WASHINGTON. March 2.
President Koosevelt today sent an
other special message to congress in
which he c.»lls attention to certain
measuies \ipou wltioli lie thinks there
should be action before the close of
the preseut session. The message, iu
part, is as follows :
PROHIBIT CHILD LABOR.
"Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation. At least a
model child-labor bill should pass
ed for the District of Colombia. I re
new my recommendation for the im
mediate re-enactment of an employ
ers' liability law. Iu addition to the
liability law protecting the employes
of common carriers, the government
should show its good faith by enact
ing a further law giving compensa
tion to its employes for injury or
death incurred iu its service.
STRIKES ARB LEGAL.
"It is iinportaut that we should en
courage trade agreements between em
ployer aud employe where they are
just and fair. A strike is a clumsy
weapon for righting wrongs done to
labor, aud we 6hou>d extend, so far as
possible, the process of conciliation
aud arbitration as a substitute for
strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder,
and coercion, when committed iu con
neotiou with strike, should be as
promptly aud as sternly repressed as
when committed in any other connec
tion. But strikes themselves are, and
should be, recognized to be entirely
legal. The business mau must be pro
tected iu person and property, and so
must the farmer and the wage worker:
and as regards all alike, the right of
peaceful combination for all lawful
purposes should be explicitly recogniz
ed. The right of employers to combiue
and contract with one another aud
with their employes should be expli
citly recognized: and so should the
right of the employes to combine and
to contract with one another aud witli
the employers, and to seek peaceably
to persuade others to accept their
views, and to strike for the purpose of
peaceably obtaining from employers
satisfactory terms for their labor.
Nothing should be done to leglaizo
either a blacklist or a bovcott that
would be illegal at common law.
FINANCE AND TARIFF.
'' The question of financial legislation
is now receiving such attention in
both houses that we have a right to
except action before the close of the
sessiou. It is urgently necessary that
there should be, and indeed must be,
action should be taken to to establish
postal savings banks.
"The time has come when we should
prepare for a revision of the tariff.
This should be, and iudeed must be,
preceded by careful investigation. It
is peculiarly the province of the con
gress and not of the president, and in
deed peculiarly the province of the
house of representatives, to originate
a tariff bill and to determine upon its
terms; and this I fully realize. Yet it
seems to me that before the close of
this session provision should be made
for collecting i'u II material which will
euable the oougrei-s elected next fall
to act immediately after it comes into
existence. lam of the opinion, how
ever, that one change in the tariff
could with advantage be made forth
with. Our forests need every protec
tion, ami one method of protecting
them would be to put upon the free
»->t wood pulp, with a corresponding
reduction upon paper made from wood
pulp, wlieu they coiue from any couu
try that does not put an expor. duty
upon them."
Dough.
Dough is made out of wheat, real
estate, oil, literature and magazine ar
ticles. Rut dough made of wheat is no
stickier than any other. Dough is the
prior fact to bread, motor cars, steam
yachts and collections of old books. It
Is the staff of high life. It lmbltters
matrimony and purveys the lovely
scandals we read about. It gets girls
sent off to college and fitted to lie
something more spectacular than mere
wives and mothers. It curseth thetu
that go in for it, but not unto the third
and fourth We are too
good spenders for that. It is from
dough that the dowdy, the dull aud
the dotty derive distinction otherwise ;
denied.—Puck.
An Orkney Prayer.
The brevity of the Orkney snrnmer
precluding the raising of hardly any
thing except oats ("aits") and barley,
the elders had requested the minister
to pray for good harvest weather. Ho
complied as follows; "Lord, gie us
braw weather and a wee bit saugh of
a breeze that will dree the straw and
will nne harm the heads, but if ye
blaw us sic a bletherln', rivin', tearin'
blast as we has been ha'in' ye'll play
the vera mischief wi' the aits and fair
ly spoil a'l."
Unexpected Testimony.
A farmer had an old horse that he
wanted to sell, so, having doctored It
up to make it appear as young as pos
sible, he soon found a purchaser. Tho
latter before taking away the horse
told the farmer that he should like to
ask the carter a question or two. Im
agine tho surprise of both buyer and
seller when that worthy in reply to a
question as to the qualities of the
horse blurted out:
"Why, malster, I've knowed this
hoss for twenty years, and I've never
knowed un kick or bite!"—Pearson's
Weekly.
WHH FHEORHAT
AMERICAN FLE» T
at II p. m.on February 6th, aud con
tinued our passage thruigh the straits.
From that time until about the same
next night we taw same of the
grandest aud most impressive scenery
iu the world.
We rouuded Cape Froward, in the
Straits of Magellan, the southernmost
point on the main land of South Am
erica, about four o'clock on the morn
ing of February 7th.
First let me say that at this time of
the year in this country the daylight
begins about three o'clock in the morn
ing and ends about nine o'olock at
night, so that we.had nearly eighteen
hours of davlight.
After rounding Oaj>e Froward, we
stood off to the northwest, entering the
most dangerous part of the Strains.
The ships were iu column, lour hun
dred yards apart, the same formation
used ingoing into harbor, and the
passage through was made without
mishap. I came on watch at eight
o'clock that morning, and for four
hours aud a half looked at the most
maguificeut and impressive scenery in
the world. On either Bide of the chan
nel, which is not more than a mile
wide,rose high mountains, green with
vegetation at the bottom, and covered
with great snow piles at the top.
Mountains from three hundred to a
thousand feet high ; freaks iu all sorts
of grotesque farmation; here aud there
high rocks rising out of the water
hundreds of feet into the air,absolute
ly barren of any life ; here one rock
with a foundation like hugh steps,
there a line of peaks resembling a don
key's head aud ears; off to the south
ward peaks going up and up until lost
in the clouds —peaks not yet explored
by man. Huge glaciers run down to
| the water's edge—solid masses to
j preen ice sparkling iu the sun. The
glaciers looked as if the waves of the
: sea had been frozen. It was most
beautiful to see.
We would be steaming along appar
ently toward a solid crock, when sud
denly we would swing around through
narrow, tortuous channels, and then
apparently for other rocks. At Oape
Orosstide, the Atlantic and Pacific
come together, and here are the most
dangerous currents of all.
First the suu would shine, then the
wind would blow, icv from tlie glaoi
ers, snow would begin to fall, and we
would have what is knowu as a "wil
liwaw."
At the western end of the Straits
staud two solid masses of granite hun
dreds of feet in the air; Cape Pillar
and Westminster Rocks. Cape Pillar
is a light about 300 feet in the air.
We passed out into the Pacific Ocean
about eight o'clock that night and laid
our course for Valparaiso.
At the western end of the Straits it
is always stormy and rough. We ran
before the wind for about two days
and then it fell calm. Imagine a body
of water as smooth as a piece of glass.
Such was the Paoific for days at a
time, but though there is no ripple iu
the surface there is a long swell that
causes the ship to roll a good deal.
For miles and miles in the Pacific we
passed over places where the bottom
has never been found. The water does
not seem to be as blue here as in the
Atlantic, but it is much smoother.
The Chacabuco acoompauied us from
Punta Arenas and on Wednesday she
ran ahead of us to make arrangements
for the review of the fleet by the Presi
dent of Chile.
On Friday the fourteenth wo made
preparations and about two o'clock we
ran into the harbor of Valparaiso. All
the town seemed to be out to see us,
for the hills and shore were black with
people. We fired a national salute as
we entered the harbor and stood along
to pass in review before the President.
As each ship passed the naval honors
were rendered and we continued on
our way out to sea.
Seen from the harbor in passing,
Valparaiso seems to be a city built on
I)ills. The country around is very
mountainous. From the harbor we
could see a mountain 80 miles inland
which was 24,000 feet high. Signs of
the recent earthquake at Valparaiso
could be seen iu tho new ground on
the liilis. We wero given a great re
ception with whistles and guns as we
passed through the harbor. The Chil
eans wished us to Valparai
so was not on the list of ports to be
visited.
We continued on our way to', Call no
aud after an uneventful passage, ar
rived here about 9_a. m.on Fobruary
20th.
Not much of tho city can be seen
from the harbor for it is low, lying at
the foot of the mountains. Back of the
city the Andes Mountains rise in three
tiers. The harbor of Callao is thought
to be over a volcano. The latter has a
peculiar reddish tinge and a peculiar
odor and taste. Callao has a popula
tion of about 35,000 and is the seaport
of Lima. Lima is tho capitol of Peru,
a city of about 250,000 inhabitants aud
is situated about eight miles inland
from Callao aud 400 feet higher. Con
necting Callao and Lima are steam
and electric Hues. The electrio line
possesses a double track and an excel
lent roadbed aud runs perhaps the
fastest trolley cars on the continent.
The run from Lima to Callao is often
made iu fifteen minutes. The cars are
all modern American cars, built es
pecially for this line. Cars run every
six minutes during the day.
I did not get ashore on Thursday but
on Friday I went ashore and saw the
town. Lima impressed me better than
any city I bad yet seen outside the
States. The streets are narrow, but
every Btreet has a trolley line. The
houses are built of hollow brick cov
ered with some sort of stucoo work.
The streets are well paved, mauy of
tiie sidewalks being lit marhl • in I
mosaic flumes". Tli v have here iu
Lima the oldest fountain in America.i
It is in the Plaza and all around it ]
>tro beautiful palms and dowers. The j
climate here is the most wonderful in j
the world. The temperature is the'
same all the year round and it rarely
or never rains. Yesterday, February j
25th, it was the Becond time it had
raiued here in seven years, and then
it did not ra'n enough to wet the!
streets. There are heavy dews each ]
night, which keep life going. As an
old American resident here says,
"You never have to say here, 'weath
er permitting', the weather always
premits."
The first thing arranged in our hon
or was a dinner siveu by the President
on Saturday. Those who went ei joy
ed themselves immensely. I was on
duty that day. On Sunday there was
nothing arranged. On Monday, yester
day, there was a bull fight given by
the'government in honor of the Ameri
can fleet. Bull fighting is a barbarous
custom,held over from the time of the
old Spanish settlers.
There were 8,000 men and 400 officers
from the fleet at the bull fight. Suoh
brutal and withal fasinating sport I
never hope to witness again. There
were six bulls killed, and one of the
ball fighters was killed and another
seriously injured.
The bull ring is a large amphithe
atre situated near the center of the
city. Society was out in force yester
day to see the fight.
The bull fighters of yesterday con
sisted of nine men on foot and two on
horse back. The horsemen have large
red cloaks which they wave at the
bull. The footmen iiave smaller ones
and are dressed very picturesquely.
The ring or arena is cleared of all
except the fighters. Then one of the
horsemen stands in front of the door
of the bull pen, about ten feet away
waving his red mantle. The trumpet
sounds, the door of the pen is opened
and the bull comes charging into the
arena. As he bellows and paws the
earth, you are able to get a good look
at him.
Such bulls we do not have in our
country. Great monsters with horns
about two feet long aud about two feet
sprea 'lie pion ghar as needles.
Tue bulls are raised where they rarely
see a man and for four days before the
fight they are starved, to make them
more ferocious.
The bull sees the rod mantle and
charges for the horse. The man on the
horse, who is called the Caballero,
mancuvres hiVsteed so that the bull
barely misses him each time. The
first bull yesterday gored a horse but
not badly. After the horsemen have
kept the bull going around the arena
several times,the footmen go out with
small mantles aud tease the bull.Then
you see to what degree men are super
ior to animals. They play with the
bull each time he charges, side step
ping so that the bull barely misses
them. Yesterday one of the men iu an
unguarded turned his back
and the bull immediately proceeded to
lift him. The first time the bull toss
ed himSwithout goring him. The sec
ond time the horns just grazed the
man's leg, ripping his trousers. Then
the other footmen by usingjtheir man
tles got the bull clear of the man so
that he was able to get up and run off
to one of the little boxes'at the side.
In case the bull charges a mau too
hard, they run to the little boxes
around the arena.
After the men have played with tl e
bull for a while, the bugle sounds
again and the banderillos come out.
Thev each have two wooden sticks
abont two feet long, on the end of
whioh are'shorp steel barbs.
The mau with the sticks gets out in
the centre ofjtlie arenn and attracts
the bull's attention to himself. The
bull sees liini and charges at hint with
lowered head. The man stands wait
ing and as thejbull'reaclies him s'"de
steps and sticks both barbs together
into the bull's shoulders. The bull
then becomes infuriated beyond meas
ure and charges around as though mad
These barbs are put iu four times aud
then the bngle sounds again.

I'lih Matador or nl*yer theu comes
uUi •mi fwut armed with a long sword
more Mian a yard in length. Iu his
left hand lie carries a wand covered
with a brilliant red cloth. He advanc
es to within a few pnoes of the bull
and teases him with a roil ting. Then
he points his sword fir the bull's
shoulder and as the animal charges
with lowered h.->«rl lie s'do'^ep' l tnd
lunges. The force of the iunge and
the ball's charge drives the sword in
to the bull's vitals often up to the
hilt. The sword is withdrawn from
the bull by beautiful foot work on the
part of unarmed men. UsualK (he
bull is stabbed with the sword three
times aud the third time he goos
down. After he is down he is put out
of his misery by u>ing a sharp axe at
the base of his brain.
The fifth ball yesterday knocked the
matador down once, and he was di
rectly uuder the hoofs of the animal,
but by doubling himself into a ball he
was able to roll out while his com
rades attracted the hull's attention.
Later this same bull killed the same
man.
The matador had mado his final
lunge and had driven liis sword home.
The ball tossed at the same time. The
man drew baok, but did not get his
head out of the road, and the bull's
sharp born caught him under the jaw
in the neok and tossed him about ten
feet into the air. He fell to the
ground, but had nerve enough to get
up and run off the field, pointing to a
large hole in his neck he did so.
He died late last night.
Taking it all in all it was a tight
worth seeing, for its educational value
alone, bnt to their credit none of the
Americans seemed actually to enjoy it.
Today the American minister gave a
garden party in Lima. Tomorrow,
Wednesday, there is to be an excur
sion to Orica, 13,000 feet in the air
above Lima. I should like to take that
in but we coal ship tomorrow. O
Thursday is another garden party aud
I do not know yet what we have for
Friday. On Saturday morning we
leave for the longest leg of the voy
age.
Lima impresses me very favorably.
The wotueu of Lima have the reputa
tion of being the most beautiful in
the world and from what I have seen
of them they live up to their reputa
tion. Without doubt I have Been more
beautiful women here in three days
than in all the rest of my life.
We have had a very pleasant cruise
so far, but have been working very
hard preparing for target practice
which tabes place as soon as wo ar

We expect to be in San Francisco in

Robert Clark Sheep departed this
life at the Joseph Rutti hospital at

Duriug the pnst year the deceased
was a repident of Danville. For about
four months lie was at the Oity hotel
us clerk aud manager. Previous to
that he held a position at Elias Maier's
restaurant. About eight weeks ago he
returned to Bloomsburg.
Robert Clark Sheep was in many
respects a remarkable man. Versatile,
witty with the social side of hiß na

possess the grand requisite for getting
