OF $25,000 Bllj Introduced According to Gover nors Suggestion and Committee . Reports Favorably After Hear ing Commissioner Mclsaac SPRINGFIELD, 111.. Jan. 31. (Special.) Governor Deneen today sent to the two houses a message embodying an Invita tion to visit the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion at Portland, Or., and recommending: that a reasonable appropriation b6 made by the State of Illinois for representation at tho Fair. A bill was Introduced by Representative Pogue In the House this morning appro priating $25,000 for an Illinois building and exhibit at the Lrfswls and Clark Exposi tion. It was read before the committee, and Colin H. Mclsaac, commissioner gen eral of the Exposition, made an address. Hd touched upon the Centennial Exposi tion, the pans and scopo and the mar velous progress of the Pacific seaboard, stating that It. would be the first interna tional Exposition under the patronage of the United States Government to be held west of tho Rocky '3Iouhtains. He said that there were . H.000,000 people in that section of the country who are directly Interested In making the Exposition the true exponent of Its materlaf progress and development. The committee took favorable action on tho bill. PASSING OF "VEST." Medical Men Attack Man's Trustiest Qarment. New York Evening Sun. In a foreign paper the other day I hap pened upon an attack on that best-beloved of man's garments, the waistcoat. There may be those who would question that laudatory phrase. Centuries have so Accustomed us to the waistcoat that only when wo arc in danger of having It taken away Is Its real dearness to us brought clo.e home. Is It not tho last bit of orna ment that convention allows to man, the one bright -pot In the unsightly costumo that time has woven about him? If al lowed but a single garment, if uninflu enced by modesty and the weather, would he not cjlng to it? Into retirement with it would go his choicest treasures, the heavy watchchaln that he festoons across his bow, 'his fountain pen, his pocket comb, a half dozen other precious trln Jteta, for, besides affording a few square lot for the display of color and design, It Is a perfect storage warehouse for his most personal belongings. Now a hue and cry is being raised against It. At first only Its faint echoes are coming to us, but when It rings fuller and stronger, when the hunters of germs, the men of science hurl themselves uponus to di vest us, then we will realize more fully what thjs little garment lias done to make life more worth living, though It may be shortening it, But man will not part with It without a struggle Via ai now being told that It Is illogical and unsanitary. But man Is only logical and sanitary by com pulsion, and it is not altogether dream ing to fancy the day when there will be r "waistcoat squad" In the Health Board enforcing anti-waistcoat ordinances. The articlo first referred to announced that a great English school, one of these thoroughly up-to-date institutions, had ordered its boys to abandon the abbrevi f Med garment, and the discussion evoked in the medical profession by the rule showed that this drastic action mot the general approval of physicians. What is the indictrrient? Say's one physician: "The waistcoat re stricts the development of the chest and induces all manner of pulmonary dls- cases. It is most Illogical In Its build. The chest In the healthy man Is the ptrongpst part of the frame, -white the re gion of tho back that lies between the flhoulder blades Is most susceptible to cold. Yet we wear a heavy pad of cloth over the chest and a bit of thin linen over the back. Really, to be of any service the waistcoat should be fumed around." This does sound reasonable The most dressy politician would admit it There is, however, a ray of hope In tho reply of the tailor. He has rushed to the defense of tho maligned garment. He scoffs. He says: "There la a hygienic reason for the garment. The coat -covers tho hack and i3 generally worn ppen In front. The waistcoat is there to protect the chest. The coat would not hang right at all if the waistcoat were made entirely of cloth. A man' would look stuffed. The linen back gives style to the fit.--' OBJECT TO MALHEUR BILL. "Senators Debate Measure Allowing Condemnation of-Private Lands. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ashlngton, D. C, Jan. 31. Senator Ful ton today endeavored to secure tho passage of his bill authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to condemn lands in private ownersnlp. which may he deemed necessary as part of any National Irrigation project, his aim be ing to secure authority to buy up wag on road lands which lie under the Mal heur project In Oregon, and which, without legislation, threaten to defeat this project. Senator Teller objected to the bill on the ground that It was unfair to owners of private land, and Senator Heyburn interposed, further objection on the grounds, as he stated. that the proposed law would be unconstitu tional. Senator Heyburn said that to at tempt to acquire wagon road lartds by condemnation would require seven years. He said the Malheur project could be- constructed regardless of tficse lands. . On this poi,nt the reclam ation service differs with him. Senator Fulton will again press his bill at an opportune time. NOT THE WAY TO GET EVEN. Williams Again Champions Miles, Though He Shackled Jeff Davis. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The treat ment by General Nelson A. Miles of Jefferson Davis. President of the Con federacy, during the time he was a prisoner at Fortress Monroe. Ya., was recalled in the House today when Will iams (Dem., Miss.), the minority lead er, tried to secure the adoption of the Senate amendment to the House pro vision regarding retired officers serv ing with the state militia. Hull (Rep., la..), and Hay (Dem., Va.), both mem bow oihe miiitary. affairs commit tee. Indorsed 'the House provision, which Is retroactive. Williamn spoke Of the aotion of General Miles In plac inzr shackles on the ankles of Jefferson: Davis, but said he' did not thlnir it was the time, the place, nor the way to get even. Williams motion to agree to the Senate amendment, which Joes not make the law; concerning retired offlcrs retroactive, was lost, 79 to 171. Tho bill was -then sent to conference. The postoffloe appropriation bill was debated for an hour, but its consider ation hud not been concluded when the House adjourned. The Houso adopted a resolution of fered by Fitzgerald (N. Y.), calling on tho Secretary of the Navy for in formation regarding the Inequality in t,he amount of armor plate delivered for the battleships .Connecticut and Louisiana. All Senate amendments to the Army Appropriation bill were disagreed to and tho bill was jwnt to conference. A protracted debate arose over a mo tion by Williams, the minority leader, to accept with a slight modification the Sen ate substitute for the House amendment relating to retired officers serving with militia regiments. Williams reiterated his belief that the original House amendment was directed at Lleutenant-General Nel son A. Miles, Inspector-General of Massa chusetts. Hull and Hay opposed the Senate amendment, the former disclaiming that lb had special reference to General Miles. 'He said that, if General Miles had died six months ago, the amendment would have been, offered just the same. Williams, replying to both Hull and Hay, said that he wag not at all afraid of the covert attack op his Democracy. "I am not," he said, "afraid ofmy loyalty or fealty as a Southerner. liMslIke so much to stay under covcj- that we might as well come out. I share the feeling that Southern .gentlemen .generally entertain regarding- General Miles' conduct when he put the. .shackles on the ankles of Jeffer son Davis, and I do not believe It will sound In history to his credit or that It will sound In. history to the discredit of Mr. Davis that he was compelled to submit-to it. old and helpless and sick as he was at the time. If this legislation had been pointed at anybody else than Gen eral Miles, I would have taken tho same course that I have taken, except that 1 would have taken It much moro anxiously and much more warmly. If you want to punish General Miles or anybody else for what was done in those days; if history Is to hold out its condemnation, all right, but this is not the time nor the place nor the way to get even. The people of the South don't punish in little ways like that." The Williams amendment and motion were lost, 79 to 17L The other amend ments were then nonconcurred in and the bill sent to conference. After adopting the conference report on the Philippines government bill, the House resumed consideration of the Post office appropriation bill. The bill was laid aside and the Houso adjourned. OUTLOOK IN THE SENATE. Few Determined Men Can Prevent Passage of Railroad Bill. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 1. A Senator who has -usually been credited with being a railroad man, on account of the fact that he has been an attorney for some of the biggest roads in tho country, speaking of the prospects of railroad legislation at this session of Congress, said that it had narrowed itself down to a question whother "two or three men in the Senate shall hold up legisla tion demanded by the President and the people." It is his opinion, also, that It would be very unfortunate If the House should send over a good bill, to have it defeated Tjy the Senate, either through a combination or because other Important business made it impossible to secure action on the measure. Of course, the Senate could, if it" want ed, pass the bill. It ought not to take moro than a day to perfect the bill sat isfactorily. If it is carefully drawn in the first place.. That will be rushing legisla tion, something tho Senate is not accus tomed to. It therefore simply resolves itself Into a question Of determination, and if any number of Senators, three or half a dozen, want to defeat a railroad bill, they will do it. Perhaps if all tho other Senators were determined to keep the Senate in session, night and day until they secured a vote, they might be able to do so. But the trouble Is that those who are determined to defeat the bill can gather recruits from a few men who would co vertly aid them, but who would not open ly vote against the bill, and In this way a few men pronouncedly against railroad legislation would be able to defeat the bill in the limited time that remains of the present session. TOWNS -ON IRRIGATED LANDS French Proposes to Sell Lots and and Water Rights for Fund. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, D. C, Jan. 3L Representative French, of Idaho, today Introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary or the Interior to withdraw from entry any public lands needed for townalte purposes In connec tion with any Irrigation project under the National Irrigation law and to subdivide them" into lots.

EXPERIENCE DECIDES BATTLE Little Damage Done to Last Round, When Neill Sends Hyland Down Again and Again Until He Cannot Arise. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31. It took Frankle Nell, bantam cx-champlon, 15 rounds to knock out "Dick" Hyland. who made his debut tonight from the amateur ranks. It was a fight between a seasoned ring general and a youngster, game as possible, strong and willing, but lacking la experience. Except for one or two of the earlier rounds. Nell held a good lead on points. Throughout the fight. Hyland. however. THE CHICAGO HKsKsBaV f1ScM issfliBssi 70HANX HOCIT, HUSBAND OF MANX WIVES. would brighten up and land some telling blows, often rushing Nell to the ropes. But Nell's coolness was never In jeopardy and bis clever footwork always carried him out of danger. Beyond a bruised eyo, which each of the fighters accumulated early In the contest, no particular dam age was done up to the last round. In this round .Nell went at his man de liberately but relentlessly. A left swing to tho jaw sent Hyland to the floor for tho count. Wrben he arose he was prac tically helpless and was sent to the mat again. Game to the last, he arose, stag gering blindly, and faced his antagonist. There were cries of "Stop it" from all over the building, but Hyland's seconds refuse to intervene and Nell sent hlra down and out. After ten rounds of terrific milling the preliminary between Jack Cordell and Joe Angelli was declared a draw. Emperor of India Is First. LOS ANGELES, Cal..

Sends Protest Against Belshaw Bill to California Executive. United States District Attorney Fran, els J. Heney yesterday sent the follow ing telegram, as a private citizen of California, to Governor Pardee, In pro test against the passage of the Belshair bill, recently Introduced In the Califor nia Legislature, providing for the relief of purchasers of state lands. The act Introduced Is In line with the law pass ed In this state by which the Northern Pacific Railroad secured hundreds of thousands of acres of the best timber land In the state. The telegram said: Portland. Or.. Jan. 31. Hon. George Par dee. Governor of California. Sacramento: My attention has Just been called to Sen ate bill No. 8. introduced by Senator Bel shaw. January 0. entitled "an act for the relief of purchasers of state lands by legal izing applications heretofore made for the purchase of such lands and to confirm the title of purchasers thereof." The obvious effect or such a law will be to legalize the gross and extensive frauds which have been perpetrated upon the Stato of California by Hyde. Benson and others. In securing reboot lands within proposed forest reserves. I have In my possession overwhelming e"vl denco establishing the fact that moro than 100.000 acres of school lands within forest reserves were obtained by fraudulent ap plications, which the state can recover by proper cults. I will gladly furnish the evt denco to cstablUh these facts whenever It is desired A law ought to be passed for feiting all payments made to the state for lends whenever It Is made to appear that fai representations were made In the appli cations accompanying the urn, and a law ought to be enacted which will enable the state, to exercise Its right to make lieu se lections where Its school and other lands are placed in a. forest reserve, and Its lands within forest reserves should be withdrawn from sale ipso facto upon the withdrawal of the surrounding lands from entry by the United States preparatory to the creation of forest reserves. The passage of such a law would enable the state to acquire valuable timber lands in lieu of Its worth less school lands whenever the latter are Included In a forest reserve. 1 respectfully urge you to do all In your power to prevent the Belshaw bill and all similar " measures from becoming law.

What a Family of Five Learned. From Their Mother. St. Nicholas. The woodchuck family best known to me was the one that lived by the old rail fence just back of the orchard on my father's farm. The mother Introduced herself one morning In tho latter part of May, Just as old Rover and I had started out for a day's fishing. As she fled at our approach, Rover followed and dis closed to me the burrow Into which she had fled. Moro than one day's sport I got out of that burrow. I took caro that Rover didn't go with me when 1 made my visits, and, instead of digging out the inmates, boy-fashion, I waited for them to come out of their own accord. Several times the old woodchuck appeared; but. feeling sure that there were "more to follow," I patiently watched and waited. Finally my patience was rewarded, for one fine morning flvo little cubs came tumbling along the narrow passage after their mother to the entrance of the burrow, and looked with their great, beautiful brown eyes upon the outside world. What a marvelous surprise it must, have been to them to view the green grass and the beautiful (lowers! When satisfied that there was no dan ger lurking in the immediate vicinity, the mother led the way into the grass, fol lowed by the cubs, which tumbled along in haste to keep close to her. They tried to Imitate her in everything; and when she nibbled a clover leaf, they followed her example; and soon the sharp little teeth had learned to cut the Juicy leaves. The real object of their first outing was soon accomplished that of filling their stomachs and then they began playing about In the grass, very much like pup pies, but the mother was .careful not to let them wander far from the en trance of their home, for If her trained car caught the sound of something ap proaching she would hustlo the Utile ones Into the burrow. Once tho cubs had traveled only a part of tho passage before they heard tho deep breathing of the dog at the mouth of the tunnel. The exertion and excitement must have made their lit tle hearts beat fast, and for tho first time In their lives they learned what It was to be frightened. This was only the beginning of their education; for day after day- they came out of the burrow, and when they scram bled back something had been added to tholr little stock of woodchuck knowl edge. A part of this knowledge was ob tained by copying their mother, but by far the greater part came through in stinct and experiences of their own. Some attention was given to the art of climbing trees and fences, for from ele vated positions they could command a much more extended view of meadow and woodland. Yes. woodchucks really climb fences and small trees, though their first attempts are very clumsy. Never a day passed that the llttl woodchucks did not Cured of Bronchitis Letter From Prominent Milwaukee Man Published by Request of Our Local Druggists, Wood ard, Clarke &. Co.

SHAKESPEARE'S LATIN". Evidence Adduced to Prove That Shakespeare Knew Classics Well. Herbert W. Horwill. in January-March Forum. The denial to Shakespeare of ac knowledge or the cjasslcs Is, as Mr. Col lins reminds us in his first sentence, among the traditions which the world appears to have made up its mind to ac cept without Inquiry, and which, by a strange superstition, seem to be exempted even from debate. This belief ho now as sails, maintaining that Shakespeare could almost certainly read Latin with as much facility as a cultivated Englishman of our own time reafls French: that with some at least of the principal Latin clas sics he was Intimately acquainted; that through the Latin language he had access to the Greek classics, and that of the Greek classics in the Latin versions he had, In til probability, a remarkably ex tensive knowledge. An argument which extends to nearly a hundred pages, most of which are taken up by tho citation of evidence, cannot v.cll be summarized In a few lines, hut It3 general course may perhaps be sufficient ly indicated. Mr. Collins begins by bring ing to light the Instability of tho foun dation on which the common tradition is based. To Ben Jonson, he suggests, "small Latin and less Greek" would con note what It would connote to Scaliger or to Casaubon; it meant simply that Shakespeare was not a scholar in the technical, academic and. one might al most say., pedantic sense. Next, by use of the data of the history of education In England, we are shown the typical curriculum of such grammar schools of the time a3 that which Shakespeare at tended at Stratford-on-Avon. and we thus find that Latin was normally a part of the course, with Greek frequently, the lat ter depending mainly upon the character of the head mooter. There Is reason to believe that the classical teaching at Stratford-on-Avon was above the average. After the ground has thus been pre pared for the Inquiry. Mr. Curton Col lins proceeds to the evidence afforded by Shakespeare's own writings. His first point Is that Shakespeare, with minute particularity of detail, based a poem and a play on a-poem of Ovid and a comcdy of Plautue, which he must have road In tho original, as no English translations, so far as we know, existed at the time. He certainly makes out a strong case for this connection, one's only hesitation be ing that indued by the proviso, "so far as we know." Illustrations are then given of Shakespeare's knowledge of certain writings of Seneca, Horace, Juvenal, Per slus, Lucretius and Cicero, which also appear to have been accessible only in the originals, as well as of passages in Plato, accessible -only In Latin versions. A further most Interesting argument Is drawn from a collection of parallel pas sages showing that. In many instances," when an English translation of a Latin writer was In his hands, Shakespeare made use not only of the translation but of the original as well. Investigation of Senate Scandal.
