SHERMAN'S BILL.
Calculated to Advance Our In
tereStS Abroad.
Democratic Opposition to Ills Measure for
Creating ambassadors.
Teller Presents Substitute for the Cau-
Gus Silver Bill-BiggS Attacks
Civil Service.
Special by the California Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-Some discussion
has been evoked over Sherman's bill to
rank Ministers as ambassadors. The Dem
cratic Congressman say, why. this is
merely giving rank, gew-gaws and tinsel to
our foreign Ministers. If we desire our
ambassadors to take rank with those of
other countries we shall have to create an
order of nobility"
A California Associated Press reporter
asked Senator Sherman what benefit would
accrue from the change of title Said he:
San ambassador is more significant than
an envoy. He speaks for nation of the
first rank in power. At the Congress held
by crowned heads in Vienna, in 1914, and
afterward ratified at Aix-la-C Chapelle, it
was agreed that there should be established
four grades of public ministers, namely:
ambassadors, ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary, ministers resi-
dent and charges d'affaires. 1t was agreed
at this meeting that ambassadors should be
the personal representatives of a sovereign,
but things have changed greatly since then.
In the development Of free thought and free
instructions ambassadors have become not

sentative Of the nation of whose citizens
they are.
SIT is not the title or rank that suggest
as reason why these public servants
should be entitled to be called ambassadors,
but because l believe our interests will be
promoted abroad if we confer upon them
such position as will give them dignity

A Lively Discussion on the Question of Quail

New YORK, April 24-The convention
of the Federation OF Women's Clubs con-
tinued to-day The day was consumed
largely in the discussion of the proposed
constitution. The topic causing the mos
discussion was the qualifications for mem
bership. An unusual number Of ladies
were discovered to be utilitarian. They
protested strongly against the declaration
that literary, artistic and scientific cul-
ture" should be qualification for member
ship, to the exclusion or subordination of
more broadly human movements" The
section, as adopted after discussion, reads:
The constitution shall show by its plan of
work that no sectarian or political test is re-
quired and that its purpose Is not primarily
phllanthr0pic or technical, but that its chief
object is literary, artistic or scientific cul-
ture, while more broadly human move
ments may be recognized"
This evening a brilliant reception at Del
monico's was rendered to the visiting dele
gates by the Soross Club. Tomorrow
morning the bylaws and election of officers

Do Horses Have InteIIig.pceq

During the recent week of sleighing
young man was frequently seen speeding
along the Milldam road and Beacon street.
One afternoon he had driven his horse un-
usually hard, so that the poor animal was
nearly exhausted. On being urged to fur
ther speed on Beacon street the horse
stopped. The young man ashed him with
out avail; then he got out and kicked him,
a most despicable act toward an animal.
Stlll the horse was immovable, but cast
longing glances up a side street, which the
young man noticed. Getting into the sleigh
he turned the horses head that way, and
the animal trotted off without urging. The
street was narrow, and the horse soon fairly
flew, to The young mans delight. But sud
denly the horse turned sharply, pitching
the young man out into q snowbafik with

down came the squad.
The crowd below had swelled to 200. The
doctor said: Now, stand back. Be care
iul; a tarantula can jump-oh, well, 100
feet"
Then he took the long pole with which
windows are washed, fastened cotton sat-
urated with chloroform to the end of it and
poked 1t under the nose of the backed
terror. The tarantula began falling. The
doctor pushed under q big-mouthed candy
Jar and the deadly reptile fell into it. The
physician ran up and clapped a cover over
the jar. A sigh of relief and a shout went
up and the crowd poured into the store.
=, Ihe doctor inspected his prisoner closely.
then muttered: Il am afraid l gave it too
much chloroform. Looks like It's dead.
Maybe it will come to- though"
AS he was examining it Ed Shekey, the
senior member of the fruit firm, came
cr0wdlng up, and with worlds fair grin
en- his face, called out
Say, doc, that tarantula Is of new
brand that I'm just introducing in Grand
Crossing. His body is made of the finest
cotton. His legs are of wire and hair and
his big eyes are shiny jet beads, but amt he
a dandy?"
howl of laughter went up from the
crowd as close inspection showed the
tarantuln to be artificial. The doctor, who
is somewhat OF practical joker himself,
burst out laughing, bought box of cigars

patients, saying: well, gentlemen, let's

LONDON, April 24.-The land purchase
debate was resumed in the Commons this
evening. Gladstone spoke of the opposition
to the Government bill, being convinced
that the measure was not only complicated,
but it did not undertake to solve
the difficulty. While complimenting the
principle Of Parnell's plan, it was not clear
in details lie sympathlzed with the object
of the scheme. but it required explanation.
BalfouPs bill was replete with dubious
points, hiding the character of the measure.
Some of his proposals were SO Objectionable
as to justify its rejection. 1t was obvious
that Ireland was opposed to the measure,
seeing that five-sixths of the Irish mem
beTs were strong IN their opposition. as
the Government was going to make Ireland
a debtor, it was important that they should
consider what was the attitude OF the per
sons they were about to subject to the debt.
If they declined 10 recognize their oblga-
tions, 1t was 4 new wrong inflicted. The
bill, he said, threatened a condition which
would shock humanity. create disorder.
and make worse the relations between the
two countries.
