Nizza. For some time before that she had

she insisted on appearing. She rode all

brilliant than usual. But even while the
applause was ringing through the place

self without the pale Of other more ex-

She recently brought into this world a
litter of ten pigs. and about the same

birth TO several puppies. The mother of

Toward the close of the eighteenth cen

to the general public as clubs and to the
samesters as 'heils"-were fitted up in
most extraordinary style. Fishmongers'

but the proprietor of Fishmongers' is
recorded TO have boasted that he was in
no danger, inasmuch as he counted among
his members the majority of those who
made the laws.
The passion for frequenting these houses
brought about some singular social anon
allies in England. A nobeman. the head
of a highly popular wing family in the
west of England originally of immense
wealth, died in 1899 in d wretched garnet
in an obscure quarter of London, having
many years previously lost all az faro.
In 1910 one of the Oldest baronets in Eng
land, having lost his fortune in similar
way, was making his living by driving a
stage coach. Finally Lord De Ros, one
of the most respectable of the gaming
nobility. was accused of practcing "
certain trick at whist. When, in 1887, the
matter came up for trial, it was proved
that he cheated habitually and that some
of his noble associates. knowing this.
prudently played with him rather than
against him.

disgrace. After his death Theodore Hook

Journed after prayer. and. led by Lieut..

THE CLAYTON-BULwER TREATY.
british Official Claims 1t is Still in
Force and Effect.

LONDON. February 19.-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal report, maintaining that
Great Britain nullified the Clayton Bulwer
treaty by securing control of the Suez
route to the far east, is not taken seriously
here. The views of the British government
on the subject We're expressed to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press by a high
official. who said:
Officially, of course, It is not necessary
TO consider any such argument. as Wash
Ington has already recognized that the
treaty has not been abrogated by the fact
that they have requested modification of
it Apart from this, Mr.. Hepburn's argu-
ment is illogical and far-fetched. The cabi-
net would have stoutly denied that the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty was either abrogat-
ed or lapsed, had any such contention
been raised. But il was not, and, of course
We cannot now recognize any such argu-
ment. We are watching with interest the
progress of the Nicaragua matter in the
United States, though nothing more has
been done automatically. We have given
our consent and We are simply waiting for
the decision of Congress"

THE MACRUM INCIDENT.
Passage by the House of the Wheeler
Resolution

In the House of Representatives this
afternoon Mr.. Hit of Illinois, as a matter
OF privilege, reported back from the COM
mittee on foreign affairs the Wheeler reso-
ution calling upon the State Department
fer information as to the truth of the
charges of Mr.. Macrum, ex-consul to Pre-
toria, condemning the opening of his mail
by the British authorities, and it was
adopted without debate.
LONDON, February 19.-No action has
yet been taken by the British government
in regard to the allegations made by Chas
L. Macrum, the former United States con-
sui at Pretoria, nor has Mr.. Joseph H.
Choate, the United States ambassador
here, received any instructions to make
inquiries in connection with the matter
The British officials declare THAT it is ex-
tremely improbable that consular letters
We're opened at Durham, as alleged by Mr.
Macrum
The cabled rumors that Mr. Choate might
be reca led in order to show the United
States governments resentment against
the alleged treatment received by Consul
Macrum at the hands of the British Off
cials are declared at the United States EN-
bassy TO be utterly ridiculous.

OUR INSULAR POSSESSIONS.
Both Houses of Congress Discussing
the Vital Question.

Both houses of Cor gress were absorbed
today in the question Of the constitutional
requirements in dealing with our insular
possessions.
The House took up the Porto Rico tarin
bill, and so eager was the Senate to take
up the question that a learned discussion
of Constitution Interpretation with refer
ence to territories was entered upon in con-
nection with a District of Columbia teie-
phone resolution; and after the expiration
of the morning hour the same line of dis
cussion continued with reference to Ha-
waii.
There is much uncertainty to the fate
of the Porto Ricln bill in the House. The
debate will continue for a week. and II Is
believed that this debate will influence the
determination of the question. The Presi-
dent informs those who agree with him
that he has not changed his opinion as u
the wisdom of giving free trade to Porto
Rico but the contrary position is made n
party dictum by the republicans in Con-
gress.
Ore of the leaders in support of the bsi
said today that he was confident that the
bill would pass, but that at this time the
friends of the bill had no definite informa-
ton as to the number of republicans who
would vote against it

MET OLD ASSOCIATES,
EN-Speaker Reed Greeted Friends at

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed is in Wash

at several of the executive departments
and paid his respects to the Secretaries.
He was about the House of Representa-
tives today for the first time since his re-
tirement from the House, and his appear
ance was the signal for quite levee in the
ways and means committee room. As the
Porto Rican debate was about to begin in
the House, with it's attendant constitu-
tional questions, Mr.. Reeds visit at first
excited some conjecture, as possibly con-
nected with the issue involved. 1t was
learned authoritatively, however, that the
ex-Speaker had no such errand and that
he was not aware of the debate until he
reached the Capitol. He conferred with
most of the republican members of the
