TOASTS .OF THE TAILORS Annual Banquet Last Night of the Ex- change. Guests Entertnined at a Pleasant Dinner—A Night of Speeches and Song. ‘To the accompaniment of a most excellent crchestra, and ranged around a long and beautifully decorated table in a private dining room of the Releigh, the members of the merchant taiiors’ exchange of this city and a mumber of guests ate, drank and were merry until an early hour this morning. The appointments and the more material features of the feast were unex- ceptionally good; the speeches and songs exceeded expectations. Starting in at 9 o’clock, the thirty-five members and guesis enjoyed thoroughly the menu and the pro- gram, and, although the merchant tailors have had other banquets, they united in declaring, when the party broke up, that in spite of the disappointment caused by the absence of some of those wno had promised to respond to toasts, the dinner was a greater success than any of its predeces- sors. Mr. F. J. Heiberger was toastmaster, and he performed the delicate duties pertalaing to that position in a most admirable man- rer, nis remarks introducing the various speakers and songsters being. pertinently humorous. The speech of welcome was made, of course, by Mr. George O, Wood, president of the exchange; it was a brief speech, but had a good deal in it, for when Mr. Wood sat down it was evident to every one of his hearers that the merchant tailors’ ex- change was a good thing; that its banquets were altogether desirable, and that every-, Led present was expected to enjoy him- self. Vice President C. C. F. Eichler cf the nationzl exchange—and incidentally of Bal- timore—discussed ‘The Great Sartorial Goose” without, however, proving that that bird possessed any qualities likely to result in his supplanting the eagle as the nation's feathered representative. When Mr. Eichler sat down, Mr. F. C. Losano, secretary of the local exchange, got up. Mr. Losano sang; sang tw: because the program demanded i second time because the compan: is ‘The encore selected was “The Sunshine of Paradise Alley,” in the chorus of which several vocalists, and some were not vocal- ists, joined heartily “My Tailor’: * was the topic discussed by Mr. Geo. H. Harries, who, in the course ef his remarks, advanced several proposi- tions as to the keeping and rendering of acceunts, which would be extremely pepu- Jar amorg all classes of people, except those who make their living by the selling of clothes. : There was a hearty welcome for Presi- dent “Mat” Keifer of the Baltimore ex- change, for Mr. Keifer is an old. e fa- vorite who always commands a_hearing and has a habit of saying deeply inter- esting things in a deeply it.teresting way. One of the members of the Baltimore contingent, Mr. Claus, treated the com. to two finely-rendered vocal sel the encore, “The Battle Praye: applauded with especial enthusi m. @ New Woman” was depicted by Mr. John A. Griffith, who, by the way, is not an aémirer of that variety of the female sex. Mr. Griffith pleaded for the cause of the old woman, by which, of course, he meant the young old woman, and the ex- change and its guests promised vocifer- cusly to stand by him to the last in his Warfare against the bloomer-clad mascu- line-femi a arty was called upon to give the assembla his views on cutting, but Mr. Moriarty refused tobe bound down 1 the regulations;®he turned him- self loose with a string of amusing stori told as only he could tell them. Mr. Mor- jarty was the oratorical star of the even- x, for he succeeded in knocking out every ort de by envious auditors to throw lim off the track. Treasurer E. H. Snyder and Chairman Owen Owen of the executive committee spoke briefly but pointedly, and then, after the diners had by rising vote thanked the Raleigh management for the special ef- forts which had been made to make the crowd comfortable, the annual banquet of the exchange came to an end. The more conspicuous of the absentees were missed. Representative Amos Cum: mings was down to respond to “Our Flag but Mr. Cummings did net put in an ap- pearance, nor was any excuse received from him. Mr. E. B.

Statement of Mr. Balfour in the House of Commons, Mr. T. G. Bowles, conservative, asked the government in the British house of com- Mons yesterday if notice had been taken of the statements in the Spanish press that in the event of war between Spain and the United States Spanish privateers would prey upon American commerce, and wheth- er, in view of the complications and in- juries British trade would suffer from such an event, or in the case of war between Great Britain and a country which had not acceded to the declaration of Paris the government would consider the whole ef- fects of the declaration of Paris and the advisability of Great Britain withdrawing therefeom. The first lord of the treasury, Mr. A. J. Balfour, in reply, said that the govern: ment does not question Spain's right in the matter, but, in view of the fact that no teers have been used in any war since even by the powers ‘not acceding to the declaration of Paris, and that the doc- trine that a neutral flag covers enemies’ gcods, except contraband of war, bas been generally accepted during recent years, it way be doubted if Spain would actually re- scrt to such measures. This answer, however, did not satisfy Mr. Eowles, and he pressed Mr. Balfour for a more explicit reply, whereupon the first lcrd of the treasury said that an expres sion of opinion at the present momeni ight be inexpedient. He had consulted with the admiralty Sand his collezgues on the subject, and believed he was correct in saying there had been a general acceptance by all the powers, though not as a formal treaty, that a neutral flag covers enemies’ goods except contraband of war. Riotous Demonstrations Continue. Further demonstrations -of students against the United States as a result of the Cuban resolutions of Congress have oc- curred in Spain. At Corunna 200 students belonging to the university joined in a pa- rade, cheered for Spain and burned an American flag. The police, however, suc- ceeded in preventing the rioters from ap- proaching the United States consulate. At Alicante the mayor and police, while dispersing a similar anti-American demon- stration were pelted with stone: A num- ber of policemen sustained injuri Another Weyler Proclamation, Captain General Weyler of Cuba has is- sued another proclamation, the terms of which indicate g purpose to further soften the severity of the proclamations he issued soon after his arrival. ‘This latest official edict provides that all persons captured up to date in the prov- inces of Havana and Pinar del Rio who are suspected of having been members of a rebel band, should they, of their own free will, deny that they belonged to such band, will be liberated in every case, pro- vided they give their promise before two | witnesses to be loyal to the Spanish cause, and provided also that no one appears against them to offer charges of any other crimes. 8.

The Bill as Amended aiid Passed by the Sengteis The Senate yesterday ‘@ftérnoon, on mo- tion of Mr. Hansbrough, ‘pased the bill, 8. 1922, creating an art commission, after it had been amended in séveral particulars. Mr. Hoar asked why artist#‘and sculptors were to be excluded froin ‘the membership of the commission, an@;My, Hansbrough arswered that this was sdone because “artists and sculptors run in schools, and each school would be pfejificed in favor of such works of art a8 came from it.” Mr. Hoar declared his belief shat the great superiority of France imomedern times in its modern monuments, publi¢ works “of art and architecture both, publté statues, me- mortal statues, and so/on,tegrows out of the fact that they called into the service of the government in making the selection of those works eminent artists. “They al- Ways find that artists who, as they say, have won their spurs,” he continued, “are impartial and admirable judges, and that they have at heart the best interests of art and of the country; and the criticism which the Senator from North Dakota suggested does not apply. Now, once or twice within my knowledge there have been called in as advisers in such matters 8t. Gaudens and Mr. Richard Hunt, who recently died, both eminent artists of the city of New York. Their advice has been of the great- est value. I should be very seriously in- clined to move an amendment striking out those words and leaving the appointments to the discretion of the appointing power.” “Iz the Senator will read section 2 of the bill.” answered Mr. Hansbrough, “he will find that it does not pertain in’ the least to statuary to be located in the various parts of Washington. It 1s confined ex- clusively to statuary and works of art which are to be placed in the Capitol build- ing and the new library building. It does not relate in the least to statues to be lo- cated about fhe city.s That ts to be done by another p¥ocess altogether.” Mr. Hoar moved to strike out the clause excluding artists and sculptors, and the amendment was accepted. Mr. Hoar fur- ther moved to amend by striking out the requirement that the commissioners shall be men “eminently distinguished in litera- ture and the fine arts.” He said that the very best man in America for such a pur- pose might not chance to be distinguished in literature, and the amendment was ac- cepted; also one requiring the commission to convene innually instead of semi-an- tually. The bill, as it goes to the House, reads thus: “That there be, and hereby is, created a body, which shali be known and designated as the art commission of the United States, to consist of five persons who shall be citizens of the United States. Selections for membership in said commission shall be made in the following manner, to wit: One member to be named by the President of the United States for a term of sixe years; two by the Senate, one for a term of two years and one for a term of four years, and two by the House of Represen- tatives, one for a term of two years and ene for a term of four years; and after the expiration of the terms above prescrib- ed, the term of office of each commissioner shall be for six years. The said commission shall be invested with the duties and priv- ileges jhereinafter mentioned. That it shall be the duty of said com- mission to convene annually in the clty of Washington, for the purpose of examining the art collections in the Capitol and the Corgressional Library buildings, and also to inquire into the condition and make in- spection of the Congressional Library proper, and to examine all works of art and valuable historical records and manu- scripts offered for sale or as a donation to the United States for use ta the Capitol or Congressional Library buildings. Upon completion of such exantination, inquiry and inspection as aforesaid; it shall be the further duty of the said’ commission to make annually a report of their findings, vith such recommendations as the commis. sion may deem proper, to the Senate and House of Representatives. ut it shall be the duty of the librarian of Congress to designate suitable rooms in the Library building as .a. permanent meeting piace for the said commission and their successors. The librarian shall also assign a page and a messenger to do duty in connection with the work and to be un- der the control of the commission while the same is in session.” i BOOTH TUCKER With His Wife Will Command the American Salvation Army. The anticipated appointment of Commis- sioner and Mrs. Booth Tucker to command the Salvation Army in America was an- nounced from London last night in a mes- sage to Commissioner Eva Booth from Bramwell Booth. It was at the close of a largely attended meeting of the auxiliaries in the large. memorial hall in New, York, when Commissioner Eva, who had just, fin- ishéd speaking,’ was handed the following cablegtamt fromi London: “The general has appointed Commissioner and Mrs. Booth Tucker to the United States. He is praising God continually for the fidel- ity of the American officers and soldiers, and relies with perfect confidence upon their deVotion to the flag and their advance in the war under their new commander.” . Commissioner Carleton, the late envoy to this country from international headquar- ters in London, presided over the meeting, and in doing so indulged in’a lengthy state- ment in reference to the dissension in the army in America. There was considerable singing, which Eva Booth said: “It causes me pain to have to refer to the umstances which brought me here. I am your commander, and he (Balling- ton Booth) is my own dear brother, and I desire to say that the last sad step which he has seen fit to take has not in the least shaken his sister's love. We were cradled in the same cot, and we offered our first prayer at the knee of the same fond but departed mofher, who looks down with moistened eyes of pity on her son tonight. Before he was commissioned to the com. mand of your country he stood upon the same battlefield side by side with me. “It is an exceedingly painful thing for me to have to refer to these unpleasant cireum- stances, but the order which my brother disobeyed was issued at the same time to twenty-three torial leaders, among them five members of my own fami ly. “Sister Lucy, whom we called because she has not the habit of growi = big, has trod- den the heathen sands of India in fulfillment ef her duty as commander, received her farewell orders at the same time, and im- mediately issued her manifesto through the columns of her War Cry.” after ch LANDED ARMS News of the Arrival of an Expedi- tion, News of the landing in the eastern portion of Cuba of the expedition which left Phila- delphia on March 5 has been received. The entire cargo was discharged quietly and quickly, and placed in the hands of insur- gent agents, who will get it safely within the lines of Maceo and Gomez without delay. After the dispatch announcing the success of the expedition was received a prominent Cuban said: “The vessel withcall her stores arrived in Cuba on last Sunday afternoon. It was a comparatively easy suatter to land the arms ‘and ammunition, Gbere were no Spanish cruisers or guyboats to be seen along the coast.

Her husband, who at- téfipted to commit suicide by cutting his throat when arrested, is stil! confined at the infirmary under a heavy police guard, and the doctors say that he cannot be re- moved to the jail for about ten days.

United States Commercial Agent Moore of St. Kitts, one of the British West India Islands of the Leeward group, about forty- six miles from Antigua, informs the De- partment of State under date of February 24, that at the harvesting of the sugar crop six weeks ago the laborers of the es- tates struck for higher wages, their pay having been reduced last year on account of the low price of sugar and the shortness of the crop. The strikers set fire to the canes on the estates whose proprietors re- fused to accede to their demands, and night after night cane fields were destypyed. Fi- nally a general increase of wages was granted, but this did not satisfy them and a@ further increase was demanded. This Was not given and the burning of the cane fields continued. On the 17th of February the boatmen struck and refused to permit small beats to go off to vessels in the har- bor. Gangs of laborers from the estates joined them, “marching in on the town from the country around, armed with sticks and stones, to the music of their native tunes.” A mob appeared on the streets, smashing windows and street lamps, and later looted provision stores and saloons. Fortunately H. M. S. Cordelia had just arrived in the harbor on_a tour of inspection and a force of marinés and blue jackets was landed. After a skirmish, in which “three of the black rioters were killed and several wounded,” partial order was restored. The value of goods taken or destroyed vy mob is estimated at $5,000. Several at- tempts were made to fire the town, but the marines estinguisned the flames. he governor was telegraphed for and ar- rived the following day from Antigua, and it was decided that the warship should r main for the present, as the island ce: in- ly would not be safe without some protec- tion, for the blacks are still going around making threats to burn the towa and mur- der the white people at the jirst opportu. nity. The island is now under martial law and no one is allowed out after sunse: Mr. Moore expresses the opinion that @he worst is over. HADN 'T HEARD OF IT.

THE MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY. How to Make a Game of Certainty Out of a Game of Chance, Misfit Marriages Prevented, and Health and Happiness Assured. Novels generally prove that all marringys are happy. The divorce courts tell a different sicry. Once in a while there is a novel that tells th tiuth. ‘Then people say it is an unpleasant novel, and they don't read it. The covelists’ pletures of happiness frequently cause the most distressing un- happiness. Young men and women go into the state of matrimony in blissful and —senscless ignorance of wht it really means. They have read the toy stories of the average novelists, and they believe that if they may only have the parther of thele choice Mfe will thereafter be all roses and beney, They do not stop to find out whether or not the object of their devotion is suited to them elther mentally or physically. In Thomas Hardy's novel—ealled by the meaningless title, “Hearts Insurgent"’—there is given a picture, or a seiies of Pictures, which show plainly why some murricges are failures.

Plerce, chief consulting 1 jan and surgeon to the Invalids’ Hote gical Institute of Buffalo, N. ¥., and has been by him in bis practice for more than thirty years, Thousands of bottles of it have ‘been sold, at thousands of women have found their health in its use. It operates directly on the distinctly feminine organs—subdues the frritation und inflammation that are always present when they are diseased, stops the debilitating drain upon the system and purifies, strengthens and invigorates. Perhaps its time of greatest usefulness ix during the period of gestation. It relieves the “morning sickness” and other discomforts of this most trying period, and at the time of parturition brings safety and ‘compar- ative painlessnexs. Its effect on the health of both mother and child is astonishing to those who do not know about it. It not only makes the com- ing of baby easy and safe, and almost wholly painless, but renders the preceding time much more comfortable—practically eliminates all danger and greatly assists in making the child healthy, happy and strong. * ‘The only known medicine in the world that thus fully relteves parturition of Its pains and perils ts Dr. Pierce's.
