Rabbits are thus caught with equal ease, and when taken out of the trap* are found uninjured. To complete their purpose, the traps must be placed far down In the holes and be regularly visited early and late.

Signature of In Use For Over Thirty Years GASTORIA Weak Lunas B ro n ch itis eJ Monday, dan. 8. Washington, Jan. 8.—The senate to- today gave attention to the Panama canal, the situation in Santo Domingo and the merchant marine ahippiing bill. The canal bill question came up in connection with a message from the president, in which, among other things, he invited the closest scrutiny into all that bad been done by the gov ernment in the Isthmua of Panama. Gorman made that utterance the text for a speech, in which he criticised the salariée paid for work in connection with the canal, and urged congreasion- al inquiry. He mid that the president waa not ao much to blame aa congress for hie assumption of control on the isth mua, and that the chief mistake had been made when congress released its hold upon canal affairs. He agreed with Gorman in urging the rights of congress in connection with the canal, and mid that, while congress had dele gated the matter to the president, the latter practically had referred the whole matter back to congress. The senate took up the merchant marine shipping bill and Gallinger spoke in support of that measure. Quoting the utterances of Presidents McKinley and Rooeevelt on the im portance of building np the merchant marine, he nrged congress to heed these admonitions by passing a law that would relieve the situation. Gallinger estimated that the aggre gate expense to the government for the entire ten years of the proposed sub sidies would be $40,000,000, and that the amount being devoted to the en couragement of irrigation is many times larger. The senate then, at 4:13 P. M., went into executive session, and at 4:20 ad journed. Washington, Jan. 8. — With over an hoar devoted to the District of Colum bia, there was left but a half-hour to be devoted by the house today to tariff discussion. This was utilized by Sulli van, of Massachusetts, who spoke strongly for tariff revision from the Democratic standpoint. H IL L O N P H ILIP P IN ES. Occupies Attention of House Three Hours Telling What He Knows. Washington, Jan. 6.—In a session of five hours today, the house placed on record a speech in favor of the Philip pine tariff bill, one against it, and a 20 minutes’ talk for tariff revision accord ing to the Republican demand of Mas sachusetts. Hill, of Connecticut, oc cupied three hours, and waB listened to with the greatest interest in detailing the knowledge he gained from two visits to the Philippines, the last as a member of the party of Secretary Taft last summer. He paid particular at tention to the tobacco feature of the measure, and explained away much of the misapprehension as to the enor mous products that might be expected from the islands. Their territory, he said, was small, and the fertile lands still further limited. Mondell, of Wyoming, who has led the fight against the bill in the in terest of the beet sngar industry of this country, spoke vigorously against the measure and against the policy oi help ing the Filipino people by granting them open markets in the United States. He said the passage of this bill would be the death knell of the beet sugar industry in the United States. The abolition of the tariff on hides was pleaded for by Lawrence of Massa chusetts, who presented the position taken by the Republicans of that state. Information regarding immigration from Austro-Hungary contained in re ports by Marcus Braun was asked for from the secretary of commerce and labor.
