you will all agree, was the Wilson bill
At this there arose. OF course, a murmur
Of good humored sarcasm, which soon
grew into a lOng-sustained uproar OF

right moment for interrupting 1t had
come, Mr. Wilson continued:

It appears that the Observation-Disclosures
or carelessness Of some one in the British
Foreign Office came very near straining
still further. when they were at very
acute stage. the relations between this
country and Great Britain over the Vene-
zuela matter It will be remembered
that when the excitement was at its
height the state Department in Wash
ington was disturbed by the failure Of
Lord Salisbury to answer one of its most
important dispatches. 1t is now learned
that the response I'm question was duly
drafted, written. and signed by Lord
Salisbury, but. through some mistake,
got into the diplomatic bag for China,
and was delivered in due course to the
British Envoy at Picking, much to his
perplexity.

one Of the latest fin de steele sugges-
lions is that beginning with 1900 the
wears be divided into thirteen months, in
stead Of twelve, as now. 1t Is proposed
under the new division to give twenty
eight days TO each month, except the
thirteenth, which would have twenty-nine
days in ordinary years and thirty days
one year in four
In support of the suggestion it is con-
tended that the change would work 10
great advantage. by largely dispensing
with the need Of calendars and simplify
ing calculations regarding interest the
maturing of notes etc. However, the
supersttious might object to the recon-
struction, on the ground that under 1t
every year might be an unlucky year.
