HOSTILE TO BISMARCK.
The German Relchstag Declines to Proffe
Birthday Congratulations.

The German ReIchstag Declines to Proffer
Birthday Congratulations.
The German Reichstag at Berlin, by vote
Of 163 to 146, rejected the proposal Of Herr
Won Levetzow, President Of that body. that
the Reichstag charge him with the duty OF
offering the congratulations of the Chamber
to Prince Bismarck upon the occasion Of the
ex-Chancellor's eightieth birthday. When
the result Of the vote was announced, Presi-
dent Won Levetzow Immediately resigned.
The Socialists. Radicals, Catholics, Inde-
pendents, and Poles succeeded in defeating
the measure. Animmense uproar resulted In
the House and cries Of ''shame" came from
the floor and the galleries. There were loud
cheers from the Opposition when President
Won Levetzow left the chair. The Govern
ment supporters proclaimed that the Reich
stag had made itself ridiculous in the eyes Of
the world and demands were made for the
immediate dissolution ofthe Chamber.
The incident was straightway reported to
Emperor William, who Immediately sent to
Prince Bismarck this telegram:
"Prince Won Bismarck. Duke Won Lauen-
burg, Friedrichsruh: have to convey to
Your Serene Highness the expression Of my
most profound indignation at the action
WHICH, Cuo uolciESlaS litsS JuSt lahou. IL u IL
direct opposition to the feelings of all the
German Princes and peoples. WILLIAM"
Emperor William received the following
reply:
ITO His Majesty, Emperor and King: I
pray Your Majesty to accept the respectful
expression Of my gratitude for the most
gracious message by which Your Majesty has
transformed the action Of my political op-
ponents, concerning which am not yet fully
Informed. into source Of joyful satisfaction.
BISMARCK"
The loss Of an army bill could not have
excited Germany more than the Reichstag's
refusal to congratulate Bismarck.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
European Interference on This Hemisphere
Dangerous to Our Peace and Safety.

European Interference on This Hemisphere
Dangerous to Our Peace and Safety.
President Monroe was elected in 1876, and
in 1920 he was reelected. Chile declared Its
independence of Spain in 1910, Paraguay in
1911, Colombia, then including Venezuela,
in 1919, Mexico in 1921, Peru IN the
same wear, and Brazil revolted from
Portuguese domination In 1922 The other
States of South and Central America, nota-
bly,, Argentina, had followed in the footsteps
of the United States by freeing themselves
from European control, and the covert propo-
sition to re-establish it evoked from the
President these ncver-to-be-forgotten words,
part of his annual message to the Eignteenth
Congress on December 2. 1928:
"We owe it to candor and to the amica-
BILE relations existing between the united
States and the allied powers, to declare
that we should consider any attompt on
their part to extend their system to-any por-
ton OF this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing Colo
nies or dependencies Of any European
power we have not interfered, and shall not
interfere: but with the Governments whlch
have declared their independence and main
tanned it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and Just prln-
ciples acknowledged, we could not view an
interposition for expressing them, or con-
trolling in any other manner their destiny,
by any European power, IL any other llGnt
than ns q manifestation Of an unfri endly dis
position toward the United States

Lives Lost and Property Consumed by

All but one member Of Hose Company No.

Company, excepting the Captain, Is COM
posed Of colored men. Tho dead
are: Harold W. Hartwell, Captains
F. S. Brawley, Lieutenant; Rich
ard Dandridge; Stephen Martin. The
blaze was discovered by tho clerk.
Every room in the house was occupied. All
the occupants escaped without injury. The
unfortunate flremen were cropping about in
the binding smoke in the rotunda of
the hotel when the tile and cement
floor gave way, precipitating them
into the basement, where they
were mangled and suffocated. Four other
firsmen who fell with them managedto climb
out, though badly bruised and lacerated and
nearly overcome by the dense smoke. 1t was
more than an hour after the accident that the
body of Captain Hartwell was found, and
fully two hours later before the others were
remOyed

NEW HAMPSHIRE FORESTS.
They Cover Sixty Per Cent. of vie State,
but Are Not Conserved Property.

The second annual report of the New
Hampshire Forestry Commission says that
the forest area comprises practically sixty.
per cent Of the entire area of tho State, and
has not greatly changed since the publication
Of the report OF the first temporary Forestry.
Commission in 1885. The amount OF virgin
spruce forest in New HAMPSHIRE is SOS, 600
acres, about SOC. 900 acres of this being in the
White Mountain district. The annual pro-
duct from its acreage is about $50, 200, 900
feet board measure, and the amount used fcs
pulp is increasing about fifteen per cent. EACH
year. The lumbermen. as a rule. continue TOT
cut their lands clean. thereby destroying
all opportunity for reproduction OF spruce'
by growth Of small trees. while the large
pulp mills, which own vast tracts Of virgin
forest. cut none less than twelve inches IN !
diameter ut tho stump. and are already reap
ing the benefits Of such course.
The methods OF numbering are discussed.
and the conclusion is arrived at that change
Is necessary. and that tn" State must soon
face the question how it will stay the ruthless3
waste and protect its forests. IL Is SuggeStedf
that by the exercise: III the right OF eminentt
domain for the erection Of a series Of puhlict
forest preserves the State could effe1tually,
secure this object, and make the White Moun-t
tain range II source Of constant income, un-.
failing water supply, and perpetual sconic'
pleasure.

of the Old School Passes Away.
Ex-Congressman Richard Vaux. who had
been ill Of the grip at his home in Philadel-
phia, Penn, for several days, is dead. He

years he had been prominent there, and was
one Of the most eccentric men in that city. Mr..
Vaux was gentleman OF the old school, and a
man OF striking personal appearance. One OF
his marked peculiarities was that he has
never worn an overcoat nor carried an um-
brella, no matter what the state Of weather,
and he always appeared on the street in
patent leather pumps.
While Secretary to Minister Stevenson at
the Court of st. Jamess many years ago Mr.
VauX enjoyed the honor unusual to citizen
of republic Of being selected by Queen Vic
toria TO dance quadrilie with her. MIR.
Vaux was Mayor Of Philadelphia. Recorder
(an Office now sbolished). and was elected to
the Fifty-Second Congress to finish the unex-
pred term Of Samuel J. Randall.
