This is the time of the year when
one can get most charming outdoor eff
fects which are rarely obtained at other
seasons, unless one cares to rise at
dawn in midsummer in order to obtain
them. At this time of the year there
is a purple-blue haze, perhaps the re-
suit OF the damp leaves which carpet
the ground at this season; but, at any
rate. 1t lends to an otherwise unlnter-
esting bit of woodland scenery an un-
expected beauty. and Will even give to
Photographic landscape Just what

had facilities for the manufacture of
ammunition. Mr.. Hull (rep.. Mich.)
vigorously opposed the amendment.
1t might be necessary, he said,
to purchase ammunition and the
hands of the government should not
be tied. Mr.. Underwood (dem., Ala
opposed placing the discretionary
power to purchase in the hands of the
war department. He was inclined to
think it led to extravaganza and job

house to the facts elected regarding

COMMISSION TO STUDY WAR.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Telegraph had an inter-
view with M. John Bloch, the peace
champion and Councillor of State. NJ.
Bloch was of the opinion that the
south African struggle suggested
many inhumanities Of warfare, which
modern skill ought to remedy. For
this purpose" said NJ. Bloch, ~ pro-
pose that a committee of responsible
persons be formed for the purpose of
collecting on the spot all facts tend
ing to throw light on the enormous
difference between warfare under the
present changed conditions and war
fare quarter of century ago. This
work would materially further the
cause of humanity, while promoting
British interests. At present we have
no means of arriving at the facts. Mil
'tary men are otherwise employed, as,
indeed, all people are at the seat of
war;. But special commission would
do the work cheaply and efficiently.
Ten thousand pounds would suffice to
pay all expenses, and am sure that
the sum could and would be sub
scribed. venture TO appeal to Eng
lish men Of all parties to favor this
suggestion, the object of which is
patriotic from every British point of
view
Being asked whether, if this sugges-
ton were taken up in England, he
himself would be willing to take part
in the labors of the commission, NJ.
Bloch answered.: Most certainly. II

don, and in any case l would place
my large collection of materials which
have prepared for the Paris exhibit
ton at the disposal of the commits
sion, and would do all else in my
power to contribute to the success oil
the enterprise. All data collected on
the spot would, of course, be com
municated in the first instance to the
British government, who would draw
such practical lessons from them as
might seem needful. Science ant

Washington, March 30.-A direct
vote was taken by the senate on the
proposition to strike from the Porto
Rico measure the provision Ievying Is
per cent. of the Dingley law duties on
Porto Rico products. The proposition
was defeated by a vote of 16 to 33.
While the vote is regarded as presag-
ing the passage of the pending measure
1t is not regarded as indicating the
final vote on the BILL The feature of
the debate was the speech of Senator
Beverage (rep., Ind). While he ad-
vocated reciprocity between tire
United States and Porto Rico
he announced that IL all
efforts to secure free trade should fail
he would support the pending bill. The
bill was under discussion throughout
the session, several important amend
ments being agreed to.
Senator Beveridge closed his speech
saying: THE great movement on
which the American people embarked
| is movement of conscience as we'll
as of power; Of civilization as we'll as
OF commerce. Directly or indirectly,
1t affects all humanity. We go forth
on world career; we must conduct ii
with world statesmanship-sta
manship that considers the effect OF
every law we pass upon peoples over
whom our influence is extending, and
upon the world at large. Sir, the ad.
ministration of government means
more than balance sheets; more thar
weights or measures. The American
people doubt not that human progress
is one past and swelling harmony
which not even all the dis
cords Of history can destroy. They
mean that in all that divine and splen.
did composition the noblest, highest
purest and tenderest note shall be thai
struck by the American people as the
sovereign power of the earth"
After other amendments had been
disposed of Senator Pettus (dem., Ala.
then moved to strike out the provision
for a duty of Is per cent of the Dingley
law rates on products of Porto Rico
imported into this country The mo.
ton was defeated, 16 to 33, as follows:

son, Harris, Jones, (Ark); Kenny
