thur. She was six years his senior, and
he had been betrothed to her under du-
ress at his eleventh year.
Henry VIII ordered his fathers old
lawyers, E:npson and Dudley, tried and
executed for being too diligent in bust
ness. He sent al army to recover the
lost English possessions in France, but
in this was unsuccessful. He then de-
termined to organize a larger force, and
so he sent to Calais so, 900 men, where
they were joined by MACMILLAN. In the
battle which soon followed with the
French cavalry they lost their habitual
sang froid and most Of their hand bag
gage in a wild and impetuous flight. It
is still called the Battle of the Spurs.
This was in 1913.
In the report Of the engagement sent
to the king nothing was said Of the
German emperor, fer the reason, as was
a by the commander, that he does
not desire notice, and, in fact, Maxi
milan objections to the use of his
name. This remark still furnishes food
for thought on rainy days at Balmoral
and makes the leaden hours go gayly BY.
During the year 1913 the Scots in
vaded England under James, but though
their numbers were superior, they were
sadly defeated at Flcdden Field, and
when the battle was over their king
and the flower of their nobility Law
dead upon the scene.
WOlsey, who was made cardinal in
1915 by the pope, held a tremendous
influence over the young king and in
directly ruled the country. He ostensi-
bly, presented a humble demeanor, but
in his innermost soul he was the laugh
test human being alat ever concealed
beneath the cloak Of humility all inhex-
IDLE, tough and durable heart.
On the death Of Macmillan, Henry
had some notion Of pre-eMpting the va
cant throne, but 70 discovered that
Charles V Of Spain had a prior lien 70
the same, and thus, in 1920, this new
potentate became the greatest power in
the civilized world. It is hard to be-

| ernor Stone of Missouri, who said that they
wanted the Democratic National Conven-
| ton in st. Louis; they wanted it in Mis-
souri, not because they needed it there to
carry Missouri for the Democracy, De-
cause they would carry 1T anyhow.
| Cheers There was not particle OF
doubt about that
The oratorv of the afternoon was closed
| nv a feryeut speech in favor of st. Louis
| by Senator Vest, one of whose remarks,
s"rhat the claws of the Tammany tigers
are red with the blood of the Republican
party" brought out tumultuous applause.
Speaking of the climatic conditions OF st.
Louis he ridicuIed the description that
people there were 'parched fried, roasted
and fricasseed and that the water was
muddy" And he brought down the
house again by exclaiming, "Who ever De-
fore heard in a Democratic convention OF
anybody complaining about water?
''Do you suppose" he asked, " that the
delegates would be made either our OF ice
or wax? We want no icy or waxy Demo-
crats-no political dudes, but polltlcai
heroes with manly iron in their blood ana
with nerves of steel, who can carry the
flag of the Democratic party in all latl-
tudes and In all dangers.
Referring to the speech OF Chauncey l.
Filley of st. Louis before the National he-
publican Convention, Senator Vest SAID;
Il accept the gage of battle thrown down
in this hall by Mr.. Filley, who with strl-
dent voice uelared: We've got EN-, we've
got 'em, but if you will give US this con-
vention, will be personally responsible
for 10000 Republican majority IN Mis-
souri,
"Yes," Mr. Vest declared in scorntul
tones, "he has got them. He has got them
as the boy got the hornets, and he will
scream to his mother, Come and take the
blamed thing away" Loud laughter
and applause]
Continuing, Mr.. Vest said: "Do you
know what it is to lose Missouri? You
expect to lose Illinois, you expect to lose
Ohio; you may lose New York, but if you
lose Missouri you break that solid pha-
lanx Of Democratic votes which has stood
like granite wall before the attacks of the
Republican horde, and you Will be in the
hands of the Repu blican enemy for an in
definite time to come"
Talking of the silver question and its in
fuence on the selection of a convention
city, Mr.. Vest said:
Governor Francis believes in a gold
standard, and 1 in the free coinage of sill
yer, but when the political fight comes we
will stand together.
Normans and Saxons and Danes are we,
But Democrats ell in our love for thee.
[Cheers.]
1.-The Democracy of Missouri will do
their duty well in 1896, as i'll the past, and
we will scatter Filley and his gang before
US as the cyclone scatters the dust and
leaves the water
This closed the oratorical display, which
lasted for nearly three hours, and which
was throughout of an usually high and
entertaining character, and as such was
enthusiastically applauded. The audience
room was then closed to all but the mem
bers and officers of the National Commit
tee. and the balloting for the choice of the
convention city began.

bill, by which bonds were to be issued by
the Government and the canal con-
structed by it, and that it was to be
strictly an enterprise of the United
States-to be constructed, paid for, owned
and controlled by the Government.
"But Senator Morgan's bill proposes to
construct the canal hy our guaranteeing
bonds of company, so it will not cost our
Government anything,'' said President
Cleveland.
In reply Barham called his attention to
the decision in the case of the United
States against the Stanford estate, holding
that individual stockholders were not
liable for the debts of a corporation. Bar.
ham said that if the United States guar
anteed these bonds under Senator Nor
gan's bill, the same difficulty might be
experienced as in the case of the Pacific
roads.
He thought it far better that the Govern
ment should issue its own bonds and con-
struct its own canal. He estimated that
the canal could be constructed for con-
siderably less than reported by the Mic
aragua Commission, and did not think it
would cost more than 100000, 900, and
perhaps not more than $4,000, 900. He
quoted Captain Merry and other experts
who say that probably 100000 tons of
freight would PASS through the canal
yearly, and at 81 ton the gross income
would be $16,000,000 The operation of the
canal would not cost more than 81 SOC, 900
annually, leaving q net profit of about
$14, 800 900 a year.
Ii these estimates were correct or an
proximately SO the canal would paw for
itself in ten years even if it should cost
$3.50, 100000 to construct it, and if it should
cost no more than $75, 100000 it would be
paid for in five years.
Barham was we'll pleased with his in

ing a speech which will demolish the areu.
ments put forth by Joseph Nimmo Jr.. the
alleged statistical expert Nimmo de-
clared that the Nicaragua route would be
difficult of approach by sailing vessels be-
cause it is in the equatorial calm belt.',
He quoted Lieutenant Maury as saying in
his book that the Nicaragua canal was in
the equatorial calm.
Barham shows that Maury was mis-
quoted, and that he referred to the
Panama route as being within the calm
belt, while Nicaragua, according to
Maury, is outside of it. Barham accuses
Nimmo of deliberately and willfully seek
Ing to misrepresent the facts.
There are only three calm belts" said
he, Capricorn, Cancer and the equatorial
Maury says distinctly that Nicaragua is
outside of the equatorial belt, while
Panama is within it, and that conse
quently, Nicaragua is by far the best
route for sailing vessels. Nimmo we'll
knew that Maury had reference to Panama.
and deliberately sought to deceive Con-
gress. Therefore shall seek to impeach
his testimony; for it is a maxim of the
law, 'Falsus in unum, falsus in ON

National Banks Asked to Explain
the Advantages of the
Investment.
CAN ASSIST THE GOVERNMENT,
Subscriptions Could Be Secured bv
Calling Patrons Attention TO
the Loan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-James
ii. Eckles, Comptroller of the Currency,
to-day issued the following circular to the
$500 National banks of the United States :
Some days since at the request of the
secretary Of the Treasury, [ caused to be
forwarded to you circulars inviting pro-
posais for the per cent bonds soon to be
issued by the Government. In order that
offers for the same may be made more in
te.llgentiy by those desiring to bid there
has been prepared by the Treasury De-
partment the inclosed statement exhibit
ing the prices to be paid for the bonds in
order to return to the investor certain
rates of interest in said statement men
toned.
1t Is the desire of the Government that
these bonds be distributed as widely as
possible, and as they are of a character
which affords to National banks especially
desiring to obtain circulation thereon a
Longtime investment, your attention is
called to them, both as to this particular
feature and that of the general character
OF the investment.
1T is suggested that the National banks
can materially aid the Government in
popuiarizing this loan by calling the at
tention of their patrons to the desira bility
OF it as an investment or in stimulating
subscriptions thereto. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that you explain to your patrons
IN detail the manner of making bids and
the terms thereof, thus giving them the
fullest information upon the subject. In
this matter it is believed that many of our
people who might otherwise feel indiffer-
ent to the investment would see the
advantage attached to it and wish to par
ticipate therein"

SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
GrotC Denounced u Publication Concern
ing Scaling Seizures.

GrOtc Denounced u Publication Concern
ing Sealing Seizures.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 16-At the
beginning OF the proceedings of the House
Grow (R.) of Pennsylvania sent to the
clerks desk to be read as the basis of
statement upon question of privilege an
extract from pamphlet published by the
New York Chamber of Commerce to the
effect that Congress had refused to pay
$400 900 for the seizure of Canadian sealers
and found to be due by the Paris tribunal
of arbitration, thereby preventing the
Government from settling a debt which it
was in honor bound to pay.
On point made by Crisp Cd of Georgia
Speaker Reed ruled that it presented no
question of privilege, but Grow succeeded
IN denouncing the publication as false.
Bills were passed on motion of Perkins
(R.) of Iowa to print 5000 copies of a com
pilation of the customs laws and on
motion of Murphy (R.) OF Arizona
authorizing the leasing of school and edu-
cational lands in the Territory of Arizona.
The House then concluded the general
debate on the pension appropriation bill,
speeches being made by: Clark (R.) OF
Iowa, Griffin (R.) of Wisconsin, Hatch
(R.) of Indiana, Brumm (R.) of Penn

(R.) OF Utah, asking the Secretary of the
Interior the probable time tnat certain
lands within the Uncompahgre reserva-
tion in Utah, known as the Asphalt
lands will be restored to the public do
main. The resolution was agreed to.
Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania called up the
general pension appropriation bill for
further consideration in the committee of
the whole. Speeches were made, the prin-
cipal topics of which were the honor and
valor of the soldiers of the late war and a
denunciation of the statement made by
Bartlett CD of New York in his speech on
Monday TO the effect that the efforts to
secure further pension legislation had for
their object the looting of the treasury, by
Clark (R.) of Iowa, Griffin (R.) of Wiscon-
sin, Hatch (R.) of Indiana, Drum (R.) of
Pennsylvania and Dovenor (R.) of West
Virginia.
Blue (R.) of Kansas, who reported the
into q discussion of it under the FIVE
minute rule there should be full state
ment of the provisions of The bill. The
committee, he said, cut down the esti-
mates of the Secretary Of the Interior by
$59, $50. The other provisions, Blue said,
were inserted by the committee as rebuke
to the inhospitable and unfriendly action
of the Pension Bureau, not as new legis-
lation, but as an expression of what the
law was and what the proper construction
should be.
The committee then rose.
Moody (R.) of Massachusetts announced
the death of his predecessor General Will
liam Coggswell, on May % last, and the
usual resolutions were adopted, and as a
further mark of respect the House at 8 so
adjourned until tomorrow.

ELIOT AN ARCH TRAITOR,
Harvard's President Roundly
Scored by Miss Susan B.
Anthony.
Suffrage, She Says, Is Decidedly One
Of the BulwarkS of This
Government.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. 16.-Miss
Susan b. Anthony, the great leader of the
woman suffragists, was very much agi-
tated when she read Charles W. Eliot's
reply to ner criticism of him in her annual
call for the convention of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association As made
public through letter to Bishop Doane of
Albany, an enemy of suffrage to women
In the call the following extract appears:
AS the president of Harvard University
says: The exercise of suffrage stimulates
all citizens to reflect on problems outside
the narrow circle of their private interests
and occupations

was at convention of all the superin
tendents of schools of the United States.
Before great audience he arose and de-
clared that it was not in the interest OF
American patriotism or loyalty to have
women teachers in the schools He said
that the system of employing women
teachers should be done away with and
that only men be employed. There |
formed my idea of the man, and l have
not changed it. For him to say. as he
does In his letter, that suffrage is not one
OF the bulwarks of this Nation is idle talk.
and shows up the man. 1t is one of the
greatest OF her bulwalks, and our country
could not exist as it does without this bull
Wark.
Regarding the criticism that have in
any way distorted his letter, it is not true.
The word the instead of these was sim
ply an error of the printer. 1t is harmful
to the Nation TO have such man as Mr..
Eliot at the head of such great institu-
ton as Harvard University. In my mind
Mr.. Eliot is not an American of whom a
true patriot should be proud. He is an
arch traitor, and has by this letter alone
committed treason"
Speaking further, Miss Anthony said i;
of, as President Eliot says, he did not
regard suffrage as one of the bulwarks of
this Government, then surely he left out
the underpinning of the whole structure.
Ii he did not mean to include that, he
ought to have meant to do so." Miss An
thony hoped her views would be rightly
stated before the public.
