deserter from the Twenty fourth (colored) infantry, who for more than two years has been lead ing Filipinos against the American troops.

Pagin had on one of his fingers the class ring of Lieutenant Frederick W. Altstaetter of the engineers, who was captured by Pilifinos, supposedly un der the command of Pagin himself, October 28, 1900. Pagin is the deserter who has been reported killed on several occasions. The authorities are satisfied that for mer statements of his death were er roneous and that he has now been killed. HEPBURN’S CAN4L BILL Iowa Senator Introduce. Proposition for Waterway. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Represent ative Hepburn of Iowa introduced his isthmian canal bill, which by reason of his being the author of the bill passed last year and his probable con tinuance at the head of the house commerce committee, is regarded as the measure which will serve as a basis for action by the house. It differs from the Hepburn bill passed last year, in making the total appropria tion $180,000,000, instead of $140,000, 000. Of the total amount, $10,000,000 is made immediately available to be gin work. In other respects the biU follows that of last year, authorizing the president to acquire a right of way from Costa Rica and Nicaragua and then to direct the secretary of war to begin the construction, from Greytown on the Carribean sea, to Brito on the Pacific ocean, with suitable defenses, etc. CIVIL SERVICE IN VOGUE __ Weather Bureau Now Operating on Strict Merit System Basin. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The an nual report of Prof. Willis L.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 9.—The case of the Crawford company against Hathaway, which is of far-reaching importance to the irrigation interests of Nebraska, has been assigned for rehearing at the next sitting of the supreme court. The action originated in a dispute over a small irrigation claim in Dawes county, but it has grown to such proportions that it now involves the constitutionality of the entire irrigation law of the state. It has been before the supreme court in various ways for nearly two years and in all opinions given the court has held strictly to the law of ri parian rights, and contrary to the Ne braska law. HIS LEGS ALMOST SEVERED Diatressing Accident to Young Man at Fairbury. FAIRBURY, Neb., Dec. 9.—A shock ing accident occurred a short dis tance northwest of this city. John Calloway, a young man who had pre viously lost an arm, was helping C. C. Calloway clear a piece of timber land. The young man used a light ax, which he could wield with one hand, and he was chopping on one side of a tree while his uncle chopped from the other.

AS TO CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Nebraska Hoard of Health Devises Striu eut Quarantine Regulations. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 4.—The mem bers and secretaries of the State Board of Health have submitted a set of stringent quarantine regulations which are recommended for adoption by every county in the state. They provide for the quarantine of small pox, scarlet fever and diphtheria cases upon strict sanitary lines. The board advises the county commission ers in each county to organize a lo cal board of health and they are ur ged to follow as closely as possiole the rules submitted to them, which are as follows: Whenever within the limits of this county and without the corporate lim its of any city or village a person is suspected of having smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria of other contagious disease, he shall be immediately iso lated within his own household as carefully as possible, and as soon as a contagious disease is recognized it will be the duty of the attending phy sician and of the householder to give written notice of the same to the clerk of the county, giving the name of the disease and of the family where it exists, with the number exposed and all other particulars that may be of any value. The premises where above conta gious diseases exist shall be duly quarantined by the board through its proper officers, or an appointee, (a) by placing upon the house or some conspicuous point upon the premises a placard giving the name of the dis ease in letters not less than three inches in height; (b) by a verbal or written notice to the householder to remain on the premises and in no way mingle with other people, or al low others, except physicians, to ap proach nearer than thirty feet of any house or person thus quarantined. This rule to apply also in cases of exposure. Such quarantine shall continue un til, in the opinion of the medical ad viser of the board, the last case of the disease likely to occur therein has com pletely recovered and is ready ror dis infection. Provided, however, that in cases of extreme necessity one free from disease may be released earlier after thorough disinfection of person and clothing, and with a certificate from the above named medical ad viser. The necessaries of life, as often as occasion demands, may be carried within thirty feet of the quarantined house by a neighbor or other duly appointed messenger, but no nearer, nor shall any effects whatever be brought away from the household un til thoroughly disinfected. In case of death from contagious disease there shall be no public fun eral; the body of the deceased shall bo closely wrapped in sheets well sat urated with disinfectants and closed in a tight casket, this to be again wrapped in a disinfected cloth, and in such cases the corpse shall not be carried to or near any body of people while on its way to the ceme tery. When in any school district or com munity several families—say five to eight—are infected with contagious diseases, or very many exposures have occurred, the board should prohibit all gatherings of people in that com munity, including sessions of schools, until in their opinion the emergency is past. All physicians should use due pre cautions in their visits to quarantined households to avoid the danger o£ contagion to the well. When, in the opinion of the "indical adviser of the board, quarantine can safely be raised, it shall be done with fumigation with a 40 per cent solu tion of formaldehyde,v using at least five ounces to each 1,000 cubic feet of air space, solution to be applied by an approved evaporator or by the sheet method, the rooms to be sealed for at least six hours, all persons to receive a disinfecting bath and their clothing to be fumigated and the house thoroughly cleaned. This is to be done in accordance with the sug gestions of the State Board of Health to physicians. When in the opinion of the board a hospital is needed to which individ ual cases of contagious diseases may be removed, or when such method will accommodate those without homes at much less public expense, or for any other reason it is deemed best, a building suited to their needs shall be provided. Whoever in any way willfully or negligently disobeys f)hese rules of quarantine and disinfection shall by such disobedience render himself sub ject to prosecution and a fine of $25 for each and every offense and shall meanwhile, if infected and subject to quarantine, be held at the quaran tined house or hospital until the time for disinfection.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ Deab Mbs. Pinkham : — I was in an awful state for nearly three years with a complication of female troubles which three physicians called by dif ferent names, but the pains were all the same. I dreaded the time of my MABELLE L. LAMONTE. monthly periods for it meant a couple of days in bed in awful agony. I final ly made up my mind that the good doctors were guessing; and bearing from different friends such good re ports of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- ,_ etable Compound, I tried that. I bless the day I did, for it was the diiwning of a new life for me. I used five bottles before I was cured, but when they were taken I was a well woman once more. Your Compound is certainly wonderful. Several of my friends have used it since, and nothing but the best do I ever hear from its use.” — Yours, Mabeli.e L.
