General Cutcheon was in his happi--
est mood, and when he had acknowl.
edged the compliment paid by the
POSTMASTER, he said:
"MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN
II IL appropriate when We meet to com.
memorate Abraham Lincoln, VINO was
himself born in poverty, who was him
self familiar with labor both of hand
and brain, that We should C nsider the
relation OF the party which be did 50

20 we'll until his dying day, to the in-
terests of free, well paid and honor
abe labor.
"0thers have spoken OF the relation
OF the republican party TO liberty and
TO the union; TO business prosperity and
to sound finance; but In its Champion
ship of the cause Of free and honorable
iabor il found the real keynote OF the
history of our party.
"Ths republican party had its gene
sis IN the revolt and protest of the con-
science and intelligence of the peopl Q
against . system of unpaid labor that
reduced nearly 1000, 900 Of human be-
ings TO the condition of chattel slaves,
and which, by iis direct competition
and It's reflex influence, tended to de-
grade all labor approximately TO Its
own leve..
at was the favorite theory of the
brilliant leaders of the slavocracy of
the south-then, as now. the dominant
element OF the democratic party-tnat
capital should own labor Their
maintained that the normal condition
Of labor Was that OF absolute suDjec-
ton TO capital.
at Was against this dogma that the
republican party most energrtlcaily
protested. IL denounced slavery as
'the sourco Of all villa.nies' and the
relic of BARBARIAN
at demanded that the national do
main should be sscredly guarded ~ the
patrimony of free men and the field
tor free labor. where Il should build

Miss Rehan the Model.

Chicago, March 21--The bottom facts
as to Ada Rehans connection with Mon
tana's big silver statue were authoritative
ly made public to-day. 1t appears that it
is true Miss Rehan did not after all ac-
tually pose for the statue. but that never
theless the statue is an exact reproduce
ton of Miss Rehan's proportions. J..
o. Harvey, who holds the contract for
the statue, said to-day: ..
Mr.. Park, who was engaged by us
to prepare the model, visited Philadel-
phia, where's Days company was play
ing in August last, on the invitation of
Augustin DAILY, and made his measure
ments. Later he visited Miss Rehan
in New York. At that time she was too
busy to pose and Mr.. Park secured the
services of a professional model, Ev-
riel de Lambert, to pose. The measure
ments used throughout were those of
Miss Rehan, from the crown of her head
to the sole of her foot Miss Rehan is
five feet six and one-half inches in height,
while Miss De Lambert is but five feet
one and quarter inches in height. Miss
Rehan was the real model, and Miss De
Lambert simply did the posing

increasing Imports.

q Washington, Special, March 21-The
advance statement by the bureau OF sta
tistics on foreign commerce and immi-
grafton for February was issued to-day.
The statement is not encouraging. It
shows a large decrease i'll the value Of
exports during the month and large in
crease in the value of imports Of mer-
chandise, and consequently heavy bal
ance against the United States. The
value of the exports of merchandise
during. February was $59,9+3,8 SS, and
imports Of merchandise $79,632, 14S, or
an excess of imports and balance Of
trade against us of $19,6S8, 262. The
value of the exports was $26, PSI
less than they We're one year ago, and
about $15.O0O.G COO less than two years
ago. On the other hand, the imports are
larger than for any February in previous
years. >.S.:E ~. '..-.- = !. vs. -7sg.-s

unsteadily through the rows Of specta-
tors up to the rail. District Attorney
Nicol in a low voice made the usual mo-
ton that sentence be passed. There

MONEY SOUANDERED,
Badges for the Ladies.

Albany, N Y, March 21.-State Con-
troller Campbell tonight sent a comm,l-
anication to the assembly as directed in
resolution passed by the house last
week. It was ordered that the controller
and the worlds fair commission of this
state furnish detailed statements of all
disbursements made by said commission,
including the nc mes of persons through
whom such disbursements We're made
and also including all items of indebted
nt IS incurred by said commission and
re naming unpaid and also including all
rrespondence between the controller
and said commission. n
Ihe controller tells of his efforts to
secure from the commission vouchers
that should avoid the Jumping of expendi-
lures under the heads s'incidentals, . sun
drys, and the like. He tells Of a 1926
desk. OF $500 worth of carpet at So. SO
per yard and of an $50 hat rack bought
by judicial district commissioner. The
last two items We're disapproved and the
bill for the desk was audited only after
the seller had agreed to take it back
after use at 10 per cent discount on the
original price. The controller was not
satisfied with a bill rendered by Com
missioner Louis M. Rowland for ex-
penses for two weeks in Chicago. This
is the way the controller puts it.:
1T will be seen by an examination Of
the receipt of the Auditorium hotel at
Chicago, which is annexed to this vouch-
er, that the first item, to room, two
weeks, $7O,' is at the rate of SIS per day,
without board; the second item on re-
ceipt, $500 kilograms: the third item,
livery, $500 and the fourth item, res

Dissolution Is Certain

Berlin, March 21.-The Schlossiche lei
tung, organ of Chancellor Caprivi, states on
authority that a dissolution will occur at
the end OF April unless the reichstag passes
the army bill. The kaiser has the right to
dissolve the reichstag after vote By the
bundesrath, and in that case new elections
must take place within sixty: days, and q
new y session must, open within ninety
days: The utterance of the Schlessiche
Zeitung is regarded as an indication that
Chancellor Won Caprivi is beginning to
despair of the passage of the army bill,
and that both the kaiser and the chancellor
regard the dissolution the only recourse.
