Neither Tariff Changes Nor a Bond
Issue Likely.
The Situation Said to Be Full of I'm.
certainties in Both Ends of
Congress.

1t is still uncertain whether there will be
a holiday adjournment. The general opin-
ion expressed at the meeting of the ways
and means committee today was that they
could not afford to adjourn, though it was
certain that nothing could be accomplished
by remaining in session. This opinion
was tentative, however, and is subject to
change after fuller conference.
TIE committee will probably join the
proposition for more revenue by way of
tariff with the proposition for a popular
loan, compelling Mr.. Cleveland to take or
reject the two together, if any legislation
could be had. AT their meeting Monday
the committee expect to decide upon their
general policy
The statement of Senator Dubois in the
Senate today that the democrats of the Sem
ate would not permit tariff legisla ton, and
that the republicans would not permit a
provision to pass for a bond issue, and that
therefore nothing could be done, is about the
situation, as ii is generally regarded respect

WHERE THE PILGRIMS LANDED.
Senator HOar Discusses Relations of
England and America.


PLYMOUTH. Mass, December 2l.-The
215tn anniversary of the landing of the
pilgrim fathers was observed here today.
Senator George f. Hoar of Worcester was
the orator of the day.
In the course of his Grafton ne delivered a
eulogy on England and the English, which
likely to cause smile in view of re-
cent events.
The Senator, however. went on: What l
said just now was written more than ten
days ago Let 1t stand It is Well that
these two great nations should know some
thing of each other that they don't get
from their metropolitan press whether in
London or in New York. Each Of them
should know that if it enter into a quarrel
with the other it is to lie a contest with
that people en- the face of the earth which
is most like to itself. The quarrel will be
maintained on both sides, until Anglo
Saxon, until English, until American en-
durance is exhausted. For that reason, If
for no other, such conflict should neve,
begin This whole thing is very simple.
1--WE cannot permit any weak power on
this continent to be despoiled of its terri
tory or to be crowded cut of its rights by
any strong power anywhere. England
would not permit us to do that to Belgium
or to Denmark. On the other hand, we
have no title to interfere with the estab-
Hshed boundaries Of English territory
whether we like them or do not like them.
.An between those two limits is subject
for discussion and for arbitration; subject
for that International arbitration which a
delegation of English members of parlia-
ment came to Boston few years ago To
impress upon us. saying that in their de
sire for its establishment they represented
the opinions Of a large majority OF the
English house of &C mmons.
The settlement of pending differences
upon these principles will be compelled by
the business men and the religious senti-
ment of these two nations. influences al.
ways irresistible when they are united
and when they are brought to bear upon
the large matters of national and inter
national import

RONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is bona flGe one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
Users. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newssta ads, which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
TORS don't give them.
The circulation of The Star Is
many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper and Is be-
lieved to be fully five times that of
any afternoon contemporary.

CONSTANTINOPLE, December 21.-JTni-
ted States Minister Terrell has gone to
Smyrna to confer with Admiral Selfridge
on board the L. S. flagship San Francisco,
regarding steps to be taken in order to in
sure the safety of the American mission
aries in Asatic Turkey
AS the latest reports from u. s. Minister
Terrell show that there is grave reason to
a2prehend further religious outbreaks in
Turkey, by which the safety Of Americans
resident there would be threatened Secre-
tary Herbert, at the instance of the De-
structions to Admiral Selfridge, command
ing the European squadron. now off the
coast of Syria, to afford protection and
shelter aboard the three vessels of his
feet to any Americans who may be dis
posed to accept il.
No attempt will he made to send any
force from the vessels into the interior Of
the country. IS it is realized that this
would be utterly fmpractcable with The
fl rec at hand. and impolitic as well, but
as Mr.. Terrell has informed the State De-
partms Mt that he can secure safe conduct
to tie coast of any of the American mis-
scenarios who can be induced to leave their
stations, the government feels that it has
done all within its power TO secure the
safety Of these people.
The cruiser Minneapolis which was DIS
patched from Norfolk to Admiral Self
ridges aid. sailed from Gibraltar Thursday
under orders to proceed direct to Smyrna
The distance between the points is about
/, 500 miles. and it is estimated that it will
take the Minneapolis at least five days to
cover it.

TWO REAR ADMIRALS.
Under Charges Of CriticisinE the
President.

Two rear admirals on the retired list of
the navy have been reported to the Navy
Department as guilty of conduct calling for
discipline either by court-martial or by
reprimand. Rear Admirals Braine and Roe
are the officers in question. The complaint
against them is that they have given pub
lie utterance III newspaper interviews to
indiScltct criticisms OF the course of the ad-
nilistration in the Venezuelan affair.
Admiral Braine is resident of New
York and Admiral Roe is a resident of
Washington. They have been the re-
tired list for many years, but this fact
does not relieve them from responsibility
for violations of the regulations of the
navy.
The offense alleged to have been COM
mitted by each of these officers was in
making public comment i'll newspaper in
terviews on the Presidents message.

consideration of the action of the Senate
on the House holiday adjournment reso-

found that there We're many parliamentary
Obstacles in their way, and also that they

to diSDose of the question.

The ways and means committee held a
brief meeting after the session of the House
and formally organized. The Presidents
financial message was not considered, nor

WISDOM OF BUDDHA.

All that we are is the result of what we
have thought. 1t is founded on our
thoughts, and it is made up of our thoughts.
II a man makes himself as he teaches
others to be, then, being himself subdued,
he may subdue others. Ones own self Is
indeed difficult to subdue.
Not about the perversities of others, not
about their sins of commission or omis-
sion, but about his own misdeeds and neg
LICENCES, should a sage be worried.
He who does not rouse himself when it
is time to rise; who, though young and
strong, is full Of sloth; whose will and
thoughts are weak-that lazy and idle man
will never find the way to enlightenment:
Those who imagine truth in untruth,
and see untruth in truth, never arrive at
truth, but follow vain desires. They who
know truth in truth, and untruth in I'M
truth, arrive at truth and follow true de-
sires.
Pleasures destroy the foolish. The foolish
man by his thirst for pleasures destroys
himself as if he were his own enemy. The
fields arc damaged by hurricanes and
weeds. Mankind is damaged by passion,
by hatred, by vanity and By lust.

In Paris and the environs OF Paris
Napoleon had five residences. The mag.
nificent Tuileries-so-ca called from being
the site of all old tile-factory Of the
Middle Ages-came to him with the
"reminiscences of Bourbonism. Though
it was the public seat Of the Empire, it
was never favorite residence The
palace of the Elyseo was the private city
home of the Emperor. Here he resided
when the war fever was not on. Fon-
tainebleau, thirty-seven miles from the
city, was the homo in which Napoleon
found himself at greatest ease. The
palace of st. Cloud was on the left bank
of the Seine, a mile and a-half from tho
city ramparts. Malmaison was the home
and property of the Empress Josephine,
given to her by her husband. Here Ma
poleon's domestic life shone in fitful
CLEANS of happiness; but the days were
not unclouded.
It was at Fontainebleau that, on the
27th of October, 1907, the secret treaty
was concluded between the Emperor and
Godoy, so-oaIled "Prince Of the Peace"

Ink spots on polished woodwork can b0
removed by the use Of caustic soda or
oxalic acid. When the stain ia on the

Any woodwork that has been untouched

beautifully fresh and clean by an appli-
