FREE SEEDS.
MORTON BELIEVES THE LAW Is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Efforts Will Be Made to Have His
Order Rescinded, But it VIII
Take the Power of Congress to
Do 1t.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-There bids
fair to be an interesting contest in
this Congress between Secretary of
Agriculture Morton and the members
who have agricultural constituencies,
over the distribution of seeds. BY vir-
tue of an opinion rendered last sum-
mer by Attorney General Olney, the
secretary has practically done away
with the time honored system of graz
tulties to the public. He rejected all
bids made for furnishing seeds and in
October last practically abolished the
seed division of the department. Since
his course was made public, members
have been planning to take action to
compel the secretary to carry out the
law according to their Interpretation of
it, which was made plain in the course
of a long debate on the question by
the last house. In anticipation of the
congressional request for an eXplana-
ton which was initiated by Mr.. Ba-
ker of New Hampshire, today the sec
rotary of agriculture had printed a cir
cular explaining his course, which is
being distributed to members. The cir
cular quotes the attorney generals
opinion that the law contemplateS the
use of seeds rare and not common to
this country, and also the secretary 8
order closing the seed division. Sec
rotary Morton has been very plain in
his statements to members. He says
he believes that the seed distribution
is an unconstitutional form of paternal-
ism and does not intend to be instru-
mental in it if he can help himself.

PHILOSOPHY FOR SMOKERS.
Known BY His Cigars and the Way
He Smokes Them.

AS a test of character tobacco is use
full A man may be known by the
cigars he keeps as well as by the way
he smokes them. No man of refined
taste will smoke a bad cigar. The
philosophic smoker takes his comfort
i'm a leisurely way, amid proper sur
roundings and is able to Shut himself
out from the world and all its petty
annoyances as he follows the curling
wreath into the dreamland of reverle.
The man who allows his cigar to go
out a great many times and relights
it in successive spasms of fdgetiness
may be usually set down as an mco-
herent character, quite prone to get
off his trolley, so to speak, and GER
tainly lacking in tenacity of purpose
The man who fumbleS his cigar a
good deal and manages to get the
wrapper unraveled and the fire all on
one side may be dismissed as nerv-
GUS person, with a procilivity for I'M
comfortableness. Men who chew their
cigars, leaving their teeth prints on
them and do this for a long time be-
fore lighting them are quite likely to
be stern, determined men, full of grit
and resolution. General Grant used
to handle cigar in that way, and Bis
marck is said to do likewise.
AS an index of generosity or mean
ness of soul the cigar is quite trust
worthy. The generous man, if he
smokes at all, is sure to- indulge him.
self and his friends when they call on
him with a good cigar. The man who.

SAID PASHA'S FLIGHT.
Proof Positive of the Gravity of the
Present Situation.

Proof Positive of the Gravity of the
Present Situation.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 6, via So
fla, Bulgaria. Dec. News of the
flight Of Said Pasha and reports to
the effect that he had taken refuge
with Sir Philip Currie, British ambas-
sador, spread with extraordinary rapid
ity throughout the Mussulman quarters
and excited the most profound inter
est. Turks here are pretty general to
admit the fact that so distinguished a
person and as well known a patriot
| as Said Pasha should seek shelter with
a foreign power, is proof positive of the
gravity of the present situation. 1t is
acknowledged on all sides that unless
the palace clique can be broken up a
government by the sublime porte will
be rendered impossible.
AT a meeting of the ambassadors
resolutions were adopted, and it is be-
lieYed that action was taken to the
effect that the powers will support Said
Pasha in the event of his agreeing to
| accept the Office of grand vizier, but
it is not probable that he will again
! take up the duties of that Office after
seeking refuge from the wrath of the
sultan. 1t is believed Said Pasha is
desirious of leaving the country, but
he will not quit the shelter of the Brit
iSh embassy except with a guarantee
from all the powers.
There has been absolutely no change
reported in the question of the guard
ships.
A telegram from Caesara was re-
ceived today announcing the safety Of
all the missionaries ait that point Even
the Turkish accounts admit that 200
Armenians were killed in the massacre
at Caesara on November so.
Much apprehension is felt for the
safety Of the missionaries at BitliS and
Kharput. Owing to the lack of con-
| fidence entertained in the escorts fur
nished by THE officials, the missionaries
are afraid to leave. These two towns
are regarded as especially dangerous
posts, although the missionaries at Bit
| lis continue to appear upon the streets
DR.. Knapp was, however, attacked by
| the Turks three weeks ago, and since
then he has been obliged to keep in the
house altogether
United States Minister Terrill has
made earnest representations to the
sublime porte in connection with this
state of affairs Owing to the cessa-
ton of trade with Kharput and Bitlis
it Is now difficult to send money to the
missionaries.
Emmery Bey, recently governor al
Hadjin, deprived of his post through
the representations of United States
Minister Terrill, who informed the sui
tan that if the three women mission
aries at Hadjin were molested in any
way he would have the head of the
Turkish governor, has been appointed
governor at rarsus, which is regarded
as a better position. According to the
latest reports these three American
women, Mrs Joseph L. Cof1ng, OF
Dresden, Ohio; Miss Eugene A. Bates
of Abingdon, Ill, and Miss Agnes E
Swenson, of Chicago, were safe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Represen-
tative U. s. Hall, of Missouri,
who was one of the most active advo-
Gates of the income tax feature of the
Wilson tariff bill, is determined not, to
abandon the fight for an income%fRx
law. AS a result of a careful inquiry
into the subject an amendment to the
constitution was prepared ard intro
duced by Mr.. Hall yesterday. 1t is to
be known as the sixteenth amendment
and is as follows:
All taxes as we'll as duties, i'm
posts and excuses, shall be uniform
throughout the United States provided.
that all per capita tax, shall and any
other tax may be apportioned among
the several states according TO their
respective numbers, counting the whole
number of persons in each state, ex-
Guiding Indians not taxed
Such an amendment would remove
from clause 2 of section and clause
OF section 8 of article of the consti-
tuition the inhibition against the i'm
position of direct taxes unless levied
according to the population in the re-
spect1Ve states, the supreme court HAY
ing held that the income tax was =

calities and they were therefore to be
laid according to the rule OF popula-
ton. This was done to prevent a ma
Jority of the states from combining to
assess exhorbitant taxes on the mi
norlty states. 1t has been found that
all attempts to tax for federal pur-
poses according to the rule of appor-
tlonment have been failures and the
only effect of these clauses of the con-
stltutlon have been to prevent ., any
federal percapita or direct taxation.

CONDUCTOR TO BLAME.
Probable Verdict in the Cleveland
Viaduct HOrrOr.

CLEVELAND, Dec. lit is said to-
night the coroner has decided upon his
verdict in the recent viaduct accident
by which seventeen persons lost their
lives. Motorman Rogers of the car
which plunged into the open draw is
held blameless, it is said, because he
swore positively that he did not see
the danger signal or know that the
draw-bridge gates were open until the
car was almost into the draw. 1t is
said the coroner also exonerates the
bridge captain, holding that the testi-
mony showed the gates were closed
and the danger lights in place. This
will free the city from blame. 1t is
also said the verdict will place the
blame on the conductor of the car,
Edward Hoffman, who met death IN
the accident, for the testimony show
ed the conductor opened the switch
and signalled the motorman to come
ahead. Therefore the motorman be-
lieved everything was all right.

SAVIOR FARE.
English People Are Surprised at the
Ease of American Schoolgirls.

Where does the very young American
girl get her amazing sense of SAVIOR
faire?" asked a titled Englishman the
other day. He had sat at dinner beside
the youngest daughter of the house,
called in by her mother to take a sud-
denly vacated seat at grand dinner
party. The pretty miss had volunteered
TO the amiable British gentleman that
she had never sat at a dinner party be-
lore, ana yet he observed her manners
showed all the quiet ease, the lively self
possession and pretty dignity that would
have done credit to a duchess.
