HOUSE ADOPTS CLOTURE RULE Action Ends Long Filibuster on Claims Bill. WILL EXPEDITE BUSINESS Under the Provisions of the New Res- olution Appropriation and Other Measures Can Be Rushed Through Without Amendment After Forty Minutes’ Debate When Two-thirds of the House So Decides. ‘Washington, Feb. 21.—The great ma- jority of the Democrats in the house voted with the Republicans, 173 to 43, for the adoption of a rule providing that all house rules can be suspended on a two-thirds vote during the re- mainder of the session, so that appro- priation and other measures can be rushed through without amendment after forty minutes’ debate. The adoption of the rule, which was characterized by Mr. Bennet of New York as a ‘“gag,” had the effect of ending the three days’ filibuster against the omnibus war claims bill, which provides for the payment of $1,160,000 of war claims, but does not include any French spoliation or navy yard overtine claims. The claims bill was passed by a two- thirds vote. The ayes and nays were not demanded. The rule adopted by the house prac- tically puts the entire conduct of af- fairs for the next two weeks in the hands of the speaker. Quorum Is Present. As soon as the house convened the point of no quorum was made and a roll call ordered. The clerk reported 201 members present, a quorum. The reading of the omnibus bill for amend- ments was begun. Representative Roberts of Massa- chusetts, one of the new filibusterers, offered as an amendment the entire list of French claims and demanded the reading of the seventy printed pages. Mr. Mann made a point of or- der that the amendment -was not ger- mane. ‘While this point was pending Rep- resentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania brought in from the committee on rules a rule providing for the suspen- sion of the rules on all bills from now until the end of the session. ‘Whatever suspension is invoked it lmits all discussion to forty minutes on each measure.. Mr. Dalzell said the state of the public business required the adoption of the rule. Rule Helps Tariff Board. The sundry civil bill, which will soon be reported to the house by Rep- resentative Tawney, with an appro- priation of $400,000 for the purpose of the tariff board, is assured of passage under the terms of the gag rule adopt- ed in the house. The rule provides that measures may be passed under suspension of the rules, thus barring amendments and points of order. The house must accept the bill in whole if two-thirds of the house vote to take it up. The opposition to the tariff board provision, in order to defeat it, would have to defeat the bill in whole, thus forcing an extra session of congress regardless of what happens to Cana- dian reciprocity. The bill providing for a permanent tariff board now pending in the senate stands little or no chance of passing that body. It is therefore imperative if the adminis- tration desires to continue its inquiries into the tariff to carry the provision in the sundry civil bill. She Wanted Both. The matinee performance was about balf over when a distracted looking woman with a curly haired youngster of six sought out the man in the box office. “There are boxes on your chairs in there,” she began, “and they say drop a nickel in and get a box of candy.” “Yes, I see,” asserted tbe man in the hox office. “Well,” she continued indignantly, “1 dropped a nickel in for my little girl.” “And couldn't you get the candy?” queried the box office man. “Wait; I'll see if we can get it out.” “‘Oh, yes,” answered the woman; “1 got the candy all right, but I couldn’t get the nickel out.” And to the ticket man at least this remark furnished a more dramatic mo- went than any in the play.—Louisville Times.

Lions in Africa go bunting often 'in couples and then rather systematical- ly. When, for instance, a couple of llons have traced out u kraal—that is to say, a place fenced by small cut thorn trees, where flocks of asses or oxen, goats or sheep are shut up for the night--the lioness approaches cau- tiously. profiting by every tree or bush to hide herself. llon himself lies watching on the op- posite in the distance.

The clay pipe mude its appearance in England in the late ars of the sixteenth cen- tury. Writing about a century later, a French author vemarks that the English “invented the pipes of baked clay which are now used everywhere.” “Broseley, in Staffordshire, has been famous for its vipes and clay from the days of Elizabeth,” writes W. A. Penn in “The Soverane Herb.” “Now all the clay of which white pipes are manufactured comes from Newton Ab- bot and Kingsteignton, in Devon- shire. It is sent to all parts of Eng- land and ‘the world in rough lumps about the size of quartern loaves, weighing some twenty-eight pounds each.”—London Spectator.

They thought she was like the moon, be- cause she was more active at night and because her eyes changed like the moon. So they made: an idol with a cat’s bead anfl named it Pasht. The same nume they gave to the moon, for the word means “the face of the moon.” The word has been changed to “Pas” and “Pus” and has come at last to-be “Puss,” the name the' most.| of us give to the cat. | Colestial At the sume time the || oHNN'S REPLY | "INSATISFACTORY Russia Concentrating Force on the Frontier. DENANDS UNWARRANTED Empire Declares That to Grant Request of Czar’s Government Would Glve to the Latter a Com- mercial Monopoly in Mongolia, Epen to the Exclusion of Chinese Trade. St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.—China’s “ultimatum,” unsatisfactory in almost all of its conclusions, has been Te: ceived here. The answer falls so far short of Russia’s demands that the war office has already concentrated a large Rus- sian force on the frontier, preparatory to seizing the Kuldja district of Chi- nese Turkestan. China says that to grant Russia’s demand would give the latter a com- merciai monopoly in Mongolia, even to the exclusion of Chinese trade. The third article in Russia’s note deranded:. “Freedom to trade and liberty to travel and reside for.Russian subjects in Mongolia and territories behind the great wall.” China contends that this is an un- warranted extension of the idea of freedom of trade, particularly as Rus- sja demands exemption of taxation for her people. MAY ASK FOR INTERVENTION Waghingtor View of the Russo-Chinese Situation. ‘Washington, Feb. 21.—The Chinese government apparently has detemlned\ to.contest the demands. of the Russian government in the matter ot tension of trade relations and the rewcnmon of, special prlvfle;es in_the movinu of 1li, Northwestern China. The Chinese legation here has fn- formed the state department that the Chinese foreign office at Peking has addressed a mnote to the St. Peters- burg-foreign office, réplying to the ulti- matum threatening a military demon- stration in Turkestan. The Chinese note, in substance, is a sweeping denial of the charges made by the Russian government that China has violated the provisions of the treaty of 1881, so far as they relate to consular offices and the rights of Rus- sian merchants in thie Northwestern provinces of China. The Chinese legation so far has contented itself with supplying the state department with a brief state- ment of the Chinese reply and has asked further instructions from Peking before endeavoring to enlist the good offices of America in adjusting the dispute with Russia.

The Duration of a Dream. One evening Victor Hugo was die- tating letters to his secretary. Over- come by fatigue, the great man drop- ped into a slumber. A few moments afterward he awoke, haunted by a drsawa which, as he thought, had ex- tended over several hours, and he blamed his secretary ‘for sitting there waiting for him instead of wakening him or else going away. .What was his surprise when the bewildered sec- retary told him that he had only just finished writing the last sentence dic- tated to him.

Bdward Harrigan once said that the most. trying moment in his theatrical career occurred in New Orleans soon ‘after the civil war. He had gone south ‘with his company ‘and, yielding some- what to popular request, put on “The Blue and the Gray.” The play had been a success up north, but-down south, with the air still full of the bit- terness of the war, it was a dangerous experiment. . Tony Hart was to repre- sent the Confederate gray; so he hunt- ed up a uniform of the Louisiana Ti- gers, and when he came marching on, young, stalwart, handsome, the typical soldier boy in the beloved uniform, the house, men and women,. cheered and shouted and cried for all their heroes embodied in this boy. Harrigan, stand- ing in the wings in his northern blue, walting to go on, had just one thought —“They’ll kill me!” Then he stepped out, the embodiment of the enemy, and a cold, dead silence fell upon the house. Not a hand moved for him. The audience was tense with emotion, and there was only an instant to act 1f the play was to be saved. Harrigan, big, kindly, gdod looking, came swiftly down to the front and stepped over the footlight gutter, leaning down to them. “For the love of heaven, won't you give the Yankee a hand?” he ex- claimed. At once the house was caught and all ‘the pentup feeling turned the right way. There was a yell of ap- plause. RULE OF THE ROAD. Decided Abroad -by the Sword and Here by the Gun, Several travelers were seated in the hotel lobby discussing the difference in customs of the various countries they had visited. *‘What struck me as most peculiar abroad,” said one, “is the custom of keeping to the left instead of the right, as we do here. Why is the rule reversed?” . “I think I can explain that,” said a ‘reserved looking man in the corner. “In medieval and later periods abroad men were in the custom of weuaring swords. The sword was worn, as it is now,:on. the: left' side. Consequently in drawing their weapon it was done with the right band, and to get quick- upon guard a man had to have his r,nzht side to his oppohent; hence the om of keeping totthe left. “In, America when every man carried ‘his life in his hand'on account of sav- age:Indians all men’ carried guns. The pasiest and most natural way to carry a gun, either afoot or mounted, is over the left arm with the muzzle pointed outward, and it takes but a very slight movement to throw the butt agalnst the right shoulder. For that reason the early settlers kept to the right of the road so their weapon could in- stantly be brought to bear on any mark that was necessary.”—Philadel- phia Times. Romance of a Shadow.

DOUBT IT WILL BE CALLED Prediction Made That President Will Change His Mind When It Is Point- ed Out That Such Action “Would Invite a General Business Disaster” In the United States. i ‘Washington, Feb. 21.—That an ex- tra session invites a general business calamity is the answer of the old guard opposition to President Taft's plain ultimatum that an extra session will be called unless there is a vote in the senate on Canadian reciprocity before March 4. The president’s ulti- matum was conveyed o congress and the public by Representative McCall in an interview, given out after a con- ference between the Massachusetts representative and the president. Soon thereafter senate leaders got busy working up the bugaboo of im- pending disaster. They discused the matter among themselves and with newspaper men and they sent word to the White House that the presi- dent’s determination to call an extra session was virtually an invitation to serious trouble in the business world. They argued that the entire tariff question would be opened up by'the Democrats at an extra session and that there could be but one result of this, particularly since the business in- terests of the country had barely had time to compose themselves after the agitation and uncertainty incident to the em\ctment ot the Payne-Aldrich law. “President Taft doubtless thinks now that he will call an extra session “if the Canadian reciprocity agreement {8 not ratified by the senate, said one of the old guard leaders, “but I be- lieve that when he sees the certain result of this he will change his mind. 1 can’t believe that the president will | deliberately invite a general business disaster.” He Went.
