was too strong to be resisted. A new chair
was set at the Cabinet table. and Uncle
JERRY was selected to I'LL 1t. He soon gave
evidence of his familiarity with farming and
of his hearty and frisky temperament. He
gave his chief clefk three swaths and yet
moved him down. 90 to speak. He aston
ished and delighted the guests OF the Hon.
FELIX AeNuA of Baltimore and Nacirema
by riding position on one of noble pair of
steeds drawing hay wagon. II his depart
ment was useless, yet about him there was
iovlal exuberance which made him thing
of beauty and atoned for the uselessness Of
his seed packers and bug hunters.
But 1t seems from Uncle JERKY's first re-
port that he has lost in Washington some Of
theSpartan simplicity and the rugged virtues
TINT were his in Wisconsin. Like most othero Of
flceholders, he yields to the desire to see moro
money spent upon his Office, and it's functions
enlarged. He wants more clerks and experts
He wants money for the library and the mu-
scum of his department. He wants the Gov
ernment to help agricultural education and
to become student and reporter Of the cat
tie market He wants 81, 359, 900 for his de-
partment for the next fiscal year. He thinks
that is not very much OF an appropriation
for country to mako for the purpose Of
sustaining, protecting, and promoting
calling which lies at the foundation OF Its
prosperity and power"
No, Uncle JERRY, but agriculture In this
country is capable Of sustaining, protecting,
and promoting itself. Even II It wasn't, 1t
wouldn't be sustained, protected, and pro-
NOTED by sending out pumpkin seeds to Con-
gressmen and mailing to farmers reports
whose chief use is as pipe lighters.
Fie. tie, Uncle JERRYl To think that you
Of all men should yield to the temptation to
magnify your Office and try to make hum
bug moro expensive.

Amendments Adopted.

still Considering the Rules OF the Road
Amendments Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. AT IL o'clock this
morning the International Marine Conference
resumed consideration of Rules OF the Road.
Capt. ShRckford Of the United States with
drew the amendment offered by him to article
3-lights for steamers which provided that
steamers shall carry bright white light on the
highest mast abaft the foremast. In place of
1t Capt Shackford offered an amendment re-
citing that steamers in the North Atlantic trade
be allowed to carry bright white light on the
aftermast to indicate the direction in which
they are moving. Delegate Bisbee Of China
moved to amend by requiring all steamers to
carry such n light Consideration OF the
amendment was postponed
The Conference next took up amendments
to Article 8. lights for vessels ut anchor The
first was that offered by the delegates from
Great Britain dividing vessels into classes, one
OF 100 feet in length and over. and one OF less
than $50 feet In length. The former shall carry
two white globular lights. one forward and one
at the stern. and the latter ono such light To-
Gated forward. Adopted.
TO article II. lights for vessels being over
taken, the delegates from the Netherlands pro-
posed an amendment requiring all vessels ex-
ular occulting white light, screened so as to
be visible only over an arc of twelve points, six
rlEuI HnHlC on e1cn side OF the
ship, and Tor q distance OF one mile.
Delegate Goodrich OF the United States made
a strong argument In favor OF compelling the
carrying OF the white light rs proposed. and he
ehowed. by the illustration of the case OF a coll
li5ion at sea. the necessity OF such a light.
Delegate Hall OF Great Britain moved as a
substitute an amendment proposed BY him
self providing that the white light NAV be
fixed MI. Goodrich moved an amendment
to this amendment, by providing that the
white light may he fixed or occuIting
MIR. Goodrich's amendment was lost and the
substitute proposed by Mr.. Hal was adopted
by a decisive vote with an additional CLAUSE
providing that such stern light shall be visible
on dark night with clear atm mosphere at
:, An entirely new article was proposed by the
British delegates, authorizing o vessel at any
tino. In addition to the light which she is By
the regpiatioAs required to carry, to show
Hare up light or use detonatinR signal to at
tract attention. Thore was some objection to
the nafe-up light and Mr.. Hall suggested that
the Conference vote on the principle laid down
!n the amendment OF permitting vessels to use
the extra signal to attract attention. tho exact
terence agreed to the principle.

The answer to the question proposed is,

Let US take, for instance, the venerable

the mature President Of Harvard University.
Dr. McCosH of Princeton, according to our
faithful Republican contemporary the PhiLa-

DR.. CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT of Harvard
