Chicago, 49, Jas. B. Doyle, the
eounterfeiter, WaL sentenced in the fed
ersl court, this morning to twelve years
inIthe Chester, Illinois, penitentiary.
Washington, l9.-It is stated in expIA-
nation Of the action of government affairs
in the case of Doyle, sentenced to-day in
Chicago, that il will be no more difficult
for Doyle to communicate with them
from prison, where he will go after sem
tence, than it has been during his con-
fnement in jail, awaiting sentence. The
fact that he is under sentence will not in
itself operate against him, as he will
have the same opportunity Of proving
his assertion in regard to the bent plate.
That he has had at any time since his
arrest. 1t is explained that the object of
taking q portion of the plates to New
York is to determine whether they are
or engraved upon commerce

fact will not prove they are genuine i'm
for the counterfsiter would be
able to sbtail commercial copper as we'll

be decided that they are the deposit of 8
battery, there will be no doubt as to their
being counterfeit.

Good Word From Abroad

London, 19.-The Times, in leading
article on the progress of Americs, says:
II there were DO direct evidence for the
coming Of the reality and rapidity of th q

of excitement in American politics,
What is especially remarkable in the
present development OF American energy
and success il its wide and equal dis
tributien. The readjustment OF federal
representation bears testimony to the
political capacity of tBe people and az.

How the Republican Party has Collected
the Revenue.
The report of Green B. Raum, commissioner
OF internal revenue, has been submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The receipts from
the internal revenue taxation for the past
fiscal year has been about $146, 100000, 1t is
not likely the receipts for the present fiscal
year will fall below $145, 600, 600 should the
taxes now imposed be retained Commissioner
Ranm thinks that a reduction of from sixty to
seventy millions in the annual revenues of the
country could be safely entered upon, and in
his judgement such reduction is urgently
called for This relief as far as possible should

PRovINCETowN, Mass, Dec. 3.-The life
service was called upon to render heroic SER
vice this morning, which was done by Capt

close proximity to the outer bar and immedi-
ately burned his signal light, but the vessel
struck at the same minute. Capt. Young was
Immediately notified and the life boat was
launched at once. A tremendous sea was run
ming and the boat was twice capsized in the
surf. At the third attempt took the boat out a
little way when heavy sea struck her and she
was again overturned, throwing the crew into
the surf. Capt. Young was thrown some DIS
tance, but fortunately the sea took him so far
in shore that he was seized by two of the crew
and rescued. The boat was again righted and
the fourth attempt proved successful, aud after
hard efforts they succeeded in reaching the
vessel, which had pounded over the bar in the
meantin.e. The crew of the wrecked vessel
was taken off and landed safely. She proved
to be the schooner Oliver Ames, of Taunton,
Capt. Babbitt, with ice. The mate was on
deck at the time of the accident and says they
mistook the Race lig ht for the Highland light,
and changing the course accordingly the acci-
dent occurred. The Ames lies in a dangerous
position and undoubtedly will go to pieces.

Cox OF New York, being interviewed tonight,
said he thought Randall and Carlisle, with
twelve and six votes respectively from their
states in the Democratic GAUGES, were parceling
out the offices of the 4Sth Congress rather early
in the day. He sad that New York would
hold tie balance of power in the Democ cratic
cauus in the next Congress. he himself was
not candidate for the speakership, but If his
friends thought he ought 10 stand, he would.
In any event Randall would not be speaker.
New England, New York and Michigan he
knew to be sgainst him, not to speak of the
South. Mr.. Cox remarked that the Democrats
would not ohstruct legislation in the House
session, unless the Republicans attached im-
proper legislation in the form OF riders to ap-
preparation bills.

OUR SKIPPING.
The Report Of the Select Congressional
Committee.

1Ae heDOrt or the Select Congressional
Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--The joint select COM
mittee 10 investigate the causes of decline in
Amerlcan shipping met at the room of the
senate Committee on Commerce to-day. 1t
was a meeting adjourned from Nov. 22d, at
Wnlch time the committee closed It's session in
new York. There were present the chairman,
senator Conger, Senator Vest and Representa-
yves Robeson, Cox, Dingley and Page. Mr..
Dlngley, from the subcommittee appointed in
new YORK, presented its report on the topics
then submitted, accompanied by bill. The
luli committee unanimously agreed to the pro-
visions OF the bill The bill makes important
modlncations of the laws relating to he pay
ment OF extra wages to seamen, and provides
Tor the payment of extra wages when a seaman
is discharged from an American vessel in a for
elgn port, only when the vessel is sold, when
the voyage IS Improperly continued beyond the
port to which the seaman shipped, and when
the vessel is found by inspectors to be insufic-
iently provisioned and the master refuses to
correct the deficiency 1t is also provided that
when seaman is injured in the line of duty,
contracts disease in consequence of want of
proper food or shipboard, the vessel shall be
held responS bic for the payment of the ex-
penses OF sickness. The bill also amends sec
tion 1540 of the Revised Statutes SO as to give
adequate compensation to vessels for the trans
portatlon OF disabled sailors. 1t also RENTS all
consul ices Tor service to American ships and
the payment Of consuls from the United States
treasury for such service. IL authorizes the
importation in bond. free of duty, of ships
supplies for vessels engaged in the foreign
carrying trade, to be used only on foreign
voyages. 1t provides for reduction of the
Marine Hospital tax on seamen fIom forty
cents to twenty cents, as it was before 1871. 1t
abrogates the tonnage on vessels engag ed
in trade with the Dominion of Canada. It
further provides that the liability of part
owner of vessel shall be limited to the pro-
portion of all liabilities that his individual
share bears to the whole. 1t amends section
Abb of the Revised Statates by allowing, in
the case of death or disability of one of the
mates of a vessel on a foreign voyage, the en-
ployment of foreign seaman TO supply his
place, if necessary, until the vessel returns to
the United States. AS sume members of the
committee objected to report on the above
point, upon which the committee is agreed,
until the whole question of free ships and free
material can be acled upon, no report will be
made until the whole ground can be covered,
which will be likely to defer the report to late
day. The committee adjourned until Monday
night.

OCe1th "a OAAO ~ AASLSAoAOS ~ Os'heOA SNtJ'
LONDON, Nov. 3-The Archbishop of Cam
terbury died at 10 this morning.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury passed away
quietly and apparently without suffering in
the sresence of his three daughters, Mr.. David
son, his son-in-aw, Canon Knollys and DR..
Carpenter. Yesterday he remained in semi
unconscious state, occasionally asking for
water, about IL at night he spoke his last
words, "It is coming, 1t is coming" He was
then seized with a sharp spasm and did not
speak again although it is believed he was
partly conscious to the end AT in the morn
no exhibited signs of dissolution.
IL is understood that the Dean of West
munster on behalf of the Queen has offered
burial for the Archbishop's remains in West
minis er Abbey. The decision rests with the
deceased's daughters. Muff1ed peals were
rung in the adjacent town of Croydon, and the
Archbishop's ath was touchingly referred TO
at the morning services.
The Most Rev Archibald Campbell TAFT,
d. D., the late Archbishop of Canterbury, was
born in Edinburg Dec. 20, 1911. was educated
at the University Of Edinburg, and at Bolliol
College, Oxford. He was made an examiner
Of the college, and at the commencement of
the "Oxford movement" that resulted in the
going over to Rome of DR.. Newman and Others,
he took strong ground against the Tractarians
and remained all his life opposed TO the high
church idea ia all its forms. He vas admitted
to holy orders and in 1912 was appointed to
succeed tho celebrated DR.. Arnold as head
