Ilryan, of the rtato col lege, to the whratgrmers of Washing ton at their recent mwtlng In I'ullrnm, In which ho roeitcd varlossi observa tions lie had mode daring his recently completed trip abroad: "Tho one thing that Impressed mo whllo In Europe was tho fact that we Americans do not fully realize the greatness of our own land, and its op portunities, and the greatness and op Dorlunltles of our own people as com pared with our brethen In Europe. The opportunity for the average man Is so much greater that we can hardly con celve the difference. In Europe a rosn Is born In a clas from where he cannot cfcspo, and ho accordingly fits hlmrelf for that cmsg. There Is stratification after stratification, and it is practically Impossible for an Individual lo pass from class to class: and think that the freedom of the American pcoplo Is one of the greatest tilings which we have here. "In Italy tho poverty and distress were very interesting, although It ex died the greatest pity. It seemed as it there were no end of beggars. They begged In almost every way Imagina ble Whole families could bo seen begins tosether by means of musics! instruments. In ono case 1 noticed, a woman holding an umbrella upside down to catch the coppers, while the father played the guitar, and the child ren each played some soit of musical Instrument, and all were begging. Sev ern! husky looking fellows dived Into Uie sea to get coppers worth about a half cent, and begged the people to throw the coopers In. It seemed as 11 one-half ot the population lived off the ether half. "I was very much interested in the hone. The average horse In Paris for the heavy draft work Is a very good an imal Indeed, mere were great num bers ox magnificent Stallions that would have sold In this market for from two thcuaand to three thousand dollars. and they were all of a very high type. One thing that Impressed me both In London and Paris was that the average coach horse was a much larger fellow than we have been accustomed to see tor that work. I think that we people here In America should look toward breeding a larger animal that we have in the psit, and unless we watch our solves, we will be Inclined to breed down. In Naples there wero many cab horses, and about ninety per cent of the cab horses driven were stallions. On thing thst was very Interesting to me was thst they do not use the bit. They use an Instrument thst fits over the nose, and above the nostril Is apiece which extendi out about three Inches, and when pulling a horse to stop, they pull on the nose. "In going up the Tiber river north of Rome, almost every wagon that I met was being driwn by oxen, either by Undem, or with a yoke. Tho oxen were all very strong fellows, quite large, well built, and hsd huge horns rising above their beads. There did not seem to be the beet type ot cattle, nor wsa were any mil; type, i sup pose their cows, were, of course, rued for milking purpores, but they were not apparently bred to either type, but rathor to tha ox type. The poorer clsss ol Italians do not know whst It Is to have meat In any quantity. The average man Is.too poor to bo able to buy Deer, as tney wouia have to pay not leea than twenty-two cents a pound for IU Klda are used for flesh there a great deal. The swine there were very largo, and rather more ot the type ot the bacon bo than like our Dcrkthlrcs or Poland Chinas. They use coats' milk a great deal, and es pecially In Naples. In the morning you would see women and mm driving goats around from place to place, as the customer has the privilege or Hav ing the operation of milking performed In his presence. The goat siltcted Is milked, and In many coses you will see a goat being taken up In an elevator, or up a stairway, wherever the customer may be, and then mllkod In his pres ence. "In Italy the tillage Is ot a very In tensified kind. There, many of tho Italians have their own vegetable gar don, and raise their own vegetables. Here we pay twelve or fifteen cents a head for cauliflower, and In Italy you can buy a doxen head ot cauliflower for six cents, and that will make it clear why the Italian liable to llvo on a vegetable diet so well. The rxopla train their vineyards upon trees, and In many cases thero Is hardly any top to the trees, as they had been cut dewn to stumps for the vines to climb on. I did not get a decent apple to eat until I was on board the ship, and bad tome Oregon applos served to me." Eartrr, BUed In Tomatoes. Select round, oruooth tomatoes of uni form slse.

SENATOR KNEW FILINGS ILLECAL Burke and Qoslfn Indicted by District Attorney on Perjury Charge, But Never Frosscutsd. Portland, Jan. 28. Senator Fnltoai wss again dragged Into the conspiracy case of John H. Hall and Edwin Maya yeiterday by Special Proiecutor Ilency. Ily the testimony of W. E. Burke and William O. Ooslln, former sgenl for A. II. Hammond, timberland specu lator, and at one time president of th Astoria k Columbia Elver railroad, It was shown that late In 1809 and during; 1000 Fulton appeared as attorney for Durke and Ooslln and two others, who had been Indicted, by Hal! oa a charge ot conspiracy to defraud the govern ment by perjury. Burke and Ooslln lei tinea tost in September, 1899, they Induced 20 tran sient male residents of the North End to file on as many timberland claims for a consideration of $2 each for their services, with the express understand ing that the claims so Bled on mooia be held for a time and relinquished, when Burke and Ooslln, representa tives of Hammond, procured lien land scrip to cover the land Inclnded In tho relinquishments. Only tha prelimi nary facts by which Fulton, aa attorney for Hammond and his various Interests, will be associated with this traneactioa were brought out yesterday, but Heney promises by the Introduction of further evidence this monring conclusively to prove not only that Fulton appeared la a legal capacity tor the men Indicted, but that Hall, as United State attor ney, failed to prosecute the alleged per jurers, althoub he bad full knowledge of the unlawful filing. RAILROADS ASK FOR TIME. Want to Test Law Against Owning of Coal Mines. Washington, Jan. 2S-The operating vice presidents ot many of the large railroads of the country were received by President Roosevelt yesterday and presented a request that la execution what is known as the comity amend ment of tbs railroad rate law bill one case be brought sgalnst the roada by the government, this ease to be finally disposed of by the Supreme court ot the United 8Ut. This, it sgreed to by the government, would mean that the railroads owning-coal producing land would not sell them by May next, as required by law, but could operate them as heretofore until the disposal ot the test esses. The law In question Is regarded by the roada aa unconstitu tional. The president referred the railroad men to the Interstate Commerce corn mils tin, where It Is understood the quest Ion will be fully discussed and a report made to the president Set to the legal possibility ot carrying out tha suggestion made.
