THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Ocip Regular Corrr-spnndrat )
Washington, D. C. Jas. 7, 1901.
The Senate has made consider
able progress in considering tin
Army Reorganization bill, and, ol
. though no time has been 't for a
vote, it is believed that the bill will
be passed during tins week. The
debate has compelled the opponents
of the bill to acknowledge that thai
troops provided for in the bill are
needed in the Philippines. Thev
have been compelled to base their
opposition on details of the bill, and
some of them have pone so fnr as to
propose furnishing the men in so'ne
other way. There is no liklihood of
such a proposition being accepted,
bowever, as, with the exception of
Senator Hoar, every Republican is
believed to be prepared to votd for
the bill. He is the only Republican
who hns spoken against it. Senator
Teller rather amused his colleagues
by stating that he 'withdrew his
speech of two years ago, in which
lie scoffed at imperialism under the
American flag, ami professed to see
imperialism In the acts of the Phil
ippine Commission, which 18 engng
ed in sotting up civil government in
the pacified portions of the Philip
pines. Some of the Democrats pre
tend to see in the bill discrimination
against the volunteer officers now in
the Philippine, but that is the ver
iest nonsense.
The report on the River and Har
bor bill, submitted by Chairman
Burton, contains such information
concerning the appropriations car
ried by that bill, a total of $59,935,
Sl5. The total number of improve
ments provided for are 408, of which
232 are rivers and 148 harbors.
These we selected from improve
ments aggregating 1300,000,000,
which U. 8. Army engineers had
estimated for.
C. A Snow & Co., of Washing
ton, D. C, secured the honor of fil
ing the first application for a U. 8.
patent, in the twentieth century,
for Dr. Calvin J. Pollock, of Kirks
villo, Mo.
Some surprise was felt and ex
pressed by the Republican leaders of
the House, who had long ago decid
ed that the question of restriction of
suffrage in the South should not be
taken up at this session of Congress
when Representative Olmsted,
without conferring with anyone,
and entirely upon his own responsi
bility, offered a resolution provid
ing that such an investigation should
be made before the reapportionment,
bill was acted upon. Although Mr.
Gl mated had a" perfect right to do
this, it was somewhatsuprising, and
of course, could have but one result
the shelving of his resolution, by
Mending it to the Census Committee.
Even if there had been no other ob
jection, it would not be possible to
procure the information upon which
to make even the most hurried in
vestigation within the life of the
present Congress. There was a re
grettable wrangle between Chair
man Hopkins, of the Census Com
mittee Reapportionment Bill, and
Representative Littlefield, of Me.,
who is supporting the substitute in
troduced by Representative Burleigh
of Me., in which both gentleman
ased unparliamentary language, and
had to be called to order by Acting
Speaker Dalxell. It is natural
enough that Mr. Littlefield and the
other Maine members should sup
port the Burleigh bill, which retains
the present number of members
from their state, while the Hopkins
bill reduce it by one, but it is none
the less regrettable that he should
have seen fit to make a personal at
tack upon Mr. Hopkins in support
ing the bill. The fight evor this bill
is likely to go on all this week. It
is entirely outside of party lines.
Those who pretended to see antag
onism to the S'lip Subsidy bill in
the vote of the Senate giving the
Army Reorganization bill the right
of way held by the Shipping Billsro
ignoring the facts. It wai agreed at
the time the Shipping Bill was made
the regular business of the Senate
ti.at if it were not disposed of when
the army bill, which is an urgency
measure, was reported to the Senate
it should g.ve way to that measure
That the move was in no way pre
judice 1 to the Shipping Bill was
shown by the fact that not a single
vote was cast against the motion to
put the army bill ubead.

Our Railroads, Etc.
In 1830 we had but 23 miles of
railroad. In 1900 we had nearly
200,000 mileage, with a total track
of 250,000 miles, of which 225,000
miles were steel rails. Our cars
numbered 1,500,000 and carried, in
1899, 514.982,288 passengersand 912,
973,853 tons of freight. The total
traffic earnings were $1,249,555,724.
and the oost of equipment hud been
$12,000,000,000.
While our shipping in tho foreign
trade is Inconsiderable, our lake and
coast wise trade is enormous.
We had no teloernp'i or tolep'i me
in 1840 In 1900 we had 920,000
miles of telegraph wire and 800,000
miles of telephone wire. In 1900
65 000,000 telegraph messages were
sent, the average cost bnitvr 25 cents
against $1.05 per message in 1868.
Our insurance business is double
that of the while of the rest of the
world combined, the life insurance
in force being nearly $15,000,000,000
while the lire insurance risks writ
ten during 1900 exceeded $17,000,
000.000.
Our banking business is reflected
by Iho deposits of over $3,000,000,
000 in national ami $2,250,000,000 in
savings banks, while the annual
clearings of all our banks approxi
mate $100,000,000,000. To the bank
deposits must, bo ndded tTie assets of
over $500,000,000
of buildiii" and
loan associations.
Our production of gold and silver
was less than $1,000,000 in 1S47. In
1898 it was $113,000,000, about
equally divided between the two
metals.
Our coal production in 1900
amounted to $2(10,000.000, and our
copper to over $1.0,000.000.
total value of all our mineral
1 110
pro-

Aniosthasia by Vibration.
The murmur of a distant water
fall, the rmtter of raindrops on the
roof, and other rhythmic vibrations,
produce a soothirir effect upon, the
nervous centers thst may deepen in.
to actual anaesthesia. Amongstrik
ing examples recorded by Dr. B. F.
Ward is that of a tired workman
who, sitting down to rest a moment
on a railway cross-tie, was lulled in
to unconsciousness by the vibrations ,
of an approaching train, and or.lv
awakened many hours afterward,
when bo found that his left arm Had I
fallen over tho rail and had been
crushed. The man had not been I
drinking. It is concluded that the!
vibrations must, be uniform, rhy
thmic mid steadily incensing . in
force ; and that a auitahlo metallic
operating table with vibrating
wheols should givo harmless anaes
thesia as profound as that from
chloroform.

Petlume Extraction
The perfumes of flowers are best
obtained by distillation, but whore

in very simple apparatus, consisting
of a tank for the solvent, one for tho
flowers, and a third for the solution,
with steam worm, condensing worm
and pump. The steam heat gently
distills off the solvent, leaving on

Growth of Agricultural.
We have always been distinctively
H" agricultural country. Our climate
nn" H111 ' well adapted to the
many products of the farm. Our
farmers saw tills advantage and it
hivnnm the cornerstone nt our com
merce, trade, and wealth. In the
words of Daniel Webster: "Agricul
ture flails, to a great extent it clot lies
us; without it we should not have
manufactures; we should not have
commerce. They all stand together
like pillars in a cluster, the largest
in the center, ami that largest is ag
tietiltnre." Early in the century we liegan to
create and maintain a home market,
and therein lies the secret of our
great agricultural activity and grow
th. The fable shows our remarkable
development, but the figures of pro
ducts of agriculture as given by the
census are misleading. It will be
seen that the total values of our farm
products run from 2 to 3 billion dol
lars from 1870 to 1000. Hut these re
turns are very Incomplete They
give only "principal vegetable pro
ductions" and "live stock on hand."
To this should bendded the live stock
killed for food by butchers, which Is
ten times that which goes through
the packing houses and amounts
altogether to probably $ 1,000,000,000.
To this again must be added the im
mense value ot our so-called garden
truck, building material, floral pro
ducts and all most innumerable small
er products of countless farms mid
gardens which are not included in
the census, unless they exceed three
acres and have a product exceeding
$500. It Is fair to assume then that
our total agricutural product exceeds
$!), 000,1)1 10,000.
Not only does our system of Pro.
toction give a home market of incal
culable magnitude, but it insures
good prices for the products of the
farm. This in turn creates on in
creased demand for manufactures,
nnd ho the endless chain revolves,

Unfair Treatment.
Mrs. Ida H. Harper in the New
York Sun calls attention to the Cen
sus of Porto Rico, which shows that
if the lightest of educational qualifi
cations is imposed, merely that of be
ing able to read and write, only one
fourth of the male citizens will be
able to vote. She says: "Someway
out of this dilemma will be found,
for our government will never allow
three-fourths of the men anywhere to
l-e disfranchised. The idea is not en
tertained for one moment, however,
of allowing the few educated women
on tin! island to cast a ballot. Every
incentive will be offered the men to
study tin; science of government and
all public questions; none at all will
lie placed before the women, and thus
at the very licginning they will be
put at a disadvantage and the men
will he impressed with their own
superiority. If both could start even
they could develop to-gether, but now
from year to year, the gulf lietween
them will be widened and decjiened
bytjie political dredging machine."
For Eoy and Girls.
Three hundred schoolboys were
asked for a written answer to this
question, "Would you rather lie a
man or a woman and why?" Of the
entire 300 only two perferred to lie
women, one liecause "the female sex
is good without any trouble, but it is
hard for the mule sex to be good."
The second liy wanted to lie a wo
man liecatise "women have more
sense than men." Both of these an
swers are to lie commended to the
attention of the masculine sex. On
the other hand, of 300 girls who were
asked the same question 35 per cent,
wislnil to be men. One of tlu-se de
sired it because "men can vote and
talk politics."
And now it has Ikh'u discovered
that a woman wrote one of the books
of the New Testament, the epistle to
the Hebrews. Professor Harnack, of
Berlin, one of the most distinguished
Biblical scholars of the time, gives it
as his qualified opinion that this
epistle was written by Priscilhi, men
tioned as a gifted and holy co-worker
even by Paul, who in general seems
not to have had much of an opinion
of women.

Better Than Gold Mines.
We read in the old Ixioks thousands
of years old of the golden fleece and
of the sheep's foot that turns all It
touches into gold. And some of us
may think that there is nothing else
in the world but gold that is worth the
trouble to get, nnd that the sheep's
foot story is only a sort of fake to
amuse people with But the facts
ai-e that the profits from the sheep
are far greater than those made from
the gold mines. It is estimated that
a gold dollar costs to get more than
its worth in lulxir, which is unques
tionably true when we figure up the
worth of-the labor spent in gold min
ing all over the world. But figures,
which do not lie, go to show that
the profits derived from the sheep in
Colorado are more than is made from
all tho gold mines in the State. In
deed, net income from the sheep in
the United States every year is far
greater than the total income from
all the mines of gold and silver com
bined. While the profit of the mines
is only once for all, the sheep leaves
in the world behind it the capital in
vested in it to accumulate and still
