e the house committee ou interstate

any would want 18 months after
aseage of the bill to complete the
to Hawaii and 18 more to complete
Japan.
Hereon of Tennessee said it had been
;ea that the Scrymser company was
mphathy with or had connection
England and English interests.
ser said that of course his company
expect to do English business.
rson said there should be inserted
bill a provision that the cable
any should not come under British
nee.
ymser referred to Swayne'a state
that Japan wanted no cable con'
n as ridiculous. He 'said that
ese and Chinese telegraph lines
dependent upon and controlled by
ussian lines. The Spalding com-
j he said, would build to Hawaii
uMMhltop. His line to Japan would save
people oi mat country more man a
on dollars in tolls.-
he Japanese," he said, "are flocking
Hawaii now. This country is going
ve a contest with the Japanese or
other power to control Hawaii. It
easary to have a cable line there as
as possible."
rymBer did not like the idea of leav-
he matter of the contract with the

it! "
Bai-km, Jan. 22 Serious trouble was
eatened this morning when the Davis
jnlzatiou met, but it was averted. A
Imber of assistant sergeant-at-arms
arn in by (he Benson organization
remained in the house all night and
a Davis, at 0;30, started to aeceud
i rostrum to call the house to order,
he was stopped by three of them, who
forbade him in the name of the. state of
Oregon to ascend. Davis asked by what
authority they refused to permit him to
take his chair. ( He was told that they
had been authorized by Speaker Benson
to allow no one to take the chair. Davis
repeated his question, and after it had
again been answered, called on the by
standers to witness what had passed.
He then went to the other side of the
rostrum, where the same proceedings
were had.
At this juncture a compromise was ef
fected by permitting Davis to take his
seat on condition that his house adjourn
before the Benson house was called to
order. The rollcall showed only seven
members present, namely : Davis, of
Umatilla ; Davis, of Multnomah ; Hill,
Lee, Riddle, Smith, of Linn ; U'Een.
The houBe then adjourned until 2 p.
m. tomorrow.
Adjourned 1111 Monday.
Salem, Or., Jan. 22. The Banson
house held a short, session, transacting
only business of a preliminary nature.
Contrary to expectation no formal no
tice was sent to the senate asking for
recognftion. The entire session seemed
to lack ginger. An adjournment was
taken till Monday forenoon, instead of
tomorrow, as was done by the Davis
house.
When the hour of 10 o'clock arrived,
all the members of the Davis house who
were present withdrew, and Speaker
Benson called his organization to order.
The iollcall showed thirty-one members
present, as follows :
Benson, Bridges, Brown, Buckman,
Chapman, Conn, Crawford, David,
Gratke, Gurdane, Hope, Hudson, Hunt
ington, Jennings, Lake, Langell, Marsh,
Merrill, Misener, Mitchell, Nosier,
Palm, Rigby, Smith of Marion, Somers,
Stanley, Thomas, Thompson, Vnughan,
Veness, Wagner.
After yesterday's journal had been
read and approved, it occurred to Rigby
that the proceedings ought to be opened
with prayer. He therefore moved that
Rev. G. W. Grannis be invited to invoke
divine blessing.
Thomas introduced a resolution that
"It is a startling fact that, almost
without exception, the adulterated
teas are dangerous to health. Some
of them are actually poisonous."
N. Y. Herald.
Yes; some not all. But
that isn't the point. You
drink tea because you like
it not because it is good
for you.
The wholesome tea is
also the best-tasting: Schil

the chief clerk and each member of the
house be furnished with a code and house
and eenate journals and session laws of
the last legislature. Tho resolution
further provided that all these copies
remain the property of the state and be
returned at the end of the session. The
resolution was adopted by a vote of
twenty-four to 6ix.
Those voting against the resolution
were Bridges, Chapman, Gratke, Hud
son, Misener, Rigby.
Hope then introduced a resolution
that when the house should reach the
order of business of the introduction of
bills the following procedure be had:
The speaker to introduce the first bill,
then the roll to be called, each member
to introduce one bill only. The resolu
tion was adopted.
The speaker appointed Lake, Hunt
ington and Bridges a committee of three
to prepare a schedule of wages for the
officers ond employes of the house.
The house then adjourned till 11:30 a.

KITES AT GOVERNOR'S ISLAND.
Lieutenant
Hugh Wine Made
Aacenslon.
a Kite
New YoRK,Jan. 22. Lieutenant Hugh
G. Wise, of the Ninth infantry on Gov
ernor's island, has just made the first
kite ascension ever successfully at
tempted in America. For six months
the lieutenant, entirely on his own re
sponsibility, has been studying and ex
perimenting with kites as a means of
assisting armies in warfare. The tan
dem system of specially constructed
kites ib intended to supplant the use of
balloons, which cannot live in gales.
The lieutenant's kites are cellular.
They consist of rectangular frames of
spruce. Cotton string and cotton cloth
in strips are stretched arouud the ends
of the frames, leaving both ends of the
rectangular framework open, and also
an open strip in the center.. Thus four
lifting surfaces and four guiding surfaces
are presented to the wind.
When the breeze freshened to a five-
mile-an-hour, the lieutenant was hoisted
fifty-two feet so that he could see over
the eaves of the officers' quarters and
down the bay. The force represented
by the pulling of the four kites is esti
mated at 400 pounds.
"I have studied the system of Profes
sor Langley, of the Smithsonian institu
tion ; Professor Markham, of the weath
er bureau, and Civil Engineer Chanute,
of Chicago, who are making special ex
periments in aerial locomotion with
aeroplanes," said Lieutenant Wiee.
'The experiment shows that kites are
serviceable in a gale which would tear a
balloon to pieces where it is desired to
observe the surrounding country and in
spect the maneuvers of an enemy. I at
tribute my success to a close view of the
methods of those who have studied the
subject, rather than to my own effort."
Captain Baden-Powell ascended nearly
100 feet in England, but he took a para
chute with him. Lawrence Hargrave
was hoisted by kites of 40 feet in Austra
lia. There are only three instances of
aeroplane ascension on record.

Navy Tleimrtmeut Receives a Report
ItegardluK It.
Washington, Jau. 22 The report re
ceived by the navy department of the re
cent trial of the British armored cruiser
Terrible, the most formidable ship of
her claes in the world, shows that this
vessel has made a remarkable record and
placed herself in the lead of all great
vessels of heavy armor and great dis
placement constructed for any uaVy.
The Terrible is regarded as the greatest
ship, both for speed and fighting com
bined, that has been undertaken, and,
with her sister ship, the Powerful, will
make a pair unequaled by any of the
great naval powers abroad.
Thee ships are each over 500 feet long,
and have engine power almost equal to
that of the Campania, besides carrying
an enormous armarnen),. and being pro
tected to a degree that practically makes
them first-class battle-ships.
Their construction was begun after the
completion of the New York, when the
British admiralty saw that the American
ship was by all odds the superior of any
type yet built, and that England re
quired just such vessels, having high
speei, powerful armament, and being
heavily pioteeted.
The cost of the vessels has been about
$4,000,000 each and they have been con
structed in a remarkably short time.

DRY THIN

Is due, in the majority of cases, to
imperfect action of the sebaceous
or oil glands. Deprived of its
proper nourishment, the hair be
comes harsh and brittle, the scalp
dry and scaly, and the roots choked
and lifeless in a hard, dry skin. The
purest, sweetest, and most effective
treatment is warm shampoos with
CUTICURA

followed by light applications of
Cuticura (ointment), the great

They clear the scalp and hair of
crusts,' scales, and dandruff, allay
itching, soothe irritation, heal erup

which feed on the hair, stimulate
the hair follicles, and supply the
roots with nourishment.
