says: President Mckinley is being
asked by club women all over the

ers to the Paris exposition of 1900.

woman" Thereupon the women, who
declare 1t does not contain the word
man" for that matter, unite in urging
that their sex have representation on
the commission.

Curiosity is constantly expressed
regarding the personal appearance
of Miss Layinia II. Van Westervelt
Dempsey, famous as the Queen of
the Holland Danes. whose first
play, "The Open Door to be pre-
sented at the Opera House tonight.
Lavinia !, is tall, slight and con-
trary to ones preconceived ideas as
to how Holland Queen should
look, is decided brunette; she I'M
presses on as being rather frail
physically, is possessed of a charm
ing manner and an independe nee
of thought and actions that stamps
her as a worthy descendant of Il
sturdy race. Her versatility is
really remarkable, best evidenced
by the fact that not only has she
written the Play, but in addition
has furnished the sketches for scen
cry and costumes and the incidert-
al music.

Prohibition Defeated in Georgia.

Atlanta, Dec. BY vote Of &c
to IA the Wilingham bill was killed
in the senate yesterday ana state pro-

calls consumed an hour, a great many
senators rising to explain their votes
The debate was carried on with great

as to kill its purpose. The fight has
been the fiercest the state has ever
known along this line, but it is now

HERR BEBEL PROTESTS
SAYS GERMANY DOES NOT NEED a
GREATER ARMY.
A Socialists Speech in the Reichstag
-Rumored Alliance Between Rus
STA and Afghanistan.

BERLIN, JAM BIN the Reichstag to-
day the debate on the army bill introduced
yesterday by Lieutenant General Won Goss-
Ter, minister for war was resumed. Herr
Bebel, the Socialist leader, declared that the
maintenance of peace did not depend en-
tirely on governments, as the people of Eu-
rope earnestly desired peace. 1t was a
mockery, he said, to express sympathy with
the disarmament manifesto of Emperor
Nicholas and at the same time to introduce
the bin under consideration.
The president of the chamber at this point
called Herr Bebel to order, but, amid cheers
from the Right, the Socialist deputy con-
tinued. Russia" he said, sis forced to
avoid war owing to her internal condition,
while France is not in a position and does
not even believe herself in a position, to 60
to war with Germany unassisted This
measure is, consequently, unjustified by the
political situation. In the struggle of COM
mercial competition the victor will be the
nation possessing the most intelligent work
men, Therefore, Germany should not de-
vote her workmen for years to military
service, and the Social Democrats desire
that the military education of the young
shall be in the hands of retired officers and
noncommiSsiOned officers"
The measure was finally referred to the
budget committee.

lay, as before stated, caused by the MEM
bers of the board not being able to be pres
ent at the first appointed time, the over
annealing of the metal would have been
avoided In other words, in carrying out
my plans and specifications in all the de-
tails it was my intention to subject the
breech of the gun to the furnace neat q
little over two days only.
If this had been done, as was the case
with the muzzle end. there would have been
no trouble of overannealing or overheating
the metal
If the metal in the gun had not been in
jured as above stated, the gun. in my Judg-
ment, would have been able to stand all the
endurance tests that might have been ex-
pected of it, with full service charges, with
out any injury whatever,
It should be borne in mind that should the
steel used in any kind of a gun be over
annealed, it would be detrimental TO 1t. ana
also that the first sample OF any new lnVen-
ton is never perfect.
In my opinion it is only a question Of time
when the method of making high-poWer
guns on the built-up plan, as is now in vogue
in this country, Will have to be abandoned,
as has been done in England.
l earnestly hope that the papers that have
heretofore published articles disparagIng my
system of making heavy ordnance VIII do
me the kindness to publish this statement,
which embOdieS my ideas of the facts in the
case.
l was at Sandy Hook yesterday and saw
the gun and examined the fractured parts,
and / am convinced from the nature and
appearances of the broken pieces that the
sole cause of the bursting of the gun was
due to the overannealing of the steel, as be-
fore stated.

DINGLEY DEAD.

acquiring experience and knowledge, which
mace MIN more and more valuable.
Mr.. Dfngley was not an orator. He lacked
the physical presence, the development OF
throat and chest and quality of voice which
make men orators. None the less all the
members listened when he arose to speak.
He had a wonderfully lucid way of asserting
facts, going at once to the heart OF every
contested point. He also had a remarkable
faculty or presenting an argument: his
mind was logical to the highest degree.
Had he followed the law and been promoted
to the bench, he would have made a famous
judge, for his mental sight enabled him to
see through any htigated question with
been eminenty sound and fair.
Although living in Washington for eight
cen years, Mr.. Dingley was never caught IN
the whirlpool of dissipation. He loved So
master. He was generally in bed every
night at 10 O'Clock and at work by Z IN the
morning, an hour when nearly all Washing
ton sleeps. He knew, too, how to conserve
his forces. He never let his work get be-
hind hand Everything he did was done in
order and his systematic way made his bur
den lighter.
Mr. Dingley was a home body He would
rather read or see his friends than to stir
out of the house. Although his reading was
sense of humOr and was FOND of Mark
TWain's books Mr. Dingley was always
Prohibitionist. For many years he was pres
ident of the Congressional Temperance So
ciety an organization of cold-water legis-
lators. He was also church-goer, belong

lone Mckinney, of Auburn, Me. a daugh-

thur, are here, and fourth, Albert, is in

University of Wisconsin Boys Fight
with Police in Theater.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 19.-A crowd of
nearly LOCO students of the University of
Wisconsin attempted to break up the per-
Torrance of Fra DiavOlo" given at the
Fuller Opera House tonight, and in conse-
quence five students were locked up in the
police station. The officers attempted to
arrest number in the opera house, but
these were rescued by their fellows after a
fierce struggle. The opera house was
crowded at the time and many women were
severely handled in attempting to escape
from the building. After the play the stu
dents gathered in the streets and threat
ened all manner of violence. They refused
to disperse at the command of the chief of
police and five were arrested. They are
w. S. Todd, a senior, of Madison; Frank
M. Lacy, a junior. of Sioux Falls, S. D.;
Fred II. Knoble, freshman, of Edgerton
Otto j. Wasmandrof, junior, formerly of
Chicago, and Bert J. Swanton. freshman of
Broadhead. All will appear in court in the
morning. During the performance songs
were sung, beer passed and indecent re-
marks made, while a number got on the
seats. A number of members of the Legis-
lature were present and are loud in their
denunciation.
