SOCIETY GIRLS NEWSPAPER,

Society here and in New Orleans, says a Mobile dispatch is watching with pride the journalistic venture of two of its fav- orites, Miss Amanda Moore and Miss Hodgson. Miss Moore is nearly as well known in New York as she is at home. She is also popular in the exclusive set of Washington.
 Her father, Rittenhouse Moore, is of ten in New York, where he is recognized as a successful business man and regard ed as one of the new financiers of the New South. Miss Moores mother, as Miss Randolph, was a Virginia belle.
 Miss Hodgson is the daughter of Col onel Hodgson, an editor of this city. When she was F years old she wrote a Modern Ivanhoe." It was accepted, printed and had a good sale in the South. Like most Southern girls, she wrote verse when at school, and some of it was very clever.
 These young women are editors and proprietors of Chat, weekly publication devoted to social affairs. They write all the copy, revise the proofs and look after the business office as we'll

Senatorial DeadIocks.

The Senatorial deadlocks are pro- gressing serenely. This they have been doing several weeks. MT. Clark was readily elected in Montana, but his col league has not been, and the seat now filled by Mir. Carter, Republican, will be vacant March 4.
 From Oregon MT. Mcbride, Repub- lican, will go out of Congress on March 4, and the Republicans are unable to agree upon a successor. It is a State given to deadlocks, and the present one shows no signs of solution.
 The situation in Nebraska is compli- cated by the railroads. Two seats now filled by Mr. Allen, Populist, and MT. Thurston, Republican, will be vacant March 4. The Republicans control the Legislature, but they are balloting for a dozen candidates, and no one of them is near majority.
 The Addicks trouble in Delaware has split the Republicans into two parts, and no Democratic votes are purchasable in that State. Two seats will be vacant March 4.
 In other words, if the four Legisla- lures adjourn without selecting Sena- tors, the Republicans will be short five Senators, and the Democrats one "a net Republican loss of four seats. But as this will not affect the political status of the Senate no one gives it much attention, except MT. Hanna, who has ordered the Delaware Repub- licans to elect two Republican Sena- tors, intimating that Addicks is good enough for him or the administration. His position is eminently sound and correct.

TENDER-HEARTED QUEEN.

From the London Telegraph.
 Queen Elena of Italy Is almost as fruit ful of anecdotes as was Queen Margher- ita, but of an entirely different kind The other day a baby boy just beginning to walk escaped from his nurse and toddled down the street. when an immense dog began rough play with him, knocking him over, just as the Queen came out of the palace to cross the street to the Church of Sant' Andrea The latter at once stopped and picked up the terrified baby in her arms, while the nurse, look ing frightened arrived at the same mo- ment. The Queen looked at her kindly, and said in her pretty broken Italian, My dear, that is not the way to look after a baby" "Oh, Your Majesty" said the trembling girl, 'I am so sorry, and. Your Majesty, do look at your dress Let me clean it, Your Majesty" Thereupon she fell upon her knees in the street and began to vigorously rub the front of the Queens black frock, which was very dusty from the feet of the youngster in her arms. Meanwhile the child, attracted by charm on the Queens chain, refused to go down, and to avoid a scene was carried in triumph in the arms of Queen Elena as far as the high altar, when he was put gently down, the Queen glancing comically at her dusty gown

country against European aggression of all sorts. The protection will run to them anyway.
 The Monroe doctrine has long GOV cred Cuba so far as a transfer of the island by Spain to any European na- tion was concerned, and a recognition of the doctrine would be to Cuba's benefit and to our responsibility. The truth is, Cuba cannot afford to do with out the safety embraced in the Monroe doctrine, and this country will assur- edly insist that Cuba shall be free from European domination.
 The Cuban constitution and the re- lations of this country and Cuba need time for consideration. It will do nc harm to let the entire business stand over to the new Congress in December It would be better to give time foI fuller consideration of so important a matter; and that time will be given unless the President calls an extra ses sion, ostensibly to consider Cuban matters, but really to pass the, sub sidy bill.

"The parliamentarian of last years congress was woman, Mrs. Urquhart Lee of Chicago. A woman of Washing ton, a Daughter from way back, told me that when Mrs. Lee arrived in that city she was as a dream of exquisite lovellness. She was superbly handsome, and gloriously 'gowned'-how hideous Is that slang word 'gowned' and she was as self-possessed as a long-reigning em- press. Mrs. Lee reached Washington di- vine, in fact: but she left the city look ing as if she had been through pro- tracted spell of fever. Her work as par liamentarian of the D. A.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Affairs in China.

It is fair to presume that Germany and France, if not Russia, desire the dismemberment of China, and that they are working to that end, hindered by the fact that all the world is look ing on and will see more or less what they are doing. Count von Waldersee insists that his various murder and loot expeditions are designed to se- cure the acquiescence of China in the terms laid down by foreign envoys. Be this as it may, these expeditions planned against an absolutely defense less people are very disgusting to civ i1ization and humanity.
 This country should make its de- sire for settlement of the trouble in satisfactory peace treaty very plain and manifest. Whether the heads of ten princes and other leaders are cut off, or only eight, does not so much concern this country. Such retaliation is now unnecessary, for the footing and murders that have taken place in China are all the object lessons that country needs.
 What the United State needs is a peace treaty and the open door and no dismemberment. This is not the Russian programme, and it is not the trench or German programme. This country and England and Japan will have to pull together, and pull very much in earnest if the Waldersee power is to be broken and peace brought about. The Waldersee pro- gramme was never advisable, and the sooner we get away from it the better. The United States, England and Ja- pan can by acting unitedly, force the signing of treaty, and that is what they should do. Trade relations and common humanity alike demand it., and the administration should not stand in the way.

Christened Before Birth.

"Women born christened, or rather christened before birth, must be extreme ly interesting, especially if they be 'gowned' in the depth of fashion," said a clubman.
 "I have just been reading of the 'superbly "gowned' Mrs. Captain Blank kenship. nee Miss Grace Barr of Ken lucky as the poor woman appeared at a ball at Hong Kong. It appears that this apparently unhappy American wom- an is the wife of captain in the British army, and for that reason perhaps, or as her simply because she is American and outshines the other women, she is a 'gowned' person and Mrs Captain l don't believe a word of it; it is a slander have no doubt. Why didn't they charge her at once with being 'ellergunt?
 "The truth most likely is that this woman was not christened before she was born; that she was born Barr and not Miss Grace Barr; that she was taste fully Crossed for the Hong Kong ball. and not 'gowned' at all, and that she wasn't Mrs. Captain Blakenship, but was sim ply the wife of Captain Blakenship Those foreigners should be taught that American women, the loveliest women on are born, that they dress, and do not gown themselves, and that they do not bear military titles"

Cuba and the Cubans.

The Cuban constitution is far from completion, and at last accounts the convention was wrestling with the problems connected with relations with this country. Some of the mem bers of it are in favor of recognizing the Monroe doctrine in their constitu- tion. Such recognition would mean that all relations with European pow CTS must carry the consent of the United States, and this in turn would involve protection on the part of this
