Washington is full of the sort of rumors
that are always heard after an important
argument before the U. S. Supreme
Court, and man gullible enough might
believe that the Justices of the Court
had taken whole lot Of newspaper men
into their confidence and told them just
what the decision of the court, which is
not expected to be handed down for
weeks, will be in the cases involving the
Constitutional status of Porto Rico and
the Philippines. While no one knows
what the decision will be, the very able
argument of Acknowledgement Griggs
has increased the number of those who
believe that the decision will put the
same construction upon the Constitution
that President Mckinley's adninistra-
ton has done.

The failure of the Senate to reach a
vote on the Ship subsidy bill before the
holiday recess, has not discouraged any
of the supporters of that measure. No
attempt whatever was made to force a
vote on the bill, because its supporters
are willing to have it thoroughly dis
cussed and to join in adopting any a.
mendments which can be shown to be
beneficial to the object sought-the in
crease of merchant ships under the A
merican flag. That the bill will be passed
both by the House and Senate is
reasonably certain, because it is strictly
line with one OF the fundamental prin-
cipals of the republican party -protec-
ton to American interests-and there is
republican majority in both branches
of Congress.

Senator Lodge, who haG charge of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty which was amen
eed and ratified by the Senate, the day
before the adjournment for the Christ
mas recess, has made public a statement
concerning thestreaty as ratified, in which
he said: "The amendments were not die
tated by hostility toward England, and
still less were they in any way reflection
upon the Secretary of State, whose pa
triotism, purity ofpurpose, knowledge, ac
complishment, and high achievements in
dealing with our foreign relations, espec-
tally in China, are fully and cordially re-
cognized by men of all parties and all
shades of opinion in the Senate. The
amendments were made by the Senate,
solely because, in its opinion, they were
necessary for the interests of the United
States. The Senate is part of the treaty
making power, and treaties sent to it for
ratification are not strictly treaties, but |
projects for treaties. They are still in |
choate. In the exercise of its undoubted
rights, without the slightest reflection
upon anyone, and without shadow OF
hostility to friendly nation, the Senate,
continuing the negotiation began by Mr.
Hay, offers three new propositions to
England. They ask her to omit the
clause inviting other nations to adhere,
which does not touch her at all. They
ask her to conform to our. desires bv
agreeing in unmistakable language, to the
of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
by the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. which is
the whole purpose of the negotiation.
They ask her, finally, to accept, in this
'reaty, the reservation of rights in time
If war, which she granted to Turkey in
he Suez Convention, and of which, as
he present possessor of Egypt, she is
low herself the beneficiary It is as
much for Englahd's interests as ours to
ccept the new propositions in the
riendly spirit in which they are offered,
nd thus end a controversy over an out
Torn treaty which is only a stumbling !
lock to both nations. ''Mr. Lodge is
onhdent that the amended treaty will be
ccepted by England.

English Women Play Solitaire.

Ladies of the royal court of England,
from the queen down, are playing the
old-time game of patience" known
as solitaire in this country. Every
spare minute is taken up with one or
the other of the hundred varieties of
the game. Patience" boards. enabling
one to play the game on the knees, are
covered with eolored satin, embroidered
with various suits Of the cards. Pock-
cts are arranged for the pack, and a
book of directions accompanies each
board. The board enables the player
to stop game at any point and return
20 it later without losing her place.
But it is doubtful if the fad will take
in this country. 1t requires a vivid
imagination to eonjure up such a
spectacle as a roomful of American
women playing solitaire.

Strauss PLAYED tho Chant.

The teacher who influenced Strauss
most was one Joseph Dreshler, tho
choirmaster of st. Stevens church In
Vienna, who tried to get the waltzes
out of the boys head and put in their
place anthems and chorals. In this
undertaking he met with Indifferent
success, for the worshippers in one OF
the Vienna churches were startled on
a Sunday morning when there poured
forth from the organ, filling the gloomy
building by its enchanting notes, a
waltz instead Of the solemn Gregorian
chant to which they were accustomed.
1t was Johann Strauss, Jr., who had
