brary Building by Miss Beach of This
City.
This afternoon about all the citizens
of Newtown will turn out to witness the
| exercises attendant upon the presenta-
ton of the new public library to the
town by Miss Rebekah d. Beach Of

years was rector of the Newtown and

COUNTESS TOLSTOI.

The Countess Tolstoi is q noble wo-
man who has met the difficulty which
her husbands life and views have pre-
scented with remarkable tact and wis
dom Despite the care of large fami-
ly, for she is the mother of thirteen
children, and the entire management of
an estate, she finds time to assist her
husband in his literary labors. Count
Tolstois writing is exceedingly diff
cult to decipher, and the infinite pa
thence with which she copies his books
bears witness of her devotion. With
regard to catering to her husbands
tastes in the matter of diet, she is
quoted as saying that she could give
dinners of fruits grains and vegetables
three hundred and siXty-tive days in

calculated to impair gravely the eff
cheney of the public service and dimin-
ish the chances of reform in the sys-
tenn of national defence. The same
canker work of nepotism had entered
the army and navy, and it was the gen.
eral opinion that many of the disasters
in South Africa We're traceable to Off
GERS who had obtained their commits

When the premier's nephew, A. j.
Balfour, rose to reply the House was
filled with expectation. He said the
unhappy accident of birth ought not to
be bar to public service. There was
only one member of Lord Salisbury's
family in the present government who
was not in the last. Mr.. BARLEY, he
added, had not shown that the ap-
pointees complained of were incapable,
while the country at the recent election
had shown confidence that the premier
would carry out with ability and integ-
rity his thankless, heart breaking task.
The amendment was lost by vote
of $50 to 1913.

step of great power at that moment
would be critical and lead to no result.
There was no use for u.s. said the
chancellor, ''to pinch our fingers he
tween the door and the hinge" The
chancellor added that when the sug-
gestion of mediation was made to Great
Britain by the United States in quite
gentlyWorded inquiry it was rejected
officially and categorically. Interventian
might have led to war.
The chancellor described the reply of
M. Delcasse the French minister of for
eign acairs, to Mr. Kruger, in which M
Delcasse says: France in no case will
take the initiative but would not OPP
pose it when certain eventualities be-
came known, provided they We're calcu-
lated to serve French interests"
The chancellor thereupon remarked
that he could not have dealt with the
situation better himself. Ovations to
Mr.. Kruger in Germany, he pointed out,
would have displaced international re-
lations and served no purpose of Mr..
Kruger or of Germany. Germany was
not bound to Great Britain by hairs
bound to Germany But to act the Don
Quixote against Great Britain would be
a piece of folly for which he would not
be responsible.
Although the Kruger matter will he
taken up again in the Reichstag, Count
Won Buelow's speech, evidently prepar-
ed with great care, was so overwhelm-
ing in its array of powerful facts that
it amounted to sweeping victory over
the entire opposition, The imperial
chaneellor's involuntary humor and his
particularly apt quotations extorted
hearty laughter from his bitterest OPP
ponents. So far as German politics go,
the incident is closed. AT all events,
this was the evident opinion of the
Reichstag when adjournment was taken
at a late hour.

lie will see how these abominable
charges will be dealt with by the courts.
My relations are al business men and
have had to make their own fortunes,
come of a family which boasts moth
ing of distinguished birth or inherited,
wealth, but has an unbroken record for
nearly two centuries of unstained COM
mercial integrity. Never during the
whole course of my political career have
| been asked to use my influence to Sc
cure pecuniary gain for myself or my
relations"
Proceeding to explain his connection
with the two companies, Mr.. Chamber
lain said he had Joined the Colombo
company twenty-three years ago. Its
shares had never been quoted on the
stock exchange. The contract to build
huts for Boer prisoners in Ceylon was
given to the Colombo company on the
responsibility of the local government
without any communication with him
self.
So far as the Birmingham trust was
concerned, he said he knew nothing
whatever of its investments, although
he had recently ascertained that there
was a trlflng investment in the Tubes
limited, since his brother managed tl75
business of that organization, but the
company's already small business with
the admiralty had largely declined At
ter having made further explanations
of a similar kind Mr.. Chamberlain eX-
claimed amid ministerial cheers:
lis it not hard to have to deal with
such rubbish as this? When all is
reckoned up perhaps my indirect inter
est in government contracts is few
pounds, or even shillings; and yet the
house of commons is called upon to pass
a solemn resolution which will not strike
me, but will be self-denying ordinance
for many members who do not antici-
pate that result
In an eloquent peroration the colonial
secretary declared that the attacks had
not injured him, but had given pain to
number of private individuals. Those
who had made them, he asserted, had
introduced into public life unworthy
methods and had made 1t more difficult
for honorable and sensitive men to serve
the country. He was loudly cheered as
he resumed his seat.
His son, j. Austin Chamberlain finan-
cial secretary to the treasury depart
ment, followed with similar denials.
r. B. Haldane, radical, member for
Haddingtonshire, and others spoke, af-
ter which Mr.. Lloyd Georges motion,
which was offered as an amendment to
the address, was rejected by vote of
269 to 127.
Arthur J. Balfour, the government
leader, then moved the closure, which
was carried by 1853 votes against 106,
and the address to he throne was
