HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 25.-ChAir-
man Gilkeson OF the Republican state
committee has made up the roll of dele
gates to the coming state convention,
which will meet on Wednesday next. 1t
now seems probable that the contest for
the chairmanship of the state com cittee
will be carried into the co arts in the form
of an action on behalf Of Sentor Quay to
compel Chairman Gilkeson to surrender
the books an papers of the committee.
The mem bers of that body will hold a
meeting tomorrow at which a resolution
will be adopted requesting Mr.. Gilkeson
to attend and assist in the preparation of
the roll of delegates. He will almost GER
ta:nly refuse and then it is proposed that
the committee elect I. V. Cooper tempor-
aiy chairman. Legal steps will then be
taken to compel Mr.. Gilk eson to surren-
der the books and an auditing committee
will be appointed to examine his ac
counts. This programme will probably
be carried out without opposition as II
is the policy OF the Hastings people to
ignore any action the state committee
may take. The result is in doubt. Both
sides claim they will win, but neithr fac
ton is willing to make public the tig
ures upon which they base their. predic-

HE is RIGHT

Baron Farrer, who for thirty-sjx years
was permanent secretary of the London
board of trade, and writer on economic
questions, recently addressed the Golden
club at their annual banquet. lie, among
other things, said that, in his opinion.
the prospects for a more general free
trade were favorable. Australia and the
colonies had not found that protection
obviated depression, and furthermore that
in the United States the prospects were
most promising. His allusion 10 the con-
dition of affairs in the colonies might
have extended to include all of the British
dependencies where protective tariff
is in force. Canada is notable example
OF this. For years they have struggled
with protective tariff. sometimes more

only result that CanaGa's sons and
daughters never lose an opportunity to

A CASE OF MISPLACED SYMPATHY

There is no cause for Mysteries over the
little kink in our relations with France
concerning an episode in the island of
Madagascar. In the first place, MI. Wal.
Ter is not our consul de facto, and second
ly it is evident that he has been some
what indiscreet in the use of his pen.
The pretensions of the French in NADIA
gascar date back to 1643. When the island
became commercially important, nearly
200 years later, Britannia's characteristic
greed for the whole earth led to her in
trigues with the natives of Madagascar.
On two or three occasions since then the
clashing OF British and French interests
in the island has nearly resulted in war.
AS between the two land grabbers the
French certainly have the advantage of
priority. 1t will probably turn out that
the Waller incident resulted from little
indiscretion on one side and petty arro-
eance on the other. The old comrades of
the American revolution are not likely to
let such a trihe enable the monarchies of
Europe to gloat over the spectacle of a
war between the two great republics.

The dancing party given by Miss An

was most artistically decorated; IN the
reception hall were masses of white ole
anders and ferns; one of the parlors was
gay with a profusion of wild suntiowers
arranged over the walls like po,tieres. The
other parlor found It's decorations in scar
let geraniums and ribbon grasses. The
color scheme in each room was carried
out even to thu softly shaded lamps. The
yeranda was inclosed and made pretty

VIII 90 Through

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The first step to-
ward removing the Atchson, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad from the hands of the
receivers will be taken Tuesday at Topeka.
Kan. On that day Judge Caldwell, of
the United States circuit court, will appear
at Topeka for the purpose of hearing the
petition for the close of the receivership.
The sale will not be opposed, it is under
Stood by anyone, as the reorganization
and is prepared to buy the railroad and
pay cash for it. Judge Caldwell, besides
fixing "a date for the final sale to the
highest bidder. will fix the upset price to
be Iaid for the property. None Of the
receivers or attorneys interested would
talk about the proposed sale. The date of
sale will probably be fixed for sixty days
ahead, that period of warning being Ie-

New Sort of Poker

New York Sun: A new variation OF
poker has sprung up. 1t deals out the
entire pack in equal numbers to all play
ers. If five are playing, for example, each
will get ten cards at the start. If seven
are playing each will get seven. the three
cards lett over being put aside. Then,
instead of drawing, each player discards
as lie likes from his hand SO that he snail
have five car DIS to play with, making the
best hand possible out of those dealt hin. .
Hands are apt to run high in this sort
OF game. 1t is called Peculiar"
A poker in which six cards are dealt,
discards and draws being so regulated
that only five cards constituted the final
hand, has been known for some time; but
this is further development of that
idea. 1t is said to have originated along
the shores OF Long Island.

she CARRIED THE BABY

It was on Sixth avenue surface car
and whom she got on at Fourteenth street
there were but three fuli-grown passen-
gers-two women, each with baby, and
myself. One of the women was seated in
the far end OF tho car, while the other
was directly across from me on the oppo-
site side. am not, as rule, fond OF
babies, but this baby was one OF those
irresistible creatures who insist upon
making friends with everyone, cooling
and laughing, gurgling out all sorts OF
criticisms of you and your getup gener-
ally, which would be perfectly maddening
it you could understand them.
How such q throughly delightful baby
could have selected such mother was
incoinprehensible. She was an angular.
sandy haired woman. whose light blue
eyes and thin lips proclaimed a hard and
narrow nature. Her very way of hold
ing herself antagonized you-a Pharisee

had jus. arrived at this point in my
reflections when the car stopped and an
other passenger stepped on. She was
most tastsfully and becomingly dressed
in gown of some light summer fabric
undesirable to the masculine eye. But
with her pretty fresh face she made a
charming picture, from the nodding flow
ers in her hat to the tips of her smart
boots. But about her was that indeiina-
BILE something-in spite of or perhaps be-
cause of her otherwise modest demeanor
which stamped her Us the woman of
pleasure. She seated hsrself and imme-
diately the baby. desiring. like Alexan--
der, new worlds for conquest abandoned
me for the newcomer. She held out her
little hands and laughed delighted
greeting to the pretty face and the nod
ding roses. And, as l watched. theie
came beautiful change over the girls
face. The holy instinct of maternity,
which slumbers in the heart of every
woman. however fallen, awoke at the
touch of the baby's hand. A line. that
might some day make that young mouth
hard disappeared. Her face became
suffused, her eyes were tender. Involun-
tarily she laughed cordial greeting in
return.
"ob, what dear baby! Won't you let
me hold it just minute?'
Something seemed to galvanize that
stony mother into life. Her eyes actually
sparkled. She gazed at the girl with
look that scared and scorched as it
passed from ths trim booted feet to the
pretty, gay hat. She smiled a smile that
was not good to see. 'You!' she leered
in her high. thin voice. Why, wouldn t
let you touch her."
The poor face changed. The lovely
1u.h Of happiness deepened to a cruel
red. For the pure haby's sake she smoth-
cred an Imprecatlon at the door vf her
lips. Just then the car stopped and she
hurried to the door. But she was not so
quick but that the other mother caught
her hand. 1 had scarcely noticed her
and her sleeping child. Her face was
alieht with divine impulse of Sener-
osity. II get out here, too" she said.
'Won'ts.you carry my baby little way.
my arms are SO tired?

charity of that act l felt as II I knew

Objection was made to this proposition by

LET US LOOK BEYOND OUR BUsHEL

The English newspapers are earnestly
discussing a subject that is not only of
grave consequence to British interests,
but which also has direct bearing upon
the interests of this country. particularly
those of tue Pacific slope. 1t is the ques-
tion of commercial control in the vast
field now fairly opening in China and
Japan. From the English standpoint
sucn control seems to be of vital import
ance to British manufacturers. Statistics
show that the proportion of factory
operatives to general population is de
creasins at an alarming rate. In the great
manufacturing district OF Lancashire, for
instance, the general population is in
creasing at the rate of 24 per cent year,
while the increase in factory operatives
is less than one-half OF l per cent. This
means that England must find new out
let for her wares, and every effort is now
necessary to secure the lions share of
trade with China and Japan in view of
the vast expansion of demand expected
in those countries.
In relation to many OF the industries
which England hopes to push in the Ori-
ent her natural advantages are far infe.

demonstrated rignt here in Los Angeles
that in the matter of prepared meats we
can undersell the world in the markets of
China and Japan. In our vegetable pro-
ductions, that are susceptible of treatment
to make them non-perishable. we also
stand in the first rank. Our infant oil in
dustry, with vast possibilities but without
a present market, mighs find an outlet in
the Orient as a com petitor of the Stand
ard Oil company, and there are many
other products of our rich country that
will occur to the thoughtful mind, which
no doubt might be proftably marketed on
the other side of the Pacific.
The great drawback to our industries
now is transcon tinental freightage. The
fruits of our toll are largely consumed by
the railroads. 1t is because of cheap
ocecn freightage that the citrus products
of the Mediterranean undersell our own
in the eastern markets. But our nom
perlshable products, with cheap water
freIghtage across the Pacific, should give
us an advantage over all competitors in
the markets which England is now aim
ing to control Now is the time for Cal

direcMon. The task will be difficult il
