no laid for twenty guests and at each
Slate there will repose an immense punch
of American Beauty roses tied with
streamers of red. white and blue ribbon

The dinner which is to be given by ore
of the highest Earls of England is TO be-

can women Of the United Kingdom, but

ronage and their indirect vote.
The recent accessions TO the ranks OF
British nobility in the persons of the
Hon. Mrs. Harold Barring and the Hon.
Mrs. Dayrell Crakanthrope, both of
whom will some day wear titles and
who are now not without their political
influence. has so swollen the list of titled
Amercins that the attempt to get along,
rs we would say, politically, without them
would be quite like giving representa-

Dane. Although America is the home of
the strong minded woman, II IS England

BOSTON we introduced n new and I'M

gave free instruction TO children. ok
swimming instructors were employed
and between 5000 and 4000 children were
taught to swim. our only charge Is Tor
towels and for the use OF complete
bathing suit The rate is one cent Tor
towels and five cents for suits. Az
one bathing place situated in part OF
the city where the poorest people live,
we gave suits TO men and women without
cost. believing that even the low sum OF
five cents would keep many from the
bath. This policy resulted successfully
and will be continued. Two weeks ago
we opened our first all-the- year-round
bathing house This cost, with its equip
ments $4,000 and It accommodates loo
bathers at a time. Our 'all-the-year bath
IS free, with the exception OF one cent
for a towel or one cent for soap, but
these are furnished free 10 school chill

I may add that Boston IS conducting n

NEW TARIFF IN HAWAII
Our Revenue Laws and Customs to
Apply at Once.
BILL NOW BEING PREPARED
UawaH Is to Become an Independent
Customs Collection District-1m.
mediate Action Purposed to
Stop Tariff Evasion.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The house COM
nittee on ways and means has author
lied the preparation of bill to make
the customs and internal revenue laws
Of the United States apply to the terri
tory of Hawaii. 1t will be put into
shape by the subcommittee on customs,
of which Chairman Dingley Is the head,
and reported to the full committee.
The bill makes an Independent GUS
toms collection district of Hawaii, with
headquarters at Honolulu, and SUPPORTS
of entry at three of the principal towns
in the islands. The president is author
lied also to make an internal revenue
district of the islands or to attach them
to an already existing district in the
United States proper.
The argument in favor Of immediate
action in regard to these laws, instead
Of waiting for the bill providing gen.
eral system Of laws for the islands, rec
commended by the Hawaiian commits
sion to become operative on July 4. Is
that large quantity of goods Is being
imported into Hawaii under the present
law in force there, with the intention Of
bringing them into the territory of the
United States proper when the territory
of Hawaii becomes fully incorporated
into the body polite. The average rate
of duty under the Hawaiian custom law
is about 10 per cent, and the free list Is
very large.
A bill to make these laws effective at
once, as does the bill authorized by the
committee, has been introduced in the
house by Mr.. Payne and in the senate
by Mr. Elkins

in an interesting discussion over the
issue as to whether the early leaders of
Vermont through their participation in
the Haldimand correspondence, had any
intention of uniting the Green Mountain
territory with Great Britain. As to their
real intentions it is a difficult problem
to solve at this late day, but one thing is
certain, that Ira Allen and his colleagues
performed as shrewd bit of diplomacy
as ever did honor to the sons of Ameri-
ca. No dlplomatists W ere ever placed

A TILT OVER THE CANAL.
Senator's Allen and Morgan Exchange
XfeMs-HOuse Passes Pension Bill.

| Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Plat
| (Conn.) introduced a joint resolution In
the senate authorizing the president to
enter into negotiations with other ma
lions for the protection of neutral prop
erty at sea.
Mr.. Plat also gave notice that he
would address the senate next Monday
on the right Of the government of the
| United States to acquire territory.
Mr. Morgan presented a memorial
from the national board of trade favor
able to the construction of the Nicara-
qua canal. asking that the document
be printed in The Congressional Rec
ord. Mr.. Allen objected, and the OBJ
| lection proved the basis of an animated
discussion involving the rules of the
senate as we'll as the wisdom of the
construction Of the canal. Mr.. Morgan
accepted the objection as an effort to
obstruct the legislation for the canal
and prevent the country's securing in
formation on the subject.
| Mr. Allen resented this imputation,
saying that he was favorable to the
canal on general principles though ad-
vocating government ownership. He
/ predicted that the canal would cost
$500, 100000.
| The house took up the consideration
of the pension appropriations bill. Be-
fore it was taken up the conference re-
port on the bill extending the marine
inspection laws to sailing vessels Of 700
tons and over and providing for the
licensing of second and third mates was
adopted
/ The time occupied in the discussion
of the pension bill was brief. 1t was
then passed. 1t carries $145, 233,S30.
| Under the special order Mr.. Hill
(Rep., Comm then called up the bill
ito carry into effect the recommended
tons of the International American
conference by the Incorporation Of the
International bank"
Mr.. Bailey Dem., Tex.) raised the
point of order that the bill came irreg-
ularly before the house and that Mr.. Hill
had no authority to call up the bill.
The chair overruled the point of order.
, and the house entered upon the consid-
Grafton Of the bill without limitation
as to debate.
Mr.. Brosius (Rep Pa.) made a gen.
eral presentation of the merits of the
measure.
