• JEFFERSON VALLEY ZEPHYR. VOLUME 1. WHITEHALL, JEFFERSON COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1;9 7 17 NUMBER 5. CAPITOL HALLS BARE Senators and Representatives De- sert the City. GONE TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS Only n Free Couteeletereateu Remain to smote the Work for the Short Sessien. Washington, D. C., Dee. 24.--\Qe cap- itol was practically demeD5...ff .- L - 046y. Only a few rambling sight -seers, the capitol police and now and then a stray senator and representative woke the euhoes of its spacious corridors. The charm of the festivities of Christmas at home was the magnet that had drawn every one who could leave the congressional grist mill. Only mem- bers and senators going far west and those whose homes are In Washington remained here. Several of them were at their desks for a shdrt time today exam- ining their mall, but they had put their congressional labors behind them and matters congressional were in a state of suspended animation. Speaker Crisp was in his room In the hall of representatives about noon dic- tating answers to letters, but he was almost the only member in the vicinity of the capitol today. Senator Black- burn says the senate committee on rules, of which he Is chairman will not take up the question of cloture or any subject until the first. SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATIONS. The sub -committee of the house ap- propriations committee was today in session considering the sundry civil bill. Director Wolcott of the geological survey and Commissioner Lamoreux of the genetal land ()Mee were before the commission explaining to the delegates for their respective bureaus and were questioned as to the advisability of re- ducing expenditures Both maintained that the estimates were as low as they thought judicious. They were also asked as to the recommendations that survey of public lands be made, under the discretion of the secretary by the geological survey instead of by the con- tract system, through different states. This should be discussed by Secretary Smith with both these officers befort recommendations were made, and they were In favor of a change. They so as- sured the committee today Assistant Secretary Hamlin ,.f th , treasury departmept also appeared be- fore the committee and urged that full - - 411g&h t 1B i rie set and be made for all estlinate• for Alaska. especially the United States custom,. eervice. Mr Hamlin last summer vie Bed the Pacific aelant and Alanka 11F well and was asked hi give the corn reinter the assurance that the estimate/. made by the treasury were absolutely necessary for Chinese exclusion and that the revenue would he increase,. by the better service asked ter in Alas ka. It was the intention of the sub committee to have the sundry civil hill ready to lay before the full committee after the holidays. - r - NU. PERCIOS WII I. SE WEALTHY.

There Is a belief In India that certain of the cobra carry about In their mouths a small shining stone which they place In the grass after dark, keeping a care- ful guard over it by a quick swaying to and fro of their dangerous heads. This was not believed for a long time by Europeans, until a native pointed out to a well-known scientist the stone shilling front the mitlet of the grass, anti the cobra keeping guard over it. The atone was secured by a clever de- vice oh the part of the native and given to the professor, who examined it and found It to be a semi -transparent water worn pebble of yellowish veto'', about the size of a large pea, which In the dark when previously warmed emitted a greenish plemphoreecent variety of fluor spar. The scientist gives the following ex- planation/4 of this curious behaviour tor the part of the cobra: The female fire' fly sits on the grass and emits an inter- mittent glowing light, as an attraction to the male tIrefliee, that in consequence fly about her. The cobra is particularly fond of fireflies, and uses the fluor spar stone RS a decoy for the males, unit ac the males fly around the stone, which they mistake for the female, the cobra, by the rapid aarting to and fro of his neck, catches them and makes a good dinner for himself. The scientist explains that the cobras made the discovery by accident, as they noticed night after night thtt flrefilert hovered about the shining pebble. Several snakes would then gather and it required no great reasoning pow- ers for the cobra to learn that the near- er it got to the stone the better chance would there be of its catching fireflies. and so the law of competition would lead to the snake's seizing and caroling off the stone. The habit thus slowly learned from experience has become he- reditary. MORTAR ATTEMPTS A bEFENSE. Democratic. Chestnute for the Agricul- turist. to Digest. Washington, Dec. 24. -Secretary Mor- ton's attention was today called to the fact that he was being criticised, and especially by some of the grange papers, tor the statement contained 'none of the paragraphs which appeared toward the ;'lose of hie report. The secretary said: \Admitting that the American farmer would get twice as much in silver as he would for gold, if we were on a silver basis, would he not have to pay for ev- •rything which he is compelled to pur- 'base twice aa much as he has to pay now; or Is it understood that free coin- age will be like a protective tariff -so tdjusted am to raise the price of all the farmer sells and lower the price of all ne has to buy?

Advices from Brooks county today say that two negroes were killed in the rioting there yesterday, instead of seven an at first reported. A Quitman special to the Journal says the whites are still highly incensed and are patrolling the settlement fully armed in search of Waverly and Pike, the negroes whose brutal slaughter of Isom last week started the trouble. There is danger Of other lives being sacrificed before they are captured. Two blacks lynched yes- terday were not implicated in Pike's crime, and were apparently slain be- cause they would not reveal his where- abouts. WIGOINS 4 1E3 SAFE.

The Problem of the Next Century - \Nod tug to Arbitrate. \The great prelblem which the next century will have seriously to take in hand and finally solve is this,\ writes Frederick Harriet:at in the Forum: \Are rich men likely tO prove of, airy real so- cial use, or will it be better for society to abolish the institution' I see manly ways In which they can be of use, and 1 earnestly Invite them to convince the public of this before it is too late The day may come when the world will have agreed to abolish rich men altogether as an obsolete institution. And eertaln- ly tio anarchist or communist Is working so desperately to hurry on that day as are the rich men themselves.\ \We have nothing to arbitrate,\ said the Railway Managers' Association.

During the re- cent spinners' strike In Fall River and New Bedford tele attempts to bring about friendly conferences between the employers and the workers -attempts made by the mayor of New Bedford in oue instance and by the Massachusetts state board of mediation in the trthte - • were failures because the stiff-necked employer° would not respond te the in- vitations. In New York city the cloak manufacturers \declined wttti thanks\ the tender of mediatory serviees made by the einntell of mediation and eonelli- Hun. The employes were willing and ready to submit the case. The manu- facturers \presumptively”- In legal parlance --had no defentie to make, therefore they kept out of eourt.
