during his remarks referred to him as ''potter 9
clay in the hands of the corporatious''
kremer sfrang to his feet and ikened Bolts
to Judas Iscariot. He paced across the aisle
and branded him q liar, scoundrel, and applied
other epithets.
Mr.. Bolts made q move toward Kremer but
friends prevented them from clinching. Kre-
mer rushed out of the hall and returned soon
with his revolver.
Friends. however, overpowered him and kept

Universal Sympathy for Mr.. Foster.

Universal sympathy is expressed here for ex-
Secretary Foster in his financial embarrass-
ment Especially is this the case in the Treasury
Department, where Mr.. Foster was personally
very popular.
One Of the prominent officials Of the Treas
ury Department, who has been on terms OF
close intimacy with the ex-Secretary, said he
did not doubt that the news was true, for he
knew that Mr.. Foster had for some weeks been
struggling to overcome financial difficulties.
He added that he feared the results Of the fail
ure would be severely felt in Ohio
The controller of currency, speaking Of the
failure Of ex-Secretary Fosters private bank,
said today that this ought not to be associated
with the First National Bank Of Fostoria That

WILL BE A BRlToN BOLD.

MI. Astor Is Ambitious and Will Swear
Allegiance to the British Queen.
1t is now understood that Mr.. w. w.
Astor intends to apply for naturalization
papers and become British subject. He
cannot indeed, under the new property
laws, hold freehold real estate without
so doing. His ambition, SO says rumor,
runs to political life in the commons,
with possible baronetcy and subse-
quent peerage in the future, which
might land him in the house of lords.
He is not the first American who has
abandoned his native land for the moth
er country and been rewarded with a
title.
The late Sir Curtis Lampson Of Bos-
ton was case in point. His son sue
ceeded to the baronetcy, and his very
clever daughter became the wife of
Frederick Locker, the poet. Mr.. AS
tors political aspirations, by the way.
will not be forwarded by his recent
move of closing to the public the ter
races at Cliveden, which were formerly
much enjoyed by frequenters of the
River Thames, and it is rumored that
he will soon withdraw also the privilege

To Recognize War Operators.

A bill introduced in the senate by Mr..
Hill of New York provides for the rec
ognition of the services Of the men who
went to the front during the war in the
capacity of telegraph operators, and
who, although they may have served all
through the great struggle, frequently
exposed to the dangers of war and en-
gagged in the most hazardous of under
takings, have never been classified as
soldiers or enlisted men. The bill pro-
vides that all persons engaged in the op-
GRAFTON and construction of military tel
egraph lines during the war of the re-
bellion are declared to have been part
of the army of the United States, and
the secretary Of war is directed to pre-
pare roll of such persons, and to issue
to each upon application, unless it shall
appear that his service was not credit
ably performed, certificate Of honor
able discharge reciting the act and the
term and character of the service. The
bill expressly provides that it shall not
be construed to entitle the persons men,
toned to any pay, allowance, bounty
or pension other than that heretofore
received by them.

Zolu to a young Woman.

Amid the bountiful honors which have
recently been bestowed upon Zola in
England a good deal of comment has
been excited by his reply to young
woman who asked him point blank if he
would recommend her to read his books.
The novelist sent this reply:
MADEMo1sELLE-As long as q young lady is
unmarried she is under the care of her parents
When she marries, she will do well to consult
her husband. My view is that you may read
my books, provided your parents or your hus-
band gives you leave.
The critics want to know whether Zola
is still so deep in the slough of medieval
ism as to think that a woman who may
take the responsibility of marriage may
not choose the literature which she will
read.

The Dominion Government Refuses to
Change the Immigration Act.
Several attempts have been made by
labor organizations of the Dominion to
induce the government to impose further
restrictions on Chinese immigration
The government has just passed an order
in council which practically settles its
policy in that regard. The order, after
reciting the circumstances which called
it forth, says:
Whatever sympathies may exist and
whatever views may be held on the sub
ject generally-or more particularly with
reference to Chinese exclusion or to such
restrictions as are demanded by the petit
tioners-they must. in so far Mt least as
exclusion is concerned. be held to be sub
ordinate to the obligations solemnly en-
tered into between two great and friend
ly nations. and no action should De taken
which could be construed by the imperial
government as inmcal or as infrlng-
ing upon treaty rights.

Canada with China. it is not expedient

30 change me provisions of the Chinese
immigration act nor to take any action
that might be considered by the Chinese
government as an invasion of the spirit
of treaty obligations or as an unfriendly
act.
1T is deemed impolitic and unneces-
sary to recommend the alternative ex-
pedient of raising the capitation tax to
$500. The suggestion that every China
man or woman in Canada be taxed to
the amount of 5000 each year, aud that
said tax be paid into the treasury of the
municipality or city in which they may
be found is question for the consider
tion of others than the government of
